GreenPoint Financial Reports Record Earnings

New York, July 10--GreenPoint Financial Corp. (NYSE-GPT) today announced 
record net income of $0.54 per diluted share, or $39.4 million, for the 
second quarter ended June 30, 1998. The per share earnings represent an 
increase of 20% over core net income for the second quarter of 1997 and an 
increase of 4% over the core net income for the first quarter of 1998. Core 
net income for the six months ended June 30 was $78.2 million, or $1.06 per 
share.

Core cash earnings per share for the second quarter were $0.78, up 20% over the
second quarter of 1997, and 3% over the first quarter. Core cash earnings are
net of non-recurring items and non-cash charges which do not impact the 
Company's tangible capital. Core cash return on average equity increased to
18.30% for the second quarter of 1998, compared to 15.13% for the second quarter
of 1997 and 17.36% for the first quarter of 1998.

"We have achieved yet another quarter of record core cash earnings per
share," said Thomas S. Johnson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our 
pricing discipline allows us to maintain our margins; our commitment to 
strict underwriting standards allows us to maintain loan quality; and tight 
expense control keeps costs in line with growth.

"During the second quarter, the level of mortgage originations improved over the
first quarter, but was slightly less than the same period a year ago. We 
continue to believe that there is strong demand for our True No-Doc product, 
and that volume will rise over time as our national origination network 
matures."

Mortgage Originations

Originations for the second quarter were $700 million, down 2% from the second
quarter of 1997, but up 21% from the first quarter. Net loan portfolio growth
for the quarter was $101 million. The percentage of new loans originated outside
of New York was 60%, and ARMs as a percentage of total loans were 24%.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income was $118.9 million. Net interest margin for the quarter was
3.95%, up 2 basis points over the first quarter.

Asset Quality

Asset quality continued to improve during the second quarter. Non-performing
loans as a percent of total loans declined to 3.39% at June 30 from 4.35% at
June 30, 1997 and from 3.77% at March 31, 1998. Total non-performing loans
declined to $310 million at the end of the second quarter of 1998 from $360
million at the end of the year ago quarter, and from $341 million at the end of
the first quarter of 1998.

Non-Interest Expense

Expense control continues to be effective. The efficiency ratio was 41.9%.
Operating expense as a percent of average assets was 1.70% for the quarter.

Total non-interest expense for the quarter was 1.9% lower than the second
quarter of 1997 (excluding a restructuring charge), and 1.2% lower than the
first quarter (excluding an $8.3 million non-recurring charge).

Manufactured Housing Finance Acquisition

As announced on April 13, GreenPoint has signed a definitive agreement to
purchase BankAmerica Housing Services (BAHS), a division of Bank of America, FSB
for a cash premium of $603 million.

and a servicing portfolio of $10.6 billion. BAHS has 1,500 employees, a national

in 48 states.

The acquisition is expected to close during the third quarter, and is expected
to be accretive to cash earnings in 1999.

On June 10, GreenPoint filed a registration statement with the Securities 
and Exchange Commission relating to the offering of 15 million shares of

TABLE 3--CORE CASH EARNINGS

GreenPoint's operating results include significant amortization of goodwill 
and employee stock compensation plans expense. These non-cash items, unlike 
all other expenses reported by the Company, do not decrease tangible capital 
and result in increased related cash earnings. Additional cash earnings are 
available to support growth of earning assets, increases in cash dividends, 
and additional repurchases of the Company's stock.
