Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiary Magyar Bank, and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries Magyar Service Corporation, Hungaria Urban Renewal, LLC, and MagBank Investment Company. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The unaudited information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2009. The September 30, 2008 information has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

NOTE B- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards “SFAS” No.141(R), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value.” SFAS No. 141(R) applies to all business combinations, including combinations among mutual entities and combinations by contract alone. Under SFAS No. 141(R), all business combinations will be accounted for by applying the acquisition method. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 160 will require noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of permanent equity. SFAS No. 160 applies to the accounting for noncontrolling interests and transactions with noncontrolling interest holders in consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, EITF 03-6-1 was issued which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect that the adoption of EITF 03-6-1 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” to provide additional guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased. The FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The FSP emphasizes that, regardless of whether the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have decreased significantly and regardless of which valuation technique was used, the objective of a fair value measurement under FASB Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements, remains the same—to estimate the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The FSP also requires expanded disclosures. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009, and must be applied prospectively. If an entity adopts either FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” or FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” for periods ending after March 15, 2009, then it must adopt this FSP at the same time. The Company intends to adopt FSP FAS 157-4 effective June 30, 2009 and apply its provisions prospectively. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are typically measured using Level 1 inputs and as a result, the Company does not believe that the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 will have a significant effect on its financial statements.

NOTE C - CONTINGENCIES

The Company, from time to time, is a party to routine litigation that arises in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of this litigation, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE D - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Stock options and restricted stock awards were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 and the three and six months ended March 31, 2008. The following table shows the Company’s earnings per share for the periods presented:

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.07	$	(0.05	)	$	(0.60	)	$	(0.03	)

Options to purchase 217,826 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $14.61 and 62,890 shares of restricted shares at a weighted average price of $14.51 were outstanding and not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 because the grant price was greater than the average market price. Options to purchase 217,826 shares of common stock at an average price of $14.61 and 83,783 restricted shares at a weighted average price of $14.51 were outstanding and not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2008 because the grant price was greater than the average market price.

NOTE E – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments.” SFAS 123(R) requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. The cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the Company to realize as a financing cash flow rather than an operating cash flow, as previously required, the benefits of realized tax deductions in excess of previously recognized tax benefits on compensation expense. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, the Company classified share-based compensation for employees and outside directors within “compensation and employee benefits” in the consolidated statement of operations to correspond with the same line item as the cash compensation paid.

Stock options generally vest over a five-year service period. The strike price for all options was determined by the market price of the common stock on the date the options were granted. Management recognizes compensation expense for all option grants over the awards’ respective requisite service periods. The fair values of all option grants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Since there was limited historical information on the volatility of the Company’s stock, management also considered the average volatilities of similar entities for an appropriate period in determining the assumed volatility rate used in the estimation of fair value. Management estimated the expected life of the options using the simplified method allowed under SAB 107 and 110. The 7-year Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant provides the risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair values of these awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards.

Restricted shares generally vest over a five-year service period on the anniversary of the grant date. Once vested, these awards are irrevocable. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determine the fair value of restricted shares under the Company’s restricted stock plans. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Stock option and stock award expenses included with compensation expense were $81,000 and $151,000, respectively, for the six months ended March 31, 2009.

The Company completed its first stock repurchase program of 130,927 shares in November 2007 and announced a second repurchase program in November 2007 of up to 5% of its publicly-held outstanding shares of common stock, or 129,924 shares. At March 31, 2009, the Company had repurchased a total of 197,897 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $12.30 per share under both programs. Under the stock repurchase program, 62,954 shares of the 129,924 shares authorized remained available for repurchase as of March 31, 2009. The Company’s intended use of the repurchased shares is for general corporate purposes, including the funding of awards granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. On March 1, 2009, recipients of stock awards under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan were entitled to their second 20% of the shares awarded, or 20,893 shares. Accordingly, these shares were distributed from the Company’s treasury stock in March 2009.

The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for the benefit of employees of the Company and the Bank who meet the eligibility requirements as defined in the plan. The ESOP trust purchased 217,863 shares of common stock in the open market using proceeds of a loan from the Company. The total cost of shares purchased by the ESOP trust was $2.3 million, reflecting an average cost per share of $10.58. The Bank makes cash contributions to the ESOP on an annual basis sufficient to enable the ESOP to make the required loan payments to the Company. The loan bears a variable interest rate that adjusts annually every January 1st to the then published Prime Rate (3.25% at January 1, 2009) with principal and interest payable annually in equal installments over thirty years. The loan is secured by shares of the Company’s common stock.

As the debt is repaid, shares are released as collateral and allocated to qualified employees. Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 93-6, “Employer’s Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans”, issued by the Accounting Standards Division of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”). As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the then current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations.

At March 31, 2009, shares allocated to ESOP participants totaled 64,644. Unallocated ESOP shares held in suspense totaled 153,219 at March 31, 2009 and had a fair market value of $689,000. The Company's contribution expense for the ESOP was $30,000 and $135,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE G – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Effective October 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” and related interpretations, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies only to fair value measurements already required or permitted by other accounting standards and does not impose requirements for additional fair value measures. SFAS No. 157 was issued to increase consistency and comparability in reporting fair values. Our adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

The following disclosures, which include certain disclosures which are generally not required in interim period financial statements, are included herein as a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 157.

We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Our securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as held-to-maturity securities, mortgage servicing rights, loans receivable and other real estate owned, or OREO. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Table of Contents

In accordance with SFAS No. 157, we group our assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1 -

Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 -

Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 -

Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

We base our fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Securities available-for-sale

Our available-for-sale portfolio is carried at estimated fair value on a recurring basis, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in stockholders’ equity. Our securities available-for-sale portfolio consists of U.S government and government-sponsored enterprise obligations, municipal bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. The fair values of these securities are obtained from an independent nationally recognized pricing service. Our independent pricing service provides us with prices which are categorized as Level 2, as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the securities in our portfolio.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses interest rate floors to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.

The following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2009.

Table of Contents

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Mortgage Servicing Rights, net

Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR’s) are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of MSR is determined through a calculation of future cash flows, incorporating estimates of assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value including market discount rates, prepayment speeds, servicing income, servicing costs, default rates and other market driven data, including the market’s perception of future interest rate movements and, as such, are classified as Level 3.

Impaired Loans

Loans which meet certain criteria are evaluated individually for impairment. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. As used in SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (FAS114), and in SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (FAS 5), as amended, all amounts due according to the contractual terms means that both the contractual interest payments and the contractual principal payments of a loan will be collected as scheduled in the loan agreement. FAS 114 established three impairment measurement methods, depending upon the collateral securing the asset: 1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate (the rate of return implicit in the loan); 2) the asset’s observable market price; or 3) the fair value of the collateral if the asset is collateral dependent. The regulatory agencies require this method for loans from which repayment is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. Our impaired loans are generally collateral dependent and, as such, are carried at the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Fair value is estimated through current appraisals, and adjusted as necessary, by management, to reflect current market conditions and, as such, are generally classified as Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned is carried at lower of cost or estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the real estate is determined through current appraisals, and adjusted as necessary, by management, to reflect current market conditions. As such, other real estate owned is generally classified as Level 3.

The following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2009.

The Company held $5.6 million of other real estate owned properties at March 31, 2009 and $4.7 million of other real estate owned properties at September 30, 2008.

The Company did not incur any write downs on properties foreclosed upon during the six months ended March 31, 2009. Additionally, there were no further charges to expense for properties held during the six months ended March 31, 2009. Further declines in real estate values may result in a charge to expense in the future. Routine holding costs are charged to expense as incurred and improvements to real estate owned that enhance the value of the real estate are capitalized.

NOTE L – INCOME TAXES

The Company records income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” as amended, using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities: (i) are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns; (ii) are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases; and (iii) are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Where applicable, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance for any portions determined not likely to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period of enactment. The valuation allowance is adjusted, by a charge or credit to income tax expense, as changes in facts and circumstances warrant. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences are deductible and carry forwards are available. Due to the uncertainty of the Company's ability to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, the net deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance at March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this filing and in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company’s press releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases, “anticipate,” “would be,” “will allow,” “intends to,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “projected,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those risks previously disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, regulatory considerations, competition, technological developments, retention and recruitment of qualified personnel, and market acceptance of the Company’s pricing, products and services, and with respect to the loans extended by the Bank and real estate owned, the following: risks related to the economic environment in the market areas in which the Bank operates, particularly with respect to the real estate market in New Jersey; the risk that the value of the real estate securing these loans may decline in value; and the risk that significant expense may be incurred by the Company in connection with the resolution of these loans.

The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and advises readers that various factors, including regional and national economic conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and other risks of lending and investing activities, and competitive and regulatory factors, could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Critical accounting policies may involve complex subjective decisions or assessments. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies.

Allowance for Loan Loss. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover credit losses in the loan portfolio both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of our most critical. Due to the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions utilized and the potential for changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for loan losses, the methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management.

As a substantial amount of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, appraisals of the underlying value of property securing loans and discounted cash flow valuations of properties are critical in determining the amount of the allowance required for specific loans. Assumptions for appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly affect the valuation of a property securing a loan and the related allowance determined. The assumptions supporting such appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are carefully reviewed by management to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans.

Table of Contents

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. We consider a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates by management that may be susceptible to significant change based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions.

The evaluation has a specific and general component. The specific component relates to loans that are delinquent or otherwise identified as impaired through the application of our loan review process and our loan grading system. All such loans are evaluated individually, with principal consideration given to the value of the collateral securing the loan and discounted cash flows. Specific impairment allowances are established as required by this analysis. The general component is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general component of the allowance for loan losses.

Actual loan losses may be significantly greater than the allowances we have established, which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.

Deferred Income Taxes. The Company records income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” as amended, using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities: (i) are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns; (ii) are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases; and (iii) are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008

Total assets increased $42.8 million, or 8.3%, to $557.1 million at March 31, 2009 from $514.3 million at September 30, 2008, represented by significant growth in net loans receivable, investment securities, and interest earning deposits with banks.

Net loans receivable increased $26.3 million, or 6.5%, to $432.4 million at March 31, 2009 from $406.1 million at September 30, 2008. During the six months ended March 31, 2009, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans increased $8.9 million, or 5.6%, to $166.8 million. In addition, commercial business loans and commercial real estate loans increased $8.9 million, or 24.9%, and $4.5 million, or 4.9%, to $44.9 million and $97.4 million, respectively. Home equity lines of credit increased $3.4 million, or 21.6% to $19.3 million. Construction loans increased $3.1 million, or 3.3%, to $95.9 million at March 31, 2009.

At March 31, 2009, the significant loan categories in terms of the percent of total loans were 38.0% in one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, 22.2% in commercial real estate loans, and 21.9% in construction loans. At September 30, 2008 these categories in terms of the percent of total loans were 38.4% in one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, 22.6% in commercial real estate loans, and 22.6% in construction loans. The remaining total loans at March 31, 2009 were comprised of 10.3% commercial business, 4.4% home equity lines of credit and 3.2% of other loans, which consisted primarily of stock-

secured consumer loans. Throughout 2009 we expect to continue with our strategy of diversifying the Company’s balance sheet with higher concentrations in commercial business and real estate loans.

Total non-performing loans increased $3.8 million to $23.9 million at March 31, 2009 from $20.1 million at September 30, 2008. Adverse economic conditions have led to an increase in non-performing loans, particularly in the Company’s construction loan portfolio. The repayment of construction loans is typically dependent upon the sale of the collateral securing the loan, which has been negatively impacted by rapid deterioration in the housing market and decreased buyer demand. As a result, construction projects have slowed and reached their maturity dates. In order for the Company to extend the loans beyond the original maturity date, the value of the collateral securing the loan must be assessed, which is typically done by obtaining an updated third-party appraisal. Given the deterioration in the economy and, specifically, the housing market, updated valuations of the collateral reflect depreciation from earlier assessments. To the extent that an updated valuation of the collateral is insufficient to cover a collateral-dependent loan, the Company reduces the balance of the loan via a charge to the allowance for loan loss.

The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans receivable was 5.4% at March 31, 2009 compared with 4.9% at September 30, 2008. Accordingly, the allowance for loan losses increased $1.7 million to $6.2 million or 25.8% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2009 compared with $4.5 million or 22.4% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2008. Provisions for loan loss during the six months ended March 31, 2009 were $4.4 million while net charge-offs were $2.8 million. The allowance for loan losses was 1.4% of gross loans outstanding at March 31, 2009 and 1.1% of gross loans outstanding at September 30, 2008. In connection with its most recent regular examination of the Bank, the FDIC requested, and the Bank’s board of directors agreed in December 2008, to certain corrective actions, which related to the implementation of an enhanced loan review program, an enhanced credit administration program, and the reduction of adversely classified, special mention and delinquent assets.

Securities available-for-sale decreased $5.8 million, or 11.8%, to $43.5 million at March 31, 2009 from $49.3 million at September 30, 2008. The decrease was the result of $24.4 million in securities sold and $3.9 million in principal payments partially offset by $21.9 million in new security purchases and an increase in the market value of securities available-for-sale of $548,000.

Other real estate owned (OREO) increased $1.0 million during the six months to $5.6 million at March 31, 2009. The foreclosure of a banquet facility located in Lodi, New Jersey during the Company’s first fiscal quarter resulted in a $2.2 million increase in the balance of OREO. The Bank was in the process of evaluating offers to purchase the property at March 31, 2009. The increase in OREO was partially offset by $1.2 million in deposits received to purchase three of the six residential lots owned in Rumson, New Jersey. The carrying value of other real estate owned represents the lower of cost or the Bank’s net realizable value at March 31, 2009.

Total deposits increased $55.5 million, or 14.8%, to $431.0 million at March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to balances of certificates of deposit, which increased $23.0 million, or 13.0%, to $200.2 million at March 31, 2009 from $177.3 million at September 30, 2008. The $23.0 million increase included a $9.3 increase in CDARS time deposits, a CD instrument that provides FDIC insurance up to $50 million. Saving accounts increased $16.7 million, or 49.0%, to $50.8 million at March 31, 2009 from $34.1 million at September 30, 2008. Other significant changes in total deposits over the six month period included increases in demand accounts of $5.6 million, or 22.6% to $30.3 million, in interest-bearing NOW accounts of $6.1 million, or 16.9%, to $42.3 million, and in retirement accounts of $2.8 million, or 9.5%, to $32.4 million.

Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York decreased $14.1 million, or 19.3% to $58.9 million at March 31, 2009 from $72.9 million at September 30, 2008. To the extent that the growth in deposit accounts was not used to fund loan growth and purchase investment securities, borrowings were repaid.

Table of Contents

Stockholders’ equity decreased $2.9 million, or 6.3%, to $42.9 million at March 31, 2009 from $45.8 million at September 30, 2008. The decrease was attributable to a net loss of $3.5 million recorded during the six month period, partially offset by accumulated other comprehensive gains of $365,000. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, 9,600 shares of Company stock were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $62,000.

Average Balance Sheets for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

The tables on the following pages present certain information regarding the Company’s financial condition and net interest income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The tables present the annualized average yield on interest-earning assets and the annualized average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. We derived the yields and costs by dividing annualized income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. We derived average balances from daily balances over the periods indicated. Interest income includes fees that we consider adjustments to yields.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

Net Income (Loss). Net income increased $707,000, to $409,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with the net loss of $298,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income decreased $33,000, or 1.0%, to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Total interest and dividend income decreased $597,000, or 8.3%, to $6.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 while total interest expense decreased $564,000, or 15.2%, to $3.1 million from the same three month period one year earlier. For the comparison period our interest rate spread decreased 27 basis points to 2.59% from 2.86%. Foregone interest income on non-performing loans for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $427,000.

Interest Income. The decrease in interest income of $597,000, or 8.3%, to $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was primarily due to a 119 basis point decrease in the overall yield of interest-bearing assets to 5.28% from 6.47%, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $54.3 million to $499.7 million from $445.5 million. Interest earned on loans decreased $797,000 to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $6.5 million for the prior year period. The decrease reflected a 127 basis point decrease in the average yield on such loans to 5.41% from 6.68%, partially offset by a $33.1 million, or 8.4%, increase in the average balance of such loans. The decrease in yield between the two periods was due primarily to adjustable-rate loans that are indexed to the Prime Rate, which fell 200 basis points to 3.25% at March 31, 2009 from 5.25% at March 31, 2008.

Interest earned on our investment securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock, increased $240,000, or 41.8%, to $814,000. The increase was due to a $17.8 million, or 35.8%, increase in the average balance of such securities to $67.4 million for the current period from $49.6 for the same period of last year, while the average yield on such securities increased 12 basis points to 4.87% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 4.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increased average balance of our investment securities reflected additional investment of proceeds from growth in deposit accounts.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $564,000, or 15.2%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a 92 basis point decrease in the average cost of such liabilities to 2.69% from 3.61%, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $57.0 million, or 13.8%, to $469.0 million from $412.0 million.

The average balance of interest bearing deposits increased to $378.4 million from $340.1 million while the average cost of such deposits decreased 98 basis points to 2.50% from 3.48% in the lower market interest rate environment. As a result, interest paid on deposits decreased to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Interest paid on advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased to $781,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $750,000 for the prior year period. An increase in the average balance of such borrowings to $90.6 million from $71.9 million was largely offset by a 72 basis point decrease in the average cost of advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase to 3.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 4.18% for the prior year period.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to earnings, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group information and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events

Table of Contents

occur. After an evaluation of these factors, management recorded a provision of $411,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to a provision of $391,000 for the prior year period.

The increase in loan loss reserves was due to higher levels of non-performing loans, adverse economic conditions resulting in the depreciation of collateral values securing construction and commercial loans, and higher levels of loan charge-offs during the current quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, non-performing loans increased $2.1 million to $23.9 million from $21.8 million at December 31, 2008.

Net charge-offs were $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $317,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Using updated appraised values on real estate securing non-performing loans, net of anticipated disposal costs, the Bank decreased its allowance for loan loss by reducing the carrying value of four loans totaling $4.4 million by $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. In addition to these charge-offs, the Bank accepted a short-sale on a $1.7 million construction loan that resulted in a $19,000 reduction in the allowance for loan loss.

Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Management reviews the level of the allowance on a quarterly basis, and establishes the provision for loan losses based on the factors set forth in the preceding paragraph. As management evaluates the allowance for loan losses, the increased risk associated with larger non-homogenous construction, commercial real estate and commercial business loans may result in larger additions to the allowance for loan losses in future periods.

Other Income. Non-interest income increased $783,000, or 243.9%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $321,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to $772,000 in gains on the sales of available-for-sale investment securities. The gains resulted from sales of mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds in the current lower interest rate environment.

Other Expenses. Non-interest expenses decreased $50,000, or 1.3%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Compensation and employee benefits decreased $169,000, or 7.5%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was the result of reductions in salaries (through employee attrition), incentive expenses, and conference and convention expenses.

The reductions in compensation and benefits were offset by a $135,000 increase in other expenses, which increased 29.5% to $592,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $457,000 for the same period last year. The FDIC substantially increased its assessment rate for all insured banks in an effort to increase its reserve ratio, resulting in an increased expense of $101,000, or 158.9%, to $165,000 in the current quarter compared with $64,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. In the wake of several recent bank failures, it is likely that the FDIC assessment will be increased further.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense. The Company recognized income tax expenses of $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with $48,000 of income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The effective tax rate was 5.8% and 13.9% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The difference in the effective tax rate in 2009 as compared to 2008 was primarily a result of the relative percentage of the permanent differences, such as income derived from tax-exempt municipal bonds and increases in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance, as compared to pretax income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

Net Income (Loss). The Company recorded a net loss of $3.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009. Net income decreased $3.3 million from the net loss of $156,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income decreased $202,000, or 2.9%, to $6.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $7.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. Total interest and dividend income decreased $1.6 million to $13.2 million for the six-month period ended March 31, 2009 while total interest expense decreased $1.4 million to $6.4 million for the same six-month period. For the comparison period our interest rate spread decreased 32 basis points to 2.59% from 2.91%.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $1.6 million, or 10.6%, to $13.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $14.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a 136 basis point decrease in the overall yield of interest-bearing assets to 5.35% from 6.71%, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $52.7 million to $493.5 million from $440.8 million. Interest earned on loans decreased to $11.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $13.5 million for the prior year period. The decrease reflected a 142 basis point decrease in the average yield on such loans to 5.48% from 6.90%, partially offset by a $30.5 million, or 7.8%, increase in the average balance of loans. The decline in yield on loans reflected an overall lower interest rate environment for residential mortgage, commercial business, commercial real estate, and construction loans.

Interest earned on investment securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock, increased 38.7% to $1.7 million for the six month period ended March 31, 2009 from $1.2 million a year earlier. An increase in the average balance of such securities of $19.6 million, or 40.4% to $68.0 million from $48.4 million was partially offset by an 11 basis point decrease in the average yield on investment securities to 4.99% from 5.10%. The increased average balance of our investment securities reflected the more favorable spreads available on such investments as compared with the prior year period when the interest yield curve was either flat or inverted.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.4 million, or 17.6%, to $6.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $7.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a 104 basis point decrease in the average cost of such liabilities to 2.76% from 3.80%, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $55.7 million, or 13.7%, to $462.5 million.

The average balance of interest bearing deposits increased $23.8 million to $366.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $342.5 million for the same period last year while the average cost of such deposits decreased 108 basis points to 2.61% from 3.69%. This resulted in a 24.0% decrease in interest paid on deposits to $4.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $6.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. Interest paid on advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased

Table of Contents

to $1.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $1.4 million for the prior year period. The increase in advance interest expense was due to an increase in the average balance of such advances to $96.1 million from $64.3 million offset by a 109 basis point decrease in the average cost of advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase to 3.31% for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from 4.40% for the prior year period. The proceeds from the increase in the balance of deposits and advances were used to fund the increase in loans and investment securities during the period.

Provision for Loan Losses. Management made a provision of $4.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to a $614,000 provision for the prior year period. The increase in the provision for loan loss was due primarily to higher level of non-performing loans, adverse economic conditions resulting in the depreciation of collateral values securing construction and commercial loans, and higher level of loan charge-offs during the six months period. Non-performing loans increased $3.8 million to $23.9 million at March 31, 2009 from $20.1 million at September 30, 2008.

Net charge-offs were $2.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $317,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008. Using updated appraised values on real estate securing non-performing loans, net of anticipated disposal costs, the Bank decreased its allowance for loan loss by reducing the carrying value of six loans totaling $6.6 million by $2.7 million during the six months ended March 31, 2009. In addition to these charge-offs, the Bank accepted short-sales on a two construction loans totaling $2.3 million that resulted in a $37,000 reduction in the allowance for loan loss.

Other Income. Non-interest income increased $759,000 to $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $661,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to $772,000 in gains on the sales of available-for-sale investment securities. The gains resulted from sales of mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds in the current lower interest rate environment.

Other Expenses. Non-interest expense decreased $19,000 to $7.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $7.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008.

Compensation and employee benefits decreased 4.7% or $204,000 to $4.1 million during the six-month period ended March 31, 2009 from $4.3 million during the six-month period ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was the result of reductions in salaries (through employee attrition), incentive expenses, allocations of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and conference and convention expenses.

Other expenses increased $178,000, or 19.6%, to $1.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $909,000 for the same period last year primarily due to higher Federal Deposit Insurance Company assessments. The FDIC substantially increased its assessment rate for all insured banks in an effort to increase its reserve ratio, resulting in an increased expense of $168,000, or 221.7%, to $244,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared with $76,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008. In the wake of several recent bank failures, it is likely that the FDIC assessment will be increased further.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). The Company recognized an income tax expense of $44,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared with $28,000 of income tax benefit for the six months ended March 31, 2008. The effective tax rate was (1.3%) and 15.2% for the six months periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The difference in the effective tax rate in 2009 as compared to 2008 was primarily a result of the relative percentage of the permanent differences, such as such as income derived from tax-exempt municipal bonds and increases in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance, as compared to pretax income.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.141(R), “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141(R) requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value.” SFAS No. 141(R) applies to all business combinations, including combinations among mutual entities and combinations by contract alone. Under SFAS No. 141(R), all business combinations will be accounted for by applying the acquisition method. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
