     LONG ISLAND BANCORP, INC. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END EARNINGS
         Melville,  New York,  October  22,  1996 - Long  Island  Bancorp,  Inc.
(NASDAQ:  LISB), the holding company for The Long Island Savings Bank, FSB today
reported net income of $32.3 million and primary and fully diluted  earnings per
share of $1.33 for the year ended September 30, 1996.  Excluding the effect of a
one-time  SAIF  insurance  assessment  of $18.7  million and the one-time  costs
related to our President's  retirement of $0.05 per share, net income would have
been $44.3 million and primary and fully  diluted  earnings per share would have
been $1.83.  For the year ended  September 30, 1995 net income amounted to $43.5
million and primary and fully  diluted  earnings per share were $1.73 and $1.71,
respectively.
         Excluding the effect of the special charges described above, net income
for the fourth  quarter of 1996 would have been $10.1  million  and  primary and
fully  diluted  earnings per share would have been $0.43.  However,  the Company
reported a net loss of $1.9 million and primary and fully diluted loss per share
of $0.08. For the 1995 fourth quarter,  net income amounted to $11.9 million and
primary and fully diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.47.
         Commenting on the financial  performance this quarter, John J. Conefry,
Jr.,  Chairman of the Board and Chief  Executive  Officer  stated,  "We are very
pleased that Congress has passed legislation that significantly reduces the FDIC
premium disparity that existed between SAIF-insured institutions and BIF-insured
institutions.  For community  banks,  such as The Long Island  Savings Bank, the
premium  disparity was particularly  onerous.  We look upon the one-time pre-tax
special  assessment of $0.45 per share as a positive  investment  for the future
since the Bank's  annual  assessment  rate is  expected  to be reduced  from the
current rate of 23 basis points to approximately 6.4 basis points,  resulting in
a significant annual savings."

EARNINGS SUMMARY FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
- ------------------------------------------------------
         The Company's net interest  income  increased by $1.1 million to $154.4
million  for the year ended  September  30,  1996.  The  increase  is  primarily
attributable to the  redeployment of funds from  mortgage-backed  securities and
debt and equity  securities  into real estate loans at a positive  interest rate
spread. The utilization of additional borrowed funds, however,  contributed to a
20 basis point decline in the net interest margin to 3.24% in 1996 from 3.44% in
1995.
         The  provision  for possible loan losses was reduced by $0.3 million to
$6.2 million for the year ended September 30, 1996. This reduction  reflects the
stable level of  non-performing  loans,  which at  September  30, 1996 was $52.7
million, and the improvement in the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans
to 1.69% in 1996,  down from 2.67% in 1995. Net charge-offs for 1996 amounted to
$6.6  million,  the lowest  level in the past  seven  years and the ratio of net
charge-offs to average loans outstanding declined for the third consecutive year
to 0.27%.
         Total  non-interest  income  increased by $11.7 million,  or 40.2%,  to
$40.8  million in the year ended  September 30, 1996. A portion of the growth in
non-interest  income was due to an increase of $6.7 million in net gains on sale
activity.  The increase in net gains on sale activity  reflects the execution of
management's  strategy of periodically  realizing profits in the Company's loan,
investment  and funding  portfolios.  As interest rates changed during the year,
the Company realized profits in the available-for-sale portfolios which resulted
in increased  liquidity and improved the Company's  ability to take advantage of
higher yielding investments as they become available.  Total non-interest income
also  benefited by an increase of $2.7 million in the net gain on investments in
real estate and premises.  During 1996, the Company  disposed of ten real estate
investment  properties,  most of  which  were the  result  of  various  business
acquisitions and were not necessary to support its core businesses.  In addition
to the above,  loan  servicing  fees  increased by $1.0 million  reflecting  the
continued  expansion of mortgage servicing  activities and income from insurance
and  securities  commissions  increased  by  $0.8  million  reflecting  expanded
delivery channels.
         Total  non-interest  expense  increased by $30.5 million,  or 29.7%, to
$133.0  million  in  the  year  ended  September  30,  1996.  The  increase  was
principally  the  result  of the SAIF  insurance  special  assessment  discussed
previously  and  an  increase  of  $6.5  million  in  compensation   costs.  The
incremental  compensation  costs were the result of the rise in the price of the
Company's  common  stock and its impact on the  Company's  stock  based  benefit
plans, as well as retirement costs and normal annual salary increases. Beginning
on January 1, 1997,  the  Company  anticipates  a  reduction  in its stock based

<PAGE>

benefit costs as a result of plan modifications recently adopted.  Occupancy and
equipment  costs  increased by $2.1 million and other G&A expenses  increased by
$1.5 million in 1996 primarily reflecting the Company's continued  technological
investments to improve its  information and  communication  systems coupled with
its recent acquisitions of First Home Mortgage of Virginia,  Inc. and two of the
mortgage  origination  offices  of Fleet  Mortgage  Company.  Advertising  costs
increased by $1.2 million as a result of the Company's television ad campaign.
         Income  tax  expense  decreased  by $6.1  million,  or 20.5%,  to $23.8
million in the year ended  September 30, 1996.  This decrease is attributable to
the decrease in pretax income  partially  offset by an increase in the effective
tax rate to 42.4% in 1996 from 40.7% in 1995.  The increase in the effective tax
rate principally  reflects  limitations  placed on the tax deductibility of ESOP
contributions  that arise from  increases in the price of the  Company's  common
stock.

FOURTH QUARTER EARNINGS SUMMARY
- -------------------------------
         The  Company's net interest  income  increased by $0.6 million to $38.7
million in the quarter ended  September  30, 1996.  The increase in net interest
income is  attributable  to the growth of the average real estate loan portfolio
to $2.9 billion at September  30, 1996 from $1.8 billion at September  30, 1995.
This  growth  was  funded  by a $650.1  million  reduction  in the  average  MBS
portfolio  and a $288.7  million  increase in average  borrowed  funds.  The net
interest  margin  declined to 3.09% in the 1996  quarter  from 3.27% in the 1995
quarter partially as a result of the increase in borrowed funds.
         Total non-interest income increased by $2.3 million, or 26.9%, to $10.8
million in the quarter ended September 30,1996.  The increase is principally due
to an  improvement  in net gains on sale activity of $2.0 million and additional
loan servicing fees of $0.7 million.  The $2.0 million increase in the net gains
on sale  activity  reflects  management's  strategy as  previously  described of
realizing portfolio profits and capitalizing on reinvestment  opportunities that
arise  as  interest  rates  fluctuate.  The  increase  of $0.7  million  in loan
servicing  fees  reflects the growth of the mortgage  servicing  portfolio.  The
decline in other income is due to the positive impact in the 1995 quarter of the
resolution of an outstanding claim of approximately $0.9 million that had arisen
from a prior acquisition.
         Total  non-interest  expense  increased by $24.6 million,  or 93.2%, to
$51.0  million  in the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1996.  The  increase  in
non-interest  expense is principally a result of the one-time $18.7 million SAIF
assessment   discussed  earlier.   Further  contributing  to  the  increase  are
additional compensation and benefit costs, office occupancy and equipment costs,
and other G&A expenses. Compensation and benefit costs increased by $5.3 million
due to greater  costs  related  to stock  based  benefit  plans  reflecting  the

<PAGE>

appreciation of the Company's common stock, retirement costs and the integration
of our recent  mortgage  banking  acquisitions.  Office  occupancy and equipment
costs  and  other G&A  expenses  increased  by $0.4  million  and $0.8  million,
respectively, also stemming from the acquisitions. The effect of these increases
was  mitigated by a decrease in  advertising  costs of $0.6  million  which were
higher in the 1995 quarter due to the Company's decision to promote its consumer
banking and mortgage lending businesses.
         Income tax expense  decreased by $7.9 million to a $1.0 million benefit
for the quarter ended  September 30, 1996.  This decrease is attributable to the
decrease in pretax  income  partially  offset by a decline in the  effective tax
rate to 35.0% in 1996 from 36.5% in 1995.  The effective  tax rates  principally
reflect reductions in the Company's deferred tax valuation allowance pursuant to
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY
- ---------------------
         Total assets at September  30, 1996 were $5.4  billion,  an increase of
$462.2  million from the amount  reported at September  30, 1995.  The growth in
assets is attributable to an increase of $1.0 billion in total loans  receivable
held  for  investment   partially   offset  by  a  $536.5  million  decrease  in
mortgage-backed  securities. Loan volume for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1996 was $2.5  billion of which  $353.8  million  represents  bulk  purchases of
loans.
         The  increase in total  liabilities  primarily  reflects an increase in
borrowed funds of $344.3 million and an increase in deposits of $59.5 million.
         Stockholders'  equity  decreased by $7.1 million during the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1996. The decrease  reflects the declaration of $9.2 million
in dividends,  the net purchase of treasury stock in the amount of $38.0 million
and a $0.3 million  decline in  unrealized  gains on  securities  classified  as
available-for-sale  which was partially  offset by earnings of $32.3 million and
$8.1 million  related to the  Company's  stock benefit  plans.  At September 30,
1996, book value per share amounted to $21.06.
