Item 5.        Other Events

        On August 18, 1999,  Staten Island  Bancorp,  Inc.  ("SIB"),  the parent
holding company for Staten Island Savings Bank (the "Bank"),  announced that SIB
and the Bank had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization,  dated as
of August 18, 1999 (the  "Agreement"),  with First State Bancorp ("FSB") and its
wholly owned bank subsidiary,  First State Bank ("First State"). Pursuant to the
terms of the Agreement, FSB will be merged with an interim subsidiary created by
SIB (the  "Merger") and  immediately  thereafter it will be merged with and into
SIB with SIB as the  surviving  corporation.  In  addition,  First State will be
merged  with and into the Bank with the Bank as the  surviving  bank (the  "Bank
Merger").  After the Bank  Merger,  First  State will be  operated as a separate
division of the Bank. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, as a result of the
Merger,  each share of common stock of FSB will be  converted  into the right to
receive $174. 93 or $84.0 million in the aggregate.  Consummation  of the Merger
is subject to a number of conditions,  including,  the approval of the Agreement
by  stockholders of FSB, the receipt of requisite  regulatory  approvals and the
satisfaction of certain other conditions.

        The press release issued by SIB with respect to the  announcement of the
transaction  described  herein  is  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  99.1  and  is
incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.  Also attached as Exhibit 99.2
and  incorporated  herein  by  reference  is a  presentation  given  by  SIB  to
investment analysts on August 19, 1999.

        The press release and the presentation to analysts  incorporated  herein
by reference  contain  forward-looking  statements with respect to the financial
condition,  results of operations and business of the surviving corporation upon
consummation of the Merger,  including statements relating to: (a) the estimated
cost savings that will be realized from the Merger;  (b) the estimated impact on
results of operations of the Merger and (c) the transaction costs expected to be
incurred in connection with the Merger. These forward-looking statements involve
certain risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contemplated by such  forward-looking  statements include,
among others, the following  possibilities:  (1) estimated cost savings from the
Merger cannot be fully  realized  within the expected  time frame;  (2) revenues
following the Merger are lower than  expected;  (3)  competitive  pressure among
depository  institutions  increases  significantly;  (4)  costs or  difficulties
related to the  integration  of the  businesses  of SIB and FSB are greater than
expected;  (5) changes in the interest rate environment reduce interest margins;
(6) general economic  conditions,  either  nationally or in the markets in which
the  surviving  corporation  will be doing  business,  are less  favorable  than
expected;  or (7)  legislation or changes in regulatory  requirements  adversely
affect the businesses in which the surviving entity would be engaged.

    ANNOUNCEMENT: STATEN ISLAND BANCORP, INC. TO ACQUIRE FIRST STATE BANCORP

         Staten Island, New York--August 18, 1999 - Staten Island Bancorp,  Inc.
(NYSE:  "SIB"),  the holding  company for Staten Island  Savings Bank, and First
State Bancorp (OTC: "FBHW"), the holding company for First State Bank, announced
today the execution of a definitive  agreement under the terms of which SIB will
acquire First State Bancorp  (FSB) and First State Bank , with  headquarters  in
Monmouth County, New Jersey. At June 30, 1999, First State Bank had consolidated
total assets of $358.6  million,  deposits of $315.6  million and  shareholders'
equity of $40.3 million.

         Under the terms of the agreement,  SIB will acquire FSB for $84 million
in cash. The closing of the transaction is contingent  upon, among other things,
appropriate regulatory approvals, as well as approval of FSB's shareholders.

         Harry P. Doherty, Chairman and CEO of Staten Island Bancorp, Inc. said,
"the  acquisition  of First State Bank  represents  Staten Island Savings Bank's
first expansion of our branch banking operation into the State of New Jersey. It
also  expands our  presence in New Jersey  which began with our  purchase of Ivy
Mortgage Corp. in November 1998, which has offices throughout the state."

         He  continued,  "we  believe  the  Monmouth  and Ocean  County  markets
represent  significant  growth  potential  for us. We look  forward to providing
these  communities  with the same high level of personal  service they currently
enjoy from FSB,  plus the much broader  range of consumer and business  services
available at Staten Island Savings Bank. We anticipate the introduction to First
State  customers of ATMs,  debit cards,  on-line  banking and a broader range of
residential  mortgage and commercial and small business  loans, as well as trust
services shortly after the transaction is consummated".

         After the  acquisition,  First State will continue to operate under the
name "First State,  a division of Staten Island  Savings  Bank." "We  understand
that one of the key factors in operating a successful  community  bank franchise
is retaining local staff and local decision making," Doherty said.

         Ira Hoberman, First State's President and CEO, will become president of
the new division.  "We are excited about joining a successful community bank who
shares in First State's  community-oriented values. We believe our customers and
communities  will  benefit from the broader  product line and greater  resources
available at Staten Island Savings Bank," stated Mr. Hoberman.
<PAGE>

         The  acquisition  of First  State is SIB's  first as a public  company.
Doherty added,  "we anticipate the transaction  being accretive to cash earnings
in the first full year.  This is based on  anticipated  cost saves  through  the
elimination of duplicate operating  departments,  and earnings enhancements that
are  expected  to occur  through  the gradual  replacement  of FSB's  securities
portfolio with our loan production capabilities."

         First State  Bank,  a FDIC  insured  state-chartered  commercial  bank,
currently  operates four  branches in northern  Ocean County and two in Monmouth
County, New Jersey. FSB is also in the process of opening two new branches,  one
in Ocean County and one in Monmouth County.

         SIB currently has total assets of $4.1 billion.  Upon  consummation  of
the  proposed  transaction  SIB's total  assets are expected to increase to $4.5
billion. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2000.

         SIB plans an analyst  conference  call for August 19, 1999 at 2:30 P.M.
EDT  to  present  the  strategic  rational  and  financial  implications  of the
acquisition. The telephone number to call is 1-800-967-7140, confirmation code #
760193.  Information to be provided to analysts in connection  with such call is
contained in an exhibit attached to SIB's Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 19,1999.

         This press release contains forward looking  statements with respect to
financial  condition,  results  of  operations  and  business  of Staten  Island
Bancorp,  Inc. following the consummation of the acquisition that are subject to
various factors which could cause actual results to differ  materially from such
projections  or  estimates.  Such factors  include,  but are not limited to, the
possibility that anticipated cost savings and revenue  enhancements might not be
realized  and that  adverse  economic  conditions  or an adverse  interest  rate
environment could develop.

         Staten Island  Bancorp,  Inc. is the holding  company for Staten Island
Savings Bank. The Bank was chartered in 1864 and operates  sixteen  full-service
branches  and  three   limited-service   branches  on  Staten   Island  and  one
full-service  branch  in Bay  Ridge,  Brooklyn.  The Bank  also  provides  trust
services  and savings  bank life  insurance.  The Company also owns SIB Mortgage
Corp. (a wholly owned  subsidiary of Staten Island  Savings Bank) which operates
under the name of "Ivy Mortgage" and is based in Branchburg,  NJ and has offices
in 22 states.
