              NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
                     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The  accompanying   unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the
accounts  of  Bridge   Bancorp,   Inc.  (the  Registrant  or  Company)  and  its
wholly-owned  subsidiary,  The  Bridgehampton  National  Bank  (the  Bank).  The
consolidated   financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with
generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial  information and
with  the  instructions  to Form  10-QSB  and Item  310(b)  of  Regulation  S-B.
Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and footnotes  required
by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.
In preparing the interim financial statements, management has made estimates and
assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and the
revenue and expense for the reported periods. Actual future results could differ
significantly  from  these  estimates.   In  the  opinion  of  management,   all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair  presentation  have been included.  Operating  results are not  necessarily
indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year ended  December 31,
1996. For further  information,  refer to the consolidated  financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 1995.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation


Financial Condition
- -------------------

The assets of the Registrant totaled  $198,380,000 at June 30, 1996, an increase
of $ 14,310,000 or 7.8% from the year end. This  increase  mainly  resulted from
the  increase  in cash and cash  equivalents  of  $10,365,000  caused  by normal
fluctuations.  Continued  construction of the  Registrant's  new office facility
resulted in an increase in Bank  premises  and  equipment of  $1,001,000  in the
first six months of 1996 as these construction costs are capitalized. The source
of funds for the  increase in assets was derived from an increase in deposits of
$14,019,000 or 8.4%.

Total stockholders' equity was $15,574,000 at June 30, 1996, an increase of 1.0%
over December 31, 1995. The increase of $154,000 was the result of undistributed
net income for the six month period ended June 30, 1996, of $1,022,000  less the
net change in unrealized  appreciation in securities  available for sale, net of
tax, of $439,000; and the purchase of 7520 shares of treasury stock at a cost of
$429,000 or $57 per share.  The  decrease in  securities  available  for sale is
directly  attributable to changes in interest rates.  Management determined such
depreciation  to be  temporary,  and does not expect  future  sales to result in
material loss with regards to results of operations.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

During  the first six  months  of 1996,  the  Registrant  earned  net  income of
$1,330,000 or $2.78 per share as compared with $1,018,000 or $2.12 per share for
the same period in 1995.  Net income for the three month  period  ended June 30,
1996 was $733,000 or $1.54 per share compared to $553,000 or $1.15 per share for
the same  period in 1995.  Highlights  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1996
include:  (i) a  $625,000  or 14.4%  increase  in net  interest  income;  (ii) a
$306,000 or 40.0%  increase in total other income;  and (iii) a $341,000 or 9.6%
increase in total other expenses.

Net  income  for the first six  months of 1996  reflects  annualized  returns of
17.13% on average total  stockholders'  equity and 1.38% on average total assets
as compared to the  corresponding  figures for the  preceding  calendar  year of
14.90% on average total stockholders' equity and 1.11% on average total assets.

Net  interest  income,  the primary  source of income,  increased by $625,000 or
14.5% for the  current six month  period  over the same  period  last year.  The
increase resulted from an increase in average total interest earning assets from
$173,367,000 in the first six months of 1995 to $177,603,000  for the comparable
period in 1996, a 2.4% increase.








<PAGE>
An increase in the net yield on average  earning assets from 5.0% for the period
ended June 30, 1995 to 5.6% for the same period in 1996 also  attributed  to the
increase  in net  interest  income.  The  increase  in the net yield on  average
interest  earning  assets was due to an increase in the average  yield on assets
from 8.1% for the period  ended June 30,  1995 to 8.4% for the same  period this
year. The average cost of liabilities  decreased from 4.0% to 3.8% from the same
period last year.

A $121,000  provision  for  possible  loan  losses was made during the six month
period ended June 30, 1996,  compared to a $90,000 provision for the same period
in 1995. The allowance for possible loan losses  decreased to $1,017,000 at June
30, 1996,  as compared to  $1,038,000  at December 31, 1995.  As a percentage of
loans the  allowance  was 0.90% at June 30, 1996 and .93% at December  31, 1995.
The allowance as a percentage of  nonperforming  loans (including loans past due
90 days or more and still  accruing)  was 1142.7% at June 30,  1996  compared to
204.3% at December 31, 1995. The allowance reflects  management's  evaluation of
classified  loans,  charge-off  trends,   concentrations  of  credit  and  other
pertinent  factors.  It also reflects input from the Bank's 1995  examination by
the  Office  of  the  Comptroller  of  the  Currency  and  outside  loan  review
consultants.

Total other income  increased during the six month period ended June 30, 1996 by
$306,000 or 40.0% over the same period last year. The increase was the result of
mortgage  banking  activities  totalling  $276,000,  an  increase of $165,000 or
148.7%  over the same  period  last year.  The  increase is caused by the Bank's
efforts to  further  penetrate  the  mortgage  market.  Other  operating  income
increased  $177,000 or 65.6% over the same period last year mainly as the result
of recoveries on nonperforming loans.

Total other expenses  increased  during the six month period ended June 30, 1996
by  $6,000  or .4%  over the same  period  last  year.  A  decrease  in the FDIC
assessment  by $142,000 or 83.2% was offset by the  following  increases:  (i) a
loss of $65,000 principally resulting from the settlement of a lawsuit involving
a dispute over signing authority on a partnership account which arose out of the
normal conduct of business;  (ii) increase in advertising  expense of $44,000 or
87.2%  resulting  from  the  creative  development  costs  of a new  advertising
campaign; and (iii) increase in legal expenses by $37,000
primarily  resulting  from  costs  relative  to the  adoption  and set up of the
Registrant's equity incentive plan.

The provision for income taxes increased  during the six month period ended June
30,  1996 by $247,000  or 58.3% over the same  period  last year.  The  increase
reflects the growth in income before income taxes.
