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 and 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 (“Bank”), and subsidiaries wholly-owned by the Bank, either directly or indirectly: The First of Long Island Agency, Inc.; The First of Long Island REIT, Inc.; and FNY Service Corp. The First of Long Island Agency, Inc. is a licensed insurance agency under the laws of the State of New York; The First of Long Island REIT, Inc. is a real estate investment trust; and FNY Service Corp. is an investment company. 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, 2011.

The consolidated financial information included herein as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 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, 2011 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Corporation's December 31, 2011 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, changes in the funded status of the Bank’s defined benefit pension plan and amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost included in net periodic pension cost. 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:

Investment securities are evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) no less often than quarterly. In determining OTTI, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions; and (4) whether management has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

When OTTI occurs, management considers whether it intends to sell, or, more likely than not, will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in earnings. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment recognized in earnings is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Because the unrealized losses reflected in the preceding tables are 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 September 30, 2012.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. A restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring when the restructuring 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 of 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.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank had allocated $318,000 and $855,000, respectively, of its allowance for loan losses to specific troubled debt restructurings and had no commitments to lend additional amounts to borrowers whose loans were modified in troubled debt restructurings.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Bank modified one loan in a troubled debt restructuring. The modification converted a business line of credit to a term loan for a period of 3 years with a pre-modification interest rate of 4.75% and post modification interest rate of 5.75%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Bank modified five loans in troubled debt restructurings. The modifications included one or a combination of the following: (1) interest rate changes; (2) interest only periods; (3) maturity date extensions; and (4) temporary reductions in the monthly payment. Two modifications included a new interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. These modifications were for periods of 26.5 and 27.7 years and had pre-modification interest rates of 5.99% and 6.00% and post modification interest rates of 4.00% and 4.63%. Another modification involved extending the maturity date by 24 months with interest only payments, while two other modifications involved temporary reductions in the required monthly payment.

The following table presents information about loans modified in troubled debt restructurings during the periods indicated.

Table of Contents

The troubled debt restructurings described in the preceding tables did not result in any provisions for loan losses during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2012, but such loans did result in provisions for loan losses of $347,000 and $114,000, respectively, during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011. There were no chargeoffs related to these loans at the time of restructure. In the third quarter of 2012, one loan that was restructured in the third quarter of 2011 was partially charged off and transferred to the held-for-sale category. The chargeoff on this loan was in the amount of $413,000.

There were no payment defaults during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 on loans modified in troubled debt restructurings during the twelve-month periods prior to the defaults. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

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, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends.

Commercial and industrial loans and commercial mortgage loans are risk rated utilizing a ten point rating system. The risk ratings along with their definitions are as follows:

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.

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.

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 through borrower contact, independent loan review, the analysis of the allowance for loan losses and delinquency trends. Commercial and industrial loans and commercial mortgage loans with balances in excess of $750,000 are generally reviewed no less often than 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, home equity lines and other consumer loans are risk rated utilizing a three point rating system. Loans in these categories that are on management’s watch list or have been criticized or classified by management are assigned the highest risk rating. All other loans are risk rated based on Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) scores. A FICO score is a tool used in the Bank’s loan approval process, and a minimum score of 680 is generally required for new loans. FICO scores for each borrower are updated at least annually. The risk ratings along with their definitions are as follows:

Internally Assigned Risk Rating

1		FICO score is equal to or greater than 680.

2		FICO score is 635 to 679.

3		FICO score is below 635 or the loan is on management’s watch list or has been criticized or classified by management.

5 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Corporation’s 2006 Stock Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”) permits the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees and non-employee directors for up to 600,000 shares of common stock of which 128,769 shares remain available for grant as of September 30, 2012. Equity grants to executive officers and directors under the 2006 Plan have historically consisted of a combination of nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”) and RSUs, while equity grants to other officers have consisted solely of NQSOs. Beginning with the January 2012 grant, the Corporation’s Board of Directors determined that equity compensation for all officers and directors will consist solely of RSUs.

Fair Value of Stock Option Awards. The grant date fair value of option awards was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table presents the fair value of option awards granted on January 25, 2011 as well as the assumptions utilized in determining such value.

Grant date fair value	$10.30
Expected volatility	45.83	%
Expected dividends	3.03	%
Expected term (in years)	7.16
Risk-free interest rate	1.93	%

Expected volatility was based on historical volatility for the expected term of the options. The Corporation used historical data to estimate the expected term of options granted. The risk-free interest rate was the implied yield at the time of grant on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the options.

Fair Value of Restricted Stock Units. The fair value of restricted stock units is based on the market price of the shares underlying the awards on the grant date, discounted for dividends which are not paid on restricted stock units.

Compensation Expense. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized ratably over the five-year vesting period or the period from the grant date to the participant’s eligible retirement date, whichever is shorter. Compensation expense for RSUs is recognized over the three-year performance period and subject to periodic adjustment throughout the period to reflect the estimated number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock into which the RSUs will ultimately be convertible. However, if the period between the grant date and the grantee’s eligible retirement date is less than three years, compensation expense is recognized ratably over this shorter period. In determining compensation expense for 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 awards of $609,000 and $559,000 and recognized related income tax benefits of $242,000 and $222,000 in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Stock Option Activity. The following table presents a summary of options outstanding under the Corporation’s stock-based compensation plans as of September 30, 2012, and changes during the nine-month period then ended.

Exercisable at September 30, 2012		236,206		$	21.82		3.86	$	2,122

All options outstanding at September 30, 2012 are either fully vested or expected to vest. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 was $774,000 and $635,000, respectively.

Restricted Stock Activity. On January 24, 2012, the Corporation’s Board of Directors granted 29,824 RSUs under the 2006 Plan. The Corporation’s financial performance for 2014 will determine the number of shares of common stock, if any, into which the RSUs will ultimately be converted. In the table that follows, the number of RSUs granted represents the maximum number of shares into which the RSUs can be converted. The following table presents a summary of the status of the Corporation’s nonvested shares as of September 30, 2012 and the changes in such shares during the nine-month period then ended.

Nonvested at September 30, 2012		59,847	$	24.43

Unrecognized Compensation Cost. As of September 30, 2012, there was $1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested equity awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.30 years.

Cash Received and Tax Benefits Realized. Cash received from option exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $2,183,000 and $1,153,000, respectively. The actual tax benefits realized for the tax deductions from option exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $142,000 and $24,000, respectively.

Other. No cash was used to settle stock options during the first nine months of 2012 or 2011. The Corporation uses newly issued shares to settle stock option exercises and for the conversion of RSUs.

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. For the Plan year ending September 30, 2012, the Bank has no minimum required pension contribution and a maximum tax deductible contribution of $6,024,000. The Bank expects to make a contribution within that range by December 31, 2012, but the amount of such contribution has not yet been determined. The Bank contributed $4,201,000 to the Plan for the plan year ended September 30, 2011.

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.

The fair values of the Corporation’s investment securities designated as available-for-sale at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, which include a loan held-for-sale and certain impaired loans, are set forth in the table that follows. 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 estimated holding costs, 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 typically 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 loans set forth in the preceding table had a principal balance of $1,807,000 and $1,651,000 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and valuation allowances of $645,000 and $339,000, respectively. During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2012, the Corporation recorded provisions for loan losses of $470,000 and $409,000, respectively, for impaired loans measured at fair value. During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011, the Corporation recorded provisions for loan losses of $388,000 and $249,000, respectively, for impaired loans measured at fair value.

Table of Contents

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 table sets forth the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value in the Corporation’s financial statements.

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. Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. The total loan portfolio is first divided into adjustable and fixed rate interest terms. For adjustable rate loans that are subject to immediate repricing, the recorded book value less the related allowance for loan losses is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For adjustable rate loans that are subject to repricing over time and fixed rate loans, fair value is calculated by discounting anticipated future repricing amounts or cash flows using discount rates equivalent to the rates at which the Bank would currently make loans which are similar with regard to collateral, maturity, and the type of borrower. The discounted value of the repricing amounts and cash flows is reduced by the related allowance for loan losses to arrive at an estimate of fair value. Management believes that the approach utilized by the Corporation in estimating the fair value of loans, as permissible under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10, is not necessarily representative of an exit price, or the price that would be received upon the sale of such loans.

Restricted stock. The recorded book value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock is its 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 currently offered by the Bank for deposits of similar size, type and maturity.

Table of Contents

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, including repurchase agreements with embedded derivative instruments, is based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate currently charged for borrowings of similar type and maturity.

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 - IMPACT OF NOT YET EFFECTIVE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

There are no not yet effective accounting standards that could potentially 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: The First of Long Island Agency, Inc.; FNY Service Corp.; and The First of Long Island REIT, 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, the Bank does have three commercial banking branches in Manhattan.

Overview

Net income and earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $15.3 million and $1.71, respectively, representing increases over the same period last year of 4.2% and 3.0%, respectively. Dividends per share were $.71 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, or 6% more than the $.67 per share declared in the same period last year. Returns on average assets (ROA) and average equity (ROE) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were 1.00% and 10.35%, respectively, versus 1.09% and 11.56%, respectively, for the same period last year. An increase in average unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities accounts for a significant portion of the decline in ROE.

Analysis of Nine Month Earnings. The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 versus the same period last year is primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of $1.5 million, or 3.4%, an increase in noninterest income, excluding securities gains, of $200,000, or 4.2%, and a $152,000 decrease in income tax expense. Partially offsetting the positive earnings impact of these items was a net loss of $338,000 on a deleveraging transaction executed in the second quarter of this year, an increase in noninterest expense, before debt extinguishment costs, of $652,000, or 2.4%, and a $266,000 increase in the provision for loan losses.

The increase in net interest income resulted from an increase in average interest-earning assets of $243.7 million, or 14.0%, as partially offset by a 31 basis point decline in net interest margin. Net interest margin declined from 3.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to 3.36% for the current nine-month period as loans repriced and available cash flows were deployed in a very low interest rate environment. The growth in average interest-earning assets is principally comprised of increases in average loans outstanding of $112.6 million, or 12.0%, nontaxable securities of $72.3 million, or 24.7%, and taxable securities of $66.8 million, or 13.5%.

Asset Quality. The Bank’s allowance for loan losses to gross loans (reserve coverage ratio) was 1.64% at September 30, 2012 compared to 1.68% at the beginning of the year. The $2.9 million provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is mostly attributable to loan growth and $863,000 of chargeoffs on two loans. The $2.6 million provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was mostly attributable to loan growth and a $1.3 million chargeoff on one loan.

The credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio remains excellent, with nonaccrual loans, excluding the loan held-for-sale, amounting to only $3.0 million, or .26% of total loans, at September 30, 2012. Additionally, loans delinquent 30 to 89 days amounted to only $212,000, or .02% of total loans. Troubled debt restructurings declined from $5.4 million at the beginning of the year to $4.4 million at the end of the current period primarily because one such loan was partially charged off and transferred to the held-for-sale category. Of the $4.4 million of troubled debt restructurings outstanding at September 30, 2012, $3.5 million are performing in accordance with their modified terms and $.8 million are delinquent and included in the aforementioned amounts for delinquent and nonaccrual loans. 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, 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 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.

Capital. The Corporation’s Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.26%, 19.14% and 20.39%, respectively, at September 30, 2012. 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.

Balance Sheet. In the second quarter of this year, the Bank executed a deleveraging transaction and also refinanced a portion of its overnight borrowings with long-term debt. These transactions were undertaken to bolster the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio and potentially reduce the negative impact that an eventual increase in interest rates could have on the Bank’s earnings.

The deleveraging transaction involved using the proceeds from the sale of investment securities with a market value of $97.1 million to extinguish long-term debt with a redemption value of $68.8 million. The excess proceeds on this transaction were initially used to repay short-term borrowings and, to the extent possible, will eventually be used to fund loan growth. The net loss of $338,000 on the deleveraging transaction resulted from the combination of $3.8 million in debt extinguishment costs and $3.5 million in securities gains. The refinancing strategy involved the repayment of $50 million of overnight borrowings with approximately equal amounts of six and seven year term borrowings.

Table of Contents

On an ongoing basis, the deleveraging transaction should positively impact net interest income in that the yield on the securities sold was 2.80%, the interest cost on the extinguished debt was 3.24%, and the yield to be earned on the reinvestment of the excess proceeds should not differ significantly from that of the securities sold. The refinancing transaction negatively impacts net interest income in that the cost of the overnight borrowings was approximately 35 basis points and the cost of the long-term debt is approximately 170 basis points. When taken together, the deleveraging and refinancing transactions should not significantly impact the Bank’s future earnings. The deleveraging transaction positively impacted the Corporation’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio which, despite third quarter balance sheet growth, increased from 8.85% at the close of the second quarter to 9.26% at the close of the current quarter.

Key Strategic Initiatives. Key strategic initiatives with respect to the Bank’s earnings prospects 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. In 2011, the Bank opened two full service branches on Long Island, one in Point Lookout and one in Massapequa, and is planning to open another full service branch in Lindenhurst, Long Island in the upcoming quarter.

Challenges We Face. Interest rates are currently very low and are expected to be low for an extended period of time. In addition, there is significant price competition for loans in the Bank’s marketplace. The persistence of these factors could result in a further decline in net interest margin. If that were to occur, and management is unable to offset the impact by increasing the volume of interest-earning assets, expense savings or other measures, the Bank’s profitability could decline.

Commercial and residential real estate values have been negatively impacted by persistently high levels of unemployment and underemployment, a decline in household disposable income, foreclosures and commercial vacancies. These factors present threats to the maintenance of loan quality.

The banking industry is currently faced with an ever-increasing number of new and complex regulatory requirements which are putting downward pressure on revenues and upward pressure on required capital levels and the cost of doing business.

Interest income, net interest income, average rates, net interest spread and net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis includes the additional amount of interest income that would have been earned if the Corporation's investment in tax-exempt loans and investment securities had been made in loans and investment securities subject to Federal income taxes yielding the same after-tax income. The tax-equivalent amount of $1.00 of nontaxable income was $1.52 in each period presented, based on a Federal income tax rate of 34%.

(2)	For the purpose of these computations, nonaccruing loans are included in the daily average loan amounts outstanding.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis increased by $2.0 million, or 4.1%, from $48.2 million for the first nine months of 2011 to $50.1 million for the current nine month period. The increase resulted from growth in average interest-earning assets of $243.7 million, or 14.0%, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the tax benefit derived from the Bank’s nontaxable securities portfolio based on growth in the portfolio. The positive impact on tax-equivalent net interest income of these items was partially offset by a 31 basis point decline in net interest margin from 3.67% for the first nine months of 2011 to 3.36% for the current nine-month period. The decline in net interest margin occurred as loans repriced and available cash flows were deployed in a very low interest rate environment.

The growth in average interest-earning assets is principally comprised of increases in average loans outstanding of $112.6 million, or 12.0%, nontaxable securities of $72.3 million, or 24.7%, and taxable securities of $66.8 million, or 13.5%. Although most of the loan growth occurred in residential and commercial mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans grew as well. Management believes that its continued success in growing loans is attributable to a variety of factors including, among others, targeted solicitation efforts, increased focus on multifamily lending, new and expanded programs for first-lien home equity loans and jumbo residential mortgages and the Bank’s positive reputation in its marketplace. Home equity loans are included in residential mortgages on the Bank’s balance sheet. While the average balances of the Bank’s nontaxable and taxable securities portfolios grew significantly when comparing the first nine months of this year to the same period last year, the size of the total securities portfolios actually declined during the first nine months of 2012. The decline occurred because of the aforementioned deleveraging transaction and the deployment of available funds, when possible, into loans rather than securities. Management’s continued efforts to make loans a larger portion of total assets and the ongoing management of deposit and borrowing costs have helped to mitigate the negative impact of the low interest rate environment and contributed to maintaining a relatively stable net interest margin throughout the current nine month period. In the first, second and third quarters of this year, net interest margin was 3.37%, 3.36% and 3.35%, respectively.

The most significant sources of funding for the growth in the average balances of loans and securities were growth in the average balances of savings, NOW and money market deposits of $113.1 million, or 15.8%, noninterest-bearing checking deposits of $45.3 million, or 11.0%, and borrowings of $49.6 million, or 22.1%. The Bank’s ability to continue to grow deposits is believed to be attributable to, among other things, targeted solicitation efforts, expansion of the Bank’s branch distribution system, new and expanded lending relationships, the Bank’s positive reputation in its marketplace, volatility in the equity markets and the acquisition of some local competitors by larger financial institutions.

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. Excluding gains on sales of securities, noninterest income increased $200,000, or 4.2%, when comparing the first nine months of 2012 to the same period last year. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in assignment fees associated with refinanced commercial mortgages, an increase in commissions earned on the sale of mutual funds and annuities and a decrease in losses on loans held-for-sale. Gains on sales of securities increased by $3.5 million when comparing the first nine months of 2012 to the same period last year as a result of the deleveraging transaction.

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, before debt extinguishment costs, increased $652,000, or 2.4%, largely because of an increase in salaries of $287,000, or 2.4%, costs incurred to promote home equity loans, and increases in legal and problem loan expenses. Salaries increased because of normal annual salary adjustments and expansion of the Bank’s branch distribution system. Debt extinguishment costs resulting from the aforementioned deleveraging transaction amounted to $3.8 million in the current nine-month period.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense as a percentage of book income (“effective tax rate”) was 19.7% for the first nine months of 2012 versus 21.0% for the comparable period in 2011. The effective tax rate decreased largely because interest income on tax-exempt securities became a larger percentage of income before income taxes.

Results of Operations – Third Quarter Comparison

For the third quarter of 2012, net income and earnings per share were $4.8 million and $.53, respectively, representing decreases versus the same quarter last year of 9.4% and 11.7%, respectively.

The decrease in net income for the third quarter of 2012 versus the same quarter last year is primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income of $181,000, or 1.2%, an increase in the provision for loan losses of $403,000, and an increase in noninterest expense of $438,000, or 4.8%. The negative earnings impact of these items was partially offset by a related decrease in income tax expense of $439,000 and an increase in noninterest income of $84,000, or 5.4%.

The decline in net interest income occurred because the negative impact of a 24 basis point decline in net interest margin for the quarter more than offset the positive impact of quarterly growth in average interest-earnings assets of 6.6%. The provision for loan losses increased for the current quarter primarily because the quarter includes a larger amount of loan growth and a $413,000 chargeoff on one loan transferred to the held-for-sale category. The increase in noninterest expense occurred for the same reasons discussed with respect to the nine-month periods and because of increases in marketing expense, data processing expense and recruiting fees. One cause of the increase in data processing expense was a one-time credit received from the Bank’s data processing provider in the third quarter of last year. The increase in noninterest income occurred for the same reasons discussed with respect to the nine-month periods.

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 Losses Committee, which is chaired by the Senior Lending 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 function. In addition, and in consultation with the Bank’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Risk Officer, the Allowance for Loan Losses Committee is responsible for implementing and maintaining policies and procedures surrounding the calculation of the required allowance. 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 OCC, the Bank’s primary federal banking regulator, 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 measure impairment losses based on either the fair value of collateral or the discounted value of expected future cash flows. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled principal and interest payments when due and according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls are not generally considered to be impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and financial condition, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. In estimating the fair value of real estate collateral, management utilizes appraisals and also makes qualitative judgments based on, among other things, its knowledge of the local real estate market and analyses of current economic conditions and trends. 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. Statistical information regarding the Bank’s historical loss experience over a period of time is the starting point in making such estimates. However, future losses could vary significantly from those experienced in the past, and accordingly 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 quality of the loan review function; (8) environmental risks; and (9) loan risk ratings. Because of the nature of the 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 the 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 nonaccruing loans, foreclosed real estate, 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. The following table presents information about the Corporation’s risk elements.

(2)	Excludes nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings

Potential Problem Loans. At September 30, 2012, impaired loans totaled $9.2 million and were comprised of all nonperforming loans and $6.2 million of loans that were still performing according to the contractual terms of their original or modified loan agreements. In addition to impaired loans, there were $5.4 million of loans classified substandard that have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize their liquidation. Management believes that the Corporation could sustain some loss on these loans if the identified deficiencies are not corrected.

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 promptly charged off against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses.

Table of Contents

The allowance for loan losses increased $2.0 million during the first nine months of 2012, amounting to $18.6 million, or 1.64% of total loans, at September 30, 2012 compared to $16.6 million, or 1.68% of total loans, at December 31, 2011. During the first nine months of 2012, the Bank had loan chargeoffs and recoveries of $946,000 and $31,000, respectively, and recorded a $2.9 million provision for loan losses. The $2.9 million provision for loan losses for the first nine months of this year is mostly attributable to loan growth and $863,000 of chargeoffs on two loans. The $2.6 million provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2011 was mostly attributable to loan growth and a $1.3 million chargeoff on one loan.

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 about the Bank’s allowance for loan losses, loss experience, 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 September 30, 2012. Most of these loans were made to borrowers domiciled on Long Island and in the boroughs of New York City. In the last few years, general economic conditions have been unfavorable as characterized by high levels of unemployment, declines in commercial and residential real estate values, and increases in 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 and pay cash dividends. During the first nine months of 2012, the Corporation’s cash and cash equivalent position increased by $10.7 million from $29.5 million at December 31, 2011 to $40.2 million at September 30, 2012. The increase occurred primarily because the cash provided by reducing the size of the securities portfolio, deposit growth and operations exceeded the cash used to grow the loan portfolio, reduce short and long-term borrowings and pay cash dividends. The size of the securities portfolio decreased because of the deleveraging transaction and because, when possible, available funds were deployed into loans rather than securities. Short-term borrowings declined largely because of the deleveraging transaction and the refinancing of overnight borrowings with long-term debt.

Liquidity. The Bank has a Board approved Liquidity Policy and Liquidity Contingency Plan, which are intended to insure 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 September 30, 2012, the Bank had approximately $504 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”), 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 and repurchase agreement counterparties. In addition, the Bank can purchase overnight federal funds under its existing lines. However, the Bank’s FRB membership, FHLB 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 securities and loan collateral in place at the FRB and FHLB at September 30, 2012, the Bank had borrowing capacity of approximately $750 million.

Capital

The Corporation’s capital management policy is designed to build and maintain capital levels that exceed regulatory standards. Under current regulatory capital standards, banks are classified as well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized. Under such standards, a well-capitalized bank is one that has a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 6%, and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5%. The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios of 9.23%, 19.06% and 20.32%, respectively, at September 30, 2012 exceed the requirements for a well-capitalized bank and, based on management’s belief, are adequate in the current regulatory and economic environment. The Corporation (on a consolidated basis) is subject to minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements, which the Corporation exceeds at September 30, 2012.

Table of Contents

Stockholders’ equity totaled $205.3 million at September 30, 2012, an increase of $15.9 million from $189.3 million at December 31, 2011. The increase resulted primarily from the combined impact of net income of $15.3 million; the issuance of shares under the Corporation’s stock-based compensation plan and dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan amounting to $3.7 million; an increase in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities, net of income tax, of $2.5 million; and the declaration of cash dividends of $6.3 million.

Impact of Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

For a discussion regarding the impact of not yet effective accounting standards, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Recent Event

Recent Capital Rulemakings. In June 2012, the federal bank regulatory agencies jointly issued three proposed rules and one final rule affecting regulatory capital requirements. The proposed rules will be referred to hereinafter as the Basel III Proposal, the Standardized Approach Proposal, and the Advanced Approaches Proposal, and the final rule will be referred to as the Market Risk Rule.

The Basel III Proposal applies to all banks, incorporates certain revisions made by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“BCBS”) to international regulatory capital standards and is intended to improve the overall quality and quantity of capital maintained by banking organizations. Among other things, the Basel III proposal revises the definition of regulatory capital components and, unlike current regulatory capital standards, includes in these components unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities; adds a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio with a minimum of 4.5%; increases the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio requirement from 4% to 6%; incorporates the revised regulatory capital requirements into the Prompt Corrective Action (“PCA”) framework and increases from 6% to 8% the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio necessary to be considered well capitalized under the PCA framework; and implements a new capital conservation buffer of 2.5% that would limit the payment of capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers and key risk takers if the banking organization does not hold certain amounts of common equity Tier 1 capital in addition to that needed to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. There is a transition period for certain aspects of the Basel III Proposal, including the phase-out period for certain non-qualifying capital instruments, the new minimum capital ratio requirements, the capital conservation buffer, and the regulatory capital adjustments and deductions. The Basel III Proposal is scheduled to become final in the fourth quarter of this year and would be phased in between 2013 and 2019.

The Standardized Approach Proposal applies to all banks, incorporates certain revisions made by the BCBS to international regulatory capital standards, implements certain aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act, enhances the risk sensitivity of the risk-weighted assets calculation and addresses weaknesses in the risk-weighted assets calculation identified in recent years. Among other things, the Standardized Approach Proposal revises risk weights for residential mortgages based on loan-to-value ratios and certain product and underwriting features; increases capital requirements for past-due loans, high volatility commercial real estate exposures, and certain short-term loan commitments; and removes references in the regulatory capital rules to credit ratings consistent with Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Standardized Approach Proposal is scheduled to become final in the fourth quarter of this year and would become effective January 1, 2015.

The Market Risk Rule and Advanced Approaches Proposal do not apply to the Corporation because the Market Risk Rule only applies to banks with $1 billion or more in aggregate trading assets and liabilities or with aggregate trading assets and liabilities equal to 10 percent or more of their quarter-end total assets, and the Advanced Approaches Proposal only applies to banks with $250 billion or more in consolidated total assets.

Management is currently evaluating the impact that the changes set forth in the Basel III and Standardized Approach Proposals could have on the Corporation’s regulatory capital position, lines of business and profitability.

Recent Storm Related Events. Hurricane Sandy, which occurred in late October, resulted in considerable damage throughout our market area and adversely affected the collateral properties securing some of our loans and may have affected the ability of some of our borrowers to repay their obligations to the Bank according to contractual terms. Additionally, power outages caused by the storm temporarily interrupted our ability to open some of our branches. As a result, delinquent loans, nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings and loan losses may escalate and we may incur business interruption losses. The Bank is generally named as loss payee on hazard and flood insurance policies covering collateral properties and carries both mortgage impairment and business interruption insurance. These polices should help to mitigate any losses that the Bank may otherwise sustain. However, because the storm is a very recent occurrence, management does not yet have sufficient factual information to quantify the magnitude of any potential negative impact that the storm may have on the Bank’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

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 earnings and/or net portfolio value (present value of expected future cash flows from assets less the present value of expected future cash flows from liabilities) will change when interest rates change. The principal objective of the Bank’s asset/liability management activities is to maximize net interest income while at the same time maintain acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk and facilitate the funding needs of the Bank.

The Bank monitors and controls interest rate risk through a variety of techniques including the use of interest rate sensitivity models and traditional gap analysis. Through use of the models, the Bank projects future net interest income and then estimates the effect on projected net interest income of various changes in interest rates and balance sheet growth rates. The Bank also uses the models to calculate the change in net portfolio value over a range of interest rate change scenarios.

Traditional gap analysis involves arranging the Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by repricing periods 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.

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. Interest rate sensitivity modeling requires, among other things, estimates of: (1) how much and when yields and costs on individual categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities will change because of projected changes in market interest rates; (2) future cash flows; (3) discount rates; and (4) decay or runoff rates for nonmaturity deposits such as checking, savings, NOW and money market accounts.

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. Like sensitivity modeling, 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.

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 net portfolio value.

The information provided in the following table is based on a variety of estimates and assumptions, the more significant of which are set forth hereinafter. The base case information in the table shows (1) an estimate of the Corporation’s net portfolio value at September 30, 2012 arrived at by discounting estimated future cash flows at current market rates and (2) an estimate of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2013 assuming a static balance sheet and that maturing assets or liabilities are replaced with new balances of the same type, in the same amount, and at current rate levels and repricing balances are adjusted to current rate levels. For purposes of the base case, nonmaturity deposits are included in the calculation of net portfolio value at their carrying amount. The rate change information in the table shows estimates of net portfolio value at September 30, 2012 and net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2013 assuming rate changes of plus 100 and 200 basis points and minus 100 and 200 basis points. The changes in net portfolio value from the base case have not been tax affected. In addition, cash flows for nonmaturity deposits are based on a decay or runoff rate of eight years. In addition, rate changes are (1) assumed to be shock or immediate changes, (2) occur uniformly across the yield curve, and (3) impact the repricing of all assets and liabilities, whether they reprice on a contractual or discretionary basis, by the full amount of the rate change. In projecting future net interest income under the indicated rate change scenarios, activity is simulated by replacing maturing balances with new balances of the same type, in the same amount, but at the assumed rate level and adjusting repricing balances to the assumed rate level.

						Net Interest Income
						Twelve-Month Period
	Net Portfolio Value at					Ending
	September 30, 2012					September 30, 2013
			Percent					Percent
			Change					Change
			From					From
Rate Change Scenario	Amount		Base Case			Amount		Base Case
	(dollars in thousands)

+ 200 basis point rate shock	$	202,005		(7.6	)%	$	53,166		(19.4	)%
+ 100 basis point rate shock		209,451		(4.2	)		59,546		(9.7	)
Base case (no rate change)		218,684		-			65,925		-
- 100 basis point rate shock		230,647		5.5			66,898		1.5
- 200 basis point rate shock		246,714		12.8			64,750		(1.8	)

As shown in the preceding table, an immediate increase in interest rates of 100 or 200 basis points would have a negative effect on net interest income over a one-year time period. This is principally because the Bank’s interest-bearing deposit accounts are assumed to reprice faster than its loans and investment securities. However, if the Bank does not increase the rates paid on its deposit accounts as quickly or in the same amount as increases in market interest rates, the magnitude of the negative impact will decline and the impact could even become positive. If the Bank does not increase its deposit rates at all, the impact should be positive. Over a longer period of time, and assuming that interest rates remain stable after the initial rate increase and the Bank purchases securities and originates loans at yields higher than those maturing and reprices loans at higher yields, the impact of an increase in interest rates should be positive. This occurs primarily because with the passage of time more loans and investment securities will reprice at the higher rates and there will be no offsetting increase in interest expense for those loans and investment securities funded by noninterest-bearing checking deposits and capital. Generally, the reverse should be true of an immediate decrease in interest rates of 100 or 200 basis points. However, the potential positive impact of a decline in interest rates of 100 basis points is constrained by the fact that the annual percentage yields on most of the Bank’s deposit products are below 1%. Additionally, a decline in interest rates of 200 basis points should negatively impact net interest income, as the yields on securities and loans should decline more than the yields on deposits.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report on Form 10-Q contains 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 securities 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 “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in Part I of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and Part II of this Form 10-Q. 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.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation is party to various legal actions which are believed to be incidental to the operation of its business. Although the ultimate outcome and amount of liability, if any, with respect to these legal actions cannot presently be ascertained with certainty, in the opinion of management, based upon information currently available to us, any resulting liability is believed to be immaterial to the Corporation's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as such factors could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K other than those described below. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Form 10-Q are not the only risks that the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial, could also have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.
