4. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On August 27, 2002 the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly
dividend of nine cents ($0.09) per common share. The dividend was paid on
October 1, 2002, to shareholders of record as of September 20, 2002.

5. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

At September 30, 2002, the Bank had outstanding commitments to purchase $5.0
million of mortgage-backed securities at a rate of 4.00% settling in October
2002 and $5.0 million of mortgage-backed securities at a rate of 4.00% settling
in November 2002.

6. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 147, "Acquisitions of
Certain Financial Institutions." SFAS No. 147 amends SFAS No. 72, "Accounting
for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions," SFAS No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", and FASB
Interpretation No. 9, "Applying APB Opinions Nos. 16 and 17 When a Savings and
Loan Association or a Similar Institution is Acquired in a Business Combination
Accounted for by the Purchase Method." This Statement removes acquisitions of
financial institutions, other than transactions between two or more mutual
enterprises, from the scope of SFAS No. 72 and FASB Interpretation No. 9. SFAS
No. 147 also amends SFAS No. 144 to include long-term customer-relationship
intangible assets such as depositor- and borrower-relationship intangible assets
and credit cardholder intangible assets. The provisions of SFAS No. 147 are
effective October 1, 2002. There was no impact on the Company's consolidated
statements of financial condition or consolidated statements of income upon
adoption of SFAS No. 147.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." The Statement requires companies to recognize
costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather
than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Previous
accounting guidance was provided by Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No.
94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other
Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 replaces EITF Issue No. 94-3. SFAS No. 146 is to
be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December
31, 2002.


7


In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements Nos.
4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections."
The Statement updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting
pronouncements. SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses
from Extinguishment of Debt," which required all gains and losses from
extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an
extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria
in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 30, "Reporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions," will now be used to classify those gains and
losses. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 are effective for fiscal years beginning
after May 15, 2002. Early application of SFAS No. 145 is encouraged. There will
be no impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheets or consolidated
statements of earnings upon adoption of SFAS No. 145.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which replaced SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."
SFAS No. 144 established a single accounting model, based on the framework
established in SFAS No. 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.
SFAS No. 144 also resolved significant implementation issues related to SFAS No.
121. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. There was no impact
on the Company's consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of
earnings upon adoption of SFAS No. 144, on January 1, 2002.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at
least annually in accordance with the provision of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142
also requires that other intangible assets with estimable useful lives be
amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated
residual values. Amortizing intangible assets must also be reviewed for
impairment. SFAS No. 142 is applicable to fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001 and is required to be applied at the beginning of the entities fiscal
year. There was no impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheets
or consolidated statements of earnings upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, on
January 1, 2002.



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

General

The principal business of Long Island Financial Corp. consists of the operation
of a wholly-owned subsidiary, Long Island Commercial Bank. Long Island
Commercial Bank is a New York state-chartered commercial bank, founded in 1989,
which is engaged in commercial banking in Islandia, New York, and the
surrounding communities of Suffolk, Nassau, and Kings counties. The Bank offers
a broad range of commercial and consumer banking services, including loans to
and deposit accounts for small and medium-sized businesses, professionals, high
net worth individuals and consumers. The Bank is an independent local bank,
emphasizing personal attention and responsiveness to the needs of its customers.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company identifies accounting policies critical to the Company's operations
and understanding of the Company's results of operations. Certain accounting
policies are considered to be important to the portrayal of the Company's
financial condition, since they require management to make complex or subjective
judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain.
The inherent sensitivity of the Company's consolidated financial statements to
critical accounting policies and, the use of judgments, estimates and
assumptions could result in material differences in the Company's results of
operations or financial condition.

The Company has determined that the methodology used in determining the level of
its allowance for loan losses is critical in the presentation and understanding
of the Company's consolidated financial statements. The allowance for loan
losses represents management's estimate of probable losses inherent in the
portfolio. This evaluation process is subject to numerous estimates and
judgments. Changes in these estimates could have a direct impact on the
provision for loan losses and could result in a change in the allowance. While
management uses available information to determine losses on loans, future
additions to the allowance may be necessary based on, among other things,
unanticipated changes in economic conditions, particularly in the counties of
Nassau, and Suffolk.

In evaluating the portfolio, management takes into consideration numerous
factors such as the Company's loan growth, prior loss experience, present and
potential risks of the loan portfolio, risk ratings assigned by lending
personnel, ratings assigned by the independent loan review function, the present
financial condition of the borrowers, current economic conditions, and other
portfolio risk characteristics. The Company's formalized process for assessing
the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the resultant need, if any,
for periodic provisions to the allowance charged to income consists of both
individual loan analyses and loan pool analyses. The individual loan analyses
are periodically performed on individually significant loans or when otherwise
deemed necessary and primarily encompass commercial real estate and commercial
and industrial loans. Management believes that the Company's allowance for loan
losses at September 30, 2002 is adequate to provide for estimated probable
losses inherent in the portfolio.

Financial Condition

The Company's total assets were $402.0 million as of September 30, 2002,
compared to $438.4 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease in total assets
was primarily attributable to the decline in the securities available-for-sale
portfolio, which decreased $54.1 million, or 26.8%, as the proceeds of maturing
short-term U.S. Government and agency obligations purchased in December 2001
were used to pay maturing seasonal municipal deposits. Offsetting this decrease
in part, was a $20.5 million, or 11.6%, increase in loans, net, from $176.8
million at December 31, 2001, to $197.3 million at September 30, 2002,
reflecting increases primarily in the automobile loan and commercial real estate
loan portfolio.

Total deposits decreased $34.6 million, or 10.0%, from $345.9 million at
December 31, 2001 to $311.3 million at September 30, 2002, primarily reflecting
a decrease in NOW and money market deposits. The decrease in NOW and money
market deposits of $74.2 million, or 66.8%, from $111.1 million at December 31,
2001 to $36.9 million at September 30, 2002, is attributable to the withdrawal
of seasonal municipal deposits. Time deposits in excess of $100,000 decreased
$13.4 million, or 37.2%, from $35.9 million at December 31, 2001 to $22.5
million at September 30, 2002. The effects of those declines were offset in part
by a $32.7 million, or 76.1%, increase in savings deposits and a $15.5 million,
or 25.3%, increase in demand deposits. No federal funds purchased or securities
sold under agreements to repurchase were outstanding at September 30, 2002.
Other borrowings, which consist of Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances,
remained unchanged at $55.0 million.


9




Stockholders' equity increased $3.9 million, or 18.3%, to $25.0 million at
September 30, 2002 compared to $21.1 million at December 31, 2001. The increase
to stockholders equity included $2.2 million of net income for the nine months
ending September 30, 2002, and a decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive
loss on securities available-for-sale of $2.0 million. Offsetting those
increases in part were dividends declared of $391,000.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning
assets and expense 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.

The following tables set forth certain information relating to the Company's
consolidated average balance sheets and its consolidated statements of earnings
for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and
reflect the average yield on interest-earning assets and average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Yields and costs are
derived by dividing annualized income or expense by the average balance of
interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively. Average
balances are derived from average daily balances. Average balances include
non-accrual loans although they are not material.

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

General

The Company reported net income of $676,000, or basic earnings per share of $.47
and diluted earnings per share of $.45 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002,
compared to $435,000, or basic earnings per share of $.30 and diluted earnings
per share of $.29, for the prior year period. The increase in net income was
attributable primarily to a $602,000, or 21.1% increase in net interest income
after provision for loan losses and an increase in other operating income of
$276,000, or 48.4%. Offsetting those increases was a $510,000, or 18.5% increase
in other operating expenses.

Interest Income

Interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased $223,000, or
4.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the three
months ended September 30, 2001. This increase was attributable to the increase
in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $61.2 million, or 20.4%,
from $301.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $362.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in the
average balance of interest earning assets was offset in part by a 100 basis
point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets from 7.40% for
the three months ended September 30, 2001, to 6.40% for the comparable 2002
period. The decrease in average yield on interest-earning assets was
attributable to a 122 basis point decrease in yield on securities, net,
(exclusive of municipal obligations) which declined from 6.34% for the three
months ended September 30, 2001, to 5.12% for the three months ended September
30, 2002. The average yield on loans receivable, net, decreased 78 basis points
from 8.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to 7.68% for the
comparable 2002 period. Partially offsetting the decline in yield from period to
period was the $25.0 million, or 18.3% increase in the average balance of
securities, net, (exclusive of municipal obligations) from $136.5 million for
three months ended September 30, 2001, to $161.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2002. The average balance of loans, net, increased $34.0
million, or 21.5% from $158.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
2001, to $192.1 million for the comparable 2002 period.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $2.3 million,
compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, a
decrease of $359,000, or 13.6%. The decrease was attributable to a 124 basis
point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 4.39%
for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to 3.15% for the three months
ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in average cost was partially offset by a
$48.9 million, or 20.4%, increase in the average balance of total
interest-bearing liabilities from $240.4 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 to $289.3 million for the three months ended September 30,
2002. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities reflects increases of
$37.8 million in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits and $11.2
million in the balance of borrowed funds when compared to the prior year period.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 decreased $467,000, or 22.4%, to $1.6 million from $2.1
million for the corresponding 2001 period. This decrease was primarily due to a
148 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits
from 4.23% for three months ended September 30, 2001 to 2.75% for the
corresponding period in 2002. Offsetting the decrease in the average rate paid
was an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $37.8
million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from the corresponding
period in 2001. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits
was the result of increases in the average balance of savings deposits of $28.2
million, or 67.4%, and in the balances of NOW and money market deposits of $12.9
million, or 48.2% from period to period. The increase in average balances of
interest-bearing deposits is the result of the Company's branch expansion and
the development of competitive deposit products that meet the needs of its
commercial and consumer customers.

13


Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $108,000, or 19.4%, from $557,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $665,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the
average balance of borrowed funds of $11.2 million, or 25.6%, from $43.8 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $55.0 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2002. Offsetting the increase in the average balance
was a 25 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowed funds from 5.09%
for the 2001 period, to 4.84% for the 2002 period.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis
increased by $582,000, or 19.8%, from $2.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2001, to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30,
2002. The average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities for the period
decreased 124 basis points from 4.39% in the 2001 period to 3.15% in the 2002
period. The average yield on total interest-earning assets for the period
decreased 100 basis points from 7.40% in the 2001 period to 6.40% in the 2002
period. The net interest rate spread increased by 24 basis points from 3.01% in
the 2001 period, to 3.25% in the 2002 period.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company made a $60,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, compared to a $75,000 provision for loan losses for the
three months ended September 30, 2001. The provision for loan losses for the
three months ended September 30, 2002 reflects management's qualitative and
quantitative assessment of the loan portfolio, net charge-offs and collection of
delinquent loans. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $2.2 million and
$2.0 million at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.11% and 1.13% at
September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

The following table sets forth information regarding non-accrual loans and loans
delinquent 90 days or more and still accruing interest at the dates indicated.
It is the Company's general policy to discontinue accruing interest on all
loans, which are past-due more than 90 days or when, in the opinion of
management, such suspension is warranted. When a loan is placed on non-accrual
status, the Company ceases the accrual of interest owed and previously accrued
interest is charged against interest income. Loans are generally returned to
accrual status when principal and interest payments are current, there is
reasonable assurance that the loan will be fully collectable and a consistent
record of performance has been demonstrated.

Other Operating Income

Other operating income increased $276,000, or 48.4%, to $846,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2002. Service charges on deposit accounts increased
$187,000, or 72.5%, reflecting overall growth in the depositor base, and the
introduction of new and electronic banking services. Included in other operating
income was a $66,000, or 53.7%, increase in net gain on sale of residential
loans attributable to an overall increase in residential mortgage loan
production resulting from a more favorable interest rate environment.

Other Operating Expense

Other operating expense increased $510,000, or 18.5%, from $2.8 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2001, to $3.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2002. The increase resulted primarily from increases in
salaries and employee benefits, premises and equipment expense, and other
expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002 attributable to the Bank's
branch expansion.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased $127,000, or 56.2%, from $226,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2001, to $353,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2002, as a result of the increase in income before income taxes. The effective
tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and those ended
September 30, 2001 were 34.3% and 34.2%, respectively.

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

General

The Company reported net income of $2.2 million, or basic earnings per share of
$1.52, and diluted earnings per share of $1.47 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or basic earnings
per share of $1.02, and diluted earnings per share of $1.00 for the prior year
period. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to an increase in
net interest income after provision for loan losses of $1.7 million, or 20.2%,
and an increase in other operating income of $928,000, or 61.6%. Offsetting
those increases was a $1.6 million, or 20.1% increase in other operating
expenses.

Interest Income

Interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, decreased $56,000, or .3%,
from the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to the nine months ended
September 30, 2002. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in the average
yield on interest-earning assets of 101 basis points from 7.29% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, to 6.28% for the nine months ended September
30, 2002. The decrease in average yield on interest earning-assets was
attributable to a 124 basis point decrease in yield on securities, net,
(exclusive of municipal obligations) and a decrease of 96 basis points on loans,
net. From period to period, the average yield on securities declined from 6.25%
to 5.01% and the average yield on loans declined from 8.62% to 7.66%.
Substantially offsetting those declines in yield from period to period, was an
increase in the average balance of securities, net, (exclusive of municipal
obligations) of $18.1 million, or 11.4%, from $159.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, to $177.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2002. Similarly, the average balance of loans, net, increased $38.5 million,
or 26.1%, from $147.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, to
$186.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

15


Interest Expense

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $6.9 million,
compared to $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, a
decrease of $1.9 million, or 21.7%. The decrease in interest expense was the
result of a 142 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities from 4.45% for the nine months ending September 30, 2001 as compared
to 3.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in average
cost was offset by a $39.6 million, or 15.0% increase in the average balance of
total interest-bearing liabilities from $264.4 million for the 2001 period to
$304.0 million for the 2002 period. The increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities reflects a $26.6 million increase in the average balance of
interest-bearing deposits and a $13.1 million increase in the average balance of
borrowed funds when compared to the prior year period.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 decreased $2.3 million, or 31.5%, to $4.9 million from $7.2
million for the corresponding 2001 period. This decrease was primarily due to a
168 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits
from 4.33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 2.65% for the
corresponding period in 2002. Offsetting the decrease in the average rate paid
was a $26.6 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits
of for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from the corresponding period in
2001. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits was the
result of increases in the average balance of savings deposits of $21.2 million,
or 56.3%, and NOW and money market deposits of $7.1 million, or 13.0% from
period to period. The increase in average balances of interest-bearing deposits
is the result of the Company's branch expansion and the development of
competitive deposit products that meet the needs of its commercial and consumer
customers.

Interest expense on borrowed funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
increased $341,000, or 20.6%, to $2.0 million from $1.7 million for the
corresponding 2001 period. The increase was primarily due to a $13.1 million, or
29.9%, increase in the average balance of borrowed funds from $43.7 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $56.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002. Offsetting the increase in the average balance was a
36 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowed funds from 5.06% for the
2001 period, to 4.70% for the 2002 period.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased by $1.9
million, or 21.4%, from $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2001, to $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The average
cost of total interest-bearing liabilities for the period decreased 142 basis
points from 4.45% in the 2001 period to 3.03% in the 2002 period. The average
yield on interest-earning assets for the period decreased 101 basis points from
7.29% in the 2001 period to 6.28% in the 2002 period. The net interest rate
spread increased by 41 basis points from 2.84% in the 2001 period, to 3.25% in
the 2002 period.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company made a $210,000 provision for loan losses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, compared to a $75,000 provision for loan losses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001. The provision for loan losses is based on
analysis of the loan portfolio and reflects an amount, which in management's
judgment is adequate to provide for probable loan losses in the existing
portfolio.

16



Other Operating Income

Other operating income increased $928,000, or 61.6%, to $2.4 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002. Service charges on deposit accounts
increased $498,000, or 63.1%, reflecting an overall increase in the Bank's
deposit fee structure, growth in the depositor base, and the introduction of new
and electronic banking services. Gain on sale of residential loans increased
$247,000, or 88.8%, as a result of an overall increase in residential mortgage
loan production made possible by lower market interest rates.

Other Operating Expense

Other operating expenses increased $1.5 million, or 20.1%, from $7.9 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to $9.4 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2002. Increases in salaries and employee benefits, premises
and equipment expense, and other expense for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 are a result of the Bank's continuing branch expansion.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased $375,000, or 48.5%, from $773,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 and was attributable to the increase in income before income taxes. The
effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was 34.4%,
compared to 34.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Liquidity

Liquidity management for the Company requires that funds be available to pay all
deposit withdrawal and maturing financial obligations and meet credit funding
requirements promptly and fully in accordance with their terms. For most banks,
including the Bank, maturing assets provide only a limited portion of the funds
required to pay maturing liabilities over a short time frame. The balance of the
funds required is provided by liquid assets and the acquisition of additional
liabilities, making liability management integral to liquidity management in the
short term.

The Company's liquid assets consist of cash and due from banks, federal funds
sold, interest-earning deposits with other financial institutions and securities
classified as available-for-sale, less securities pledged as collateral. The
Company has established a minimum liquidity level, average liquid assets to
average assets, at 10%. Average balances are derived from average daily
balances. During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company's
average minimum liquidity level was 26.1%.

The Company maintains levels of liquidity that it considers adequate to meet its
current needs. The Company's principal sources of cash include incoming
deposits, the repayment of loans and conversion of investment securities. When
cash requirements increase faster than cash is generated, either through
increased loan demand or withdrawal of deposited funds, the Company can arrange
for the sale of loans or liquidate available-for-sale securities. It can also
access its lines of credit, totaling $6.5 million, with unaffiliated financial
institutions, which enable it to borrow federal funds on an unsecured basis. In
addition, the Company has available lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan
Bank of New York (FHLB) equal to 8.3% of the Company's assets at September 30,
2002, which enable it to borrow funds on a secured basis. The Company could also
engage in other forms of borrowings, including reverse repurchase agreements.

At September 30, 2002, the Company's borrowings consisted of convertible and
medium term advances from the FHLB. The convertible feature of these advances
allows the FHLB, at a specified call date and quarterly thereafter, to convert
these advances into replacement funding for the same or lesser principal amount,
based on any advance then offered by the FHLB, at then current market rates. If
the FHLB elects to convert these advances, the Bank may repay any portion of the
advances without penalty. The convertible advances are secured by various
mortgage-backed and callable U.S. agency securities.

At September 30, 2002, convertible and medium term advances outstanding were as follows:

---------
Total $ 55,000,000


The primary investing activities of the Company are the purchase of securities
available-for-sale and the origination of loans. During each of the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, and 2001, the Company's purchases of securities that
were classified available-for-sale totaled $644.8 million and $829.7 million,
respectively. Loan originations, net of principal repayments on loans, totaled
$20.7 million and $31.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
and 2001, respectively. Borrowings, principal repayments and maturities of
securities were used primarily to fund those activities.

Capital Resources

The Bank is subject to the risk based capital guidelines administered by the
banking regulatory agencies. The guidelines currently require all banks to
maintain a minimum ratio of total risk based capital to total risk weighted
assets of 8%, including a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk weighted
assets of 4% and a Tier 1 capital to average adjusted assets of 4%. Failure to
meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly
additional discretionary actions by regulators, that, if undertaken, could have
a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. As of December 31,
2001, the most recent notification from the federal banking regulators
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action.

In accordance with the requirements of the FDIC and the New York State Banking
Department, the Bank must meet certain measures of capital adequacy with respect
to leverage and risk-based capital. As of September 30, 2002, the Bank exceeded
those requirements with a leverage capital ratio, risk-based capital ratio and
total-risk based capital ratio of 6.65%, 10.74%, and 11.65%, respectively.

On May 24, 2001, the Company announced a plan for a stock repurchase program to
acquire an additional 75,000 shares of the outstanding common stock of the
Company. As of September 30, 2002, no repurchases had been made under this
program. The plan for the repurchase program was undertaken because management
believed that the repurchase of shares would enhance shareholder value and
provide additional liquidity for otherwise thinly traded shares. The repurchase
program, which remains in effect, generally will be conducted through open
market purchases, although unsolicited negotiated transactions or other types of
repurchases may be considered. Management does not believe the stock repurchase
will adversely affect the strong liquidity or capital positions of the Company,
its designation as well-capitalized or its compliance with established
regulatory capital requirements. At September 30, 2002, the Company held 336,900
shares of treasury stock at an average cost of $12.40 per share.



Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The principal objective of the Company's interest rate management is to evaluate
the interest rate risk inherent in certain balance sheet accounts, determine the
level of risk appropriate given the Company's business strategy, operating
environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, and
manage the risk consistent with guidelines approved by the Board of Directors.
Through such management, the Company seeks to reduce the vulnerability of it's
operations to changes in interest rates. The Board has directed the Investment
Committee to review the Company's interest rate risk position on a quarterly
basis.

18


Funds management is the process by which the Company seeks to maximize
the profit potential which is derived from the spread between the rates earned
on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities
through the management of various balance sheet components. It involves
virtually every aspect of the Company's management and decision-making process.
Accordingly, the Company's results of operations and financial condition are
largely dependent on the movements in market interest rates and the Company's
ability to manage its assets and liabilities in response to such movements.

At September 30, 2002, 60.4% of the Company's gross loans had adjustable
interest rates and its loan portfolio had an average weighted maturity of 8.9
years. At that date, $39.1 million, or 24.0%, of the Company's securities had
adjustable interest rates, and its securities portfolio had a weighted average
maturity of 2.5 years. At September 30, 2002, the Company had $51.7 million of
certificates of deposit with maturities of one year or less and $22.5 million of
deposits over $100,000, which tend to be less stable sources of funding when
compared to core deposits, and which represented 25.7% of the Company's
interest-bearing liabilities. In a rising interest rate environment the
Company's interest-bearing liabilities may adjust upwardly more rapidly than the
yield on its adjustable-rate assets. Thus, due to the Company's level of shorter
term certificates of deposit, the Company's cost of funds may increase at a
greater rate in a rising rate environment than if it had a greater amount of
core deposits which, in turn, may adversely affect net interest income and net
income.

The Company's interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the
use of a quarterly interest rate risk analysis model which evaluates (i) the
potential change in the net interest income over the succeeding four quarter
periods and (ii) the potential change in the fair market value of equity, of the
Company ("Net Economic Value of Equity"), which would result from an
instantaneous and sustained interest rate change of zero and plus or minus 200
basis points in 100 basis point increments.




At September 30, 2002, the effect of instantaneous and sustained interest rate changes on the Company's Net
Interest Income and Net Economic Value of Equity are as follows:

Change in Potential Change in Potential Change in
Interest Rates Net Interest Income Net Economic Value of Equity
in Basis Points $ Change % Change $ Change % Change
(Dollars in thousands)

200 $ (35) (0.24) % $ (1,706) (6.14) %
100 (16) (0.11) (1,845) (6.64)

(100) (88) (0.61) (3,226) (11.61)
