State Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), a one-bank holding company headquartered in Jericho, New York, was formed in 1985. The Company operates as the parent for its wholly owned subsidiary, State Bank of Long Island and subsidiaries (the “Bank”), a New York State chartered commercial bank founded in 1966, and its unconsolidated wholly owned subsidiaries, State Bancorp Capital Trust I and II (collectively called the “Trusts”), entities formed in 2002 and 2003, respectively, to issue trust preferred securities. The Bank, emphasizing high-quality personal service, conducts a general banking business focused on the small to mid-sized businesses and municipal markets in Long Island and New York City. The income of the Company is primarily derived through the operations of the Bank and its subsidiaries, SB Portfolio Management Corp. (“SB Portfolio”) and New Hyde Park Leasing Corp. and its subsidiaries, P.W.B. Realty, L.L.C. and State Title Agency, LLC, and SB ORE Corp. As of December 29, 2008, SB Financial Services Corp. and SB Equipment Leasing Corp., formerly known as Studebaker-Worthington Leasing Corp., (“SB Equipment”), each formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, were dissolved.

On June 2, 2008, the Bank completed the previously announced sale of substantially all of the assets of its leasing subsidiary, SB Equipment. The sale proceeds have been used to fund growth in the Company’s commercial loan and commercial mortgage portfolios. Both the sale proceeds and losses related to write-downs of non-performing leases prior to sale were immaterial to the Company’s financial statements.
