         LONG ISLAND BANCORP, INC. REPORTS RECORD THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS
 
        Melville,  New York, July 28, 1998 - Long Island Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:
LISB), the holding company for The Long Island Savings Bank, FSB, today reported
record earnings of $15.9 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.68 for the
quarter  ended June 30,  1998,  representing  the ninth  consecutive  quarter of
increased earnings (excluding one-time charges).  Net income for the same period
in 1997 was $12.4 million, or $0.54 per diluted share. For the nine months ended
June 30, 1998, net income totaled $43.0 million, an increase of $6.5 million, or
17.8%, from $36.5 million earned in fiscal 1997.  Diluted earnings per share for
the nine month  periods  in 1998 and 1997 were  $1.85 and  $1.56,  respectively.
Basic earnings per share for the three and nine month periods in 1998 were $0.71
and $1.92,  respectively,  compared with $0.56 and $1.62 for the same periods in
1997.
         Commenting  on the  third  quarter  earnings,  John  J.  Conefry,  Jr.,
Chairman  of the Board  and Chief  Executive  Officer  stated,  "We are proud to
report our ninth consecutive quarter of increased earnings. Our return on equity
for the quarter reached 11.1%,  which reflects an operating  efficiency level of
51%. We also experienced a record level of retail loan originations for the nine
months ended June 30, 1998 of $2.2 billion, reflecting the strong demand for our
mortgage products."

Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended June 30, 1998
- - ----------------------------------------------------
         Net interest  income  declined  marginally to $39.8 million  during the
quarter ended June 30, 1998 from $40.0 million in the same quarter of 1997.  The
decline in net interest income is  attributable  to the continued  flattening of
the yield curve,  coupled with a higher level of average  borrowed funds.  These
factors  contributed  to a decline in the net  interest  margin to 2.58% for the
quarter  ended June 30, 1998 as compared  with 2.88% for the quarter  ended June
30, 1997.
         Total non-interest income increased by $3.1 million, or 31.8%, to $13.0
million for the quarter  ended June 30,  1998  compared  with the same period in
1997.  This  increase  is  attributable  to  increases  in other  income of $1.5
million,  an increase of $0.7 million in net gains on investments in real estate
and  premises,  an  increase  of $0.6  million in net gains on asset  sales,  an
increase of $0.6 million in deposit service fee income,  and an increase of $0.3
million in income from insurance and securities commissions.  These improvements
were  partially  offset by a  decrease  of $0.7  million in loan  servicing  fee
income.  The increase in other income was primarily  due to the  settlement of a
real estate  dispute in the amount of $1.6 million.  Net gains on investments in
real estate and premises were principally comprised of greater income from joint
venture  operations in the 1998 quarter as compared  with the 1997 quarter.  Net
gains from asset  sales  reflects  increases  of $0.3  million in the  Company's
mortgage  banking  activities and $0.4 million from the sale of MBS's classified
as  available-for-sale.  Deposit  service  fee income  increased  from  recently
implemented deposit pricing initiatives.  The decline in loan service fee income
is due to a $1.6  million  increase in the  amortization  of mortgage  servicing
rights which resulted from increased mortgage  refinancing  activity.  Partially
offsetting the rise in  amortization  was greater fee income stemming from a net
increase of $440.7 million in the mortgage servicing portfolio.
         Total G&A expense decreased by $3.5 million, or 12.6%, to $24.3 million
for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1998  compared  with the same period in fiscal
1997. This decrease  represents the fourth consecutive  quarter of declining G&A
expense.  Contributing  to this decrease were  reductions  in  compensation  and
benefit costs of $2.1 million,  office  occupancy and equipment  expense of $0.8
million,  advertising  expense of $0.4  million,  and other G&A  expense of $0.2
million  Compensation  and benefit  costs  decreased due to greater net deferred
loan costs  resulting from increased loan production and a decline in the number
of employees.  Office occupancy and equipment  expense  decreased due to reduced
machine  maintenance  costs of $0.4  million,  and real  estate  tax  certiorari
refunds of $0.2 million.  Advertising  costs  decreased  due to fewer  marketing
initiatives.
         Income tax expense  increased  to $10.5  million for the quarter  ended
June  30,  1998  from  $7.9  million  for the 1997  quarter.  This  increase  is
principally attributable to greater pre-tax income.

 Earnings Summary for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 1998
 --------------------------------------------------------
         Net interest  income  decreased  by $1.3  million,  or 1.1%,  to $119.1
million during the nine months ended June 30, 1998 compared with the same period
in 1997. This decrease is  attributable to a continuing  flattening of the yield
curve  coupled  with an  increase  in  average  borrowed  funds.  These  factors
contributed to a decline in the net interest  margin to 2.66% in the 1998 period
from 2.95% in the 1997 period.
         Total non-interest income increased by $5.2 million, or 18.8%, to $32.6
million for the nine months ended June 30, 1998  compared with $27.4 million for
the 1997 period.  This  increase is  primarily  due to increases in net gains on
asset sales of $4.4  million,  an increase of $1.5 million in other  income,  an
increase of $1.0 million in net gains on investment in real estate and premises,
an increase of $0.6 million in income from insurance and securities commissions,
and  an  increase  of  $0.5  million  in  deposit  service  fee  income.   These
improvements  were partially  offset by a decline in loan servicing fees of $2.9
million.  The increased  gains on asset sales is primarily due to an improvement
of $1.7 million in the Company's mortgage banking activities and greater profits
of $2.1 million from the sale of MBS's  classified  as  available-for-sale.  The
increases in other  income,  net gains on investment in real estate and premises
and deposit service fee income increased due to the factors  described  earlier.
The decline in loan service fee income is due to additional  mortgage  servicing
rights amortization of $4.7 million, as a result of increased mortgage refinance
activity,  which was partially offset by the expansion of the mortgage servicing
portfolio.
         Total G&A expense decreased by $6.4 million,  or 7.9%, to $75.0 million
for the nine months ended June 30, 1998  compared with the same period in fiscal
1997. Contributing to this decrease were reductions in compensation and benefits
costs of $3.6 million, a decrease in federal insurance premiums of $1.1 million,
a decrease in office occupancy and equipment costs of $0.9 million and a decline
in advertising expense of $1.5 million.  Compensation and benefits costs, office
occupancy and equipment costs and advertising  costs declined due to the reasons
described earlier.  Federal insurance premiums decreased as a result of the 1996
enactment  of the  BIF/SAIF  legislation.  The  effect  of these  decreases  was
partially  offset by a $0.7 million  increase in other G & A expense  reflecting
the  outsourcing  of  computer  processing  operations  and an increase in legal
costs.
         Income tax expense increased $3.4 million to $27.7 million for the 
nine months ended June 30, 1998 from $24.3 million for the 1997 period.  
This increase primarily reflects greater pre-tax income.

Balance Sheet Summary
- - ---------------------
         Total assets at June 30, 1998 were $6.5 billion,  an increase of $553.1
million  since  September  30,  1997.  The growth in assets is  attributable  to
increases of $251.8 million in investment in debt and equity securities,  $123.7
million in cash and cash equivalents,  $94.0 million in total net loans held for
investment and sale, and $79.4 million in MBS's. Loan volume for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998 was $2.2  billion,  of which $8.1  million  represents  bulk
purchases  of  loans  as  compared   with  $2.1  billion  and  $221.9   million,
respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 1997.
         Total  liabilities  at June 30, 1998 were $5.9 billion,  an increase of
$522.0  million  since  September  30, 1997.  The increase in total  liabilities
primarily  reflects  an increase  in  borrowed  funds of $541.1  million to $2.0
billion,  offset by a decrease in deposit  liabilities  of $52.3 million to $3.7
billion at June 30, 1998.
         Stockholders'  equity increased by $31.1 million to $577.5 million from
September 30, 1997. The increase  consists of earnings of $43.0 million and $6.4
million  related to the Company's  stock benefit  plans.  These  increases  were
offset by a decline of $3.8 million in unrealized gains on securities classified
as available-for-sale,  net of tax, the net purchase (prior to April 2, 1998) of
treasury  stock  of $3.3  million,  and the  declaration  of  $11.2  million  in
dividends. At June 30, 1998 book value per share amounted to $23.88.

         Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to 
conform to the current year presentation.

(a)  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 
     No. 128, "Earning per Share" as of December 31, 1997.  SFAS No.128
     replaces  primary  earnings per share ("EPS") with basic EPS and
     fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing
     income available to common  stockholders by the weighted average number 
     of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the
     potential dilution of options, warrants and convertible securities.  
     Net income per common share amounts for the 1997 periods have been restated
     to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128.
