THE FIRST OF LONG ISLAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
JUNE 30, 2003
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation reflect banking
industry practice and conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported asset and
liability balances and revenue and expense amounts and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly
from those estimates. The results of operations for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The First of
Long Island Corporation (the "Corporation") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The
First National Bank of Long Island (the "Bank") (collectively referred to as the
"Corporation"). The Corporation's financial condition and operating results
principally reflect those of the Bank. All intercompany balances and amounts
have been eliminated. For further information refer to the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The consolidated financial information included herein as of and for the
periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 is unaudited; however, such information
reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
a fair statement of results for the interim periods. The December 31, 2002
consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Corporation's December 31, 2002
audited consolidated financial statements.

2. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At June 30, 2003, the Corporation had two stock option and appreciation
rights plans. The Corporation accounts for those plans under the recognition and
measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related Interpretations. No
stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income for stock
options, as all options granted under those plans have an exercise price equal
to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. If
there were any stock appreciation rights outstanding, compensation costs would
be recorded periodically based on the quoted market price of the Corporation's
stock at the end of the period.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation--Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148") in December 2002. SFAS
No. 148 amends the disclosure and certain transition provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation". The new disclosure provisions are effective for financial
statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and for financial
reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning
after December 15, 2002.

The following table provides the disclosures required by SFAS No. 148 and
illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Corporation
had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based
employee compensation.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN No. 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others." The Corporation adopted the disclosure provisions of FIN No. 45 in the
fourth quarter of 2002 and, for guarantees issued or modified after December 31,
2002, adopted the initial recognition and measurement provisions on January 1,
2003. Adoption of the initial recognition and measurement provisions did not
impact the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations at or for
the six months ended June 30, 2003.

While certain guarantees are only subject to the disclosure provisions of
this Interpretation, others are subject to both the disclosure and initial
recognition and measurement provisions. For guarantees that fall within the
scope of the initial recognition and measurement provisions, FIN No. 45 requires
a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the
fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Under the
previous accounting rules, the Bank did not record a liability when guaranteeing
obligations unless it became probable that the Bank would have to perform under
the guarantee.

The Bank issues financial and performance standby letters of credit, both
of which are subject to the disclosure and initial recognition and measurement
provisions of FIN No. 45. Financial and performance standby letters of credit
are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to assure the financial and
performance obligations of a customer to a third party. At June 30, 2003, the
Bank was contingently liable on financial and performance standby letters of
credit totaling $2,580,000 and $86,000, respectively, $1,993,000 of which were
originated in the first six months of this year. The Bank's commitments under
standby letters of credit expire at various dates through June 2004; however,
some are effectively automatically renewable. The Bank generally holds
collateral and/or obtains personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The
extent of collateral held for these commitments at June 30, 2003 varied from 0%
to 100%, and on a weighted average basis was 81%. In the event that the Bank is
required to fulfill its


6


contingent liability under a standby letter of credit, it could liquidate the
collateral held if any and/or enforce the personal guarantee(s) held, if any, to
recover all or a portion of the amount paid under the letter of credit.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN No.
46"). FIN No. 46, which is an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No.
51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", addresses the accounting and reporting
for variable interest entities, as defined. FIN No. 46 is not currently
applicable to the Corporation.

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149 "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 149"). SFAS No. 149 is
generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003
and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. All provisions of
this Statement shall be applied prospectively. Based on the Corporation's
current business operations, management expects that the provisions of SFAS No.
149 will not materially impact the Corporation's financial condition, results of
operations, or disclosures.

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS No.
150"). SFAS No. 150 is generally effective for financial instruments entered
into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of
the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Based on the
Corporation's current business operations, management expects that the
provisions of SFAS No. 150 will not impact the Corporation's financial
condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors that have affected the Corporation's financial condition and
operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with such financial
statements. The Corporation's financial condition and operating results
principally reflect those of its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First National
Bank of Long Island (the "Bank"). The Corporation's primary service area has
historically been Nassau and Suffolk Counties, Long Island. However, the Bank
opened three new commercial banking branches in Manhattan in the most recent
quarter.

Overview

The Corporation earned $1.34 per share for the first half of 2003 as
compared to $1.32 for the same period last year. Based on net income of
5,603,000, the Corporation returned 1.40% on average total assets ("ROA") and
13.26% on average total equity ("ROE"). This compares to returns on assets and
equity of 1.58% and 14.65%, respectively, for the first half of last year. Total
assets and deposits each grew by approximately 11% when comparing balances at
June 30, 2003 to those at June 30, 2002, and total capital before unrealized
gains and losses on available-for-sale securities grew by approximately 6%. The
Corporation's capital ratios continue to substantially exceed the current
regulatory criteria for a well-capitalized bank.

The most significant items positively affecting earnings for the six
months were a 14% increase in average checking balances and an unusually large
commercial mortgage prepayment fee received in the first quarter; the prepayment
fee, the recurrence of which is unlikely, is equivalent to approximately 8 cents
per share. In addition, the fee added .09% to ROA and .80% to ROE for the six
months ended June 30, 2003. Other important factors also favorably impacting
earnings were gains on sales of equity securities and continued growth in money
market type savings balances and residential mortgages.

Overwhelmingly, the most negative influence on earnings is the effects of
the severe decline in interest rates. On a sequential quarter-to-quarter basis,
after a modest uptick in the first quarter, net interest margin continued to
decrease. As we have cautioned in the past, sustained lower interest rates
should exacerbate the decline in our net interest margin and further negatively
impact our income. Also adversely affecting earnings, especially in the second
quarter, were expenses of our growth strategies, particularly the opening of our
three New York City branches.

(1) Tax-equivalent basis. Interest income on a tax-equivalent basis includes
the additional amount of interest income that would have been earned if
the Corporation's investment in tax-exempt loans and investment securities
had been made in loans and investment securities subject to Federal income
taxes yielding the same after-tax income. The tax-equivalent amount of
$1.00 of nontaxable income was $1.52 in each period presented, based on a
Federal income tax rate of 34%.

(2) For the purpose of these computations, nonaccruing loans are included in
the daily average loan amounts outstanding.

(3) Includes official check and treasury tax and loan balances.

As can be seen from the above table, net interest margin declined by .42%
when comparing the first half of 2003 to the same period last year. This decline
in net interest margin, when applied to average total interest-earning assets of
approximately $761 million for the first half of 2003, negatively impacted net
interest income by approximately $1.6 million. Also shown in the table is a
decline in net interest spread of .29% resulting from a decrease in the yield on
interest-earning assets of .62% accompanied by a less than offsetting decrease
in the cost of total interest-bearing deposits of .33%.


9


It should be noted that during the first quarter of 2003 the Bank
collected a $564,000 prepayment fee on one commercial mortgage. This fee, the
recurrence of which is unlikely, is included in interest income on loans. The
fee added .15% to net interest margin for the first half of 2003, .13% to net
interest spread, and .43% to loan yield.

The fundamental reason for the decreases in net interest margin and spread
was the very low interest rate environment. Proceeds from the maturity,
amortization, and prepayment of assets, primarily securities and loans, were
reinvested at lower rates and variable rate loans adjusted to lower rates. To
the extent that such assets were funded by noninterest-bearing checking deposits
and capital, there was no offsetting cost reduction. To the extent that such
assets were funded by interest-bearing deposits, there was a reduction in the
cost of such deposits but such reduction was not totally offsetting.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table sets forth the effect of changes
in volumes, changes in rates, and changes in rate/volume on tax-equivalent
interest income, interest expense and net interest income.

======= ======= ===== =====

(1) Tax-equivalent basis.

(2) Represents the change not solely attributable to change in rate or change
in volume but a combination of these two factors.

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis increased by $579,000, or
3.4%, from $17,170,000 for the first half of 2002 to $17,749,000 for the first
half of this year. As can be seen from the above rate/volume analysis, the
increase is primarily comprised of a positive volume variance of $2,259,000 and
a negative rate variance of $1,494,000. It should be noted that without the
large commercial mortgage prepayment fee previously discussed, net interest
income on a tax-equivalent basis would have been virtually flat when comparing
the six month periods and the negative rate variance for loans would have been
$564,000 higher.


10


Volume Variance. The positive volume variance was largely caused by
substantial growth in average checking deposits and the use of such funds to
purchase investment securities and originate loans. When comparing the first
half of 2003 to the same period last year, average checking deposits increased
by $31,263,000, or approximately 14%. Funding interest-earning asset growth with
growth in checking deposits has a greater impact on net interest income than
funding such growth with interest-bearing deposits because checking deposits,
unlike interest-bearing deposits, have no associated interest cost. This is the
primary reason that the growth of checking balances has historically been one of
the Corporation's key strategies for increasing earnings per share.

Also making a contribution to the positive volume variance was growth in
savings and money market type deposit balances and the use of such funds to
purchase investment securities and originate loans. When comparing the first
half of 2003 to the same period last year, average savings and money market
deposit balances increased by $46,967,000, or almost 13%. Although the largest
components of this increase were growth in "Select Savings", a statement savings
account that earns a higher money market rate, and nonpersonal money market
accounts, the Bank also experienced nice growth in traditional savings, IOLA
(interest on lawyer) accounts, and escrow service accounts.

The Bank's new business program is a significant factor that favorably
impacted the growth in average checking balances. Competitive pricing, customer
demographics, and troubled conditions in the equity markets are believed to be
important factors with respect to the growth in average interest-bearing
deposits. In addition, the growth in checking and interest-bearing deposits is
also believed to be attributable to the Bank's attention to customer service as
well as national and local economic conditions.

Rate Variance. Interest rates began to decline in early 2001. By the end
of the year, short-term interest-rates had fallen significantly as evidenced by
a reduction in both the federal funds target rate and the Bank's prime lending
rate of 4.75%. During 2002, there were no further reductions in short-term rates
until November when both the federal funds target rate and the Bank's prime
lending rate declined by an additional .50%. Rates on intermediate and
longer-term securities and loans also declined during 2001 and 2002, but by
contrast to short-term rates, the magnitude of the decline was far more
significant in 2002. In addition, the largest portion of the decrease occurred
in the latter half of the year. During the first half of 2003, longer-term rates
continued to erode. In addition, in late June 2003, the federal funds target
rate and the Bank's prime lending rate were reduced further, by an additional
..25%. Although both short and long-term rates are now at extremely low levels,
they could still decline even further.

As a result of the sharp decrease in interest rates, net interest margin
trended downward during the latter half of 2002 as interest-earning assets
repriced at lower yields and proceeds from the maturity, amortization and
prepayment of such assets were reinvested at lower yields without an equal and
offsetting reduction in the cost of funds. Excluding the effect of the large
prepayment fee, there was a modest uptick in net interest margin for the first
quarter of 2003 followed by a continuation of the downward trend for the second
quarter. It should be noted that a portion of the decline in the Bank's net
interest margin was caused by an acceleration of prepayments on mortgage
securities and the resulting need to amortize premiums on these securities
faster.

If available yields remain at relatively low levels or decrease even
further, and assets continue to reprice and be reinvested at lower yields
without an offsetting reduction in the cost of funds, the Bank's net interest
margin will continue downward which trend could


11


become more severe. In addition, the rate variance as depicted in the preceding
table should become more negative. This obviously exerts a great deal of
pressure on earnings.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported asset and liability
balances and revenue and expense amounts. Our determination of the allowance for
loan losses is a critical accounting estimate because it is based on our
subjective evaluation of a variety of factors at a specific point in time. As
discussed more fully in the Allowance and Provision For Loan Losses section
below, some of the factors we evaluate in determining an appropriate allowance
for loans losses include expected future cash flows and/or collateral values on
loans considered to be impaired, national and local economic conditions, the
strength of the local real estate market, and environmental risks. Changes in
the estimated impact of these factors on the ultimate collectibility of loans in
the Bank's portfolio could require a significant change in the allowance, and
this change could have a material impact on the Bank's results of operations.

Asset Quality

The Corporation has identified certain assets as risk elements. These
assets include nonaccruing loans, foreclosed real estate, loans that are
contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments and
still accruing and troubled debt restructurings. These assets present more than
the normal risk that the Corporation will be unable to eventually collect or
realize their full carrying value. The Corporation's risk elements at June 30,
2003 and December 31, 2002 are as follows:

Allowance and Provision For Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses grew by $137,000 during the first half of
2003, amounting to $2,222,000 at June 30, 2003 as compared to $2,085,000 at
December 31, 2002. The allowance represented approximately .8% of total loans at
both dates. During the first six months of 2003, the Bank had loan chargeoffs
and recoveries of $27,000 and $14,000, respectively, and recorded a $150,000
provision 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. The process for estimating credit losses and determining the
allowance for loan losses as of any


12


balance sheet date is subjective in nature and requires material estimates.
Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

In determining the allowance for loan losses, there is not an exact amount
but rather a range for what constitutes an appropriate allowance. In estimating
losses the Bank reviews individual credits in its portfolio and, for those loans
deemed to be impaired, measures impairment losses based on either the fair value
of collateral or the discounted value of expected future cash flows. Estimated
losses for loans that are not specifically reviewed are 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. Management also considers
relevant loan loss statistics for the Bank's peer group. The estimated losses on
the loans specifically reviewed plus those determined on a pooled basis make up
the allocated component of the allowance for loan losses. The unallocated or
general component of the allowance for loan losses could 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. Loans secured by
real estate represent approximately 83% of the Bank's total loans outstanding at
June 30, 2003. The majority of these loans were made to borrowers domiciled on
Long Island and are secured by Long Island properties. In recent years, economic
conditions on Long Island have been good and residential real estate values have
grown to unprecedented highs. Such conditions and values could deteriorate in
the future, and such deterioration could be substantial. If this were to occur,
some of the Bank's borrowers may be unable to make the required contractual
payments on their loans, and the Bank may be unable to realize the full carrying
value of such loans through foreclosure. However, management believes that the
Bank's underwriting policies for residential mortgages are relatively
conservative and, as a result, the Bank should be less affected than the overall
market.

Future provisions and chargeoffs could also be affected by environmental
impairment of properties securing the Bank's mortgage loans. Environmental
audits for commercial mortgages were instituted by the Bank in 1987. 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.

Noninterest Income, Noninterest Expense, and Income Taxes

Noninterest income includes service charges on deposit accounts,
Investment Management Division income, gains or losses on sales of
available-for-sale securities, and all other items of income, other than
interest, resulting from the business activities of the Corporation. When
comparing the first six months of 2003 to the same period last year, noninterest
income increased by $194,000, or 6.9%. The increase is primarily comprised of
gains on sales of available-for-sale equity securities of $233,000 during the
first half of 2003 as partially offset by a $110,000 decrease in service charges
on deposit accounts. The decrease in service charges is believed to be partially
attributable to the


13


fact that in a low interest rate environment customers tend to keep higher
balances and thereby incur lower service charges.

Noninterest expense is comprised of salaries, employee benefits, occupancy
and equipment expense and other operating expenses incurred in supporting the
various business activities of the Corporation. Noninterest expense increased by
$809,000, or 7.5%, from $10,748,000 for the first half of 2002 to 11,557,000 for
the same period this year. The increase is comprised of an increase in salaries
of $276,000, an increase in employee benefits expense of $189,000, an increase
in occupancy and equipment expense of $128,000, and an increase in other
operating expenses of $216,000.

The increase in salaries is primarily attributable to normal annual salary
increases. The increase in employee benefit expense is largely attributable to
increases in retirement plan expense and the cost of group health insurance. The
increase in occupancy and equipment expense was principally caused by increases
in rent expense and maintenance costs. The largest component of the increase in
other operating expenses is an increase in general insurance expense due
primarily to conditions in the insurance marketplace and increased levels of
liability coverage. In addition, a portion of the increase in each category of
expense resulted from the Bank's three new commercial banking branches in
Manhattan.

Income tax expense as a percentage of book income ("effective tax rate")
was 25.0% for the first half of 2003 as compared to 25.9% for the same period
last year. These percentages vary from the statutory Federal income tax rate of
34% primarily because of state income taxes and tax-exempt interest on municipal
securities. The decrease in the Bank's effective tax rate is largely
attributable to the fact that income on tax-exempt securities became a larger
component of the Bank's gross income.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 Versus June 30, 2002

Net income for the second quarter of 2003 was $2,510,000, or $.60 per
share, as compared to $2,967,000, or $.70 per share, earned for the same quarter
last year. The decrease in net income is largely comprised of a decrease in net
interest income of $383,000 and an increase in noninterest expense of $425,000.

Despite very good growth in checking balances and money market type
savings balances, net interest income declined because of the decrease in
interest rates and the resulting negative impact on net interest margin. Net
interest income was more adversely affected by low interest rates in the second
quarter of 2003 than the first. First quarter 2003 net interest margin was
significantly helped by the large commercial mortgage prepayment fee previously
discussed and the .50% reduction in the federal funds rate in December 2002. The
rate cut produced a short-term benefit because the Bank has more liabilities
than assets subject to immediate repricing with changes in short-term interest
rates.

The increase in noninterest expense is largely comprised of increases in
salaries and other operating expenses. The increase in salaries is primarily
attributable to normal annual salary increases. The largest components of the
increase in other operating expenses are increases in general insurance expense
and marketing expense. The reasons for the increase in general insurance expense
are the same as those discussed with respect to the six month periods. A portion
of the increase in both salaries and other operating expenses resulted from the
Bank's three new commercial banking branches in Manhattan.

Capital

The Corporation's capital management policy is designed to build and
maintain capital levels that exceed regulatory standards. Under current
regulatory capital standards, banks are classified as well capitalized,
adequately capitalized or undercapitalized. Under such standards, a well
capitalized bank is one that has a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or
greater than 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 6%,
and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5%. The
Corporation's total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 1
leverage capital ratios of 27.85%, 27.11% and 10.06%, respectively, at June 30,
2003 substantially exceed the requirements for a well-capitalized bank.

Total stockholders' equity increased by $1,264,000, or from $85,442,000 at
December 31, 2002 to $86,706,000 at June 30, 2003. Net income for the first half
of 2003 was the largest contributor to the growth in stockholders' equity.
However, amounts expended for share repurchases largely offset the contribution
made by net income.

Stock Repurchase Program. Since 1988, the Corporation has had a stock
repurchase program under which it can purchase, from time to time, shares of its
own common stock in market or private transactions. During the first half of
2003, the Corporation purchased 122,085 shares under plans approved by the Board
of Directors in 2002 and during the first quarter of 2003. Including a 50,000
share plan approved in April 2003, the Corporation is authorized to purchase
60,957 shares.

The stock repurchase program has been used by management to enhance
earnings per share. When comparing the first six months of 2003 to the same
period last year, earnings per share are up 2 cents. Without the impact of the
shares purchased in 2002 and thus far this year, earnings would have been flat.
On a full-year basis, these repurchases should add approximately 6 cents to
earnings per share.

Market Liquidity. Trading in the Corporation's common stock is limited.
The total trading volume for the twelve months ended June 30, 2003 as reported
by Nasdaq was 1,273,584 shares, with an average daily volume of 5,054 shares.
During this same twelve month period, the Corporation purchased 147,598 shares
under its share repurchase program, 123,900 of which were purchased in market
transactions. These market purchases represent approximately 9.7% of the total
trading volume reported by Nasdaq. Although the Corporation has had a stock
repurchase program since 1988, if the Company reduces or discontinues the
program it could adversely affect market liquidity for the Corporation's common
stock, the price of the Corporation's common stock, or both.

Russell 3000(R) and 2000(R) Indices. Frank Russell Company ("Russell")
currently maintains 21 U.S. common stock indices. The indices are reconstituted
each July 1st using objective criteria, primarily market capitalization, and do
not reflect subjective opinions. All indices are subsets of the Russell 3000(R)
Index which represents most of the investable U. S. equity market.

The broad market Russell 3000(R) Index includes the largest 3,000
companies in terms of market capitalization and the small cap Russell 2000(R)
Index is comprised of the smallest 2,000 companies in the Russell 3000(R) Index.
The Corporation's capitalization, as computed by Russell, would place it at the
low end of the range for both the Russell 3000(R) and 2000(R) Indices.


15


Effective July 1, 2002, and for the first time in its history, the
Corporation's common stock was included in the Russell 3000(R) and 2000(R)
Indices. At the July 1, 2003 reconstitution date, the Corporation's common stock
was once again included in the Russell Indices. The Corporation believes that
inclusion in the Russell Indices has positively impacted the price of its common
stock and has increased the stock's trading volume and liquidity. Conversely, if
the Corporation's market capitalization falls below the minimum necessary to be
included in the Indices at any future reconstitution date, the Corporation
believes that this could adversely affect the price, volume and liquidity of its
common stock.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Cash Flows. During the first half of 2003, cash and cash equivalents
increased by $24,337,000. This occurred primarily because the cash provided from
maturities and pay downs of investment securities, checking growth, money market
type deposit growth, and operations exceeded the cash used for loan and
securities portfolio growth and share repurchases.

Liquidity. The Corporation's primary sources of liquidity are its
overnight position in federal funds sold; its short-term investment securities
portfolio which generally consists of securities purchased to mature within two
years and securities with average lives of approximately two years; maturities
and monthly payments on the balance of the investment securities portfolio and
the loan portfolio; and longer-term investment securities designated as
available-for-sale. In addition, the Corporation has the ability to borrow on a
secured and/or an unsecured basis to meet liquidity needs.

At June 30, 2003, the Corporation had $59,000,000 in federal funds sold, a
short-term securities portfolio not subject to pledge agreements of
$134,679,000, and longer-term available-for-sale securities not subject to
pledge agreements of $122,138,000. The Corporation's liquidity is enhanced by
its stable deposit base which primarily consists of checking, savings, and money
market accounts. Such accounts comprised 95.1% of total deposits at June 30,
2003, while time deposits of $100,000 and over and other time deposits comprised
only 2.6% and 2.3%, respectively.

The Bank attracts all of its deposits through its banking offices
primarily from the communities in which those banking offices are located and
does not rely on brokered deposits. In addition, the Bank has not historically
relied on purchased or borrowed funds as sources of liquidity.

Legislation

Commercial checking deposits currently account for approximately 28% of
the Bank's total deposits. Congress is considering legislation that would allow
corporate customers to cover checks by sweeping funds from interest-bearing
deposit accounts each business day and repeal the prohibition of the payment of
interest on corporate checking deposits in the future. Although management
currently believes that the Bank's earnings could be more severely impacted by
permitting the payment of interest on corporate checking deposits than the daily
sweeping of funds from interest-bearing accounts to cover checks, either could
have a material adverse impact on the Bank's future results of operations.

Forward Looking Statements

"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations" contains various forward-looking statements with respect to
financial


16


performance and business matters. Such statements are generally contained in
sentences including the words "expect" or "could" or "should" or "would" or
"believe". The Corporation cautions that these forward-looking statements are
subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and therefore actual
results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking
statements. In addition, the Corporation assumes no duty to update
forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Bank invests in interest-earning assets which are funded by
interest-bearing deposits, noninterest-bearing deposits, and capital. The Bank's
results of operations are subject to risk resulting from interest rate
fluctuations generally and having assets and liabilities that have different
maturity, repricing, and prepayment/withdrawal characteristics. The Bank defines
interest rate risk as the risk that the Bank's earnings and/or net portfolio
value will change when interest rates change. The principal objective of the
Bank's asset/liability management activities is to maximize net interest income
while at the same time maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate and
liquidity risk and facilitating the funding needs of the Bank.

Because the Bank's loans and investment securities generally reprice
slower than its interest-bearing deposit accounts, a decrease in interest rates
uniformly across the yield curve should initially have a positive impact on the
Bank's net interest income. However, if the Bank does not decrease the rates
paid on its money market type deposit accounts as quickly or in the same amount
as market decreases in the overnight federal funds rate or the prime lending
rate, the magnitude of the positive impact will decline. In addition, rates may
decrease to the point that the Bank can not reduce its money market rates any
further.

If interest rates decline and are sustained at the lower levels and, as a
result, the Bank purchases securities at lower yields and loans are originated
or repriced at lower yields, the impact on net interest income should be
negative because 41% of the Bank's average interest-earning assets are funded by
noninterest-bearing checking deposits and capital.

Conversely, an immediate increase in interest rates uniformly across the
yield curve should initially have a negative effect on net interest income.
However, if the Bank does not increase the rates paid on its money market type
deposit accounts as quickly or in the same amount as market increases in the
overnight federal funds rate, the prime lending rate, and other short-term
market rates, the magnitude of the negative impact will decline. Over a longer
period of time, and assuming that interest rates remain stable after the initial
rate increase and the Bank purchases securities and originates loans at yields
higher than those maturing and reprices loans at higher yields, the impact of an
increase in interest rates should be positive. This occurs primarily because
with the passage of time more loans and investment securities will reprice at
the higher rates and there will be no offsetting increase in interest expense
for those loans and investment securities funded by noninterest-bearing checking
deposits and capital.

It is believed that the Corporation's interest rate risk profile has not
changed materially since December 31, 2002.

Item 4. Submission Of Matters To A Vote Of Security Holders

qualified.

For the election of directors, each share is entitled to as many votes as

one nominee or divided among as many different nominees as is desired. If
authority to vote for any nominee or nominees is withheld on any proxy, the
votes are spread among the remaining nominees. The following table lists the
Class I directors elected at the annual meeting and, for each director elected,
the number of votes cast for and the number of votes withheld. No other persons

Item 5. Other Information

a) Stock Repurchase Program And Market Liquidity

Trading in the Corporation's common stock is limited. The total trading
volume for the twelve months ended June 30, 2003 as reported by Nasdaq was
1,273,854 shares, with an average daily volume of 5,054 shares. During this same
twelve month period, the Corporation purchased 147,598 shares under its share
repurchase program, 123,900 of which were purchased in market transactions.
These market purchases represent approximately 9.7% of the total trading volume
reported by Nasdaq. Although the Corporation has had a stock repurchase program
since 1988, if the Company reduces or


19


discontinues the program it could adversely affect market liquidity for the
Corporation's common stock, the price of the Corporation's common stock, or
both.

For a further discussion of the Corporation's share repurchase program,
including its impact on earnings per share, please see the "Capital" section of
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.

b) Addition To Board of Directors

In accordance with the Corporation's and the Bank's By-Laws, Alex L. Cover
was elected to serve as a director of both entities effective June 17, 2003. He
was also selected to be a member of the Corporation's and the Bank's Audit
Committee. Mr. Cover will serve as a Class II director of the Corporation until
the next annual meeting of stockholders.

Mr. Cover is currently an independent business consultant providing
strategic planning and financial management advisory services to his clients.
Previously he spent twenty eight years with Ernst & Young, an international
public accounting firm, where he retired as a partner. During his career with
Ernst & Young, he served as partner in charge of services to financial
institutions on Long Island and also coordinated management consulting
engagements, including strategic planning, quality control, process improvement,
ethics, and best business practices.
