We never had to ask our customers to make an appointment to visit a branch. The pandemic consumed our workforce both professionally and personally. To their credit they were not going to be deterred from moving forward on several key initiatives addressed in my letter to shareholders last March. Our team knew that broadening our message and expanding our brand was long overdue. We embarked on a year-long branding project that culminated with a November 30, 2020 launch of a revised brand including an updated logo to reflect the customer experience of banking with First National. One of the most important principles at First National will always remain the same, a “Customer First” attitude highlighted by our new tagline, Go First. Go FarSM. 2 3 First of Long Island CorporationTo Our Shareholders:To say the least, my first year as President and Chief Executive Officer of The First National Bank of Long Island was not as expected. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we quickly reallocated resources from organic growth initiatives to relief efforts in our markets. First National’s team pulled together to provide the essential services our customers need. We originated $171 million in first draw Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans for our customers and provided over $600 million of loan payment deferrals to help them manage through the unprecedented challenges. For the safety of our employees, customers and the communities we serve, we adjusted branch operating hours allowing for social distancing and completed modifications of our branch interiors with appropriate personal protective equipment. The hard work and dedication of our One of the most important principles at First National will always remain the same, a “Customer First” attitude... Alongside the distinctive branding we rolled out an interactive Digital banking proved to be a lifeline for customers during the custom designed website to better support our customers’ pandemic. We took pride in seeing our customers migrate to our electronic banking services and digital banking needs.

Our plan to identify inefficiencies in our existing footprint and expand geographically through de novo branching made significant progress in 2020. We opened our first branch in eastern Suffolk County at 140 Main Street in Riverhead. We will complement that opening with a branch in East Hampton where provide additional customer flexibility in transferring funds both internally and externally. Responding to customer and employee feedback, we added the ability to access account statements through our mobile app. Another mobile app upgrade, and a personal favorite, is the auto-capture feature when taking a photo of checks being deposited. we leased space at 100 Pantigo Place.

Our partnership, branded as First Investments, offers investment management, retirement planning, financial planning, asset management solutions and trust services. We recently leased space at 275 Broadhollow Road in Melville, New York, for a state-of-the-art branch and additional office space. As the Bank expands further into Suffolk County as well as westward into sections of New York City, this location is far more convenient for employee recruiting and retention and reinforces our new branding initiative.

The Bank’s Main Office will remain where the Bank was founded in Glen Head, New York. In the middle of preparing the announcements for the exciting changes outlined above, First National was named the best small bank in New York State by Newsweek. In a partnership with LendingTree to create the Best Banks rankings, Newsweek evaluated more than 2,500 FDIC-insured financial institutions. They assessed U.S. banks by looking at 55 separate elements of loans, and savings and checking accounts to determine a “best- in-class” option in 19 categories, including the best big and small bank in every state. This unsolicited award is a testament to our dedicated employees. Speaking of our employees, they have been extraordinary during this pandemic. Not only did they support the completion of the initiatives outlined in this letter, their dedication and caring for our customers was amazing. They worked “around the clock” to get PPP loan approvals for customers. They serviced customers by passing documents under doors and through drive-up windows. They helped customers from home, through electronic meetings and by safely meeting outside. They actively pursued additional electronic access to customer information, email and virtual meetings to meet the needs of our customers. They remain the backbone of our Bank. The movement for social justice in our country gained significant momentum this past year. Increasing diversity in employment practices is often cited as a fundamental start to leveling the wealth gap and fighting structural racism. The workforce at First National is diverse in gender, race, ethnicity and backgrounds. We recognize that we need to be part of the solution. Along with taking actions to diversify our workforce and leadership, as bankers we have an obligation to ensure our lending practices are fair and treat all people without disparity. Our community service programs must reach the communities most in need to educate on financial literacy, business and home ownership, and learning to save and invest. Equal opportunity to health, homeownership and education is an essential right for all citizens. The events of 2020 seemed to overshadow the normal focus on financial performance. Among all the disruption and change, we did not abandon our fiscal responsibility to shareholders. We posted record earnings per share in 2020 of $1.72, from $1.67 in 2019. We continued to shift our mix of loans from residential to commercial. Residential mortgage prepayments exceeded expectations due to historical low rates, resulting in a reduction in outstanding balances of approximately $300 million. By adding resources to existing lending and credit teams, we were able to show modest growth in our commercial loan portfolio excluding PPP loans. During a year where the industry experienced tremendous pressure on net interest margins, we actively managed liability costs and increased our net interest margin to 2.64% in 2020 from 2.57% in 2019. Net income in 2020 totaled $41.2 million, down slightly from $41.6 million in 2019. Return on equity was 10.47% and return on assets was 1.00%, comparable to 10.61% and .99%, respectively, in 2019. Book value per share increased to $17.11 at year end 2020 from $16.26 at year end 2019. Cash dividends per share increased to $.74 from $.70 in 2019. The Bank is well-positioned to move forward. I must recognize 43 years of service by Howard Thomas Hogan Jr., Esq. Tom retires from our Board of Directors effective with our 2021 Annual Meeting. He joined the Board of Directors of the Bank in 1978 and the Board of Directors of the Company upon its incorporation in 1984. His tenure spanned four CEOs, included growth in total assets from $66 million to over $4 billion and an increase in branches from 6 to 47. Tom’s knowledge of our local markets and his personal relationships with numerous customers added to his value as a director. We are grateful to Tom for his service and dedication and wish him the best. I stated last year that our organization is spirited and resilient. Little did I know how much those traits would be tested in 2020. Our Board of Directors transitioned to virtual meetings and continued to provide their valuable insight and oversight. Our management group, always a hard-working team, set a new bar for effort. I thank our customers, long term and new, for their loyalty, trust and understanding under very difficult circumstances. To our shareholders, increasing shareholder value remains our top priority.

After a year of work by many talented people, we launched our new brand and message on November 30, 2020. With a history of 93 years of service and growth, we embraced the need to present the modern professional character of the Bank. Our team of collaborators were tasked with building on the breadth and depth of our up-to-date “Customer First” mindset. We created the new brand elements to incorporate our strong history of service and culture. The bedrock of the Bank has always been the customer experience. Our goal was to communicate that we are forward-thinking and ever improving. The tagline “Go First. Go Far.SM” communicates the relationship of First National Bank LI with customers’ financial goals and beyond. “Go First” invites customers to choose First National as their financial partner. More importantly, the “Go Far” reinforces our commitment to customer success. Rolling out a user friendly and custom website became a priority to support our new brand. Our ads, website and social media presence now focus on the “Let’s Connect” theme. The online world is a 24/7 environment offering access to communication and transactions wherever and whenever our customers need to interact with the Bank. Again, “Let’s Connect” is a friendly invitation and acknowledgment that we are available. We continue to strive for new, innovative and extraordinary ways to provide the exemplary service our bankers are known for delivering. 6 7 First of Long Island Corporation2020 Annual ReportBest Small Bank in New York State In 2020, Newsweek partnered with LendingTree, to create the Best Banks rankings.

Never did our purpose of providing a “Customer First” experience resonate as profoundly as it has in the last year. It holds truer in this moment, more than ever before, as we continue to focus on our customer needs to help them recover from the impact of the pandemic. In early March of 2020, life around the world changed dramatically. No one could have planned for the complexity of challenges and levels of uncertainty that COVID-19 presented. As essential workers, our employees served customers throughout the pandemic. The human element of empathy and understanding the personal situations of our customers always remained. The Bank created a Pandemic Committee to quickly implement the necessary protocols to minimize the spread of the virus. Our top priority was the health and well-being of our customers, employees and communities. Protective measures were put in place including enhanced cleaning procedures, quarantines, employees working remotely, mandatory use of face masks and social distancing programs. Our employees worked with confidence and our customers banked securely knowing that First National stood behind them, with robust safety measures. 8 9 First of Long Island Corporation2020 Annual ReportInformation Security Commercial Lending (Suffolk) Risk Management Glen Head Branch #FNBLISTRONG Greenvale Branch Operations Department Commercial Underwriters #FNBLISTRONG We are grateful to all our employees who were essential workers during the pandemic. Together, they became stronger. No matter what the circumstances were, a day did not go by where the customer did not come “first.” Appointments were not required, and the convenience of our digital products allowed them to continue with their daily transactions. Our branch bankers made themselves available whether it was over the phone, virtual meeting, in a branch or at one of our drive-up windows. Our priority was to keep all our customers and essential workers safe and healthy. During the pandemic, the Bank launched a social media campaign named #FNBLISTRONG. It announced our solidarity with our customers and the communities that we serve. It is more than just a hashtag. It demonstrated how the positive response of our employees allowed us as an organization to continue to execute our strategic plan during an unprecedented operating environment. It further cemented the “We are in this together” company-wide mindset. In the fluid environment of ever- changing virus information, our front-line and back-office employees displayed incredible resilience. Through it all, they were focused, dedicated and, most importantly, STRONG. Thank you to everyone for your enormous effort.

Our bankers worked 24/7, even on Sundays and during holidays, to help businesses access vital Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans from the Small Business Administration. PPP loans provided small businesses with funds to pay employees during the slowdown in business or temporary closures related to stay-at-home orders during the pandemic. We channeled loans to the neighborhoods where our depositors lived and worked, which helped local businesses and communities survive. Our bankers took time to listen to the individual circumstances of our customers which truly speaks to why Relationship Banking is so important. Understanding our customers’ needs allowed First National to provide targeted loan payment relief through loan modifications for those businesses and individuals experiencing financial hardship. Giving back to communities has always been a part of who we are as a bank. Undaunted by the pandemic, our employees stepped up to serve others affected by COVID-19.
