NORTHFIELD BANCORP, INC.
Explanatory Note (Unaudited)
Northfield Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Northfield-Delaware), filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (Commission File No. 333-167421) (Registration Statement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), which the SEC declared effective on August 6, 2010. The Registration Statement was filed to register the offer/and sale of shares of common stock of Northfield-Delaware, in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion of Northfield Bancorp, Mutual Holding Company, (MHC).
On September 30, 2010, Northfield Bancorp, Inc., a federal corporation (Northfield-Federal), announced due to the then current market conditions that Northfield-Delaware, the proposed new Stock Holding Company for Northfield Bank (the Bank), had postponed its stock offering in connection with the second-step conversion of Northfield Bancorp, MHC. Each of Northfield-Delaware and Northfield-Federal filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on September 30, 2010 to announce details of the postponement.
Due to Northfield-Delaware’s obligation to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended through the filing of its first Annual Report on Form 10-K, Northfield-Delaware filed the following reports: (1) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010; (2) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010; and (3) this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Because of the postponement of the mutual-to-stock conversion of the MHC and associated public stock offering, Northfield-Delaware had no assets, liabilities, or operations for any of the reporting periods.

NORTHFIELD BANCORP, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
Nature of Business: The Boards of Directors of Northfield Bancorp, MHC (MHC), and Northfield Bancorp, Inc. (Northfield-Federal) adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the Plan) on June 4, 2010. Pursuant to the Plan, the MHC will convert from the mutual holding company form of organization to the fully public form. The MHC will be merged into Northfield-Federal, and the MHC will no longer exist. Northfield-Federal will merge into a new Delaware corporation named Northfield Bancorp, Inc (Northfield-Delaware). As part of the conversion, the MHC’s ownership interest in Northfield-Federal will be offered for sale in a public offering. The existing publicly held shares of the Northfield-Federal, which comprise the remaining ownership interest in Northfield-Federal, will be exchanged for new shares of common stock of Northfield-Delaware. The exchange ratio will ensure that immediately after the conversion and public offering, the public shareholders of Northfield-Delaware will own the same aggregate percentage of Northfield-Federal common stock that they owned immediately prior to that time (excluding shares purchased in the stock offering and cash received in lieu of fractional shares). When the conversion and public offering are completed, all of the capital stock of Northfield Bank will be owned by Northfield-Delaware. Furthermore, existing treasury stock outstanding will be canceled upon completion of the conversion.
The Plan provides for the establishment, upon the completion of the conversion, of special “liquidation accounts” for the benefit of certain depositors of Northfield Bank in an amount equal to the greater of the MHC’s ownership interest in the retained earnings of the Company as of the date of the latest balance sheet contained in the prospectus or the retained earnings of Northfield Bank at the time it reorganized into the MHC. Following the completion of the conversion, under the rules of the Office of Thrift Supervision, Northfield Bank will not be permitted to pay dividends on its capital stock to Northfield Bancorp, Inc., its sole shareholder, if Northfield Bank’s shareholder’s equity would be reduced below the amount of the liquidation accounts. The liquidation accounts will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation accounts.
Northfield-Federal, through its principal subsidiary, Northfield Bank (the Bank), provides a full range of banking services primarily to individuals and corporate customers in Richmond and Kings Counties in New York, and Union and Middlesex Counties in New Jersey. Northfield-Federal also finances insurance premiums for commercial customers throughout the contiguous United States. Northfield-Federal is subject to competition from other financial institutions and to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies, and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The accounting and reporting policies of Northfield-Delaware, Northfield-Federal, and the Bank conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and general industry practices.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation: As of the dates of the financial statements, the transaction contemplated by the Plan of Conversion and Reorganization has not been completed and consequently, the operations of Northfield-Delaware, have not yet begun and there are no transactions to report. As of the dates of the financial statements, Northfield-Delaware does not own the Bank and consequently, there are no consolidated financial statements presented. Northfield-Delaware was formed for the purpose of effectuating the mutual-to-stock conversion of the MHC and while Northfield-Delaware is a legal entity, it has not executed any transactions of material consequence. Costs incurred by the MHC related to the mutual-to-stock conversion of the MHC and have been recorded by Northfield-Federal. All transactions in the name of Northfield-Delaware have been conducted for the benefit of the mutual-to-stock transaction of the MHC, and those costs have been recorded by Northfield-Federal, including the costs associated with the filing of this annual report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements: In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.
Plan of Conversion and Reorganization: On August 6, 2010, Northfield-Delaware filed a registration statement to register the offer/and sale of shares of common stock of the Stock Holding Company in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion of Northfield Bancorp, MHC, a Federally-chartered mutual holding company.
By action taken on September 30, 2010, the Boards of Directors of Northfield-Delaware, Northfield Bancorp, MHC, Northfield-Federal, and the Bank, postponed its stock offering in connection with the second-step conversion of Northfield Bancorp, MHC. Northfield-Federal and Northfield-Delaware filed a Form 8-K on September 30, 2010, to announce the details of the postponement.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
John W. Alexander, our Chief Executive Officer, and Steven M.

Based upon their evaluation, they each found that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting and we identified no material weaknesses requiring corrective action with respect to those controls.
