ANNOUNCEMENT:   STATEN ISLAND BANCORP INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS


Staten Island, New York - Staten Island Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: SIB) announced
today that net income for the third quarter of 2002 was $44.1 million or $0.77
per diluted share. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was
$72.9 million or $1.27 per diluted share. As previously disclosed, both the
third quarter and nine months results include an after-tax credit to earnings of
$3.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, reflecting the cumulative effect (to
June 30, 2002) of a change in accounting treatment for certain loan commitments
as derivative instruments. The third quarter results also include an after-tax
credit of $7.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, related to a revision in
accounting for the Company's stock option plan.

Net income per diluted share before the cumulative change in accounting for loan
commitments and excluding the adjustments relating to the stock option plan
effect, was $0.57 and $1.26, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2002, (which included $0.09 per share as a result of the ongoing
effect of accounting for loan commitments as described below). The Company
reported net income per diluted share (exclusive of stock option plan related
adjustments) of $0.31 and $0.78 (adjusted for the two-for-one split in November
2001), respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001.

"We are pleased with our results this quarter," said Harry P. Doherty, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer. "Our core retail banking and mortgage banking
businesses continued to be strong performers and asset quality continued to
improve in a most challenging economic climate. We saw a solid increase in core
deposits and mortgage banking originations were up 46% over the second quarter.
We are confident that the financial outlook for Staten Island Bancorp remains
strong," Mr. Doherty concluded.





Financial Highlights
- --------------------

o    Net interest  income  increased  $10.4 million,  or 24.7%, to $52.3 million
     over the third  quarter of 2001.  This  increase  was driven by the overall
     lower  interest rate  environment  over the past year and a $982.3  million
     increase in average interest earning assets. On a linked quarter basis, net
     interest income was relatively flat as a $354.9 million increase in average
     interest  earning assets was offset by a 41 basis point decrease in average
     yield on interest  earning  assets in the third  quarter.  The net interest
     rate  spread  and  net  interest  margin  decreased  to  2.95%  and  3.31%,
     respectively,  for  the  current  quarter  compared  to  3.19%  and  3.59%,
     respectively,  for the second quarter.  Given the current level of interest
     rates  and  the  slope  of  the  yield  curve,  the  decreasing  trends  in
     net-interest  rate  spread and net  interest  margin  could  continue.  The
     current low interest rate environment,  however, is generally beneficial to
     the  mortgage-banking  component of the Company's business and any decrease
     in net interest income may be offset,  in whole or in part, by increases in
     net gains on the sale of loans.

o    The mortgage banking business  conducted by the Company's  subsidiary,  SIB
     Mortgage, again had a solid quarter as loan originations were up 46.6% to a
     record  $2.2  billion,  compared to $1.5  billion in the second  quarter of
     2002.  SIB  Mortgage  shipped  $2.1  billion of loans in the third  quarter
     compared to $1.6  billion in the second  quarter  and $0.9  billion in last
     year's third  quarter.  Net gains on loan sales for SIB Mortgage were $69.7
     million in the current  quarter,  including a $9.0 million  increase in the
     value of certain loan commitments  during the quarter,  as described below.
     Exclusive of this  adjustment,  net gains on loan sales were $60.7  million
     for the current quarter  compared to $39.2 million for the previous quarter
     and $26.9 million for the third quarter of 2001. The $30.5 million increase
     in net gains on loan sales  (excluding the adjustments) on a linked quarter
     basis is due to the $500 million  increase in volume of loans sold, as well
     as an  increase  in the  realized  gross  margin on loans  sold of 18 basis
     points to 2.72% in the  current  quarter,  compared  to 2.54% in the second
     quarter.

     For the quarter ended  September  30, 2002,  the  mortgage-banking  segment
     contributed  $0.29 per diluted share to the Company's net income (including
     the cumulative  effect of the accounting  change).  In the current interest
     rate  environment,  loan  origination  volume  remains  strong  and  it  is
     anticipated  that SIB Mortgage  will close $2.7 billion in loans during the
     fourth  quarter of 2002.  While  loan  origination  volume at SIB  Mortgage
     continues  to be  positively  impacted  by the current  low  interest  rate
     environment,  volume at SIB Mortgage in the future may,  particularly  with
     respect to  mortgage  loan  refinancings  (which  constitute  approximately
     three-quarters  of SIB  Mortgage's  originations  in  recent  periods),  be
     adversely affected by increases in interest rates.

o    During the quarter  ended  September  30,  2002,  the  Company  sold $314.2
     million   (including   all  $16.1  million  of  its   collateralized   bond
     obligations)  in  securities as part of a  restructuring  program to reduce
     exposure to prepayment risk, to generate funding for loan  originations and
     to  improve  the  overall  credit  quality  of  the  Company's   investment
     portfolio.   The  restructuring  resulted  in  a  net  loss  on  securities
     transactions  of $0.5 million for the quarter.

                                       2


o    Deposit growth remained strong, as total deposits  increased $180.0 million
     or 5.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. For the nine months ended
     September 30, 2002,  total deposits have increased $552.6 million or 19.0%.
     Core  deposits,  which  consist  of  Savings,  NOW,  DDA and  Money  Market
     accounts,  continued to increase and  comprised  66.6% of the total deposit
     base at September 30, 2002.

o    As part of its capital management strategy, the Company repurchased 788,659
     shares of common stock during the quarter ended  September 30, 2002.  These
     shares were acquired as part of the Company's  previously  announced  ninth
     stock repurchase program. Approximately 2.3 million shares remain available
     for repurchase under the current program.

o    Service and fee income  increased by $1.1 million,  or 22.4%,  in the third
     quarter of 2002  compared to the third  quarter of 2001.  This  increase is
     primarily the result of higher banking fees, which reflect the expansion of
     the Bank's retail branching network.

o    Total  other  expenses  for the third  quarter of 2002 were  $65.1  million
     compared to $36.1 million for the restated third quarter of 2001. Excluding
     credits to  compensation  expense  related to the  accounting  treatment of
     stock  options  of $13.6  million  in the  third  quarter  of 2002 and $7.3
     million in the third quarter of 2001,  other expenses for the third quarter
     of 2002 were $78.7 million  compared to $43.4 million for the third quarter
     of 2001.  The increase of $35.3 million is primarily due to an $8.3 million
     increase in  personnel  expense,  a $20.9  million  increase in  commission
     expense,  a $1.8 million  increase in professional  fees and a $3.8 million
     increase in other expenses.  The increase in personnel expense is primarily
     due to a $5.4 million  increase in  personnel  costs at SIB Mortgage due to
     increased loan  origination  volumes and a $0.9 million  increase in salary
     expense at the Bank due to expansion of the Bank's  branch  office  network
     and normal merit pay increases.  The increase in commissions,  professional
     fees and other expenses reflects the increased loan origination  volumes at
     SIB Mortgage.


Asset Quality
- -------------

Asset quality continued to improve in the third quarter. Non-accruing loans and
other real estate owned ("OREO") decreased $1.4 million to $23.8 million at
September 30, 2002 from $25.2 million at June 30, 2002. Of this amount, $16.0
million consisted of non-accruing loans and $7.8 million consisted of OREO,
compared to $16.6 million of non-accruing loans and $8.6 million of OREO at June
30, 2002. During the third quarter, the Company sold a previously reported
non-performing loan with a carrying value of $2.5 million and a previously
reported OREO property with a carrying value of $2.8 million at no additional
loss. Partially offsetting these sales was a net $3.9 million increase in
non-performing loans, primarily in the one-to-four residential category, which
is partially insured and as to which the Company does not anticipate any losses.
In addition, the Company has a contract to sell a previously reported OREO
property with a carrying value of $4.6 million at no additional loss. Net loan
charge-offs were $2.4 million for the quarter and were primarily the result of
$1.9 million in charge-offs related to mortgage banking operations.

                                       3



In light of current economic conditions and increased lending activity at both
the Bank and SIB Mortgage, management deemed it prudent to make a $3.3 million
provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2002, compared to $5.0
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and $2.6 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2001. The allowance for loan losses was $23.9 million or
149.5% of non-accruing loans at September 30, 2002, compared to $22.9 million or
137.7% of non-accruing loans at June 30, 2002 and $17.0 million or 117.3% of
non-accruing loans at September 30, 2001. While no assurance can be given that
future charge-offs or additional provisions will not be necessary, management
believes that, based on its current review and the level of non-accruing loans
and delinquencies, the current allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Accounting for Loan Commitments
- -------------------------------

Effective July 1, 2002, the Company implemented recent guidance issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, which requires the recognition of loan
commitments where the initial rate of interest has been determined or "fixed"
(hereinafter "locked loan commitments") as derivative instruments. This guidance
represents a change in accounting principle and requires a cumulative adjustment
to record the value of those loan commitments outstanding at July 1, 2002. The
adoption of this new principle resulted in the recognition of an after-tax
credit of $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2002 reflecting the cumulative
adjustment which is the fair value of outstanding locked loan commitments at the
adoption date. In addition, growth of the mortgage pipeline of SIB Mortgage,
combined with a decreasing interest rate environment, resulted in an increase in
the value of locked loan commitments in the third quarter by $9.0 million, which
is reflected as a current period adjustment to earnings for the quarter ended
September 30, 2002. In the future, adjustments to the value of locked loan
commitments at SIB Mortgage will be reflected in the Company's income statement.
Generally, the value of locked loan commitments will increase in a falling
interest rate environment and will decrease in a rising interest rate
environment.


Stock Option Plan
- -----------------

As the Company previously disclosed, during its review of the third quarter,
management determined that certain cashless exercises of stock options were
conducted in such manner so as to require variable plan accounting for all
options issued under its stock option plan. This change in accounting requires
the restatement of earnings in prior periods to record the related non-cash
compensation expense. As a result, the Company will restate its financial
results for 2001 and the first two quarters of 2002 to reflect previously
unrecognized non-cash compensation expenses. The resulting non-cash after-tax
charge to earnings for 2001 is $14.7 million or $0.24 per diluted share. The
non-cash after-tax charge for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 is $3.4
million, or $0.06 per diluted share. This includes a non-cash charge of $10.8
million ($0.19 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2002 (and no material
effect for the second quarter), and the previously mentioned credit of $7.4
million ($0.13 per diluted share) for the third quarter.

                                       4



Also, as previously disclosed, the Company will amend its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 as well as quarterly reports on Form
10-Q for the first three quarters of 2001, and the first two quarters of 2002,
and will file such amendments with the Securities and Exchange Commission as
promptly as practicable. The Company's financial statements at and for the year
ended December 31, 2001 to be included in the amended Annual Report on Form 10-K
will be subject to re-audit by the Company's new auditors.
