PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Incorporated herein by reference is the Company's 1998 Annual Report to
Stockholders. A discussion on the organization and nature of operations may be
found on page 14.
State Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State
of New York on November 18, 1985. The acquisition by the Company of 100% of the
outstanding shares of State Bank of Long Island (the "Bank"), on a share for
share basis, was consummated as of the close of business on June 24, 1986.
The Company has no other subsidiaries and does not engage in any activities
other than acting as holding company for the common stock of the Bank. The
business of the Company is conducted through the Bank, which continues to
conduct its business in the same manner and from the same offices as it had done
before the effective date of the reorganization. The Bank, therefore, accounts
for all of the consolidated assets and revenues of the Company.
The Company is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board") pursuant to the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Bank is subject to periodic
examination and regulation
1
by the State of New York Banking Department and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.
The Bank was organized in 1966 and is the only independent commercial bank
headquartered in New Hyde Park. It provides general banking services to
residents and businesses located substantially in the eastern end of Queens
County, Nassau County and the western end of Suffolk County. It offers a full
range of deposit products including checking, fixed and variable rate savings,
time, money market and IRA and Keogh accounts. Credit services offered include
commercial mortgages, commercial and installment loans, home equity lines of
credit, residential mortgages, letters of credit and auto loans. In addition,
the Bank provides merchant credit card services, access to annuity products, a
consumer debit card with membership in a national ATM network and, through an
alliance with U.S. Trust Company, the Bank also offers its customers access to
financial planning and wealth management services. The Bank currently has ATMs
at five of its nine branch locations. The Bank also offers its retail customers
the ability to verify their account balances, effect transfers between accounts
and access current deposit and loan rates through an automated telephone voice
response system. Commercial customers can also access this same system or they
may utilize Business Direct Access (BDA), the Company's real-time cash
management system. Through BDA, business and municipal customers can perform all
of the foregoing transactions as well as initiate wire transfers, ACH payments
and stop payment orders from a personal computer.
There is strong competition in the area serviced by the Bank from branches of
several savings banks and savings and loan associations, as well as branches of
the major New York City banks. Of these, the Bank is considerably smaller in
size than virtually all
2
of its commercial competitors, and approximates the size of only one or two of
its thrift competitors. Nonetheless, the Bank has demonstrated the ability to
compete profitably with larger financial institutions.
The Bank's business is not of a seasonal nature nor does it depend on one or a
few large customers for its existence. The Bank does not have any foreign
commitments, with the exception of letters of credit issued on behalf of several
of its depositors. The Bank's nature and conduct of business have remained
unchanged since year end 1995.
In 1979, the Bank established New Hyde Park Leasing Corporation to lease various
types of commercial equipment. During 1994, the Bank established SB ORE Corp.
to hold foreclosed property acquired in connection with extensions of credit. In
1998, the Bank established SB Portfolio Management Corp. and SB Financial
Services Corp. SB Portfolio Management Corp. provides investment management
services to the Bank while SB Financial Services Corp. provides balance sheet
management services such as interest rate risk modeling and asset/liability
management reporting along with general advisory services to the Bank and each
of its subsidiaries. SB Portfolio Management Corp. and SB Financial Services
Corp. are each based in Wilmington, Delaware. Total operating income and income
before income taxes of these subsidiaries are less than ten percent of the
respective amounts for the consolidated entity.
Compliance with provisions regulating environmental controls will have no effect
upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company.
The Company employed 202 full-time and part-time officers and employees as of
December 31, 1998.
