Atlantic Liberty Financial Corp.
Reports First Quarter Earnings and increases quarterly dividend

BROOKLYN, NY Atlantic Liberty Financial Corp, (Nasdaq: ALFC), the
holding company of Atlantic Liberty Savings, F.A. announced an increase
of 9.6% in net income to $444,000 or $0.28 per share ($0.27 fully
diluted) for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $405,000 or
$0.26 (basic and fully diluted) for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

In addition, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash
dividend to $0.08 per share from $0.07 to be paid on August 12, 2005 to
shareholders of record on August 1, 2005.

The increase in earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was
primarily due to an increase of $54,000 in net interest income and a
decrease of $78,000 in non-interest expense, partially offset by a
decrease of $55,000 in non-interest income and an increase of $38,000
in income tax expense. The increase in net interest income for the
quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to the comparable period in 2004
was attributable to a $6.2 million increase in average interest
earning assets, partially offset by a reduction in our net interest
rate spread of 5 basis points to 3.75% from 3.80%. Net interest margin
for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004
decreased 2 basis points to 4.03% from 4.05%.  Non-interest income
decreased $55,000 due principally to decreases of $29,000 in loan
prepayment  penalties and other miscellaneous mortgage fees, $9,000 in
savings and checking account fees, $13,000 in net appraisal fees and
$4,000 in other miscellaneous income. The decrease of $78,000 in non-
interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 resulted primarily
from decreases of $108,000 in legal fees and $5,000 in salaries and
employee benefits, partially offset by increases of $20,000 in
directors' compensation, $2,000 in net occupancy expense, $2,000 in
equipment expense, $8,000 in advertising expense, and $3,000 in
miscellaneous expense.  There were no provisions for loan losses during
the three-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. During the
quarter ended June 30, 2005, we recorded a $12,000 recovery of a
previously charged-off loan.  The allowance for loan losses was
$749,000 or 0.60% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2005 as compared
with $611,000 or 0.52% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2004. The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was
880.18% at June 30, 2005 and 651.5% at June 30, 2004. Non-performing
loans represented 0.07% of total loans at June 30, 2005 and
0.08% of total loans at June 30, 2004.

The Company's assets  totaled $183.9 million at both June 30, 2005 and
March 31, 2005. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, net loans
receivable increased $4.3 million or 3.6% to $124.4 million from $120.1
million. The increase resulted principally from new multi-family
mortgages of $3.7 million, $1.5 million of which were purchased from
other financial institutions, as well as new originations of one-to-
four family mortgage loans of $3.4 million. During the quarter ended
June 30, 2005 mortgage-backed securities held to maturity decreased
$2.5 million or 6.0% to $39.5 million from $42.0 million at March 31,
2005. Securities available for sale decreased $1.0 million or 34.5%
during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 to $1.9 million from $2.9
million at March 31, 2005 and investment securities held to maturity
decreased $2.0 million or 50% to $2.0 million from $4.0 million. Cash
and cash equivalents increased $1.2 million or 18.8% to $7.6 million at
June 30, 2005 from $6.4 million at March 31, 2005.

Total deposits at June 30, 2005 were $108.5 million a decrease of
$600,000 or 0.6% from $109.1 million at March 31, 2005. Advances from
the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York decreased $500,000 or 1.2% to
42.9 million at June 30, 2005 from 43.4 million at March 31, 2005.
Stockholders equity increased $500,000 or 1.8% to $28.3 million at June
30, 2005 from $27.8 million at March 31, 2005 primarily the result of
including net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
