MATURITY SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

Securities carried on the Bank's books are stated at cost less amortization of bond premiums.

At April 30, 1963, the Bank owned $452,150 of Federal Reserve Bank stock and $100,000 of the stock of a small business investment company. The maturity schedule of the balance of the investment portfolio at April 30, 1963 was as follows:

(1) In addition, at April 30, 1963, the Bank was servicing approximately $30,000,000 of real estate loans for other financial institutions.

(2) The Bank charges all loan losses against its reserve for possible losses on loans and credits this reserve with all recoveries applicable to such loans. Transfers from income to this reserve each year are based on a number of considerations, among which is the size of the reserve in relation to loans and discounts. (See schedule of Reserve for Possible Losses on Loans.)

The Bank owns land and the buildings containing its offices located at Copiague, Melville, Riverhead, Sag Harbor, and Southampton in Suffolk, and North Bellmore, Seaford, and Wantagh in Nassau. These properties are suitable and adequate for the Bank's present needs and would permit further expansion if it becomes necessary. Land, buildings, and equipment owned were carried on its books at April 30, 1963 at $3,697,000. The Bank leases its other offices under leases expiring at various dates through May 1984. In 1962 aggregate annual rentals on the leased properties amounted to $278,357.

ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING

The Bank has been a pioneer in the data processing field and was the first bank headquartered on Long Island to service checking accounts by computer. In May 1962, it opened its Data Center at Melville, Suffolk County, at which its IBM 1401 computer system is now servicing over 50,000 special checking accounts, as well as the Bank's employees' payroll and deposit accounts. The Center also services on punched card tabulating equipment installment loans, mortgage servicing and escrow accounts, the Bank's investment portfolio, official checks, bank money orders, and Christmas Club accounts. The Bank contemplates servicing regular and commercial checking accounts and savings accounts on its computer in the near future.

COMPETITION

The Bank encounters keen competition from other financial institutions, which have approximately 238 commercial bank offices, nineteen savings bank offices, and fifty-four savings and loan association offices in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and also from institutions which maintain no offices but solicit business in the counties. Of the 311 offices of competing financial institutions in the counties, 215 were located in Nassau and ninety-six in Suffolk as of April 30, 1963.

Effective as of July 1, 1960, the New York Banking Law was amended to permit New York City savings and commercial banks to open de novo branch offices in Nassau County, but not in Suffolk County. Under the amendment, subject to appropriate state or federal agencies' approval, any New York City savings bank may open one branch in Nassau County, and any New York City commercial bank may open any number of branches there. Between July 1, 1960 and April 30, 1963, according to the Nassau County Clearing House Association, thirteen New York City savings bank branch applications were approved by governmental authorities and the offices opened in Nassau County. Twelve New York City commercial bank de novo branch applications were approved and eleven offices have been opened; five additional applications were pending at April 30, 1963.

NASSAU AND SUFFOLK COUNTIES

The Nassau-Suffolk area constitutes the Bank's operating territory (see Map). As measured by population, effective buying income, and retail sales, Suffolk and Nassau Counties have grown substantially faster than either New York State or the United States since 1950.

The aircraft industry was for many years the dominant manufacturing factor in the two counties. In recent years this dominance has been challenged by expanding activity in the electronics, construction, engineering, chemical, precision machinery, scientific equipment, and publishing industries. Transportation, communication, commerce, and service activities have also increased sharply with a resultant expansion of employment and purchasing power.

The dynamic growth of Suffolk and Nassau Counties (with areas of 915 and 317 square miles, respectively) during the period 1950-1962 is indicated by the following selected statistics:
