                RELIANCE BANCORP, INC. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND
                          FISCAL YEAR END 1997 RESULTS

Garden City, New York, July 24, 1997

Reliance  Bancorp,  Inc.  (NASDAQ/NMS:RELY),  the holding  company for  Reliance
Federal Savings Bank,  today reported net income of $4.3 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997,  an increase of $738,000,  or 20.5%,  from $3.6 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  On a fully  diluted per share basis,  earnings
rose 20.0% to $0.48 from $0.40 for the quarter  ended June 30,  1996.  Return on
average  tangible  equity  increased 15.3% to 15.49% from 13.44% for the quarter
ended June 30,  1996.  Net income  for the fiscal  year ended June 30,  1997 was
$10.9  million,  or $1.21 per fully diluted  common share,  as compared to $11.7
million, or $1.31 per fully diluted common share, for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1996. Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 reflects a one-time
charge to income of $8.25 million for the Company's share of recapitalizing  the
Savings  Association  Insurance Fund ("SAIF").  Excluding the impact of the SAIF
charge,  the  Company's  earnings  for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 would
have been $15.8 million,  or $1.75 per fully diluted common share as compared to
$1.31 per common  share for the fiscal  year ended June 30,  1996  reflecting  a
33.6% increase in earnings per share.

As of June 30, 1997, total assets were $2.0 billion,  deposits were $1.4 billion
and total stockholders' equity was $162.7 million. At June 30, 1997, the Company
had 8,776,337 common shares  outstanding with a tangible book value per share of
common stock of $13.35.

On June 18,  1997,  the Board of Directors  declared a regular cash  dividend of
$0.16 per common share for the quarter  ending June 30,  1997.  The dividend was
paid on July 18, 1997 to stockholders of record on July 3, 1997.

                                Cash Earnings

Cash earnings for the quarter  ended June 30, 1997 were $5.7  million,  or $0.64
per share,  which represents a cash return on average equity of 14.48%, an 18.5%
increase from 12.22% in the prior year  quarter.  For the fiscal year ended June
30, 1997,  exclusive of the SAIF charge,  cash earnings were $21.0  million,  or
$2.36 per share.  The Company's  cash earnings are  determined by adding back to
reported  earnings  the  non-cash  expenses  related to the  allocation  of ESOP
("Employee   Stock  Ownership  Plan")  stock  and  the  earned  portion  of  RRP
("Recognition  and Retention Plan") stock,  net of associated tax benefits,  and
amortization  of  excess  of  cost  over  fair  value  of  net  assets  acquired
("goodwill").

                           Continental Bank Merger

As previously  announced,  on May 5, 1997, the Company entered into a definitive
agreement pursuant to which Reliance will acquire Continental,  a $177.0 million
commercial  bank  based  in  Garden  City,  New  York.  Upon  completion  of the
acquisition,   Continental  will  merge  into  Reliance  Federal  Savings  Bank,
Reliance's  wholly  owned  thrift  subsidiary.   The  transaction  received  the
unanimous  approval of the Boards of  Directors  of Reliance  Bancorp,  Inc. and
Continental  Bank.  The  acquisition  is expected to be  completed in the fourth
quarter  of  calendar  year  1997,  and  is  subject  to  the  approval  of  the
stockholders of Continental Bank and regulatory authorities.

                            Quarterly Results

Reliance Bancorp, Inc. reported net income of $4.3 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997,  which  represents  an  annualized  return on average  assets and
average tangible equity of 0.90% and 15.49%,  respectively.  Net interest income
increased to $15.6  million for the quarter  ended June 30, 1997, an increase of
$807,000,  or 5.5%,  from $14.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The
increase  in net  interest  income  was  attributable  to the  growth in average
interest-earning assets to $1.8 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 from
$1.7  billion  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1996.  The  growth in  average
interest-earning  assets  was  from  increased  investments  in  mortgage-backed
securities and increased  originations of  multi-family  loans. As a result of a
flattening  of  the  yield  curve  and  increased   costs  of   interest-bearing
liabilities, the Bank's net interest spread declined from 3.31% to 3.13% and its
net interest margin declined from 3.52% to 3.40%. For the quarter ended June 30,
1997,  the  yield  on  interest-earning   assets  was  7.52%  and  the  cost  of
interest-bearing   liabilities  was  4.39%  as  compared  to  7.41%  and  4.10%,
respectively for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

Non-interest  expense totalled $8.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997,
a $315,000  decrease  from the $8.8 million  recorded in the prior year quarter.
The decrease in non-interest expense is primarily due to lower deposit insurance
premiums and real estate owned expenses offset by higher  compensation and other
expenses.  The operating  expense to average  assets ratio improved to 1.58% for
the quarter  ended June 30, 1997 from 1.77% in the prior year  quarter.  For the
quarter ended June 30, 1997, compensation and benefits expense increased to $4.2
million,  an increase of  $125,000,  or 3.1%,  from $4.0 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996. The increase in compensation and benefits expense is mainly
due to increased  costs of the ESOP benefit plan. For the quarter ended June 30,
1997,  ESOP and RRP expenses were $716,000,  an increase of $191,000,  or 36.4%,
from $525,000 recorded in the prior year quarter.  Excluding expenses related to
these benefit plans,  the cash operating  expenses to average assets improved to
1.43% for the quarter  ended June 30, 1997 from 1.65% in the prior year quarter.
Federal deposit insurance premiums decreased  $550,000,  or 71.3%, from $771,000
recorded for the quarter  ended June 30, 1996 to $221,000 for the quarter  ended
June 30, 1997 due to the reduction in SAIF premiums.  Other  operating  expenses
increased $148,000 or 11.3%, from $1.3 million during the quarter ended June 30,
1996 to $1.5  million for the quarter  ended June 30, 1997 as a result of higher
professional fees.

For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, real estate owned expenses were $48,000,  a
decrease of $101,000,  or 67.8%,  from $149,000 in the prior year  quarter.  The
decrease  relates to the reduction of expenses on several REO  properties  which
were sold during the  quarter as well as no  provision  for REO losses.  For the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Bank  established a provision for REO losses of
$50,000.

                           Fiscal Year Ended Results


Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 was $10.9 million as compared
to net  income  of $11.7  million  for the  fiscal  year  ended  June 30,  1996.
Excluding the effect of the SAIF charge, the annualized return on average assets
and average tangible equity would have been 0.84% and 14.56%, respectively.  Net
interest  income  increased to $61.6  million for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1997, an increase of $14.2 million,  or 30.1%, from $47.4 million for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1996. The increase in net interest  income was  attributable
to the growth in average  interest-earning assets to $1.8 billion for the fiscal
year ended June 30,  1997 from $1.3  billion  for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1996. The growth in  interest-earning  assets was primarily from assets acquired
in the Sunrise Bancorp, Inc. acquisition, increased purchases of mortgage-backed
securities and increased  originations of multi-family  loans. During the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1997,  the Bank improved its net interest  spread from 3.17%
to  3.22%   primarily   due  to  the  upward   repricing  of   adjustable   rate
mortgage-backed securities. However, the net interest margin declined from 3.52%
for the year ended June 30, 1996 to 3.47% primarily due to increased  leveraging
of the Bank's  capital.  For the fiscal year ended June 30,  1997,  the yield on
interest-earning  assets was 7.51%and the cost of  interest-bearing  liabilities
was 4.29% as compared to 7.45% and 4.28%, respectively for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1996.

Non-interest  income  increased  $302,000,  or 9.7%,  from $3.1  million for the
fiscal year ended June 30,  1996 to $3.4  million for the fiscal year ended June
30,  1997 due to  increased  deposit  fee  income  offset  by lower net gains on
securities.

Non-interest  expense  totalled $43.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1997 as compared to $28.1  million for the fiscal year ended June 30,  1996,  an
increase of $14.9 million,  or 53.1%.  Included in non-interest  expense for the
fiscal  year ended June 30, 1997 is the  special  SAIF charge of $8.25  million.
Excluding the SAIF charge,  non-interest  expense  increased  $6.7  million,  or
23.7%. This increase is mainly the result of banking office personnel,  goodwill
amortization and other occupancy costs associated with the Sunrise Bancorp, Inc.
acquisition.  Due to the increased asset base and the  operational  efficiencies
realized from the  acquisition,  the operating  expense to average  assets ratio
improved  from  1.81% for the fiscal  year ended June 30,  1996 to 1.66% for the
fiscal  year  ended June 30,  1997.  For the  fiscal  year ended June 30,  1997,
compensation  and benefits  expense  increased $3.1 million,  or 23.2%, to $16.5
million from $13.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. The increase
in  compensation  and benefits  expense is due to the addition of banking office
personnel from the Sunrise Bancorp,  Inc.  acquisition,  higher benefit expenses
and normal salary adjustments. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, ESOP and
RRP  expense  was $2.5  million as  compared  to $2.0  million in the prior year
period, an increase of $486,000,  or 23.9%.  Excluding expenses related to these
benefit plans,  the cash operating  expenses to average assets improved to 1.52%
for the fiscal  year ended  June 30,  1997 from 1.67% in the prior year  period.
Occupancy and equipment  expense  increased  $1.2 million,  or 27.6%,  from $4.5
million for the fiscal  year ended June 30, 1996 to $5.7  million for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1997 due to costs  associated  with the  operation of eleven
new banking  offices as well as  miscellaneous  data processing  costs.  Federal
deposit  insurance  premiums  decreased  $586,000,  or 24.4%,  from $2.4 million
recorded  for the year ended June 30,  1996 to $1.8  million  for the year ended
June 30, 1997 due to the reduction in SAIF premiums.  Other  operating  expenses
increased  $1.6 million,  or 38.6%,  from $4.2 million for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1996 to $5.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997  primarily
as a result of general  expenses  related to the  addition of eleven new banking
offices.

For the  fiscal  year ended June 30,  1997,  real  estate  owned  expenses  were
$383,000,  a decrease of  $196,000,  or 33.9%,  from  $579,000 in the prior year
period. The decrease  primarily relates to a lower provision  established during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. During the fiscal year ended June 30,

                                 Page 3 of 7

<PAGE>



1997, the Bank established a provision for REO losses of $200,000 as compared to
$375,000 in the prior year period.


                            Financial Condition

As of June 30, 1997, total assets were $2.0 billion,  deposits were $1.4 billion
and  total  stockholders'   equity  was  $162.7  million.   The  mortgage-backed
securities  portfolio increased $104.9 million, or 13.5%, from $776.2 million at
June 30, 1996 to $881.2 million at June 30, 1997 with the increase primarily due
to  increased   purchases  of   adjustable-rate   and  longer  term   fixed-rate
mortgage-backed securities and private label collateralized mortgage obligations
offset by amortization and  prepayments.  Mortgage loans increased $84.6 million
from $691.0  million at June 30, 1996 to $775.6  million at June 30,  1997.  The
increase in mortgage  loans is  primarily  due to  increased  multi-family  loan
originations  offset by amortizations.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997,
the Bank originated $115.9 million of multi-family loans.

Funding for the purchases of mortgage-backed  securities and loans was through a
combination of new deposit growth, borrowings and cash flows. Deposits increased
$90.4 million, or 6.7% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 as a result of
growth in new certificate of deposit products.  Borrowings increased from $266.2
million at June 30,  1996 to $352.0  million at June 30,  1997,  an  increase of
$85.8  million,  or 32.2%.  The Bank continues to use borrowings to leverage its
capital  and fund  asset  growth.  Excess of cost over fair  value of net assets
acquired  decreased  $4.0  million  during the fiscal  year ended June 30,  1997
primarily  due to $3.4 million of  amortization  and  approximately  $562,000 of
acquisition   related  tax  benefits   currently  realized  and  not  previously
recognized.

Non-performing assets

Non-performing loans totalled $14.7 million, or 1.61% of total loans at June 30,
1997,  as compared to $13.0  million,  or 1.58% of total loans at June 30, 1996.
Non-performing  loans at June 30, 1997 were  comprised of $11.1 million of loans
secured by one- to four-family residences,  $277,000 of guaranteed student loans
and $3.3 million of commercial real estate loans. For the quarter ended June 30,
1997,  the Company  experienced  net  recoveries of $3,000.  For the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1997, the Company  experienced net charge-offs of $263,000.  As a
result of a decrease  in REO and an  increased  asset base,  the  non-performing
assets to total  assets  ratio  improved to 0.77% at June 30, 1997 from 0.82% at
June 30, 1996.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997,  the Company's  loan loss provision was
$950,000  as  compared  to  $725,000  in the prior year  period.  The  Company's
allowance  for loan  losses  totalled  $5.2  million  at June 30,  1997 and $4.5
million at June 30, 1996 which  represents a ratio of allowance  for loan losses
to  non-performing  loans and to total  loans of 35.18% and 0.57% and 34.63% and
0.55%,  respectively.  The Company  continues to increase its loan loss reserves
after  analyzing  non-performing  loans as well as the need to increase  general
valuation   allowances  on  commercial  real  estate  and  multi-family   loans.
Management  believes the  allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1997 is adequate
and  sufficient  reserves  are  presently  maintained  to  cover  losses  on any
non-performing loans.

Reliance  Bancorp,  Inc. and Reliance Federal Savings Bank are  headquartered in
Garden City, New York.  Reliance  Federal  Savings Bank now serves its customers
from 28 banking offices  located in the New York counties of Queens,  Nassau and
Suffolk.
