NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ----------------------------------------------------


FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------

In the opinion of the management of State  Bancorp,  Inc. (the  "Company"),  the
preceding unaudited  consolidated  financial statements contain all adjustments,
consisting  of  normal  accruals,  necessary  for a  fair  presentation  of  its
consolidated  financial condition as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and
its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 and changes in stockholders' equity for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.  The results of  operations  for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
to be expected for the remainder of the year. For further information,  refer to
the  consolidated  financial  statements and footnotes  thereto  included in the
Company's  1996  annual  report  on  Form  10-K.   Certain   amounts  have  been
reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.


STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
- --------------------


The Company has 250,000  shares of preferred  stock  authorized.  No shares were
issued as of March 31, 1997.

In connection  with the rights  offering in July 1996, the Bank's Employee Stock
Option  Plan (the  "ESOP")  borrowed  $1,200,000  from the  Company to  purchase
100,000 of the Company's  shares.  As such,  the Company  recognizes a deduction
from stockholders'  equity to reflect the unearned  compensation for the shares.
The unearned ESOP shares, pledged as collateral for the ESOP loan, are held in a
suspense  account and legally  released for allocation among the participants as
principal and interest on the loan is repaid  annually.  Shares are committed to
be  released  monthly  from the  suspense  account  and the  Company  recognizes
compensation  expense equal to the current market price of the common shares. As
of March 31, 1997,  16,943 shares have been  released from the suspense  account
and are considered outstanding for earnings per share computations.


EARNINGS PER SHARE
- ------------------

Earnings per share are computed  based on the weighted  average number of common
shares  outstanding  after giving  retroactive  effect to stock  dividends.  The
impact of the assumed exercise of stock options is immaterial or antidilutive in
all periods presented.


UNREALIZED NET LOSS ON SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
- ----------------------------------------------------

Securities  available  for  sale  are  stated  at  estimated  market  value  and
unrealized  gains and  losses are  excluded  from  earnings  and  reported  as a
separate  component of stockholders'  equity until realized.  Securities held to
maturity are stated at amortized cost.  Management  designates each security, at
the time of purchase, as either available for sale or held to maturity depending
upon investment objectives, liquidity needs and intent.

LOANS
- -----

As a result of the  Company's  evaluation  of impaired  loans,  an allowance for
possible loan losses of $1,192,131 and $1,244,000 was established for $8,879,792
and $ 8,602,044 of the total  impaired  loans at March 31, 1997 and December 31,
1996,  respectively,  with the balance of impaired  loans  requiring no specific
allowance.  The total  average  impaired  loan  balance was  $9,517,261  for the
quarter  ended March 31, 1997 and  $7,428,255  for the year ended  December  31,
1996.  Total  impaired  loans  amounted  to  $9,556,280  at March  31,  1997 and
$9,278,532 at December 31, 1996. The aggregate amount of impaired loans measured
using the present value of expected future cash flows  discounted at each loan's
effective   interest   rate  is   $5,992,978   and  the   amount   of   impaired
collateral-dependent  loans,  measured based on the fair value of the underlying
collateral,  is  $3,563,302.  Total  interest  income  recognized  for impaired,
nonaccrual  and  restructured  loans was $81,306  and  $14,734  during the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Activity in the  allowance  for possible  loan losses for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 is as follows:

ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1. MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL  CONDITION - At March 31, 1997, total assets of
the Company  amounted to $607.1 million,  a decline of $8.3 million or 1.3% when
compared to December 31,  1996.  A reduction  of $44.6  million in cash and cash
equivalents,  principally  short-term  securities  purchased under agreements to
resell (SPUARs),  accounted for the asset reduction  experienced by the Company.
Largely offsetting the foregoing decline,  the investment  securities  portfolio
expanded  by $35.1  million  to $222.5  million.  The  growth in the  investment
portfolio was in callable Government agency issues that are pledgeable to secure
municipal  deposits.  These securities have replaced  short-term SPUARs for this
purpose and have provided an increase in yield of approximately 150 basis points
in the process.  Total loans  outstanding were relatively flat at March 31, 1997
versus  year-end  1996 ($353.5  million  versus $353.3  million).  First quarter
principal amortization and normal clean-up activity offset the new business that
was generated during the first three months of the year. Management  anticipates
that expansion of the loan  portfolio will take place  throughout the balance of
the year, with year to year growth of approximately 10% an achievable target.

At March 31, 1997,  total  deposits  advanced by $22.3 million to $496.8 million
when  compared  to  year-end  1996.  This  increase  was due to a $52.1  million
increase in short-term  time deposits,  primarily  municipal CD's over $100,000.
The growth in time deposits  offset lower levels of demand and savings  deposits
resulting from a seasonal reinvestment of short-term municipal tax deposits. The
Company's  municipal finance  department is among the most active on Long Island
and serves a number of local Towns,  Villages and School Districts in Nassau and
Suffolk  counties.  The Company  also  experienced  a net decline in  short-term
borrowings of $31.3 million due to a $37.7 million  reduction in securities sold
under agreements to repurchase  (SSUAR).  Somewhat offsetting the lower level of
SSUARs was a $6.4 million increase in overnight Federal funds purchased.

Average  assets for the first  quarter of 1997 grew by $38.4  million or 7.0% to
$590.3  million from the  comparable  1996 period.  A 21.4%  increase in average
loans (up $62.5  million  to $354.9  million)  and a nominal  increase  in money
market instruments (up $3.5 million) was responsible for the asset growth during
the first  quarter of 1997.  Funding  this  growth  were  increases  in all core
deposit products (demand  deposits,  Super NOW, savings and money fund accounts)
and  certificates  of deposit over $100,000 along with a reduction in investment
securities  (down $27.6 million on average),  principally due to amortization of
mortgage-backed  issues and maturities of U.S. treasury obligations.  Short-term
money market borrowings,  primarily SSUARs,  declined on average by $9.2 million
during the first  quarter  of 1997.  The net  result of these  activities  was a
change in the mix of the  Company's  balance sheet that yielded a 24 basis point
widening  of the first  quarter's  net  interest  rate  spread (to 4.47%) and an
improved  loan to  deposit  ratio (65% in 1997  versus  58% in 1996).  Growth in
commercial  loans and commercial  mortgages at rates of prime to prime plus 2.5%
along  with  an  increased   demand  deposit  base  have  fueled  the  Company's
improvements  in net interest income and the net interest rate spread during the
first  quarter of 1997 as well as during  the  previous  two  years.  Management
anticipates that these trends will continue for the balance of 1997.

A strong capital  position is absolutely  essential to support  continued growth
and profitability,  to serve the ongoing needs of depositors and creditors,  and
to yield an attractive and  competitive  rate of return to  stockholders.  Total
stockholders' equity of the Company amounted to $49.0 million at March 31, 1997,
an increase of $8.3 million or 20.3% versus the comparable 1996 date.  Excluding
valuations  related  to  SFAS  No.  115  at  March  31,  1997  and  1996,  total
stockholders'  equity  grew at a year to year rate of 21.8%.  The ratio of total
stockholders'  equity to total  assets was  8.08%,  7.89% and 7.44% at March 31,
1997,  December  31, 1996 and March 31, 1996,  respectively.  Based upon banking
industry regulatory guidelines, a "well capitalized" institution must maintain a
Tier I  leverage  ratio  of at  least  5.00%  and Tier I and  total  capital  to
risk-weighted assets ratios of at least 6.00% and 10.00%, respectively. At March
31, 1997, the Company's sole  operating  subsidiary,  State Bank of Long Island,
maintained a Tier I leverage ratio of 7.92%, while its risk-weighted ratios were
12.46%  for Tier I capital  and  13.71%  for total  capital.  These  ratios  are
substantially in excess of the foregoing regulatory  guidelines and also compare
favorably to the Bank's peers. As previously discussed in the 1996 Annual Report
to Stockholders, the Company added $4.3 million to capital during 1996 through a
rights offering. This additional capital will continue to be utilized to support
loan growth, other investment opportunities and for general corporate purposes.

Liquidity  management  is a  fundamental  component  of the  Company's  business
strategy.  The  objective  of liquidity  management  is to ensure the ability to
access  funding which will enable the Company to maintain cash flows  sufficient
to meet immediate and future demands for credit,  deposit withdrawals,  maturing
liabilities and operating  expenses and to do so without  incurring  significant
losses.  After assessing actual and projected cash flow needs,  management seeks
to obtain  funding at the most  economical  cost to the Company.  Throughout the
first quarter of 1997, the Company's liquidity position remained stable and well
within acceptable industry  standards.  As previously  described,  low-cost core
deposit  balances  continued to grow during the first quarter of 1997,  while at
the same time, paydowns on mortgage-backed  securities also provided a source of
readily available funds to meet general  liquidity needs. In addition,  at March
31, 1997,  the Company had access to $39 million in Federal Home Loan Bank lines
of credit for  overnight  or term  borrowings  with  maturities  of up to thirty
years.  The Company also had $16.5 million in informal lines of credit  extended
by  correspondent  banks to be  utilized,  if  needed,  for  short-term  funding
purposes as well as  approximately  $29 million in  securities  available  to be
pledged to secure  repurchase  agreements  or Federal  Reserve  Discount  Window
borrowings at quarter-end 1997.

2.  MATERIAL  CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Net income for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 was  $1,714,000,  a 20.0%  improvement  over the comparable
1996 period. The higher level of earnings in 1997 resulted from a 13.0% increase
in net  interest  income  and a lower  effective  income  tax  rate.  The  lower
effective  tax rate resulted  from an increase in  tax-exempt  municipal  income
recorded  during 1997 coupled  with the  phase-out of the New York State MTA tax
surcharge on July 1, 1996. Mitigating these improvements somewhat were increases
in the provision for credit losses (up 20.0% due to continued growth in the loan
portfolio) and total operating expenses and a decline in other income during the
first quarter of 1997.

As previously mentioned,  the growth in net interest income, up $756 thousand to
$6.6 million, resulted from an expanded interest-earning asset base, principally
commercial loans and commercial mortgages, and a wider net interest rate spread.
Loan growth, although flat thus far during 1997, has generally been

                                       (8)

<PAGE>

strong during the past 18 months. An expanded lending staff, an improved economy
and the ongoing consolidation of the local banking market have provided numerous
opportunities  for the  Company to increase  its loan  portfolio.  The  Company,
offering  superior  service and response time coupled with  competitive  product
pricing,  has been able to steadily  improve its market share.  Products such as
Business Direct Access, the Company's  real-time cash management system, and the
recently introduced small business line of credit, continue to provide the local
business  community with a product line-up that competes quite  effectively with
larger financial institutions.

The Company's investment portfolio declined, on average, by 12.1% in 1997 versus
1996.  Paydowns on  mortgage-backed  issues and  maturities  of  Treasury  notes
accounted for this decline.  Somewhat offsetting these reductions were increases
in short-term  municipal  securities  (up $16.3 million on average) and callable
Government agency issues (up $34.4 million).  Management of the Company has been
an  active  purchaser  of  agency  securities  thus  far in  1997  due to  their
attractive yields and their ability to be pledged to secure municipal deposits.

Other income fell by 6.7% in the first quarter of 1997 due to losses incurred on
the  sale  of  investment   securities.   Excluding  the  impact  of  securities
transactions,  other  income  improved  by 2.2% in 1997 due to growth in annuity
commission income, wire transfer fees and cash management product income.

Total  operating  expenses  increased by 6.5% during the first  quarter of 1997,
mainly due to increases in salaries  and  employee  benefits  arising from staff
expansion in the lending group and product  support areas along with an increase
in employee  benefits  expenses  related to  incentive  compensation  plans.  In
addition,  other  operating  expenses  increased due to higher other real estate
expenses, an increased marketing and advertising budget and higher costs related
to  external  audits  and  exams and  commercial  insurance  policies.  Somewhat
offsetting the operating expense increases  previously  described were a decline
in FDIC  assessment  expenses  due to the  lowering of the  assessment  rates on
insured  deposits  during 1996 and a reduction in occupancy  costs  arising from
lower maintenance expenses on owned properties.

Despite the overall  increase in operating  expenses,  the  Company's  operating
efficiency  ratio (total  operating  expenses as a percentage  of fully  taxable
equivalent net interest revenue,  excluding securities transactions) improved to
53.6% for the first quarter of 1997 versus 57.0% a year ago. The Company's ratio
of total  operating  expenses to average total assets was 2.53% during the first
quarters of 1997 and 1996.  This ratio  places the Company in the top 15% of its
peer group for this efficiency  measure. It continues to be the Company's stated
goal  to  reduce  each  of  these  ratios  as part  of its  efforts  to  improve
efficiencies and, ultimately, stockholder value.

The Company's senior lending  personnel work in conjunction with line lenders to
determine the level of risk in the Company's  loan-related  assets and establish
an adequate  level for the allowance  for possible loan losses.  An outside loan
review   consultant   is  also  utilized  to   independently   verify  the  loan
classifications and the adequacy of the allowance.  Management actively seeks to
reduce the level of nonperforming  assets through aggressive  collection efforts
and, where necessary, litigation and charge-offs.  Nonperforming assets (defined
by the Company as  nonaccrual  loans and other real estate  owned)  totaled $6.8
million at March 31, 1997, a decrease of $0.1 million  versus  December 31, 1996
and $1.2 million versus March 31, 1996.  Nonperforming assets (as defined by the
Company) as a percentage

                                       (9)

<PAGE>

of total loans and other real estate owned were 1.93%,  1.95% and 2.64% at March
31,  1997,  December  31, 1996 and March 31,  1996,  respectively.  The level of
restructured,  accruing  loans at March 31, 1997  increased by $0.3 million when
compared  to  year-end  1996.  Restructured  loans  continue  to accrue  and pay
interest in accordance  with their revised  terms.  As outlined in the Company's
1996 Annual Report to  Stockholders,  restructured,  accruing loans include $5.0
million related to one credit which is  collateralized by commercial real estate
with a current appraised value significantly in excess of the carrying amount of
the  credit.  The  restructured  rate on  this  credit  will  remain  below  the
contractual rate until the underlying project is complete.  It is estimated that
cash flows will again be sufficient to support a market rate of interest on this
credit during the fourth  quarter of 1997.  Subsequent to the close of the first
quarter of 1997, the Company sold a commercial property classified as other real
estate owned. This sale, which resulted in a small gain,  reduced the balance of
other real estate owned by approximately $0.9 million.

The provision  for possible loan losses was up by $75 thousand  (20%) versus the
first  quarter  of 1996 due  principally  to growth in the loan  portfolio.  The
allowance  for possible  loan losses  amounted to $5.0 million or 1.42% of total
loans at March 31,  1997  versus $4.8  million or 1.59% at the  comparable  1996
date. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans improved
to 86.3%  from  85.4%  and  65.8% at  December  31,  1996 and  March  31,  1996,
respectively.  Management has determined that the current level of the allowance
for loan losses is adequate in relation to the risks  present in the  portfolio.
The Company's loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial and industrial  loans
and commercial mortgages, the majority of which are secured by collateral with a
market  value in excess of the  carrying  amounts  of the  individual  loans.  A
further review of the Company's  nonperforming assets and allowance for possible
loan losses may be found in Table 2-3 following this analysis.

(1)  INCLUDES  ONE CREDIT  TOTALING  $5.0 MILLION AT 3/31/97 AND $4.7 MILLION AT
     12/31/96,  WHICH IS COLLATERALIZED BY COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE WITH A CURRENT
     APPRAISED  VALUE  SIGNIFICANTLY  IN  EXCESS  OF THE  CARRYING  VALUE OF THE
     CREDIT.  THE  RESTRUCTURED  RATE ON  THIS  CREDIT  WILL  REMAIN  BELOW  THE
     CONTRACTUAL RATE UNTIL THE UNDERLYING PROJECT IS COMPLETE.  IT IS ESTIMATED
     THAT CASH  FLOWS  WILL  AGAIN BE  SUFFICIENT  TO  SUPPORT A MARKET  RATE OF
     INTEREST ON THIS CREDIT DURING THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 1997.

(2)  EXCLUDES  RESTRUCTURED,  ACCRUING  LOANS AND LOANS 90 DAYS OR MORE PAST DUE
     AND STILL ACCRUING.
