Note 1 – Financial Statement Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
 
 
Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
On May 19, 2008 Malvern Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”) completed its reorganization to a mid-tier holding company structure and the sale by the mid-tier company, Malvern Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) of shares of its common stock.  In the reorganization and offering, the Company sold 2,645,575 shares of common stock to certain members of the Bank and the public at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, issued 3,3383,875 shares to Malvern Federal Mutual Holding Company and contributed 123,050 shares to the Malvern Federal Charitable Foundation.  The offering resulted in approximately $25.9 million in net proceeds.  Financial Statements prior to the reorganization are the financial statements of the Bank.
 
As a result of the reorganization and offering, Malvern Federal Mutual Holding Company (the “Holding Company”) owns 55% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, the charitable foundation owns 2% and the minority public stockholders own the remaining 43%.  The Holding Company is a federally chartered mutual holding company.  The Holding Company and the Company are subject to regulation and supervision of the Office of Thrift Supervision.
 
The Bank is a community oriented savings bank headquartered in Paoli, Pennsylvania.  The Bank operates a total of seven banking offices located throughout Chester County, Pennsylvania.  The Bank’s primary business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds, together with borrowed funds, to originate loans to its customers and invest in securities such as United States (“U.S.”) Government and agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal obligations.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Malvern Federal Bancorp, Inc. include the accounts of the Bank and the Company.  The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  All insignificant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
 The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The statement of financial condition at September 30, 2007, has been derived from audited financial statements but does not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments or accruals, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements, have been included.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2008 or any other period.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been included. For comparative purposes, prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current year. The reclassifications had no effect on net income.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Bank and the accompanying notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2007, included in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 19, 2007, which was declared effective by the SEC on February 11, 2008 (File No. 333-148169).  Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement, which reflected a revised offering range, was filed with the SEC on April 3, 2008 and declared effective on April 8, 2008.

Note 1 – Financial Statement Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
 
The consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of Malvern Federal Bancorp Inc., Malvern Federal Savings Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Strategic Asset Management Group, Inc. (SAM).  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, and the evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan
 
The Company has established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for the benefit of employees who meet the eligibility requirement as defined in the ESOP.  As of June 30, 2008, 241,178 shares of the Company’s common stock had been committed to be purchased by the ESOP.  As of June 30, 2008, the Bank purchased 90,778 shares of common using proceeds of a loan from the Company for $996,176.  The Bank will make quarterly payments of principal and interest over a term of 18 years at rate of 5% to the Company.  Shares of the Company’s common stock purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account until released for allocation to participants.  Shares released will be allocated to each eligible participant based on the ratio of each such participant’s compensation, as defined in the ESOP, to the total compensation of all eligible plan participants.  As the unearned shares are released from suspense, the Company will recognize compensation expense equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they become committed to be released.  To the extent that the fair value of the ESOP shares released differs from the cost of such shares, the difference is charged or credited to equity as additional paid-in-capital.

Earnings Per Share
 
Earnings per share (“EPS”) consists of two separate components, basic ESP and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented.  Diluted EPS will be calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive common stock equivalents (“CSEs”).  At June 30, 2008 there were no common stock equivalents.  Due to the timing of the Bank’s reorganization into the mutual holding company form and the completion of the Company’s initial public offering on May 19, 2008, earnings per share for the period from May 19, 2008 to June 30, 2008 is not considered meaningful and is not shown.

Segment Information
 
The Company has one reportable segment, “Community Banking.”  All of the Company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent and assessed based on how each of the activities of the Company supports the others.  For example, lending is dependent upon the ability of the Company to fund itself with deposits and other borrowings and manage interest rate and credit risk.  Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company as one segment or unit.

Comprehensive Income
 
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income.  Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale investment securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the statement of financial condition, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income (loss).

The components of other comprehensive income (loss) and related tax effects are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
FASB Statement No. 141(R)
 
FASB Statement No. 141 (R) “Business Combinations,” was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The Statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. This new pronouncement will impact the Company’s accounting for business combinations completed after October 1, 2009.

FASB Statement No. 160
 
 
FASB Statement No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51,” was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 
SAB 109
 
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109 (SAB 109), "Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings," expresses the views of the staff regarding written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings under generally accepted accounting principles. To make the staff's views consistent with current authoritative accounting guidance, the SAB revises and rescinds portions of SAB No. 105, "Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments."  Specifically, the SAB revises the SEC staff's views on incorporating expected net future cash flows related to loan servicing activities in the fair value measurement of a written loan commitment. The SAB retains the staff's views on incorporating expected net future cash flows related to internally-developed intangible assets in the fair value measurement of a written loan commitment. The staff expects registrants to apply the views in Question 1 of SAB 109 on a prospective basis to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company adopted Statement SAB 109 on April 1, 2008, SAB 109 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

FASB Statement No. 157
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  FASB Statement No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.  The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company  is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FASB Statement No. 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
FSP 157-2
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” that permits a one-year deferral in applying the measurement provisions of Statement No. 157 to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities (non-financial items) that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Therefore, if the change in fair value of a non-financial item is not required to be recognized or disclosed in the financial statements on an annual basis or more frequently, the effective date of application of Statement 157 to that item is deferred until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect FSP 157-2 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

FASB Statement No. 159
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”.   SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company on October 1, 2008.  The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

EITF 06-10
 
In March 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-10, “Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements” (EITF 06-10).  EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the associated asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment agreement.  EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 06-10 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

EITF 06-5
 
In September 7, 2006, the EITF reached a conclusion on EITF Issue No. 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance – Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance” (“EITF 06-5”).  The scope of EITF 06-5 consists of six separate issues relating to accounting for life insurance policies purchased by entities protecting against the loss of “key persons.”  The six issues are clarifications of previously issued guidance on FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4.  EITF 06-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of EITF 06-5 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition or results of operations.

EITF 06-4
 
In September 2006, FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF in Issue 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements.  EITF 06-4 applies to life insurance arrangements that provide an employee with a specified benefit that is not limited to the employee’s active service period, including certain bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) policies.  EITF 06-4 requires an employer to recognize a liability and related compensation costs for future benefits that extend to postretirement periods.   EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2007, with earlier application permitted.  The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this consensus, which may require it to recognize an additional liability and compensation expense related to its BOLI policies.

FASB Statement No. 162
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements.  This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s loan portfolio is comprised primarily of mortgage loans secured by real estate.  A substantial portion of these loans, as well as most other loan types, are to borrowers who live in the vicinity of Chester County, Pennsylvania.  While the Company attempts to limit its exposure to downturns in the real estate market through various underwriting techniques, it remains heavily dependent on the condition of the local economy.

Included in loans receivable are nonaccrual loans past due 90 days or more in the amount of $6.7 million and $2.3 million, at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively.  Interest income that would have been recognized on these nonaccrual loans had they been current in accordance with their original terms is $349,000 and $118,000, in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended September 30, 2007, respectively.  
 
As of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, the Company had impaired loans under SFAS No. 114 “Accounting by Creditors for Impairments of a Loan” with a total recorded investment of $3.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively.  The allowance for loan losses related to these loans as of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 was $872,000 and $875,000, respectively.  The average recorded investment in impaired loans for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended September 30, 2007 was $3.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively.  The Company recognizes income on impaired loans on a cash basis when the loan is current and the collateral is sufficient to cover the outstanding obligation to the Company.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended September 30, 2007, cash collected and recognized as interest income on impaired loans was $22,000 and $47,000, respectively.
 
No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans.

Note 4 - Regulatory Matters
 
 
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt correction action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of tangible and core capital (as defined in the regulations) to total adjusted assets (as defined) and of risk-based capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of June 30, 2008, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of June 30, 2008, the most recent notification from the regulators categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum tangible, core, and risk-based ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table:

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

Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to Malvern Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and Malvern Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”)  that are based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management.  In addition, in portions of this document the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “should” and similar expressions, or the negative thereof, as they relate to the Company or the Bank or their management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements reflect the current views of the Company and/or the Bank with respect to forward-looking events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended.  The Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

General
 
Malvern Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Pennsylvania corporation, which was organized to be the mid-tier holding company for Malvern Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”), which is a federally-chartered stock-form savings bank.  The Company was organized in connection with the Bank’s reorganization from the mutual savings bank to a mutual holding company structure in May 2008.  Financial Statements prior to the reorganization were the financial statements of the Bank.  The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependent on the results of the Bank, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  The Company’s results of operations depend, to a large extent, on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and investment portfolios and the cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings.  Results of operations are also affected by provisions for loan losses, fee income and other non-interest income and non-interest expense.  Non-interest expense principally consists of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, advertising and business promotion and other expense.  Our results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.  Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may materially impact our financial condition and results of operations.  The Bank’s main office is in Paoli, Pennsylvania, with seven banking offices located throughout Chester County, Pennsylvania.  The Bank’s primary business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds together with borrowings to originate loans and to invest primarily in U.S. Government and agency securities and mortgage-backed securities.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
In reviewing and understanding financial information for the Company, you are encouraged to read and understand the significant accounting policies used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.  These policies are described in Note 1 of the notes to our unaudited financial statements included elsewhere herein.  The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements require certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. The following accounting policies comprise those that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.  These policies require numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to variations which may affect our reported results and financial condition for the period or in future periods.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that represents the amount of probable and reasonably estimable known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the types and amount of loans in the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, and current economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including, among others, exposure at default, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impacted loans, value of collateral, estimated losses on our loan portfolio and general amounts for historical loss experience.  All of these estimates may be susceptible to significant change.
 
19

 
While management uses the best information available to make loan loss allowance evaluations, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions or changes in accounting guidance. Historically, our estimates of the allowance for loan losses have not required significant adjustments from management’s initial estimates. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination processes, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. The Office of Thrift Supervision may require the recognition of adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examinations. To the extent that actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.

Income Taxes.  We make estimates and judgments to calculate some of our tax liabilities and determine the recoverability of some of our deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenues and expenses.  We also estimate a reserve for deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. These estimates and judgments are inherently subjective.  Historically, our estimates and judgments to calculate our deferred tax accounts have not required significant revision to our initial estimates.

In evaluating our ability to recover deferred tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including our past operating results and our forecast of future taxable income.  In determining future taxable income, we make assumptions for the amount of taxable income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies.  These assumptions require us to make judgments about our future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we use to manage our business.  Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.  An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Securities – Securities are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when market conditions warrant such an evaluation, to determine whether a decline in their value is other-than-temporary.  To determine whether a loss in value is other-than-temporary, management utilizes criteria such as the reasons underlying the decline, the magnitude and duration of the decline and our intent and ability to retain our investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in the fair value.  The term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value is not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment.  Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007
 
 
Total assets of the Company amounted to $605.5 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $551.9 million at September 30, 2007, an increase of $53.6 million or 9.7%.  Our net loans receivable increased by $75.0 million, or 16.09%, to $541.2 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $466.2 million at September 30, 2007.  We continued to see moderately strong demand for new loan originations in the first nine months of fiscal 2008.  Total investment securities (available for sale and held to maturity) decreased $4.8 million, or 15.6%, from September 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008.  The decrease in investment securities during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was due to normal amortization and re-payments, $15.1 million in maturities and the fact that we only purchased $10.6 million in additional securities during the period.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased $6.2 million, or 21.3%, from September 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008.  The decrease in cash and cash equivalents primarily reflects the use of cash to fund loan demand and deposit outflows.

Our total deposits amounted to $438.2 million at June 30, 2008, a $4.7 million, or 1.09%, increase from total deposits at September 30, 2007.  The change in deposits was due primarily to a $5.5 million increase in non-interest bearing deposits.   The increase was reduced slightly by a $798,000 decrease in interest bearing deposits.  Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (the "FHLB") amounted to $91.9 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $71.4 million at September 30, 2007.  As of June 30, 2008, FHLB lines of credit increased by $3.0 million compared to September 30, 2007 and FHLB advances increased by $17.5 million.   We use FHLB borrowings as an additional source of funds to support our loan growth.  Our shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2008 amounted to $69.9 million, a $25.9 million increase compared to total equity of $44.0 million at September 30, 2007.  The increase in shareholders’ equity was due to the $26.0 million in net proceeds raised in the Company’s recently completed initial stock offering.  The Company issued 2,645,575 shares of common stock representing 43% of total outstanding shares of the Company to subscribers in the stock offering.  Malvern Federal Mutual Holding Company, the Company’s parent mutual holding company, was issued 55% of the outstanding shares, or 3,383,875 shares.  The remaining 2% or 123,050 shares were contributed to the Malvern Federal Charitable Foundation, a charitable foundation organized by the Bank as a part of the reorganization (“Charitable Foundation”).  Retained earnings increased by $874,000 to $45.2 million as a result of net income for the first nine months of the fiscal 2008.  Our ratio of equity to assets was 11.54% at June 30, 2008.

At June 30, 2008, our total non-performing assets amounted to $6.8 million, or 1.1% of total assets, compared to $6.3 million in non-performing assets at March 31, 2008, constituting 1.1% of total assets at such date, and $2.6 million, or 0.47% of total assets, at September 30, 2007.  The $4.2 million increase in non-performing assets during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was due primarily to a $3.5 million mixed-use commercial real estate loan becoming non-accrual/non-performing during the first quarter of fiscal 2008.  At September 30, 2007, this loan was more than 60 days but less than 90 days delinquent.  Management classified this loan as “substandard” and impaired in September 2007 and received an updated appraisal on the property securing the loan. Based on the appraisal report, we increased our allowance for loan losses by $852,000 during fiscal 2007, reflecting the revised appraised value of the loan and anticipated costs of sale.  We have commenced foreclosure proceedings and anticipate no additional losses with respect to this loan.  We intend to pursue all available remedies to protect our position.  At June 30, 2008, our allowance for loan losses was 70.4% of non-performing loans and 0.88% of total loans.

Comparison of Our Operating Results for the Three and Nine months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
 
General. Our net loss was $63,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to net income of $805,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  The primary reasons for the $868,000 decrease in net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were increases in other expenses of $1.4 million and in the provision for loan losses of $406,000, which were partially offset by a $275,000 increase in net interest income, a $136,000 increase in other income and a $563,000 reduction in income tax expense.  The increase in other expenses was the result of a $1.2 million contribution to the Charitable Foundation, which was created in connection with the Bank’s mutual holding company reorganization.  Like most financial institutions, we continue to experience the effects of interest rate compression on our results of operations.  Our interest rate spread and net interest margin were 2.18% and 2.65%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to 2.30% and 2.71% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, our net income was $874,000 compared to $2.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.  Again, the primary reasons for the decline in net income during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007 were higher provisions for loan losses and increases in other expenses in the fiscal 2008 period primarily related to the contribution to the Foundation.

Average Balances, Net Interest Income, and Yields Earned and Rates Paid.  The following tables show for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin.  Tax-exempt income and yields have not been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis.  All average balances are based on monthly balances. Management does not believe that the monthly averages differ significantly from what the daily averages would be.

        The following tables present the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the indicated periods. It distinguishes between the increase related to higher outstanding balances and that due to the unprecedented levels and volatility of interest rates.  For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume).  For purposes of these tables, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Interest Income.  Our total interest and dividend income was $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.  Interest and dividend income increased slightly, as a result of  a $311,000 increase in interest earned on loans which was partially offset by a $250,000 decrease in interest earned on other investments.  The increase in interest income earned on loans in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was due to a $64.6 million, or 13.9%, increase in the average balance of our loan portfolio. The average balance of our investment securities declined by $13.2 million, or 39.3%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007, reflecting in part, the relatively strong demand for new loan originations in the fiscal 2008 period.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, our total interest and dividend income was $24.8 million compared to $24.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $414,000, or 1.7%. During the first nine months of fiscal 2008, the primary reason for the increase in interest income was higher interest earned on our loan portfolio in the fiscal 2008 period.  Interest earned on loans increased by $853,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2007 due primarily to a $44.4 million, or 9.6%, increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio.  The average yield on our total interest-earning assets was 5.89% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 6.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2007.   The average yield on our total interest-earning assets was 6.12% for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 6.41% for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.

Interest Expense.  Our total interest expense was $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  The $262,000 decrease in the fiscal 2008 period was due to $416,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits , which was partially offset by an $8,000 increase in expense on short-term FHLB advances, and a $146,000 increase in expenses on FHLB advances.  The increases in interest expense on FHLB advances and short-term borrowings primarily reflect an increase of the average balances of such liabilities in the fiscal 2008 period, reflecting our increased use of borrowings as a source of funds for new loan originations.  The decrease in our deposit expense in the fiscal 2008 period was primarily due to the rates decreasing from 3.97% in June 30, 2007 to 2.54% on June 30, 2008 in our money market accounts. The average rate paid on our total interest-bearing liabilities was 3.71% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 4.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, our total interest expense was $14.5 million, a $278,000, or 2.0%, increase over total interest expense of $14.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.  The increase in interest expense in the nine month period was due to an $85,000 increase in interest expense on short-term borrowings as a result of increases in the outstanding salaries/rates and $191,000 increase in interest expense on long-term borrowings as a result of increases in the outstanding salaries/rates.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2008 the average rate on deposits was 3.69% compared to 4.70% for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses.  We have identified the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses as a critical accounting policy where amounts are sensitive to material variation.  This policy is significantly affected by our judgment and uncertainties and there is likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different, but reasonably plausible, conditions or assumptions.  Our activity in the provision for loan losses is undertaken in order to maintain a level of total allowance for losses that management believes covers all known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at each reporting date. Our evaluation process typically includes, among other things, an analysis of delinquency trends, non-performing loan trends, the level of charge-offs and recoveries, prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the volume of loan originations, the type, size and geographic concentration of our loans, the value of collateral securing the loan, the borrower’s ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans requiring heightened management oversight, local economic conditions and industry experience.  The establishment of the allowance for loan losses is significantly affected by management judgment and uncertainties and there is likelihood that different amounts would be reported under different conditions or assumptions.  Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies may require us to make additional provisions for estimated loan losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

The provision for loan losses was $406,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to no provision for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  The Company had approximately $270,000 of net charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $61,000 of net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  During the three months ended June 30, 2008 our charge-offs included three commercial real estate loans with an aggregate carrying value of $94,000 and two residential second mortgages with an aggregate balances of $176,000.  While we have no sub-prime mortgage loans in our portfolio, the charge-offs during the three months ended June 30, 2008, reflect, in part, the softening of the economy.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, our provision for loan losses amounted to $869,000 compared to $168,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.  Net charge-offs amounted to $642,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $150,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.

We will continue to monitor and modify our allowances for loan losses as conditions dictate.  No assurances can be given that our level of allowance for loan losses will cover all of the inherent losses on our loans or that future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will not be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the economic and other conditions used by management to determine the current level of the allowance for loan losses.

Other Income.  Our total other, or non-interest, income was $469,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $334,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  The $136,000 increase in other income was due primarily to a $100,000 increase in service charges and other fees and a $32,000 increase in earnings on bank owned life insurance ("BOLI").

For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, total other income was $1.4 million, a $285,000 increase over total other income for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.  The primary reasons for the increase in other income in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 were a $100,000 increase in BOLI earnings, a $43,000 gain on mortgage loans sold in the fiscal 2008 period compared to no such gains in the fiscal 2007 period and a $126,000 increase in service charges and other fees.

Other Expenses.  Our total other, or non-interest, expenses were $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  The primary reasons for the $1.4 million increase in other expenses in the fiscal 2008 period were due to a $93,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits expenses, due primarily to an increase in the number of our employees as well as normal salary adjustments, a $44,000 increase in other operating expenses, due to increases in personnel agency fees, loan expenses, contributions, and amortization of mortgage servicing rights, and $1.2 million increase for the contribution to the Charitable Foundation.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, our total other expenses were $9.6 million, a $2.2  million, or 29.2%, increase over total other expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.  Again, the primary reasons for the increase in total other expenses in the nine month periods were increases in salaries and benefits expenses, other operating expenses and the contribution to the Foundation.

Income Tax Benefit/Expense.  Our income tax benefit was $101,000 for the three months ended  June 30, 2008 compared to $462,000 in expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  The change in tax expense for the third quarter in fiscal 2008 was due to the Company’s net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The loss primarily was the result of the non-recurring charge of $1.2 million for the contribution made to the Charitable Foundation.  Our effective tax rate was 61.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 36.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  The reason for the decrease of the effective tax rate from 2007 to 2008 was due the Company’s quarterly accrual of the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit and the donation to the Charitable Foundation.

Income tax expense was $335,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to $1.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007.  Again, the primary reason for the difference was the lower amount of pre-tax income in the fiscal 2008 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our primary sources of funds are from deposits, amortization of loans, loan prepayments and the maturity of loans, mortgage-backed securities and other investments, and other funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments can be greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  We also maintain excess funds in short-term, interest-bearing assets that provide additional liquidity.  At June 30, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $10.7 million.  In addition, at such date our available for sale investment securities amounted to $22.9 million.

We use our liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets, and to meet operating expenses.  At June 30, 2008, we had certificates of deposit maturing within the next 12 months amounting to $164.5 million. Based upon historical experience, we anticipate that a significant portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be redeposited with us.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, the average balance of our outstanding FHLB advances was $74.1 million.  At June 30, 2008, we had $80.9 million in outstanding FHLB advances and we had $215.5 million in FHLB advances available to us.  In addition, at June 30, 2008, we had a $50.0 million in line of credit with the FHLB, of which we had $11.0 million outstanding at such date and $39.0 million was available.
 
30

 
In addition to cash flow from loan and securities payments and prepayments as well as from sales of available for sale securities, we have significant borrowing capacity available to fund liquidity needs.  In recent years we have utilized borrowings as a cost efficient addition to deposits as a source of funds.  Our borrowings consist primarily of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, of which we are a member.  Under terms of the collateral agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank, we pledge residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities as well as our stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank as collateral for such advances.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
 
The financial statements, accompanying notes, and related financial data of the Company presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.  The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of operations. Most of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature; therefore, the impact of interest rates has a greater impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

For a discussion of the Company’s asset and liability management policies as well as the methods used to manage its exposure to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates market, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – How We Manage Market Risk” in the Company’s prospectus dated February 11, 2008.  There has been no material change in the Company’s asset and liability position since September 30, 2007.

Item 4T - Controls and Procedures.
 
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on such evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and are operating in an effective manner.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
