                  The TR Financial Corp. Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")
was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, effective as of January 1,
1993, amended and restated effective as of January 1, 1994, and further amended
effective January 1, 1996. It is a tax-qualified plan under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC"). The ESOP is administered by the Employee
Benefits Committee ("Committee") Roosevelt Savings Bank ("Bank"), which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Committee currently consists of four
officers of the Bank, and the assets of the ESOP are held in a trust ("Trust")
for which State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as trustee ("Trustee").

- --------
1 The number of shares as to which the Committee has voting power are the shares
of the ESOP that are unallocated and shares held in the RRP that are not yet
granted. In the event that a participant does not direct the voting of (i)
shares that are held in the ESOP that have been allocated to the participant's
account or (ii) shares of the RRP that have been granted to the participant but
that have not yet been distributed, then these shares will be voted in the same
proportion as the directed shares and the Committee may be deemed to have voting
power with respect to the shares included in (i) and (ii) above.

                                                              Page 5 of 7 pages



                  Pursuant to the written plan document governing the ESOP
("ESOP Document"), each Participant in the ESOP ("Participant") is entitled to
direct the Trustee as to the manner in which Common Stock held by the ESOP and
allocated to his or her account is voted on all matters on which shareholders of
the Company may vote (pass through voting). Any unallocated Common Stock is
generally required to be voted by the Trustee in the same proportion as Common
Stock which has been allocated to Participants is directed to be voted. Each
Participant also has the right to direct whether Common Stock held by the ESOP
and allocated to his or her account should be delivered by the Trustee in
response to a tender offer made to holders of Common Stock and to direct the
assertion of dissenters' rights with respect to any matter in which holders of
Common Stock have the right to assert such rights. Any unallocated Common Stock
is generally required to be delivered by the Trustee in response to a tender
offer, and dissenters' rights with respect to such unallocated Common Stock are
required to be asserted, in the same proportion as Common Stock which has been
allocated to Participants. The Committee shares with the Trustee dispositive
power over Common Stock held under the ESOP as, pursuant to the ESOP Document
and ESOP Trust Agreement, the Committee can direct the Trustee to purchase or
sell shares of Common Stock if the Committee considers such action to be in the
interests of the Participants. As of December 31, 1997, 1,050,368 shares of
Common Stock had been allocated to Participant accounts, and 1,023,094 shares of
Common Stock had not been allocated to Participant accounts.

         The Roosevelt Savings Bank Recognition and Retention Plan for Officers
("RRP") for Officers was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Bank,
effective as of June 29, 1993. It is not a tax-qualified plan under the IRC. The
RRP is also administered by the Committee and the assets of the RRP are held in
a trust for which Marine Midland Bank ("Marine") serves as trustee. Pursuant to
the written plan document and trust agreement, each officer has pass-through
voting with respect to the shares granted to him/her. The Committee has the
power to direct the Trustee to vote the shares which have not yet been granted
in the same proportion as the directions received for the granted shares. The
Committee may also direct Marine as to the manner of exercise of any rights to
tender shares held in the RRP.

         The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan of Roosevelt Savings Bank
("SERP") was adopted by the board of Directors on March 21, 1989, and amended
and restated as of March 16, 1993. It is not a tax-qualified plan under the IRC.
The SERP is also administered by the Committee and the assets of the SERP are
held in a trust for which Marines serves as trustee. Pursuant to the written
plan document and trust agreement, Marine has sole discretion to vote shares
held in the SERP and the Committee has the sole power to direct the Trustee to
dispose of any shares held in the SERP.


                                     ITEM 5
OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS:        Not applicable.

                                     ITEM 6
OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON:

                  Dividends declared on Common Stock held by the ESOP which have
been allocated to the account of a Participant are allocated to the account of
such Participant. Such dividends may be held and invested in the same manner as

provided in the ESOP Document. Participants may receive, or direct the receipt

direct the receipt of dividends on, or the proceeds of the sale of, more than 5%
of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.
