THE FIRST OF LONG ISLAND CORPORATION

Item 2.    Management's   Discussion   and  Analysis  of  Financial
Condition  and Results of Operations.

Financial Condition

      Total assets of The First of Long Island Corporation at June 30, 1996 were
$433.6  million,  reflecting  a decrease of $3.5  million or 0.8% from the first
quarter end, and an increase of $8.0 million or 1.9% from the previous year end.

      At period end, demand deposits totaled $121.9 million, an increase of $1.0
million or 0.8% over the first  quarter  end,  and a decrease of $1.8 million or
1.4% from the  previous  year end.  The  largest  segment of demand  deposits is
comprised of checking accounts. On an average balance basis, these deposits rose
by $7.5 million or 6.9% during the first six months of 1996 over the like period
of 1995.  Although  there was strong growth in consumer  checking,  management's
most  important   marketing  strategy  continues  to  be  the  solicitation  and
maintenance  of commercial  checking  deposits.  Savings,  NOW, money market and
other time deposits grew in total by $8.6 million or 3.4% from the previous year
end,  mostly  the  result of an influx  of new money in money  market  accounts.
Overall total  deposits,  on both an actual and average basis,  represent 88% of
total assets.  The primary  funding source for the  Corporation is in its strong
core  deposit  base,  and as a  result,  the  Corporation  has had no  need  for
borrowings or purchased funds.

      Earning assets at June 30, 1996 were $401.2  million,  a decrease from the
previous quarter end of $2.2 million or 0.5% but reflecting an increase over the
previous  year end of $10.3  million or 2.6%.  Included  in  earning  assets are
federal funds sold, investment securities, and net loans.

      Investment  securities  decreased  $11.4 million or 5.0% from the previous
quarter end and $1.1 million or 0.5% from the previous year end. These decreases
were offset by increases in federal  funds sold and growths in net loans.  Total
invested funds,  which includes  federal funds sold,  continues to represent the
Corporation's  largest  component of earning assets,  approximating 58% of total
assets.  Included  in total  invested  funds  were  $52.9  million in short term
maturities of one year or less.  These short term  investments  are 12% of total
assets and  contribute to the  Corporation's  liquidity.  No investment  trading
account is maintained. The Corporation does not purchase any noninvestment grade
securities other than occasionally from local issuers.

      Total loans were $153.5  million at June 30, 1996,  showing an increase of
$4.8  million or 3.2% over the  previous  quarter  end, and $6.9 million or 4.7%
higher than the previous year end.  Overall loans  outstanding  show an increase
over last year in both  period end and  average  balances.  Commercial  mortgage
outstandings,  however,  have declined somewhat.  Real estate mortgage loans are
still the major component of the loan  portfolio.  Total loan  outstandings  run
approximately  35% of total assets.  The loan portfolio is comprised of domestic
loans only and does not include  participation in transactions commonly known as
leveraged buy-outs of publicly held companies.

      The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1996 was $3.6 million or 2.3% of
total  loans,  remaining  level with the  previous  quarter  and year  ends.  No
provision for loan losses have been considered  necessary for the year thus far.
Further,  no provisions  were deemed  necessary for the previous  year.  For the
current six months of 1996,  recoveries  exceeded  charge-offs  by $2  thousand.
Accruing  loans which were past due ninety days or more amounted to $27 thousand
at the current  quarter end compared with $135 thousand at the previous  quarter
end and $251  thousand  at the  previous  year end.  Nonaccrual  loans were $768
thousand at current  quarter  end  compared  to $589  thousand  at the  previous
quarter end and $843 thousand at the previous year end. The current allowance as
a percent of past due and nonaccrual loans was 242%.


<PAGE>





      Total  stockholders'  equity of $50.5  million  showed an increase of $100
thousand or 0.3% from the  previous  quarter end and an increase of $1.2 million
or 2.4% from the previous year end. Under Financial  Accounting  Standards Board
Release No. 115, investment securities determined available for sale are carried
at market value rather than amortized cost. As a result, unrealized depreciation
net of taxes at quarter end was recorded at $697 thousand,  substantially higher
than the recorded  amount of  unrealized  appreciation  of $585  thousand at the
previous  year end, thus  impacting the reported net change.  On June 18, 1996 a
cash  dividend was declared in the amount of 30 cents per share  payable on July
22, 1996 to  shareholders of record July 8, 1996.  Further,  as mentioned in the
March  reporting,  a three for two stock  split was paid by means of a 50% stock
dividend to shareholders of record on January 8, 1996. All applicable shares and
per share  amounts  have been  retroactively  adjusted to reflect the effects of
such dividend.

      Liquidity  and  capital  resources  continue to exceed  substantially  the
regulatory requirements.  The comparison of risk-based capital ratios maintained
at period end to regulatory minimum requirements were as follows:

                         Minimum
                        Required
                                  June 30  March 31  Dec.31   Sept. 30
                          Rate     1996      1996     1995     1995

Total Capital Ratio       8.00%   31.84%   31.78%    31.50%   31.12%
Tier I Capital Ratio      4.00%   30.58%   30.52%    30.24%   29.86%
Leverage Ratio .....      4.00%   11.82%   11.53%    11.59%   11.43%

      Management regularly monitors the asset/liability  sensitivity position to
assure  maintenance of adequate  liquidity and proper balance  between  interest
sensitive  assets and interest  sensitive  liabilities.  The current position is
considered to be satisfactory.


Results of Operations

      Net income for the second quarter of 1996 was $1,669  thousand or $.78 per
share compared with $1,417  thousand or $.66 per share for the second quarter of
1995,  showing an increase of $252 thousand or 18%. Net income for the first six
months of 1996 was  $3,328  thousand  or $1.56 per share  compared  with  $2,776
thousand  or $1.30 per share for the same  period of 1995,  an  increase of $552
thousand or 20%.

      As in the first quarter,  the most important factor favorably  influencing
earnings was a decline in non-interest  operating  expenses as virtually no FDIC
insurance  expense was  incurred in this second  quarter of 1996.  This is to be
compared  with $192 thousand that was recorded in each of the first two quarters
of 1995.  During  the  third  quarter  of  1995,  the  Bank  Insurance  Fund was
determined to have reached its legal requirement such that a refund was actually
paid to the  Corporation  in  September.  Little net FDIC  premium  expense  was
incurred in the last six months of 1995:  a net credit of $17  thousand  for the
third quarter and a modest  expense of $34 thousand in the last quarter of 1995.
In addition,  income was favorably  impacted by the growth in checking  balances
and service charge income. The increase in service charge income was principally
the result of pricing adjustments which mostly became effective in October 1995.
There was also good  growth  in money  market  type  savings  balances,  but the
benefit to  earnings  from these  balances  was  largely  offset by a decline in
traditional savings balances.
<PAGE>

      Net interest  income  continues  as the  Corporation's  primary  source of
income.  Net interest  income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 increased $302
thousand or 6.4% over the second  quarter of 1995.  Net interest  income for the
six months  ended June 30, 1996  increased  $525  thousand or 5.6% over the same
period in 1995. The related net interest margin of 5.14%, however, was less than
that of the same six month period last year by seven basis points.  This decline
is the result of  generally  lower  interest  rates on  securities  maturing  or
repricing beyond one year.

      Noninterest income net of securities  transactions,  showed an increase of
$111  thousand or 12.9% for the second  quarter of 1996 compared with the second
quarter of 1995,  and an  increase  of $250  thousand or 14.8% for the first six
months of 1996  compared  to the same six  month  period  in 1995.  The  largest
component of these increases  reflect the increase in service charges on deposit
accounts as mentioned above.

      There were no gains or losses on the sale of securities during the current
three or six month  periods in  comparison to a small gain reported in the first
six months of 1995.

      Operating  expenses  showed an  increase  of $13  thousand  in the  second
quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter of 1995. For the six months ended
June 30, 1996,  operating  expenses decreased in total by $106 thousand or 1.52%
when compared to the similar previous period.  The positive variance between the
compared six month periods was due to the virtual  elimination of FDIC insurance
expense of nearly $400 thousand.

      No provision for loan losses was considered necessary.

      Return on average assets (ROA) and return on average  stockholders' equity
(ROE) for the  current six month  period  were 1.54% and  13.25%,  respectively,
compared with 1.37% and 12.53%, respectively, for the similar period of 1995.


Other Information

         Capital   expenditures   for  the  year  are  presently   estimated  at
approximately $1,026 thousand. These expenditures are intended to cover costs of
furniture and equipment,  facility  improvements,  and branch office  expansion.
Expenditures  for the six months ended June 30, 1996  amounted to $266  thousand
and are expected to remain within budgeted amounts.

         Stock  repurchase  plans have been  approved by the Board of  Directors
since 1988,  authorizing the Corporation to repurchase  shares of its own common
stock in market or private  transactions.  Ten such  plans  have been  initiated
since that date  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 shares). At quarter
end, in addition to the most recent plan,  5,046 shares remain to be repurchased
under the immediately  preceding plan. The total number of repurchases completed
during the present six month period was 11,273 shares.  It is the  Corporation's
belief that these  repurchases of shares will help maximize  shareholder  value.
The stock purchases are financed through available Corporate cash.

      The most recent routine safety and soundness and Bank Information  Systems
(BIS) examination was conducted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
on the  subsidiary  Bank  during  the  third  quarter  of 
<PAGE>

1995, with a similar examination anticipated for the third quarter of 1996.
Also,  the Office of the  Comptroller  of the Currency  recently  conducted  its
separately  scheduled  examination of the subsidiary Bank's Trust and Investment
Services Department. The Corporation was examined by Federal Reserve Bank of New
York Examiners  during the second quarter of 1996.  Management is not aware, nor
has it been apprised by any regulatory  authority,  of any recommendations  that
would have a material effect on the Corporation's  liquidity,  capital resources
and operations.

     At their  regularly  scheduled  meeting  on July  16,  1996,  the  Board of
Directors  of The  First  of  Long  Island  Corporation  adopted  a  Shareholder
Protection  Rights Plan and declared a dividend of one Right on each outstanding
share of Common Stock. The dividend was paid on July 31, 1996 to shareholders of
record on July 31,  1996.  The Rights  Plan was not  adopted in  response to any
specific  effort to  acquire  control of The First of Long  Island  Corporation.
Rather,  it was adopted to deter  abusive  takeover  tactics that can be used to
deprive shareholders of the full value of their investment.  The Rights Plan was
filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  under Form 8-A on July 30,
1996.

     Also, at the above  meeting,  Mr. Walter C. Teagle III was appointed by the
Board of  Directors  as a Class I Director.  Mr.  Teagle is  president of Teagle
Management,  Inc., a private investment  company,  as well as president of Metro
Design  Systems,  Inc.,  which  provides  engineering  design  services  to  the
telecommunications  industry.  It is anticipated  that Mr. Teagle's name will be
submitted for election to a full two year term at the next Annual  Shareholder's
Meeeting in April 1997.

     The  First  of  Long  Island  Corporation  was  organized  as  a  New  York
corporation  on February 7, 1984 for the purpose of becoming a one bank  holding
company.  On April  30,  1984 the  Corporation  commenced  operations  as a bank
holding company when it acquired all the outstanding stock of The First National
Bank of Long Island.  The Bank,  which was chartered under national banking laws
in 1927, currently maintains fifteen offices in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. The
Corporation is not, nor has it been, involved in any acquisitions or mergers.

     As referenced in our 1995 Annual Report,  the most recent branch office was
opened in January of this year in Great  Neck,  and  research is  continuing  of
other areas for added Commercial Banking Units.
