FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS

2007 THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED RESULTS

LAKE SUCCESS, NY – October 16, 2007 - Flushing Financial Corporation (the “Company”) (Nasdaq-GS: FFIC), the parent holding company for Flushing Savings Bank, FSB (the “Bank”), today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $5.7 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 7.8%, from the $5.3 million earned in the third quarter of 2006. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter was $0.29, an increase of $0.02, or 7.4%, from the $0.27 earned in the comparable quarter a year ago.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $15.9 million, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 4.4%, from the $16.6 million earned in the comparable 2006 period. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $0.80, a decrease of $0.09, or 10.1%, from the $0.89 earned in the comparable 2006 period.

Core earnings, which exclude the effects of SFAS No. 159, increased to $5.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the third quarter from $5.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007. The effect of changes in fair value recorded under SFAS No.159 increased GAAP earnings by $0.02 per diluted share for the third quarter, while decreasing GAAP earnings by $0.02 per diluted share in the second quarter.

John R. Buran, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We are pleased with the operating results we are reporting for the third quarter. For the first time since the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) began raising interest rates in 2004, the Company has put together two consecutive quarters of core earnings growth, as core earnings per share increased to $0.27 in the third quarter of 2007 from $0.26 in the second quarter of 2007 and $0.25 in the first quarter of 2007. Our strategic initiative to create a more “commercial-like” bank is contributing to revenue growth. We grew commercial business loans by $17.3 million during the third quarter. Expenses associated with our strategic shift have stabilized. Our real estate lending business continues to be strong and asset quality remains solid. Our iGObanking.com^TM internet bank continues to perform better than planned, bringing in deposits at favorable interest rates.

“The Bank entered into several leverage transactions during the later part of September to take advantage of the abrupt widening of credit spreads seen in the financial markets. The Bank purchased $104.1 million of investment securities and financed the purchases with borrowings. The spread, on a tax adjusted basis, between the securities purchased and the borrowings incurred is approximately 200 basis points. While this had little effect on earnings for the third quarter, we expect these transactions to provide additional net interest income in future periods.

“Loan originations were $182.0 million for the third quarter as demand for our loan products remained strong. Loans in process were $218.7 million at September 30, 2007, with $46.9 million resulting from new or expanded initiatives within our strategic plan. Non-performing loans decreased to $4.8 million at September 30, 2007 from $6.5 million at June 30, 2007 as we continue to follow our strict underwriting standards. The Bank does not originate, or hold in portfolio, sub-prime mortgages.

“In the third quarter, the FOMC lowered the overnight interest rate 50 basis points to 4.75%. The positively-sloped interest rate curve that returned in the second quarter of this year steepened in the third quarter as short-term rates declined more than long-term rates declined. The benefit we should see from the reduction in the overnight interest rate and the steepening of the yield curve has a lag as our interest-bearing liabilities continued to reprice upwards faster then our interest-earning assets on a year-over-year basis.

“In summary, we remain pleased with the direction and pace of change in the organization as we move to a more ‘commercial-like’ banking institution. We continue to expand and leverage our strengths in multicultural banking, and mixed-use and multi-family lending, as we remain focused on delivering long-term value to our shareholders.”

Earnings Summary - Three Months Ended September 30, 2007

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, net interest income was $17.3 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.7%, from $17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. An increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $397.4 million, to $2,929.8 million, was partially offset by a decrease in the net interest spread of 33 basis points to 2.15% for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 from 2.48% for the comparable period in 2006. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 14 basis points to 6.69% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 6.55% in the three months ended September 30, 2006. However, this was more than offset by an increase in the cost of funds of 47 basis points to 4.54% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 4.07% for the comparable prior year period. The net interest margin decreased 35 basis points to 2.37% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 2.72% for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Excluding prepayment penalty income, the net interest margin would have been 2.25% and 2.58% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The increase in the yield of interest-earning assets is primarily due to an increase of $432.8 million in the average balance of the higher-yielding loan portfolio to $2,598.4 million, combined with a $33.4 million decrease in the average balance of the lower-yielding securities portfolios. The yield on the mortgage loan portfolio increased one basis point to 6.86% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 6.85% for the three months ended September 30, 2006. In an effort to increase the yield on interest-earning assets, we continued to fund a portion of the growth in the higher-yielding mortgage loan portfolio through repayments received on the lower-yielding securities portfolio.

The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities is primarily attributed to the FOMC increasing overnight rates for seventeen consecutive meetings through June 2006. Although the FOMC reduced the overnight rate by 50 basis points in September 2007, the prior increases resulted in an increase in our cost of funds as new deposits were obtained at rates higher than the average rate on existing deposits. Certificates of deposit, savings accounts and money market accounts increased 51 basis points, 109 basis points and 30 basis points, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, resulting in an increase in the cost of deposits of 59 basis points to 4.30% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. The cost of borrowed funds also increased 22 basis points to 5.08% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. This was combined with increases in the average balance of certificates of deposit of $166.4 million and borrowed funds of $133.4 million. In addition, the combined average balances of lower-costing savings, money market and NOW accounts increased a total of $104.4 million.

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2007 declined $0.7 million from that reported for the second quarter of 2007, primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in income recorded from loan fees which are included in interest income, primarily prepayment penalty income. The net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased 20 basis points to 2.37% from 2.57% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased five basis points during the quarter, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 15 basis points. Excluding prepayment penalty income, the net interest margin would have declined 13 basis points in the three months ended September 30, 2007 to 2.25% from 2.38% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and the yield on interest-earning assets would have increased two basis points.

Non-interest income increased $1.4 million, or 58.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $3.8 million, as compared to $2.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. This was primarily attributed to increases of $0.2 million in dividends received on Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB-NY”) stock, $0.4 million in Other Income, and $0.8 million attributed to changes in fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value under SFAS No. 159.

Non-interest expense was $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $0.9 million, or 8.3%, from $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase from the comparable prior year period is primarily attributed to increases of: $0.4 million in employee salary and benefit expenses primarily related to additional employees for the business banking initiative and the internet banking division, $0.2 million in depreciation primarily due to two additional branch locations, the business banking initiative and the internet banking division, $0.2 million in professional services, and $0.2 million in data processing expense. The efficiency ratio was 59.5% and 57.0% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $5.7 million, an increase of $0.4 million or 7.8%, as compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Diluted earnings per share was $0.29 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $0.02, or 7.4%, from $0.27 in the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Return on average equity was 10.29% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 10.21% for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Return on average assets was 0.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 0.79% for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Earnings Summary - Nine months Ended September 30, 2007

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net interest income was $52.7 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 3.8%, from $50.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. An increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $440.5 million, to $2,817.2 million, was partially offset by a decrease in the net interest spread of 33 basis points to 2.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 2.61% for the comparable period in 2006. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 22 basis points to 6.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 6.46% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. However, this was more than offset by an increase in the cost of funds of 55 basis points to 4.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 3.85% for the comparable prior year period. The net interest margin decreased 36 basis points to 2.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 2.85% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Excluding prepayment penalty income, the net interest margin would have been 2.36% and 2.69% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The increase in the yield of interest-earning assets is primarily due to an increase of $468.0 million in the average balance of the higher-yielding loan portfolio to $2,486.3 million, combined with a $19.1 million decrease in the average balance of the lower-yielding securities portfolios. The yield on the mortgage loan portfolio increased nine basis points to 6.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 6.79% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to the average rate on new loans originated during the past twelve months being above the average rate on the loan portfolio. In an effort to increase the yield on interest-earning assets, we continued to fund a portion of the growth in the higher-yielding mortgage loan portfolio through repayments received on the lower-yielding securities portfolio.

The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities is primarily attributed to the FOMC increasing overnight rates for seventeen consecutive meetings through June 2006. Although the FOMC reduced the overnight rate by 50 basis points in September 2007, the prior increases resulted in an increase in our cost of funds as new deposits were obtained at rates higher than the average rate on existing deposits. Certificates of deposit, savings accounts and money market accounts increased 62 basis points, 79 basis points and 59 basis points, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, resulting in an increase in the cost of deposits of 66 basis points to 4.14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The cost of borrowed funds also increased 30 basis points to 4.97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This was combined with increases in the average balance of certificates of deposit of $194.2 million and borrowed funds of $149.3 million. In addition, the combined average balances of lower-costing savings, money market and NOW accounts increased a total of $100.3 million.

Non-interest income increased $3.0 million, or 41.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $10.2 million, as compared to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This was primarily attributed to increases of: $0.2 million on BOLI due to the purchase of additional BOLI, $0.7 million in dividends received on FHLB-NY stock, $1.0 million in Other Income, and $1.0 million attributed to changes in fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value under SFAS No. 159.

Non-interest expense was $37.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $6.9 million, or 22.3%, from $31.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase from the comparable prior year period is primarily attributed to increases of: $3.3 million in employee salary and benefit expenses related to additional employees for the additional branches, business banking initiative and the internet banking division, $0.9 million in occupancy and equipment costs primarily related to increased rental expense, $0.6 million in depreciation primarily due to additional locations, $0.6 million in professional services, $0.6 million in data processing expense, and $0.9 million in other operating expenses primarily related to the additional branches and employees.

Balance Sheet Summary

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company elected the early adoption of SFAS No. 157 and 159. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Upon adoption, the Company selected the fair value measurement option for various pre-existing financial assets and financial liabilities, including mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of $139.4 million, mutual funds with a fair value of $20.6 million, common stock with a fair value of $0.6 million, FHLB borrowings with a fair value of $98.8 million, and junior subordinated debt (commonly known as trust preferred securities) with a fair value of $21.3 million. On a going-forward basis, the Company currently plans to carry the financial assets and financial liabilities which will replace the above noted items at fair value, and will evaluate other purchases of investments and acquisition of new debt to determine if they should be carried at cost or fair value. The initial fair value measurement of these items resulted in a reduction of stockholders’ equity of $2.2 million as of January 1, 2007. This one-time charge is comprised of a $5.8 million cumulative-effect adjustment, net of tax, recorded as a reduction of retained earnings, partially offset by a $3.6 million reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the election of the fair value option for certain securities available for sale. The Bank’s regulatory capital was reduced $5.4 million as of January 1, 2007 as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 159. The Bank remains well-capitalized under regulatory capital requirements after the adoption of SFAS No. 159. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company elected to measure at fair value junior subordinated debt (commonly know as trust preferred securities) with a face amount of $41.2 million that was issued during June 2007, and $20.6 million that was issued in July 2007.

At September 30, 2007, total assets were $3,241.2 million, an increase of $404.6 million, or 14.3%, from $2,836.5 million at December 31, 2006. Total loans, net increased $324.7 million, or 14.0%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $2,649.4 million from $2,324.7 million at December 31, 2006. At September 30, 2007, loans in process totaled $218.7 million, compared to $274.7 million at September 30, 2006 and $291.9 million at December 31, 2006.

As the Bank continues to increase its loan portfolio, management continues to adhere to the Bank’s strict underwriting standards. As a result, the Bank has been able to minimize charge-offs of losses from impaired loans and maintain asset quality. Non-performing assets were $4.8 million at September 30, 2007 compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2006 and $3.3 million at September 30, 2006. Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.15% at September 30, 2007 compared to 0.11% at December 31, 2006 and 0.12% as of September 30, 2006. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total non-performing loans was 141.0% at September 30, 2007, compared to 226% at December 31, 2006 and 216% at September 30, 2006.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, mortgage-backed securities increased $48.8 million to $337.6 million, while other securities increased $21.6 million to $63.4 million. During September 2007, as a result of the widening spreads seen in the financial markets, the Bank purchased $78.0 million of mortgage-backed securities and $26.1 million of other securities in a series of transactions that were financed with borrowings. The spread, on a tax adjusted basis, between the securities purchased and the borrowings incurred is approximately 200 basis points. While these transactions will reduce the net interest margin, they will increase net interest income. Principal repayments on the securities portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were reinvested in higher yielding loans. Other securities primarily consist of securities issued by government agencies and mutual or bond funds that invest in government and government agency securities.

Total liabilities were $3,012.2 million at September 30, 2007, an increase of $394.1 million, or 15.1%, from December 31, 2006. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, due to depositors increased $234.6 million to $1,979.0 million, primarily as a result of an increase of $83.4 million in certificates of deposit, of which $40.6 million were new brokered deposits, while core deposits increased $151.2 million. Borrowed funds increased $148.8 million, primarily due to the funds borrowed to purchase the securities noted above. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company issued junior subordinated debt with a face amount of $20.6 million, and called junior subordinated debt with a face amount of $20.6 million that was issued in 2002. This is in addition to the second quarter issuance of junior subordinated debt with a face amount of $41.2 million. The $61.8 million of junior subordinated debt was issued with a weighted average fixed rate of interest for the first five years of 6.96%, and then adjusts quarterly at a weighted average rate equal to three month LIBOR plus 142 basis points. The junior subordinated debt that was called in July adjusted quarterly at a rate equal to three month LIBOR plus 365 basis points. In July 2007, the Company used $30.0 million of the funds obtained from issuing this debt to increase its investment in the Bank, thereby increasing the Bank’s regulatory capital to support further asset growth. In addition, mortgagors’ escrow deposits increased $12.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $10.5 million, or 4.8%, to $228.9 million at September 30, 2007 from $218.4 million at December 31, 2006. Net income of $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was partially offset by a net after tax decrease of $0.1 million on the market value of securities available for sale, $0.6 million in treasury shares purchased through the Company’s stock repurchase program, a $2.2 million charge related to the adoption of SFAS No. 159, and $7.0 million of cash dividends declared and paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The exercise of stock options increased stockholders’ equity by $1.3 million, including the income tax benefit realized by the Company upon the exercise of the options. An adjustment to the purchase price of Atlantic Liberty Financial Corporation, related to stock options, increased stockholders’ equity by $1.3 million. Goodwill was also increased $1.3 million for this adjustment. Book value per share was $10.77 at September 30, 2007, compared to $10.34 per share at December 31, 2006 and $10.19 per share at September 30, 2006.

Under its current stock repurchase program, the Company repurchased 38,000 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, at a total cost of $0.6 million, or an average of $16.52 per share. At September 30, 2007, 362,050 shares remain to be repurchased under the current stock repurchase program. Through September 30, 2007, the Company had repurchased approximately 48% of the common shares issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering at a cost of $118.6 million.

Reconciliation of GAAP and Core Earnings

Although core earnings are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that its core earnings are an important indication of performance through ongoing operations. The Company believes that core earnings are useful to management and investors in evaluating its ongoing operating performance, and in comparing its performance with other companies in the banking industry, particularly those that have not adopted SFAS No. 159. Core earnings should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP earnings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company calculated core earnings by subtracting the fair value gain recorded under SFAS No.159. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 effective January 1, 2007.
