4. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company applies the intrinsic-value based method of accounting prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions
involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, issued in
March 2000, to account for its fixed-plan stock options. Under this method,
compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market
price of the stock exceeded the exercise price. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock Based Compensation, established accounting and disclosure requirements
using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation plans. As allowed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the
intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only
the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the
effect on net income if the fair-value-based method had been applied to all
stock options granted or vested in each period.

5. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On February 26, 2003 the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly
dividend of ten cents ($0.10) per common share. The dividend was paid on April
1, 2003, to shareholders of record as of March 21, 2003.
6. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into commitments to purchase
investment securities . At March 31, 2003, the Bank had no outstanding
commitments to purchase investment securities.
7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," for certain
decisions made by the Board as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group
process. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified
after June 30, 2003 and hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003.
Management does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 149 will have a
significant impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheets or consolidated
statement of earnings.
In November 2002, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No.
5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34." This
Interpretation clarifies the requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting
for Contingencies," relating to the guarantor's accounting for and disclosure of
the issuance of certain types of guarantees. The disclosure provision of the
Interpretation are effective for financial statements of interim or annual
reports that end after December 15, 2002. However, the provisions for initial
recognition and measurement are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees
that are issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the
guarantor's year-end. The application of this Interpretation did not have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheet or consolidated
statement of earnings.

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 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. The evaluation process for making provisions for loan losses is
subject to numerous estimates and judgments. Changes in those estimates would
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 Suffolk and Nassau.
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 March 31, 2003 is adequate to provide for estimated probable losses
inherent in the portfolio.
9
Financial Condition
The Company's total assets were $459.1 million as of March 31, 2003, compared to
$492.0 million at December 31, 2002. The decrease in total assets was primarily
attributable to the decline in the securities available-for-sale portfolio,
which decreased $20.9 million, or 9.5%, as the proceeds of maturing short-term
U.S. Government and agency obligations purchased in December 2002 were used to
pay maturing seasonal municipal deposits. Also contributing to that decrease in
part, was a $3.1 million, or 1.4%, decrease in loans, net, from $217.7 million
at December 31, 2002, to $214.6 million at March 31, 2003, reflecting a decrease
primarily in commercial and industrial loans.
Total deposits decreased $45.3 million, or 11.3%, from $400.5 million at
December 31, 2002 to $355.3 million at March 31, 2003, primarily reflecting a
decrease in NOW and money market deposits. The decrease in NOW and money market
deposits of $54.3 million, or 41.6%, from $130.6 million at December 31, 2002 to
$76.3 million at March 31, 2003, is attributable to the withdrawal of seasonal
municipal deposits. Time certificates in excess of $100,000 decreased $7.8
million, or 37.8%, from $20.5 million at December 31, 2002 to $12.8 million at
March 31, 2003. The effects of those declines were offset in part by a $10.6
million, or 14.4%, increase in savings deposits and a $9.8 million, or 12.5%,
increase in demand deposits. Federal funds purchased and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase were $12.0 million at March 31, 2003. Other borrowings,
which consist of Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances, remained unchanged
at $55.0 million.
Stockholders' equity increased $533,000, or 2.1%, to $26.1 million at March 31,
2003 compared to $25.6 million at December 31, 2002. The increase to
stockholders equity included $798,000 of net income for the three months ending
March 31, 2003. Offsetting this increase in part were dividends declared of
$145,000.
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 ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, 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 loan balances include non-accrual loans although
they are not material.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and
2002
General
The Company reported net income of $798,000, or basic earnings per share of $.55
and diluted earnings per share of $.53 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003,
compared to $718,000, or basic earnings per share of $.50 and diluted earnings
per share of $.49, for the prior year period. The increase in net income was
attributable primarily to a $490,000, or 14.6% increase in net interest income
after provision for loan losses and an increase in other operating income of
$151,000, or 18.9%. Offsetting those increases was a $490,000, or 16.0% increase
in other operating expenses.
Interest Income
Interest income increased $328,000, or 5.7%, for the three months ended March
31, 2003, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. This increase was
attributable to the increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets
of $64.1 million, or 17.1%, from $375.1 million for the three months ended March
31, 2002, to $439.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The
increase in the average balance of interest earning assets was offset in part by
a 60 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets from
6.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to 5.55% for the comparable
2003 period. The decrease in average yield on interest-earning assets was
attributable to a 82 basis point decrease in yield on securities, net, which
declined from 4.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to 4.17% for the
three months ended March 31, 2003. The average yield on loans receivable, net,
decreased 47 basis points from 7.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2002,
to 7.06% for the comparable 2003 period. Partially offsetting the decline in
yield from period to period was the $33.0 million, or 17.7% increase in the
average balance of securities, net, from $186.9 million for three months ended
March 31, 2002, to $219.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The
average balance of loans, net, increased $33.9 million, or 18.7% from $181.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $215.0 million for the
comparable 2003 period.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $2.2 million,
compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, a decrease
of $132,000, or 5.7%. The decrease was attributable to a 60 basis point decrease
in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 3.00% for the three
months ended March 31, 2002 to 2.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
The decrease in average cost was partially offset by a $54.6 million, or 17.7%,
increase in the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities from
$309.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $364.3 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities reflects increases of $49.5 million in the average balance of
interest-bearing deposits and $5.2 million in the average balance of borrowed
funds when compared to the prior year period.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended March
31, 2003 decreased $145,000, or 8.8%, to $1.5 million from $1.7 million for the
corresponding 2002 period. This decrease was primarily due to a 63 basis point
decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits from 2.63% for
three months ended March 31, 2002 to 2.00% for the corresponding period in 2003.
Offsetting the decrease in the average rate paid was an increase in the average
balance of interest-bearing deposits of $49.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2003 from the corresponding period in 2002. The increase in the
average balance of interest-bearing deposits was the result of increases in the
average balance of savings deposits of $36.7 million, or 79.4%, and in the
average balances of NOW and money market deposits of $34.0 million, or 46.3%
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.
12
Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $13,000, or 2.0%, from $665,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $678,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2003. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average
balance of borrowed funds of $5.1 million, or 8.9%, from $58.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 to $63.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2003. Offsetting the increase in the average balance was a 29 basis
point decrease in the average cost of borrowed funds from 4.59% for the 2002
period, to 4.30% for the 2003 period.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased by $460,000, or 13.3%, from $3.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2002, to $3.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2003. The average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities for the
period decreased 60 basis points from 3.00% in the 2002 period to 2.40% in the
2003 period. The average yield on total interest-earning assets for the period
decreased 60 basis points from 6.15% in the 2002 period to 5.55% in the 2003
period. The net interest rate spread remained unchanged at 3.15% from period to
period.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company made a $60,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended
March 31, 2003, compared to a $90,000 provision for loan losses for the three
months ended March 31, 2002. The provision for loan losses for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 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 $2.4 million and $2.3 million
at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The allowance for loan
losses as a percentage of loans was 1.12% and 1.08% at March 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, 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 $151,000, or 18.9%, to $948,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2003. Service charges on deposit accounts increased
$43,000, or 10.3%, reflecting overall growth in the depositor base, and the
introduction of new electronic banking services. In addition, the Company
realized a gain on the sale of securities of $89,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2003.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses increased $490,000, or 16.0%, from $3.1million for the
three months ended March 31, 2002, to $3.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2003. The increase resulted primarily from increases in salaries and
employee benefits, premises and equipment expense, and other expense for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 attributable to the Bank's branch expansion.
Income Taxes
Income taxes increased $71,000, or 18.9%, from $375,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2002, to $446,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as
a result of the increase in income before income taxes. The effective tax rates
for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and those ended March 31, 2002 were
35.9% and 34.3%, respectively.
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 March 31, 2003, the Company's average
minimum liquidity level was 26.6%.
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 12.0% of the Company's assets at March 31,
2003, 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 March 31, 2003, 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.
14
At March 31, 2003, convertible and medium term advances outstanding were as
follows:
Call Contractual
Amount Rate Date Maturity
------ ---- ---- --------
Convertible advance $ 14,000,000 5.49 % 05/19/2003 02/19/2008
Convertible advance 15,000,000 4.59 04/21/2003 01/21/2009

Medium term advance 5,000,000 3.99 12/13/2004 12/13/2004
---------
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 three months
ended March 31, 2003, and 2002, the Company's purchases of securities that were
classified available-for-sale totaled $268.8 million and $304.4 million,
respectively. Loan originations, net of principal repayments on loans, totaled
($2.8) million and $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and
2002, 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,
2002, 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 March 31, 2003, the Bank exceeded
those requirements with a leverage capital ratio, risk-based capital ratio and
total-risk based capital ratio of 5.54%, 9.71%, and 10.59%, respectively.
The Company achieves what it considers "capital adequacy" through the continuous
monitoring of its financial performance and plans for expansion. Sources of the
Company's capital are generated primarily through current period earnings and
the issuance of common stock via the dividend reinvestment plan or the exercise
of stock options. Uses of capital currently result from the payment of dividends
on common stock or the repurchase of common stock through a stock repurchase
program. In February 2003, the Board of Directors, suspended the current stock
repurchase program that had enabled the Company to repurchase 75,000 shares of
its outstanding common stock. There have been no repurchases made under this
stock purchase program since its announcement in May, 2001. In determining the
extent and timing of stock repurchase programs, the Company considers, in
addition to capital adequacy, the effect on the Company's financial condition,
average daily trading volume, and listing requirements applicable to the NASDAQ
National Market System. At March 31, 2003, the Company held 336,900 shares of
treasury stock at an average cost of $12.40 per share.
15
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.
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 March 31, 2003, 75.0% of the Company's gross loans had adjustable interest
rates and its loan portfolio had an average weighted maturity of 8.7 years. At
that date, $32.7 million, or 15.2%, of the Company's securities had adjustable
interest rates, and its securities portfolio had a weighted average maturity of
1.8 years. At March 31, 2003, the Company had $60.4 million of certificates of
deposit with maturities of one year or less and $12.8 million of deposits over
$100,000, which tend to be less stable sources of funding when compared to core
deposits, and which represented 21.9% 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 March 31, 2003, 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
--------------- -------- -------- --------- --------
