  ITEM 8.01.  Other Events
  
  On January 31, 2006,  State Bank of Long Island,  (the  "Bank"),  a wholly owned
  subsidiary  of  the  Company,  announced  that  the  jury  in its  recent  trial
  pertaining  to  the  previously  disclosed  claim  by HSA  Residential  Mortgage
  Services of Texas,  Inc.  ("RMST") rendered its verdict on January 30, 2006. The
  month-long trial resulted in a verdict of $44 million against the Bank. The Bank
  estimates  that the total amount of this  judgment may approach $74 million on a
  pre-tax basis; $44 million after taxes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing judgment,
  the Company estimates that its Tier I Leverage and Tier I  Capital/Risk-Weighted
  Assets  capital  ratios will remain in excess of the  requirements  for it to be
  considered a "well capitalized" institution by its primary regulators.
