REPUBLIC NEW YORK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
COVERING THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995
1. On January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This SFAS
establishes the recognition and measurement criteria for impairment losses on
long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to
those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. This SFAS requires that an
impairment loss be recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The adoption of
this SFAS has had no effect on the Corporation's results of operations or its
financial condition.
On January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation." This SFAS encourages the adoption of a new
accounting method for employee stock-based compensation plans and applies to all
arrangements whereby an employee receives stock or other equity instruments of
an employer based on the price of an employer's stock. These arrangements
include restricted stock, stock options and stock appreciation rights. The SFAS
also permits the retention of the Corporation's current method of accounting for
these plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.25. The Corporation
will continue its current method of accounting for stock based compensation and,
therefore, pro forma footnote disclosures of net income and earnings per share
will be provided on an annual basis. The adoption of this SFAS will have no
effect on the Corporation's results of operations or its financial condition.
2. On February 29, 1996, the Corporation completed the acquisition of
Brooklyn Bancorp, Inc.("BBI") and its wholly-owned subsidiary CrossLand FSB
("CrossLand"). The Corporation purchased all of the common stock and common
stock equivalents of BBI at $41.50 per share for a total consideration of
approximately $529.5 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
and CrossLand's operations were merged into Republic National Bank of New York.
The excess of cost over the market value of net assets acquired, goodwill,
amounted to $186 million and is being amortized to expense on a straight-line
basis over a life of fifteen years. Approximately $796 million of assets
acquired from BBI are subject to a loss-sharing agreement with the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Under this agreement, the Corporation will
be reimbursed by the FDIC for 80 percent of any losses it incurs through the
expiration of the agreement on June 30, 1998. BBI had total assets of $4.1
billion, total deposits of approximately $3.6 billion and 30 branches in the New
York metropolitan area. Also see "Management's Discussion and Analysis-Results
of Operations".
3. On March 22, 1996, the Corporation sold, in a public offering, $100
million principal amount of 7% Subordinated Notes due 2011. The Notes are direct
unsecured general obligations of the Corporation and are subordinated to all
present and future senior indebtedness of the Corporation. The Notes are not
redeemable prior to maturity. The net proceeds received by the Corporation have
been used for general corporate purposes, which included the repurchase of $100
million principal amount outstanding of the Corporation's issue of Subordinated
Floating Rate Yield Curve Notes due 2002. Other income in the first quarter of
1996, included a gain of $1.1 million in connection with the repurchase and
early extinguishment of this debt issue.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's discussion and analysis of the summary of operations should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and notes
shown elsewhere in this Report. In the following discussion, the interest income
earned on tax exempt obligations has been adjusted (increased) to a
fully-taxable equivalent basis. The rate used for this adjustment was
approximately 44%. This tax equivalent adjustment permits all interest income
and net interest income to be analyzed on a comparable basis. The following
table presents a comparative summary of the increases (decreases) in income and
expense for the first quarter of 1996 compared to the first quarter of 1995.

Net Interest Income - on a fully-taxable equivalent basis amounted to $231.5
million in the first quarter of 1996, compared to net interest income of $225.8
million in the first quarter of 1995. The acquisition of Brooklyn Bancorp, Inc.
("BBI") increased net interest income in the first quarter of 1996 by
approximately $17 million, after imputing the cost of acquisition funding. As
shown in the table on page 9, average interest-earning assets rose to $37.2
billion in the first quarter of 1996, from $32.2 billion in the first quarter of
1995, or 15.4%. This increase reflected the additional interest-earning assets
acquired in the BBI transaction.

Net interest rate differential declined to 2.50% in the first quarter of 1996
from 2.84% in the first quarter of 1995. The decline in rate differential in the
first quarter of 1996 from the first quarter last year was attributable
primarily to the lower level of interest income from high-yield short-term
assets in Brazil. In the first quarter of 1996, these investments contributed
approximately 1.9% of interest income, compared to a contribution of
approximately 6.0% in the first quarter of 1995.
At March 31, 1996, the Corporation's total exposure to Brazil, consisting
primarily of Brady Bonds, medium-term government bonds and short-term government
bonds, was approximately 1.65% of total assets, up from 1.55% at year end 1995.
Provision for loan losses - was $4.0 million in the first quarter of 1996,
compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of last year.
Net loan charge-offs were $7.9 million in the first quarter of 1996, compared to
net loan charge-offs of $3.7 million in the first quarter of 1995. See Note 4 of
notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information related to
the allowance for possible loan losses and net charge-offs.
The allowance for possible loan losses at March 31, 1996 was $339.2 million, or
3.07% of loans outstanding net of unearned income, compared to $300.6 million,
or 3.05% at December 31, 1995. The total allowance for possible loan losses is
available to absorb credit losses in the Corporation's entire portfolio. The
increase in the allowance for loan losses in the first quarter of 1996 from year
end 1995, was primarily attributable to the addition of the allowance acquired
from BBI of $42.6 million. The increase in loans from $9.8 billion at December
31, 1995 to $11.1 billion at March 31, 1996 was also primarily a result of the
loan portfolio, consisting primarily of conventional residential and commercial
mortgage loans, acquired in the BBI transaction.
Approximately $796 million of assets acquired from BBI are subject to a
loss-sharing agreement with the FDIC. Under this agreement, the Corporation will
be reimbursed by the FDIC for 80 percent of any losses it incurs through the
expiration of the agreement on June 30, 1998.
The following table presents summary data related to non-accrual loans at

Other Operating Income - rose to $107.3 million in the first quarter of 1996,
compared to $99.1 million in the first quarter last year. Included in the first
quarter of 1996 was approximately $1.2 million of other income attributable to
BBI.
Income from trading activities declined to $45.7 million in the first quarter of
1996, from $46.5 million in the first quarter of last year, but increased from
$25.5 million in the fourth quarter of 1995. The first quarter-to-quarter change
was attributable to a decline in income from precious metals that was partially
offset by increased income from foreign exchange and trading account profits and
commissions. The increase in trading income in the first quarter of 1996,
compared to the fourth quarter of 1995, resulted from expanded marketing efforts
and increased client activity.
Investment securities gains were $5.3 million in the first quarter of 1996,
compared to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 1995. In both periods, the
respective gains were primarily from sales of securities available for sale and,
to a lesser degree, redemptions prior to maturity of securities held to
maturity. A net gain on loans sold or held for sale of $1.5 million was recorded
in the first quarter of 1996, compared to a net gain of $0.8 million in the
first quarter of last year.
Commission income, which consists primarily of fees for the issuance of letters
of credit, the creation of acceptances and the collection and transfer of funds,
was $15.6 million in the first quarter of 1996, compared to $15.2 million in the
corresponding period of 1995.
Equity in the earnings of affiliate rose to $21.6 million in the first quarter
of 1995, up from $19.2 million in the first quarter of last year. This income
represents the Corporation's share of the earnings of Safra Republic Holdings
S.A. ("Safra Republic"), a European international private banking group of which
the Corporation owns approximately 49%. This increase was due to higher levels
of net interest income and other income, primarily investment securities gains,
partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses, operating
expenses and income taxes. Safra Republic's total client portfolio accounts were
$17.5 billion at March 31, 1996, compared to $14.8 billion at March 31, 1995.
This change consisted of increases of $1.6 billion, or 28%, in client portfolio
assets and $1.1 billion, or 12%, in client deposits.
The Corporation's other income, which consists primarily of service charges on
deposit accounts, trust income and other income from factoring and overseas
locations, was $17.5 million in the first quarter of 1996, compared to $15.7
million in the first quarter of l995. Included in the first quarter of 1996 was
a gain of $1.1 million from the repurchase and early extinguishment of an issue
of $100 million principal amount of floating rate subordinated long-term debt.
Other Operating Expenses - were $184.3 million in the first quarter of 1996, of
which approximately $14 million was attributable to BBI, including $2.9 million
for amortization of intangible assets. This compared to operating expenses of
$192.6 million in the first quarter of 1995, which included a one-time expense
of $7.5 million related to a change in the method of accounting for charitable
contributions. The Corporation expects to realize expense savings in the next
two quarters as redundancies resulting from the BBI acquisition are eliminated.
-11-
Salaries and employee benefits were $101.1 million in the first quarter of 1996,
compared to $101.7 million in the first quarter of 1995. The 1996 amount
reflects both staff reductions attributable to the Corporation's 1995
re-engineering program and additions to staff related to recent acquisitions and
new business expansion.
Occupancy expense was $16.4 million in the first quarter of 1996, compared to
$14.5 million in the first quarter of 1995. This increase was primarily due to
the acquisition of 30 additional BBI branches.
All other expenses were $66.9 million in the first quarter of 1996 and $76.4
million in the first quarter of last year, which included the $7.5 million
one-time charge for charitable contributions as described above. Excluding the
effect of this one-time charge in the first quarter of 1995, all other expenses
in the first quarter of 1996 declined $2.0 million, or 2.9%, compared to 1995.
This change reflected a reduction in the rate of FDIC insurance premiums, which
was partially offset by the increased costs for amortization of goodwill and
other intangible assets related to recent acquisitions.
Total Applicable Income Taxes - have been adjusted (increased) to reflect the
inclusion of interest income on tax exempt obligations as if they were subject
to federal, state and local taxes, after giving effect to the deductibility of
state and local taxes for federal income tax purposes. Total applicable income
taxes increased $9.0 million, or 21.5%, between the first quarters of 1996 and
1995. The effective tax rates, total applicable income taxes as a percentage of
income before income taxes, for the first quarters of 1996 and 1995 were 34% and
32%, respectively. This increase was attributable to proportionately higher
levels of income being earned in jurisdictions with higher tax rates.
STATEMENT OF CONDITION
Stockholders' Equity and Capital Ratios
At March 31, 1996, stockholders' equity included a deduction of $92.3 million,
which represented the after-tax unrealized depreciation in the valuation of the
Corporation's portfolio of securities available for sale and approximately 49%
of Safra Republic's unrealized appreciation in its securities available for sale
portfolio, this compares with a deduction of $74.8 million at December 31, 1995.
The Corporation's leverage ratio, Tier 1 capital to quarterly average assets,
and its risk-based capital ratios, Tier 1 and total qualifying capital to
risk-weighted assets, include the assets and capital of Safra Republic on a
consolidated basis in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Reserve
Board specifically applied to the Corporation.
In accordance with regulatory guidelines, the Corporation excludes Republic New
York Securities Corporation's assets and off-balance-sheet contracts from the
Corporation's capital calculations. The guidelines require the Corporation to
deduct one-half of its investment in this subsidiary from each of Tier 1 and
Tier 2 capital.

Total risk-based capital ratio 22.68% 24.96%
Leverage ratio 5.57% 6.24%
</TABLE>
These ratios substantially exceeded the minimums in effect for bank holding
companies.
At March 31, 1996, the ratio of the Corporation's total common stockholders'
equity to total assets was 5.21%, compared to 5.54% at December 31, 1995. The
decline in this ratio at March 31, 1996 was attributable to total assets
increasing to $47.1 billion from $43.9 billion at December 31, 1995, primarily
as a result of the BBI acquisition while common stockholders' equity increased
by $21.5 million.
