CMS Bancorp, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CMS Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Community Mutual Savings Bank (the Bank). The Companys business is conducted principally through
the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in the consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.
2. Description of Operations
The Bank
was originally chartered in 1887 as Community Savings and Loan, a New York State-chartered savings and loan association. In 1980, it converted to a New York State-chartered savings bank and changed its name to Community Mutual Savings Bank of
Southern New York. In 1983, Community Mutual Savings Bank of Southern New York changed its name to Community Mutual Savings Bank. In 2007, the Bank reorganized to a federally-chartered mutual savings bank and simultaneously converted from a
federally-chartered mutual savings bank to a federally-chartered stock savings bank, with the concurrent formation of the Company. The Company, a stock holding company for the Bank, conducted a public offering of its common stock in connection with
the conversion. After the 2007 conversion and offering, all of the Banks stock is owned by the Company.
The Bank is a community and
customer-oriented retail savings bank offering residential mortgage loans and traditional deposit products and, to a lesser extent, commercial real estate, small business and consumer loans in Westchester County, New York, and the surrounding areas.
The Bank also invests in various types of assets, including securities of various government-sponsored enterprises and mortgage-backed securities. The Banks revenues are derived principally from interest on loans, interest and dividends
received from its investment securities and fees for bank services. The Banks primary sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal and mortgage-backed securities, maturities and calls of investment
securities, funds provided by operations and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.
3. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation
S-X and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of America.
However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three months and nine months
ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, which are in the Companys Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 15,
2009.
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance on subsequent events which establishes general
standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. This guidance sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of the reporting
entity, should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition in the financial statements, identifies the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in
its financial statements, and the disclosure that should be made about events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated the events that occurred after
June 30, 2010 and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.
7
4. Critical Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the statements of financial condition and
revenues and expenses for the periods then ended. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
It is managements
opinion that accounting estimates covering certain aspects of the business have more significance than others due to the relative importance of those areas to overall performance, or the level of subjectivity required in making these estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the potential impairment of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, the determination of
other-than-temporary impairment on securities, and the assessment of whether deferred taxes are more likely than not to be realized.
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses represents its best estimate of losses known and inherent in the loan portfolio that are both
probable and reasonable to estimate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in market and economic conditions in the
Companys market area. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Companys allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to
the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
Managements determination of whether investments, including FHLB stock, are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of
their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Managements assessment as to the amount of deferred taxes more likely than not to be realized is based upon future taxable income, which is subject to revision upon updated
information.
5. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share was computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding,
adjusted for unearned shares of the Companys ESOP. Stock options granted are considered common stock equivalents and are therefore considered in diluted net income (loss) per share calculations, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method.
All outstanding stock options were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three month and nine month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

On January 28, 2010, the Board of Directors passed a resolution to suspend the accrual of benefits
under the Companys defined benefit pension plan. The suspension became effective during the three month period ended March 31, 2010 and is expected to reduce annual pension expense by approximately $165,000 for the year ended
September 30, 2010 compared to what the expense would have been without such suspension of the accrual of benefits. This suspension is expected to reduce annual pension expense by approximately $300,000 per year thereafter, compared to what the
expense would have been without such suspension of the accrual of benefits.
7. Stock Repurchase Programs
On April 17, 2008, the Companys Board of Directors approved a stock buy back plan that authorized the Company to buy back up to 98,647 shares
of the outstanding stock of the Company. The buy back was administered as a 10(b)5-1 plan by Stifel Nicolaus, the Companys investment banker. Through September 30, 2008, 98,647 shares of the Companys common stock had been
repurchased for $999,000.
On September 25, 2008, the Companys Board of Directors approved an additional stock buy back plan that
authorized the Company to buy back up to 93,715 shares of the outstanding stock of the Company. The buy back plan was administered as a 10(b)5-1 plan by Stifel Nicolaus, the Companys investment banker. Through September 30, 2009, 93,715
shares of common stock had been repurchased for $661,000. No shares have been repurchased since September 30, 2009.
8. Stock Based
Compensation
In November 2009, the Company granted 8,300 options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise
price of $7.25 per share. The stock options awarded vest over a five year service period based on the anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of each stock option grant was established at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The Black-Scholes model used the following weighted average assumptions for options granted in November 2009: risk-free interest rate of 3.37%; volatility factor of expected market price of the Companys common stock of 24.1%;
weighted average expected lives of the options of 7 years; and no cash dividends. The calculated weighted average fair value of options granted using these assumptions was $2.49 per option.
In May 2010, the Company granted 6,000 options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $8.35 per share. The stock
options awarded vest over a five year service period based on the anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of each stock option grant was established at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model
used the following weighted average assumptions for options granted in May 2010: risk-free interest rate of 3.34%; volatility factor of expected market price of the Companys common stock of 44.5%; weighted average expected lives of the options
of 7 years; and no cash dividends. The calculated weighted average fair value of options granted using these assumptions was $4.25 per option.
The Company recorded compensation expense with respect to stock options of $23,000 and $21,000 during the three month periods ended June 30, 2010
and 2009, respectively, and $66,000 and $62,000 during the nine month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Unrecognized compensation associated with stock option grants as of June 30, 2010 was $244,000.
The Company has a Management Recognition Plan (MRP). The shares of restricted stock awarded under the MRP vest over a five year service
period based on the anniversary of the grant date. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Companys common stock determines the fair value of the shares covered under the MRP. The Company recognizes
compensation expense for the fair value of the shares covered by the MRP on a straight line basis over the requisite service period. In November 2007, 61,701 shares of restricted stock were awarded under the MRP, of which 37,021 were non-vested as
of June 30, 2010. In November 2009 and May 2010, 4,150 shares and 2,000 shares, respectively, of restricted stock were awarded under the MRP, all of which were non-vested as of June 30, 2010.
The Company recorded compensation expense with respect to such restricted stock of $33,000 and $31,000 during the three month periods ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively and $98,000 and $94,000 during the nine month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Unrecognized compensation associated with grants of restricted stock as of June 30, 2010 was $345,000.

When the fair value of a security is below its amortized cost, and
depending on the length of time the condition exists, additional analysis is performed to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment condition exists. Securities are analyzed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment. The
analysis considers (i) whether the Company has the intent to sell the securities prior to recovery and/or maturity and (ii) whether it is more likely than not that the Company will have to sell the securities prior to recovery and/or
maturity. Often, the information available to conduct these assessments is limited and rapidly changing, making estimates of fair value subject to judgment. If actual information or conditions are different than estimated, the extent of the
impairment of the security may be different than previously estimated, which could have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any of the individual unrealized losses at September 30, 2009, represent an other-than-temporary impairment. All
mortgage-backed securities are U.S. Government Agencies backed and collateralized by residential mortgages.
During the three month period
ended December 31, 2009, the Company sold, or had called, available for sale securities with a carrying value of $9.9 million, and recognized a gain of $199,000 on such sales. There were no additional sales of securities available for sale
during the nine months ended June 30, 2010, or during the three months or nine months ended June 30, 2009.
10
During the three month period ended December 31, 2009, proceeds from sales of securities held to
maturity totaled $163,000, including gross gains of $9,000. The securities sold consisted of mortgaged-backed securities on which the Company had already collected more than eighty-five percent of the principal outstanding at the sale date. There
were no additional sales of securities held to maturity during the nine months ended June 30, 2010, or during the three months or nine months ended June 30, 2009.
10. Fair Value Measurements
U.S. GAAP
has established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets
that are not active; or inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets
or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value
requires significant management judgment or estimation.
An assets or liabilitys level within the fair value hierarchy is based on
the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where
available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments
are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and counterparty creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied
consistently over time. The Companys valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective value or reflective of future values. While management believes the
Companys valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate
of fair value at the reporting date.
In addition, the guidance requires the Company to disclose the fair value for financial assets on both a
recurring and non-recurring basis.

within the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 are summarized below:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instruments at June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Interest
Receivable and Interest Payable
.
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, interest receivable and interest payable approximate fair value because they mature in three months or less.
Securities
.
The fair value for debt securities, both available for sale and held to maturity are based on quoted market prices or dealer
prices (Level 1), if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are determined by obtaining matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on
quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).
Loans Receivable
.
The fair value of loans receivable is estimated by discounting the future cash flows, using the
current market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities, of such loans.
Loans Held for Sale
. Loans held for sale are carried at estimated fair value in the aggregate, determined based on actual amounts subsequently
realized after the balance sheet date, or estimates of amounts to be subsequently realized, based on actual amounts realized for similar loans.
Deposits
.
The fair value of demand, savings and club accounts is equal to the amount payable on demand at the
reporting date. The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated using market rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding
provided by deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market.
Advances from FHLB
. Fair value is estimated
using rates currently offered for advances of similar remaining maturities.
12
Commitments to Extend Credits.
The fair value of commitments to fund credit lines and originate or
participate in loans is estimated using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed rate loan commitments, fair
value also considers the difference between current levels of interest and the committed rates. The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment, and the fair value, determined by discounting the
remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, was not considered material at June 30, 2010 or September 30, 2009.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

Limitations
The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instruments. Fair
value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve
uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Further, the foregoing estimates may not reflect the actual amount that could be
realized if all of the financial instruments were offered for sale.
In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on-and-off
balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to value the anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial assets and liabilities include premises and equipment and advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on
fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.
Finally, reasonable comparability between financial institutions
may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies
introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.

12. Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock
The Companys required investment in the common stock of the FHLB of New York is carried at cost as of June 30, 2010 and September 30,
2009. Management evaluates this common stock for impairment in accordance with the FASB guidance on accounting by certain entities that lend to or finance the activities of others. Managements determination of whether this investment is
impaired is based on its assessment of the ultimate recoverability of the investments cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of cost is influenced
by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments
required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB.
Management believes no impairment charge was necessary related to the FHLB stock as of June 30, 2010.
13. Loans Receivable
At June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company had loans in the amount of $1.7 million that were considered to be
impaired, on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued. The average balances of impaired loans outstanding during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $1.7 million and no interest income was recorded on these impaired loans during
the nine months ended June 30, 2010. Had all such loans been performing in accordance with their original terms, additional interest income of $66,000 would have been recognized during the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The Company is
not committed to lend additional funds on these non-accrual loans.
14. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB issued guidance concerning accounting for transfers of financial assets and repurchase financing transactions. This guidance addresses the issue
of whether or not these transactions should be viewed as two separate transactions or as one linked transaction. The guidance includes a rebuttable presumption that presumes linkage of the two transactions unless the
presumption can be overcome by meeting certain criteria. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and applies only to original transfers made after that date; early adoption will not be allowed. The
implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The FASB issued guidance concerning disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities, an amendment to previous guidance on the
topic. This guidance requires entities that utilize derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as any details of credit-risk-related contingent features
contained within derivatives. This guidance also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives located within the financial statements, how the provisions of the previous guidance has been
applied, and the impact that hedges have on an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early
application encouraged. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The FASB issued guidance concerning determination of the useful life of intangible assets. This guidance amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under guidance concerning goodwill and other intangible assets. The intent of this guidance is to improve the consistency between the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset under guidance concerning goodwill and other intangible assets and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under guidance concerning business combinations, and other
GAAP. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The FASB issued guidance concerning accounting for transfers of
financial assets, an amendment to previous guidance on the topic. This statement prescribes the information that a reporting entity must provide in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its
financial position, financial performance and cash flows; and a
14
transferors continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Specifically, among other aspects, this guidance amends previous guidance concerning accounting for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities by removing the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from previous guidance on transfers and servicing and removes the exception from applying previous guidance on transfers
and servicing to variable interest entities that are qualifying special-purpose entities. It also modifies the financial-components approach used in previous guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2009. The implementation of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The FASB issued guidance requiring an enterprise to determine whether its variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a
variable interest entity. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the enterprise that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic
performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable
interest entity. This guidance also amends previous guidance to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2009. The implementation of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The FASB issued guidance updating fair value measurements and disclosures. This guidance amends prior guidance to clarify that in circumstances in which
a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using (1) a valuation technique that uses a quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or
quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or (2) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principals of FASB guidance. Two examples would be an income approach, such as a present value
technique, or a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability. When estimating
the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. Both a quoted price in an active
market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level I fair value
measurements. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
The
FASB issued guidance on transfers and servicing of financial assets which improves financial reporting by eliminating the exceptions for qualifying special-purpose entities from the consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale
accounting for certain mortgage securitizations when a transferor has not surrendered control over the transferred financial assets. In addition, the amendments require enhanced disclosures about the risks that a transferor continues to be exposed
to because of its continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Comparability and consistency in accounting for transferred financial assets will also be improved through clarifications of the requirements for isolation and limitations on
portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. This update is effective at the start of a reporting entitys first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009 and is not expected to have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued guidance on accounting for distributions to shareholders with components of
stock and cash. The amendments in this update clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect
to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend. This update is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and is
not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
The FASB has issued guidance regarding fair
value measurements and disclosures which requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. This guidance requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant
transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using
15
significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. In addition, this guidance clarifies the requirements
of the existing disclosures such that for purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and, a
reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued amended guidance which was effective upon issuance, to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which
subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The FASB
believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SECs literature.
The FASB issued guidance about the effect of a loan
modification when the loan is part of a pool that is accounted for as a single asset. The guidance provides that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the
modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. This guidance is effective prospectively for modifications of loans accounted for within pools occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or
after July 15, 2010, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
The FASB
issued guidance regarding disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables including loans and the allowance for credit losses. This guidance requires more information about the credit quality of financing receivables in the disclosures
to financial statements, such as aging information and credit quality indicators. Both new and existing disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment or class. The disaggregation of information is based on how a company develops
its allowance for credit losses and how it manages its credit exposure. The effective date of this guidance requires disclosures as of the end of a reporting period on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments that require disclosures
about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial
statements.

17
General
The Companys results of operations depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income it earns on its
loans, investments and other interest-earning assets and the interest it pays on its deposits, borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on these balances. The Companys operations are also affected by non-interest income, the provision for loan losses and non-interest expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy
costs, and other general and administrative expenses. In general, financial institutions such as the Company are significantly affected by economic conditions, competition, and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. Lending
activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing, competition among lenders, interest rate conditions, and funds availability. The Companys operations and lending activities are principally concentrated in Westchester County,
New York, and its operations and earnings are influenced by the economics of the area in which it operates. Deposit balances and cost of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates on competing investments, customer preferences, and levels of
personal income and savings in the Companys primary market area.
The Companys net interest income may be affected by market
interest rate changes. Local market conditions and liquidity needs of other financial institutions can have a dramatic impact on the interest rates offered to attract deposits. During portions of the last two fiscal years, changes in short-term
interest rates did not result in corresponding changes in long-term interest rates, and local market conditions resulted in relatively high certificate of deposit interest rates and lower interest rates on loans. The effect of this interest rate
environment did, and could in the future, continue to decrease the Companys ability to invest deposits and reinvest proceeds from loan and investment repayments at higher interest rates. During portions of the past two fiscal years, the
Companys cost of funds did not change proportionally to its yield on loans and investments, due to the longer-term nature of its interest-earning assets, the yield curve environment and higher interest rates on deposits resulting from
liquidity needs of other financial institutions.
In order to grow and diversify, the Company seeks to continue to increase its multi-family,
non-residential, construction, home equity and commercial loans by targeting these markets in Westchester County and the surrounding areas as a means to increase the yield on and diversify its loan portfolio, build transactional deposit account
relationships and, depending on market conditions, sell the fixed-rate residential real estate loan originations to a third party in order to diversify its loan portfolio, increase non-interest income and reduce interest rate risk.
To the extent the Company increases its investment in construction or development, consumer and commercial loans, which are considered greater risks than
one-to-four-family residential loans, the Companys provision for loan losses may increase to reflect this increased risk, which could cause a reduction in the Companys income.
Business Strategy
The Company seeks to
differentiate itself from its competition by providing superior, highly personalized and prompt service, local decision making and competitive fees and rates to its customers. Historically, the Bank has been a community-oriented retail savings bank
offering residential mortgage loans and traditional deposit products and, to a lesser extent, commercial real estate, small business and consumer loans in Westchester County and the surrounding areas. The Company has adopted a strategic plan that
focuses on growth in the loan portfolio into higher yield multi-family, non-residential, construction and commercial loan markets. The Companys strategic plan also calls for increasing deposit relationships and broadening its product lines and
services. The Company believes that this business strategy is best for its long-term success and viability, and complements its existing commitment to high quality customer service.
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
On July 21, 2010, the President signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act or
Act) into law. Among other things, the Act dramatically impacts the rules governing the provision of consumer financial products and services, and implementation of the Act will require new mandatory and discretionary
18
rulemakings by numerous federal regulatory agencies over the next several years. The new law significantly affects the operations of federal savings associations (including federal savings banks)
and their holding companies as, among other things, the Act: (1) abolishes our primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), effective 90 days after the transfer of the OTSs supervisory and other functions
to the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC); (2) creates the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, a new
independent consumer watchdog agency housed within the FRB that will have primary rulemaking authority with respect to all federal consumer financial laws; (3) requires that formal capital requirements be imposed on savings and loan holding
companies generally commencing July 2015; (4) codifies the source of strength doctrine for all depository institution holding companies; (5) grants to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, FDIC and the FRB broad new powers to
seize, close and wind down too big to fail financial (including non-bank) institutions in an orderly fashion; (6) establishes a new Financial Stability Oversight Council that is charged with identifying and responding to emerging
risks throughout the financial system, composed primarily of federal financial services regulators and chaired by the Secretary of the Treasury Department; (7) adopts new standards and rules for the mortgage industry; (8) adopts new bank,
thrift and holding company regulation; (9) permanently increases the standard maximum deposit insurance limit to $250,000 per depositor, per institution for each account ownership category; (10) temporarily provides for unlimited deposit
insurance coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts; (11) repeals the long-standing statutory prohibition on the payment of interest on demand deposits; (12) adopts new federal regulation of the derivatives market;
(13) adopts the so-called Volcker Rule, substantially restricting proprietary trading by depository institutions and their holding companies; (14) imposes requirements for funeral plans by large, complex financial companies;
(15) establishes new regulation of the asset securitization market through skin in the game and enhanced disclosure requirements; (16) establishes new regulation of interchange fees; (17) establishes new and enhanced
compensation and corporate governance oversight for the financial services industry; (18) provides enhanced oversight of municipal securities; (19) provides a specific framework for payment, clearing and settlement regulation;
(20) tasks the federal banking agencies with adopting new and enhanced capital standards for all depository institutions; and (21) significantly narrows the scope of federal preemption for national banks and federal savings associations.
The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the Act on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects
and expect that some provisions of the Act may have adverse effects on us, such as the cost of complying with the numerous new regulations and reporting requirements mandated by the Act.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2010 to September 30, 2009
Total assets decreased by $598,000, or 0.2%, to $242.6 million at June 30, 2010 from $243.2 million at September 30, 2009. Proceeds from the
sale and call of securities were used to fund increases in loans and declines in retail deposits in the nine months ended June 30, 2010. In the nine months ended June 30, 2010, securities decreased by $12.0 million as a result of the need
to fund loan increases, loans originated for resale and retail deposit decreases. Securities consist principally of notes, bonds and mortgage-backed securities of the U.S. Government and U.S. Government Agencies.
Loans receivable were $178.8 million and $169.3 million at June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively, representing an increase of $9.5
million, or 5.6%. The increase in loans resulted principally from a $10.2 million increase in non-residential real estate mortgage loans and to a lesser degree, additions to the multi-family and secured commercial loan portfolios, offset in part by
normal amortization and prepayments of one-to-four-family mortgages.
Despite recent positive trends in the economy, the banking industry in
general has seen increases in loan delinquencies and defaults over the past two years, particularly in the subprime sector. The Company however has not experienced significant delinquencies or losses in its loan portfolio due primarily to its
conservative underwriting policies. As of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company had $1.7 million of non-performing loans which are in process of foreclosure, and are considered impaired and have been placed on non-accrual
status. The impaired loans resulted from general economic conditions, increased unemployment and the declines in the local real estate market. As of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was 0.46% and 0.44% of
loans outstanding, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, $85,000 was added to the allowance for loan losses and there were $2,000 of loans charged off and $1,000 of recoveries. Despite a weak economy nationally as well as in
our primary market area, there was no material shift in the loan portfolio, loss experience, or other factors affecting the Bank in the nine months ended June 30, 2010. As a result of the continuing challenging economic conditions in the
Companys primary market area $85,000 was added to the allowance for loan losses in the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
19
In the nine months ended June 30, 2010, the $822,000 increase in other assets related principally to
the required prepayment of FDIC insurance payments for the three year period ending December 31, 2012.
Deposits decreased by $1.1
million, or 0.6%, from $184.4 million as of September 30, 2009 to $183.3 million as of June 30, 2010. The decrease in deposits was funded principally from repayments and sales of securities. The decrease in deposits resulted from
withdrawals of promotional short-term certificate of deposits offered in conjunction with the opening of the Mount Kisco branch, principally during the quarter ended December 31, 2009, offset by increases in retail deposits and an $8.0 million
one way buy CDARS deposit during the three months ended June 30, 2010. The Company participates in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service, or CDARS network. Under this network, the Company can transfer deposits into the network (a
one way sell transaction), request that the network deposit funds at the Bank (a one way buy transaction), or deposit funds into the network and receive an equal amount of deposits from the network (a reciprocal transfer). The network provides the
Company with an investment vehicle in the case of a one way sell, a liquidity or funding source in the case of a one way buy and the ability to access additional FDIC insurance for customers in the case of a reciprocal transfer.
The increase in advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance represents the normal seasonal build up in these accounts due to the timing of
receipts and payments of taxes and insurance.
Stockholders equity increased $304,000 from September 30, 2009 to June 30, 2010
as a result of net income for the period and additions to equity resulting from accounting for stock based compensation and the ESOP and by a decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss.
20
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
General.
The Company recorded net income of $20,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of $119,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2009. The change primarily reflects a decrease in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expense.
Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields/Costs.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Companys average
balance sheets and reflects the average annual yield on interest-earning assets and average annual cost of interest-bearing liabilities, interest earned and interest paid for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing
annualized income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from daily balances over the periods indicated. The average
balances for loans are net of allowance for loan losses.

Interest Income.
Interest income of $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, was
$10,000 less than interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The minor decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decrease of $36,000 in interest income from securities, offset in part by a $29,000 increase in interest
income from loans.
Interest income from loans increased by $29,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2009. The increase was due to a $1.5 million, or 0.8%, increase in the average balance of loans to $177.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $175.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and a
two basis point increase in the average yield to 5.85% from 5.83%, reflecting loans made in the higher interest rate non-residential real estate mortgage loan category and lower loan prepayments resulting in lower deferred loan cost write offs. The
increase in average loan balances was principally due loans in the non-residential and multi-family mortgage loan categories, net of normal amortization and prepayments of one-to-four-family mortgages. In addition, mortgage loan balances declined as
a result of the decision to sell most conventional one-to-four-family residential mortgage originations into the secondary market to generate non-interest income and reduce interest rate risk. Higher loan volume increased interest income by $21,000
while the higher interest rates increased interest income by $8,000.
Interest income from securities decreased by $36,000 to $227,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 from $263,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in interest income from securities was attributable to lower yields on the securities portfolio which reduced interest income by
$134,000, offset in part by higher average balances which rose to $40.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $27.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in the securities portfolio yield was
due to an overall decline in market interest rates while the increase in the average balances of securities was due to funds from deposit inflows, including the CDARS deposit, which were invested in short to intermediate-term available-for-sale
securities, principally notes, bonds and mortgage-backed securities of the U.S. Government and U.S. Government Agencies.
Interest Expense.
Interest expense declined by $380,000, or 29.5%, to $909,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.3 million in the comparable 2009 period. Interest on demand deposits decreased $5,000 as a result of lower interest rates
paid on those deposits, offset in part by the impact of higher average balances. Interest on savings and clubs increased by $2,000 as a result of higher average balances in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the comparable 2009
period. The increase in interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits resulted from transfers from the certificate of deposit category to demand and savings accounts, and more competitive interest rates on money market accounts. Promotional
interest rates on certificates of deposit in connection with the opening of the Mount Kisco branch in 2009 initially resulted in significant growth in certificate of deposit balances. In late 2009 and early 2010, customers shifted a portion of those
certificates and other deposits to money market and savings accounts and withdrew a portion of these deposits. As a result, the average balance of certificates of deposit declined by $10.7 million to $87.6 million in the three months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to $98.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, while the interest rate on those deposits decreased from 3.04% in the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 1.68% in the comparable 2010 period. Interest
expense on certificates of deposit decreased by $74,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of lower average balances and lower interest rates which caused interest expense
on certificates of deposit to decrease by $304,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. Lower average balances of FHLB borrowings caused the interest expense on borrowed money to
decrease by $10,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the comparable 2009 period while higher rates more than offset the savings from lower balances.
Overall declines in market interest rates reduced the average interest rate on interest-bearing liabilities from 2.68% in the quarter ended June 30,
2009 to 1.86% in the comparable 2010 period. Of the $380,000 decrease in interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009, declines in certificates of deposit balances reduced
interest expense by $74,000, changes in volume of other interest bearing liabilities caused an increase in interest expense of $31,000 and lower interest rates caused a reduction in interest expense of $337,000.
22
Rate/Volume Analysis.
The following table analyzes the dollar amount of changes in interest income
and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It shows the amount of the change in interest income or expense caused by either changes in outstanding balances (volume) or changes in interest
rates. The effect of a change in volume is measured by applying the average rate during the first period to the volume change between the two periods. The effect of changes in rate is measured by applying the change in rate between the two periods
to the average volume during the first period. Changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the absolute value of the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Net Interest Income.
Net interest income increased $370,000, or 23.6%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2010 from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Lower yields on average interest-earning assets, net of higher average balances in the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2009 were more than offset by decreases in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities net of higher average deposit and borrowing balances.
Provision for Loan Losses.
The allowance for loan losses was $833,000, or 0.46% of gross loans outstanding, at June 30, 2010 compared to
$749,000, or 0.44% of gross loans outstanding, at September 30, 2009. The level of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates and ultimate losses may vary from these estimates. Management reviews the level of the allowance for loan
losses on a quarterly basis, at a minimum, and establishes the provision for loan losses based on the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, loss experience, economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectibility of the
loan portfolio. Management regularly evaluates various risk factors related to the loan portfolio, such as type of loan, underlying collateral and payment status, and the corresponding allowance allocation percentages. Based on that review, in the
three months ended June 30, 2010, $25,000 was added to the allowance for loan losses. As of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company had $1.7 million of non-performing loans which were in process of foreclosure, and were
considered impaired and have been placed on non-accrual status. The Bank has allocated the allowance for loan losses among categories of loan types as well as classification status at each period end.
23
Non-interest Income.
Non-interest income of $108,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 was
lower than the $184,000 in the comparable 2009 period primarily as a result of a $68,000 decrease in gains on loans originated for sale resulting from lower loan sales volume.
Non-interest Expenses.
Non-interest expenses were $2.0 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, representing an increase of $60,000, or 3.1%. Higher occupancy costs of $40,000 resulted principally from the new Mount Kisco branch which opened during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and higher repair costs at the Mount Vernon
branch. Professional fees were $75,000 higher in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. The three months ended June 30, 2009 includes credits to professional fees from the reimbursement
of legal fees from the insurance carrier in connection with the insurance company settlement of the suit brought by two former employees and the reimbursement of legal fees by the defined benefit pension plan, while the three months ended
June 30, 2010 includes higher professional fees as a result of higher corporate matter legal fees and higher internal and external audit fees associated with SOX compliance. FDIC insurance premiums in the three months ended June 30, 2010
were $73,000 lower than in the three months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of the FDIC special assessment of $110,000 in the three month period ended June 30, 2009, net of the impact of higher regular assessment rates and deposit balances
in the three months ended June 30, 2010. Directors fees increased by $10,000 in the three month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three month ended June 30, 2009 as a result of additional board members, more committee
meetings and a newly instituted annual retainer for the Chairman of the Board in the 2010 fiscal year.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit).
Income tax expense was $24,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a tax benefit of $46,000 in the comparable 2009 period. Income tax expense is recorded based on pretax income at the statutory rate for federal tax purposes
and the higher of the statutory rate or minimum tax rate for state purposes. The effective tax rate in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was different than the statutory rate as a result of providing for New York State minimum taxes
and certain non-deductible expenses.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
General.
The Company recorded net income of $87,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of $105,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 2009. The change in results primarily reflects an increase in net interest income and higher non-interest income, partially offset by an increase non-interest expense.
In April 2009, the Company opened a new branch in Mount Kisco, New York. This new branch resulted in operating expense increases. Until deposits and the
investment of these deposits in interest-earning assets at this new branch reach a sufficient level, this new branch is likely to have a negative impact on earnings. In the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, direct operating expenses of
the Mount Kisco branch were $398,000 and $176,000, respectively.

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields/Costs.
The following table sets forth certain
information relating to the Companys average balance sheets and reflects the average annual yield on interest-earning assets and average annual cost of interest-bearing liabilities, interest earned and interest paid for the periods indicated.
Such yields and costs are derived by dividing annualized income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from daily balances
over the periods indicated. The average balances for loans are net of allowance for loan losses.

Interest Income.
Interest income of $8.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, was $51,000 less than interest income for the nine
months ended June 30, 2009. The minor decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decrease of $348,000 in interest income from loans, offset in part by a $297,000 increase in interest income from securities and other interest-earning
assets.
25
Interest income from loans decreased by $348,000 to $7.6 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2010 from $8.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was due to a $6.5 million, or 3.6%, decrease in the average balance of loans to $173.6 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from $180.1 million in the
nine months ended June 30, 2009, and by an 5 basis point decrease in the average yield to 5.84% from 5.89%, reflecting lower market rates and the prepayment of loans with higher than market interest rates. The decrease in average loan balances
was principally due to normal amortization and prepayments of loan balances and from the decision to sell most conventional one-to-four-family residential mortgage originations into the secondary market, to generate non-interest income and reduce
interest rate risk. The decline in one-to-four-family mortgages was partially offset by increases in nonresidential property and multi-family mortgages, and secured commercial loans. Lower average loan balances decreased interest income by $282,000
while the lower interest rates reduced interest income by $66,000.
Interest income from securities increased by $244,000 to $767,000 for the
nine months ended June 30, 2010 from $523,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in interest income from securities was attributable to higher average balances, which increased interest income by $540,000, offset in part
by lower yields on the securities portfolio which reduced interest income by $296,000. The increase in the average balances of securities was due to funds from deposit inflows which were invested in short to intermediate-term available-for-sale
securities, principally notes, bonds and mortgage-backed securities of the U.S. Government and U.S. Government Agencies which caused the average balance of securities to increase by $26.7 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared
to the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Interest income on other interest-earning assets increased by $53,000, to $122,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $69,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2009 due to higher
dividends on FHLB stock and interest on loans originated for resale.
Interest Expense.
Interest expense decreased by $981,000, or
26.0%, to $2.8 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $3.8 million in the comparable 2009 period. Interest on demand deposits increased $41,000 as a result of higher average balances which caused a $148,000 increase in
interest expense, offset in part by lower interest rates paid on those deposits which decreased interest expense by $107,000. Interest on savings and clubs increased by $9,000 as a result of higher average balances in the nine months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to the comparable 2009 period. The increase in interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits resulted from transfers from the certificate of deposit category to demand and savings accounts, and more competitive
interest rates on money market accounts. Promotional interest rates on certificates of deposit in connection with the opening of the Mount Kisco branch in 2009 initially resulted in significant growth in certificate of deposit balances. In late 2009
and early 2010, customers shifted a portion of those certificates and other deposits to money market and savings accounts and withdrew a portion of these deposits. A promotional certificate of deposit program tied to demand deposit accounts and bill
pay services in April 2010 resulted in additional deposits, offsetting part of the previous deposit outflow. Overall, the average balance of certificates of deposit declined by $5.5 million to $83.1 million in the nine months ended June 30,
2010 compared to $88.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, while the interest rate on those deposits declined from 3.29% in the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to 1.85% in the comparable 2010 period. Interest expense on
certificates of deposit decreased by $128,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of lower average balances and lower interest rates caused interest expense on certificates of
deposit to decrease by $904,000 in the nine month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Higher average balances of FHLB borrowings caused the interest expense on borrowed money to increase by $82,000
in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the comparable 2009 period, while lower interest rates decreased interest expense by $81,000.
Overall declines in market interest rates reduced the average interest rate on interest-bearing liabilities from 2.84% in the nine months ended
June 30, 2009 to 1.92% in the comparable 2010 period. Of the $981,000 decrease in interest expense, growth in volume of interest-bearing liabilities caused the expense to increase by $111,000, which was more than offset by a decrease in
interest expense caused by lower interest rates of $1.1 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the comparable 2009 period.

Rate/Volume Analysis.
The following table analyzes the dollar amount of changes in interest income
and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It shows the amount of the change in interest income or expense caused by either changes in outstanding balances (volume) or changes in interest
rates. The effect of a change in volume is measured by applying the average rate during the first period to the volume change between the two periods. The effect of changes in rate is measured by applying the change in rate between the two periods
to the average volume during the first period. Changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the absolute value of the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Net Interest Income.
Net interest income increased $930,000, or 19.5%, to $5.7 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2010 from $4.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Lower yields on average interest-earning assets, net of higher average balances in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended
June 30, 2009 were more than offset by decreases in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, net of an increase in interest expense caused by higher average deposit and borrowing balances.
Provision for Loan Losses.
The allowance for loan losses was $833,000, or 0.46% of gross loans outstanding, at June 30, 2010 compared to
$749,000, or 0.44% of gross loans outstanding, at September 30, 2009. The level of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates and ultimate losses may vary from these estimates. Management reviews the level of the allowance for loan
losses on a quarterly basis, at a minimum, and establishes the provision for loan losses based on the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, loss experience, economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectibility of the
loan portfolio. Management regularly evaluates various risk factors related to the loan portfolio, such as type of loan, underlying collateral and payment status, and the corresponding allowance allocation percentages. Based on that review, in the
nine months ended June 30, 2010, $85,000 was added to the allowance for loan losses. As of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company had $1.7 million of non-performing loans which were in process of foreclosure, and were
considered impaired and have been placed on non-accrual status. The Bank has allocated the allowance for loan losses among categories of loan types as well as classification status at each period end.
27
Non-interest Income.
Non-interest income of $606,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was
higher than the $356,000 in the comparable 2009 period primarily as a result of $208,000 of gains on securities sold and a $53,000 increase in gains on sales of loans resulting from higher loan sales volume.
Non-interest Expenses.
Non-interest expenses were $6.1 million and $5.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, representing an increase of $830,000, or 15.9%. An increase of $225,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 in salaries and employee benefits resulted from additional staff for the new Mount Kisco branch, higher incentive
compensation and higher pension, medical plan and unemployment expense. Higher occupancy and equipment costs of $219,000 and $60,000, respectively, resulted principally from the new Mount Kisco branch which opened in 2009, higher maintenance and
repair costs and higher computer processing costs, including the cost of on-line banking and bill pay services. Professional fees were $192,000 higher in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2009.
The nine months ended June 30, 2009 includes credits to professional fees from the reimbursement of legal fees from the insurance carrier in connection with the insurance company settlement of the suit brought by two former employees and the
reimbursement of legal fees by the defined benefit pension plan, while the nine months ended June 30, 2010 include higher corporate matter legal fees and higher internal and external audit fees associated with SOX compliance. FDIC insurance
premiums in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 were $41,000 higher than in the nine months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of higher regular assessment rates and the impact of higher deposit balances. Directors fees increased by
$45,000 in the nine month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the nine month ended June 30, 2009 as a result of additional board members, more committee meetings and a newly instituted annual retainer for the Chairman of the Board in
the 2010 fiscal year. Other non-interest expense increased by $54,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the 2009 period as a result of costs associated with the Advisory Committee, OTS fees and other operating expenses.
Income Tax Expense.
Income tax expense was $89,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a benefit of $14,000 in the
comparable 2009 period. Income tax expense is recorded based on pretax income at the statutory rate for federal tax purposes and the higher of the statutory rate or minimum tax rate for state purposes. The effective tax rate in the nine months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009 was different than the statutory rate as a result of providing for New York State minimum taxes and certain non-deductible expenses.
Management of Market Risk
As a
financial institution, the Companys primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a significant portion of its assets and
liabilities. Fluctuations in interest rates will also affect the market value of interest-earning assets and liabilities, other than those which possess a short-term maturity. Interest rates are highly sensitive to factors that are beyond the
Companys control, including general economic conditions, inflation, changes in the slope of the interest rate yield curve, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and the regulatory policies of government authorities. The
Companys loan portfolio, concentrated in Westchester County is subject to the risks associated with the economic conditions prevailing in its market area.
The primary goals of the Companys interest rate management strategy are to determine the appropriate level of risk given the business strategy and
then manage that risk so as to reduce the exposure of the Companys net interest income to fluctuations in interest rates. Historically, the Companys lending activities have been dominated by one-to-four-family real estate mortgage loans.
The primary source of funds has been deposits and FHLB borrowings which have substantially shorter terms to maturity than the loan portfolio. As a result, the Company has employed certain strategies to manage the interest rate risk inherent in the
asset/liability mix, including but not limited to selling fixed rate one-to-four-family mortgage loan originations, emphasizing investments with short- and intermediate-term maturities of less than five years and borrowing term funds from FHLB.
In addition, the actual amount of time before mortgage loans are repaid can be significantly impacted by changes in mortgage prepayment rates
and market interest rates. Mortgage prepayment rates will vary due to a number of factors, including the regional economy in the area where the underlying mortgages were originated, seasonal factors, demographic variables and the assumability of the
underlying mortgages. However, the major factors affecting prepayment rates are prevailing interest rates, related mortgage refinancing opportunities and competition. The Company monitors interest rate sensitivity so that it can make adjustments to
its asset and liability mix on a timely basis.
28
Net Interest Income at Risk
The Company uses a simulation model to monitor interest rate risk. This model reports the net interest income and net economic value at risk under
different interest rate environments. Specifically, an analysis is performed of changes in net interest income assuming changes in interest rates, both up and down, from current rates over the three year period following the current financial
statements. The changes in interest income and interest expense due to changes in interest rates reflect the interest sensitivity of the Companys interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
The table below sets forth the latest available estimated changes in net interest income, as of March 31, 2010, that would result from various basis
point changes in interest rates over a twelve month period.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources
The Company is required to maintain levels of liquid assets sufficient to ensure the Companys safe and sound operation.
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Company adjusts its liquidity levels in order to meet funding needs for deposit outflows, payment of real estate taxes from escrow accounts on
mortgage loans, repayment of borrowings and loan funding commitments. The Company also adjusts its liquidity level as appropriate to meet its asset/liability objectives.
The Companys primary sources of funds are deposits, the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service, or CDARS network, brokered
certificates of deposit, amortization and prepayments of loans, FHLB advances, repayments and maturities of investment securities and funds provided from operations. While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed securities amortization and maturing
investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flow and loan and mortgage-backed securities repayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Companys liquidity,
represented by cash and cash equivalents and investment securities, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally
invested in short-term investments, such as federal funds and other interest-earning assets. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, the Company can acquire brokered certificates of deposit, CDARS deposits and
borrowing agreements which exist with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve which provide an additional source of funds. At June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company had $34.6 million and $34.7 million of advances from the FHLB
outstanding, respectively. At June 30, 2010, the Company had $8.5 million of CDARS deposits. The Company had no CDARS deposits at September 30, 2009 and had no brokered deposits at June 30, 2010 or September 30, 2009.
In the nine months ended June 30, 2010, net cash used by operating activities was $1.8 million, compared to net cash used by operating activities of
$1.9 million in the same period in 2009. In the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, net income included non-cash expenses (consisting of depreciation, amortization, provision for loan losses, deferred taxes and stock-based compensation)
of $621,000 and $753,000, respectively. Loans originated for resale, net of proceeds from loans sold used $1.1 million and $1.8 million of cash in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In order to reduce sensitivity to
interest rate risk, provide for additional liquidity and enhance non-interest income, the Company began selling most of its one-to-four-family loan originations in late 2008. The increase in other assets in the nine month period ended June 30,
2010 resulted principally from to the required prepayment of FDIC insurance premiums for the three year period ending December 31, 2012.
29
In the nine months ended June 30, 2010, investing activities provided $2.4 million of cash, compared to
using $31.0 million of cash in the same period in 2009. In the nine months ended June 30, 2010, sales of securities, along with maturities, calls and repayments, net of purchases, provided $12.2 million of cash and a net increase in loans used
$9.7 million of cash. During the nine month period ended June 30, 2010, proceeds from sales of securities held to maturity totaled $163,000, including gross gains of $9,000. The securities sold consisted of mortgaged-backed securities on which
the Company had already collected more than eighty five percent of the principal outstanding at the sale date. There were no sales of securities held to maturity during the nine month period ended June 30, 2009. In the nine months ended
June 30, 2009, net securities investment activities used $40.1 million of cash and a net decrease in loans provided $9.4 million of cash.
Net cash used by financing activities was $409,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to net cash provided from financing activities of
$37.3 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. In the nine months ended June 30, 2010, changes in deposit balances used $1.1 million of cash, while providing $53.7 million of cash in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Net
repayments of borrowings from FHLB used $110,000 and $16.0 million of cash in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the purchase of treasury stock used $590,000 of cash.
On November 12, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule that required insured depository institutions to prepay their quarterly risk-based
assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012, on December 30, 2009, along with each institutions risk-based deposit insurance assessment for the third quarter of 2009. For purposes of calculating the
prepaid amount, the base assessment rate in effect at September 30, 2009 was used for 2010. That rate was increased by an annualized 3 basis points for 2011 and 2012 assessments. The prepayment calculation also assumes a 5 percent annual
deposit growth rate, increased quarterly, through the end of 2012. Under the final rule, an institution accounts for the prepayment by recording the entire amount of its prepaid assessment as a prepaid expense (an asset) as of December 30,
2009. Subsequently, each institution will record an expense (charge to earnings) for its regular quarterly assessment and an offsetting credit to the prepaid assessment until the asset is exhausted. Once the asset is exhausted, the institution will
resume paying and accounting for quarterly deposit insurance assessments as they do currently. Under the final rule, the FDIC stated that its requirement for prepaid assessments does not preclude the FDIC from changing assessment rates or from
further revising the risk-based assessment system during 2010, 2011, 2012, or thereafter, pursuant to notice-and-comment rulemaking procedures provided by statute, and therefore, continued actions by the FDIC could significantly increase the
Banks noninterest expense in fiscal 2010 and for the foreseeable future. Additional FDIC special assessments or other regulatory changes impacting the financial services industry could negatively effect the Companys liquidity and
financial results in future periods.
The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan and other
commitments. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7.5 million and available for sale securities of $46.6 million. At June 30, 2010, the Company has outstanding commitments to originate loans of $4.6 million
and $11.2 million of undisbursed funds from approved lines of credit, principally under a homeowners equity line of credit lending program. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 2010, totaled $72.2
million. Management believes that, based upon its experience and the Companys deposit flow history, a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Company.
On April 17, 2008 and September 25, 2008, the Companys Board of Directors approved stock buy back plans that authorized the Company to
buy back up to 98,647 and 93,715 shares of the outstanding stock of the Company, respectively. The buy backs were administered as 10(b)5-1 plans by Stifel Nicolaus, the Companys investment banker. Through September 30, 2009, 98,647 shares
of the Companys common stock had been purchased for $999,000 under the first plan and 93,715 shares of common stock had been repurchased for $661,000 under the second plan. During the nine month period ended June 30, 2010, no shares of
common stock were repurchased.
30
The Company has an overnight line of credit and a one month overnight repricing line of credit commitment
with the FHLB of NY totaling $28.5 million, which expire on September 3, 2010, neither of which was drawn at June 30, 2010. The Companys overall credit exposure at the FHLB of NY cannot exceed 50% of its total assets, subject to
certain limitations based on the underlying loan and securities pledged as collateral.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable to Smaller Reporting Companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the Companys most recent fiscal
quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Part II: Other Information
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under Part IItem
1ARisk Factors in our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009, as supplemented and updated by the discussion below. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of
operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
The full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on the operations of the Bank and Company are currently unknown given that much of the details and substance
of the new laws will be determined through agency rulemaking.
The compliance burden and impact on the operations and profitability of the Bank and Company with respect to the Dodd-Frank Act are currently unknown, as the Dodd-Frank Act
delegates to various federal agencies the task of implementing its many provisions through regulation. Hundreds of new federal regulations, studies and reports addressing all of the major areas of the new law, including the regulation of federal
savings associations and their holding companies, will be required, ensuring that federal rules and policies in this area will be further developing for months and years to come. Based on the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and anticipated
implementing regulations, it is highly likely that banks and thrifts as well as their holding companies will be subject to significantly increased regulation and compliance obligations.
The elimination of the OTS and transfer of the OTSs supervisory and rulemaking functions to various federal banking agencies will change the
way that the Bank and Company are regulated.
As the OTS is due to be abolished 90 days after transferring its supervisory and rulemaking functions to various federal agencies, both the Bank and Company will be transitioning to the
jurisdiction of new primary federal regulators, which will change the way that the Bank and Company are regulated. Specifically, the OTSs supervisory and rulemaking functions (except for consumer protection) relating to all federal savings
associations will be transferred to the OCC, while the OTSs supervisory and rulemaking functions relating to savings and loan holding companies and their non-depository institution subsidiaries (excluding subsidiaries of the federal savings
association) will be transferred to the FRB. While the OCC and FRB are directed to implement existing OTS regulations, orders, resolutions, determinations and agreements for thrifts and their holding companies under the Home Owners Loan Act
(HOLA), the transition of supervisory functions from the OTS to the OCC (with respect to the Bank) and the FRB (with respect to the Company), could alter the operations of the Bank and Company so as to be more closely aligned with the
OCCs and FRBs respective supervision of national banks and bank holding companies. While the functions of the OTS pertaining to the Bank and Company will formally be transferred to the OCC and FRB in July 2011 (or else by January 2012 if
a six-month extension is required), the Bank and the may see changes in the way they are supervised and examined sooner, and may experience operational challenges in the course of transition to their new regulators.
The new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (BCFP) may reshape the consumer financial laws through rulemaking and enforcement of
unfair, deceptive or abusive practices, which may directly impact the business operations of depository institutions offering consumer financial products or services including the Bank.
The BCFP has broad rulemaking authority to administer
and carry out the purposes and objectives of the Federal consumer financial laws, and to prevent evasions thereof, with respect to all financial institutions that offer financial products and services to consumers. The BCFP is also
authorized to prescribe rules applicable to any covered person or service provider identifying and prohibiting acts or practices that are unfair, deceptive, or abusive in connection with any transaction with a consumer for a consumer
financial product or service, or the offering of a consumer financial product or service (UDAP authority). The potential reach of the BCFPs broad new rulemaking powers and UDAP authority on the operations of financial institutions
offering consumer financial products or services including the Bank is currently unknown.
