PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

The First of Long Island Corporation (the "Registrant" or the
"Corporation"), a one-bank holding Company, was incorporated on February 7, 1984
for the purpose of providing financial services through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, The First National Bank of Long Island (the "Bank").

The Bank was organized in 1927 as a national banking association under the
laws of the United States of America and was known as the First National Bank of
Glen Head through June 30, 1978. The Bank has a Trust and Investment Services
Department and conducts insurance business through The First of Long Island
Agency, Inc. (the "Agency"), a wholly-owned subsidiary.

The Bank serves the financial needs of privately owned businesses,
professionals, consumers, public bodies, and other organizations primarily in
Nassau and Suffolk Counties, Long Island. The principal business of the Bank has
historically consisted of attracting business and consumer checking, money
market and savings deposits and investing those funds in investment securities,
commercial and residential mortgage loans, commercial loans, and home equity
loans and lines. The Corporation's loan portfolio is primarily comprised of
loans to borrowers in Nassau and Suffolk Counties and real estate loans are
principally secured by properties located in these Counties.

The Bank's investment securities portfolio is comprised of U.S. Treasury
securities, U.S. government agency securities (principally modified
pass-through, mortgage-backed securities of Federal agencies), state and
municipal securities, and collateralized mortgage obligations. The Bank also
regularly sells federal funds on an overnight basis to a number of banking
institutions.

The Bank offers a variety of deposit products having a wide range of
interest rates and terms. The principal products include checking accounts,
money market accounts, savings accounts, and time deposit accounts.

In addition to its loan and deposit products, the Bank offers other
services to its customers including the following:

o ATM Banking
o Collection Services
o Counter Checks and Certified Checks
o Drive-Through Banking
o Fixed Rate Annuities
o Foreign Drafts
o Gift Checks and Personal Money Orders
o Merchant Credit Card Depository Services
o Mutual Funds
o Night Depository Services
o Payroll Services
o PC Business Banking
o Safe Deposit Boxes
o Securities Transactions
o Signature Guarantee Services
o Telephone Banking
o Travelers Checks
o Trust and Investment Management Services
o U.S. Savings Bonds
o Wire Transfers and Foreign Cables
o Withholding Tax Depository Services

The Trust and Investment Services Department provides investment
management, pension trust, personal trust, estate, and custody services and
engages in the sale of mutual funds.

The Agency is a licensed insurance agency which was organized in 1994 under
the laws of the State of New York and is primarily engaged in the sale of fixed
rate annuity products.

During 1999, the Bank opened one new commercial banking office in Nassau
County, Long Island located in the town of Garden City. In the coming years, the
Bank will continue to search for favorable locations at which to establish new
branches, with continued emphasis on the commercial banking unit type.

In addition to the one new branch location discussed above, the Bank has a
main office located in Huntington, New York, eight other full service offices
(Glen Head, Greenvale, Locust Valley, Northport, Old Brookville, Rockville
Centre, Roslyn Heights, Woodbury) and eight other commercial banking offices
(Bohemia, Great Neck, Hauppauge, Hicksville, Lake Success, Mineola, New Hyde
Park, Valley Stream), all of which are in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

The Bank's revenues are derived principally from interest on loans,
interest on investment securities, service charges and fees on deposit accounts,
and income from trust and investment management services.

The Bank did not commence, abandon, or significantly change any of its
lines of business during 1999.

The Bank encounters substantial competition in its banking business from
numerous other banking corporations which have offices located in the
communities served by the Bank. Principal competitors are branches of large
banks such as Citibank, Chase Manhattan Bank, Bank of New York, European
American Bank, and Fleet Bank, N.A.

Lending Activities

General. The Bank's loan portfolio is primarily comprised of loans to small
and medium-sized privately owned businesses, professionals, and consumers in
Nassau and Suffolk Counties. The Bank offers a full range of lending services
including construction loans, commercial and residential mortgage loans, home
equity loans and lines, commercial loans, consumer loans, and commercial and
standby letters of credit. Commercial loans include, among other things,
short-term business loans; term and installment loans; revolving credit term
loans; and loans secured by marketable securities, the cash surrender value of
life insurance policies, or deposit accounts. Consumer loans include, among
other things, student loans guaranteed by the Federal government, auto loans,
unsecured home improvement loans, unsecured personal loans, overdraft checking
lines, and VISA(R) credit cards.

The Bank makes both fixed and variable rate loans. Variable rate loans are
tied to and reprice with changes in the Bank's prime interest rate, The Wall
Street Journal prime interest rate, or U.S. Treasury rates. Commercial mortgage
loans are made with terms usually not in excess of fifteen years, while the
maximum term on residential mortgage loans is thirty years. Commercial and
consumer loans generally mature within five years. The Bank's current practice
is to usually lend no more than 75% of appraised value on residential mortgage
loans, 65% on home equity loans and 70% on commercial mortgage loans.

The risks inherent in the Bank's loan portfolio primarily stem from the
following factors relating to borrower size, geographic concentration, and
environmental contamination: first, loans to small and medium-sized businesses
sometimes involve a higher degree of risk than those to larger companies because
such businesses may have shorter operating histories and higher debt-to-equity
ratios than larger companies and may lack sophistication in internal record
keeping and financial and operational controls; second, the ability of many of
the Bank's borrowers to repay their loans is dependent on the strength of the
Long Island economy; and finally, if it becomes necessary to foreclose a loan
secured by real estate, the ability of the Bank to fully realize its investment
is dependent on the strength of the Long Island real estate market and the
absence of environmental contamination. The Bank does not have any significant
industry concentrations or foreign loans.

Except residential mortgages and home equity products, loans from $300,000
to $500,000 require the approval of the Management Loan Committee (home equity
loans and lines have more stringent approval requirements). All loans in excess
of $500,000 require the approval of the Management Loan Committee and two
members of the Board Loan Committee, one of whom must be a non-management
director.

The Bank's lending is subject to written underwriting standards and loan
origination procedures, as approved by the Bank's Board of Directors and
contained in the Bank's loan policies. The Bank's loan policies allow for
exceptions and set forth the specific approvals required. Decisions on loan
applications are based on, among other things, the borrower's credit history,
the financial strength of the borrower, estimates of the borrower's ability to
repay the loan, and the value of the collateral, if any. All real estate
appraisals must meet the requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989.

Portfolio Composition and Selected Loan Maturity Information. The
composition of the Bank's loan portfolio and maturity and rate information for
the Bank's commercial and industrial loans can be found in "Note C - Loans" to
the Corporation's consolidated financial statements which have been incorporated
by reference into "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data" of this
Form 10-K.

Commercial Loans. The Bank makes commercial loans on a demand basis,
short-term discounted basis, or installment basis. Short-term business loans are
generally due and payable within one year and should be self liquidating during
the normal course of the borrower's business cycle. Term and installment loans
are usually due and payable within five years. Generally, it is the policy of
the Bank to obtain personal guarantees of principal owners on loans made to
privately-owned businesses.

Real Estate Mortgage and Home Equity Loans and Lines. The Bank makes
residential and commercial mortgage loans and home equity loans and establishes
home equity lines of credit. Applicants for residential mortgage loans and home
equity loans and lines will be considered for approval provided they have
satisfactory credit history and the Bank believes that there is sufficient
monthly income to service both the loan or line applied for and existing debt.
Applicants for commercial mortgage loans will be considered for approval
provided they, as well as any guarantors, have satisfactory credit history and
can demonstrate, through financial statements and otherwise, the ability to
repay. If the source of repayment is rental income, such income must be more
than sufficient to amortize the debt.

In processing requests for commercial mortgage loans, the Bank almost
always requires an environmental assessment to identify the possibility of
environmental contamination on or near the subject property. The extent of the
assessment procedures varies from property to property and is based on factors
such as whether or not the subject property is an industrial building, in close
proximity to a known environmentally hazardous area, or a suspected
environmental risk based on current or past use.

Construction Loans. The Bank makes loans to finance the construction of
both residential and commercial properties. The maturity of such loans generally
does exceed one year and advances are made as the construction progresses. The
advances require the submission of bills by the contractor, verification by a
Bank-approved inspector that the work has been performed, and obtaining title
insurance updates to insure that no intervening liens have been placed.

Consumer Loans and Lines. The Bank makes student loans, auto loans, home
improvement loans, and other consumer loans, establishes revolving overdraft
lines of credit, and issues VISA(R) credit cards. Consumer loans and lines may
be secured or unsecured.

2



With the exception of student loans, consumer loans are generally made on an
installment basis over terms not exceeding five years. In reviewing loans and
lines for approval, the Bank considers, among other things, ability to repay,
stability of employment and residence, and past credit history.

Past Due, Nonaccrual, and Restructured Loans. Selected information about
the Bank's past due, nonaccrual, and restructured loans can be found in "Note C
- - Loans" to the Corporation's consolidated financial statements which have been
incorporated by reference into "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental
Data" of this Form 10-K.

The accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued when principal
or interest payments become past due 90 days or more. As of December 31, 1999,
the Bank did not have any impaired loans or material potential problem loans
except for the loans disclosed in "Note C" to its consolidated financial
statements.

Economic conditions in the Bank's market area were excellent during 1999.
Future levels of past due, nonperforming, and restructured loans will be
affected by the strength of the local economy.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is an amount that
management currently believes will be adequate to absorb estimated inherent
losses in the Bank's loan portfolio. Changes in the Bank's allowance for loan
losses for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 1999 and the
allocation of the Bank's allowance for loan losses by loan type at the end of
each of these years can be found in "Note C - Loans" to the Corporation's
consolidated financial statements which have been incorporated by reference into
"Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data" of this Form 10-K.

The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan
losses charged against income. Amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged
against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are
credited to the allowance. The allocated component of the allowance for loan
losses is comprised of (1) impairment losses identified as a result of
selectively reviewing individual credits plus (2) losses on loans that have not
been specifically reviewed but rather determined on a pooled basis taking into
account a variety of factors including historical losses; levels of and trends
in delinquencies and nonaccruing loans; trends in volume and terms of loans;
changes in lending policies and procedures; experience, ability and depth of
lending staff; national and local economic conditions; concentrations of credit;
and environmental risks. The unallocated or general component of the allowance
is designed to cover losses in the portfolio that have not otherwise been
identified through the review of specific loans or pools of loans.

The amount of future chargeoffs and provisions for loan losses will be
affected by, among other things, economic conditions on Long Island. Such
conditions affect the financial strength of the Bank's borrowers and the value
of real estate collateral securing the Bank's mortgage loans. In addition,
future provisions and chargeoffs could be affected by environmental impairment
of properties securing the Bank's mortgage loans. Loans secured by real estate
represent approximately 81% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 1999.
Since 1987, environmental audits have been instituted on commercial properties
and the scope of these audits has been increased over the succeeding years.
Under the Bank's current policy, an environmental audit is required on
practically all commercial-type properties that are considered for a mortgage
loan. At the present time, the Bank is not aware of any existing loans in the
portfolio where there is environmental pollution originating on the mortgaged
properties that would materially affect the value of the portfolio.

Investment Activities

General. The investment policy of the Bank, as approved by the Board of
Directors and supervised by both the Board and the Investment Committee, is
intended to promote investment practices which are both safe and sound and in
full compliance with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
(FFIEC) Supervisory Policy Statement on Investment Securities and End-User
Derivative Activities and all other applicable regulations. Investment authority
will be granted and amended as is necessary by the Board of Directors.

The Bank's investment decisions seek to maximize income while keeping both
credit and market risk at acceptable levels, provide for the Bank's liquidity
needs, assist in managing interest rate sensitivity, and provide securities that
can be pledged, as needed, to secure deposits or borrowing lines.

The Bank's investment policy limits individual maturities to fifteen years
and average lives, in the case of collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and
other mortgage-backed securities, to 10 years. At the time of purchase, bonds of
states and political subdivisions must generally be rated A or better, notes of
states and political subdivisions must generally be rated MIG-2 (or equivalent)
or better, and commercial paper must be rated A-1 or P-1. In addition,
management periodically reviews issuer credit ratings for all securities in the
Bank's portfolio other than those issued by the U.S. government or its agencies.
Any deterioration in the creditworthiness of an issuer will be analyzed and
appropriate action taken when deemed necessary. The Bank has not engaged in the
purchase and sale of securities for the primary purpose of producing trading
profits and its current investment policy does not allow such activity.

At December 31, 1999, the Bank had net unrealized losses of $2,740,000 in
its held-to-maturity portfolio, consisting of gross unrealized losses of
$3,068,000 and gross unrealized gains of $328,000. The unrealized gains and
losses were principally caused by decreases and increases, respectively, in
interest rates since the securities were purchased. The Bank has the intent and
ability to hold these securities to maturity and therefore expects that neither
the unrealized gains nor the unrealized losses will ever be realized.

3



However, the effect of holding securities with unrealized gains or losses is
that more or less interest will be earned in future periods than could be earned
on securities purchased currently.

Portfolio Composition. The composition of the Bank's investment portfolio
can be found in "Note B - Investment Securities" to the Corporation's
consolidated financial statements which have been incorporated by reference into
"Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data" of this Form 10-K.

Maturity Information. The maturities and weighted average yields of the
Bank's investment securities at December 31, 1999 can be found in "Note B -
Investment Securities" to the Corporation's consolidated financial statements
which have been incorporated by reference into "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplemental Data" of this Form 10-K.

The Bank received dividends on its Federal Reserve Bank stock of $6,905 in
1999 representing a yield of 6.00%.

Sources of Funds

General. The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, cash flows from
operations, collection of principal and interest on loans, maturity and
redemption of investment securities, and interest earned on investment
securities and federal funds sold.

The Bank offers checking and interest-bearing deposit products. In addition
to business checking, the Bank has a variety of personal checking products
including "First Class", regular, budget, senior citizen and special checking.
Among other things, the personal products differ in minimum balance
requirements, monthly maintenance fees, and per check charges. The
interest-bearing deposit products, which have a wide range of interest rates and
terms, consist of checking, including interest on lawyer accounts (IOLA); three
money-market-type products, including a traditional money market savings
account, "Select Savings" - a statement savings account that earns a money
market rate, and "Diamond Savings" - a passbook savings account that earns a
money market rate; statement and passbook savings; escrow service; rent
security; savings certificates (3 month, 6 month and 1 to 6 year terms); large
and jumbo certificates; holiday club accounts; and individual retirement
accounts (savings certificates with terms of 1 to 6 years).

Total certificates of deposits, the majority of which mature within one
year, were $38,550,000, or 7.7% of total deposits, at December 31, 1999.
Certificates of deposit in amounts of $100,000 or more were $14,668,000 at
December 31, 1999, or 2.9% of total deposits.

The Bank relies primarily on customer service, calling programs,
competitive pricing, and advertising to attract and retain deposits. Currently,
the Bank solicits deposits only from its local market area and does not have any
deposits which qualify as brokered deposits under applicable Federal
regulations. The flow of deposits is influenced by general economic conditions,
changes in interest rates and competition.

Classification of Average Deposits. The classification of the Bank's
average deposits can be found in "Note E - Deposits" to the Corporation's
consolidated financial statements which have been incorporated by reference into
"Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data" of this Form 10-K.

Remaining Maturities of Time Deposits. The remaining maturities of the
Bank's time deposits in amounts of $100,000 or more at December 31, 1999 can be
found in "Note E - Deposits" to the Corporation's consolidated financial
statements which have been incorporated by reference into "Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplemental Data" of this Form 10-K.

Competition

The heavy concentration of financial institutions in Nassau and Suffolk
Counties has led to keen competition for both loans and deposits. Competition in
originating commercial loans comes primarily from commercial institutions
located in the Bank's market area. The Bank competes for commercial loans on the
basis of the quality of service it provides to borrowers, the interest rates and
loan fees it charges, and the types of loans it offers.

The Bank attracts all of its deposits through its banking offices primarily
from the communities in which those banking offices are located. Competition for
deposits is principally from other commercial banks, savings banks, brokerage
firms and credit unions located in these communities. The Bank competes for
these deposits by offering a variety of account alternatives at competitive
rates, a competitive service charge schedule, a high level of customer service
and convenient branch locations.

Employees

As of December 31, 1999, the Bank had 164 full-time equivalent employees
and considers employee relations to be satisfactory. Employees of the Bank are
not represented by a collective bargaining unit.

Regulation

The Corporation is subject to the regulation and supervision of the Federal
Reserve Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The primary banking
agency responsible for regulating the Bank is the Comptroller of the Currency.
The Bank is also subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve
Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Counties, New York.

The Corporation believes that the physical facilities of the Bank are
suitable and adequate at present and are being fully utilized.
