MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL Haven Bancorp, Inc. ("Haven Bancorp" or the "Company") is the Holding Company for CFS Bank ("CFS" or the "Bank"), a federally chartered stock savings bank. The Company is headquartered in Westbury, New York and its principal business currently consists of the operation of its wholly owned subsidiary, CFS Bank. The Bank's principal business has been and continues to be attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations primarily in one- to four-family, owner occupied residential mortgage loans. In addition, the Bank will invest in debt, equity and mortgage-backed securities to supplement its lending portfolio. The Bank also invests, to a lesser extent, in multi- family residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate loans and other marketable securities. The Bank's results of operations are dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on its loan and securities portfolios and its cost of funds, which consist of the interest paid on its deposits and borrowed funds. The Bank's net income also is affected by its non-interest income, its provision for loan losses and its operating expenses consisting primarily of compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, real estate operations, net, federal deposit insurance premiums and other general and administrative expenses. The earnings of the Bank are significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and to a lesser extent by government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. FINANCIAL CONDITION The Company had total assets of $2.97 billion at December 31, 1999, compared to $2.40 billion at December 31, 1998, an increase of $570.3 million, or 23.8%. The Company's portfolio of debt and equity securities and mortgage-backed securities ("MBSs") available for sale ("AFS") totaled $937.3 million, an increase of $48.0 million, or 5.4% at December 31, 1999, compared to $889.3 million at December 31, 1998. At December 31, 1999, $184.5 million of the AFS securities portfolio were adjustable-rate securities and $752.8 million were fixed-rate securities. The growth in the AFS portfolio in 1999 was primarily due to securities purchased with the investment of deposit flows during the year not utilized for portfolio loan originations. During 1999, the Company purchased $452.1 million of debt and equity securities and MBSs for its AFS portfolio, of which $103.5 million were adjustable-rate and $348.6 million were fixed-rate. Principal repayments, calls and proceeds from sales of AFS securities totaled $363.6 million. Loans receivable, net, increased by $493.4 million, or 38.1% during 1999 to $1.79 billion at December 31, 1999, from $1.30 billion at December 31, 1998. Loan originations and purchases during 1999 totaled $1.38 billion (comprised of $1.20 billion of residential one- to four-family mortgage loans, $158.7 million of commercial and multi-family real estate loans, $11.2 million of construction loans and $8.9 million of consumer loans). Commercial and multi-family real estate loan originations were $158.7 million in 1999, a slight increase over 1998 originations of $156.8 million. Total loans increased substantially while the Company continued towards its objective to invest in adjustable- rate loans. At December 31, 1999, total loans were comprised of $1.16 billion adjustable-rate loans and $646.2 million fixed-rate loans. During 1999, principal repayments and satisfactions totaled $259.1 million and $0.6 million was transferred to real estate owned ("REO"). Loans held for sale increased by $28.5 million, or 52.6% from $54.2 million at December 31, 1998, to $82.7 million at December 31, 1999. Loans originated for sale in 1999 totaled $634.8 million. During 1999, $561.7 million loans were sold to investors on a servicing released basis, and $44.6 million in loans previously originated for sale were transferred to the Bank's portfolio. Deposits totaled $2.08 billion at December 31, 1999, an increase of $357.9 million, or 20.8% from $1.72 billion at December 31, 1998. Interest credited totaled $71.4 million in addition to deposit growth of $286.5 million. As of December 31, 1999, the Bank had sixty-three in-store branches with total deposits of $842.3 million compared to fifty-seven locations with deposits totaling $504.0 million at December 31, 1998. Total in-store deposits increased $338.4 million, or 67.1% from December 31, 1998, to December 31, 1999. The in-store branches are located in the New York City boroughs of Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island, the New York State counties of Nassau, Suffolk, Rockland and Westchester, and in Connecticut and New Jersey. Core deposits, which includes savings, money market, NOW, and demand accounts, equaled 46.7% of total in-store branch deposits, compared to 44.1% in traditional branches. Overall, core deposits represented 45.4% of total deposits at December 31, 1999, compared to 47.7% at December 31, 1998. Borrowed funds increased 70.1% to $749.2 million at December 31, 1999, from $440.3 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in borrowed funds were utilized primarily to fund real estate loan originations. During 1999, the Company issued $25.3 million of capital securities through Haven Capital Trust II. Additionally, during 1999, the Bank completed a leverage program requiring additional borrowings to fund purchases for the AFS portfolio to offset the additional interest expense resulting from the capital securities. In addition, at December 31, 1998, the Company had $97.5 million in securities purchased, net of securities sold, against commitments to brokers which was reflected as due to broker in the statement of financial condition, with the related securities included in securities AFS. These transactions settled in January 1999, and the Company utilized borrowed funds to repay the obligations to brokers. Including the effect of these transactions, borrowed funds and due to broker increased by $211.4 million, or 39.3%, from December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999. Stockholders' equity totaled $105.6 million, or 3.6% of total assets at December 31, 1999, a decrease of $14.3 million, or 11.9% from $119.9 million, or 5.0% of total assets at December 31, 1998. The decrease is the result of the unrealized depreciation in the value of securities AFS, net of tax, of $26.4 million, primarily as a result of the increase in market interest rates, as well as dividends declared of $2.6 million. These were partially offset by net income of $12.6 million, an increase of $1.5 million related to the allocation of the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") stock, amortization of awards of shares of common stock by the Bank's Recognition and Retention Plans and Trusts ("RRPs") and amortization of deferred compensation plan benefits and $0.6 million related to stock options exercised, and related tax effect. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT As a financial institution, the Company's primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Bank's assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets, other than those which possess a short term to maturity. Since virtually all of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities and interest- earning assets are held by the Bank, virtually all of the Company's interest-rate risk exposure lies at the Bank level. As a result, all significant interest rate risk management procedures are performed at the Bank level. Based upon the Bank's nature of operations, the Bank is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. The Bank's real estate loan portfolio, concentrated primarily within the New York metropolitan area, is subject to risks associated with the local economy. The Bank does not own any trading assets. The Bank's interest rate management strategy is designed to stabilize net interest income and preserve capital over a broad range of interest rate movements. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap". An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the same period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the same period. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing exceeds the amount of interest- earning assets maturing or repricing within the same period. Accordingly, in a rising interest rate environment, an institution with a positive gap would be in a better position to invest in higher yielding assets which would result in the yield on its assets increasing at a pace closer to the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities, than would be the case if it had a negative gap. During a period of falling interest rates, an institution with a positive gap would tend to have its assets repricing at a faster rate than one with a negative gap, which would tend to restrain the growth of its net interest income. The Company closely monitors its interest rate risk as such risk relates to its operational strategies. The Company's Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO"), responsible for reviewing its asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position, which generally meets weekly and reports to the Board on interest rate risk and trends on a quarterly basis. The following table ("gap table") sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 1999, which are anticipated by the Company, based upon certain assumptions described below, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. Adjustable-rate assets and liabilities are included in the table in the period in which their interest rates can next be adjusted. For purposes of this table, prepayment assumptions for fixed interest-rate assets are based upon industry standards as well as the Company's historical experience and estimates. The computation of the estimated one-year gap assumes that the interest rate on savings account deposits is variable and, therefore, interest sensitive. During the rising interest rate environment throughout 1999, these funds were maintained at an average rate of 3.14%. The Company has assumed that its savings, NOW and money market accounts, which totaled $833.4 million at December 31, 1999, are withdrawn at the annual percentages of approximately 8%, 4% and 1%, respectively.

(1) For purposes of the gap analysis, mortgage and other loans are reduced for non-accural loans but are not reduced for the allowance for loan losses. (2) For purposes of the gap analysis, premiums, unearned discount and deferred fees are pro-rated. At December 31, 1999, the Company's total interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year exceeded its total interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within the same time period by $8.3 million, representing a one year negative cumulative gap ratio of 0.28%. In order to reduce its sensitivity to interest rate risk, the Company's current strategy includes emphasizing the origination or purchase for portfolio of adjustable-rate loans, debt securities and MBSs and maintaining an AFS securities portfolio. During 1999, the Company purchased $54.4 million of adjustable- rate MBSs which are expected to help protect net interest margins during periods of rising interest rates. In 1999, the Company originated or purchased $613.5 million of adjustable-rate mortgage loans for portfolio. Historically, the Company has been able to maintain a substantial level of core deposits which the Company believes helps to limit interest rate risk by providing a relatively stable, low cost long-term funding base. At December 31, 1999, core deposits represented 45.4% of deposits compared to 47.7% of deposits at December 31, 1998. Core deposits included $223.7 million and $158.8 million of "liquid asset" account balances at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This account was introduced in the second quarter of 1998 and currently pays an initial rate of 4.25% for balances over $2,500. The Company expects to attract a higher percentage of core deposits from its in-store branch locations as these locations continue to grow and mature. The Company is also attempting to continue attracting long-term certificate accounts. During 1999, the Company replaced $114.0 million of short-term borrowed funds with ten-year, fixed-rate borrowed funds, which can be called after three or five years of the borrowing date. The Company intends to continue this strategy in 2000. The Company's interest rate sensitivity is also monitored by management through the use of a model which internally generates estimates of the change in net portfolio value ("NPV") over a range of interest rate change scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off- balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio, under any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") also produces a similar analysis using its own model, based upon data submitted on the Bank's quarterly Thrift Financial Reports, the results of which may vary from the Company's internal model primarily due to differences in assumptions utilized between the Company's internal model and the OTS model, including estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates. For purposes of the NPV table, prepayment rates similar to those used in the gap table were used. At December 31, 1999, the Company was operating within its Board approved interest rate risk guidelines, as established by its ALCO. The following table sets forth the Company's NPV as of December 31, 1999.

(1) Based on the portfolio value of the Company's assets in the base case scenario. As in the case with the gap table, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV require the making of certain assumptions which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the NPV model presented assumes that the composition of the Company's interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV measurements provide an indication of the Company's interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Company's net portfolio value and will differ from actual results. ANALYSIS OF CORE EARNINGS The Company's profitability is primarily dependent upon net interest income, which represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is dependent on the average balances and rates received on interest-earning assets, and the average balances and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net income is further affected by non-interest income, non- interest expense, the provision for loan losses, and income taxes. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's average consolidated statements of financial condition and consolidated statements of income for the three years ended December 31, 1999, and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The average balance of loans includes loans on which the Company has discontinued accruing interest. The yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998 GENERAL The Company reported net income of $12.6 million, or $1.44 per basic common share for 1999, compared to $8.2 million or $0.95 per basic common share for 1998. The $4.4 million increase in net income was attributable to a $13.0 million increase in net interest income before the provision for loan losses and a $8.5 million increase in non-interest income. These increases were substantially offset by increases of $12.2 million in non- interest expense and $1.0 million in the provision for loan losses. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income for 1999 increased by $13.0 million, or 22.5%, to $71.0 million, from $57.9 million for 1998. Interest income increased $32.2 million, or 21.2%, from $151.7 million in 1998 to $183.9 million in 1999. The increase in interest income was attributable to the $522.6 million, or 25.1%, increase in the average outstanding balance of interest-earning assets from $2.08 billion in 1998 to $2.61 billion in 1999. The average yield on interest-earning assets declined by 22 basis points from 7.28% in 1998 to 7.06% in 1999. The decline in the overall yield on interest-earning assets is primarily the result of the decline in market interest rates during 1998 and early 1999 which caused an increase in prepayments of loans and MBSs. These funds were reinvested primarily in lower yielding loans and securities. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities also declined by 23 basis points from 4.61% in 1998 to 4.38% in 1999. The net interest rate spread remained virtually flat at 2.68%, while the net interest margin declined by 6 basis points to 2.72%. The increase in interest income was primarily the result of the increase in interest income from mortgage loans, which increased by $20.3 million, or 21.1%, from $96.1 million in 1998 to $116.4 million in 1999. The average outstanding balance of mortgage loans increased by $321.8 million, or 25.4%, to $1.59 billion. Mortgage loan originations and purchases in 1999 were $1.38 billion. These were partially offset by sales of loans in the secondary market of $561.7 million and principal repayments of $259.1 million. The growth in the average balance was partially offset by a 27 basis point decrease in the average yield on mortgage loans from 7.60% in 1998 to 7.33% in 1999. Interest income from MBSs increased by $8.8 million, or 21.0%, from $42.0 million in 1998 to $50.9 million in 1999. The increase was attributable to a $153.0 million increase in the average balance of MBSs, partially offset by an 18 basis point decline in the average yield. Interest income from debt and equity securities increased by $3.4 million, or 34.4%, from $10.0 million in 1998 to $13.5 million in 1999. The average balance of debt and equity securities increased by $45.9 million, while the average yield increased by 21 basis points. During 1999, the Bank purchased $452.1 million of securities. These purchases were substantially offset by sales and redemptions of securities of $363.6 million. The growth in interest-earning assets was primarily funded by growth in interest-bearing liabilities consisting of deposits and borrowed funds. Interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds increased by $19.1 million, or 20.4% from $93.8 million in 1998 to $112.9 million in 1999. The average outstanding balance of deposits and borrowed funds was $2.58 billion in 1999, a $542.9 million, or 26.7% increase over 1998. Interest expense on savings accounts increased by $7.3 million, or 58.4%, from $12.4 million in 1998 to $19.7 million in 1999. The average outstanding balance of savings accounts increased by $184.7 million, or 41.8%. The average cost also increased by 33 basis points to 3.14%. The increase in the average cost is due in part to the "Liquid Asset" account which pays a 4.25% for the first year on account balances of $2,500 or more. At December 31, 1999, the balance of these accounts was $223.7 million, an increase of $64.9 million over the prior year. Interest expense on certificate accounts increased by $2.3 million, or 4.6%, to $52.3 million in 1999, from $50.0 million in 1998. This was partially offset by a 39 basis point decline in the average yield on certificate accounts. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased by $9.5 million, or 33.8%, from $28.0 million in 1998 to $37.5 million in 1999. The average outstanding balance of borrowed funds increased by $196.7 million, or 41.8%, in 1999. The increase includes the issuance of $25.3 million in capital securities in June 1999. The capital securities provided the Bank with leverage to borrow an additional $80 million to purchase securities for the AFS portfolio. The remaining increase in the average outstanding balance was utilized to supplement the increase in deposit accounts to fund mortgage loan originations and purchases of securities AFS. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses for 1999 was $3.6 million compared to $2.7 million for 1998. The provision for loan losses is established based on management's periodic review of the loan portfolio and the related allowance for loan losses. The increase in the provision for loan losses in 1999 was primarily due to the overall growth in the Bank's loan portfolio. At December 31, 1999, the allowance for loan losses was $16.7 million, or 0.92% of total loans, and 216.56% of non-performing loans. At December 31, 1998, the allowance for loan losses was $14.0 million, or 1.07% of total loans, and 166.70% of non- performing loans. NON-INTEREST INCOME Excluding net gains on sales of interest-earning assets, non- interest income increased by $10.7 million, or 46.7%, from $22.9 million in 1998 to $33.6 million in 1999. Savings and checking fees increased by $5.9 million, or 60.3%, to $15.7 million in 1999. Insurance, annuity, and mutual fund fees increased by $2.4 million, or 40.6%, to $8.3 million in 1999. The increases in these fees was due primarily to the continued growth and maturity of the Bank's in-store banking program. During 1999, the Bank opened six in-store branches and increased in-store branch deposits by $338.4 million, or 67.1%, to $842.3 million at December 31, 1999, from $504.0 million at December 31, 1998. Approximately $1.2 million of the growth in insurance, annuity and mutual fund fees was the result of the operations of CFS Insurance Agency ("CIA"), a subsidiary of Haven Bancorp, which was acquired on November 1, 1998, and operated for a full twelve months in 1999. Loan fees and servicing income increased by $1.1 million in 1999 to $2.7 million, compared to $1.6 million in 1998. The increase was due to a one-time $1.0 million commercial real estate loan fee received in the fourth quarter of 1999. This fee was received by the Bank in exchange for releasing the borrower from the equity sharing provision of the loan, and for waiving the pre- payment penalty provision for the term of the loan. Mortgage banking income was $3.7 million in 1999, a $734,000 increase over 1998, which reflected only eight months of operations following the May 1, 1998, acquisition of the residential mortgage production franchise of Intercounty Mortgage, Inc. ("IMI", now known as CFS Mortgage). Mortgage banking income represents fee income recognized on loans sold in the secondary market, including servicing-released premiums, less the direct costs associated with the acquisition and sale of these loans. Residential mortgage loans sold servicing released was $561.7 million in 1999 compared to $515.8 million in 1998. Other income, consisting primarily of retail banking related fees, increased $542,000, or 20.9% in 1999. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense increased by $12.2 million, or 17.4%, from $70.0 million in 1998 to $82.2 million in 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to compensation and benefit expenses, which increased by $7.8 million, or 21.0%, from $36.9 million in 1998 to $44.7 million in 1999. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $2.0 million, or 18.0%, to $13.0 million in 1999 from $11.0 million in 1998. Federal deposit insurance premiums increased by $195,000, or 22.4%, due to the growth in deposits. Data processing expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 26.0%, to $3.4 million in 1999 from $2.7 million in 1998, due primarily to the continued growth of the in-store banking program. Other expenses totaling $20.3 million in 1999, experienced a net increase of $1.8 million, or 9.8%, from $18.5 million in 1998. Other expenses consist primarily of costs associated with telephone, stationary, postage and delivery, consulting, amortization of goodwill and other general and administrative expenses. The increases in these expenses were primarily due to the continued growth of the in-store banking program, including the addition of six new branches, and a full year of operations of CIA and CFS Mortgage. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense was $6.9 million in 1999, compared to $2.9 million in 1998. The effective tax rate in 1999 was 35.2% compared to 26.4% in 1998. The 1998 tax rate reflects an adjustment to the Bank's tax accrual on filing the Company's federal, New York state and New York city tax returns for 1997 in September of 1998. In general, the Company's state and local tax liability is limited to taxes based on its asset size. RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume), and (iii) the net change. The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997 GENERAL The Company reported net income of $8.2 million, or $0.95 per basic share for 1998 compared to net income of $11.1 million, or $1.32 per basic share for 1997. The $2.9 million decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to an increase of $31.5 million in non-interest expense and an increase of $19.4 million in interest expense. These factors were substantially offset by interest income which increased by $25.4 million and non-interest income which increased by $19.2 million, combined with decreases of $3.2 million in income tax expense and $85,000 in the provision for loan losses. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income increased by $6.0 million, or 11.6% to $57.9 million in 1998 from $51.9 million in 1997. Interest income increased by $25.4 million, or 20.1% to $151.7 million in 1998 from $126.3 million in 1997. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to a $388.9 million increase in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by an 18 basis point decrease in the overall average yield on interest-earning assets from 7.46% in 1997 to 7.28% in 1998. The decrease was due to the overall decline in market interest rates. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 4 basis points to 4.61% in 1998 from 4.57% in 1997, primarily due to a shift to certificate accounts and the introduction of the Liquid Asset savings account in 1998. Interest income on mortgage loans increased by $20.9 million, or 27.7% to $96.1 million in 1998 from $75.3 million in 1997 primarily as a result of an increase in the average mortgage loan balance of $309.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on mortgage loans of 27 basis points. During 1998, the Bank originated or purchased $635.1 million of mortgage loans for portfolio. The decline in the average rate was primarily due to decreases in the rate indices used for residential and commercial real estate loans and the increasing percentage of relatively lower yielding residential mortgages. These indices, which are the 30 year treasury bond and the 5 year treasury note, declined 83 and 116 basis points, respectively, during 1998. In addition, loan principal repayments and satisfactions during 1998 totaled $265.7 million in 1998 compared to $151.2 million in 1997. Also during 1998, the Bank sold approximately $104.7 million in loans previously held in portfolio, including $83.3 million of adjustable-rate mortgage loans in several bulk sale transactions, and $14.0 million of cooperative apartment loans, and securitized $105.7 million of one- to four-family mortgage loans with Fannie Mae. Interest income on MBSs was $42.0 million for 1998, an increase of $9.3 million, or 28.3% over the $32.8 million earned in 1997. This reflects a $146.0 million increase in the average balance of MBSs for 1998 to $628.6 million from $482.5 for 1997, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on the MBS portfolio of 10 basis points to 6.69% for 1998 from 6.79% in 1997. During 1998, the Company purchased $687.9 million of MBSs for its AFS portfolio which were partially offset by sales totaling $357.3 million and principal repayments of $199.6 million. Also during 1998, the Bank securitized $105.7 million in residential real estate loans and retained the underlying securities in its AFS portfolio. Interest income on debt and equity securities decreased by $4.7 million, or 32.0% to $10.0 million in 1998 from $14.7 million in 1997, primarily as a result of a decrease in the average balance of $64.7 million, coupled with a decrease in the average yield of 20 basis points. The decrease in the average balance of debt and equity securities during 1998 is due primarily to sales of $97.7 million, partially offset by purchases of $36.1 million. Interest expense increased by $19.4 million, or 26.0% to $93.8 million in 1998 from $74.4 million in 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in interest on deposits of $14.2 million, or 27.5% to $65.8 million in 1998 from $51.6 million in 1997. The increase in interest on deposits was due to an increase of $326.5 million, or 26.3% in average deposits to $1.57 billion in 1998 from $1.24 billion in 1997, coupled with a 4 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased by $5.2 million, or 22.8% during 1998, due to an increase of $81.4 million in the average balance, coupled with a 9 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowed funds. The increase in the average balance of deposits is primarily attributable to the Bank's continuing expansion of the in-store banking program. As of December 31, 1998, the Bank had fifty- seven in-store branches with deposits totaling $504.0 million, as compared to thirty-two branches with deposits totaling $157.2 million as of December 31, 1997. Interest expense on certificate accounts increased by $10.7 million, or 27.1% from 1997 to 1998. The in-store banking expansion contributed to the increase in the average balance of certificate accounts of $200.4 million, or 29.5%, partially offset by an 11 basis point decrease in the average cost of certificate accounts. Interest expense on savings accounts increased by $3.1 million, or 33.0%, from 1997 to 1998. This increase was also due to the in-store banking expansion, as well as the introduction of a "Liquid Asset" account in the in-store branches during the second quarter of 1998. As of December 31, 1998, the balance of these accounts was $158.8 million. This account currently pays 4.25% for the first year on account balances of $2,500 or more. Overall, the average balance of savings accounts experienced a net increase of $69.9 million, or 18.8%, coupled with a 30 basis point increase in the average cost, which is attributable to the aforementioned Liquid Asset account. Interest expense on NOW accounts and money market accounts increased by $234,000 and $218,000, respectively, in 1998 over 1997, primarily as a result of the increase in the average balance of such accounts. The average yield paid on money market accounts increased by 17 basis points to 3.54% for 1998, primarily as a result of a shift in the average balance of such deposits from traditional branches to the in-store locations, which paid comparatively higher money market rates. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased by $5.2 million, or 22.8%, primarily as a result of the increase in the average balance of borrowed funds of $81.4 million, or 20.9%, coupled with a 9 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowed funds from 5.86% in 1997 to 5.95% in 1998. The increase in the average balance of borrowed funds is due primarily to fund the increase in residential loan originations and purchases by CFS Mortgage, the Bank's residential lending division, as well as to fund purchases of securities for the Company's AFS portfolio. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The Bank provided $2.7 million for loan losses in 1998, which was virtually flat as compared to 1997. The provision for loan losses reflects management's periodic review and evaluation of the loan portfolio. Non-performing loans continued to decline to $8.4 million at December 31, 1998, from $12.5 million at December 31, 1997. As of December 31, 1998, the allowance for loan losses was $14.0 million compared to $12.5 million at December 31, 1997. As of December 31, 1998, the allowance for loan losses was 1.07% of total loans compared to 1.09% of total loans at December 31, 1997. The slight decrease was attributable to the substantial growth in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses was 166.70% of non-performing loans at December 31, 1998, compared to 99.97% at December 31, 1997. The increase is the result of the significant decline in non-performing loans from December 31, 1997 to December 31, 1998. NON-INTEREST INCOME Non-interest income increased by $11.9 million, or 85.8%, from $13.9 million in 1997 to $25.8 million in 1998. Savings and checking fees were $9.8 million in 1998, a $4.3 million, or 79.3% increase over 1997. In 1998, the Bank recognized $3.0 million in mortgage banking income related to loans sold servicing released in the secondary market. Net gains on sales of interest-earning assets were $2.9 million in 1998. In 1997, the Company reported a net loss on such sales of $5,000. Insurance, annuity and mutual fund fees generated in 1998 were $5.9 million, a $2.1 million, or 56.3% increase over the $3.8 million earned in 1997. Other non- interest income increased by $1.0 million, or 65.2%, to $2.6 million in 1998, from $1.6 million in 1997, primarily as a result of the Bank's in-store banking expansion. On May 1, 1998, the Bank completed the purchase of the loan production franchise of IMI. In 1998, the Bank originated $1.04 billion in residential mortgage loans, $570.0 million of which were originated for sale in the secondary market. During 1998, the Bank sold $515.8 million to investors in the secondary market on a servicing-released basis, and recognized $3.0 million. Mortgage banking income represents fee income recognized on the sale of loans sold in the secondary market, including servicing- released premiums, less the direct costs associated with the acquisition and sale of those loans. The increase in savings and checking fees and fees generated from the sale of insurance, annuities, and mutual funds were primarily a result of the Bank's in-store banking expansion. During 1998, the Bank opened twenty-five in-store branches, contributing to the increase in in-store deposits of $346.8 million, or 220.6% from December 31, 1997, to December 31, 1998. During 1998, the Company sold $453.7 million in securities AFS, resulting in net gains of $1.2 million. During the third quarter of 1998, the Bank sold $14.0 million of cooperative apartment loans in a bulk transaction as part of its ongoing effort to divest itself of this portion of the portfolio, resulting in a $1.0 million gain. During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Bank realized $0.7 million in gains on bulk sales of adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans previously held in portfolio. The loans were sold in response to the high level of prepayments experienced with these loans. Other non-interest income, which consists substantially of fees associated with retail banking, increased primarily as a result of the Bank's in-store branch expansion. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense increased by $24.2 million, or 52.7%, from $45.8 million in 1997 to $70.0 million in 1998. Compensation and benefits expense increased by $12.7 million, or 52.3%, from $24.3 million in 1997 to $36.9 million in 1998. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $4.7 million, or 73.7% from $6.3 million in 1997 to $11.0 million in 1998. The increases in compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, and advertising and promotion expenses were due primarily to the Bank's in-store banking expansion, as well as the expansion of the Bank's residential lending function with the acquisition of the loan production franchise of IMI. During 1998, the Bank opened twenty-five new in-store branches, while the acquisition of the loan production franchise of IMI added 6 primary loan origination offices and several smaller satellite offices to the Company's facilities. Occupancy and equipment expense also increased as a result of the purchase of the Company's new headquarters, which was completed in the third quarter of 1998. Federal deposit insurance premiums increased by $134,000, or 18.2%, from $736,000 in 1997 to $870,000 in 1998, due to the increase in insurable deposits as a result of the in-store banking expansion. Data processing expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 112%, to $2.7 million in 1998 from $1.3 million in 1997, due to the in-store banking expansion and the increase in the number of transactions processed. Other non-interest expenses increased by $5.6 million, or 43.3%, from $13.0 million in 1997 to $18.5 million in 1998 primarily as a result of the in-store banking expansion. Advertising and promotion expense increased by $1.1 million, or 64.7% from $1.7 million in 1997 to $2.8 million in 1998. Other items that contributed to the increase in other non-interest expense were telephone expenses, which increased by $925,000, stationary, printing, and office supply expenses, which increased by $570,000, and ATM transaction expenses, which increased by $540,000. These increases were directly related to the in-store banking expansion and the increase in the Bank's residential lending operations. Amortization of goodwill increased by $710,000, primarily as a result of the acquisition of IMI. The balance of the increase in other non-interest expenses were generally related to the Bank's in-store branch expansion and the expansion of the residential lending operations as a result of the acquisition of IMI. These increases were partially offset by a $1.2 million reduction in non-performing loan expense due to the recapture of reserves established for the bulk sales on REO and non-performing loans in 1994. The increase in non-interest expense was partially offset by a $344,000 decrease in REO operations, net. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense was $2.9 million in 1998, compared to $6.1 million in 1997. The effective tax rate for 1998 was 26.4% compared to 35.6% in 1997. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the establishment of Columbia Preferred Capital Corp. ("CPCC"), the Bank's real estate investment trust ("REIT") subsidiary, during the second quarter of 1997. The tax provision for 1998 includes the effect of CPCC's operations for the full year of 1998 compared to one quarter in 1997. The lower tax rate was also due to an adjustment of the Bank's tax accrual upon the filing of the Company's federal, New York State and New York City tax returns for 1997 during September 1998, as well as a state tax credit recognized for mortgage recording taxes paid on loans originated in certain counties of New York State. NON-PERFORMING ASSETS The following table sets forth information regarding non- performing assets which include all non-accrual loans (which consist of loans 90 days or more past due and restructured loans that have not yet performed in accordance with their modified terms for the required six-month seasoning period), accruing restructured loans and real estate owned. December 31, (In thousands) 1999 1998 1997 Non-accrual loans: One- to four-family $3,663 3,779 3,534 Cooperative 206 367 698 Multi-family 1,139 308 2,531 Non-residential and other 1,986 2,074 3,633 Total non-accrual loans 6,994 6,528 10,396 Restructured loans: One- to four-family 314 544 679 Cooperative 178 183 290 Multi-family 225 1,130 1,167 Total restructured loans 717 1,857 2,136 Total non-performing loans 7,711 8,385 12,532 REO, net: One- to four-family 268 66 126 Cooperative 56 38 295 Non-residential and other - 121 121 Total REO 324 225 542 Less allowance for REO - (25) (87) REO, net 324 200 455 Total non-performing assets $8,035 8,585 12,987 The Company's expanded loan workout/resolution efforts have successfully contributed toward reducing non-performing assets to manageable levels. Since year-end 1997, non-performing assets have declined by $5.0 million, or 38.1%, from a level of $13.0 million to $8.0 million at year-end 1999. The decrease in non- performing assets is reflected in the following ratios: the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans ratio was 0.42% for 1999 compared to 0.64% for 1998 and 1.09% for 1997; the ratio of non- performing assets to total assets was 0.27% for 1999 compared to 0.36% for 1998 and 0.66% for 1997; and the ratio of non- performing loans to total assets was 0.26% for 1999 compared to 0.35% for 1998 and 0.63% for 1997. There can be no assurance that non-performing assets will continue to decline. The decrease in non-performing assets in 1999 was primarily due to the continued decline in restructured loans. Since year-end 1997, restructured loans have declined by $1.4 million, or 66.4% from a level of $2.1 million to $0.7 million at year-end 1999. Total non-accrual loans increased by $0.5 million during 1999. The decrease in non-performing assets in 1998 was primarily due to the continued decline in non-performing loans and sales of REO properties. During 1998, the Company sold 21 REO properties with a fair value of $0.7 million. Total non-performing loans decreased by $4.1 million during 1998. LIQUIDITY The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by the OTS regulations. This requirement, which may be varied by the OTS depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of withdrawable deposits and short-term borrowings. The required ratio is currently 4%. The Bank's ratio was 4.31% at December 31, 1999, compared to 4.24% at December 31, 1998. The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, debt securities and MBSs, retained earnings and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB") and other borrowings. Proceeds from the sale of AFS securities and loans held for sale are also a source of funding, as are, to a lesser extent, the sales of annuities, insurance products and securities brokerage activities conducted by the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, CFS Investments, Inc. and the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, CIA. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are somewhat predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, competition and regulatory changes. The Company's most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company's operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, cash and short-term investments totaled $42.7 million and $44.8 million, respectively. The Company and the Bank have other sources of liquidity which include debt securities maturing within one year and AFS securities. Other sources of funds include FHLB advances, which at December 31, 1999, totaled $537.0 million. If needed, the Bank may borrow an additional $13.5 million from the FHLB. The Company's cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities; investing activities and financing activities. Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, consisting primarily of interest and dividends received less interest paid on deposits was ($74.8 million), $16.2 million and $24.6 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, consisting primarily of disbursements of loan originations and securities purchases, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from maturities of securities held to maturity or sales of AFS securities, and disposition of assets including REO was $592.2 million, $340.7 million and $385.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of net activity in deposits and borrowings, purchases of treasury stock, payments of common stock dividends and proceeds from stock options exercised was $664.9 million, $329.0 milliion and $365.7 million, respectively.

INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time and changes due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Bank's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Bank are monetary. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Bank's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services. COMPUTER ISSUES FOR THE YEAR 2000 The Company has not experienced any significant disruptions in its financial or operating activities caused by year 2000 related failure of computerized systems of the Company or it's service organizations. The Company does not expect year 2000 issues to have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial results in 2000. IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS See Note 1 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. STOCK DATA Haven common stock, listed under the symbol HAVN is publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting and reporting policies of Haven Bancorp, Inc. ("the Holding Company") and CFS Bank ("the Bank") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the "Company") conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices within the banking industry. The following summarizes the significant policies and practices: PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Holding Company and its subsidiary, the Bank, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of each consolidated statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the year then ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassification adjustments have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and money market investments. Money market investments represent instruments with maturities of ninety days or less. These investments are carried at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts which are recognized in interest income over the period to maturity. DEBT, EQUITY AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES Debt and mortgage-backed securities ("MBSs") which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on a level yield method over the remaining period to contractual maturity, adjusted, in the case of MBSs, for actual prepayments. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company did not have any securities classified as held to maturity. Debt and equity securities and MBSs to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity are classified as available for sale ("AFS") securities and are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains (losses), net of tax, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders' equity. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method and are included in non-interest income. LOANS RECEIVABLE AND LOANS HELD FOR SALE Loans receivable are carried at their unpaid principal balances, less unearned discounts and net deferred loan origination fees. Loans held for sale are carried at the aggregate lower of cost or market value. Loan origination fees, less certain direct loan origination costs, are deferred and amortized as an adjustment of the loan's yield over the life of the loan by the interest method. When loans are sold, any remaining unaccreted net deferred fees (costs) are recognized as income at the time of sale. Purchased loans are recorded at cost. Related premiums or discounts are amortized (accreted) to interest income using the level-yield method over the estimated life of the loans. The Company recognizes servicing assets on loans that have been originated or purchased, and where the loans are subsequently sold or securitized with the servicing rights retained. The total cost of the mortgage loans is allocated between the loans and the servicing assets based on their relative fair values. The Company assesses servicing assets for impairment based on the current fair values of those assets with any impairment recognized through a valuation allowance. Fees earned for servicing loans for others are reported as income when the related mortgage loan payments are collected. Servicing assets are amortized as a reduction to loan servicing fee income using the interest method over the estimated remaining life of the underlying mortgage loans. MORTGAGE BANKING INCOME The company sells loans on a servicing released basis to investors in the secondary market. Generally, the sales of such loans are arranged at the time of application through assignments of trade or best effort commitments. Mortgage banking income represents fee income, including servicing released premiums, recognized on loans sold to investors, less the direct costs associated with the acquisition and sale of those loans. Mortgage banking income is recognized at the settlement date when cash is received from the investor. NON-ACCRUAL AND RESTRUCTURED LOANS Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, there is doubt as to the collectibility of interest or principal, or when principal and interest are past due 90 days or more, the loan is not well secured and in the process of collection. Interest and fees previously accrued, but not collected, are reversed and charged against interest income at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans are recorded as reductions of principal if, in management's judgement, principal repayment is doubtful. Loans may be reinstated to an accrual or performing status if future payments of principal and interest are reasonably assured and the loan has a demonstrated period of performance. Loans are classified as restructured loans when the Company has granted, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial condition, concessions to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Generally, this occurs when the cash flows of the borrower are insufficient to service the loan under its original terms. Restructured loans are reported as such in the year of restructuring. In subsequent reporting periods, if the loan yields a market rate of interest, is performing in accordance with the restructure terms, and management expects such performance to continue, the loan is then removed from restructured status. The Company reviews commercial and multi-family mortgage loans, and loans modified in a troubled-debt restructuring for impairment. Specific factors utilized in the impaired loan identification process include, but are not limited to, delinquency status, loan-to-value ratio, the condition of the underlying collateral, credit history, and debt coverage. At a minimum, such loans are classified as impaired when they become 90 days past due. The Company generally measures impaired loans based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The amount by which the recorded investment of an impaired loan exceeds the measurement value is recognized by creating a valuation allowance through a charge to the provision for loan losses. The Company's impaired loan identification and measurement process is conducted in conjunction with the Company's review of the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is estimated based on a periodic analysis of the loan portfolio in accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," and SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and reflects an amount which, in management's judgement, is adequate to provide for losses inherent to the loan portfolio. In evaluating the portfolio, management takes into consideration numerous factors, such as present risks inherent in the loan portfolio, loan growth, prior loss experience, current economic conditions and periodic examinations conducted by regulatory agencies. While management uses available information to estimate probable loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on adverse changes in economic conditions. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Land is carried at cost. Buildings, leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Premises and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets except for leasehold improvements which are amortized over the related lease term or estimated useful life. REAL ESTATE OWNED Real estate properties acquired through loan foreclosure are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less estimated selling costs at the time of foreclosure. Subsequent valuations are periodically performed by management and the carrying value may be adjusted by a valuation allowance, established through charges to income and included in real estate operations, net to reflect subsequent declines in the estimated fair value of the real estate. Real estate owned ("REO") is shown net of the allowance. Operating results of REO, including rental income, operating expenses, and gains and losses realized from the sales of properties owned, are also recorded in real estate operations, net, as a separate component of non-interest expense. REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS Reverse repurchase agreements are accounted for as financing transactions. Accordingly, the collateral securities continue to be carried as assets and a borrowing liability is established for the transaction proceeds. INCOME TAXES The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Additionally, the recognition of net deferred tax assets is based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in the future. A valuation allowance would be provided for deferred tax assets which are determined more than likely not to be realized. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries file consolidated tax returns with the Federal, state and local authorities. Other subsidiaries file separate domestic tax returns as required. BENEFIT PLANS The Company maintains various pension, savings, employee stock ownership and other benefit plans and programs for its employees, including the Bank's Retirement Income Plan (the "Retirement Plan") covering substantially all employees who have attained minimum service requirements. The Bank's funding policy is to make contributions to the plan at least equal to the amounts required by applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Bank periodically evaluates the overall effectiveness and economic value of such programs, in the interest of maintaining a comprehensive benefit package for employees. Based on an evaluation of the Retirement Plan in 1996, the Bank concluded that future benefit accruals under the Retirement Plan would cease, or "freeze" on June 30, 1996. Although the benefit accruals are frozen, the Bank will continue to maintain and provide benefits under its Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") and Employee 401(k) Thrift Incentive Savings Plan ("401(k) Plan"). In connection with the Retirement Plan "freeze," the Bank resumed its matching of contributions to the 401(k) Plan on July 1, 1996. Post-retirement and post-employment benefits are recorded on an accrual basis with an annual provision that recognizes the expense over the service life of the employee, determined on an actuarial basis. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," permits either the recognition of compensation cost for the estimated fair value of employee stock-based compensation arrangements on the date of grant, or the continued application of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for its plans with disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of the pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share, determined as if the fair value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation cost. The Company has adopted the disclosure option. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Company's stock option plans. OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company has utilized interest rate caps to manage its interest rate risk. Generally, the net settlements on such transactions used as hedges of non-trading liabilities are accrued as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the agreements. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding does not include the weighted-average number of unallocated shares by the ESOP. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock that then shares in the earnings of the entity. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company's comprehensive income (or loss) for each period represents net income plus the net change in unrealized gains or losses on securities AFS, and is reported in the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity. SEGMENT REPORTING Operating segments are components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise's chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company currently does not manage its various business activities as separate operating segments and does not readily produce meaningful discrete financial information for any such business activity. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (that is, gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 and does not require restatement of prior periods. The implementation of SFAS No. 133 has not had a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In July 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 137 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 133 for one year, to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management of the Company currently believes the implementation of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. 2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS ACQUISITION OF INTERCOUNTY MORTGAGE, INC. On May 1, 1998, the Bank completed the purchase of the production franchise of Intercounty Mortgage, Inc. ("IMI") from Resource Bancshares Mortgage Group, Inc. The Bank paid approximately $5.6 million for IMI's production franchise and fixed assets. The business operates as a division of the Bank under the name CFS Mortgage originating and purchasing residential loans for the Bank's portfolio and for sale in the secondary market, primarily through six loan origination offices located in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Loan sales in the secondary market are primarily on a servicing-released basis, for which the Company earns servicing released premiums. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method. The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) of approximately $5.1 million is being amortized over 5 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill by determining whether the amortization of the goodwill over its remaining life can be recovered through future operating cash flow of the production franchise. The unamortized balance of goodwill relating to the acquisition of IMI was approximately $3.4 million and $4.4 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. ACQUISITION OF CENTURY INSURANCE AGENCY On November 2, 1998, the Company completed the purchase of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Century Insurance Agency, Inc. ("CIA" or "CFS Insurance Agency") for approximately $1.2 million. CIA, which is headquartered in Centereach, New York, provides automobile, homeowners and casualty insurance to individuals and various lines of commercial insurance to businesses. CIA operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method. Goodwill of approximately $1.6 million is being amortized over 10 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill by determining whether the amortization of the goodwill over its remaining life can be recovered through future operating cash flow of CIA. The unamortized balance of goodwill relating to the acquisition of CIA was approximately $1.3 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 3.

Gross gains of approximately $1.0 million, $1.7 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were realized on sales of securities available for sale. Gross losses amounted to approximately $1.0 million, $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 respectively. The Company's portfolio of MBSs available for sale has an estimated weighted average expected life of approximately 7.1 years at December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1999, $184.5 million of MBSs available for sale were adjustable-rate securities. The Company's privately-issued CMOs and REMICs have generally been underwritten by large investment banking firms with the timely payment of principal and interest on these securities supported (credit enhanced) in varying degrees by either insurance issued by a financial guarantee insurer, letters of credit or subordination techniques. Substantially all such securities are rated AAA by one or more of the nationally recognized securities rating agencies. These securities are subject to certain credit-related risks normally not associated with U.S. Government and agency MBSs. Among such risks is the limited loss protection generally provided by the various forms of credit enhancements as losses in excess of certain levels are not protected. Furthermore, the credit enhancement itself is subject to the credit worthiness of the enhancer. Thus, in the event a credit enhancer does not fulfill its obligations, the MBS holder could be subject to risk of loss similar to the purchaser of a whole loan pool. Management believes that the credit enhancements are adequate to protect the Company from losses, and therefore the Company has not provided an allowance for losses on its privately issued MBSs. U.S. Government and agency obligations at December 31, 1999, had contractual maturities between March 14, 2000 and June 25, 2024. Accrued interest receivable on securities available for sale amounted to approximately $6.9 million and $4.9 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Corporate debt securities at December 31, 1999, had contractual maturities between February 18, 2004 and May 27, 2029. On June 30, 1998, the Company transferred the then remaining $138.2 million of MBSs and $45.4 million of debt securities held to maturity to securities available for sale. In August 1998, the Company securitized $105.7 million of residential mortgage loans with Fannie Mae. The resulting MBSs were retained and are included in securities available for sale as of December 31, 1999. 4.

The principal balances of these loans at December 31 are summarized as follows: (In thousands) 1999 1998 Non-accrual loans $ 6,994 6,528 Restructured loans 717 1,857 Total $ 7,711 8,385 If interest income on non-accrual loans had been current in accordance with the original terms, approximately $468,000, $425,000 and $736,000 of interest income would have been recorded for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Approximately $144,000, $117,000 and $146,000 of interest income was recognized on non-accrual loans for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Bank has no obligation to fund any additional monies on these loans. The amount of interest income that would have been recorded if restructured loans had been performing in accordance with their original terms (prior to being restructured) was approximately $180,000, $396,000 and $197,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. On June 30, 1999, the Company sold $20.5 million of adjustable- rate mortgage ("ARM") loans previously held in portfolio in a bulk sale transaction and recognized a gain of $261,000. The Company retained the right to service the related loans and accordingly recognized a servicing asset of $231,000. In 1998, the Company sold $83.3 million of ARM loans previously held in portfolio in two separate bulk sale transactions, which settled on December 30, 1998. The Company recognized a net gain of $670,000 as a result of these transactions. The Company sold $68.6 million of the ARM loans servicing released, while $14.7 million of the ARM loans were sold servicing retained. In connection with the latter transaction, the Company recognized a servicing asset of $168,000. In 1998, the Company securitized $105.7 million of residential mortgage loans with Fannie Mae. The Company retained all of the securities in its AFS portfolio, and is servicing the underlying loans for Fannie Mae. During 1999, the Company sold a portion of these securities and recognized a servicing asset of $242,000. In 1998, the Company also sold $14.0 million of cooperative apartment loans as part of its ongoing efforts to dispose of this portion of its portfolio. The Company recognized a $968,000 gain as a result of this transaction. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the aggregate unamortized balance of the Company's servicing assets was $517,000 and $168,000, respectively. The amounts are included in other assets in the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company amortizes its servicing assets against service fee income in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Servicing assets are periodically assessed for impairment based on their fair value. Loans held for sale, which consisted of, primarily fixed-rate, one- to four-family loans, were $82.7 million and $54.2 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Bank originates most fixed-rate loans for immediate sale, primarily to private investors on a servicing released basis. During 1999 and 1998, the Company sold $561.7 million and $515.8 million, respectively, in residential mortgage loans to third party investors on a servicing-released basis. During 1999 and 1998, the Company recognized mortgage banking income of $3.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Mortgage banking income represents fee income recognized on loans sold in the secondary market, including servicing-released premiums, less the direct costs associated with the acquisition and sale of these loans. The Bank services for investors first mortgage loans which are not included in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. The unpaid principal balances of such loans were approximately $271.7 million and $269.1 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The geographical location of the Bank's loan portfolio is primarily within the New York City metropolitan area. Accrued interest receivable on loans amounted to approximately $8.9 million and $7.2 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 5. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Impaired loans and related reserves have been identified and calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 114. The total allowance for loan losses has been determined in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 5. As such, the Company has provided amounts for estimated probable losses that exceed the immediately identified losses associated with loans that have been deemed impaired. Provisions have been made and reserves established accordingly, based upon experience and expectations, for losses associated with the general population of loans, specific industry and loan types, including residential and consumer loans which are not subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 114.

The Company's average recorded investment in impaired loans for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was $8.5 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Interest income recognized on impaired loans, which was not materially different from cash- basis interest income, amounted to approximately $144,000, $117,000 and $146,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

The purchase was consummated under the terms of a lease agreement and Payment-in-lieu-of-Tax ("PILOT") agreement with the Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency ("IDA") (see note 14). The Company completed improvements to the building and began using the building as its corporate headquarters in July 1998. The cost of the land and building, including improvements was $12.8 million. The building and improvements are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over thirty-nine years. During the first quarter of 1999, the Bank sold two administrative offices, located in Woodhaven, New York, in two separate transactions. These properties, which consist of land, buildings and building improvements, had an aggregate net carrying value of approximately $2.4 million at the time of sale. The Bank leased back a portion of one of these buildings to continue its current use as a traditional retail banking branch office and for certain administrative functions. This transaction was accounted for as a sale-leaseback, and the lease is being accounted for as an operating lease. The gain resulting from the sale-leaseback transaction was deferred and is being accreted over the term of the lease as a reduction to the related operating lease expense. Depreciation and amortization of premises and equipment, included in occupancy and equipment expense, was approximately $4.8 million, $3.1 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 7.

At December 31, 1999 and 1998, advances from the FHLB of New York were also collateralized by U.S. Government and agency obligations with an estimated fair value of approximately $61.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 1999, the Bank has unused lines of credit totalling $13.5 million with the FHLB of New York. At December 31, 1999, all securities sold under agreements to repurchase were delivered to primary dealers who arranged the transactions.

The average interest rate paid during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 were 5.39% and 5.71%, respectively. MBSs with an estimated fair value of approximately $132.4 million and $100.0 million were pledged as collateral at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. In addition, corporate bonds with an estimated fair value of approximately $44.8 million were pledged as collateral at December 31, 1999. On February 12, 1997, Haven Capital Trust I, a trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware ("Trust I"), issued $25 million of 10.46% capital securities. The Holding Company is the owner of all the beneficial interests represented by common securities of Trust I. Trust I exists for the sole purpose of issuing Trust I securities (comprised of the capital securities and the common securities) and investing the proceeds thereof in the 10.46% junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures issued by the Holding Company on February 12, 1997, which are scheduled to mature on February 1, 2027. Interest on the capital securities is payable in semi-annual installments, commencing on August 2, 1997. Trust I securities are subject to mandatory redemption (i) in whole, but not in part upon repayment in full, at the stated maturity of the junior subordinated debentures at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of, plus accrued interest on, the junior subordinated debentures, (ii) in whole but not in part, at any time prior to February 1, 2007, contemporaneously with the occurrence and continuation of a special event, defined as a tax event or regulatory capital event, at a special event redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the junior subordinated debentures or the sum of the present values of the principal amount and premium payable with respect to an optional redemption of the junior subordinated debentures on the initial optional repayment date to and including the initial optional prepayment date, discounted to the prepayment date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (iii) in whole or in part, on or after February 1, 2007, contemporaneously with the optional prepayment by the Holding Company of the junior subordinated debentures at a redemption price equal to the optional prepayment price. Subject to prior regulatory approval, if required, the junior subordinated debentures are redeemable during the 12-month periods beginning on or after February 1, 2007, at 105.23% of the principal amounts outstanding, declining ratably each year thereafter to 100%, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption. Deferred issuance costs are being amortized over ten years. On May 26, 1999, Haven Capital Trust II, a Delaware business trust ("Trust II"), completed the offering of $22.0 million of 10.25% capital securities. On June 18, 1999, an additional $3.3 million of capital securities were issued in connection with the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters. The Holding Company is the owner of all of the beneficial interests represented by the common securities of Trust II. Trust II exists for the sole purpose of issuing the Trust II securities (comprised of the capital securities and the common securities) and investing the proceeds thereof in the 10.25% junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, issued by the Holding Company pursuant to an indenture, which are scheduled to mature on September 30, 2029. The capital securities have a mandatory redemption provision which is triggered by optional prepayment of the junior subordinated debentures. The Chase Manhattan Bank is the Property Trustee of TrustII. During the second quarter, $21.5 million of the proceeds from the sale of capital securities was contributed to the Bank to support the Bank's in-store banking expansion. The remainder of the proceeds was used for general corporate purposes. 10. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAXES FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax return on a calendar-year basis. Prior to January 1, 1997 thrift institutions such as the Bank which met certain definitional tests primarily relating to their assets and the nature of their business, were permitted to establish a tax reserve for bad debts. Such thrift institutions were also permitted to make annual additions to the reserve, to be deducted in arriving at their taxable income within specified limitations. The Bank's deduction was computed using an amount based on the Bank's actual loss experience ("experience method"), or a percentage equal to 8% of the Bank's taxable income ("PTI method"). Similar deductions for additions to the Bank's bad debt reserve were also permitted under the New York State Bank Franchise Tax and the New York City Banking Corporation Tax; however, for purposes of these taxes, the effective allowable percentage under the PTI method was 32% rather than 8%. Under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 ("1996 Act"), signed into law in August 1996, Section 593 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"), the Bank is unable to make additions to the tax bad debt reserves but is permitted to deduct bad debts as they occur. Additionally, the 1996 Act requires institutions to recapture (that is, include in taxable income), over a six-year period, the excess of the balance of its bad debt reserves as of December 31, 1995 over the balance of such reserves as of December 31, 1987 ("base year"). The Bank's federal tax bad debt reserves at December 31, 1995 exceeded its base year reserves by $2.7 million. This recapture was frozen for 1996 and 1997, whereas, two-sixths of the excess reserves were recaptured into taxable income during the two-year period ended December 31, 1999. The remaining balance at December 31, 1999, to be recaptured into taxable income was $1.8 million. The base year reserves will be subject to recapture, and the Bank could be required to recognize a tax liability, if (i) the Bank fails to qualify as a "bank" for Federal income tax purposes; (ii) certain distributions are made with respect to the stock of the Bank; (iii) the Bank uses the bad debt reserves for any purpose other than to absorb bad debt losses; and (iv) there is a change in Federal tax law. Management is not aware of the occurrence of any such event. In response to the Federal legislation, the New York State and New York City tax law has been amended to prevent the recapture of existing tax bad debt reserves and to allow for the continued use of the PTI method to determine the bad debt deduction in computing New York State and New York City tax liability. The components of the net deferred tax assets at December 31, are as follows: (In thousands) 1999 1998 Deferred tax assets: Difference between financial statement credit loss provision and tax bad-debt deduction $ 7,054 5,952 Non-accrual interest and non-performing loan expense 891 762 Securities marked to market for financial statement purposes 13,712 - Other 3,022 2,128 Total deferred tax assets 24,679 8,842 Deferred tax liabilities: Recapture of Tax Bad Debt Reserve (625) (781) Securities marked to market for financial statement purposes - (580) Basis difference of fixed assets (60) (131) Deferred loan origination costs (5,421) (1,854) Other (71) (72) Total deferred tax liabilities (6,177) (3,418) Net deferred tax assets $ 18,502 5,424 Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, are summarized as follows: (In thousands) 1999 1998 1997 Current: Federal $ 5,157 1,486 6,433 State and local 492 301 1,245 5,649 1,787 7,678 Deferred: Federal 1,194 741 (760) State and local 20 398 (780) 1,214 1,139 (1,540) Total income tax expense $ 6,863 2,926 6,138 The following is a reconciliation of statutory Federal income tax expense to the combined effective tax expense for the years ended December 31: (In thousands) 1999 1998 1997 Statutory Federal income tax expense $ 6,815 3,877 6,027 State and local income taxes, net of Federal income tax benefit 333 455 301 Reversal of prior years taxes - (785) - Other, net (285) (621) (190) Total income tax expense $ 6,863 2,926 6,138 The Company did not have a valuation allowance for its deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1999 and 1998. The Company will continue to review the recognition criteria as set forth in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," on a quarterly basis and determine the need for a valuation allowance accordingly. STATE AND LOCAL TAXES The Company and subsidiaries file combined New York State franchise tax and New York City financial corporation tax returns on a calendar-year basis. The Company's annual tax liability for each year is the greater of a tax on (i) allocated entire net income; (ii) allocated alternative entire net income; (iii) allocated assets to New York State and/or New York City; or (iv) a minimum tax. Operating losses cannot be carried back or carried forward for New York State or New York City tax purposes. The Company has provided for its 1999 New York State and New York City tax liability based on allocated assets to New York State and/or New York City. The Company has provided for New York State and New York City taxes based on entire net income for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. The Company will also file a New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut tax return for 1999 due to the operation of in-store branches in those states. 11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS RETIREMENT PLAN The Company's Retirement Plan is a qualified, non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its eligible employees. The Company's policy is to fund pension costs in accordance with the minimum funding requirements of the ERISA, and to provide the Retirement Plan with sufficient assets with which to pay pension benefits to plan participants. Based on an evaluation of the Retirement Plan in 1996, the Bank concluded that future benefit accruals under the Retirement Plan would cease or "freeze" effective June 30, 1996. The Bank recognized a curtailment gain of approximately $266,000 as of June 30, 1996. The Bank made a cash contribution of $352,000 to the Retirement Plan in 1997. There were no contributions to the Retirement Plan in 1998 or 1999. The following are disclosures related to the Retirement Plan as determined by the Retirement Plan's actuary in accordance with SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No. 132. The following is a reconciliation of the projected benefit obligation for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively: (In thousands) 1999 1998 Projected benefit obligation, beginning of year $8,758 8,519 Interest cost 596 569 Actuarial (gain) loss (695) 202 Benefits paid (523) (532) Projected benefit obligation, end of year $8,136 8,758 The following is a reconciliation of the change in fair value of Retirement Plan assets for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively: (In thousands) 1999 1998 Fair value of plan assets, beginning of year $9,515 8,819 Actual return on plan assets 1,315 1,228 Benefits paid (523) (532) Fair value of plan assets, end of year $10,307 9,515 The following is a reconciliation of the funded status of the Retirement Plan as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively: (In thousands) 1999 1998 Pension benefit obligation Accumulated benefit obligation $8,136 8,758 Additional benefits based on estimated future salary levels - - Projected benefit obligation 8,136 8,758 Fair value of plan assets 10,307 9,515 Funded status 2,171 757 Unrecognized net gain (1,439) (261) Prepaid pension cost $732 496 The following is a reconciliation of net periodic pension benefit for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997: (In thousands) 1999 1998 1997 Interest cost $596 569 557 Expected return on plan assets (832) (768) (746) Net periodic pension benefit $(236) (199) (189) Actuarial assumptions used to account for the Retirement Plan include the following: 1999 1998 1997 Discount rate 7.75% 6.75% 6.75% Expected long-term rate of return 9.00% 9.00% 9.00% Rate of increase in compensation levels NA NA NA THRIFT INCENTIVE SAVINGS PLAN The Bank's 401(k) Plan provides for employee contributions on a pre-tax basis up to a maximum of 16% of total compensation, with matching contributions to be made by the Bank, not to exceed employee contributions greater than 6% of total compensation. The Bank matched employee contributions which totaled $357,000, $234,000 and $199,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT BENEFITS In 1999, the Company entered into a Company Employment Agreement setting forth the supplemental executive retirement benefits for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Company Employment Agreement restates, modifies and supersedes the Employment Agreements, dated November 18, 1994 and September 21, 1995, the Amendatory Agreement dated May 28, 1997 and the Bank Employment Agreement, dated May 28, 1997. The Company Employment Agreement entitles the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in addition to the severance benefits contained within the agreement, to the supplemental executive retirement benefits due to him under the Retirement Plan, the 401(k) Plan, the ESOP and any other benefit plan of which he is a participant, had the federal income tax law limitations on the accrual of benefits under these plans not been applicable. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Bank accrued $190,000, $180,000 and $50,000, respectively, in supplemental executive retirement benefits. On December 31, 1999 and 1998 the accumulated supplemental executive retirement benefit obligation was $56,000 and $58,000, respectively. On December 31, 1999 and 1998 the projected supplemental executive retirement benefit obligation was $56,000 and $58,000, respectively. In 1999, the Company decided not to reinstate future benefit accruals under the Retirement Plan. As a result, the accumulated and projected supplemental executive retirement benefit obligations as of December 31, 1999, were substantially reduced. The accumulated and projected supplemental executive retirement benefit obligations as of December 31, 1998, were restated to conform with the 1999 presentation. The Bank also has a Supplemental Retirement Agreement for the former Chairman of the Board. The Supplemental Retirement Agreement is unfunded and provides for an annual retirement benefit of $120,000 for 10 years after retirement which occurred in 1995. The Supplemental Retirement Agreement also provides for a lump sum benefit of $1.2 million payable to the estate of the former Chairman of the Board in the event of his death prior to retirement, or in the event of a hostile change in control after retirement but prior to the payment of the entire benefit; any unpaid benefit shall be paid in a lump sum. The Company had accrued the entire $1.2 million liability under the unfunded plan as of December 31, 1995. POST-RETIREMENT LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS The Company provides life insurance coverage to retirees under an unfunded plan ("Post-retirement Plan"). Life insurance coverage in the first year of retirement is equal to three times annual pay at retirement, reduced by 10% (the "reduction amount"). For the next four consecutive years, life insurance coverage will be reduced each year by the reduction amount. The maximum benefit will be $50,000 on the earlier of: (a) the fifth anniversary of retirement; or (b) attaining age 70. The following are disclosures related to the Company's Post- retirement Plan as provided by the Post-retirement Plan's actuary in accordance with SFAS No.s 106 and 132. The following is a reconciliation of the accumulated post- retirement benefit obligation ("APBO") for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998: (In thousands) 1999 1998 APBO, beginning of year $ 1,445 1,268 Service cost 70 63 Interest cost 94 85 Actuarial (gain) loss (166) 38 Benefits paid (94) (9) APBO, end of year $ 1,349 1,445 The following is a reconciliation of the funded status of the Post-retirement Plan as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively: (In thousands) 1999 1998 APBO - Retirees and dependents $ 540 632 APBO - Actives fully eligible to retire 382 278 APBO - Actives not yet fully eligible to retire 427 535 Projected benefit obligation 1,349 1,445 Fair value of plan assets - - Funded status (1,349) (1,445) Unrecognized transition liability 253 278 Unrecognized net loss 367 563 Unrecognized prior service cost (68) (78) Accrued post-retirement benefit liability $(797) (682) The following is a reconciliation of net periodic post-retirement benefit cost for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997: (In thousands) 1999 1998 1997 Service cost $ 70 63 55 Interest cost 94 85 77 Amortization of transition obligation 25 25 25 Amortization of unrecognized gain or loss 30 31 28 Amortization of unrecognized prior service liability (10) (10) (4) Net periodic post-retirement cost $ 209 194 181 Actuarial assumptions used to account for the plan include the following: 1999 1998 1997 Discount rate 7.75% 6.50% 6.75% Rate of increase in compensation levels 4.50% 4.50% 4.50% 12. STOCK PLANS EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (ESOP) The Bank established for eligible employees an ESOP in connection with the Conversion. The ESOP borrowed $3.5 million from an unrelated third party lender and purchased 694,312 common shares issued in the Conversion. The Bank is expected to make scheduled cash contributions to the ESOP sufficient to service the amount borrowed over a period not to exceed 10 years. The unpaid balance of the ESOP loan is included in borrowed funds and the unamortized balance of unearned compensation is shown as unallocated common stock held by the ESOP reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity. As of December 31, 1999, total contributions to the ESOP which were used to fund principal and interest payments on the ESOP debt totaled approximately $3.4 million. On December 31, 1999, the loan had an outstanding balance of $1.2 million and an interest rate of 7.81%. The loan, as amended on December 29, 1995, is payable in thirty-two equal quarterly installments beginning December 1995 and ending September 2003. The loan bears interest at a floating rate based on the federal funds rate plus 250 basis points. Dividends declared on common stock held in a participant's ESOP account are allocated to such participant's account. Dividends declared on common stock held by the ESOP and not allocated to the account of a participant are used to repay the ESOP loan. The Company recorded $889,000, $922,000 and $1.2 million of ESOP expense, based on the fair market value of the shares allocated, for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. On December 31, 1999, there were 244,365 shares remaining for future allocation, of which 57,604 shares will be allocated for the 1999 year in the first quarter of 2000. RECOGNITION AND RETENTION PLANS The Bank has established several Recognition and Retention Plans ("RRPs") which purchased in the aggregate 297,562 shares of common stock in the Conversion. The Bank contributed $1.5 million to fund the purchase of the RRP shares. In 1995, the RRP for officers and other key employees was amended to increase the number of shares of common stock which may be granted by 19,836 shares and such shares were contributed to the RRP from treasury stock. During 1996, the remaining previously unallocated shares totaling 17,202 were awarded to directors and officers. In 1998, the RRP for directors was amended to increase the number of shares of common stock which may be granted by 9,916 shares and such shares were contributed to the RRP from treasury stock. The fair market value of these shares at the dates of the awards will be amortized as compensation expense as participants become vested. Participants generally become vested over a three or five year period beginning on the date of the award. The unamortized cost, which is comparable to deferred compensation, is reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, $92,000, $200,000 and $168,000 of expense has been recognized. STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLANS In 1993, the Holding Company adopted the Haven Bancorp, Inc. 1993 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors (the "1993 Directors Plan") and the Haven Bacorp, Inc. 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Stock Plan") of the Bank. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the stock option plans was equal to 10% of the total number of shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Bank's Conversion to the stock form of ownership. In 1995, the 1993 Stock Plan was amended to increase the number of shares for which stock options may be granted by 69,430 shares. All options awarded to employees vest over a three year period beginning one year from the date of grant. The stock options awarded to directors become excercisable one year from the date of grant. The option exercise price cannot be less than the fair market value of the underlying common stock as of the date of the option grant, and the maximum option term cannot exceed ten years from the date of grant. In 1998, the 1993 Directors Plan was amended to increase the number of shares for which stock options may be granted by 29,754 shares. None of these shares have been granted as of December 31, 1999. In 1996, the Holding Company adopted the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan which provided 420,000 shares for the grant of options and restricted stock awards. In 1998, effective upon shareholder approval, the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan was amended to increase the number of shares for which options and restricted stock awards may be granted by 41,998 shares. During 1998 and 1997, respectively, an aggregate of 14,384 and 8,988 shares of restricted stock were granted to directors, officers and employees. No shares of restricted stock were granted in 1999. Shares of restricted stock granted to directors vest six months from the date of grant. Shares granted to officers and employees vest over a three year period beginning one year from the date of grant. All shares were recorded as unearned compensation at their fair market value on the date of the award (which is reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity), to be amortized to expense over the vesting period. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, an aggregate of 206,500, 134,200 and 34,100 options, respectively, were granted to directors and officers under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, which vest over a three year period beginning one year from the date of grant. During 1999, an aggregate of 42,903 shares of restricted stock were granted to directors, officers and employees. The following table summarizes certain information regarding the stock option plans:

The fair value of each share grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively: dividend yield of 2.14% in 1999 and 1998 and 1.45% in 1997; expected volatility rates of 42.17% to 43.51% in 1999, 28.05% to 39.24% in 1998, and 26.95% in 1997; risk-free interest rates of 6.29% in 1999, 4.59% in 1998 and 5.68% to 5.81% in 1997; and expected lives of 3 years for the 1993 Stock Plan, 8 years for the 1993 Directors Plan, 3 years for grants to officers and employees under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan and 8 years for grants to directors under that plan. Had compensation cost for the Company's three stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and net income per common share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the years ended December 31: (In thousands, except per share data) 1999 1998 1997 Net income: As reported $ 12,607 8,150 11,083 Pro forma 12,095 7,560 10,557 Net income per common share: Basic As reported $ 1.44 0.95 1.32 Pro forma 1.38 0.88 1.25 Diluted As reported $ 1.38 0.89 1.24 Pro forma 1.32 0.83 1.18 13.

COMMITMENTS and CONTINGENCIES LEASE COMMITMENTS At December 31, 1999, the Company was obligated under several noncancelable operating leases on property used for office space and banking purposes. Several of the leases contain escalation clauses which provide for increased rentals, primarily based upon increases in real estate taxes. Rent expense under these leases was approximately $5.2 million, $4.2 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The projected minimum rental payments under the terms of the noncancelable leases at December 31, 1999 are as follows: Years ending December 31, (In thousands) 2000 $ 5,130 2001 4,704 2002 3,569 2003 2,092 2004 1,516 Thereafter 12,772 $ 29,783 Sixty-three in-store branches have opened through December 31, 1999, and the leases related thereto are reflected in the table above. Under the IDA and PILOT agreements discussed in note 6, the Bank assigned the building and land at its Westbury headquarters to the IDA, is subleasing it for $1 per year for a 10 year period and will repurchase the building for $1 upon expiration of the lease term in exchange for IDA financial assistance. LOAN COMMITMENTS The Company had outstanding commitments totaling $258.4 million to originate loans at December 31, 1999, of which $112.0 million were fixed-rate loans and $146.4 million were variable rate loans. For fixed-rate loan commitments at December 31, 1999, the interest rates on mortgage loans ranged from 4.00% to 12.75%. The standard commitment term for these loans is 45 days. Loan commitments are made at current rates and no material difference exists between book and market values of such commitments. For commitments to originate loans, the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Those commitments represent ultimate exposure to credit risk only to the extent that they are subsequently drawn upon by customers. The Company uses the same credit policies and underwriting standards in making loan commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. For loan commitments, the Company would generally be exposed to interest rate risk from the time a commitment is issued with a defined contractual interest rate. The Company delivers, primarily fixed-rate, one- to four-family mortgage loans to investors in the secondary market under "best efforts" commitments. Loans to be sold are generally committed at the time the borrower's mortgage interest rate is "locked-in". At December 31, 1999, the Company had $109.3 million of "locked- in" fixed rate one- to four-family mortgage loans. The best efforts commitment term is generally 70 days from the "lock-in" date. In connection with the securitization and sale of $48.6 million of cooperative apartment loans in 1994, a letter of credit totaling $6.8 million was established with the FHLB. The letter of credit provides a level of protection of approximately 14% to the buyer against losses on the cooperative apartment loans sold behind a pool insurance policy the Bank purchased which provides a level of protection of approximately 20%. The letter of credit totalled $6.8 million at December 31, 1999. LITIGATION AND LOSS CONTINGENCY In February, 1983, a burglary of the contents of safe deposit boxes occurred at a branch office of the Bank. At December 31, 1999, the Bank has a class action lawsuit related thereto pending, whereby the plaintiffs are seeking recovery of approximately $12.9 million in actual damages and an additional $12.9 million of unspecified damages. The Bank's ultimate liability, if any, which might arise from the disposition of these claims cannot presently be determined. Management believes it has meritorious defenses against these actions and has and will continue to defend its position. Accordingly, no provision for any liability that may result upon adjudication has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, which in the aggregate, are believed by management to be immaterial to the financial position of the Company. 15. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY At the time of its conversion to a stock savings bank, the Bank established a liquidation account in an amount equal to its total retained earnings as of June 30, 1993. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank, after the conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder's interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held. The balance of the liquidation account was approximately $13.0 million at December 31, 1999. The Bank may not declare or pay cash dividends on or repurchase any of its shares of common stock, if the effect would cause stockholders' equity to be reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account, applicable regulatory capital maintenance requirements or if such declaration and payment would otherwise violate regulatory requirements. Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations limit all capital distributions by the Bank to the Company, including dividend payments. As the subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, the Bank must file a notice with the OTS prior to making a capital distribution. In addition, if the total amount of all capital distributions for a calendar year would exceed net income for that year to date plus the retained net income for the preceding two years, then, prior to making a capital distribution, the Bank would be required to apply for the prior approval of the OTS. Unlike the Bank, the Company is not subject to these regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends to its stockholders. However, the source of future dividends may depend upon dividends from the Bank. REGULATORY CAPITAL As required by regulation of the OTS, savings institutions are required to maintain regulatory capital in the form of a "tangible capital requirement," a "core capital requirement," and a "risk- based capital requirement." The Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. As of December 31, 1999, the Bank has been categorized as "well capitalized" by the OTS under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category. The following table sets forth the required ratios and amounts, and the Bank's actual capital amounts, and ratios at December 31:
To Be Well Capitalized For Capital Under Prompt Corrective Actual Adequacy Purposes Action Provisions (Dollars in thousands) Amount Ratio(3) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio 1999 Tangible Capital $168,926 5.62% $ 60,073 2.00% N/A N/A Core Capital (1) 168,926 5.62 120,147 4.00 150,183 5.00 Risk-based Capital (2) 184,485 11.83 124,707 8.00 155,884 10.00 1998 Tangible Capital $130,597 5.43% $ 48,087 2.00% N/A N/A Core Capital (1) 130,597 5.43 96,173 4.00 $120,216 5.00% Risk-based Capital (2) 144,104 11.96 96,404 8.00 120,505 10.00
(1) Under the OTS's prompt corrective action regulations (i) the tangible capital requirement was effectively increased from 1.50% to 2.00%, because under these regulations an institution with less than 2.00% tangible capital is classified as "critically undercapitalized" and (ii) the core capital requirement was effectively increased from 3.00% to 4.00% because under these regulations an institution with less than 4.00% core capital is classified as "undercapitalized." (2) The OTS requirement that an interest rate risk component be incorporated into its existing risk-based capital standard has been indefinitely deferred by the OTS. However, the Bank does not believe that its risk-based capital requirement would be materially affected as a result of the interest rate risk component. (3) For tangible and core capital, the ratio is to adjusted total assets. For risk-based capital, the ratio is to total risk- weighted assets. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN On January 26, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Holding Company adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan (the "Rights Plan"). Under the Rights Plan, which expires in February, 2006, the Board declared a dividend of one right on each outstanding share of the Holding Company's common stock, which was paid on February 5, 1996 to stockholders of record on that date (the "Rights"). Until it is announced that a person or group has acquired 10% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Holding Company (an "Acquiring Person") or has commenced a tender offer that could result in the ownership of 10% or more of such common stock, the Rights are initially redeemable for $.01 each, are evidenced solely by the Holding Company's common stock certificates, automatically trade with the Holding Company's common stock and are not exercisable. Following any such announcement, separate Rights would be distributed, with each Right entitling its owner to purchase participating preferred stock of the Holding Company having economic and voting terms similar to those of one share of the Holding Company's common stock for an exercise price of $45. Upon announcement that any person or group has become an Acquiring Person and unless the Board acts to redeem the Rights, then twenty business days thereafter (the "Flip-in Date"), each Right (other than Rights beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person or transferee thereof, which become void) will entitle the holder to purchase, for the $45 exercise price, a number of shares of the Holding Company's common stock having a market value of $90. In addition, if after an Acquiring Person gains control of the Board, the Holding Company is involved in a merger or sells more than 50% of its assets or assets generating more than 50% of its operating income or cash flow, or has entered into an agreement to do any of the foregoing (or an Acquiring Person is to receive different treatment than all other stockholders), each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, for the $45 exercise price, a number of shares of common stock of the Acquiring Person having a market value of $90. If any person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding common stock of the Holding Company, the Board may, at its option, exchange one share of such common stock for each Right. The Rights may also be redeemed by the Board for $0.01 per Right prior to the Flip-in Date. 16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for substantially all of its financial instruments. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the asset or obligation could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market value exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are determined for on and off-balance sheet financial instruments, without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Additionally, tax consequences related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a potential effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in many of the estimates. The following table summarizes the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's on-balance sheet financial instruments at December 31:
1999 1998 Estimated Estimated Carrying Fair Carrying Fair (In thousands) Value Value Value Value Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 42,717 42,717 44,808 44,808 Securities available for sale 937,299 937,299 889,251 889,251 Loans held for sale 82,709 82,709 54,188 54,188 FHLB-NY stock 27,865 27,865 21,990 21,990 Loans receivable, net 1,790,126 1,727,837 1,296,702 1,313,057 Accrued interest receivable 15,825 15,825 12,108 12,108 Financial Liabilities: Deposits 2,080,613 2,075,948 1,722,710 1,727,676 Borrowed funds 749,232 746,259 440,346 446,813 Due to broker - - 97,458 97,458 Accrued interest payable 2,774 2,774 1,670 1,670
The methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair values for different categories of financial instruments are as follows: Cash and cash equivalents - The estimated fair values of cash and cash equivalents are assumed to equal the carrying values as these financial instruments are either due on demand or mature within 90 days. Securities available for sale - Estimated fair value for substantially all of the Company's bonds, notes and equity securities are based on market quotes as provided by an independent pricing service. For MBSs, the Company obtains bids from broker dealers to estimate fair value. For those occasional securities for which a market price cannot be obtained, market prices of comparable securities are used. Loans held for sale - The estimated fair value is based on current prices established in the secondary market. FHLB-NY stock - The estimated fair value of the Company's investment in FHLB-NY stock is deemed to be equal to its carrying value which represents the price at which it may be redeemed. Residential loans - Residential loans include one-to four-family mortgages and individual cooperative apartment loans. Estimated fair value is based on discounted cash flow analysis. The residential loan portfolio is segmented by loan type (fixed conventional, adjustable products, etc.) with weighted average coupon rate, remaining term, and other pertinent information for each segment. A discount rate is determined based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve plus a pricing spread. The discount rate for fixed rate products is based on the FNMA yield curve plus a pricing spread. Expected principal prepayments, consistent with empirical evidence and management's future expectations, are used to modify the future cash flows. For potential problem loans, the present value result is separately adjusted downward consistent with management's assumptions in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Commercial real estate and other loans - Estimated fair value is based on discounted cash flow analysis which takes into account the contractual coupon rate and maturity date of each loan. A discount rate is determined based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve, the prime rate or LIBOR plus a pricing spread, depending on the index to which the product is tied. For potential problem loans, the present value result is separately adjusted downward consistent with management's assumptions regarding the value of any collateral underlying the loans. Deposits - Certificates of deposit are valued by performing a discounted cash flow analysis of the remaining contractual maturities of outstanding certificates. The discount rates used are wholesale secondary market rates as of the valuation date. For all other deposits, fair value is deemed to be equivalent to the amount payable on demand as of the valuation date. Borrowed funds - Borrowings are fair valued based on rates available to the Company in either public or private markets for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Accrued interest receivable, accrued interest payable, and due to broker - The fair values are estimated to equal the carrying values of short-term receivables and payables, including accrued interest, mortgage escrow funds and due to broker. The estimated fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of the counterparties. Generally, for fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed interest rates. The estimated fair value of these off-balance sheet financial instruments resulted in no unrealized gain or loss at December 31, 1999 and 1998. 17.
