D ear Shareholders,

I              n 2014, our Bank had an outstanding year in a challenging environment. Profitability was 

driven by controlled growth in both Total Loans and Total Deposits. Net Income increased by 
8% to $23 million. Earnings Per Share (EPS) increased 6.5% to $1.65 and Cash Dividends Per Share increased 
5.9% to $.72. Our dividend increase is indicative of the confidence we have in our ability to continue to grow 
the Corporation’s earnings in a measured and disciplined way.

I am pleased to report Total Assets grew $322 million or 13.4%. Within this figure, earning assets grew 
$313 million or 13.5%, driving net interest income up by $4.4 million or 7.1%. This growth, along with an 
increase in noninterest income of $356,000 or 5.1%, enhanced profits since increases in operating expenses, 
the provision for loan losses, and income tax expense were significantly less. Our bottom 
line result was a $1.7 million increase in earnings year-over-year.

Major factors driving profitability were loan growth and the maintenance of pristine 
asset quality. We continue to adhere to prudent underwriting standards. During the 
year, Average Loans Outstanding grew 23.2% from $1.3 billion to $1.6 billion. By 
the end of the fiscal year, the spot balance of our Total Loans exceeded $1.8 billion. 
The majority of our growth was relatively balanced between Commercial Real 
Estate products and Residential Mortgages. Our ability to grow loans was 
attributable to targeted solicitation efforts, pricing, key product advertising, 
broker relationships, the growth of our branch system, and an increasing 
awareness of the Bank’s brand and reputation. 

Over the last decade, our credit quality has been among the very best in 
the industry, even during the years of the Great Recession. The same  
executive management team that managed then is still managing today.  
I am happy to report asset quality remains excellent. Nonaccrual loans 
amounted to $1.7 million or .09% of Total Loans Outstanding. That’s 
great performance. We take pride in the credit quality of our loans, but we 
do not have the luxury to be complacent about what we have accomplished  
to date. When it comes to credit quality there is no resting on one’s laurels.  
I can assure you the management team remains vigilant with regard to our 
responsibility to maintain strong asset quality.

During the year, our deposits continued to grow at a steady pace. 
Year-over-year, balances grew $203 million or 11.4%. This growth 
was driven by lending, expanding our distribution system, enhancing 
our business network, tactical marketing initiatives, focused calls on 
specific prospects, deepening existing relationships, the introduction 
of new products, and our Municipal Deposit initiative.

2014 Annual Report  1

Particularly noteworthy was the growth in our Demand Deposits of $57 million or 9.5%. We believe 
growth in this strategic product category is related to our success in building additional share with our 
key target markets—small businesses; middle market companies; professionals, i.e., doctors, lawyers,  
dentists, CPAs; and targeted municipal deposit relationships. Growth in these market segments enhances  
franchise value and thereby long-term shareholder value. This is why we continue to build our distribution  
system in arguably one of the very best retail banking markets in the country. We are proud to note 
that our ratio of Demand Deposits to Total Deposits remains attractive at 33%. This ratio has not 
deteriorated with our growth. 

Loan growth, credit quality and stable core deposit growth have been major factors in the creation of 
wealth for our investors. We believe the value of your investment has considerable potential to continue 
to grow as we remain focused on executing our strategic plan. Wealth creation is evident as you look 
at the growth of the Corporation’s Book Value Per Share over a period of time and more specifically in 
2014. Last year our Book Value grew 11.6% to $16.80. We are proud of this performance, but realize we 
must continue to perform over the long term in a similar manner to sustain your confidence in our Board 
and management team. Being the financial stewards of your investment, we take this responsibility  
very seriously. We realize we can never let our guard down in any one year or, more importantly, over  
an extended period of time.

In 2014, we added three more branches in desirable markets that will help us continue to grow and  
pick up additional share with our targeted market segments. We are well aware of the risks associated 
with putting capital into bricks and mortar. I would point out that our Expense to Revenue Ratio of 
51.8% demonstrates the thought we put into our branch expansion strategy and the planning associated 
with the growth of our operating expenses. This very strong ratio has been maintained during my 
twelve-year tenure with the Bank while building 21 branches, a state-of-the-art Disaster Recovery Center 
and a new Loan Processing Center. I anticipate the Bank will build at least three more branches in 2015.

This past year, we continued to expand our technology offerings to improve both the customer 
experience and operational efficiency. We upgraded our online banking platform and in the very near 
future will be rolling out mobile banking and instant issue debit cards. We are keenly aware of the 
fact that the use of technology brings with it a variety of risks including compromising our customers’ 
sensitive personal information. To enhance our controls in this area, during 2014 we created a dedicated 
information security department that reports directly to our Chief Risk Officer.  

In my opinion, the best opportunities lie ahead. We have a talented and dedicated team that lives within 
the communities we serve. We truly know our customers and take pride in meeting their needs. We 
realize, over the long term, the only sustainable competitive advantage we have is the quality of the 
service and personalized attention we deliver to our customer base. This culture is fostered by our 
executive management team and embraced by all of our employees. It is essential that we maintain this 
cultural identity as we continue to flourish in the Long Island and New York Metropolitan markets.  
I believe our slogan tells you what we are all about. The First National Bank of Long Island is the Bank 
“Where Everyone Knows Your Name®.”

CommunityService

Volunteering is a key component of The First National Bank of Long Island’s corporate culture. In 2011, the  
Bank established a formal Community Service Committee to organize their community service efforts.  
The Bank’s financial success and its growing branch network give employees the opportunity to participate  
in local community service efforts. In 2014, the Bank supported many worthy organizations such as the  
Interfaith Nutrition Network (The INN), Habitat for Humanity, the Muscular Dystrophy Association,  
the American Cancer Society and Toys for Tots.

“ As Chairperson of The 
Community Service 
Committee, I see 
firsthand how inspiring 
our employees find their 
volunteer experiences.  
We are all lucky to work  
for a company that 
encourages these kinds 
of activities as part of its 
corporate culture. It forms 
camaraderie amongst the 
employees and gives them  
a sense of accomplishment  
and gratitude.” 

Toni Valente, 
Branch Market Manager and 
Chairperson of The 
Community Service Committee
