The First of Long Island Corporation (Nasdaq:FLIC) earned $1.85 per share for the first nine months of 2010, an increase of $.31, or 20.1%, over $1.54 per share earned in the same period last year. Net income increased by $3,087,000, or 27.5%, from $11,241,000 for the first nine months of 2009 to $14,328,000 for the current nine month period. The percentage increase in net income outpaced the percentage increase in earnings per share primarily because of the sale of common stock described hereinafter. Returns on average assets (ROA) and equity (ROE) were 1.17% and 14.29%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2010 as compared to 1.11% and 13.88% for the same period last year.

Earnings for the third quarter of 2010 were $.55 per share versus $.68 per share for the preceding quarter. The decrease is primarily attributable to the dilutive impact of the sale of common stock in July of this year and a $1,153,000 decrease in gains on sales of securities. These items reduced quarterly earnings per share by approximately $.07 and $.08, respectively.

During the first six months of 2010, management moderated the Bank's loan growth, scaled back the Bank's efforts to attract new deposits and reduced the overall size of the Bank's balance sheet by approximately $77 million, or 5%, through the sale of securities and use of the resulting proceeds to repay short-term debt. Furthermore, in July of this year, the Corporation completed an underwritten public offering in which it sold 1,437,500 shares of common stock. The net proceeds of the offering, which amounted to approximately $32.4 million, were contributed to the capital of the Corporation's wholly-owned bank subsidiary. All of these actions were undertaken to strengthen the Bank's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio in light of management's future growth plans, the unfavorable economic climate, and current regulatory expectations as to what constitutes an appropriate level of capital. In the future, management may employ other tactics to maintain or grow the Bank's capital position which could include deviating from the Corporation's historical dividend trend. Management invested the proceeds of the common stock offering mostly in short-duration mortgage securities and municipal securities and then began to build the size of the Bank's balance sheet with a combination of loans and securities. By the end of the third quarter total assets were roughly back to their year end 2009 level and the Bank's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 9.54%. This compares favorably to a ratio of 7.06% at year-end 2009.

Despite the measures taken by management during the first half of this year to moderate the Bank's loan growth and reduce the overall size of the Bank's balance sheet, the average balances of loans and tax-exempt securities grew significantly when comparing the first nine months of 2010 to 2009, largely because of strong growth in these asset categories throughout most of 2009. The average balance of loans was up by 24.1%, or $165.9 million, and the average balance of tax-exempt securities was up by 35.5%, or $61.3 million. Growth in these asset categories, which was funded primarily by an increase in average total deposits of $256 million, or 24.5%, is the key driver of the earnings growth experienced thus far this year. Also contributing to this year's earnings growth is a $455,000 increase in gains on sales of available-for-sale securities and the fact that 2009 was burdened with an FDIC special assessment of $647,000.

The loan growth principally occurred in what management considers to be lower risk loan categories, including multifamily commercial mortgages, owner occupied commercial mortgages, and first lien residential mortgages having terms generally between ten and fifteen years. By contrast, management considers construction and land development loans and unsecured loans to individuals to be high risk and has purposely not grown these categories. With respect to deposit growth, significant contributing factors were new branch openings and expansion of existing branches, deposit rate promotions, development of new commercial banking relationships, competitively priced deposit products and what management believes to be a high level of customer service.

The positive impact on earnings of the factors previously described was partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in the provision for loan losses. The elevated provision for the first nine months of this year is primarily attributable to management's current assessment of national and local economic conditions which have been weak for an extended period of time. The provision for the first nine months of last year was reduced by the reversal of previously established impairment reserves amounting to $300,000. The Bank's allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2010 was $12.5 million, or 1.41% of total loans, compared to $10.3 million, or 1.25% of total loans, at year-end 2009. Management will continue to carefully assess the adequacy of the Bank's allowance for loan losses in light of a variety of factors including national and local economic conditions and the specific composition and characteristics of the Bank's loan portfolio. Depending on this assessment, and even if there is no significant increase in identified problem loans, management may continue to increase the Bank's allowance for loan losses relative to total loans.

The credit quality of the Bank's loan portfolio remains excellent as evidenced by, among other things, a very low level of delinquent loans. Total delinquent loans amounted to $3.1 million at September 30, 2010, comprised of loans past due 30 to 89 days of $1.2 million and nonaccrual loans of $1.9 million. The credit quality of the Bank's securities portfolio also remains excellent. All of the Bank's mortgage securities are backed by mortgages underwritten on conventional terms, and almost all of these securities are full faith and credit obligations of the U.S. government. The remainder of the Bank's securities portfolio consists principally of municipal securities rated A or better by major rating agencies.

Key strategic initiatives to improve the Bank's earnings prospects will continue to include loan growth and expansion of the Bank's branch distribution system both on Long Island and in New York City. Thus far this year, the Bank opened four full service branches on Long Island in the towns of Sea Cliff, Cold Spring Harbor, East Meadow and Bellmore. In 2011, the Bank plans to open full service branches in Point Lookout and Massapequa, Long Island.
