      Insofar

      permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
      pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
      advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
      public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
      unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
      liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant for expenses incurred
      or
      paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
      successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
      director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
      registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
      has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
      jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
      policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
      adjudication of such issue.</font></div>

This
              Form S-8 is registering 212,687 shares of common stock of Flushing
              Financial Corporation representing the number of shares to be issued
              upon
              the exercise of options outstanding under the Atlantic Liberty Financial
              Corp. 2003 Incentive Stock Benefit Plan, after giving effect to the
              exchange ratio used in the merger of Flushing Financial with Atlantic
              Liberty Financial Corp. of 1.43 of a share of Flushing Financial common
              stock for each share of Atlantic Liberty common stock outstanding at
              the
              effective time of the merger.
(2)
Estimated
              solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee in accordance
              with Rule 457 of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), based on
              the average of the daily high and low sales prices of common stock
              of the
              Flushing Financial on the Nasdaq National Market at the close of trading
              as of August 14, 2006.
EXPLANATORY
      NOTE
On
      June
      30, 2006, Atlantic Liberty Financial Corp. ("Atlantic Liberty") merged with and
      into Flushing Financial Corporation (the "Registrant"), with the Registrant as
      the surviving corporation. As a result of the merger, each outstanding share
      of
      Atlantic Liberty common stock was converted into the right to receive 1.43
      shares of the Registrant's common stock, or a cash payment of $24.00, or a
      combination of the Registrant's common stock and cash.
This
      registration statement covers 212,687 shares of common stock of the Registrant,
      available for issuance upon exercise of outstanding options granted under the
      Atlantic Liberty Financial Corp. 2003 Incentive Stock Benefit Plan, which the
      Registrant assumed pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December
      20, 2005, by and between the Registrant and Atlantic Liberty.
Each
      outstanding stock option issued pursuant to the Atlantic Liberty Financial
      Corp.
      2003 Incentive Stock Benefit Plan prior to the effective time of the merger
      is
      no longer exercisable for shares of Atlantic Liberty common stock, but instead,
      constitutes an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were
      applicable under such option immediately prior to the consummation of the
      merger, that number of shares of the Registrant's common stock equal to the
      product of the number of shares of Atlantic Liberty and the exchange ratio
      of
      1.43. The exercise price per share of the Registrant's common stock under each
      new option will be equal to the quotient of (i) the per share exercise price
      of
      the Atlantic Liberty option being converted and (ii) the exchange ratio of
      1.43,
      rounded up to the next whole cent
.

Indemnification
      of Directors and Officers.
Section
      145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
inter
      alia
,
      empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party
      or
      is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
      suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal administrative or investigative
      (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the
      fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
      corporation, or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
      officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
      trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
      judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
      by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good
      faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
      best
      interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
      proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Similar
      indemnity is authorized for such person against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or
      settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
      the
      right of the corporation if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
      believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
      and
      provided further that (unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise
      provides) he shall not have been adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such
      indemnification (unless ordered by a court) may be made by the corporation
      only
      as authorized in each specific case by the corporation upon a determination
      that
      indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent
      is
      proper because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct, which
      indemnification shall be made in the case of a director or officer at the time
      of the determination by the shareholders, a majority vote of disinterested
      directors, a committee of disinterested directors or by independent legal
      counsel in a written opinion, if there are no such directors or if such
      directors so direct.
Section
      145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on
      behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
      the
      corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
      director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise,
      against any liability asserted against him, and incurred by him in any such
      capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation
      would otherwise have the power to indemnify him against such liability under
      Section 145.
Article
      TENTH of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation sets forth circumstances
      under which directors, officers, employees and agents of the Registrant may
      be
      insured or indemnified against liability which they incur in their capacities
      as
      such:
TENTH.
(A)
No
      director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or
      its
      stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
      except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
      Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith
      or
      which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
      Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction
      from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the Delaware
      General Corporation Law is amended after the date of this Certificate of
      Incorporation to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting
      the
      personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the
      Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted
      by
      the Delaware General Corporation law, as so amended.
(B)
The
      Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of
      the
      State of Delaware as from time to time in effect any person who was or is a
      party or is threatened to be made a party to, or otherwise requires
      representation by counsel in connection with, any threatened, pending or
      completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
      or
      investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation (a
      "Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or
      officer of the Corporation, or, while serving as a director or officer of the
      Corporation, is or was serving, in any capacity, at the request of the
      Corporation, any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
      association or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee
      benefit plan, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted
      in such capacity, against judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in
      settlement, and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses, expenses and
      cost of investigations, and expenses of enforcement of such person's rights
      under this Article TENTH) incurred by such person in connection with such
      Proceeding; provided, however, that no such indemnification shall be required
      for amounts paid in any settlement or other nonadjudicated disposition of any
      Proceeding unless the Board of Directors of the Corporation has given its prior
      consent to such settlement or disposition.
(C)
The
      right
      to indemnification conferred by this Article TENTH shall also include the right
      of such persons to be paid in advance by the Corporation for their expenses
      to

      Delaware as from time to time in effect any person who was or is party or is
      threatened to be made a party to, or otherwise requires representation by

      Corporation, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
      otherwise.
Notwithstanding

      not indemnify any person in connection with any Proceeding initiated by such
      person against any other person or entity other than the Corporation or any
      Subsidiary unless such Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors
      of
      the Corporation.

Undertakings.
(a)
Rule
      415 offering
.
      The
      undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes;
(1)
To
      file,
      during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
      amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To
      include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
      Act;
(ii)
To
      reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
      of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
      thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
      in the information set forth in the registration statement; and
(iii)
To
      include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
      previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
      such information in the registration statement.
Provided,
      however
,
      that
      paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement
      is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective
      amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished
      to
      the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
      Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration
      statement.
(2)
That,
      for
      the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act, each such
      post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
      relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
      at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
      thereof.
(3)
To
      remove
      from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
      being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
      offering.
(b)
Filings
      incorporating subsequent Exchange Act documents by reference
.
      The
      undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
      any
      liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual
      report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
      applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
      Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the
      registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
      relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities
      at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
      thereof.
(c)
Incorporated
      annual and quarterly reports
.
      The
      undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered
      with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given,
      the
      latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference
      in
      the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule
      14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where
      interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of
      Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to
      be
      delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest
      quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the
      prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
(d)
Filing
      of registration on Form S-8
.
      Insofar
      as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
      permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
      pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
      advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
      public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
      unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
      liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant for expenses incurred
      or
      paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
      successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
      director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
      registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
      has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
      jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
      policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
      adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
      to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it
      has
      reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing
      on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on
      its
      behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Village of Lake
      Success, State of New York, on August 15, 2006.
