               THE GREATER NEW YORK SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       GENERAL

         The consolidated financial statements of The Greater New York Savings
Bank and Subsidiaries (the "Greater") in this report have not been audited
except for the information derived from the audited Consolidated Statement of
Financial Condition as of December 31, 1996. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes
thereto included in the Greater's Annual Report to Stockholders and in the
related Annual Report on Form F-2 for the year ended December 31, 1996, which
has been filed as an exhibit to The Greater New York Bancorp's Registration
Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Commission on February 20, 1997, as amended
(File No. 333-22127) pursuant to the Securities Act, and is incorporated by
reference in this Form 8-K/A, as supplemented by its Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1997. The June 30, 1997
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been filed as an exhibit to Astoria Financial
Corporation's (the "Company") Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the
Commission on October 3, 1997, pursuant to the Securities Act, and is
incorporated by reference in this Form 8-K/A.

         In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of financial condition and results of operations for the
interim periods presented have been made. These adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature, except for certain adjustments made in connection with the
merger of the Greater into Astoria Federal Savings and Loan Association (the
"Association") (see Note 4). The results of operations for the interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
entire year or any other interim period. Certain reclassifications have been
made to prior period amounts. In preparing the consolidated financial
statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

2.       (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Both primary and fully diluted loss per share are calculated by
dividing net loss plus preferred stock dividend requirements by the
weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Primary and fully
diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income less preferred
stock dividend requirements by the weighted-average number of shares of common
stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. Common stock
equivalents consist of options to purchase common stock.

         Prior to the actual conversion of ESOP Series A 8.25% Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") on July 3, 1997 (see Note
3), the computation of fully diluted earnings per share also included certain
adjustments to net income and the addition of other potentially dilutive
securities outstanding. The adjustments to net income represented the
elimination of ESOP dividends and the addition of incremental expense, which
would have arose as a result of a hypothetical conversion into common stock of
the Preferred Stock. Other potentially dilutive securities represented the
shares of common stock that would have arose from such a conversion.

         Preferred stock dividend requirements, adjusted net (loss) income
applicable to common stock and the average number of shares used for primary and
fully diluted (loss) earnings per share computations are summarized as follows:

3.       CONVERSION OF SERIES A 8.25% CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

         On July 3, 1997, the United States Trust Company of New York, the
trustee of the Greater's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), converted all
the outstanding shares of the Greater's Preferred Stock into the Greater's
common stock. The Preferred Stock was converted at a rate of 0.9448 per share of
common stock for each share of the Preferred Stock. As a result, 1,396,227
shares of the Greater's common stock was issued upon the conversion of 1,477,802
shares of the Preferred Stock. The conversion had no impact on the Greater's
reported financial position at September 30, 1997 or its results of operations
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997. The conversion
resulted in a reclassification of $5.1 million of preferred equity to common
equity.

4.       MERGER INTO ASTORIA FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION

         Following the close of business on September 30, 1997, the Greater was
acquired by and merged into the Association, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, in a transaction that was accounted for as a purchase (the "Merger").

         The Merger contained restrictions on the operations of the Greater
pending the completion of the Merger and also required the Greater, at the
written request of the Company, to modify and change its loan, litigation, real
estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and
level of reserves) and investment and asset/liability management policies and
practices before the consummation of the Merger so as to be consistent on a
mutually satisfactory basis with those of the Association, subject to compliance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and all applicable laws and
regulations. The Greater was not obligated to take any such action until after
the date on which all required regulatory and shareholder approvals were
received, and after receipt of written confirmation from the Company that the
Greater was not aware of any fact or circumstance that would prevent completion
of the Merger.

         In September 1997, the Company advised the Greater in writing to: (i)
record an incremental pre-tax provision for loan losses of $21.0 million, (ii)
transfer approximately $25 million of commercial real estate and multi-family
loans that would have been categorized as 60-89 days past due and still accruing
interest at September 30, 1997 to a nonperforming status, and (iii) record pre-
tax charges totaling $3.5 million related to the transfer of the aforementioned
loans (of which $2.0 million was recorded as expenses for nonperforming loans
and real estate activities and $1.5 million was recorded as a reversal of
interest income previously accrued).

5.    LEGAL MATTERS

         On April 3, 1997, a purported class action was commenced in the Supreme
Court of the State of New York (Kings County) against the Greater, its directors
and certain of its executive officers. The suit is entitled Leonard Minzer and
Harry Schipper v. Gerard C. Keegan, et al. The suit alleges, among other things,
that the directors and certain executive officers of the Greater have breached
their fiduciary duties in entering into the merger agreement and related
arrangements.

         The complaint seeks, among other things, a preliminary and permanent
injunction against the Merger and the related transactions, an order to the
directors and executive officers to carry-out their fiduciary duties, and
unspecified damages and costs. The Greater believes that the allegations made in
this action are without merit. On May 16, 1997, Mr. Keegan and the Greater filed
an initial motion to dismiss the action.

         On July 18, 1997, a purported class action was commenced in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of New York entitled Leonard Minzer and
Harry Schipper v. Gerard C. Keegan, et al. against the Greater, its directors,
certain of its executive officers, the Company and the Association. The suit
alleges, among other things, that the Greater, its directors and certain of its
executive officers solicited proxies in violation of Section 14(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14a-9, promulgated thereunder by
failing to disclose certain allegedly material facts in the proxy statement, as
amended, that was circulated to the Greater's shareholders in connection with
the merger, and that the Greater's directors and certain executive officers have
breached their fiduciary duties in entering into the merger agreement and
related arrangements. Plaintiff's also claim, among other things, that the
Company and the Association aided the Greater's officers and directors in
allegedly breaching their fiduciary duties. Plaintiffs sought, among other
things, a preliminary and permanent injunction against consummation of the
Merger and the related transactions, an order directing the directors and
executive officers of the Greater to carry-out their fiduciary duties, and
unspecified damages and costs. The Greater and the Association were served with
the complaint in the Federal Action on July 30, 1997. On July 31, 1997, the
plaintiffs made an application to the Court for expedited discovery and to set a
hearing on their prospective application for a preliminary injunction. Shortly
thereafter, all defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint in this
action.

         At a hearing on August 11, 1997, the Court permitted certain limited,
particularized discovery to be had by the plaintiffs. On September 2, 1997, the
plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and an application for a preliminary
injunction. An evidentiary hearing on the plaintiffs' application was held on
September 10, 1997. On September 22, 1997, the court issued a written decision
denying the plaintiffs' application in all respects. On or about November 18,
1997, a stipulation signed by counsel for all parties was filed withdrawing
plaintiffs claims, without prejudice, against certain of the Greater's officers
who were not also directors of the Greater, that stipulation must be so ordered
by the Court. Certain of the Greater's non-director officers also entered into
an agreement providing, among other things, that the running of time is tolled
for one year for purposes of all legal or equitable defenses which they may have
with respect to the claims asserted in the lawsuits. The Greater has indicated
that it believes that the allegations made in this action are without merit. All
defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiff's amended complaint on or
about November 19, 1997.

                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
                                        
(A)      Basis of Presentation

         The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Statement of
         Financial Condition of the Company and the Greater at September 30,
         1997 has been prepared as if the Merger had been consummated on that
         date. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated
         Statements of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 1996 and the
         Nine Months ended September 30, 1997 were prepared as if the Merger had
         been consummated on January 1, 1996. The unaudited pro forma combined
         condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the historical
         financial statements of the Company and the Greater after giving effect
         to the Merger under the purchase method of accounting and the
         assumptions and adjustments in the notes that follow.

         Assumptions relating to the pro forma adjustments set forth in the
         unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial
         statements are summarized as follows:

         (i) Estimated fair values - Estimated fair values for securities
         held-to-maturity and loans were valued as of September 30, 1997. Their
         resulting net purchase premiums are being amortized into interest
         income to produce a constant yield-to-maturity. Estimated fair values
         for deposits and borrowings were valued based upon interest rates for
         comparable products as of September 30, 1997. Their resulting discount
         and premium are being accreted and amortized, respectively, into
         interest expense on a straight-line basis over their remaining
         maturities.

         (ii) The amortization of the excess of cost over fair value of net
         assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a
         period of fifteen years.

         (iii) Income taxes - a net deferred tax asset was recorded equal to the
         deferred tax consequences associated with the differences between the
         tax basis and book basis of the assets acquired and liabilities
         assumed, using a statutory rate of 43.07%.

(B)      The Merger Agreement required the Greater at the written request of the
         Company to modify and change certain of its policies and practices,
         including loan policies and practices, before the consummation of the
         Merger so as to be consistent on a mutually satisfactory basis with
         those of the Association subject to compliance with generally accepted
         accounting principles and all applicable laws and regulations. During
         the third quarter of 1997, the Greater complied with the Company's
         request to record an additional provision for loan losses of
         $21,000,000. The provision is reflected in the Greater's historical
         Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Nine Months Ended
         September 30, 1997.

(C)      Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, holders of the Greater common
         stock received, subject to certain election, allocation and proration
         procedures, either 0.50 shares of the Company common stock or $19.00 in
         cash for each share of the Greater common stock, subject to 75% of the
         Greater common stock being converted into the right to receive the
         Company common stock and 25% being converted into the right to receive
         cash. The total cost of the transaction is summarized as follows:

<FN>
(i)      Based on 15,429,124 shares of the Greater common stock outstanding as
         of September 30, 1997 (excluding 240,000 shares owned by the Company -
         see item (iii)), of which 25% represents 3,857,281 shares and 75%
         represents 11,571,843 shares.

(ii)     Represents 36,000 options cashed-out by the Greater's directors and
         241,840 options which certain Greater executive officers elected to
         exchange for options to purchase the Company common stock.

(iii)    Calculated as if the Company elected 100% cash consideration for
         240,000 shares previously owned. The previously recorded unrealized
         gain on such shares reduced the excess of cost over fair value of net
         assets acquired.

(iv)     The Company issued 2,000,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at
         $1.00 par value, with a liquidation preference of $25 per share.

(v)      Total transaction costs of $38,295,000 consist of the following:

         Merger-related compensation and severance                   $22,050,000
         Professional services                                         9,200,000
         Systems and facilities conversion and other expenses          7,045,000

(vi)     The funds for the 25% cash portion was or will be obtained from the
         Company's normal cash flows.

(vii)    The Company reissued common stock through its treasury account with an
