- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and Summary of Operations as of and for the month ended October 31, 1998
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) For the month ended October 31, 1998, the Company recorded an additional
provision for loan losses of $5.6 million, which represents additional
reserves required to conform Long Island Bancorp, Inc.("LIB") previous
accounting practices to the policies of the Company.
(2) Included in total non-interest expense for the month ended October 31, 1998
is approximately $125 million of merger costs and restructuring charges as
a result of the acquisition of LIB following the close of business on
September 30, 1998. Such charges included severance and other employee
related costs, facility and system costs associated with the elimination of
duplicate facilities, the write-off of certain property and equipment,
cancellation of certain contractual obligations and other direct expenses
associated with the acquisition. In addition, the estimated cost saves
anticipated to be recognized by December 31, 1998 have not been fully
implemented and, therefore, not realized by the Company during the month
ended October 31, 1998.
(3) As part of its asset/liability management process, the Company continually
analyzes its cost of funds and its liability structure. As a result of such
analysis following the acquisition of LIB, the Company decided to
restructure approximately $1.5 billion of its borrowings during the fourth
quarter by replacing certain short term borrowings with longer term
borrowings. To date the Company has restructured approximately $950 million
of such borrowings. The weighted average maturity of such borrowings has
been extended by approximately 3.2 years and the weighted average call or
maturity date by approximately 2.0 years. The weighted average cost of such
borrowings has been reduced by approximately 95 basis points. The Company
will incur an after tax extraordinary charge of approximately $7.0 million
related to the restructuring completed to date in the month ended November
30, 1998.
