                        QUARTERLY REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS

      To Our Shareholder and Friends:

      A 16% increase in net income and a 21% rise in earnings per share,
      diluted, in the three months ended September 30th marked the 32nd
      consecutive quarter of record earnings for Merchants New York Bancorp
      (NASDAQ: NMS: MBNY). This was the result of quality loan growth, greater
      investment income, a contribution of our asset-based lending subsidiary
      and cost controls.

      In the quarter ending September 30, 2000 net earnings rose to $6,384,583
      or $0.34 per share, diluted, up from $5,500,571 or $0.28 per share,
      diluted, in the 1999 third quarter.

      In the nine month period of 2000 net earnings reached $17,391,784 or $0.93
      per share, diluted, up from the then record same period last year of
      $14,673,689 or $0.76 per share, diluted, up 18.5%.

      On September 5, 2000 Merchants New York Bancorp announced it had entered
      into a definitive merger agreement with Valley National Bancorp (NYSE:
      VLY), Wayne, New Jersey. The merger is expected to close in the first
      quarter of 2001. If the merger is concluded there will be no changes at
      Merchants Bank. We will keep the name The Merchants Bank of New York and
      will operate as a Division of Valley National Bank. Our clients will
      receive the same attention from the same people they are accustomed to
      dealing with.

      The "Good Old Bank" continues and its motto remains: "The Safety of the
      Depositors comes first - earnings will inevitably follow."

                                                 Cordially yours,

                                                 /s/ Spencer B. Witty
