**WARWICK COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC.NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**1.         Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Warwick
Community Bancorp, Inc. ("Parent Company"), its savings bank subsidiary, The Warwick Savings Bank
("Warwick Savings"),  its commercial bank subsidiary, The Towne Center Bank ("Towne Center") and its
title business subsidiary,   Hardenburgh Abstract Company of Orange County, Inc. ("Hardenburgh").  The
consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company")
conform to generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices followed by the banking
industry. Warwick Commercial Bank ("Warwick Commercial") was formed in 2001, as a subsidiary of
Warwick Savings, for the purpose of accepting government deposits and whose results are included in the
consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all normal recurring
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for
the interim periods presented.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the entire year ending
December 31, 2002. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC").

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2002.

**2.         Earnings Per Share**

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period, adjusted for the unallocated portion of the shares held by the
Warwick Community Bancorp, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") in accordance with American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers Accounting
for Employee Stock Ownership Plans," and unearned shares held by the Recognition and Retention Plan of
Warwick Community Bancorp, Inc. ("RRP").  Diluted earnings per share, which reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised and resulted in the issuance of common
stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company, is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares and dilutive instruments.

**3.         Comprehensive Income**

Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes in equity during a period except those
resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.  Other comprehensive income includes
revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, are included in comprehensive income but excluded from net income.  Comprehensive income
and accumulated other comprehensive income are reported net of related income taxes.  Accumulated other
comprehensive income for the Company consists solely of unrealized holding gains or losses on available
for sale securities.

**4.         New Accounting Pronouncements**

On July 20, 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets," ("SFAS 142").  This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for
acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supercedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets".  It
addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individual or with a group of other assets should be
accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition.  SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually
in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142.  SFAS 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite
useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and
periodically reviewed for impairment.

The Company adopted provisions of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002.  At January 1, 2002, the Company had
$885,600 in recorded goodwill and $1.8 million of other intangible assets, with amortization of $227,200 per
year.  The cessation of amortization of goodwill upon the adoption of SFAS 142 had no significant impact
on reported operations for the third quarter of 2002 or year-to-date 2002 as compared to the same periods
ended September 30, 2001.  Excluding the $24,000 of goodwill amortization recorded in the quarter ended
September 30, 2001, the basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.37 and $0.36, respectively.  Year-to-date 2001basic and diluted earnings per share excluding $65,000 of year-to-date goodwill amortization were
$0.85 and $0.85, respectively.

**Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

**General**

Warwick Community Bancorp, Inc. (the "Parent  Company") is a bank holding company
incorporated in September 1997 under the laws of the State of Delaware and is registered under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHCA").  The Parent Company elected to become a financial
holding company under the BHCA in October 2000.  The primary business of the Parent Company is the
operation of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Warwick Savings, Towne Center and Hardenburgh, the Parent
Company's recently acquired title insurance agency subsidiary.  Presently, the only significant assets of the
Parent Company are the capital stock of Warwick Savings, Towne Center and Hardenburgh, the note
evidencing the loan the Parent Company made to the ESOP to allow the ESOP to purchase 8% of the Parent
Company's common stock issued in the Parent Company's initial public offering, and the investments
acquired with the net proceeds of the offering retained by the Parent Company.  While the following
discussion of financial condition and results of operations includes the collective results of the Parent
Company and its subsidiaries, this discussion reflects primarily Warwick Savings' activities.  Unless
otherwise disclosed, the information presented herein reflects the financial condition and results of

operations of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, and as used herein the term "Company" refers to the Parent Company and its subsidiaries collectively.

**Financial Condition**

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, total assets of the Company decreased $39.7
million from $806.7 million at December 31, 2001 to $767.0 million at September 30, 2002.  This decrease
in total assets was primarily attributable to a $35.3 million, or 16.8%, decrease in total securities, which
decreased from $209.6 million at December 31, 2001 to $174.3 million at September 30, 2002 and the $5.0
million decrease in Federal funds sold.  Partially offsetting these decreases was the $7.1 million, or 1.4%,
increase in total loans, which increased from $519.8 million at December 31, 2001 to $526.9 million at
September 30, 2002. The decrease in the Company's securities portfolio resulted primarily from investment
security calls, sales, maturities and amortizations due to the prevailing low interest rate environment that
continued into the third quarter of 2002.  The increase in total loans was attributable to the growth in the
commercial loan portfolio, consisting primarily of commercial real estate loans, which increased $69.1
million and was partially offset by the decrease in the residential mortgage loan and consumer loan portfolios
of $49.6 million and $12.4 million, respectively.  The increase in the commercial loan portfolio resulted
primarily from the Company's purchase of seasoned commercial real estate mortgage loans from two
separate sellers that aggregated $45.0 million and $13.9 million, respectively.  Funding for the purchases was
provided principally by the decreases in the Company's securities portfolio as well as by the decreases cited
previously in the residential mortgage loan and consumer loan portfolios as a result of the reasons cited
above.  Due to increased emphasis in commercial lending and the related increased credit risk generally
inherent in commercial loans as compared to residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, and as result
of management's assessment of the local economy and market conditions, the Company increased the
allowance for loan losses to $4.6 million at September 30, 2002 from $3.6 million at December 31, 2001.
Additionally, the  Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (" FHLBNY") repurchased $4.4 million, net, of
its capital stock from the Company which reduced the Company's investment in FHLBNY capital stock from
$16.9 million at December 31, 2001 to $12.5 million at September 30, 2002.

Deposits increased $20.7 million, or 4.9%, from $422.2 million at December 31, 2001 to $442.9
million at September 30, 2002.  This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in savings accounts
of $24.6 million,  an increase of $3.6 million in  non-interest-bearing checking accounts and an increase of
$3.0 million in  NOW and money market accounts, which were partially offset by the decrease in certificates
of deposit accounts of $10.5 million.

Borrowed funds, comprised primarily of advances from the FHLBNY, decreased $66.8 million, to
$224.0 million at September 30, 2002 from $290.8 million at December 31, 2001.  The decrease in
borrowings was funded with proceeds received from our securities and loan portfolios as set forth above, as
well as increased deposits.

Total stockholders' equity increased by $9.1 million, or 12.3%, from $74.0 million at December 31,
2001 to $83.1 million at September 30, 2002.  The increase was primarily attributable to net income of $7.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the $2.2 million increase in unrealized
appreciation of securities available for sale.  The increase in total stockholders' equity was partially offset
by the open market purchases of 52,935 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock during the first
nine months of 2002 at a total cost of $1.4 million. The increase in stockholders' equity was also partially
offset by the payment of a quarterly cash dividends to stockholders amounting to $996,000, which dividends
were declared on March 20, 2002 and July 17, 2002 and paid on April 18, 2002 and August 9, 2002.  On
October 23, 2002, the Company declared a dividend on its common stock of $.11 per share of common stock.
The dividend will be payable on November 11, 2002 to stockholders of record on November 1, 2002.

**Analysis of Net Interest Income**

Net interest income represents the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and
interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them.

*Average Balance Sheets*.  The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Company's
average statements of financial condition and its statements of income for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001, and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the
periods indicated.  Such yields and costs were derived by dividing interest income or expense by the average
balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown.  The yields include deferred fees and
discounts, which are considered yield adjustments.  Average balances were computed based on month-end
balances.  Management believes the use of average monthly balances instead of average daily balances does
not have a material effect on the information presented.

*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 Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001**

*General*.  For the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recognized net income of
$2.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share,
for the three months ended September 30, 2001, which represents a $904,000, or 53.3%, increase.  Net interest
income  increased $623,000, or 9.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2002, and  non-interest expense
decreased  $1.2 million, or 21.7% during the same period.  For the third quarter ended September 30, 2002,
annualized return on average assets ("ROAA") and annualized return on average equity ("ROAE") were 1.32%
and 12.67%, respectively.  The ROAA and ROAE for the corresponding quarter of 2001 were 0.83% and 9.05%,
respectively.

*Interest Income*.  Interest income amounted to $12.7 million for the three months ended September
30, 2002, as compared to $14.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001.  This decrease of $1.4
million, or 9.9%, was primarily the result of the $1.2 million decrease in interest earned on the Company's
residential mortgage loan portfolio and the $1.2 million decrease in interest and dividends earned on investment

securities. These decreases were partially offset by the $971,000  increase in interest earned on consumer and
commercial loans as compared to the respective amounts earned over the three-month period ended September
30, 2001.

The decrease in interest earned on the Company's residential mortgage loan portfolio resulted primarily
from the decrease in the average yield of the portfolio to 7.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2002
from 7.59% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 coupled with a $37.5 million decrease in the
average balance of residential mortgage loans for the comparable period.  The increase in interest income on
consumer and commercial loans was primarily the result of the increase in average balances of $65.2 million,
or 42.3%, and was only partially offset by a decrease in the average yield of such portfolio to 7.50% from
8.15%.

Interest and dividends earned on securities declined  from $4.0 million to $2.8 million mainly due to the
decrease in the average balances of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities, which aggregated
$199.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $250.0 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2001.  The average yield on investment securities and mortgage-backed securities
decreased to 5.51% and 5.94%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from 6.37% and
6.53%, respectively, for the comparable period in 2001.

*Interest Expense*.  Total interest expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 decreased
from $7.5 million to $5.5 million , a decrease of $2.0 million, or 26.7%, as compared to the same three-month
period one year earlier.  A $47.1 million decrease in average interest bearing liabilities coupled with  a 96 basis
point decrease in the cost of funds to 3.42% accounted for the decrease in interest expense.  The cost of funds
was influenced by a decline in rates as well as a change in the mix of deposits. Average time deposits decreased
$1.3 million, or 1.1%,  for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 while lower yielding savings and
interest bearing demand accounts increased $42.9 million,  or 18.3% during the same period.  Also contributing
to this decline was the decrease in average borrowed funds of $87.9 million, or 26.6%, coupled with  the
decrease in the average cost of borrowed funds to 5.15% as of September 30, 2002 from 5.26% at September
30, 2001.

*Net Interest Income*.  Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased
$623,000, or 9.5%, to $7.2 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001, primarily as a
result of the decline in the cost of interest bearing liabilities resulting from a decrease in rates paid on deposits
and a more favorable mix of deposits as well as the decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds.   This
increase was partially offset by the decrease in the average balance and the average yield of interest-earning
assets and the increase in the average balances of the Company's interest-bearing deposits.  Interest rate spread
increased to 3.36% from 2.91%, and the net interest margin was 3.86% and 3.41%, respectively, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

*Provision for Loan Losses*.  The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30,
2002 increased $279,000, or 109.8%, to $533,000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001.
The increase was primarily due to the increased emphasis in commercial lending and the related  increased
credit risk generally inherent in commercial loans as compared to residential mortgage loans and consumer
loans, and management's assessment of the local economy and market conditions.

*Non-Interest Income*.  Non-interest income, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and
2001 totaled $1.9 million. The increases in service fee income, gain on securities transactions and other income,
for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was offset by the decrease in the net gain on sale of loans.  The
increase in service and fee income can be attributed to the deposit and commercial loan growth, an increase in
the amount of income generated from the sales of mutual funds and tax-deferred annuities and fees associated
with the Company's debit card.

*Non-Interest Expense*.  Non-interest expense decreased by $1.2 million for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2002 as compared to September 30, 2001. Salaries and employee benefits expense
decreased $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to September 30, 2001.
This is primarily the result of the $648,000 decrease in expense related to the one-time compensation charge
associated with the retirement of the Company's former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
that was incurred during the third quarter of 2001.  Also contributing to the decrease in salaries and employee
benefits was the $403,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits associated with the elimination of
positions due to the Company's initiative to process its originated residential mortgage loans through an arrangement with an outside vendor.  Professional fees and other
expenses decreased $38,000 and $28,000, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as
compared to September 30, 2001.  Data processing expense decreased $25,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to September 30, 2001.   Advertising expense increased $51,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to September 30, 2001.

*Provision for Income Taxes*.  The $638,000 increase in the provision for income taxes to $1.6 million
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the three-month period ended September
30, 2001, was primarily attributable to the 57.3% increase in pre-tax income.

**Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001**

*General*.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recognized net income of $7.6
million, or $1.59 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $4.0 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  The increase was primarily attributable to the decreases in interest
expense and non-interest expense coupled  with  increased non-interest income.  Net interest income and non-interest income increased $3.7 million and $1.3 million, or 21.3% and 27.7%, respectively, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, while non-interest expense decreased $1.6 million, or 10.4%.  For the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, the annualized ROAA and ROAE were 1.28% and 12.80%, respectively.  The
ROAA and ROAE for the corresponding period in 2001 were 0.72% and 7.17%, respectively.

*Interest Income*.  Interest income amounted to $37.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2002, as compared to $38.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  This decrease of $544,000,
or 1.4%, was primarily the result of the $1.6 million decrease in interest earned on the Company's residential
mortgage loan portfolio and the $885,000 decrease in interest and dividends on securities, as compared to the
respective amounts earned over the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001.   Partially offsetting these
decreases was the increase of $2.0 million in interest earned on  the Company's consumer and commercial loan
portfolio.

The decrease in interest income on the Company's residential mortgage loan portfolio was attributable
to the decrease in the average yield to 7.06% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 7.57% for
the comparable period in 2001 and the decrease in the average balances of mortgage loans at September 30,
2002 to $341.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $346.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001.  The increase in interest earned on the Company's consumer and
commercial  loan portfolio resulted primarily from the increase in the average balances of those loans at
September 30, 2002 to $183.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $131.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The average yield of the portfolio declined  to 7.43%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 8.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

The decrease in interest and dividends earned on securities resulted mainly from the decrease in the
average yield on investment securities and mortgage-backed securities to 5.99% and 6.14%, respectively, for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to 6.64% and 6.64%, respectively, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001.  The increase was due primarily to excess liquid funds being invested in the
available for sale portfolio.

*Interest Expense*.  Interest expense over the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 on total
interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds decreased by $4.3 million when compared to the same nine-month
period one year earlier.  This decrease was a result of the decrease in the average cost and average balance of
certificate accounts as well as the decrease in the average cost of money market accounts which decreased to
1.91% at September 30, 2002 from 3.75% for the comparable period in 2001.   The cost of funds was influenced
by a decline in rates as well as a change in the mix of deposits.  The decline in the average balance and rate paid
on borrowed funds also contributed to the decrease in interest expense.

*Net Interest Income*.  Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased $3.7
million, or 21.3%, to $21.3 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001, primarily as a result
of the $52.0 million increase in the average balances of the Company's consumer and commercial loan portfolio
and the decrease in the Company's cost of funds from 4.57% to 3.46%.  This increase was partially offset by
the $31.1 million increase in the average balances of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities.  Interest rate
spread increased to 3.34% from 2.84%, and the net interest margin increased to 3.81% from 3.38%, respectively,
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30,
2001.

*Provision for Loan Losses*.  The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
increased $254,000, or 34.6%, to $988,000 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001.  The
increase was primarily due to the increased emphasis in commercial lending and the related increased credit risk
generally inherent in commercial loans as compared to residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, and
management's assessment of the local economy and market conditions.

*Non-Interest Income*.  Non-interest income, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and
September 30, 2001 totaled $6.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Other income, service and fee income
and  gain on sale of securities transaction increased $903,000, $510,000 and $318,000, respectively, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the comparable period in 2001.   The increase in other
income was primarily the result of the $816,000 non-recurring gain on the curtailment of the Company's pension
plan.  The increase in service and fee income resulted primarily from deposit and loan growth and fee income
and fee income associated Company's debit and ATM cards. Partially offsetting these increases was the
$110,000 decrease in the gain on sale of mortgage servicing rights and the $314,000 decrease in the net gain
on sale of loans.

*Non-Interest Expense*.  Non-interest expense decreased by $1.6 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2002 as compared to September 30, 2001.  Salaries and employee benefits and other expenses
decreased by $1.0 million and $618,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.     The
decrease in salaries and employee benefits resulted primarily from $960,000 in salary savings associated with
the elimination of positions due to the Company's initiative to process its originated residential mortgage loans through an arrangement with an outside vendor as well as the $648,000 decrease in
expense related to the one-time compensation charge associated with the retirement of the Company's former
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer that was incurred during  2001.  Partially offsetting these
decreases was the $197,000 in non-recurring expense related to the curtailment of the Company's pension plan
and the $352,000 increase in ESOP compensation.   Advertising expense and data processing expense  increased
$69,000 and $42,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

*Provision for Income Taxes*.  The increase of $2.8 million in the provision for income taxes for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2001, was
primarily attributable to the increase of 103.5% in pre-tax income.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Liquidity is managed using a combination of customer deposits, cash and short-term interest-earning
assets,  mortgage loans held for sale,  investment securities held as available for sale and borrowings  from the
FHLBNY.  At September 30, 2002, management had utilized $224.0 million in FHLBNY advances to
supplement its deposit flows and liquidity needs.

At September 30, 2002, the Company's total approved loan origination commitments outstanding totaled
$56.4 million.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2002 totaled
$94.5 million.  Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits
will remain with the Company.

At September 30, 2002, the Company had cash and due from banks of $20.9 million and securities
available for sale of $171.9 million.  Management believes these amounts, together with the Company's
borrowing capabilities, to be more than adequate to meet its short-term cash needs.

**Regulatory Capital Position**

Warwick Savings, Warwick Commercial  and Towne Center are subject to minimum regulatory capital
requirements imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), which requirements are, as a
general matter, based on the amount and composition of an institution's assets.  Insured institutions in the
strongest financial and managerial condition, with a rating of 1 (the highest examination rating of the FDIC
under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System) are required to maintain Tier 1 capital of not less than
3.0% of total assets (the "leverage capital ratio").  For all other banks, the minimum leverage capital ratio is
4.0%, unless a higher leverage capital ratio is warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profile of the
institution.

At September 30, 2002, the Parent Company exceeded the minimum regulatory capital guidelines imposed
by the Federal Reserve Board, which are substantially similar to the requirements of the FDIC, with a Tier 1
capital level of $79.0 million, or 10.04% of average assets, which is well above the required level of $31.5
million, or 4% of average assets.  The Parent Company's ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 16.77%
at September 30, 2002 is also well above the required level of 4%.  The Parent Company's ratio of total capital
to risk-weighted assets is 17.75%, which is well above the required level of 8%.  In addition, Warwick Savings',
Warwick Commercial  and Towne Center's capital ratios qualify each of them to be treated as "well capitalized"
for regulatory purposes.  The following table shows Warwick Savings' regulatory capital positions and ratios
at September 30, 2002.

******Item 3.   Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

Quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk is presented at December 31, 2001 in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Commission on March 15, 2002.  There
have been no material changes in the Company's market risk at September 30, 2002 as compared to December 31, 2001.  The Company's most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk, as the majority of its assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates.   As noted in Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis, the increase in the Company's net interest income is due, in large part, to the relative changes in the yield and cost of the Company's assets and liabilities as a result of the decreasing market interest rates in 2001 and into 2002.  Should market interest rates increase, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities may  increase faster than the rates on interest-bearing assets.  Conversely, should market interest rates fall significantly below current levels, the Company's net interest margin may also be negatively impacted.   Market risk is reviewed quarterly by the Company's Asset Liability Committee.

**Item 4.   Controls and Procedures**

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13(a)-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management within the 90-day period
preceding the filing date of this quarterly report.  The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are effective in
ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under
the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls: In the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company did not make
any significant changes in, nor take any corrective actions regarding, its internal controls or other factors that
could significantly affect these controls.
