                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

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

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

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

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

     The Bank  offers a  variety  of  deposit  products  having a wide  range of
interest rates and terms.  The principal  products  include  checking  accounts,
money market type accounts,  savings accounts, escrow service and IOLA (interest
on lawyer) accounts, and time deposit accounts.

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


                                                                  
o    ATM Banking                                                     o    Payroll Services
o    Bank by Mail                                                    o    Safe Deposit Boxes
o    Bill Payment Using PC or Telephone Banking                      o    Securities Transactions
o    Collection Services                                             o    Signature Guarantee Services
o    Counter Checks and Certified Checks                             o    Telephone Banking
o    Drive-Through Banking                                           o    Travelers Checks
o    Gift Checks and Personal Money Orders                           o    Trust and Investment Management  Services
o    Internet PC Banking For Personal and Commercial Customers       o    U.S. Savings Bonds
o    Merchant Credit Card Depository Services                        o    Wire Transfers and Foreign Cables
o    Night Depository Services                                       o    Withholding Tax Depository Services


     The Investment  Division  provides  investment  management,  pension trust,
personal trust, estate, and custody services.

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

     In 2001, the Bank opened one new commercial banking office which is located
in Deer Park,  Long Island.  In January  2002,  the Bank closed its Cross Island
Plaza office after fifteen  months of operation  because the available  business
opportunities  were less than  anticipated.  In the coming years,  the Bank will
continue to search for  favorable  locations at which to establish new branches,
with continued emphasis on the commercial banking unit type.

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

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

     The Bank did not  commence,  abandon,  or  significantly  change any of its
lines of business during 2001.


                                       1


     The Bank encounters  substantial  competition in its banking  business from
numerous  other  banking   corporations   which  have  offices  located  in  the
communities  served by the Bank.  Principal  competitors  are  branches of large
banks,  such as Citibank,  J.P.  Morgan Chase & Co., Bank of New York, and Fleet
NA, and various Long Island based banks.

Lending Activities

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

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

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

     Except home equity  products,  loans from $300,000 to $750,000  require the
approval of the Management Loan Committee (home equity loans and lines have more
stringent  approval  requirements).  All loans in excess of $750,000 require the
approval  of the  Management  Loan  Committee  and two members of the Board Loan
Committee, one of whom must be a non-management director.

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

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

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

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

     In  processing  requests for  commercial  mortgage  loans,  the Bank almost
always  requires an  environmental  assessment  to identify the  possibility  of
environmental contamination. The extent of the assessment procedures varies from
property to property  and is based on factors such as whether or not the subject
property is an industrial


                                       2


building or has a suspected environmental risk based on current or past use.

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

     Consumer  Loans and  Lines.  The Bank makes auto  loans,  home  improvement
loans,  and other  consumer  loans,  establishes  revolving  overdraft  lines of
credit, and issues VISA(R) credit cards. Consumer loans and lines may be secured
or unsecured.  Consumer loans are generally  made on an  installment  basis over
terms not exceeding five years. In reviewing  loans and lines for approval,  the
Bank considers,  among other things,  ability to repay,  stability of employment
and residence, and past credit history.

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

     The accrual of interest on loans is generally  discontinued  when principal
or interest  payments  become past due 90 days or more. As of December 31, 2001,
the Bank did not have any impaired  loans or material  potential  problem  loans
except  for the  loans  disclosed  in  "Note  C" to its  consolidated  financial
statements.

     Economic  conditions  in the Bank's market area were  favorable  during the
2001 year. Future levels of past due, nonperforming, and restructured loans will
be affected by the strength of the local economy.

     Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is an amount that
management  currently  believes  will be adequate to absorb  estimated  inherent
losses in the Bank's loan  portfolio.  Changes in the Bank's  allowance for loan
losses for each of the five years in the period ended  December 31, 2001 and the
allocation  of the Bank's  allowance  for loan losses by loan type at the end of
each of these  years  can be found  in  "Note C -  Loans"  to the  Corporation's
consolidated financial statements which have been incorporated by reference into
"Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data" of this Form 10-K.

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

       The amount of future  chargeoffs  and  provisions for loan losses will be
affected by, among other things,  local  economic  conditions.  Such  conditions
affect the  financial  strength  of the Bank's  borrowers  and the value of real
estate  collateral  securing the Bank's  mortgage  loans.  In  addition,  future
provisions  and  chargeoffs  could be affected by  environmental  impairment  of
properties  securing the Bank's  mortgage  loans.  Loans  secured by real estate
represent  approximately  79% of total loans  outstanding  at December 31, 2001.
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.

  Investment Activities

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

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


                                       3


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

     At December 31, 2001,  the Bank had net  unrealized  gains of $5,455,000 in
its  held-to-maturity  portfolio,   consisting  of  gross  unrealized  gains  of
$5,856,000 and gross  unrealized  losses of $401,000.  The unrealized  gains and
losses were  principally  caused by decreases and  increases,  respectively,  in
interest rates since the securities were purchased. The Bank intends and expects
to be able to hold these  securities  to maturity  and  therefore  expects  that
neither the unrealized  gains nor the  unrealized  losses will ever be realized.

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

     Maturity  Information.  The maturities  and weighted  average yields of the
Bank's  investment  securities  at  December  31, 2001 can be found in "Note B -
Investment  Securities" to the Corporation's  consolidated  financial statements
which have been incorporated by reference into "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplemental Data" of this Form 10-K.

     The Bank received  dividends on its Federal Reserve Bank stock of $6,924 in
2002 representing a yield of 6.00%.

Sources of Funds

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

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

     Total  certificates  of deposits,  the majority of which mature  within one
year,  were  $34,618,000,  or 5.7% of total  deposits,  at  December  31,  2001.
Certificates  of  deposit in amounts of  $100,000  or more were  $13,596,000  at
December 31, 2001, or 2.2% of total deposits.

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

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

     Remaining  Maturities of Time  Deposits.  The  remaining  maturities of the
Bank's time  deposits in amounts of $100,000 or more at December 31, 2001 can be
found  in  "Note  E -  Deposits"  to the  Corporation's  consolidated  financial
statements  which have been  incorporated  by reference  into "Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplemental Data" of this Form 10-K.

Competition

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


                                       4


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

Employees

     As of December 31, 2001,  the Bank had 187 full-time  equivalent  employees
and considers employee  relations to be satisfactory.  Employees of the Bank are
not represented by a collective bargaining unit.

Regulation

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

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

     The Corporation's common stock trades on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market tier of
the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "FLIC".  The table appearing
on page 1 of the Corporation's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2001 showing the high and low sales prices,  by quarter,  for
the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 is incorporated herein by reference.

     On March 12, 2002, there were 2,788,564 shares of the Corporation's  common
stock  outstanding  with 705 holders of record.  The  holders of record  include
banks and brokers who act as nominees,  each of whom may represent more than one
stockholder.

     During 2001 and 2000, the Corporation  declared  semi-annual cash dividends
aggregating $.81 and $.72 per share, respectively.

     Trading in the  Corporation's  common stock is limited.  The total  trading
volume for 2001 as reported by Nasdaq was 356,272 shares,  with an average daily
volume of 1,437 shares.  During 2001, the Corporation  purchased  118,951 shares
under its share  repurchase  program,  84,000 of which were  purchased in market
transactions.  These market purchases  represent  approximately 24% of the total
trading  volume  reported by Nasdaq.  Although the  Corporation  has had a stock
repurchase program since 1988, if the Company  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  "Overview"  and
"Capital"  sections  of  Management's   Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  and  "Note  A"  to  the   Corporation's
