FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation is the operation of its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Flushing Savings Bank, FSB (the "Bank"). The
consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q reflect
principally the Bank's activities.
The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
results for such periods of Flushing Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries (the
"Company"). Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise
disclosed in this Form 10-Q. The results of operations in the interim statements
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals
("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The interim financial
information should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2001 Annual Report
on Form 10-K.
2. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002
and 2001 was computed by dividing net income by the total weighted average
number of common shares outstanding, including only the vested portion of
restricted stock awards. Diluted earnings per share includes the additional
dilutive effect of stock options outstanding and the unvested portion of
restricted stock awards during the period. Earnings per share has been computed
based on the following:

4. STOCK SPLIT
On July 17, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a three-for-two
split of the Company's common stock in the form of a 50% stock dividend, payable
on August 30, 2001. Each shareholder received one additional share for every two
shares of the Company's common stock held at the record date, August 10, 2001.
Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares. All historical share and per share
amounts reported in this Form 10-Q have been restated to reflect the
three-for-two stock split paid on August 30, 2001.
5. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets",
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The
Statement changes the approach to how goodwill and other intangible assets are
accounted for subsequent to their recognition. Goodwill and intangible assets
that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized but rather will be
tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have finite
useful lives will be amortized over their useful lives. The Statement provides
specific guidance on testing intangible assets that will not be amortized for
impairment. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had goodwill with a remaining
balance of $3.9 million recorded in connection with its purchase of New York
Federal Savings Bank in 1997. Annual amortization expense had been $0.4 million.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company is no longer recording this amortization
expense, but rather is required, at least annually, to test the remaining
goodwill for impairment. The impairment test performed in connection with the
adoption of this Statement in January 2002 did not require an adjustment to the
carrying value of the goodwill.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Flushing Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, was organized in May
1994 to serve as the holding company for Flushing Savings Bank, FSB (the
"Bank"), a federally chartered, FDIC insured savings institution, originally
organized in 1929. The Bank is a consumer-oriented savings institution and
conducts its business through ten banking offices located in Queens, Brooklyn,
Manhattan, Bronx and Nassau County. Flushing Financial Corporation's common
stock is publicly traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "FFIC".
The following discussion of financial condition and results of operations
includes the collective results of Flushing Financial Corporation and the Bank
(collectively, the "Company"), but reflects principally the Bank's activities.
The Company's principal business is attracting retail deposits from the general
public and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from
operations and borrowings, primarily in (1) origination and purchases of one-to-
four family residential real estate loans (focusing on mixed-use properties -
properties that contain both residential dwelling units and commercial units),
multi-family income-producing property loans and commercial real estate loans;
(2) mortgage loan surrogates such as mortgage-backed securities; and (3) U.S.
government and federal agency securities, corporate fixed-income securities and
other marketable securities. To a lesser extent, the Company originates certain
other loans, including construction loans, Small Business Administration loans
and other small business loans.
The Company's results of operations depend primarily on net interest income,
which is the difference between the income earned on its interest-earning assets
and the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the
result of the Company's interest rate margin, which is the difference between
the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities, adjusted for the difference in the average balance
of interest-earning assets as compared to the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities. The Company also generates non-interest income
from loan fees, service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage servicing fees,
late charges and other fees, income earned on Bank Owned Life Insurance,
dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank of NY ("FHLB-NY") stock and net gains and
losses on sales of securities and loans. The Company's operating expenses
consist principally of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and
equipment costs, other general and administrative expenses and income tax
expense. The Company's results of operations also can be significantly affected
by its periodic provision for loan losses and specific provision for losses on
real estate owned. Such results also are significantly affected by general
economic and competitive conditions, including changes in market interest rates,
the strength of the local economy, government policies and actions of regulatory
authorities.
On July 17, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a three-for-two
split of the Company's common stock in the form of a 50% stock dividend, payable
on August 30, 2001. Each shareholder received one additional share for every two
shares of the Company's common stock held at the record date, August 10, 2001.
Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares. All historical share and per share
amounts reported in this Form 10-Q have been restated to reflect the
three-for-two stock split paid on August 30, 2001.
Statements contained in this Quarterly Report relating to plans, strategies,
objectives, economic performance and trends and other statements that are not
descriptions of historical facts may be forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking information is inherently
subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially
from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, which include, but
are not limited to, the factors set forth in the second preceding paragraph and
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and in other documents filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including,
without limitation, the Company's 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders and its SEC
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Forward-looking

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001
GENERAL. Diluted earnings per share decreased 39.3% to $0.17 for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 from $0.28 for the three months ended June 30, 2001.
Net income decreased $1.6 million, or 44.0%, to $2.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 from $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
2001. The return on average assets for the three months ended June 30, 2002
decreased to 0.53% compared to 1.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2001,
while the return on average equity for the three months ended June 30, 2002
decreased to 6.30% from 11.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The
three months ended June 30, 2002 include an after tax impairment charge of $2.6
million related to the decline in the market value of a $5.1 million investment
in a Worldcom Inc. senior note due in 2004. Excluding this impairment charge,
net income would have been $4.6 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, an increase
of $0.10 per diluted share, or 35.7%, from the three months ended June 30, 2001.
Return on average assets and return on average equity, excluding the impairment
charge, would have been 1.2% and 14.3%, respectively, for the three months ended
June 30, 2002.
INTEREST INCOME. Total interest and dividend income increased $1.5 million, or
5.8%, to $26.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $25.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily
the result of a $151.7 million increase in the average balance of
interest-earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to
the three months ended June 30, 2001. The average balance of mortgage loans,
net, mortgage-backed securities, and other securities increased $87.8 million,
$14.5 million, and $61.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended June
30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. These increases
were partially offset by a $12.4 million decrease in the average balance of
interest earning deposits and federal funds sold for the three months ended June
30, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. The yield on
interest-earning assets declined 41 basis points to 7.36% for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 from 7.77% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This
decrease is primarily due to the declining interest rate environment experienced
during 2001, as interest rates have remained stable during 2002. These declines
were partially offset by the increase in the average balance of the higher
yielding mortgage loan portfolio.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased $1.6 million, or 10.5%, to $13.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $15.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to a 100 basis point decline in
the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 3.97% in the three months ended June
30, 2002 from 4.97% in the three months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was
partially offset by a $147.6 million increase in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in the cost of funds is primarily due
to the declining interest rate environment experienced during 2001, as interest
rates have remained stable during 2002. This was coupled with an increase in the
average balance of lower costing core deposits. This marks the sixth consecutive
quarter that the cost of funds has declined.
NET INTEREST INCOME. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, net interest
income increased $3.1 million, or 29.9%, to $13.2 million from $10.1 million in
the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase in net interest income is
primarily due to a 59 basis point increase in the net interest spread and a
$151.7 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets. The
net interest margin increased 52 basis points to 3.64% for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 from 3.12% for the three months ended June 30, 2001.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. There was no provision for loan losses for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. In assessing the adequacy of
the Company's allowance for loan losses, management considers the Company's
historical loss experience, recent trends in losses, collection policies and
collection experience, trends in the volume of non-performing loans, changes in
the composition and volume of the gross loan portfolio, and local and national
economic conditions. Based on these reviews, no provision for loan losses was
deemed necessary for either of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and
2001.
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Total non-interest income decreased by $4.5 million to a
net loss of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $1.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease is primarily due
to a $4.4 million pretax impairment writedown of the Bank's investment in a
WorldCom, Inc. senior note. Excluding the impairment writedown, non-interest
income would have been $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002,
unchanged from the three months ended June 30, 2001. Higher fee income from loan
fees and banking services were offset by reduced dividends received on FHLB-NY
stock.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense was $7.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $1.0 million, or 16.5%, from $6.0 million
for the three months ended June 30,2001. The increase from the prior year period
is attributable to the Bank's continued focus on expanding its current product
offerings to enhance its ability to serve its customers. This resulted in
increases in salaries and benefits and professional services, which includes
advertising. Management continues to monitor expenditures resulting in an
improvement in the efficiency ratio to 47.6% for the three months ended June 30,
2002 from 50.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2001.
INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES. Total income before the provision for income taxes
decreased $2.5 million, or 42.7%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 as compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30,
2001, as the increase in net interest income was offset by the impairment
writedown and an increase in non-interest expense.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense was $1.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 This decrease is due to the $2.5 million decrease in income before
income taxes.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001
GENERAL. Diluted earnings per share decreased 7.0% to $0.53 for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 from $0.57 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased 9.3% to $6.6 million
from the $7.3 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The
return on average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was 0.86%
compared to 1.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2001, while the return on
average equity for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was 10.06% compared to
11.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Excluding the impairment charge
discussed above, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 would have
been $9.2 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, an increase of $0.17 per diluted
share, or 29.8%, from the six months ended June 30, 2001. Return on average
assets and return on average equity, excluding the impairment charge, would have
been 1.2% and 14.0%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

INTEREST INCOME. Total interest and dividend income increased $2.5 million, or
5.0%, to $52.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $50.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily the result
of a $152.0 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets
for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June
30, 2001. The average balance of mortgage loans, net, mortgage-backed securities
and other securities increased $83.4 million, $14.0 million and $56.1 million,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2001. These increases were partially offset by a $2.0
million decrease in the average balance of interest-earning deposits and federal
funds sold for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2001. The yield on interest-earning assets declined 47 basis
points to 7.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 7.82% for the six
months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease is primarily due to the declining
interest rate environment experienced during 2001, as interest rates have
remained stable during 2002. These declines were partially offset by the
increase in the average balance of the higher yielding mortgage loan portfolio.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased $3.0 million, or 9.8%, to $27.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $30.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to a 99 basis point decline in the
cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 4.03% in the six months ended June 30,
2002 from 5.02% in the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was
partially offset by a $147.7 million increase in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in the cost of funds is primarily due
to the declining interest rate environment experienced during 2001, as interest
rates have remained stable during 2002. This was coupled with an increase in the

NET INTEREST INCOME. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, net interest income
increased $5.5 million, or 27.2%, to $25.6 million from $20.1 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2001. This increase in net interest income is primarily
due to a 52 basis point increase in the net interest spread and a $152.0 million
increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets. The net interest
margin increased 43 basis points to 3.56% for the six months ended June 30, 2002
from 3.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. There was no provision for loan losses for the

net loss of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $3.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease is primarily due to
the $4.4 million pretax impairment writedown of the Bank's investment in a

INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES. Total income before the provision for income taxes
decreased $0.9 million, or 7.8%, to $10.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 2002 as compared to $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as
the increase in net interest income was offset by the impairment writedown and
an increase in non-interest expense.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense was $4.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $4.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2001. This decrease is due to the $0.9 million decrease in income
before income taxes.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
ASSETS. Total assets at June 30, 2002 were $1,545.6 million, a $58.1 million
increase from December 31, 2001. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, loan
originations and purchases were $47.6 million for 1-4 family residential real
estate loans ($38.1 million in mixed-use), $79.6 million for multi-family real
estate loans, $26.0 million for commercial real estate loans and $7.0 million in
construction loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, loan originations
and purchases were $46.8 million for 1-4 family residential real estate loans
($20.6 million in mixed-use), $28.1 million for multi-family real estate loans,
$40.3 million for commercial real estate loans and $3.4 million in construction
loans. Total loans, net, increased $67.7 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2002 to $1,134.9 million from $1,067.2 million at December 31, 2001.
As the Company continues to increase its loan portfolio, management continues to
adhere to the Bank's strict underwriting standards. As a result, the Company has
been able to minimize charge-offs of losses from impaired loans and maintain
asset quality. Non-performing assets were $1.1 million at June 30, 2002 compared
to $2.4 million at December 31, 2001 and $1.8 million at June 30, 2001. Total
non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.07% at June 30,
2002 compared to 0.16% at December 31, 2001 and 0.13% at June 30, 2001. The
ratio of allowance for loan losses to total non-performing loans was 586% at
June 30, 2002 compared to 284% at December 31, 2001 and 371% at June 30, 2001.
LIABILITIES. Total liabilities increased $59.3 million to $1,413.4 million at
June 30, 2002 from $1,354.1 million at December 31, 2001. Due to depositors
increased $82.6 million as certificate of deposit accounts increased $35.5
million while lower costing core deposits increased $47.1 million. As a result
of the increase in deposits, borrowed funds were reduced $25.3 million during
the six months ended June 30, 2002.
EQUITY. Total stockholders' equity decreased $1.2 million to $132.2 million at
June 30, 2002 from $133.4 million at December 31, 2001. Net income of $6.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and an increase of $1.3 million
in the net unrealized gains in the market value of securities available for sale
were offset by $8.6 million in treasury shares purchased through the Company's
stock repurchase plans and $2.2 million in cash dividends paid during the six
month period. In addition, the exercise of stock options increased stockholders'
equity by $0.7 million. Book value per share is $10.06 per share at June 30,
2002 compared to $9.89 per share at December 31, 2001 and $9.57 at June 30,
2001.

CASH FLOW. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, funds provided by the
Company's operating activities amounted to $11.5 million. These funds, together
with $49.5 million provided by financing activities and funds available at the
beginning of the year, were utilized to fund net investing activities of $75.9
million. The Company's primary business objective is the origination and
purchase of 1-4 family residential, multi-family and commercial real estate
loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the net total of loan
originations less loan repayments was $57.7 million, and the total amount of
real estate loans purchased was $10.0 million. The Company also invests in other
securities including mortgage loan surrogates such as mortgage-backed
securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company purchased a
total of $69.6 million in securities available for sale. Funds for investment
were also provided by $54.4 million in maturities and prepayments of securities
available for sale. The Company also used funds of $7.9 million for net treasury
stock repurchases and $2.2 million in dividend payments during the six months
ended June 30, 2002.
INTEREST RATE RISK
The consolidated statements of financial position have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which requires the
measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical
dollars without considering the changes in fair value of certain investments due
to changes in interest rates. Generally, the fair value of financial investments
such as loans and securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest
rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could result in decreases in the
fair value of the Company's interest-earning assets which could adversely affect
the Company's results of operation if such assets were sold, or, in the case of
securities classified as available-for-sale, decreases in the Company's
stockholders' equity, if such securities were retained.
The Company manages the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities on a continuous basis to maximize return and adjust its exposure to
interest rate risk. On a quarterly basis, management prepares the "Earnings and
Economic Exposure to Changes In Interest Rate" report for review by the Board of
Directors, as summarized below. This report quantifies the potential changes in
net interest income and net portfolio value should interest rates go up or down
(shocked) 300 basis points, assuming the yield curves of the rate shocks will be
parallel to each other. Net portfolio value is defined as the market value of
assets net of the market value of liabilities. The market value of assets and
liabilities is determined using a discounted cash flow calculation. The net
portfolio value ratio is the ratio of the net portfolio value to the market
value of assets. All changes in income and value are measured as percentage
changes from the projected net interest income and net portfolio value at the
base interest rate scenario. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest
rates at June 30, 2002. Various estimates regarding prepayment assumptions are
made at each level of rate shock. Actual results could differ significantly from
these estimates. The Company is within the guidelines set forth by the Board of
Directors for each interest rate level.

AVERAGE BALANCES
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-
bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them. The following table sets forth certain information
relating to the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition and consolidated statements of operations
for the three month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost
of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the
average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from
average daily balances. The yields include amortization of fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company has established and maintains on its books an allowance for loan losses that is designed to provide a reserve
against estimated losses inherent in the Company's overall loan portfolio. The allowance is established through a provision
for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in the various components of its loan portfolio and other
factors, including historical loan loss experience, changes in the composition and volume of the portfolio, collection policies
and experience, trends in the volume of non-accrual loans and regional and national economic conditions. The determination
of the amount of the allowance for loan losses includes estimates that are susceptible to significant changes due to changes
in appraisal values of collateral, national and regional economic conditions and other factors. In connection with the
determination of the allowance, the market value of collateral ordinarily is evaluated by the Company's staff appraiser;
however, the Company may from time to time obtain independent appraisals for significant properties. Current year charge-
offs, charge-off trends, new loan production and current balance by particular loan categories are also taken into account in
determining the appropriate amount of allowance. The Board of Directors reviews and approves the adequacy of the loan loss
reserves on a quarterly basis.
The following table sets forth the activity in the Bank's allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.
