TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am pleased to report on the year 1995 for The First of Long Island.
After giving effect to the stock split discussed below, earnings per share were
$2.91 in 1995 compared to $2.83 in 1994. Total net income was $6,208,500 for
1995 versus $6,027,600 in the previous year, and total assets were $425,700,000
at December 31, 1995. For the seventeenth consecutive year, The First of Long
Island increased cash dividends. The dividend was enhanced to 29.3 cents (after
the stock split) from 26.7 cents that was declared in June, an increase of 10
percent. For all of 1995, total cash dividends declared were 56 cents, a growth
of 10 1/2 percent over 1994. In addition, as mentioned above, the Board of
Directors declared a 3-for-2 stock split to shareholders of record January 8,
1996. The split was effectuated by means of a 50 percent stock dividend. The
additional shares were mailed to shareholders on February 2, 1996.
We were again exceptionally gratified by the growth in checking balances.
On average, the balances were $10,700,000 greater in 1995 than in 1994. The
principal reason for this increase was the successful sales results from our
commercial account solicitation efforts. As our shareholders know, our most
important marketing strategy is the solicitation of checking account
relationships from privately owned businesses and professionals. The growth in
our checking balances was the major contributor to increased earnings in 1995.
Earnings also were favorably impacted by a substantial reduction in FDIC
insurance premiums and the lack of security losses in this most recent year.
Total loans increased slightly in 1995 over 1994, with good growth in our
consumer loans. However, we were disappointed in the results for the commercial
mortgage area, as we fell short of plan. It was a particularly difficult
climate to successfully solicit these mortgages where both quality and quantity
seemed to decline. Our money market savings showed favorable results over the
year, more than offsetting the decline in traditional savings balances.
Historically, we have offered a premium money market rate compared to our bank
competitors. Of course, money market savings balances do not have the same
advantage in interest rate spread that traditional savings balances do.
The interest rate environment for us in 1995 was a difficult one as
interest rates declined to lower levels. The axioms which we believed governed
the Bank's interest rate spreads a few years ago no longer seem true. After
holding relatively steady for some years, our net interest margin declined from
5.34% in 1994 to 5.18% in 1995. There is a reasonable likelihood, at this
writing, that the trend will continue in 1996. Despite the frustration of a
declining margin, 1995, however, was the third consecutive year our return on
assets equaled or exceeded 1.50 percent.
In February 1995, we opened our fourteenth branch office in Valley Stream.
So far, we are very pleased with the growth of this commercial banking office
which is exceeding expectations. In January 1996, we opened another commercial
banking office. This latest addition is on Northern Boulevard in Great Neck and
brings our total number of offices to fifteen. It is our present expectation
that new offices in the foreseeable future will be of the commercial banking
type. As our shareholders might recall, we had planned to open a full service
office in Garden City. After approximately two

frustrating years and a considerable amount of work, we decided to forego this
location. A major factor was our inability to obtain a satisfactory license
agreement from the Village to use a small piece of their property for a drive-
in.
During the year, as we announced, we were pleased to add Dr. William J.
Catacosinos to our Board of Directors, whose name is submitted to you in the
proxy statement for a full term. We were sorry to lose the services of Stephen
V. Murphy as a director who resigned during the year. We will particularly miss
his financial acumen. It is our present intention to add an additional member
to our Board during 1996.
As we have all read and heard, banking is undergoing enormous changes,
especially in our marketplace. Significant mergers have already taken place and
more are planned. We have always believed that it is difficult for a very large
institution to provide the privately owned business, service conscious consumer
and professional with a consistent high level of service. We provide a quality
of service that we believe is not approached by our competition. Although we
will always face the vagaries of interest rates and the economy, our confidence
in the future of our Bank, and the particular market we serve, continues
unabated. Our efforts will remain directed to the consistent solicitation of
commercial checking relationships, commercial mortgages, selected consumer
loans, and trust and investment management services. We also expect to open
additional commercial banking offices, perhaps at a faster pace then in past
years.
We are steadfast in our commitment to "Excellence" and we will continue to
work diligently to ensure that it pervades every part of our organization--from
the quality of products offered, to the look of our branches, and most
importantly, where it all begins and ends: with our people. As a shareholder
of The First of Long Island, we hope you will take advantage of all the services
of your Bank, whether it be account and loan services or the sophisticated
assistance of our Trust and Investment Services Department.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and supplementary data appearing elsewhere in this
report. The purpose of this narrative is to provide a better understanding of
the Corporation's financial performance.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
At December 31, 1995 total assets amounted to $425.7 million compared to
$396.1 million in 1994. Average assets rose from $390.5 million in 1994 to
$411.7 million in 1995, an increase of 5.4%. The following table, along with
the succeeding narrative, presents the average daily balances of assets,
liabilities, and equity and how these sources and uses of funds were managed
during the periods presented:

DEPOSITS
Deposits continue as the Corporation's largest and most important source of
funds. Average total deposits increased by $16,002,000 in 1995 and $11,385,000
in 1994, or 4.6% and 3.4%, respectively.
Demand deposits are looked upon as the Corporation's most important source
of income, the increase of which is a constant major goal. During the past
year, demand deposit balances showed a good increase, largely the result of
marketing solicitation. Management is gratified by the results attained.
Demand deposit averages rose by $10,681,000 or 10.2% over 1994, accounting for
most of the total deposit growth. The Corporation's ability to hold and
increase its demand deposit base has contributed substantially to its
profitability over the years. For the years 1995, 1994, and 1993, average
demand deposits were 28%, 27%, and 25%, respectively, of average assets.
Savings, NOW, money market and other time deposits, in aggregate, also showed
growth in average as well as year end balances. The overall year end balances
of all deposit categories reflect an increase of $22,428,000 or 6.4% over 1994.
The composition of the various deposit categories are presented in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets and in Note F to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The retention of earnings also played an important role as a contributing
factor as a source of funds. This contribution is reflected in an average
increase of $4,903,000 or 12.0% in stockholders' equity.
4 The First of Long Island Corporation
A substantial deposit base coupled with increased capital resources allowed
the Corporation to maintain its long-standing, non-reliant position on purchased
funds or borrowed money as sources of funds. Brokered deposits are neither
maintained nor solicited.
The Corporation has no demand deposits on which interest is paid. Interest
is paid, however, on NOW Accounts (Negotiable Orders of Withdrawal) which are
carried in the Savings, NOW, and Money Market category of deposits and perform a
similar function to checking accounts.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The primary use of funds by the Corporation is through its investment
portfolio. For the calendar year just ended, the portfolio was 51.0% of total
assets.
On average, investment securities balances decreased $2,946,000 or 1.4%
during 1995. U.S. Treasuries make up the bulk of taxable securities, followed
by U.S. Government Agencies, and collateralized mortgage obligations. U.S.
Government Agencies consist solely of modified pass-through, mortgage-backed
securities of federal agencies at year end 1995. Collateralized mortgage
obligations, commonly referred to as CMO's or REMIC's, are backed by federal
agency pass-throughs, virtually all from the Government National Mortgage
Association. The Corporation does not own any "interest only, principal only,
or high risk mortgage-backed securities" as defined in the 1991 Federal
Financial Institutions Examination Council Supervisory Policy Statement on
Securities Activities. Municipal securities are comprised of various "bank-
qualified" issues.
Investment securities are further categorized internally into two
segments--short term and intermediate term. Short term securities are those
investments purchased to mature approximately within one year. Intermediate
term securities, except for municipals, are usually purchased with a maturity of
about five years or less for U.S. Treasuries and a maximum expected average life
for mortgage-backed securities of usually no more than six years. Municipals, in
almost all cases, are purchased with maturities not exceeding twelve years.
Both short term and intermediate term segments generally consist of the
categories mentioned above, with short term investments including overnight
federal funds sold and commercial paper and, occasionally, bankers acceptances.
For the current year, overnight federal funds sold averaged $33,140,000. Levels
of short term investments are maintained relative to operational needs and
interest rate sensitivity. For 1995, average balances of short term investments
were $57,495,000 versus $39,816,000 in 1994. The investment securities
portfolio is further detailed in Note B to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Yields on investment securities originally purchased for intermediate terms
remained relatively level at a 6.77% tax equivalent yield for 1995 as compared
to 6.78% for 1994. In general during 1995, investment yields in the market
declined with regard to the entire yield curve from levels available in 1994.
The Corporation generally adheres to a "laddered structure" in its intermediate
investment portfolio. A brief discussion of rate changes is included in the
Liquidity/Sensitivity Analysis/Interest Rate Risk section.
At December 31, 1995, the aggregate market value of the investment
securities portfolio was $2,551,000 or 1.2%, above the amortized cost. Of this
amount, $3,194,000 represented gross unrealized gains while $643,000 represented
gross unrealized losses. A year earlier, the market value was $8,858,000 or
4.1% below the amortized cost. The swing from a position of depreciation of a
year ago to the current position of appreciation is attributable to the
decreasing interest rates during the year with an attendant increase in market
value.
Adhering to its long-standing policy, the Corporation has not maintained
nor has any present intention of maintaining a trading account. Further, the
Corporation does not purchase any noninvestment grade securities other than
occasionally from local municipal issuers.
LOANS
The second major use of funds by the Corporation is for the support of
lending activities. Loans at year end 1995 were 34% of total assets. Loans are
granted to diverse borrowers within the Corporation's market area. Loan growth
during the year was less than goal, presumably the result largely of a slow-to-
recover local economy. Average outstandings as well as year end outstandings
showed modest growth over 1994. Average net outstandings exceeded the previous
year by $2,273,000 or 1.6%, compared with the previous year's growth of
$8,871,000 or 6.9%. Current year end outstandings totaled $146,670,000,
reflecting an increase of $2,198,000 or 1.5% over the similar previous period.
Changes at year end were comprised of the following: commercial loans increased
$2,244,000 or 11.4%; real estate loans decreased slightly by $757,000 or 0.7%;
and installment loans showed an increase of $710,000 or 7.9%. The decline in
real estate loans was attributable to a decline in the commercial mortgage
portfolio. Real estate loans are made up of mortgage loans and equity lines of
credit, with commercial mortgages accounting for the largest part. For the
years 1995, 1994, and 1993, average net loans represented approximately 39%,
40%, and 38%, respectively, of average total deposits.
As has been its policy, the Corporation refrains from participation in any
high yield financings or foreign loans. Additionally, there are no significant
loan concentrations in
The First of Long Island Corporation 5
specific industries. Commercial mortgage loans make up the largest category of
loans and represent 16.0% of total assets. The primary market for commercial
loans is to privately owned businesses and professionals in Nassau and Suffolk
Counties. The Corporation does not engage in transactions commonly known as
leveraged buy-outs of publicly held companies. In 1996, the Corporation will
continue its strategy of emphasizing the solicitation of mortgage loans, more
specifically in the commercial end.
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (SFAS No. 114). In
October 1994, this Statement was amended by Statement No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures" (SFAS
No. 118), as described in Note A to Consolidated Financial Statements. Both
pronouncements were adopted by the Corporation on January 1, 1995. In
management's opinion, the adoption of both pronouncements was immaterial.
Nothing from the composition of the portfolio would cause the Corporation to
take any action with regard to SFAS No. 114 as amended by SFAS No. 118. There
has been no adverse effect on the Corporation's financial position or results of
operations.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Maintenance of the allowance for loan losses is through provisions which
are based on management's evaluation of risks inherent in its loan portfolio.
Mostly because of the current level of the allowance for loan losses, as well as
current satisfactory credit quality, and low levels of nonperforming and
charged-off loans, the Corporation's view was that no provision was necessary
during 1995. This position parallels that of 1994 where no provision was made,
and compares with a $175,000 provision in 1993.
Management continually evaluates allowance levels. In determining the
necessity of provisions, consideration is given to recent loan charge-offs,
concerns for any other loans requiring special attention (whether or not such
other loans were 90 days past due, nonaccrual, or restructured), and information
available through which management estimates potential losses. In evaluating the
allowance account, management considers numerous factors: historical losses; a
borrower's ability to repay; the value of any related collateral; levels of and
trends in delinquencies and nonaccruals; 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. Especially in evaluating real estate mortgage
collateral, principally for classified loans, the Corporation considers present
real estate values, the condition of the real estate, and the possibility of
such real estate being affected by environmental contamination on or near the
mortgaged property. Since 1987, environmental audits have been instituted, and
the scope of these audits have been increased over the succeeding years. Under
the Corporation'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 Corporation 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.
At December 31, 1995, the allowance for loan losses account was $3,600,000
compared to similar amounts for both 1994 and 1993. The ratios between the
allowance for loan losses and total outstanding loans at those same periods were
2.45%, 2.49%, and 2.62%, respectively. For the year just ended, the Corporation
recorded net charge-offs of a very nominal $132 compared with net recoveries of
$10,523 for 1994, and net charge-offs of $87,879 for 1993. Other real estate
owned (OREO) at year end was comprised of one property and amounted to $153,041
net of reserves. Nonaccrual loans at year end 1995 were $842,991 which is 0.6%
of total loans; nonaccrual loans at year end 1994 were $515,803 which is 0.4% of
total loans. Note C to Consolidated Financial Statements provides, among other
things, additional disclosure concerning 90 days past due, nonaccrual, and
restructured loans.
Except for the loans disclosed above, management is not aware of any loans
classified for regulatory purposes that presently represent or result from
trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will materially
alter future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources. Management
continues to maintain caution, however, over general economic conditions. Since
there is the possibility of adverse changes in economic conditions and loan
quality, delinquencies and losses in the loan portfolio could require future
provisions, thus adversely affecting results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The First of Long Island Corporation's net income for 1995 was $6,208,492
or $2.91 per share compared to net income of $6,027,648 or $2.83 per share for
1994.
The Corporation's income for 1993 was $5,547,941 or $2.59 per share before
the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles (SFAS No. 109 as
mentioned in Note A to Consolidated Financial Statements). This change
increased net income by $650,000 or $.30 per share to $6,197,941 or $2.89 per
share.
Major factors contributing to the favorable earnings performance for 1995
were increases in checking deposit balances, decrease in losses on securities
sold, and a refund and reduction in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) premium. The following table presents the major components of net income
with period-to-period comparisons:

Net earning assets increased on average by $18.7 million or 5.2% from
$362.9 million in 1994 to $381.6 million in 1995. Funding for this asset growth
was largely the result of a $10.6 million average increase in checking deposits
which, in effect, benefited net interest income. Net interest income is the
most significant contributing factor to operating results. It is the difference
between interest and origination fees collected on interest earning assets less
interest paid on interest bearing liabilities, and is affected mostly by the
volume and mix of those assets and liabilities along with the respective yields
and rates paid. In 1995, net interest income amounted to $19.1 million, an
increase of 2.3% over 1994. The following table presents the components of net
interest income for the years 1995, 1994, and 1993:

The net interest margin for 1995 was 5.18% compared with 5.34% in 1994.
The net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of
total average earning assets. The decline occurred throughout 1995 as the
interest rate paid on deposits in total increased more than the yield on earning
assets.
As mentioned previously, no provision for loan losses was made in 1995, nor
was any provision made in 1994.
Results of operations are measured by various ratios. Two highly
recognized ratios are the return on average assets (ROA) and the return on
average stockholders' equity (ROE). Return on average assets was 1.51% in 1995,
1.54% in 1994, and 1.65% in 1993. Return on average stockholders' equity was
13.52% in 1995, 14.70% in 1994, and 16.72% in 1993. For 1993, however, the
ratios include the benefit of $650,000 from the adoption of SFAS No. 109,
previously mentioned. Without regard to this change, the ratios for 1993 were
1.48% and 15.16%, respectively. Both the ROA and ROE ratios of the Corporation
compare favorably with industry averages and the performance of peer groups.
Other income consists of noninterest income and gains and losses on
securities transactions. This category reflected an overall net increase of
$533,000 or 17.1% in 1995. A significant component of the change was an
increase in service charges on deposit accounts of $143,000 or 7.6%, due
largely to price changes. Another significant component of the change was a
gain on securities transactions of $3,800 in 1995 compared with $290,000 in
losses for 1994.
Other expenses, which consist of noninterest expenses, showed an increase
of $502,000 or 3.9%. The largest components of the net change was an increase
in salaries and employee benefits of $695,000 or 9.2%, and a decrease in FDIC
insurance expense of $344,000 or 46.2%. The latter factor was a result of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation reaching its full-funded status and
reducing the rate of insurance for the Corporation from 23 cents to 4 cents per
hundred dollars of deposits from June l, through December 31, 1995.
Income tax expense as a percentage of pretax income (the effective rate)
was 34.3% in 1995 compared with 32.9% in 1994.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
At year end 1995, total stockholders' equity was $49,340,664 compared with
$42,607,605 at year end 1994, an increase of $6,733,059 or 15.8%. Most of the
increase was accounted for through net earnings retained. Included in the net
change were the declaration of cash dividends totaling $1,173,723, repurchases
and retirement of Corporate common stock totaling $420,503, and the resultant
after-tax effect of an increase in the market value of the securities available
for sale portfolio of $1,951,801. This latter factor is due to increases in the
market value of securities available for sale that resulted from the general
decrease in interest rates in the financial markets. The inclusion of such
market changes was mandated under the required adoption of SFAS No. 115
explained more fully in Note A to Consolidated Financial Statements. Despite
the positive effects of increasing equity by including the appreciation in the
investment securities available for sale portfolio, the capital position of the
Corporation remained strong. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of
securities available for sale will continue to be subject to change in future
periods due to fluctuations in market value.
Increases in capital have been accomplished through retained earnings
without recourse to debt creation or issuance of additional stock. Employee
stock options totaling $166,992 were exercised during 1995. Total stockholders'
equity represented 11.6% of total assets at year end 1995 versus 10.8% at year
end 1994. (The ratio for 1995 includes the net after-tax appreciation of
$585,232 on the Corporation's $57,556,000 available for sale investment
securities portfolio.) In June 1995, a 26.7 cent dividend was declared and in
December 1995, a 29.3 cent dividend was declared representing an increase of 10%
in the semiannual dividend. Cash dividends have been paid, and increased, over
the past seventeen consecutive years. Total cash dividends of 56 cents per
share declared in 1995 represented an increase of 10 1/2% over total cash
dividends of 50.7 cents per share declared in 1994.
At its December 1995 meeting, the Board of Directors of the Corporation
declared a three for two stock split to be paid by means of a 50% stock dividend
to shareholders of record on January 8, 1996, payable on February 2, 1996. All
applicable shares and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to
reflect the effects of such dividend.

Standards established by the regulatory authorities for measuring capital
adequacy require banks and bank holding companies to maintain capital based on
risk-adjusted assets. Under these requirements, categories of assets with
potentially higher credit risk require more capital backing than assets with
lower risk. Further, banks must maintain an adequate ratio of total capital to
total assets which is referred to as the leverage ratio. Failure to maintain
these requirements can result in severe penalties. The Corporation and the Bank
substantially exceed the capital adequacy ratio levels required by the
regulatory authorities. The following table sets forth the current requirements
and the ratios maintained by the Corporation, which are substantially the same
as the Bank, at December 31, 1995 and 1994:

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act ("Act") was
enacted in 1991. The Act affects all federally insured depository institutions.
The Act contains a $70 billion recapitalization of the Bank Insurance Fund
("BIF") by significantly increasing the amount that the FDIC can borrow from the
Treasury. The FDIC must assess premiums that are sufficient to give the BIF
reserves of $1.25 for each $100 of insured deposits. Additional significant
provisions of the Act include: requiring prompt corrective action by regulators
if minimum capital standards are not met; establishing early intervention
procedures for "significantly" undercapitalized institutions; limiting FDIC
reimbursement of uninsured deposits when large banks fail; requiring an annual
regulatory examination; and imposing new auditing and accounting requirements,
effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 1993, including
management and auditor reporting on internal controls over financial reporting
and on compliance with laws and regulations.
Effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 1993, the Act
requires federally insured depository institutions with assets in excess of $500
million to file an "annual report" with the federal regulatory agencies that
will be available for public inspection. This requirement can be satisfied for
subsidiaries of a bank holding company by an audit of the consolidated financial
statements of the holding company. In addition, the Act requires that the
annual report must include an auditor's report on management's assertions
regarding the effectiveness of internal controls pertaining to financial
reporting and on agreed upon procedures concerning compliance with specific laws
and regulations designated by federal regulatory agencies.
During 1995, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation reached its full-
funded status. As a result of this occurrence, the rate of insurance for the
Corporation was reduced from twenty-three cents to four cents per hundred
dollars of deposits commencing June 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Corporation has since been notified that its
assessment will be the minimum amount of $2,000 for the calendar year 1996.
There are many other accounting and auditing provisions and various other
provisions of the Act that are not discussed above.

LIQUIDITY/SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS/INTEREST RATE RISK
Liquidity is the ability of the Corporation to generate and maintain
sufficient cash flows promptly to fund operations and to meet financial
obligations to its customers. The principal sources of liquidity are cash and
short term money market investments. Management believes that its current
policies of controlling liquidity and sensitivity analysis and dealing with
interest rate risk are adequate to carry out the needs, objectives, and goals in
this area for the coming year. At year end 1995, total short term and
intermediate term investments that are expected to mature within one year is
approximately $85,352,000 or 20.1% of total assets. The overall liquidity of
the Corporation is further enhanced by its historical stable deposit base of
checking accounts, savings accounts, NOW accounts, and money market accounts.
These core deposits, not including large certificates of deposit, averaged
$358,782,000 for the year 1995 which is 87.0% of total average assets. At
December 31, 1995, the total excess of interest bearing liabilities over
interest earning assets (based on assets and liabilities adjusting within a one
year time period) was $3,891,000 or 2.10% of such earning assets.
The following table, also referred to as the gap report, sets forth, as of
the dates shown, information regarding the interest sensitive assets and
interest sensitive liabilities of the Corporation:

THIS TABLE.
With reference to the above table, sensitive assets and sensitive
liabilities include those assets and liabilities which may be repriced as to
rate within one year. For purposes of the table, $18,600,000 of all savings
accounts were assumed to reprice within one year, $13,300,000 within five years,
and the remaining savings accounts after five years. Also for purposes of this
table, $3,300,000 of all NOW accounts are assumed to reprice within one year,
$8,900,000 within five years, and the remaining NOW accounts after five years.
While the gap report details the repricing differences for assets and
liabilities for given periods, it has some limitations in that the report is
static by nature. Because of this limitation, and to further aid in quantifying
and controlling the earnings that may be at risk as a result of interest rate
fluctuations, the Corporation has enhanced its interest rate risk management
program by the adoption of simulation modeling. Under this process various
growth and interest rate scenarios can be run as a matter of test.
10 The First of Long Island Corporation
Because of the Corporation's significant base of demand deposits, equity,
and NOW accounts, sustained higher interest rates should have a beneficial
effect on earnings by increasing the net interest margin while sustained lower
rates should have the opposite effect. During the actual time of declining
interest rates, it had been believed that the Corporation should incur a short
term benefit to earnings and the converse should be true. This proved not
necessarily the case, a principal reason being that rates on traditional savings
accounts were not changed in tandem with money market rates in general.
The Corporation regularly monitors the relationship between interest
sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities in order to lessen the
effect of interest rate fluctuations and to meet cash flow requirements. As a
further measure to mitigate potential impact on earnings caused by changes in
interest rates, the Corporation has imposed upon itself, as a general rule, a
cumulative asset or liability gap out to one year that should remain within
15.0% of earning assets.
As mentioned earlier, but also relative to this area of discussion, funding
of the Corporation continues to be through its deposits and, to a lesser degree,
through its retained earnings, with no recourse to purchased funds, borrowed
money, nor brokered deposits transactions.
STOCK PURCHASE PLANS
In February of 1988, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase
plan which authorized the Corporation to repurchase shares of its own common
stock in market or private transactions. Since that time, ten such plans have
been initiated involving the repurchase of 20,000 to 25,000 shares per plan.
The tenth plan, which is also the most current one, was approved in November
1995 for 25,000 shares (adjusted to 37,500 shares). Under this plan, the
authorization approximates one and three quarters percent of the Corporation's
then outstanding shares of 1,397,495 (adjusted to 2,096,242). At year end, in
addition to the most recent plan, 10,745 shares (adjusted to 16,117) could still
be repurchased on the immediately preceding plan. It is the Corporation's
belief that the repurchase of shares will better maximize shareholder value.
The stock purchases are financed through available Corporate cash. Note:
adjusted amounts appearing in parentheses are after the recent 3 for 2 stock
split.
OTHER INFORMATION
Within the past twelve months, the Corporation opened two new commercial
banking offices, one in Valley Stream in February 1995, and the other in Great
Neck in January 1996. Plans to open a full service office in Garden City, with
such office to be designated as the Bank's legal head office, were canceled due
to site complications. It is management's present expectation that new offices
in the foreseeable future will be commercial banking offices.
Capital expenditures for the year 1995 amounted to $666,705. This amount
included renovations and expansions to present banking facilities and normal
replacement costs. Long range plans could include expenditures, beyond normal
replacement costs, involved in the continued establishment of new branch
offices.
The Corporation is not involved in any acquisitions or mergers.
The subsidiary Bank underwent a routine safety and soundness and Bank
Information Systems (BIS) examination during the third quarter of 1995 by the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The examination also evaluated the
Corporation's compliance with various consumer laws and regulations. The same
regulatory agency conducted its separately scheduled examination of the
subsidiary Bank's Trust and Investment Services Department during the first half
of 1994. The Corporation was examined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
examiners during the first quarter of 1993. Management is not aware, nor has it
been it apprised, of any recommendations by regulatory authorities which if they
were implemented would have a material effect on the Corporation's liquidity,
capital resources, and operations.
Commercial checking accounts and commercial mortgages continue as the
Corporation's primary marketing strategies. However, the Corporation regularly
markets and seeks to develop other loan products as well. While there may be
reason for a somewhat optimistic outlook regarding the national economy,
management maintains its previously stated concerns over a lackluster local
economy and the possible negative effects such an economy can have on
profitability. Management also maintains its belief that the strength of the
Corporation's liquidity and capital resources are more than adequate to meet
reasonably foreseeable events.
The First of Long Island Corporation 11
MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The management of The First of Long Island Corporation is responsible for
the preparation of the financial statements, related financial data and other
information in this annual report. The financial statements are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts
based on management's estimates and judgment where appropriate. Financial
information appearing throughout this annual report is consistent with the
financial statements.
In meeting its responsibility both for the reliability and integrity of
these statements and information, management depends on its accounting system
and related internal control structures. These systems and controls have been
designed to provide reasonable assurances that assets are safeguarded and that
transactions are authorized and recorded in accordance with established
procedures and that reliable records are maintained. As an integral part of the
internal control structure, the Corporation maintains a professional staff of
internal auditors who monitor compliance with and assess the effectiveness of
the internal control structure and coordinate audit coverage with the
independent auditors.
The Corporation's Examining Committee of the Board of Directors, composed
solely of outside directors, meets regularly with the Corporation's management,
internal auditors, independent auditors and regulatory examiners to review
matters relating to financial reporting, internal control structure and the
nature, extent and results of the audit effort. The independent auditors,
internal auditors and banking regulators have direct access to the Examining
Committee with or without management present.
The financial statements for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995, have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public
accountants, who render an independent professional opinion on management's
financial statements. Their appointment was approved by the Board of Directors.
The examinations provide an objective assessment of the degree to which the
Corporation's management meets its responsibility for financial reporting. Their
opinions on the financial statements are based on auditing procedures which
include reviewing internal control structures and performing selected tests of
transactions and records as deemed appropriate. These auditing procedures are
designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that the financial
statements are fairly presented in all material respects.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation and its subsidiary
Bank conform to general practices within the banking industry. The following
footnotes describe the most significant of these policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and
liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets. The same is true
of revenues and expenses reported for the period. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The Corporation and its subsidiary Bank provide banking services to
domestic markets. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Corporation and the Bank. All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.
CASH FLOWS INFORMATION
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Corporation considers cash
and due from banks and federal funds sold as cash and cash equivalents.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
AVAILABLE FOR SALE--Effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS No. 115). In connection with
the adoption of this pronouncement, securities used as part of the Corporation's
asset/liability management that may be sold in response to changes in interest
rates, prepayments, and other factors have been classified as available for
sale. Such securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and
losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of
stockholders' equity (on an after tax basis). Gains and losses on the
disposition of securities are recognized on the specific identification method
in the period in which they occur.
HELD TO MATURITY--Held to maturity investment securities are stated at cost
adjusted for accretion of discount or amortization of premium. The Corporation
feels confident that it has the ability to hold such securities until maturity.
On November 15, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
special report entitled, "A Guide to Implementation of Statement No. 115 on
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, Questions
and Answers" ("the Guide"). The Guide permitted a one-time reassessment and
related reclassifications from the held to maturity category (no later than
December 31, 1995) that will not call into question the intent of the
enterprise to hold other debt securities at maturity in the future. In
December 1995, the Corporation performed a reassessment of its investment and
mortgage-backed securities which resulted in the decision not to make any
further adjustments to the classification of its investment portfolio.
REVENUE RECOGNITION ON LOANS
Interest on loans is credited to income based on the principal amount
outstanding. Loan fees and related direct costs of originating loans are
deferred and amortized by the interest method over the estimated average life of
the loans.
The accrual of interest income is generally discontinued when a loan
becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest. When interest accruals
are discontinued, interest credited to income in the current year is reversed,
and interest accrued in the prior year is charged to the allowance for loan
losses.
Effective January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted the accounting and
disclosure guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by Statement No.
118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and
Disclosures." Both pronouncements establish the accounting by creditors for
impairment of certain loans with the latter adding as to how a creditor
recognizes interest income related to those impaired loans. Pursuant to this
accounting guidance, a valuation allowance is recorded on impaired loans to
reflect the difference, if any, between the loan face and the present value of
projected cash flows, observable fair value or collateral value. This valuation
allowance is reported within the overall allowance for loan losses. Such change
in accounting was not material to the consolidated financial statements.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is an amount estimated by management to
provide for potential loan losses. The allowance is increased by loan
recoveries and provisions charged to income and reduced by loan charge-offs.
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While
management uses available information to estimate potential losses on loans, the
allowance may have to be increased in future years because of changed
conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their examination process, periodically review the Corporation's allowance for
loan losses. Such agencies can
18 The First of Long Island Corporation
require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance based on their
judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation
and amortization computed by using the straight line method (for assets acquired
prior to 1987) and 150% declining balance method (for assets acquired after
1986). Rates are based on the estimated useful lives of the related asset as
follows:
Asset Estimated
Classification Useful Life
- ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------
Premises 5 to 50 years
Furniture & Equipment 3 to 40 years
Leasehold Improvements Amortized over the lease term or estimated useful
life of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
INCOME TAXES
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation changed its method of accounting
for income taxes and adopted the accounting standards contained in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No.
109). It requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial
accounting and reporting for income taxes. The cumulative effect to January 1,
1993 of this change in accounting for income taxes increased the Corporation's
net earnings in 1993 by $650,000 and resulted in a corresponding increase in the
deferred income tax asset.
PER SHARE AMOUNTS/STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding (2,130,790 in 1995, 2,126,572 in 1994, and 2,144,482 in 1993) and
include common stock equivalents. Per share data for all years presented, on a
fully diluted basis, is the same as primary earnings per share.
All applicable shares and per share amounts have been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the effects of the three for two stock split (paid by means
of a 50% stock dividend) which was declared by the Board of Directors on
December 19, 1995 to shareholders of record January 8, 1996 payable on
February 2, 1996.
FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS --The carrying amounts reported in the balance
sheet for cash and short term instruments approximate those assets' fair values.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES (INCLUDING COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS) --
Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where
available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
LOANS--For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no
significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The
fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., fixed rate one-to-four family
residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted
market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization
transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair value
for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using
interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers
of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates
its fair value.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS--Fair values for the Corporation's off-
balance sheet instruments (lending commitments) are based on fees currently
charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining
terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing.
DEPOSITS--The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, NOW accounts,
savings accounts, and certain types of money market accounts, are equal to their
carrying amounts at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates
of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies
interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of
aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of."
This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995, although earlier implementation is permitted.
In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 122,
"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," which is an amendment to SFAS No.
65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities." This Statement
requires the recognition as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for
others, however those servicing rights are acquired. The pronouncement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, although earlier
implementation is permitted.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This Statement establishes
financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee
compensation plans. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995, although earlier implementation is permitted.
The First of Long Island Corporation 19
In management's opinion, when adopted, the aforementioned pronouncements
will not have a material effect on the Corporation's financial position or
results of operations.
In December 1994, the AICPA issued Statement of Position No. 94-6,
entitiled, "Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties" ("SOP 94-
6") which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1995. SOP 94-6
requires disclosure in the financial statements about certain risks and
uncertainties that could significantly affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements in the near term and relate to: (i) the nature of
operations; (ii) the necessary use of estimates in the preparation of financial
statements; and (iii) significant concentrations in certain aspects of
operations.

The amortized cost and estimated market values of debt securities at
December 31, 1995 are shown below by contractual final maturities. For U.S.
Government Agencies, since these are "modified" pass-through mortgage-backed
securities, actual principal payments are received throughout the life of these
securities as mortgage debtors routinely pay (and prepay) their obligations.

Certain directors, including their immediate families and companies in
which they are principal owners, were loan customers of the Bank during 1995 and
1994. Such loans are in the ordinary course of business at normal credit terms,
including interest rate and security, and do not
represent more than a normal risk of collection. The aggregate amount of these
loans was approximately $1,540,000 and $1,317,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. During 1995, $421,000 of new loans to such persons were made and
repayments totaled $198,000.
Nonaccrual loans are loans on which either principal or interest payments
are past due 90 days or more. Restructured loans have been restructured to
provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal for reasons
related to the debtors' financial difficulties. Accruing loans which are past
due 90 days or more amounted to $251,000 and $3,237 at December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively. Information concerning nonaccrual and restructured loans,
both of which are included in loans, at December 31, is as follows:

The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (SFAS No. 114), and Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures" (SFAS No. 118), as of
January 1, 1995. Both pronouncements require that certain impaired loans be
measured based on the present value of expected future
22 The First of Long Island Corporation
cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. As a
practical expedient, impairment may be measured based on the loan's observable
market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. When the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded
investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through a valuation
allowance.
The Corporation previously measured the allowance for credit losses on
impaired loans using methods similar to those prescribed in SFAS No. 114 and
SFAS No. 118. As a result of adopting these statements, no additional allowance
for loan losses was required as of January 1, 1995.
As of December 31, 1995, the Corporation did not have any impaired loans
in accordance with SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118.

The Corporation is a participant in the New York State Bankers Retirement
System ("Plan"). Employees who are over 21 years of age and have been employed
for over one year are eligible to be covered. The Corporation's policy is to
fund pension costs accrued. Employees also make contributions of 2% of their
compensation. Assets of the Plan are invested in various debt and equity
securities.

The weighted-average discount rate and rate of increase in future
compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the
projected benefit obligation were 7.75% and 5.0% per annum at December 31, 1995,
respectively, and 8.0% and 5.5% per annum at December 31, 1994, respectively.
The expected long term rate of return on Plan assets was 8.5% in 1995, 1994, and
1993.
The Corporation also has a trusteed contributory profit sharing plan.
Employees become eligible for participation after reaching age 21 and completing
one year of service. Contributions are fixed annually by the Board of Directors
and totaled $361,669, $338,193, and $318,743 in 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively.
The Profit Sharing Plan allows additional contributions under a "401(k)"
arrangement. Salary reduction contributions are matched by the Corporation
according to the Plan limitations. The Plan expense was approximately $82,000,
$81,000, and $70,000 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
The Corporation provides postretirement benefits, including health care and
life insurance, which is primarily limited to current retirees, in accordance
with FASB Statement No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions." This method of accounting for postretirement benefits
accrues the actuarially determined costs ratably to the date an employee becomes
eligible for such benefits. The Corporation has previously charged to expense
these costs as cash payments were made. The effect of this Statement for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 was not material.
On August 3, 1995, the Corporation adopted The First National Bank of Long
Island Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (SERP). The SERP provides
benefits to certain employees, designated by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors, whose benefits under the pension plan and profit sharing
plan are limited by the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The
benefit under the SERP is equal to the excess of the amount to which the
employee would be entitled under the pension and profit sharing plans in the
absence of such Internal Revenue Code limitations. The effective date of the
SERP, which superseded the Corporation's previous supplemental retirement
benefit plan, was January 1, 1994. Plan expenses were $101,249 in 1995 and
$35,066 in 1994.
On June 18, 1991, the Corporation adopted a retirement plan for Directors.
In order to be eligible to receive benefits under the Retirement Plan, a retired
director must meet certain age and length of service requirements. The benefits
paid under this plan were $30,825, $24,750, and $15,750 in 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively.

Deferred tax asset is included in other assets in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. Income taxes are deferred as a result of
differences in the timing of the recognition of certain income and expenses for
income tax and financial reporting purposes. The primary sources of these
differences are bad debt deductions, unrealized depreciation on securities
available for sale, compensation, and depreciation.

NOTE I - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK, CONCENTRATIONS OF
CREDIT RISK, AND OTHER MATTERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments
as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. At December 31, 1995, the Corporation's total
commitments to extend credit were $19,568,000. Outstanding standby and
commercial letters of credit for which the Corporation is contingently liable
amounted to $1,893,000 at December 31, 1995 and $1,340,000 at December 31, 1994.
In addition, there were $127,000 of Acceptances outstanding as of December 31,
1995. The Corporation evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-
case basis. The amount of collateral obtained by the Corporation upon extension
of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Collateral held varies but generally includes residential and income-producing
properties.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Virtually all of the Corporation's loans, personal and commercial, are to
borrowers who are domiciled on Long Island. The income of many of those
customers is dependent on the Long Island economy. In addition, virtually all of
the Corporation's real estate loans involve mortgages on Long Island properties.
Thus, the Corporation's loan portfolio is susceptible to the economy of Long
Island which is its market place.
OTHER MATTERS
The Corporation is required to maintain average reserve balances with the
Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of those reserve balances for the year
ended December 31, 1995 was approximately $6,708,000.
At December 31, 1995, $13,381,000 of undistributed earnings of the Bank,
included in consolidated retained earnings, was available for distribution to
the Corporation as dividends without prior regulatory approval.
The fair values for the Corporation's off-balance sheet financial
instruments at December 31, are as follows:
Fair Value

1995 1994
------ -------
Commitments to
Extend Credit. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . NONE None
Standby and Commercial
Letters of Credit. . . . . . . . . . . . . $8,000 $6,000
Under national banking laws and related statutes, the Bank also is limited
as to the amount it may loan to the Corporation, unless such loans are
collateralized by specified obligations. At December 31, 1995, the maximum
amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Corporation in the form of
loans approximated $7,126,000.
OTHER EXPENSES
Other expenses which exceed one percent of aggregate interest and other
income are as follows for the years ended December 31:
1995 1994 1993
-------- -------- --------
FDIC Insurance . . . . . . . $400,700 $745,100 $729,700

Marketing. . . . . . . . . . . 245,500 293,900 282,900
LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Corporation leases the premises for its Woodbury, Lake Success,
Rockville Centre, New Hyde Park, Locust Valley, Valley Stream, and Great Neck
offices. Minimum annual rental payments, exclusive of real estate taxes, under
noncancellable operating leases are summarized as follows:

2000 166,929
Thereafter 402,386
----------
$1,450,421

In addition, the Corporation has various renewal options on the above
leases. Rental expense charged to operations amounted to $220,000, $221,000, and
$188,000 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
The First of Long Island Corporation 27
STOCK OPTION PLAN
On January 21, 1986, the Board of Directors approved and adopted The First
of Long Island Corporation Stock Option Plan (as amended), subsequently approved
by the stockholders. Pursuant to the Plan, a total of 258,450 shares of Common
Stock were made available for grant of stock options and stock appreciation
rights to certain officers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries over the ten
year period ending January 21, 1996. In addition, on May 17, 1988 and December
19, 1989, the Corporation issued Stock Appreciation Rights to certain officers,
pursuant to the plan amendment. At December 31, 1995, 14,662 Rights were
exercisable. Under the Corporation's stock option plan, options have been
granted to key personnel for terms of up to ten years at not less than the fair
value of the shares at the dates of grant and are exercisable in whole or in
part at stated times commencing six months after the date of grant. At
December 31, 1995, options to purchase 100,957 shares of Common Stock were
exercisable. Option activity during the three years ended December 31, 1995 is
summarized as follows:

NOTE 1--ABOVE FIGURES HAVE BEEN RETROACTIVELY ADJUSTED TO REFLECT THE 3 FOR 2

DECEMBER 19, 1995.
On January 16, 1996, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a new
stock option and appreciation rights plan (the "1996 Plan") and directed that it
be submitted for approval by the stockholders at the annual meeting of
stockholders to be held on April 16, 1996. Pursuant to the 1996 Plan, a total
of 240,000 shares of Common Stock would be made available, after the date of
distribution of the shares pursuant to the stock split described herein, for
grant of stock options and stock appreciation rights to certain officers of the

The other terms of the 1996 Plan will be substantially the same as the terms of
the prior plan.

30 The First of Long Island Corporation
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Stockholders and Board of Directors of
The First of Long Island Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The First
of Long Island Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and
the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of The First of Long Island
Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As explained in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 1, 1993, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for income
taxes. Also, as explained in Note A to the consolidated financial statements,
effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for
investments in debt and equity securities.
