                       JSB FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Basis of Presentation
- -------------------------

        The financial  information  for JSB Financial,  Inc. (the  "Company") as
consolidated  with its wholly  owned  subsidiary  Jamaica  Savings Bank FSB (the
"Bank") is prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles
for interim financial  statements and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of  Regulation  S-X.  Such  principles  are  applied  on a  basis  materially
consistent  with  those  reflected  in the 1996  Annual  Report  filed  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  The financial  information included herein,
other than the consolidated  statement of financial condition as of December 31,
1996, has been prepared by management without an audit by independent  certified
public  accountants  who do not  express an opinion  thereon.  The  consolidated
statement of financial condition as of December 31, 1996, has been derived from,
but does not include all the disclosures  contained in, the audited consolidated
financial  statements  for the year ended  December  31, 1996.  The  information
furnished  includes  all  adjustments  and  accruals  consisting  only of normal
recurring accrual adjustments which are in the opinion of management,  necessary
for a fair  presentation  of results  for the  interim  periods.  The  foregoing
interim results are not necessarily  indicative of the results of operations for
the full year ending December 31, 1997.

        These  consolidated  financial  statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto,  included
in the Annual Report to Stockholders for JSB Financial,  Inc. for the year ended
December 31, 1996.

2.  Common Stock Listing
- ------------------------

        Effective  August 7, 1997,  the Company's  common stock began trading on
the New York  Stock  Exchange  (the  "NYSE")  under the symbol  "JSB".  Prior to
listing on the NYSE,  the Company's  stock was listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market
under the symbol "JSBF".  Stock price quotations can be found in the Wall Street
Journal and New York Times under a contraction  of the Company's  name,  such as
"JSB Fn". The Company's common stock initially began trading on June 27, 1990.

3.  Impact of New Accounting Standards
- --------------------------------------

Earnings Per Share
- ------------------

        During the first  quarter of 1997,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No.
128, "Earnings Per Share" ("Statement 128"). Statement 128 establishes standards
for computing and presenting  earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities
with  publicly  held common  stock or  potential  common  stock.  Statement  128
simplifies  the  standards  for  computing  EPS  previously  found in Accounting
Principles  Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share" ("Opinion 15"), and makes
the  standards  comparable  to  international  EPS  standards.  It replaces  the
presentation  of primary EPS with a  presentation  of basic EPS.  Statement  128
requires  dual  presentation  of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income
statement  for all  entities  with  complex  capital  structures  and requires a
reconciliation  of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to
the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.

        Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available
to  common  stockholders  by  the  weighted-average   number  of  common  shares
outstanding  for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the  potential  dilution that
could  occur  if  securities  or other  contracts  to issue  common  stock  were
exercised or  converted  into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
stock that then shared in the  earnings  of the entity.  Diluted EPS is computed
similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to Opinion 15.


<PAGE>

        Statement 128 is effective for financial  statements  issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997,  including interim periods;  earlier application
is not permitted.  Statement 128 requires  restatement of all  prior-period  EPS
data presented.

        The basic  EPS  under  Statement  128 will  result  in  higher  EPS than
previously  reported under Opinion 15. Diluted EPS are expected to be similar to
fully diluted EPS.

Reporting Comprehensive Income
- ------------------------------

        In June of 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income" ("Statement 130"). Statement 130 establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components  (revenues,  expenses,  gains
and  losses)  in a  full  set  of  general-purpose  financial  statements.  This
Statement  requires  that all items that are  required  to be  recognized  under
accounting  standards as  components  of  comprehensive  income be reported in a
financial  statement  that is  displayed  with  the  same  prominence  as  other
financial statements.  Statement 130 does not require a specific format for that
financial   statement  but  requires  that  an  enterprise   display  an  amount
representing  total  comprehensive  income  for the  period  in  that  financial
statement.

        Statement 130 requires that an  enterprise  (a) classify  items of other
comprehensive  income by their nature in a financial  statement  and (b) display
the accumulated balance of other  comprehensive  income separately from retained
earnings and additional  paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of
financial position.

        Statement 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997.  Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods provided for
comparative  purposes is required.  Management has not yet determined the impact
that Statement 130 will have on the Company.

Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

        In June of  1997,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No.  131,  "Disclosures  about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"  ("Statement 131"). Statement
131 establishes  standards for the way that public business  enterprises  report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
that those enterprises  report selected  information about operating segments in
interim financial reports issued to shareholders.  It also establishes standards
for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major
customers. This statement supersedes FASB Statement No. 14, "Financial Reporting
for Segments of a Business  Enterprise",  but retains the  requirement to report
information   about  major   customers.   It  amends  FASB   Statement  No.  94,
"Consolidation  of All  Majority-Owned  Subsidiaries",  to  remove  the  special
disclosure requirements for previously  unconsolidated  subsidiaries.  Statement
131 does not  apply  to  nonpublic  business  enterprises  or to  not-for-profit
organizations.

        Statement  131  requires  that  a  public  business   enterprise  report
financial and descriptive  information about its reportable  operating segments.
Operating  segments  are  components  of  an  enterprise  about  which  separate
financial  information  is available  that is  evaluated  regularly by the chief
operating  decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance.  Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the
basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding
how to allocate resources to segments.

        Statement  131  requires  that a  public  business  enterprise  report a
measure of segment profit or loss,  certain  specific revenue and expense items,
and segment assets.  This statement  requires  reconciliations  of total segment
revenues,  total segment profit or loss, total segment assets, and other amounts
disclosed   for   segments  to   corresponding   amounts  in  the   enterprise's
general-purpose  financial  statements.  It  requires  that all public  business
enterprises  report information about the revenues derived from the enterprise's
products or services  (or groups of similar  products and  services),  about the
countries in which the  enterprise  earns  revenues and holds assets,  and about
major  customers  regardless  of  whether  that  information  is used in  making
operating decisions.  However,  this statement does not require an enterprise to
report  information  that is not prepared for internal use if reporting it would
be impracticable.


<PAGE>

        Statement  131 also requires that a public  business  enterprise  report
descriptive   information  about  the  way  that  the  operating  segments  were
determined,  the  products  and  services  provided by the  operating  segments,
differences  between the measurements used in reporting segment  information and
those used in the enterprise's general-purpose financial statements, and changes
in the measurement of segment amounts from period to period.

        Statement  131  is  effective  for  financial   statements  for  periods
beginning  after  December  15,  1997.  In  the  initial  year  of  application,
comparative information for earlier years is to be restated. This statement need
not be  applied to  interim  financial  statements  in the  initial  year of its
application, but comparative information for interim periods in the initial year
of application is to be reported in financial  statements for interim periods in
the second year of application.

       The  Company  does not  expect  the  adoption  of  Statement  131 to have
a material affect on its financial condition or results of operations.

5.  Subsequent Events
- ---------------------

a. On October 21, 1997,  the  Company's  Board of Directors  declared a $.35 per
share  dividend on its common stock.  The dividend is to be paid on November 19,
1997,  to   stockholders   of  record  on  November  5,  1997,  and  will  total
approximately $3.5 million.

b. On October 1, 1997, the Bank sold $4.8 million of equity  securities,  with a
cost basis of $681,000 from its available for sale portfolio, realizing a pretax
gain of $4.1 million.

c. On October 29, 1997,  a subsidiary  of the Bank,  1995  Associates,  sold for
$15.1 million,  an office tower condominium  located at 1995 Broadway,  New York
City. The sale generated a pretax net gain of $9.2 million. The Bank retained an
$11.1 million first mortgage loan secured by the property.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------


General/Financial Condition
- ---------------------------

        JSB  Financial,  Inc.  is  a  Delaware-chartered  holding  company.  The
Company's  assets,  which totaled  approximately  $1.53 billion at September 30,
1997,  included  assets  totaling  $1.44  billion  owned  by  its  wholly  owned
subsidiary,  Jamaica  Savings  Bank FSB. In addition to the Bank's  assets,  the
Company's  earning  assets  were  comprised  of $12.0  million  in money  market
investments on deposit with the Bank, $75.0 million in short-term federal agency
securities,  and  $15.2  million  in  mortgage  loans  secured  by  multi-family
residential rental properties.

        During the second quarter of 1997, all real estate  properties  held for
investment were  reclassified to real estate held for sale. These properties are
no longer considered as held for investment as management will consider purchase
offers  for  these  properties.  The  properties  are  carried  at cost,  net of
accumulated  depreciation,  which is estimated  to be less than the  properties'
fair value net of estimated selling costs.

Subsidiary Activities
- ---------------------

        During the second  quarter of 1997,  the Bank's  subsidiary,  Tier Inc.,
began  operating  as a real  estate  investment  trust,  which may,  among other
things,  be  utilized  by the  Bank to raise  capital  in the  future.  The bank
initially  transferred  approximately  $360.0  million of mortgage loans to Tier
Inc.

        On October 29, 1997, a subsidiary of the Bank, 1995 Associates, sold for
$15.1 million,  an office tower condominium  located at 1995 Broadway,  New York
City.  The sale  generated a pretax net gain of $9.2 million.  The Bank holds an
$11.1 million first mortgage loan secured by the property.

Asset Quality
- -------------

        At September 30, 1997, the Bank's  non-performing  assets, which totaled
$14.5 million,  included:  non-performing loans of $13.5 million and $991,000 of
ORE.  The $13.5  million of  non-performing  loans  continues to include a $12.8
million  underlying  cooperative  mortgage loan that is under foreclosure and on
non-accrual status. The ratio of non-performing  assets to total assets was .94%
and .98% at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

        The Bank generally includes in non-performing  loans, loans which are 90
days or more in arrears and loans which have been placed on non-accrual  status.
In addition to non-performing loans,  non-performing assets include ORE, as well
as any  other  investments,  if any,  on which  the  collection  of  contractual
principal and interest is uncertain.  The ratio of non-performing loans to total
loans was 1.44% and 1.64%  (See  Non-performing/Non-accrual  Table,  herein)  at
September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

(1)  Represents a single  underlying  cooperative  mortgage  loan in arrears and
      under foreclosure.

(2)  The  Bank's  FHA and VA loans are  guaranteed,  seasoned  loans.  It is
      management's  belief that these loans,  including those in arrears,  do
      not present any significant collection risk to the Bank, and therefore,
      are presented separately from conventional mortgages.

Note: At September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, loans restructured in a
       trouble debt  restructure,  other than those  classified as impaired
       loans and/or  non-accrual  loans,  were  $1,862,000 and  $1,874,000,

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         The Company's funds are primarily  obtained  through  dividends paid by
the  Bank.  The  Bank's  primary  source of funds are  deposits,  proceeds  from
maturities  of  debt  securities,  principal  and  interest  payments  on  CMOs,
mortgages and other loans.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the
$390.0 million of purchases of U.S. Government and agency securities represented
the most  significant  use of funds from  investing  activities,  which replaced
maturities of an equal amount. Mortgage originations, substantially all of which
are at fixed  rates,  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 were $120.2
million,  compared to $106.1  million for the nine months  ended  September  30,
1996. Principal payments on CMOs totaled $82.6 million and principal payments on
mortgage loans were $46.7 million for the first nine months of 1997. Net deposit
outflows of $21.6 million and dividend  payments of $10.3 million  represent the
most  significant  cash  outflows  from  financing  activities.  The increase in
dividend payments reflects the increase in dividends paid per share to $1.05 for
the first  nine  months of 1997,  compared  to $.90 per share for the first nine
months of 1996.

        The net  decrease  in  deposits  of $21.6  million to $1.123  billion at
September 30, 1997, from $1.144 billion at December 31, 1996, reflects decreases
in passbook  accounts,  money market  accounts,  negotiable  order of withdrawal
("NOW")  accounts and demand deposit  accounts of $29.9  million,  $8.6 million,
$1.6  million  and $1.4  million,  respectively,  partially  offset  by an $18.5
million  increase in certificate  accounts and a $1.4 million  increase in lease
security  accounts.   Interest  rates  offered  on  passbook  accounts  remained
relatively low compared to alternative  short-term  CD's offered by the Bank and
products of the  investment  community.  This  scenario  has caused the trend of
deposit shifts from passbook accounts to short-term certificate accounts and the
trend of decline in net  deposits to continue.  Management  continues to monitor
deposit levels and interest rates in  conjunction  with asset  structure and has
evaluated and implemented  various strategies to provide for targeted objectives
in various  interest  rate  scenarios.  Net interest  rate spread,  net interest
margin,  liquidity,  and related  asset  quality are some of the key measures of
financial  performance that management remains focused on. The Bank's assets are
structured  such  that a  gradual  decline  in  deposits,  such  as the  current
scenario,  will not adversely  affect the Company.  The Bank's  liquidity ratios
continue  to exceed  all short and long term  minimum  regulatory  requirements.
Management is focused on providing quality customer service as its main strategy
for maintaining its relationships with its customers.  The Bank has expanded its
range of services to customers, including automated telephone banking and credit
cards.

        The Company did not  repurchase  shares of its common  stock  during the
nine months ended  September  30, 1997,  pursuant to its tenth stock  repurchase
program (the  "current  program"),  which began on June 12, 1996. As of December

Regulations
- -----------

        As  a  condition  of  deposit  account   insurance,   Office  of  Thrift
Supervision ("OTS") regulations require that the Bank calculate three regulatory
net worth requirements on a quarterly basis, and satisfy each requirement at the
calculation date and throughout the ensuing quarter. The three requirements are:
tangible  capital ratio of 1.50%,  leverage ratio (or "core  capital") of 3.00%,
and a  risk-based  assets  capital  ratio of 8.00%.  Although  the minimum  core
capital ratio is 3.00%, the OTS Prompt Corrective  Action Regulation  stipulates
that  an  institution  with  less  than  4.00%  core  capital  is  deemed  to be
undercapitalized.  The  Bank's  capital  ratios at  September  30,  1997 were as
follows:

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 1997
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 and 1996
- ---------

     Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997, was $8.6 million,
or $.83 per share,  compared with $6.6 million,  or $.64 per share for the three
months ended September 30, 1996.

        Net interest  income for the three months ended  September 30, 1997, was
$16.7  million,  compared to $16.9 million for the three months ended  September
30, 1996. This net decrease  reflects a $152,000 decrease in interest income and
a $34,000 increase in interest expense. The annualized yield on interest earning
assets decreased  nominally to 7.51%,  compared to 7.53%, for the quarters ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively;  and average interest earning assets
decreased by $18.9 million.  The annualized  cost of interest  bearing  deposits
increased  to 3.69% from 3.57% for the  quarters  ended  September  30, 1997 and
1996,  respectively and average  interest  bearing  deposits  decreased by $31.3
million.  For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the net interest rate spread
and net interest margin decreased to 3.82% and 4.68%, respectively,  compared to
3.96% and 4.72%, respectively for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

        Income earned on mortgage loans  increased by 5.0%, to $18.4 million for
the three months ended  September  30, 1997,  compared to $17.6  million for the
comparative  1996  period,  reflecting  continued  growth in the  mortgage  loan
portfolio.  This  increase  was  partially  offset by a decrease in the yield to
8.39% for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, from 8.71% for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996.

<PAGE>

        For the three months  ended  September  30,  1997,  income from debt and
equity  securities  increased  by $136,000,  or 2.8%,  to $4.9 million from $4.8
million for the three months ended  September  30,  1996.  This  increase is the
result of an increase in the average  investment in U.S.  Government and federal
agency  securities and other  investments  of $14.4 million,  or 4.6%, to $325.5
million,  compared to $311.1  million for the three months ended  September  30,
1996. The annualized yield on the debt and equity securities portfolio decreased
to 6.05% for the three months ended  September 30, 1997 from 6.15% for the three
months  ended  September  30,  1996.  The debt and equity  securities  portfolio
activity  for the  current  period  included  purchases  of $145.0  million  and
maturities  of $140.0  million,  compared with  purchases of $209.7  million and
maturities of $265.0  million for the quarter ended  September 30, 1996.  During
the quarter  ended  September  30,  1997,  the Bank sold $3.0  million of equity
securities, with a cost basis of $142,000 from its available for sale portfolio,
realizing a gain of $2.9 million.  Net of taxes,  this gain increased net income
by $1.6 million, or 16 cents per common share.

        For the quarter ended  September 30, 1997,  income on CMOs  decreased by
31.1%, to $1.9 million,  with an annualized yield of 5.98%,  from income of $2.7
million with an annualized  yield of 5.70% for the quarter  ended  September 30,
1996. During the third quarter of 1997, the Bank received  principal payments of
$26.6 million on CMOs, compared with principal payments of $28.9 million for the
quarter  ended  September  30,  1996.  CMO  purchases  during the quarter  ended
September 30, 1997 totaled $25.1 million, compared to purchases of $30.8 million
for the quarter ended  September 30, 1996. The Bank did not sell any CMOs during
either period.

        Income on  federal  funds  sold  decreased  by  $260,000,  or 22.3%,  to
$906,000  for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1997 from $1.2  million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996. This decrease  resulted from a decrease in the
average  investment  in federal  funds of $22.0 million to $64.8 million for the
current period,  compared with $86.8 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1996.  The  annualized  yield on federal  funds sold  increased to 5.59% for the
current quarter, compared to 5.37% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

        Interest  expense on deposits  remained  level at $10.1  million for the
quarters ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, respectively.  Average
interest bearing deposits decreased by $31.3 million,  to $1.095 billion for the
three months ended September 30, 1997,  compared to $1.126 billion for the three
months ended September 30, 1996, while the average rate paid on interest bearing
deposits increased to 3.69% from 3.57% for the comparative quarter in 1996.

        The provision for possible loan losses remained relatively  unchanged at
$162,000 compared to $160,000 for the same period in 1996.  Management regularly
evaluates the quality and  performance of the Company's  asset  portfolios,  and
thereby assesses the adequacy of loss allowances.

        Total non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1997,
increased to $4.5 million from $1.6 million for the three months ended September
30,  1996,  a net  increase  of $2.9  million,  or  174.2%.  The net  change  in
non-interest  income  primarily  reflects a $2.9 million profit from the sale of
Freddie Mac stock.

        Non-interest  expense  remained  relatively  unchanged,   increasing  by
$98,000,  or 1.4%, to $7.1 million during the quarter ended  September 30, 1997,
from $7.0 million for the quarter ended  September  30, 1996.  Other general and
administrative  expense  increased  by $272,000,  resulting  from an increase in
consultation fees in connection with the formation of Tier Inc. Compensation and
benefit  expense  decreased  by  $159,000,  primarily  reflecting  a decrease in
pension  fund  expense,  as a result of an increase  in income  earned on excess
pension fund assets.

        The provision for income taxes increased by $589,000,  or 12.2%, to $5.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 1997, from $4.8 million for the
three months ended  September 30, 1996.  This increase is reflective of the $2.6
million  increase in pre-tax  income,  offset by the  decrease in the  Company's
effective tax rate from 42.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, to 38.9%
for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1997.  The reduction in the effective tax
rate is primarily  reflective of certain state and city tax benefits  associated
with Tier Inc.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 and 1996
 --------

     Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, was $22.1 million,
or $2.14 per share, compared with $19.4 million, or $1.83 per share for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996.

        Net interest  income for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997,  was
$50.7 million, compared to $50.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. This net increase reflects a $484,000 decrease in interest expense,  and a
$339,000  decrease in interest income.  The annualized yield on interest earning
assets  increased  to  7.50%,  compared  to  7.46%,  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively; while average interest earning assets
decreased by $12.6  million.  The average  annualized  cost of interest  bearing
deposits  remained  relatively  stable,  increasing to 3.60% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997,  compared to 3.57% for the nine months ended September
30, 1996, and average interest bearing deposits decreased by $30.1 million.  For
the nine months ended  September 30, 1997,  the net interest rate spread and net
interest margin were 3.89% and 4.73%, respectively, compared to 3.90% and 4.67%,
respectively for the year to date period ended September 30, 1996.

        Income earned on mortgage loans  increased by $3.2 million,  or 6.3%, to
$54.6  million for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997  compared to $51.4
million for the  comparative  1996 period,  reflecting  continued  growth in the
mortgage  portfolio.  This  increase was  partially  offset by a decrease in the
mortgage  portfolio yield to 8.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
from 8.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

        For the nine months ended  September  30,  1997,  income on the debt and
equity  securities  portfolio  decreased  by $1.7  million,  or  9.9%,  to $15.2
million,  from $16.9 million for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996. This
decrease  is  the  result  of a  decrease  in the  average  investment  in  U.S.
Government and federal agency securities and other investments of $35.7 million,
or 9.6%, to $338.7 million, compared to $374.4 million for the nine months ended
September  30,  1996.  The  annualized  yield on the debt and equity  securities
portfolio  remained  relatively  stable,  decreasing to 5.98% from 6.01% for the
comparative  nine  month  periods.  The debt  and  equity  securities  portfolio
activity for the current period included purchases of $389.9 million essentially
matching maturities of $390.0 million.

        For the nine months ended  September 30, 1997,  income on CMOs decreased
by 18.2%, to $6.2 million,  with an annualized yield of 5.92%, from $7.5 million
with an annualized  yield of 5.55% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
This decrease is reflective of the decrease in the average investment in the CMO
portfolio of $42.0  million,  or 23.2% for the  comparative  nine month  period.
During the nine months ended  September 30, 1997,  the Bank  received  principal
payments of $82.6 million on CMOs, compared to $82.1 million for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1996.  CMO purchases for the current  period  totaled $55.0
million, compared to $124.3 million for the period ended September 30, 1996. The
Bank did not sell any CMOs during either period.

        Income on federal  funds sold  decreased by $246,000,  or 8.9%,  to $2.5
million,  for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $2.8 million
for the nine months ended  September  30, 1996.  This  decrease  resulted from a
decrease in the average  investment in federal  funds of $7.1 million,  to $62.0
million for the current period,  compared with $69.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. This annualized  yield on federal funds sold increased
to 5.43% for the current nine month period, compared to 5.35% for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996.

        Interest expense on deposits decreased by $484,000, to $29.8 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $30.2 million for the nine
months  ended  September  30, 1996.  This net decrease  reflects the decrease in
average interest  bearing deposits of $30.1 million,  or 2.7%, to $1.101 billion
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $1.131 billion for the
nine months ended  September  30, 1996.  The cost of interest  bearing  deposits
remained  relatively stable,  increasing to 3.60% from 3.57% for the comparative
nine month periods.


<PAGE>

        The  provision  for possible  loan losses  remained  relatively  stable,
increasing to $483,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to
$481,000 for the nine months ended  September  30,  1996.  Management  regularly
evaluates the quality and  performance of the Company's  asset  portfolios,  and
thereby assesses the adequacy of loss allowances.

        Total non-interest  income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
increased to $7.2 million from $4.0 million for the nine months ended  September
30, 1996, a net increase of $3.2 million, or 79.3%. During the nine months ended
September  30, 1997,  $2.9 million of gains were  realized on the sale of equity
securities, compared to $2,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
$498,000  increase in loans fees and service  charges for the current nine month
period  reflects an increase in  prepayment  penalties  on  commercial  mortgage
loans.  The $477,000  decrease in income from real estate  operations  primarily
reflects the impact of a $437,000  non-recurring  property  tax refund  received
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

        Non-interest  expense  increased by $405,000,  or 2.0%, to $20.7 million
for the first nine months of 1997,  from $20.3 million for the first nine months
of 1996.  ORE expense was $56,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997,
compared to income of $795,000  for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996,
which  included a  non-recurring  gain of $705,000  recognized  on the sale of a
property  acquired  through  foreclosure.   Compensation  and  benefits  expense
decreased by $476,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, primarily
as a result of a $510,000  decrease in pension fund expense,  resulting from the
increase  in income on excess  pension  fund  assets.  Occupancy  and  equipment
expense decreased by $328,000, as renovations to the Company's headquarters were
completed during 1996.  Other general and  administrative  expense  increased by
$299,000,  reflecting  an increase in  professional  fees incurred in connection
with Tier Inc.  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  premiums  increased by
$110,000 in connection  with federal  legislation  assessing Bank Insurance Fund
members a 1.3% basis point charge per $100 of insurable deposits.

        The provision for income taxes increased by $232,000,  or 1.6%, to $14.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, from $14.3 million for the
nine months ended  September  30, 1996.  This increase is reflective of the $2.9
million  increase in pre-tax  income,  offset by the  decrease in the  Company's
effective  tax rate from 42.5% for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996, to
39.7% for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997.  The  reduction  in the
effective  tax  rate is  primarily  attributed  to  certain  state  and city tax
benefits associated with the Bank's subsidiary, Tier Inc.
