  Item 7.01
          Regulation FD Disclosure
  On
          December 11, 2006, the Company responded to a letter dated November 14, 2006
          from PL Capital, LLC regarding the appointment of Thomas M. O'Brien as President
          and COO of the Company and its subsidiary, State Bank of Long Island. A copy
          of
          the letter from PL Capital, LLC is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit
          99.1 and a copy of the Company's response is attached to this Current Report as
          Exhibit 99.2.
  Exhibit
          99.2 may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
          Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "may," "could,"
  "should," "would," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend,"
  "plan," "project," "is confident that" and similar expressions are intended to
          identify these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements
          involve risk and uncertainty and a variety of factors could cause the Company's
          actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results
          or other expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements. The
          Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or
          strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors that could have a material adverse
          effect on the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries include, but
          are
          not limited to, changes in: market interest rates, general economic conditions,
          legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S.
          Government, the quality and composition of the loan or investment portfolios,
          demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial
          services in the company's primary trade area, litigation, tax and other
          regulatory matters, accounting principles and guidelines, and other economic,
          competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors affecting
          State
          Bancorp's operations, pricing and services.
  The
          information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1and 99.2 attached
          hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of
          Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
  "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section. The
          information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2, shall not
          be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of
          1933,
          as amended or the Exchange Act, regardless of any incorporation by reference
          language in any such filing.
