NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accounting and reporting policies of The First of Long Island Corporation reflect banking industry practice and conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates, such as the allowance for loan losses, and assumptions that affect the reported asset and liability balances, revenue and expense amounts, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The First of Long Island Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Long Island. The Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries: FNY Service Corp., an investment company, and The First of Long Island Agency, Inc., a licensed insurance agency under the laws of the State of New York. The Bank and FNY Service Corp. jointly own another subsidiary, The First of Long Island REIT, Inc., a real estate investment trust. The consolidated entity is referred to as the “Corporation” and the Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Bank.” All intercompany balances and amounts have been eliminated. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The consolidated financial information included herein as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is unaudited. However, such information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. The December 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Corporation's December 31, 2014 audited consolidated financial statements. When appropriate, items in the prior year financial statements are reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

2 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income but excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income for the Corporation consists of unrealized holding gains or losses on available-for-sale securities and changes in the funded status of the Bank’s defined benefit pension plan, both net of related income taxes. Accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

The components of other comprehensive income and the related tax effects are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
	(in thousands)
Change in net unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale securities:
Change arising during period	$	2,584		$	10,196

Change in net unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale securities		2,584			10,193
Tax effect		1,014			4,180

Change in funded status of pension plan:
Amortization of prior service cost included in pension expense (2)		-			4
Tax effect		(37	)		(14	)
		37			18

Other comprehensive income	$	1,607		$	6,031

(1) Reclassification adjustment represents net realized gain arising from the sale of available-for-sale securities. The net realized gain is included in the consolidated statements of income in the line item, “Net gains on sales of securities.” See “Note 3 – Investment Securities” for the income tax expense related to the net realized gain.

(2) Represents the amortization into expense of prior service cost and net actuarial loss relating to the Bank’s defined benefit pension plan. These items are included in net periodic pension cost (see Note 6) and in the consolidated statements of income in the line item, “Employee benefits.” The related income tax expense is included in the consolidated statements of income in the line item, “Income tax expense.”

The following sets forth the components of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax:

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, investment securities with a carrying value of $346,773,000 and $369,951,000, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and borrowed funds.

There were no holdings of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

Securities With Unrealized Losses. The following tables set forth securities with unrealized losses presented by the length of time the securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.

Total temporarily impaired	$	34,806	$	(229	)	$	138,981	$	(1,988	)	$	173,787	$	(2,217	)

Because the unrealized losses reflected in the preceding tables are deemed by management to be attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit losses, and because management does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, the Bank does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015.

Sales of Available-for-Sale Securities. Sales of available-for-sale securities were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015		2014
	(in thousands)
Proceeds	$	-	$	2,653

Gross gains	$	-	$	19
Gross losses		-		(16	)
Net gain	$	-	$	3

Income tax expense for three months ended March 31, 2014 related to the net realized gain was $1,000.

Sales of Held-to-Maturity Securities. During the first quarter of 2014, the Bank sold certain mortgage-backed securities that were classified as held-to-maturity securities. The sales occurred after the Bank collected 85% or more of the principal outstanding at acquisition of each security. The securities sold had a carrying value of $1.2 million at the time of sale and the Bank realized a gain upon sale of $66,000.

Table of Contents

Table of Contents

For individually impaired loans, the following tables set forth by class of loans at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the recorded investment, unpaid principal balance and related allowance. The tables also set forth the average recorded investment of individually impaired loans and interest income recognized while the loans were impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The recorded investment is the unpaid principal balance of the loans less any interest payments applied to principal and any direct chargeoffs plus or minus net deferred loan costs and fees. Any principal and interest payments received on nonaccrual impaired loans are applied to the recorded investment in the loans. The Bank recognizes interest income on other impaired loans using the accrual method of accounting.

Nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2015 include $280,000 of revolving home equity loans that are in the process of foreclosure. There were no loans in the process of foreclosure at December 31, 2014. The Bank does not hold any foreclosed residential real estate property at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. A restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring when it includes a concession by the Bank and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed as to the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. The Bank performs the evaluation under its internal underwriting policy.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Bank did not modify any loans in troubled debt restructurings.

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank had an allowance for loan losses of $55,000 and $60,000, respectively, allocated to specific troubled debt restructurings. The Bank had no commitments to lend additional amounts to loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings.

There were no troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 that were modified during the twelve-month period prior to default. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

Risk Characteristics. Credit risk within the Bank’s loan portfolio primarily stems from factors such as borrower size, geographic concentration, industry concentration, real estate values, local and national economic conditions and environmental impairment of properties securing mortgage loans. The Bank’s commercial loans, including those secured by mortgages, are primarily made to small and medium-sized businesses. Such loans sometimes involve a higher degree of risk than those to larger companies because such businesses may have shorter operating histories, higher debt-to-equity ratios and may lack sophistication in internal record keeping and financial and operational controls. In addition, most of the Bank’s loans are made to businesses and consumers on Long Island and in the boroughs of New York City, and a large percentage of these loans are mortgage loans secured by properties located in those areas. The primary source of repayment for multifamily loans is cash flows from the underlying properties, a substantial portion of which are rent stabilized or rent controlled. Such cash flows are dependent on the strength of the local economy.

Table of Contents

Credit Quality Indicators. The Corporation categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the borrower’s ability to service their debt including, but not limited to, current financial information for the borrower and any guarantors, payment experience, credit underwriting documentation, public records and current economic trends.

Commercial and industrial loans, including small business credit scored loans, and commercial mortgage loans, including construction and land development loans, are risk rated utilizing a ten point rating system. Residential mortgages, home equity lines and other consumer loans are risk rated utilizing a three point rating system. The ten and three point risk rating systems are described hereinafter.

Internally Assigned Risk Rating

1 – 2	Cash flow is of high quality and stable. Borrower has very good liquidity and ready access to traditional sources of credit. This category also includes loans to borrowers secured by cash and/or marketable securities within approved margin requirements.
3 – 4	Cash flow quality is strong, but shows some variability. Borrower has good liquidity and asset quality. Borrower has access to traditional sources of credit with minimal restrictions.
5 – 6	Cash flow quality is acceptable but shows some variability. Liquidity varies with operating cycle and assets provide an adequate margin of protection. Borrower has access to traditional sources of credit, but generally on a secured basis.
7	Watch - Cash flow has a high degree of variability and subject to economic downturns. Liquidity is strained and the ability of the borrower to access traditional sources of credit is diminished.
8	Special Mention - The borrower has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to risk sufficient to warrant adverse classification.
9	Substandard - Loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
10	Doubtful - Loans have all the inherent weaknesses of those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Risk ratings on commercial and industrial loans and commercial mortgages are initially assigned by the lending officer together with any necessary approval authority. The ratings are periodically reviewed and evaluated based upon borrower contact, credit department review or independent loan review.

The Bank's loan risk rating and review policy establishes requirements for the annual review of commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. The requirements include details of the scope of coverage and selection process based on loan-type and risk rating. Among other requirements, at least 60% of the recorded investment of commercial real estate loans as of December 31 of the prior year must be reviewed annually. The frequency of the review of other loans is determined by the Bank’s ongoing assessments of the borrower’s condition.

Residential mortgage loans, revolving home equity lines and other consumer loans are risk rated utilizing a three point rating system. In most cases, the borrower’s credit score dictates the risk rating. However, regardless of credit score, loans that are on management’s watch list or have been criticized or classified by management are assigned a risk rating of 3. A credit score is a tool used in the Bank’s loan approval process, and a minimum score of 680 is generally required for new loans. Credit scores for each borrower are updated at least annually. The risk ratings along with their definitions are as follows:

Internally Assigned Risk Rating

1	Credit score is equal to or greater than 680.
2	Credit score is 635 to 679.
3	Credit score is below 635 or, regardless of credit score, the loan has been classified, criticized or placed on watch.

5 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On April 22, 2014, the stockholders of the Corporation approved the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”). Upon approval of the 2014 Plan, no further awards can be made under the 2006 Stock Compensation Plan (“2006 Plan”).

2014 Plan. Under the 2014 Plan, awards may be granted to employees and non-employee directors as incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), or any combination thereof, any of which may be subject to performance-based vesting conditions. The exercise price of ISOs and NQSOs granted under the 2014 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the Corporation’s common stock on the date the stock option is granted. 1,500,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock are reserved for awards under the 2014 Plan. Awards granted under the 2006 Plan that expire or are forfeited after April 22, 2014 will be added to the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance of awards under the 2014 Plan. All of the 1,500,000 shares may be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options or SARs. A maximum of 525,000 shares may be issued as restricted stock awards or RSUs. At March 31, 2015, 1,423,311 shares of common stock remain available for issuance of awards under the 2014 Plan of which 440,292 shares remain available for issuance as restricted stock awards or RSUs. The 2014 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Table of Contents

2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan was approved by the stockholders of the Corporation on April 18, 2006 as a successor to the 1996 Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan. The 2006 Plan permitted the granting of stock options, SARs, restricted stock awards and RSUs to employees and non-employee directors. Under the terms of the 2006 Plan, stock options and SARs could not have an exercise price that was less than 100% of the fair market value of one share of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Board of Directors used a five year vesting period and a ten year term for stock options granted under the 2006 Plan.

All awards made to date under the 2014 and 2006 Plans immediately vest in the event of a change in control, total and permanent disability, as defined, or death. In addition, except for RSUs granted in January 2015 to the officers named in the Corporation’s most recent proxy statement (“NEOs”), all awards granted to date immediately vest upon retirement.

Fair Value of Stock Option Awards. The grant date fair value of option awards is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were no stock options granted by the Corporation’s Board of Directors during 2014 or the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Fair Value of RSUs. The grant date fair value of RSUs is based on the market price of the shares underlying the awards on the grant date, discounted for dividends which are not paid on RSUs.

Compensation Expense. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized ratably over a five-year vesting period or the period from the grant date to the grantee’s eligible retirement date, whichever is shorter. Compensation expense for RSUs that vest based on the financial performance of the Corporation is recognized over a three-year performance period and adjusted periodically to reflect the estimated number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock into which the RSUs will ultimately be convertible. However, except for RSUs granted to NEOs in January 2015, if the period from the grant date and the grantee’s eligible retirement date is less than three years, compensation expense is recognized ratably over this shorter period. Compensation expense for service-based RSUs is recognized over the applicable service-based vesting period.

In determining compensation expense for stock options and RSUs outstanding and not yet vested, the Corporation assumes, based on prior experience, that no forfeitures will occur. The Corporation recorded compensation expense for share-based payments of $440,000 and $349,000 and recognized related income tax benefits of $172,000 and $142,000 in the first three months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Stock Option Activity. The following table presents a summary of options outstanding under the Corporation’s stock-based compensation plans as of March 31, 2015, and changes during the three-month period then ended.

	Number of Options			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (yrs.)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)

Exercisable at March 31, 2015		249,174		$	15.58		3.68	$	2,471

All options outstanding at March 31, 2015 are either fully vested or expected to vest. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the first three months of 2015 and 2014 was $178,000 and $313,000, respectively.

RSU Activity. The following table presents a summary of RSUs outstanding under the Corporation’s stock-based compensation plans as of March 31, 2015 and changes during the three-month period then ended.

	Number of RSUs			Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (yrs.)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding at January 1, 2015		127,181		$	20.56

The number of RSUs in the table represents the maximum number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock into which the RSUs can be converted. All of the RSUs outstanding at March 31, 2015 are currently expected to vest and become convertible in the future. The total intrinsic value of RSUs converted during the first three months of 2015 and 2014 was $965,000 and $348,000, respectively.

Table of Contents

Unrecognized Compensation Cost. As of March 31, 2015, there was $2,101,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested equity awards comprised of $62,000 for options and $2,039,000 for RSUs. The total cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years, which is based on weighted-average periods of .8 years and 2.3 years for options and RSUs, respectively.

Cash Received and Tax Benefits Realized. Cash received from option exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $247,000 and $416,000, respectively. The actual tax benefits realized for the tax deductions from option exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $65,000 and $110,000, respectively.

Other. No cash was used to settle stock options during the first three months of 2015 or 2014. The Corporation uses newly issued shares to settle stock option exercises and for the conversion of RSUs.

6 - DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN

The following table sets forth the components of net periodic pension cost.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
	(in thousands)
Service cost including expected expenses and net of expected plan participant contributions	$	297		$	279
Interest cost		352			352

Amortization of prior service cost		-			4
Amortization of net actuarial loss		-			-
Net pension credit	$	(122	)	$	(117	)

The Bank makes cash contributions to the pension plan (“Plan”) which comply with the funding requirements of applicable Federal laws and regulations. For funding purposes, the laws and regulations set forth both minimum required and maximum tax-deductible contributions. The Bank has no minimum required pension contribution for the Plan year ending September 30, 2015 and it cannot make a tax-deductible contribution for the tax year beginning January 1, 2015.

7 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value. When measuring fair value, the Corporation uses a fair value hierarchy, which is designed to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The hierarchy involves three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Corporation’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Corporation deems transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy to have occurred on the date of the event or change in circumstance that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014.

The fair values of the Corporation’s investment securities designated as available-for-sale at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are set forth in the tables that follow. These values are determined on a recurring basis using matrix pricing (Level 2 inputs). Matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities, does not rely exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather on the relationship of such securities to other benchmark quoted securities.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2014, are set forth in the table that follows. There were no such assets at March 31, 2015. Real estate appraisals utilized in measuring the fair value of impaired loans may employ a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. In arriving at fair value, the Corporation adjusts the value set forth in the appraisal by deducting costs to sell and a distressed sale adjustment. The adjustments made by the appraisers and the Corporation are deemed to be significant unobservable inputs and therefore result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs used for determining the fair value of impaired loans. Because the Corporation has a small amount of impaired loans measured at fair value, the impact of unobservable inputs on the Corporation’s financial statements is not material.

The impaired loan set forth in the preceding table had a principal balance of $179,000 and valuation allowance of $6,000 at December 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Corporation recorded credit provisions for loan losses of $6,000 and $25,000, respectively, for impaired loans measured at fair value.

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time. Such estimates are generally subjective in nature and dependent upon a number of significant assumptions associated with each financial instrument or group of similar financial instruments, including estimates of discount rates, risks associated with specific financial instruments, estimates of future cash flows, and relevant available market information. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, fair value estimates do not reflect the value of anticipated future business, premiums or discounts that could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporation’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, or the tax consequences of realizing gains or losses on the sale of financial instruments.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Corporation in measuring the fair value of financial instruments disclosed in the preceding table.

Cash and cash equivalents. The recorded book value of cash and cash equivalents is their fair value.

Investment securities. Fair values are based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or derived principally from observable market data.

Loans. The total loan portfolio is divided into three segments: (1) residential mortgages; (2) commercial mortgages and commercial loans; and (3) and consumer loans. Each segment is further divided into pools of loans with similar financial characteristics (i.e. product type, fixed versus variable rate, time to rate reset, length of term, conforming versus nonconforming). Cash flows for each pool, including estimated prepayments if applicable, are discounted utilizing market or internal benchmarks which management believes are reflective of current market rates for similar loan products. The discounted value of the cash flows is reduced by the related allowance for loan losses to arrive at an estimate of fair value.

Restricted stock. The recorded book value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock is their fair value because the stock is redeemable at cost.

Deposit liabilities. The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as checking deposits, money market deposits, NOW accounts and savings deposits, is equal to their recorded book value. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate at which the Bank could currently replace these deposits with wholesale borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Borrowed funds. For short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days, the recorded book value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate at which the Bank could currently replace these borrowings with wholesale borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Accrued interest receivable and payable. For these short-term instruments, the recorded book value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Off-balance-sheet items. The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered to be material.

8 – ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-04 “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The amendments in ASU 2014-04 are intended to reduce diversity in practice by clarifying when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor such as the Bank should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. Additionally, the amendments in ASU 2014-04 require interim and annual disclosure of both the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by a creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. For public entities such as the Corporation, the amendments were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption in 2014 was permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-04 on January 1, 2015 did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11 “Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.” The amendments in ASU 2014-11 change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings to secured borrowing accounting. The amendments also require new disclosures about certain transfers of financial assets and the types of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions. For public entities such as the Corporation, the amendments were generally effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption for public entities was prohibited. The adoption of ASU 2014-11 on January 1, 2015 did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

9 - IMPACT OF ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The pronouncements discussed in this section are not intended to be an all-inclusive list, but rather only those pronouncements that could potentially have an impact on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are intended to improve financial reporting by providing a comprehensive framework for addressing revenue recognition issues that can be applied to all contracts with customers regardless of industry-specific or transaction-specific fact patterns. While the guidance in ASU 2014-09 supersedes most existing industry-specific revenue recognition accounting guidance, much of a bank’s revenue comes from financial instruments such as debt securities and loans that are scoped-out of the guidance. The amendments also include improved disclosures to enable users of financial statements to better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. For public entities such as the Corporation, ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. On April 29, 2015, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Under the proposed ASU, early adoption of the revenue recognition standard would be permitted as of the original effective date of ASU 2014-09. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the amendments in ASU 2014-09 could have on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations and disclosures, but does not currently believe that such impact will be material.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12 “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” ASU 2014-12 provides guidance on the accounting for share-based payments in which the terms of an award provide that an employee can cease rendering service before the end of the period in which a performance target could be achieved and still be eligible to vest in the award if and when the performance target is achieved. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management's discussion and analysis of The First of Long Island Corporation’s financial condition and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements. The Corporation’s financial condition and operating results principally reflect those of its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Long Island, and subsidiaries wholly-owned by the Bank, either directly or indirectly, FNY Service Corp., The First of Long Island REIT, Inc. and The First of Long Island Agency, Inc. The consolidated entity is referred to as the “Corporation” and the Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Bank.” Although, the Bank’s primary service area is Nassau and Suffolk Counties, Long Island, it does have two commercial banking branches in Manhattan.

Overview

Net income and earnings per share for the first quarter of 2015 were $6.5 million and $.46, respectively, representing increases over the same quarter last year of 8.9% and 7.0%, respectively. Dividends per share were $.19 for the first quarter of 2015, or 9.6% more than the split-adjusted dividend of $.1733 per share declared in the same quarter last year. Returns on average assets (ROA) and average equity (ROE) for the first quarter of 2015 were .95% and 11.15%, respectively, versus 1.01% and 11.36%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2014. Book value per share increased from $16.80 at year-end 2014 to $17.19 at the close of the current quarter. The credit quality of the Bank’s loan and securities portfolios remain excellent, and management intends to continue taking advantage of lending and branching opportunities in the Bank’s marketplace.

Table of Contents

Analysis of First Quarter Earnings. Net income increased by $528,000 when comparing the first quarter of 2015 to the same quarter last year. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in net interest income of $1.7 million, or 10.6%, and noninterest income before securities gains of $178,000, or 10.0%, and a decrease in income tax expense of $135,000. The positive impact of these items on earnings was partially offset by increases in noninterest expense of $957,000, or 9.4%, and in the provision for loan losses of $470,000.

The increase in net interest income was driven by growth in average interest-earning assets of 14.9%, partially offset by a 14 basis point decline in net interest margin. The growth in average interest-earning assets is primarily comprised of growth in the average balances of loans and nontaxable securities, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of taxable securities. The shift from taxable securities to better yielding loans and nontaxable securities partially mitigated the negative impact on net interest income of a low interest rate environment. The 14 basis point decline in net interest margin from 3.05% in the first quarter of 2014 to 2.91% for the current quarter occurred as cash flows were deployed in a low interest rate environment. Net interest margin also came down as loan coupons reset to lower levels and prepayments on loans and securities sometimes resulted in the immediate writeoff of deferred costs on loans and the faster amortization of purchase premiums on securities.

The $178,000 increase in noninterest income before securities gains is primarily attributable to real estate and sales tax refunds received in the first quarter of 2015 and an increase in cash value accretion on bank-owned life insurance. The positive impact of these items was partially offset by a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts.

The $957,000 increase in noninterest expense is comprised of increases in salaries, occupancy and equipment expense and employee benefits expense. The impact of these items was partially offset by an expense credit resulting from reducing an accrual for litigation.

Income tax expense decreased by $135,000 despite an increase in income before income taxes of $393,000 primarily because of changes in New York State tax law that became effective January 1, 2015.

Asset Quality. The Bank’s allowance for loan losses to total loans (reserve coverage ratio) decreased by 4 basis points from 1.29% at year-end 2014 to 1.25% at March 31, 2015. The decrease in the reserve coverage ratio is primarily due to a continued improvement in economic conditions.

The credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio remains excellent. Nonaccrual loans amounted to $1.6 million, or .08% of total loans outstanding, at March 31, 2015, compared to $1.7 million, or .09%, at December 31, 2014. Troubled debt restructurings remained relatively unchanged from year-end 2014 totaling $2.0 million as of March 31, 2015. Of this amount, $694,000 is performing in accordance with modified terms and $1.3 million are nonaccrual and included in the aforementioned amount of nonaccrual loans. Loans past due 30 through 89 days amounted to $3.5 million, or .18% of total loans outstanding, at March 31, 2015, compared to $2.2 million, or .12%, at December 31, 2014. Management does not believe that the increase in these past due loans is indicative of a deterioration in the overall credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio.

The credit quality of the Bank’s securities portfolio also remains excellent. The Bank’s mortgage securities are backed by mortgages underwritten on conventional terms, with 82% of these securities being full faith and credit obligations of the U.S. government and the balance being obligations of U.S. government sponsored entities. The remainder of the Bank’s securities portfolio principally consists of high quality, general obligation municipal securities rated AA or better by major rating agencies. In selecting municipal securities for purchase, the Bank uses credit agency ratings for screening purposes only and then performs its own credit analysis. On an ongoing basis, the Bank periodically assesses the credit strength of the municipal securities in its portfolio and makes decisions to hold or sell based on such assessments.

Key Strategic Initiatives. Key strategic initiatives will continue to include loan and deposit growth through effective relationship management, targeted solicitation efforts, new product offerings and continued expansion of the Bank’s branch distribution system. Additionally, with respect to loan growth, the Bank will continue to develop and diversify its existing broker and correspondent relationships. All loans originated through such relationships are underwritten by Bank personnel. The Bank recently opened a new branch in Patchogue, Long Island bringing the Bank’s total branch count to 41 and relocated an existing branch to Melville, Long Island. Management anticipates opening up to four new branches over the next twelve to fifteen months and is continuing to evaluate sites for further branch expansion.

Challenges We Face. Intermediate and long-term interest rates are low and volatile and impacted by both national and global forces. Such rates could remain low for the foreseeable future and thereby cause both investing and lending rates to be suboptimal. There is significant price competition for loans in the Bank’s marketplace and little room for the Bank to further reduce its deposit rates. Higher yielding loans continue to prepay and be replaced with lower yielding loans and there is an ongoing need, from an interest rate risk perspective, to term-fund a portion of the Bank’s loan growth with time deposits and wholesale borrowings. In the current interest rate environment, the spread between lending rates and term-funding rates is relatively small. These factors could result in a decline in net interest margin from its current level and will continue to inhibit earnings growth for the foreseeable future.

The banking industry continues to be faced with new and complex regulatory requirements and enhanced supervisory oversight. These factors are exerting downward pressure on revenues and upward pressure on required capital levels and the cost of doing business.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the first quarter of 2015 was $19.6 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 10.0%, over $17.8 million for the first quarter of last year. The increase resulted from an increase in average interest-earning assets of $347.5 million, or 14.9%, as partially offset by a 14 basis point decline in net interest margin from 3.05% to 2.91%.

The increase in average interest-earning assets is primarily comprised of growth in the average balances of loans of $364.7 million, or 24.6%, and nontaxable securities of $43.9 million, or 11.2%, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of taxable securities of $61.4 million, or 14.0%. Although most of the loan growth occurred in residential and commercial mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans grew as well. A substantial portion of the growth in commercial and industrial loans was in the Banks’s small business credit scored loan products. The Bank’s continued ability to grow loans is attributable to a variety of factors including, among others, competitive pricing, targeted solicitation efforts, advertising campaigns, broker and correspondent relationships for both residential and commercial mortgages and the introduction of new loan products.

Growth in loans and nontaxable securities, to the extent not funded by the decline in taxable securities, was funded by growth in the average balances of noninterest-bearing checking deposits of $41.6 million, or 6.8%, interest-bearing deposits of $165.2 million, or 13.6%, long-term debt of $85.4 million, or 29.2%, and short-term borrowings of $41.6 million, or 71.6%. The increase in long-term debt together with an increase in the average balance of time deposits of $44.3 million, or 15.7%, resulted from management’s desire to reduce the impact that an eventual increase in interest rates could have on the Bank’s earnings. The Bank’s ongoing ability to grow deposits is attributable to, among other things, continued expansion of the Bank’s branch distribution system, targeted solicitation of local commercial businesses and municipalities, new and expanded lending relationships, new small business checking and loan products and the expansion of merchant sales relationships. In addition, management believes that the Bank’s positive reputation and growing recognition in its marketplace has contributed to both loan and deposit growth.

Intermediate and long-term interest rates remain low and volatile. Continuing to lend and invest in a low interest rate environment has caused yields on the Bank’s loan and securities portfolios to trend down. Portfolio yields have also come down because some loans have prepaid in full resulting in the immediate writeoff of deferred costs, the rates on other loans have been modified downward and prepayment speeds on mortgage securities have been elevated resulting in the faster amortization of purchase premiums. In the low interest rate environment, the benefit of no cost funding in the form of noninterest-bearing checking deposits and capital is less and there is little room left for the Bank to further reduce its deposit rates. These factors are primarily responsible for the 14 basis point decline in net interest margin and an 11 basis point decline in net interest spread when comparing the current quarter to the same quarter last year. These factors also explain why strong growth in the average balance of loans of 24.6% was accompanied by lesser growth of 10.6% in net interest income.

Table of Contents

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income includes service charges on deposit accounts, Investment Management Division income, gains or losses on sales of securities, and all other items of income, other than interest, resulting from the business activities of the Corporation.

Noninterest income before securities gains increased by $178,000, or 10.0%, when comparing the first quarter of 2015 to the same quarter last year. The increase is primarily attributable to real estate and sales tax refunds in the first quarter of 2015 of $116,000 and $91,000, respectively, and a $100,000 increase in cash value accretion on bank-owned life insurance. The positive impact of these items was partially offset by a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of $147,000 resulting largely from a decrease in deposit account overdraft activity. Cash value accretion increased due to a fourth quarter 2014 purchase of bank owned life insurance with an initial cash value of $16.9 million. Also contributing to the increase in noninterest income was the successful deployment by management in recent years of a variety of noninterest income initiatives which resulted in growth in charge card fees, income from the sale of mutual funds and annuities, wire transfer service charges and debit card interchange fees.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense is comprised of salaries, employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense and other operating expenses incurred in supporting the various business activities of the Corporation.

Noninterest expense increased by $957,000, or 9.4%, when comparing the first quarter of 2015 to the same quarter last year. The increase is comprised of increases in salaries of $622,000, or 14.0%, occupancy and equipment expense of $221,000, or 9.9%, and employee benefits expense of $150,000, or 12.4%. The impact of these items was partially offset by a $100,000 expense credit resulting from reducing an accrual for litigation. The increase in salaries is primarily due to branch openings, additions to staff in the back office, normal annual salary adjustments and higher stock-based compensation expense. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense is largely due to branch openings, increases in general maintenance and repairs expense and the cost of servicing equipment. The increase in employee benefits expense is largely due to additions to staff and resulting increases in payroll tax expense and the cost of group health insurance coverage.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense as a percentage of book income (“effective tax rate”) was 21.0% for the first quarter of 2015 compared to 23.7% for the same quarter last year. The largest contributor to the decrease in the effective tax rate was the changes in New York State income tax law that became effective January 1, 2015. Also contributing to the decrease, but to a much lesser extent, was the fact that tax-exempt income, including income on bank-owned life insurance, became a larger percentage of pre-tax income.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported asset and liability balances and revenue and expense amounts. Our determination of the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate because it is based on our subjective evaluation of a variety of factors at a specific point in time and involves difficult and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. In the event that management’s estimate needs to be adjusted based on, among other things, additional information that comes to light after the estimate is made or changes in circumstances, such adjustment could result in the need for a significantly different allowance for loan losses and thereby materially impact, either positively or negatively, the Bank’s results of operations.

The Bank’s Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Committee (“ALLL Committee”), which is chaired by the Chief Credit Officer, meets on a quarterly basis and is responsible for determining the allowance for loan losses after considering, among other things, the results of credit reviews performed by the Bank’s independent loan review consultants and the Bank’s credit department. In addition, and in consultation with the Bank’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Risk Officer, the ALLL Committee is responsible for implementing and maintaining accounting policies and procedures surrounding the calculation of the required allowance. The Board Loan Committee reviews and approves the Bank’s Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Policy at least once each calendar year. The Bank’s allowance for loan losses is reviewed and ratified by the Board Loan Committee on a quarterly basis and is subject to periodic examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) whose safety and soundness examination includes a determination as to its adequacy to absorb probable incurred losses.

The first step in determining the allowance for loan losses is to identify loans in the Bank’s portfolio that are individually deemed to be impaired and then measure impairment losses based on either the fair value of collateral or the discounted value of expected future cash flows. In estimating the fair value of real estate collateral, management utilizes appraisals or evaluations adjusted for costs to dispose and a distressed sale adjustment, if needed. Estimating the fair value of collateral other than real estate is also subjective in nature and sometimes requires difficult and complex judgments. Determining expected future cash flows can be more subjective than determining fair values. Expected future cash flows could differ significantly, both in timing and amount, from the cash flows actually received over the loan’s remaining life.

Table of Contents

In addition to estimating losses for loans individually deemed to be impaired, management also estimates collective impairment losses for pools of loans that are not specifically reviewed. The Bank’s highest average annualized loss experience over periods of 24, 36, 48 or 60 months is generally the starting point in determining its allowance for loan losses for each pool of loans. Management believes that this approach appropriately reflects losses from the current economic cycle and those incurred losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio. However, since future losses could vary significantly from those experienced in the past, on a quarterly basis management adjusts its historical loss experience to reflect current conditions. In doing so, management considers a variety of general qualitative factors and then subjectively determines the weight to assign to each in estimating losses. The factors include, among others: (1) delinquencies, (2) economic conditions as judged by things such as median home prices and commercial vacancy rates in the Bank’s service area and national and local unemployment levels, (3) trends in the nature and volume of loans, (4) concentrations of credit, (5) changes in lending policies and procedures, (6) experience, ability and depth of lending staff, (7) changes in the quality of the loan review function, (8) environmental risks, and (9) loan risk ratings. Substantially all of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses allocable to pools of loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment results from these qualitative adjustments to historical loss experience. Because of the nature of the qualitative factors and the difficulty in assessing their impact, management’s resulting estimate of losses may not accurately reflect actual losses in the portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses is comprised of impairment losses on loans specifically reviewed and estimated losses on the pools of loans that are collectively reviewed. Although the allowance for loan losses has two separate components, one for impairment losses on individual loans and one for collective impairment losses on pools of loans, the entire allowance for loan losses is available to absorb realized losses as they occur whether they relate to individual loans or pools of loans.

Asset Quality

The Corporation has identified certain assets as risk elements. These assets include nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned, loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments and still accruing and troubled debt restructurings. These assets present more than the normal risk that the Corporation will be unable to eventually collect or realize their full carrying value. Information about the Corporation’s risk elements is set forth below.

	March 31, 2015			December 31, 2014
	(dollars in thousands)
Nonaccrual loans:
Troubled debt restructurings	$	1,260		$	1,280
Other		328			424
Total nonaccrual loans		1,588			1,704
Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing		-			-
Other real estate owned		-			-
Total nonperforming assets		1,588			1,704
Troubled debt restructurings - performing		694			704
Total risk elements	$	2,282		$	2,408

Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans		.08	%		.09	%
Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and other real estate owned		.08	%		.09	%
Risk elements as a percentage of total loans and other real estate owned		.12	%		.13	%

There were no performing troubled debt restructurings that were past due 30 through 89 days and still accruing at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. The disclosure of other potential problem loans can be found in “Note 4 – Loans” to the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q.

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. When available information confirms that specific loans, or portions thereof, are uncollectible, these amounts are charged off against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses increased by $386,000 during the first three months of 2015, amounting to $23.6 million, or 1.25% of total loans, at March 31, 2015 compared to $23.2 million, or 1.29% of total loans, at December 31, 2014. During the first three months of 2015, the Bank had loan chargeoffs and recoveries of $27,000 and $2,000, respectively, and recorded a provision for loan losses of $411,000. The $411,000 provision for loan losses is primarily attributable to loan growth as partially offset by a continued improvement in economic conditions. The decrease in the reserve coverage ratio is primarily due to a continued improvement in economic conditions. During the first three months of 2014, the Bank had loan chargeoffs and recoveries of $235,000 and $1,000, respectively, and recorded a credit provision for loan losses of $59,000. The $235,000 of chargeoffs were recorded on loans transferred to held-for-sale during the first quarter of 2014. The $59,000 credit provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to an improvement in economic conditions and a decrease in specific reserves on loans individually deemed to be impaired.

Table of Contents

The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management currently believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio. As more fully discussed in the “Application of Critical Accounting Policies” section of this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the process for estimating credit losses and determining the allowance for loan losses as of any balance sheet date is subjective in nature and requires material estimates. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Other detailed information on the Bank’s allowance for loan losses, impaired loans and the aging of loans can be found in “Note 4 – Loans” to the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

The amount of future chargeoffs and provisions for loan losses will be affected by, among other things, economic conditions on Long Island and in New York City. Such conditions could affect the financial strength of the Bank’s borrowers and will affect the value of real estate collateral securing the Bank’s mortgage loans. Loans secured by real estate represent approximately 95% of the Bank’s total loans outstanding at March 31, 2015. Most of these loans were made to borrowers domiciled on Long Island and in the boroughs of New York City. Although economic conditions are showing signs of improvement, they have been sluggish for an extended period of time as characterized by the underutilization of labor resources, suppressed commercial and residential real estate values and, in certain micro markets, elevated commercial real estate vacancies. These conditions have caused some of the Bank’s borrowers to be unable to make the required contractual payments on their loans and could cause the Bank to be unable to realize the full carrying value of such loans through foreclosure or other collection efforts.

Future provisions and chargeoffs could also be affected by environmental impairment of properties securing the Bank’s mortgage loans. At the present time, management is not aware of any environmental pollution originating on or near properties securing the Bank’s loans that would materially affect the carrying value of such loans.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Cash Flows. The Corporation’s primary sources of cash are deposits, maturities and amortization of loans and investment securities, operations and borrowings. The Corporation uses cash from these and other sources to fund loan growth, purchase investment securities, repay borrowings, expand and improve its physical facilities, pay cash dividends and for general operating purposes.

During the first three months of 2015, the Corporation’s cash and cash equivalent position increased by $8.1 million, from $32.9 million at December 31, 2014 to $41.1 million at March 31, 2015. The increase occurred primarily because cash provided by deposit growth, additional long-term borrowings, maturities and paydowns of loans and securities and operations exceeded the cash used to repay short-term borrowings, originate loans and purchase securities.

During the first quarter of 2015, total deposits grew $146.7 million, or 7.4%, to $2.1 billion at March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in savings, NOW and money market deposits of $76.4 million, or 7.6%, and an increase in noninterest-bearing checking balances of $73.8 million, or 11.3%. The increase in noninterest-bearing checking balances was almost entirely attributable to a large deposit by a single customer, a significant portion of which was withdrawn subsequent to quarter end.

Borrowings include short-term and long-term FHLB borrowings and borrowings under repurchase agreements. Total borrowings decreased $85.1 million, or 17.7%, during the first three months of 2015. The decrease is attributable to a reduction in short-term borrowings of $127.3 million, partially offset by an increase in long-term debt of $42.2 million. Long-term debt totaled $387.2 million at March 31, 2015, representing 97.7% of total borrowings at quarter-end. The Bank’s long-term fixed rate borrowing position results from management’s desire to reduce the impact that an eventual increase in interest rates could have on the Bank’s earnings.

Liquidity. The Bank has a board committee approved Liquidity Policy and Liquidity Contingency Plan, which are intended to ensure that the Bank has sufficient liquidity at all times to meet the ongoing needs of its customers in terms of credit and deposit outflows, take advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities and respond to liquidity stress conditions should they arise.

The Bank has both internal and external sources of liquidity that can be used to fund loan growth and accommodate deposit outflows. The Bank’s primary internal sources of liquidity are its overnight investments, investment securities designated as available-for-sale, maturities and monthly payments on its investment securities and loan portfolios and operations. At March 31, 2015, the Bank had approximately $414 million of unencumbered available-for-sale securities.

The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRB”) and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB of New York”), has repurchase agreements in place with a number of brokerage firms and commercial banks and has federal funds lines with several commercial banks. In addition to customer deposits, the Bank’s primary external sources of liquidity are secured borrowings from the FRB, FHLB of New York and repurchase agreement counterparties. In addition, the Bank can purchase overnight federal funds under its existing lines. However, the Bank’s FRB membership, FHLB of New York membership, repurchase agreements and federal funds lines do not represent legal commitments to extend credit to the Bank. The amount that the Bank can potentially borrow is currently dependent on, among other things, the amount of unencumbered eligible securities and loans that the Bank can use as collateral and the collateral margins required by the lenders. Based on the Bank’s unencumbered securities and loan collateral, a substantial portion of which is in place at the FRB and FHLB of New York, the Bank had borrowing capacity of approximately $1.5 billion at March 31, 2015.

Liquidity – Regulatory Rulemaking. In December 2010, the Basel Committee published “Basel III: International Framework for Liquidity Risk Measurement, Standards and Monitoring” and in January 2013 published a revised liquidity coverage ratio (collectively referred to as the “Liquidity Standard”). The Liquidity Standard includes: (1) a liquidity coverage ratio to ensure that sufficient high quality liquid resources are available in case of a liquidity crisis; (2) a net stable funding ratio to promote liquidity resiliency over longer time horizons by creating incentives for banks to fund their activities with stable sources of funding on an ongoing basis; and (3) additional liquidity monitoring metrics focused on maturity mismatch, concentration of funding and available unencumbered assets. The Liquidity Standard will be phased-in through 2019.

Table of Contents

In November 2013, the U.S. banking agencies issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPR”) that would implement a quantitative liquidity requirement consistent with the liquidity coverage ratio established by the Basel Committee. The NPR would apply to all internationally active banking organizations, systemically important non-bank financial institutions and certain other large holding companies with more than $50 billion in total assets. The transition period in the NPR is shorter than that provided by the Basel Committee. The U.S. banking agencies have not adopted or proposed rules to implement a quantitative liquidity requirement for community banks such as the Bank. As a result, it is uncertain whether such a requirement will be implemented for community banks and, if implemented, its potential impact on the Bank, if any.

Capital

Stockholders’ equity totaled $239.9 million at March 31, 2015, an increase of $6.6 million from $233.3 million at December 31, 2014. The increase resulted primarily from net income of $6.5 million, an increase in the after-tax amount of unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities of $1.6 million, and the issuance of shares under the Corporation’s stock-based compensation, dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plans of $1.0 million, partially offset by cash dividends declared of $2.7 million.

The Corporation’s capital management policy is designed to build and maintain capital levels that exceed regulatory standards. The Basel III regulatory capital ratios of the Corporation and the Bank as of March 31, 2015 are as follows:

	Corporation		Bank

Tier 1 leverage		8.28%		8.28%
Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based		13.87%		13.88%
Tier 1 risk-based		13.87%		13.88%
Total risk-based		15.13%		15.13%

These ratios exceed the requirements for a well-capitalized bank and, based on management’s belief, are adequate in the current regulatory and economic environment. The strength of the Corporation’s balance sheet from both a capital and asset quality perspective positions the Corporation for continued growth in a measured and disciplined fashion.

Implementation of Basel III. On January 1, 2015, the Corporation and the Bank implemented the Basel III regulatory capital standards (“Basel III” or “final rule”) issued by the Federal Reserve Board and the OCC. Basel III implements for U.S. banks the regulatory capital reforms of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, revises prompt corrective action categories to incorporate the revised regulatory capital requirements and implements certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The final rule strengthens areas of weakness identified in the former regulatory capital guidelines by: (1) enhancing the quantity and quality of regulatory capital in the banking system; (2) better reflecting the risk of certain on and off-balance sheet exposures in the measurement of risk-weighted assets; and (3) building additional capital capacity into the banking system to absorb losses in times of future market and economic stress.

Basel III establishes new prompt corrective action requirements for all banks and includes a new Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital (“RBC”) measure. The new RBC and leverage capital requirements under Basel III are set forth in the table that follows.

Requirement	Total RBC Measure (%)	Tier 1 RBC Measure (%)	Common Equity Tier 1 RBC Measure (%)	Leverage Measure (%)

Well Capitalized	≥ 10	≥ 8	≥ 6.5	≥ 5
Adequately Capitalized	≥ 8	≥ 6	≥ 4.5	≥ 4
Undercapitalized	< 8	< 6	< 4.5	< 4
Significantly Undercapitalized	< 6	< 4	< 3	< 3
Critically Undercapitalized	Tangible equity to total assets ≤ 2

Table of Contents

The final rule also sets forth a capital ratio phase-in schedule. The phase-in provisions for banks with $250 billion or less in total assets are set forth in the following table.

January 1,	2015		2016		2017		2018		2019

Minimum Leverage Measure (%)		4.0		4.0		4.0		4.0		4.0
Minimum Common Equity Tier 1 RBC (%)		4.5		4.5		4.5		4.5		4.5
Capital Conservation Buffer (%) ⁽¹⁾		N/A		.625		1.25		1.875		2.5
Minimum Common Equity Tier 1 RBC with Capital Conservation Buffer (%)		4.5		5.125		5.75		6.375		7.0
Minimum Tier 1 RBC (%)		6.0		6.0		6.0		6.0		6.0
Minimum Tier 1 RBC with Capital Conservation Buffer (%)		6.0		6.625		7.25		7.875		8.5
Minimum Total RBC (%)		8.0		8.0		8.0		8.0		8.0
Minimum Total RBC with Capital Conservation Buffer (%)		8.0		8.625		9.25		9.875		10.5

⁽¹⁾	The capital conservation buffer must be maintained in order for a banking organization to avoid being subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.

Under the final rule, certain banking organizations, including the Corporation and the Bank, are permitted to make a one-time election to continue the former treatment of excluding from regulatory capital most accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) components, including amounts relating to unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities and amounts attributable to defined benefit postretirement plans. The Corporation and the Bank have elected to exclude AOCI components from regulatory capital under Basel III and will thereby avoid volatility that would otherwise be caused by things such as the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities.

Basel III includes guidelines with respect to the calculation of risk-weighted assets for both on and off-balance sheet positions. For some asset and off balance sheet exposures, such as residential mortgage loans and long-term unfunded commitments, the final rule retains the capital charges contained in the former regulatory capital rule. For other exposures, however, such as high volatility commercial real estate loans, as defined, loans that are more than 90 days past due or in nonaccrual status, unfunded loan commitments with an original maturity of one year or less and repurchase agreements, Basel III either increases the capital charges or establishes new capital requirements that were not mandated in the former regulatory capital rule.

Implementation of the Basel III regulatory capital standards on January 1, 2015 did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s or the Bank’s regulatory capital position, lines of business or profitability.

New York State Tax Reform

Effective January 1, 2015, the banking corporation franchise tax under Article 32 was repealed and banks are now subject to the general business corporation franchise tax under a substantially revised Article 9A.

While the following discussion is not intended to cover all aspects of the changes in New York State tax law impacting banks, it does address what management believes to be the more significant ones. Except where noted, the changes are effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2015.

1) The franchise tax rate on business income is reduced from 7.1% to 6.5% effective January 1, 2016.

2) The Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District tax surcharge is made permanent and raised from 17% to 25.6% of the franchise tax.

3) The alternative entire net income tax and tax on subsidiary capital are eliminated. As a result, banks will now pay a franchise tax equal to the highest of their calculated business income tax, capital tax or fixed dollar minimum tax. The maximum tax on capital is increased from $1 million to $5 million, and the fixed dollar minimum tax, which was previously capped at $5,000, will range from $5,000 to $200,000.

4) The methodology for determining income apportionment, or the degree to which a bank’s income is allocated to and taxed by New York State, is changing from a three-factor formula based on receipts, payroll and deposits to apportionment based solely receipts. In addition, favorable apportionment treatment is provided for interest income from federal, state and municipal debt; asset backed securities; certain corporate bonds; and federal funds.

5) The 22.5% deduction for interest income on government obligations is eliminated.

6) The tax savings associated with a grandfathered Article 9A corporation, like FNY Service Corp., is eliminated.

7) For real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) in place as of April 1, 2014 (grandfathered REITs), like The First of Long Island REIT, Inc., the law allows a subtraction modification to entire net income equal to 160% of the dividends paid deduction allowed for federal income tax purposes.

Table of Contents

8) For banks other than those that maintain grandfathered REITs during the tax year, there are two new alternative subtraction modifications in arriving at entire net income. Both subtraction modifications, as summarized below, are mutually exclusive and involve complex calculations and analyses.

a) Percentage-of-taxable-income bad debt deduction computed as the excess of 32 percent of taxable income before the deduction over the amount of the federal bad debt deduction already taken. This deduction is only available to thrifts and community banks, as defined, who satisfy the qualified thrift lender 60 percent asset test, as defined.

b) An exclusion of one-half of the net interest income of the institution from residential mortgages and small business loans, as defined.

For 2015, management has decided to use the new alternative subtraction modification for REITs.

Management currently estimates that the changes in New York State tax law will reduce the Bank’s 2015 tax burden by an amount ranging from $600,000 to $700,000.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Bank invests in interest-earning assets, which are funded by interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, noninterest-bearing deposits and capital. The Bank’s results of operations are subject to risk resulting from interest rate fluctuations generally and having assets and liabilities that have different maturity, repricing, and prepayment/withdrawal characteristics. The Bank defines interest rate risk as the risk that the Bank's net interest income and/or economic value of equity (“EVE”) will change when interest rates change. The principal objective of the Bank’s asset liability management activities is to optimize current and future net interest income while at the same time maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk and facilitating the funding needs of the Bank.

The Bank monitors and manages interest rate risk through a variety of techniques including interest rate sensitivity modeling and traditional gap analysis. Both interest rate sensitivity modeling and gap analysis involve a variety of significant estimates and assumptions and are done at a specific point in time. Changes in the estimates and assumptions made for interest rate sensitivity modeling and gap analysis could have a significant impact on projected results and conclusions. Therefore, these techniques may not accurately reflect the actual impact of changes in the interest rate environment on the Bank’s net interest income or EVE.

Traditional gap analysis involves arranging the Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by repricing period and then computing the difference, or interest-rate sensitivity gap, between the assets and liabilities which are estimated to reprice during each time period and cumulatively through the end of each time period. Gap analysis requires estimates as to when individual categories of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities will reprice and assumes that assets and liabilities assigned to the same repricing period will reprice at the same time and in the same amount. Among other things, gap analysis does not fully take into account the fact that the repricing of some assets and liabilities is discretionary and subject to competitive and other pressures.

Through use of interest rate sensitivity modeling, the Bank first projects net interest income over a five-year time period assuming a static balance sheet and no changes in interest rates from current levels. Utilization of a static balance sheet ensures that interest rate risk embedded in the Bank’s current balance sheet is not masked by assumed balance sheet growth or contraction. Net interest income is then projected over a five-year time period utilizing: (1) a static balance sheet and various interest rate change scenarios, including both ramped and shock changes and changes in the shape of the yield curve; and (2) a most likely balance sheet growth scenario and these same interest rate change scenarios. The interest rate scenarios modeled are based on, among other things, the shape of the current yield curve and the relative level of rates and management’s expectations as to potential future yield curve shapes and rate levels.

The Bank also uses interest rate sensitivity modeling to calculate EVE in the current rate environment assuming both shock increases and decreases in interest rates. EVE is the difference between the present value of expected future cash flows from the Bank’s assets and the present value of the expected future cash flows from the Bank’s liabilities. Present values are determined using discount rates that management believes are reflective of current market conditions. EVE can capture long-term interest rate risk that would not be captured in a five-year projection of net interest income.

In utilizing interest rate sensitivity modeling to project net interest income and calculate EVE, management makes a variety of estimates and assumptions which include, among others, the following: (1) how much and when yields and costs on individual categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities will change in response to projected changes in market interest rates; (2) future cash flows, including prepayments of mortgage assets and calls of municipal securities; (3) cash flow reinvestment assumptions; (4) appropriate discount rates to be applied to loan, deposit and borrowing cash flows; and (5) decay or runoff rates for nonmaturity deposits such as checking, savings, NOW and money market accounts. The repricing of loans and borrowings and the reinvestment of loan and security cash flows are generally assumed to be impacted by the full amount of each assumed rate change, while the repricing of nonmaturity deposits is not. For nonmaturity deposits, management makes estimates of how much and when it will need to change the rates paid on the Bank’s various deposit products in response to changes in general market interest rates. These estimates are based on, among other things, product type, management’s experience with needed deposit rate adjustments in prior interest rate change cycles, and management’s assessment of competitive conditions in its marketplace.

The information provided in the following table is based on a variety of estimates and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, the more significant of which are set forth hereinafter. The base case information in the table shows (1) a calculation of the Corporation’s EVE at March 31, 2015 arrived at by discounting estimated future cash flows at rates that management believes are reflective of current market conditions and (2) an estimate of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the year ending March 31, 2016 assuming a static balance sheet, the adjustment of repricing balances to current rate levels, and the reinvestment at current rate levels of cash flows from maturing assets and liabilities in a mix of assets and liabilities that mirrors the Bank’s strategic plan. In addition, in calculating EVE, cash flows for nonmaturity deposits are based on a base case average life of 5.5 years.

Table of Contents

The rate change information in the table shows estimates of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the year ending March 31, 2016 and calculations of EVE at March 31, 2015 assuming rate changes of plus 100, 200 and 300 basis points and minus 100 basis points. The rate change scenarios were selected based on, among other things, the relative level of current interest rates and are: (1) assumed to be shock or immediate changes, (2) occur uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities, and (3) impact the repricing and reinvestment of all assets and liabilities, except nonmaturity deposits, by the full amount of the rate change. In projecting future net interest income under the indicated rate change scenarios, activity is simulated by assuming that cash flows from maturing assets and liabilities are reinvested in a mix of assets and liabilities that mirrors the Bank’s strategic plan. The changes in EVE from the base case have not been tax affected.

	Economic Value of Equity at March 31, 2015				Net Interest Income for Year Ending 3/31/16
Rate Change Scenario (dollars in thousands)	Amount		Percent Change From Base Case		Amount		Percent Change From Base Case
+ 300 basis point rate shock	$	208,188		-18.9%	$	76,043		-5.8%
+ 200 basis point rate shock		243,355		-5.2%		82,490		2.1%
+ 100 basis point rate shock		261,928		2.0%		83,620		3.5%
Base case (no rate change)		256,672		-		80,766		-
- 100 basis point rate shock		221,644		-13.6%		77,332		-4.3%

As shown in the preceding table, assuming a static balance sheet, an immediate decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points or an immediate increase in interest rates of 300 basis points could negatively impact the Bank’s net interest income for the year ending March 31, 2015. Conversely, an immediate increase in interest rates of 100 or 200 basis points could positively impact the Bank’s net interest income for the same time period. The Bank’s net interest income could be negatively impacted in a shock down 100 basis point scenario because, among other things, the rates currently being paid on many of the Bank’s deposit products are approaching zero and there is little room to reduce them further. Unlike the shock up 100 or 200 basis point scenarios, in the shock up 300 basis point scenario it is assumed that the Bank will need to make more significant changes to the rates paid on its nonmaturity deposits in order to remain competitive and thus net interest income could be negatively impacted. Changes in management’s estimates as to the rates that will need to be paid on nonmaturity deposits could have a significant impact on the net interest income amounts shown for each scenario in the table.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated into it by reference contain various forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements of goals; intentions and expectations; estimates of risks and of future costs and benefits; assessments of probable loan losses; assessments of market risk; and statements of the ability to achieve financial and other goals. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “would,” “should,” “could,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project” and other similar words and expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which may change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not assume any duty and do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. Because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those that we anticipated in our forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties: general economic conditions and trends, either nationally or locally; conditions in the securities markets; fluctuations in the trading price of our common stock; changes in interest rates; changes in deposit flows, and in the demand for deposit and loan products and other financial services; changes in real estate values; changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios; changes in competitive pressures among financial institutions or from non-financial institutions; our ability to retain key members of management; changes in legislation, regulation, and policies; and a variety of other matters which, by their nature, are subject to significant uncertainties. We provide greater detail regarding some of these factors in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, in Part I under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Our forward-looking statements may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those that we may discuss elsewhere in other documents we file with the SEC from time to time.
