                      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 September 30, 1996
were $438.8  million,  reflecting  an increase of $5.2  million or 1.2% from the
previous  quarter end and an increase of $13.1 million or 3.1% from the previous
year end.

         Demand  deposits  at period  end  totaled  $123.6  million,  showing an
increase of $1.8 million or 1.5% over the  previous  quarter end, and level with
the previous year end. On an average balance basis, however,  checking accounts,
which  comprise the largest part of demand  deposits,  continued to show growth,
increasing over the comparable 1995 period averages.  Such year to date averages
reflect a growth of approximately $8 million or 7.2%. Demand deposits on both an
actual and average  balance basis  represent  28% of total assets,  a percentage
substantially  higher than figures reported by like financial  institutions as a
group. Savings, money market and other time deposits increased in total by $10.4
million or 4.1% from the  previous  year end and by $1.7 million or .7% from the
previous  quarter end. On an average  balance basis,  these deposits were higher
than the comparable 1995 period. Historically, the Corporation has relied on its
strong  core  deposit  base  as its  source  of  funding,  with no  reliance  on
borrowings  or  purchased  funds.  Total  deposits on both an actual and average
balance basis represent 88% of total assets.

         Earning assets at September 30, 1996 were $402.9  million,  an increase
of $1.7 million or .4% from the  previous  quarter end, and an increase of $12.0
million or 3.1% from the previous year end. Earning assets include federal funds
sold, investment securities, and loans.

         Investment  securities increased $8.2 million or 3.8% from the previous
quarter  end and  increased  $7.1  million or 3.2% from the  previous  year end,
offsetting  much of the  growth in  deposits  thus far in 1996.  Total  invested
securities,  which is made up of investment  securities plus federal funds sold,
represent the Corporation's  largest component of earning assets and approximate
58% of total  assets  for the  prior  quarters  and year  end,  as well as on an
average  balance basis. At period end, of the total invested  securities,  $51.5
million  are short  term,  that is, with  maturities  of less than one year.  On
average  for the year,  the amount  was $57.2  million.  Short term  investments
contribute  substantially 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.
<PAGE>

      Total loans were $152.0  million at September 30, 1996, a decrease of $1.5
million or 1% from the  previous  quarter end and an increase of $5.4 million or
3.7% from the previous year end. While commercial,  installment, and residential
mortgage  loans  show  increases  during  these  periods,   commercial  mortgage
outstandings  have  declined  overall as payments on old loans have been greater
than bookings of new commercial  mortgages.  Real estate mortgage loans continue
to make up the  major  portion  of  outstandings.  Total  loans  usually  run at
approximately  35% of total assets on an actual and average  balance basis.  The
loan  portfolio  continues to be  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 September 30, 1996 was $3.6 million or
2.4% of total loans,  remaining  level with both the  previous  quarter and year
ends.  No  provision  for loan losses was deemed  necessary  thus far this year,
paralleling  a similar  situation  for the previous  year.  For the current nine
months of 1996, recoveries exceeded charge-offs by $9.4 thousand. Accruing loans
which were past due ninety days or more  amounted to $42 thousand  compared with
$27 thousand at the previous  quarter end and $251 thousand at the previous year
end.  Nonaccrual  loans were $737  thousand  compared  with $768 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 314%.

     Total  stockholders'  equity of $52.6  million  showed an  increase of $2.1
million or 4.1% from the previous quarter end and an increase of $3.3 million or
6.7% 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 in the  stockholders'  equity section
of the balance sheet.  As a result,  fluctuations  in market value of securities
causes  fluctuations  in  the  stockholders'  equity.  At  September  30,  1996,
unrealized depreciation net of taxes for quarter end was $269 thousand, somewhat
lower than the  depreciation of $697 thousand  recorded at the previous  quarter
end, and substantially different from the appreciation of $585 thousand recorded
at the previous  year end.  While the effects of the  aforementioned  accounting
release impact the reported net change in stockholders' equity, the effects thus
far have not had a  material  adverse  impact.  As  mentioned  in the June  1996
reporting, a cash dividend was declared in the amount of 30 cents per share. The
dividend was  subsequently  paid on July 22, 1996 to shareholders of record July
8, 1996.  Further,  as  mentioned in the March 1996  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.
<PAGE>

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


                       Minimum

Leverage Ratio          4.00%      11.99%   11.82%    11.53%    11.59%

         Management regularly monitors the asset/liability  sensitivity position
to assure maintenance of adequate  liquidity and a satisfactory  balance between
interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities.


Results of Operations

         Net income for the third  quarter of 1996 was $1,806  thousand  or $.85
per share compared with $1,651  thousand or $.77 per share for the third quarter
of 1995. This is an increase of 10% in earnings per share.

         Net income for the  current  nine month  period was $5,134  thousand or
$2.41 per share  compared  with $4,428  thousand or $2.07 per share for the same
period of 1995, an increase of $706 thousand or 16%.

         As in the first two quarters,  a factor favorably  influencing earnings
was a decline in noninterest  operating  expenses as virtually no FDIC insurance
expense was incurred in this third quarter of 1996.  This is to be compared with
$192  thousand  that was  recorded in each of the first two  quarters  and a $17
thousand net credit that was recorded in the third  quarter 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.  For the last quarter of 1995,  FDIC premium expense was a modest $34
thousand. In addition, income was favorably impacted in the third quarter 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 of 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.

         Net interest income  continues as the  Corporation's  primary source of
income.  Net interest  income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 increased
$253  thousand or 5.3% over the third quarter of 1995.  Net interest  income for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1996  increased  $779 thousand or 5.5% over
the same period of 1995. The related net interest margin of 5.12%,  however, was
less than that of the same nine month  period last year by seven  basis  points,
paralleling the same differential reported at June 30, 1996.

         Noninterest income net of securities transactions showed an increase of
$53  thousand  or 5.5% for the third  quarter  of 1996  compared  with the third
quarter of 1995,  and an increase  of $302  thousand or 11.4% for the nine month
period  of 1996  compared  with the nine  month  period  of  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 nine month  periods in  comparison to a small gain reported in
the first quarter of 1995.

         Operating  expenses  showed an  increase  of $63  thousand in the third
quarter of 1996  compared  with the third  quarter of 1995.  For the nine months
ended September 30, 1996,  operating expenses decreased in total by $43 thousand
when compared to the similar previous period.  The positive variance between the
compared nine month periods was due to the virtual elimination of FDIC insurance
expense. After excluding FDIC insurance, total operating expenses increased 3.3%
in the 1996 nine month period, as compared to the similar 1995 period.

         No provisions for loan losses were considered necessary for the current
or previously reported periods.

         Return on average  assets  (ROA) and  return on  average  stockholders'
equity  (ROE)  for  the  current  nine  month  period  were  1.57%  and  13.54%,
respectively,  compared  with 1.44% and  13.10%,  respectively,  for the similar
period of 1995.

Other Information

     Capital  expenditures  for the year were budgeted 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 nine months  ended  September  30, 1996  amounted to $381  thousand  and are
expected to remain below 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

<PAGE>

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).  At the time of approval,
there were also 16,117 shares (on an adjusted  basis) that were  available to be
repurchased  from  the  prior  plan.  The  authorization  for  the  latest  plan
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,
36,739 shares remain to be repurchased  under the current plan. The total number
of repurchases completed during the present nine month period was 16,878 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  subsidiary  bank underwent a routine safety and soundness and Bank
Information  Systems (BIS)  examination  during the current third quarter by the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.  The Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency also 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
Meeting 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

<PAGE>

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 as well as for full  service
offices.
