REPUBLIC NEW YORK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
COVERING THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 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.
In June 1996, SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" was
issued. This SFAS as written, establishes the criteria for determining
whether a transfer of financial assets should be accounted for as a sale
or as a pledge of collateral in a secured borrowing. This SFAS will
be adopted by the Corporation on January 1, 1997. Subsequent to the
issuance of SFAS No. 125, the effective date of certain requirements
as originally issued have been proposed to be deferred for one year.
The adoption of this SFAS is not expected to have a material 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
Federal Savings Bank ("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 $650 million of assets acquired from BBI are currently
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 third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 compared to the corresponding periods of 1995.

the third quarter of 1995. As shown in the table on page 9, average
interest-earning assets rose to $41.0 billion in the third quarter of 1996
from $32.9 billion in the third quarter of 1995. The respective increases
reflected the additional interest-earning assets recently acquired from
BBI, the investment of deposit liabilities of branches acquired from First
Nationwide Bank, Bank Leumi Trust Company of New York and Independence
Savings Bank, and an increase in investment securities funded by deposits
in foreign offices and short-term borrowings. The net interest rate
differential was 2.47% in the third quarter of 1996, compared to 2.56%
in the third quarter last year.

<PAGE>
As shown in the table on page 10, net interest income was $736.0 million
for the first nine months of 1996, compared to $635.8 million, for the
nine-month period in the prior year. Average interest-earning assets rose
to $39.4 billion for the nine-month period of 1996 from $32.0 billion in
the corresponding period of 1995. The increases reflected the acquisition
during the period of additional interest-earning assets described above.
The net interest rate differential was 2.50% for the nine-month period of
1996, compared to 2.65% in 1995.
As previously announced, the Corporation has received regulatory approvals
to operate commercial banking subsidiaries in Russia and Brazil. These
subsidiaries will commence operations in the fourth quarter of 1996. Both
subsidiaries will focus on activities in the local capital markets and
servicing the local market needs of multinational corporate clients.
Provision for credit losses - was $20.0 million and $28.0 million in the
third quarter and first nine months of 1996, respectively, compared to
$3.0 million and $9.0 million for the corresponding periods of last year.
Net charge-offs were $9.0 million in the third quarter of 1996, compared to
net charge-offs of $4.0 million in the third quarter of 1995. A commercial
real estate charge-off of $6.0 million was the primary factor that
contributed to this increase. While no specific credit concerns exist,
management considers the increased provision for credit losses in the third
quarter of 1996 to be prudent in the context of increased domestic and
international exposures. For the first nine months of 1996, net charge-offs
were $21.2 million, compared to $15.5 million in the corresponding period
of last year. See Note 4 of notes to consolidated financial statements for
additional information related to the allowance for credit losses.
The allowance for possible credit losses at September 30, 1996 was $350.3
million, or 2.97% of loans outstanding net of unearned income, compared to
$300.6 million, or 3.05%, at December 31, 1995. The total allowance for
possible credit losses is available to absorb any credit losses in the
Corporation's portfolio. The increase in the allowance for credit losses at
September 30, 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 $11.8 billion at
September 30, 1996 was also primarily a result of the acquisition of the
BBI loan portfolio, consisting primarily of conventional residential and
commercial mortgage loans.
Approximately $650 million of assets acquired from BBI are currently
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 for
the periods ended:

(1) Included at September 30, 1996 and June 30, 1996 are $46.9 million and
$53.9 million, respectively, of exposure acquired from BBI that is covered
by the FDIC 80-percent loss-sharing agreement referred to above. See
"Statement of Condition" below for information on total non-performing
assets.
Other Operating Income - was $109.8 million in the third quarter of 1996,
compared to $96.8 million in the third quarter of last year and $109.2
million in the second quarter of 1996. For the first nine months of 1996,
such income was $326.2 million, compared to $315.9 million in the
nine-month period last year.
Income from trading activities was $43.5 million in the third quarter of
1996, compared to $37.6 million in the third quarter of last year and $42.1
million in the second quarter of 1996. The third quarter-to-quarter change
primarily resulted from an increase in trading account profits and
commissions partially offset by a reduction in foreign exchange trading
income from the level recorded in the third quarter of last year. For the
first nine months of 1996, income from trading activities was $131.3
million, compared to $150.3 million in the same period a year ago. This
reduction of income resulted from lower levels of foreign exchange trading
income and income from precious metals that was partially offset by
increased trading account profits and commissions.
Investment securities gains were $5.6 million in the third quarter of 1996
compared to $4.3 million in the third quarter of last year. For the first
nine months of 1996, investment securities gains were $15.4 million
compared to $9.3 million last year. In the nine-month periods, the gains
were primarily from sales of securities available for sale and to a lesser
degree redemptions prior to scheduled maturity in 1996. In 1995, the gains
were from sales and redemptions of securities prior to scheduled maturity.
The Corporation recorded a net loss on loans sold or held for sale of $1.4
million in the third quarter of 1996 compared to a $3.1 million gain in the
third quarter of last year. Originated mortgage loans were sold in both
periods with the Corporation retaining the servicing rights. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, net gains on loans sold or held for sale
were $0.4 million compared to $3.9 million in the nine-month period a year
ago.
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, amounted to $18.2 million in the third quarter of 1996
compared to $14.8 million in the third quarter of 1995. For the first
nine months of 1996, commission income amounted to $52.8 million compared
to $43.1 million for the nine-month period of 1995. The rise in
commission income in both periods, primarily reflects an increase in the
level of fees for the shipment of U.S. dollar denominated banknotes.
Equity in the earnings of affiliate rose to $23.8 million in the third
quarter of 1996, compared to $20.2 million in the third quarter of last
year. For the nine-month period of 1996, these earnings were $68.3 million
compared to $58.7 million for the corresponding period of 1995. 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%. These increases were
due to higher levels of net interest income, partially offset by increases
in the provision for credit losses and income taxes at Safra Republic.
Safra Republic's total client portfolio accounts, both on- and
off-balance-sheet, increased to $20.8 billion at September 30, 1996 from
$16.0 billion at September 30, 1995. This change consisted of increases of
$3.1 billion, or 49%, in client portfolio assets and $1.7 billion or 18%,
in client deposits. This increase includes the client assets from the
recent acquisition of Banque Unigestion S.A., a Geneva-based private bank.
-12-
<PAGE>
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 $20.1 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared
to $16.7 million in the third quarter of last year. The third quarter of
1996 included $2.3 million of income related to net gains on the sale of
other real estate owned. Other income for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, was $58.0 million and $50.6 million in 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The nine-month periods included gains of $1.1 million from
the repurchase and early extinguishment of long-term debt and $2.7 million
from the sale of a New York retail branch in 1996 and $1.3 million from the
sale of a New York retail branch in 1995.
Other Operating Expenses - totaled $198.3 million in the third quarter and
$578.5 million for the first nine months of 1996, compared to $162.2
million and $652.4 million for the corresponding periods of 1995. The third
quarter of 1996 included expenses of approximately $18.0 million
attributable to the operations of BBI and branches acquired from First
Nationwide and Bank Leumi and $2.0 million of one-time occupancy expenses
resulting from consolidation of branches. The nine-month period of 1995
included the Corporation's second quarter pre-tax provision for
restructuring and related charges of $120.0 million in connection with a
company-wide project to improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs.
Salaries and employee benefits were $105.6 million in the third quarter of
1996, compared to $93.3 million in the third quarter of last year. For the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, such expenses rose to $310.9 million
from $291.0 million in the year-earlier period. These increases primarily
reflect staff additions attributable to the above-mentioned acquisitions
and higher incentive compensation.
Occupancy expense was $20.6 million in the third quarter of 1996 and $55.1
million for the nine-month period of 1996, compared to $14.4 million and
$43.5 million in the comparable periods of 1995. These increases were
primarily due to the acquisition of 38 branches during the first nine
months of 1996 that included a one-time charge in the third quarter of 1996
of $2.0 million related to branch consolidations.
All other expenses were $72.1 million in the third quarter of 1996,
compared to $54.5 million in the third quarter of last year. All other
expenses in the third quarter of 1996 rose $17.7 million, when compared to
the third quarter of 1995 which included an FDIC insurance premium rebate
of $6.3 million. The third quarter-to-quarter increase reflects a full
quarter of expenses attributable to the BBI, First Nationwide and Bank
Leumi acquisitions, including increased costs for amortization of goodwill
and other intangible assets related to recent acquisitions. Amortization of
goodwill and other intangible assets amounted to $7.6 million in the third
quarter of 1996 compared to $2.5 million in the third quarter last year.
For the nine-month period of 1996, all other expenses were $212.5 million,
compared to $197.9 million in the same period last year that included a
one-time charge for charitable contributions of $7.5 million. The
nine-month period of 1996 includes amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles of $21.0 million, compared to $7.3 million in the nine-month
period of 1995. This change was primarily due to the recent acquisitions
mentioned above.

<PAGE>
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 decreased $10.1 million in the third quarter
of 1996 and increased $49.0 million during the first nine months of 1996
when compared to the corresponding periods of 1995. As a result of a tax
law change enacted in August 1996, the Corporation is no longer liable for
deferred taxes which had been provided in prior years for credit provisions
of Republic Bank for Savings, which was merged into Republic National Bank
on January 2, 1996. In the third quarter of 1996, the Corporation
recorded a one-time $12.0 million income tax benefit related to this tax
law change. The increase in total applicable income taxes for the
nine-month period of 1996 resulted from the lower level of income before
income taxes recorded in 1995 due to the effect of the restructuring charge
taken. The effective tax rates, total applicable income taxes as a
percentage of income before income taxes, for the third quarter and first
nine months of 1996 were 26% and 32%, respectively, compared to 34% and 33%
in the corresponding periods of last year.
STATEMENT OF CONDITION
Stockholders' Equity and Capital Ratios
At September 30, 1996, stockholders' equity included $12.0 million, which
represents the after-tax unrealized appreciation in the valuation of the
Corporation's portfolio of securities available for sale and approximately
49% of Safra Republic's unrealized appreciation in its portfolio of
securities available for sale, compared to an unrealized depreciation in
both such portfolios 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 capital guidelines, the Corporation excludes
Republic New York Securities Corporation's assets and off-balance-sheet
contracts from the Corporation's capital calculations. Such guidelines
require the Corporation to deduct one-half of its investment in this
subsidiary from each of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.
The following table presents the Corporation's risk-based capital ratios:

At September 30, 1996, the ratio of the Corporation's total common
stockholders' equity to total assets was 5.24%, compared to 5.54% at
December 31, 1995. The decline in this ratio was attributable to total
assets increasing 15.3%, to $50.6 billion, at September 30, 1996 from $43.9
billion at December 31, 1995 primarily as a result of the BBI acquisition
while common stockholders' equity increased 7.3%, or $219.5 million, during
