The Schedule 13D Statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Norman E. Alexander and the following corporations which are directly or indirectly wholly-owned by Mr. Alexander (except for Forfed Corporation which is controlled by Mr. Alexander): Fifty Broad Street, Inc. (“Fifty Broad”), a New York corporation; Forfed Corporation (“Forfed”), a Delaware corporation; 42 New Street, Inc. (“42 New”), a New York corporation; Galleon Syndicate Corporation (“Galleon”), a New York corporation; and Youandi Corporation (“Youandi”), a New York corporation (the “Corporations”) with respect to Sequa Corporation Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Shares”) is amended by the following information.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Mr. Alexander, through the Corporations, the Norman E. Alexander Family Foundation (the “Foundation”), the Sequa 401(k) Plan and through a grantor retained annuity trust (the “Trust”), beneficially owns an aggregate of 2,100,190 Class A Shares which is approximately 29.4% of the outstanding Class A Shares. If all of the Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Alexander (including the shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned through the Trust) were converted to Class A Shares, then Mr. Alexander would own 4,108,964 Class A Shares which would be 44.9% of the Class A Shares then outstanding.

Each of the above Corporations and the Foundation has the sole right to vote and dispose of all of its Class A Shares, but Mr. Alexander, by virtue of his ownership and positions with the Corporations and the Foundation, has the power to vote and dispose of all of the Class A Shares owned by the Corporations and the Foundation. The Trust has the shared right to vote all of its Class A Shares (including the Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Trust), but Mr. Alexander retains the right to dispose of the Class A Shares in accordance with the terms of the Trust.

On December 10, 2004, Fifty Broad exchanged (i) 41,439 Class A Shares with the Charlotte W. Krinsly 2003 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust II for 41,439 shares of Class B Common Stock and (ii) 22,591 Class A Shares with the Charlotte W. Krinsly 2004 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust II for 22,591 shares of Class B Common Stock. The Class A Shares were valued at $60.50 per share. The 64,030 shares of Class B Common Stock acquired by Fifty Broad are convertible into Class A Shares on a one-to-one basis.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understanding or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Pursuant to a letter agreement among Fifty Broad, the Charlotte W. Krinsly 2003 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust II and the Charlotte W. Krinsly 2004 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust II, Fifty Broad sold the 64,030 Class A Shares that are the subject of this Amendment No. 8.

Exhibit A. Letter Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2004, by and among Fifty Broad Street, Inc., the Charlotte W. Krinsly 2003 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust II and the Charlotte W. Krinsly 2004 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust II.
