Oritani Savings Bank

General

Oritani Savings Bank is a New Jersey-chartered savings bank headquartered in the Township of Washington, New Jersey. Oritani Savings Bank was originally founded in 1911, as a New Jersey building and loan association. Over the years, Oritani Savings Bank has expanded through internal growth as well as through a series of business combinations. In 1997, Oritani Savings Bank converted to a mutual savings bank charter, and in March 1998, reorganized into the two-tier mutual holding company structure. Oritani Savings Bank conducts business from its main office located at 370 Pascack Road, in the Township of Washington, New Jersey 07676, and its 18 branch offices located in the New Jersey Counties of Bergen, Hudson and Passaic. The telephone number at its main office is (201) 664-5400. At June 30, 2007, our assets totaled $1.17 billion and our deposits totaled $695.8 million.

Our principal business consists of attracting retail and commercial bank deposits from the general public in the areas surrounding our main office in the Township of Washington, New Jersey and our branch offices located in the New Jersey Counties of Bergen (14 branches, including our main office), Hudson (4 branches) and Passaic (one branch), and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, in multi-family and commercial real estate loans, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans as well as in second mortgage and equity loans, construction loans, business loans, other consumer loans, and investment securities. We originate loans primarily for investment and hold such loans in our portfolio. Occasionally, we will also enter into loan participations. Our revenues are derived principally from interest on loans and securities as well as our investments in real estate and real estate joint ventures. We also generate revenues from fees and service charges and other income. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings and principal and interest payments on loans and securities.

Our website address is www.oritani.com. Information on our website should not be considered a part of this report.

Market Area

From our headquarters in the Township of Washington, New Jersey, we operate nineteen full service offices, including our main office. We operate offices in three separate counties of New Jersey: Bergen, Hudson and Passaic. The majority of our branches, fourteen, and deposits are located in Bergen County. In addition, we operate four branches in Hudson County and one branch in Passaic County.

In terms of population rank, Bergen County ranks as the largest county in New Jersey while Hudson County ranks fifth and Passaic County ranks ninth out of twenty-one counties. Based upon household income statistics, Bergen County ranks third out of the twenty-one counties in New Jersey while Passaic ranks thirteenth and Hudson County ranks twentieth. The three counties are a part of New Jersey, which is referred to as the “Gateway Region.”

Bergen County is bordered by Rockland County, New York to the north, the Hudson River to the east, Hudson County to the south, a small border with Essex County also to the south and Passaic County to the west.

Hudson County has always been a gateway for many immigrants to the United States. It is also recognized as one of the Northeast’s major transportation and industrial hubs as the New York metropolitan area’s three major airports – John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, and Newark Liberty International Airport – are within a relatively short distance of Hudson County.

Competition

We face intense competition within our market area both in making loans and attracting deposits. Our market area has a high concentration of financial institutions including large money center and regional banks, community banks and credit unions. Some of our competitors offer products and services that we currently do not

offer, such as trust services and private banking. As of June 30, 2006, the latest date for which statistics are available, our market share of deposits was approximately 2.87% in Bergen County, and less than 1.0% in each of Hudson and Passaic Counties.

Our competition for loans and deposits comes principally from locally owned and out-of-state commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking firms and credit unions. We face additional competition for deposits from short-term money market funds, brokerage firms, mutual funds and insurance companies. Our primary focus is to build and develop profitable customer relationships across all lines of business while maintaining our role as a community bank.

Lending Activities

Our principal lending activity is the origination of multi-family loans and commercial real estate loans as well as residential real estate mortgage loans and construction loans secured by property located primarily in our market area. Our commercial real estate loans consist primarily of mortgage loans secured by small commercial offices, retail space, warehouses and mixed-use buildings. Our multi-family loans consist primarily of mortgage loans secured by small- and medium-sized apartment buildings. Our residential real estate mortgage loans consist of one- to four-family residential real property and consumer loans. Construction loans consist primarily of one- to four-family development, condominiums and commercial development projects. Second mortgage and equity loans consist primarily of home equity loans and home equity lines of credit. Multi-family and commercial real estate loans represented $451.1 million, or 58.7%, of our total loan portfolio at June 30, 2007. One- to four-family residential real estate mortgage loans represented $188.9 million, or 24.6%, of our total loan portfolio at June 30, 2007. We also offer second mortgages and equity loans. At June 30, 2007, such loans totaled $65.2 million, or 8.5%, of our loan portfolio. At June 30, 2007, construction loans totaled $62.7 million, or 8.1%, of our loan portfolio. At June 30, 2007, other loans, which consist of business and account loans, totaled $1.1 million, or less than 1.0%, of our loan portfolio.

First Mortgage Loans:

Conventional One- to Four-Family Residential Loans. We originate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans substantially all of which are secured by properties located in our primary market area. At June 30, 2007, $188.9 million, or 24.6% of our loan portfolio, consisted of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. We generally retain for our portfolio substantially all loans that we originate. One- to four-family mortgage loan originations are generally obtained from existing or past customers, through advertising, and through referrals from local builders, real estate brokers, and attorneys and are underwritten pursuant to Oritani Savings Bank’s policies and standards. Generally, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans are originated in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the property, with private mortgage insurance required on loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%. We generally will not make loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 90%. Fixed rate mortgage loans are originated for terms of up to 40 years. Generally, fixed rate residential mortgage loans are underwritten according to Fannie Mae guidelines, policies and procedures. Recently there has been significant attention paid to the sub-prime lending component of the residential mortgage origination market. We do not originate or purchase and our loan portfolio does not include any sub-prime loans.

We also offer adjustable rate mortgage loans for one- to four-family properties, with an interest rate based on the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasuries adjusted to a constant maturity of one-year, which adjust either annually or every three years from the outset of the loan or which adjusts annually after a five-, seven- or ten-year initial fixed rate period. We originated $2.9 million of adjustable rate one- to four-family residential loans during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, as compared to total originations of $43.3 million of one- to four-family residential loans during the same fiscal year. Our adjustable rate mortgage loans generally provide for maximum rate adjustments of 2% per adjustment, with a lifetime maximum adjustment up to 6%, regardless of the initial rate. Our adjustable rate mortgage loans amortize over terms of up to 30 years.

Adjustable rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates. At June 30, 2007, $17.5 million, or 9.3% of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans, had adjustable rates of interest.

In an effort to provide financing for first-time homebuyers, we offer our own first-time homebuyer loan program. This program offers one- to four-family residential mortgage loans to qualified individuals. These loans are offered with terms and adjustable and fixed rates of interest similar to our other one- to four-family mortgage loan products. With this program, borrowers receive a discounted mortgage interest rate and do not pay certain loan origination fees. Such loans must be secured by an owner-occupied residence. These loans are originated using

similar underwriting guidelines as our other one- to four-family mortgage loans. Such loans are originated in amounts of up to 90% of the lower of the property’s appraised value or the sale price. Private mortgage insurance is not required for such loans. The maximum amount of such loan is $300,000.

We also offer our directors, officers and employees who satisfy certain criteria and our general underwriting standards fixed or adjustable rate loan products with reduced interest rates. Employee loans adhere to all other terms and conditions contained in the loan policy.

All residential mortgage loans that we originate include “due-on-sale” clauses, which give us the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event that, among other things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. Regulations limit the amount that a savings bank may lend relative to the appraised value of the real estate securing the loan, as determined by an appraisal of the property at the time the loan is originated. All borrowers are required to obtain title insurance for the benefit of Oritani Savings Bank. We also require homeowner’s insurance and fire and casualty insurance and, where circumstances warrant, flood insurance on properties securing real estate loans.

Multi-Family and Commercial Real Estate Loans. We originate non-residential commercial real estate mortgage loans and loans on multi-family dwellings. Our commercial real estate mortgage loans are primarily permanent loans secured by improved property such as mixed-use properties, office buildings, retail stores and commercial warehouses. Our multi-family mortgage loans are primarily permanent loans secured by apartment buildings. The terms and conditions of each loan are tailored to the needs of the borrower and based on the financial strength of the project and any guarantors. Generally, however, commercial real estate loans originated by us will not exceed 80% of the appraised value or the selling price of the property, whichever is less. The typical loan has a fixed rate of interest for the first five years, after which the loan reprices to a market index plus a spread. The fixed rate period is occasionally extended to as much as ten years. These loans typically amortize over 25 years and the maximum amortization period is 30 years. We also offer such loans on a self-amortizing basis with fixed rate terms up to 20 years. These loans are generally subject to a $1.5 million maximum loan amount. References to commercial real estate loans below refer to multi-family and commercial real estate.

In reaching a decision on whether to make a commercial real estate loan, we consider the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise and credit history and the value of the underlying property. In addition, with respect to commercial real estate rental properties, we will also consider the term of the lease and the quality of the tenants. We generally require that the properties securing these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before debt service to debt service) of at least 1.2 times. Environmental reports are generally required for commercial real estate loans. Commercial real estate loans made to corporations, partnerships and other business entities may require personal guarantees by the principals as warranted. Property inspections are conducted no less than every three years, or more frequently as warranted.

A commercial borrower’s financial information is monitored on an ongoing basis by requiring periodic financial statement updates, payment history reviews and periodic face-to-face meetings with the borrower. We require commercial borrowers to provide annually updated financial statements and federal tax returns. These requirements also apply to the individual principals of our commercial borrowers. We also require borrowers with rental investment property to provide an annual report of income and expenses for the property, including a tenant list and copies of leases, as applicable. The largest commercial real estate loan in our portfolio at June 30, 2007 was a $14.4 million loan located in Bergen County, New Jersey and secured by four multi-family apartment complexes. This loan was performing according to its terms at June 30, 2007. Our largest commercial real estate relationship consisted of properties located mainly in our primary market area with a real estate investor. The aggregate outstanding loan balance for this relationship is $30.1 million, and these loans are all performing in accordance with their terms.

Loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family properties, generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

Second Mortgage and Equity Loans. We also offer second mortgage and equity loans and home equity of lines of credit, each of which are secured by one- to four-family residences, substantially all of which are located in our primary market area. At June 30, 2007, second mortgage and equity loans totaled $65.2 million, or 8.5% of total loans. Additionally, at June 30, 2007, the unadvanced amounts of home equity lines of credit totaled $20.5 million. The underwriting standards utilized for home equity loans and equity lines of credit include a determination of the applicant’s credit history, an assessment of the applicant’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan and the value of the collateral securing the loan. The combined (first and second mortgage liens) loan-to-value ratio for home equity loans and equity lines of credit is generally limited to 80%. Home equity loans are offered with fixed and adjustable rates of interest and with terms of up to 20 years. Our home equity lines of credit have adjustable rates of interest which are indexed to the prime rate, as reported in The Wall Street Journal.

Equity loans entail greater risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly if they are secured by an asset that has a superior security interest. In addition, equity loan collections depend on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.

Construction Loans. We originate construction loans for the development of one- to four-family residential properties located in our primary market area. Residential construction loans are generally offered to experienced local developers operating in our primary market area and to individuals for the construction of their personal residences. At June 30, 2007, residential construction loans amounted to $37.4 million, or 4.8% of total loans.

Our residential construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, but in no event exceeding 24 months. Residential construction loans can be made with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 75% of the appraised value of the land and 100% of the costs associated with the construction. Residential construction loans are generally made on the same terms as our one- to four-family mortgage loans.

We also make construction loans for commercial development projects. The projects include multi-family, apartment, retail and office buildings. We generally require that a commitment for permanent financing be in place prior to closing the construction loan. The maximum loan-to-value ratio limit applicable to these loans is generally 80%. At June 30, 2007, commercial construction loans totaled $25.3 million, or 3.3% of total loans. At June 30, 2007, the largest outstanding commercial construction loan balance was for $8.5 million and is secured by a sports activity facility. This loan is a participation with another institution as lead lender, with a gross loan amount of $17.0 million. This loan was performing according to its terms at June 30, 2007.

Before making a commitment to fund a construction loan, we require an appraisal on the property by an independent licensed appraiser. We require title insurance and, if applicable, an environmental survey prior to making a commitment to fund a construction loan. We generally also review and inspect each property before disbursement of funds during the terms of the construction loan. Loan proceeds are disbursed after inspection based on the percentage of completion method.

Construction and development financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment.

Other Loans. Other loans consist of passbook, business and automobile loans. We offer a variety of consumer loans, principally to current Oritani Savings Bank customers, and such loans generally consist of secured personal loans. Other loans totaled $1.1 million, or less than 1% of our total loan portfolio at June 30, 2007.

Loan Originations, Purchases, Sales, Participations and Servicing of Loans. Lending activities are conducted primarily by our loan personnel operating at our main office. All loans originated by us are underwritten pursuant to our policies and procedures. We originate both adjustable rate and fixed rate loans. Our ability to originate fixed or adjustable rate loans is dependent upon the relative customer demand for such loans, which is affected by the current and expected future levels of market interest rates.

We retain in our portfolio substantially all loans that we originate, although we have occasionally sold longer-term, fixed-rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans into the secondary market. There were no sales of residential mortgage loans in fiscal 2006 or 2007.

Occasionally, we will also participate in loans, sometimes as the “lead lender.” Whether we are the lead lender or not, we underwrite our participation portion of the loan according to our own underwriting criteria and procedures. At June 30, 2007, we had $34.2 million in loan participation interests.

At June 30, 2007, we were servicing loans sold in the amount of $9.8 million. Loan servicing includes collecting and remitting loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, contacting delinquent mortgagors, supervising foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of unremedied defaults, making certain insurance and tax payments on behalf of the borrowers and generally administering the loans.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we originated $43.3 million of fixed- and adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, all of which were retained by us. The fixed-rate loans retained by us consisted primarily of loans with terms of 30 years or less.

Non-performing and Problem Assets

We commence collection efforts when a loan becomes ten days past due with system generated reminder notices. Subsequent late charges and delinquent notices are issued and the account is monitored on a regular basis thereafter. Personal, direct contact with the borrower is attempted early in the collection process as a courtesy reminder and later to determine the reason for the delinquency and to safeguard our collateral. When a loan is more than 45 days past due, the credit file is reviewed and, if deemed necessary, information is updated or confirmed and collateral re-evaluated. We make every effort to contact the borrower and develop a plan of repayment to cure the delinquency. A summary report of all loans 30 days or more past due is reported to the Board of Directors. If no repayment plan is in process, the file is referred to counsel for the commencement of foreclosure or other collection efforts.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they are more than 90 days delinquent. When loans are placed on a non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed. Once the outstanding principal balance is brought current, income is recognized to the extent it is deemed collectible. If the deficiencies causing the delinquency are resolved, such loans may be placed on accrual status once all arrearages are resolved.

Non-Performing Assets. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our non-performing assets at the dates indicated. At each date presented, we had no troubled debt restructurings (loans for which a portion of interest or principal has been forgiven and loans modified at interest rates materially less than current market rates).

In addition to the above, we had loans that were delinquent 90 days or more past due as to principal. Such loans had passed their maturity date but continued making monthly payments, keeping their interest current. In addition, all such loans subsequently paid in full or were extended by us, which negated their past due maturity status. These loans totaled $3.2 million, $806,000, and $719,000 at June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Real Estate Owned. Real estate acquired by us as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until sold. When property is acquired it is recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Holding costs and declines in fair value result in charges to expense after acquisition are expensed. At June 30, 2007, we had no real estate owned.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide that loans and other assets of lesser quality should be classified as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that we will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. We classify an asset as “special mention” if the asset has a potential weakness that warrants management’s close attention. While such assets are not impaired, management has concluded that if the potential weakness in the asset is not addressed, the value of the asset may deteriorate, adversely affecting the repayment of the asset.

We are required to establish general allowances for loan losses for loans classified substandard or doubtful, as well as for other problem loans. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When we classify problem assets as “loss,” we are required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of the amount of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount. Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our valuation allowances is subject to review by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.

The following table shows the aggregate amounts of our classified assets at the date indicated for both residential real estate and non-residential real estate loans. The amount of assets classified as “substandard” in the table includes two commercial real estates loans at June 30, 2007 and three commercial real estate loans at June 30, 2006 and 2005.

The loan portfolio is reviewed on a regular basis to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. Not all classified assets constitute non-performing assets.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Our allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level necessary to absorb loan losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Management, in determining the allowance for loan losses, considers the losses inherent in our loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of loan activities, along with the general economic and real estate market conditions. A description of our methodology in establishing our allowance for loan losses is set forth in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies-Allowance for Loan Losses.” The allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2007 was maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and such losses were both probable and reasonably estimable. However, this analysis process is inherently subjective, as it requires us to make estimates that are susceptible to revisions as more information becomes available. Although we believe that we have established the allowance at levels to absorb probable and estimable losses, future additions may be necessary if economic or other conditions in the future differ from the current environment.

In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of Thrift Supervision, and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance has authority to periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require that we recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

The increase in the allowance for loan losses, and related provision, is primarily due to the continued increase in the multi-family and commercial real estate loan portfolio. These types of loans inherently contain more credit risk than one- to four family residential loans. A substantial portion of this portfolio has been originated over the past several years; therefore, a portion of this portfolio does not have significant seasoning and the credit risk inherent in that portfolio cannot be estimated primarily by historical experience. Although we had some experience in this type of lending prior to this significant growth, the increased volume of such originations during the last three years heightens the credit risk associated with this portion of the loan portfolio. Therefore, in order to adequately establish the allowance at levels sufficient to absorb probable and estimable losses in the loan portfolio, we focus on the ratio of the allowance to total loans as well as other measurement factors. This analysis incorporates our review of various sources of industry data relating to the allowance for loan losses, including peer group reviews. Due to the continued focus on this type of lending, we have increased the allowance for loan losses, and related provision, during periods of significant multi-family and commercial loan growth. Consistent with this practice, we have

recorded a reversal of the allowance during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, primarily to recognize the reduction of the loan portfolio during that period.

Investments

The Board of Directors is responsible for adopting our investment policy. The investment policy is reviewed periodically by management and any changes to the policy are recommended to and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors. Authority to make investments under the approved investment policy guidelines is delegated to appropriate officers. While general investment strategies are developed and authorized by the Board of Directors, the execution of specific actions primarily rests with Oritani Savings Bank’s President, Chief Financial Officer and Asset/Liability Committee, which have responsibility for ensuring that the guidelines and requirements included in the investment policy are followed and that all securities are considered prudent for investment. Each of our Chief Financial Officer, President and Asset/Liability Committee have increasing authority to purchase various types of investments; all investment purchases in excess of $10.0 million must be approved by our Board of Directors. All investment transactions are reviewed and ratified or approved (as the case may be) at regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors. Any investment which, subsequent to its purchase, fails to meet the guidelines of the policy is reported to the Board of Directors at its next meeting where the Board decides whether to hold or sell the investment.

New Jersey-chartered savings banks have authority to invest in various types of assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, mortgage-backed securities, certain certificates of deposit of insured financial institutions, overnight and short-term loans to other banks, corporate debt instruments, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac equity securities. Oritani Financial Corp., as a federally chartered mid-tier stock holding company, may invest in equity securities subject to certain limitations.

The investment policy requires that all securities transactions be conducted in a safe and sound manner. Investment decisions must be based upon a thorough analysis of each security instrument to determine if its quality and inherent risks fit within Oritani Savings Bank’s overall asset/liability management objectives, the effect on its risk-based capital measurement and the prospects for yield and/or appreciation. The investment policy provides that Oritani Savings Bank may invest in U.S. treasury notes, U.S. and state agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities, commercial paper and other conservative investment opportunities.

Our investment portfolio at June 30, 2007, consisted of $30.4 million in federal agency obligations, an $8.4 million investment in a mutual fund and $2.0 million of corporate debt instruments. We also invest in mortgage-backed securities, most of which are guaranteed by government sponsored enterprises. At June 30, 2007, our mortgage-backed securities portfolio totaled $256.2 million, or 21.4% of total assets, and consisted of $17.5 million in fixed-rate securities and $238.7 million in adjustable-rate securities, primarily guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. Securities can be classified as held to maturity or available for sale at the date of purchase.

U.S. Government and Federal Agency Obligations. At June 30, 2007, our U.S. Government and federal agency securities portfolio totaled $30.4 million, all of which $5.4 million was classified as held to maturity and $25.0 million was available for sale.

Mortgage-Backed Securities. We purchase mortgage-backed securities primarily insured or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. We invest in mortgage-backed securities to achieve positive interest rate spreads with minimal administrative expense, and to lower our credit risk as a result of the guarantees provided by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae. Our investment policy also authorizes the investment in collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), also insured or issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae, as well as a limited amount of private label CMOs. We limit CMO investments to those classes of CMOs carrying the most stable cash flows and lowest prepayment risk of any class of CMOs and which pass the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s average life restriction tests at the time of purchase.

Mortgage-backed securities are created by the pooling of mortgages and the issuance of a security with an interest rate which is less than the interest rate on the underlying mortgages. Mortgage-backed securities typically represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages, although we focus our investments on mortgage-backed securities backed by one- to four-family mortgages. The issuers of such securities

(generally U.S. government agencies and government sponsored enterprises, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae) pool and resell the participation interests in the form of securities to investors such as us, and guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors. Mortgage-backed securities generally yield less than the loans that underlie such securities because of the cost of payment guarantees and credit enhancements. However, mortgage-backed securities are usually more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize our specific liabilities and obligations.

At June 30, 2007, our mortgage-backed securities totaled $256.2 million or 21.4%, of total assets and 23.1% of interest earning assets. At June 30, 2007, 93.2% of the mortgage-backed securities were backed by adjustable rate mortgage loans and 6.8% were backed by fixed rate mortgage loans. The mortgage-backed securities portfolio had a weighted average yield of 4.35% at June 30, 2007. The estimated fair value of our mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 2007 was $249.3 million, which is $6.9 million less than the amortized cost of $256.2 million. Investments in mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual prepayments may differ from estimated prepayments over the life of the security, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount relating to such instruments thereby changing the net yield on such securities. There is also reinvestment risk associated with the cash flows from such securities or if such securities are redeemed by the issuer. In addition, the market value of such securities may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

Corporate Bonds. At June 30, 2007, our corporate bond portfolio totaled $2.0 million, all of which was classified as available for sale. The industry represented by our corporate bond issuer was financial. Although corporate bonds may offer higher yields than U.S. Treasury or agency securities of comparable duration, corporate bonds also have a higher risk of default due to possible adverse changes in the credit-worthiness of the issuer.

Mutual Funds. At June 30, 2007, our mutual fund portfolio totaled $8.4 million, or less than 1.0% of our total assets, all of which were classified as available for sale. The portfolio consisted of an investment in a mutual fund that holds adjustable-rate mortgage loans and similar securities.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits have traditionally been the primary source of funds for use in lending and investment activities. We also use borrowings, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank advances, to supplement cash flow needs, to lengthen the maturities of liabilities for interest rate risk management purposes and to manage the cost of funds. In addition, funds are derived from scheduled loan payments, mortgaged-backed securities scheduled payments and prepayments, investment maturities, loan prepayments, retained earnings and income on other earning assets. While scheduled loan payments and income on earning assets are relatively stable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows can vary widely and are influenced by prevailing interest rates, market conditions and levels of competition.

Deposits. Our deposits are generated primarily from residents within our primary market area. We offer a selection of deposit accounts, including demand accounts, NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts, savings accounts, retirement accounts and time deposits. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the amount of time the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. We currently do not accept brokered deposits, although we have the authority to do so.

Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and other account features are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market rates, liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors and growth goals. Personalized customer service, long-standing relationships with customers, convenient locations, competitive rates of interest and an active marketing program are relied upon to attract and retain deposits.

The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in prevailing interest rates and competition. The variety of deposit accounts offered allows us to be competitive in obtaining funds and responding to changes in consumer demand while managing interest rate risk and minimizing interest expense. At June 30, 2007, $422.5 million, or 60.7% of our deposit accounts were time deposits, of which $383.3 million had maturities of one year or less.

The book values for wholly owned properties represent the costs of the fixed assets associated with the property, less accumulated depreciation. Therefore, the book value at the beginning of a period, adjusted by the profit or loss for the period, will not equal the book value at the end of the period since these are not accounted for by the equity method.

Personnel

As of June 30, 2007, we had 118 full-time employees and 51 part-time employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management believes that we have good relations with our employees.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General

Federal law allows a state savings bank, such as Oritani Savings Bank, that qualifies as a “qualified thrift lender” (discussed below), to elect to be treated as a savings association for purposes of the savings and loan holding company provisions of the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended (“HOLA”). Such election results in its holding companies being regulated as savings and loan holding companies by the Office of Thrift Supervision rather than as bank holding companies regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. At the time of its reorganization into a holding company structure, Oritani Savings Bank elected to be treated as a savings association under the applicable provisions of the HOLA. Accordingly, Oritani Financial Corp. and Oritani Financial Corp., MHC are savings and loan holding companies and are required to file certain reports with, and are subject to examination by, and otherwise must comply with the rules and regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Oritani Financial Corp. is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.

Oritani Savings Bank is a New Jersey-chartered savings bank, and its deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Oritani Savings Bank is subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the “Commissioner”) as the issuer of its charter, and by the FDIC as the deposit insurer and its primary federal regulator. Oritani Savings Bank must file reports with the Commissioner and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition, and it must obtain regulatory approval prior to entering into certain transactions, such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other depository institutions and opening or acquiring branch offices. The Commissioner and the FDIC conduct periodic examinations to assess Oritani Savings Bank’s compliance with various regulatory requirements. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which a savings bank may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the deposit insurance fund and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes.

Any change in these laws or regulations, whether by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, the FDIC, the Office of Thrift Supervision or the U.S. Congress, could have a material adverse impact on Oritani Financial Corp., Oritani Savings Bank and their operations.

Certain of the regulatory requirements that are or will be applicable to Oritani Savings Bank, Oritani Financial Corp. and Oritani Financial Corp., MHC are described below. This description of statutes and regulations is not intended to be a complete explanation of such statutes and regulations and their effects on Oritani Savings Bank, Oritani Financial Corp. and Oritani Financial Corp., MHC and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual statutes and regulations.

New Jersey Banking Regulation

Activity Powers. Oritani Savings Bank derives its lending, investment and other powers primarily from the applicable provisions of the New Jersey Banking Act and its related regulations. Under these laws and regulations, savings banks, such as Oritani Savings Bank, generally may invest in:

(1)

real estate mortgages;

(2)

consumer and commercial loans;

(3)

specific types of debt securities, including certain corporate debt securities and obligations of federal, state and local governments and agencies;

(4)

certain types of corporate equity securities; and

(5)

certain other assets.

A savings bank may also invest pursuant to a “leeway” power that permits investments not otherwise permitted by the New Jersey Banking Act. “Leeway” investments must comply with a number of limitations on the individual and aggregate amounts of “leeway” investments. Under this “leeway” authority, New Jersey savings banks may exercise those powers, rights, benefits or privileges authorized for national banks or out-of-state banks or for federal or out-of-state savings banks or savings associations, provided that before exercising any such power, right, benefit or privilege, prior approval by the Commissioner by regulation or by specific authorization is required. A savings bank may also exercise trust powers upon approval of the Commissioner. The exercise of these lending, investment and activity powers are limited by federal law and the related regulations. See “-Federal Banking Regulation-Activity Restrictions on State-Chartered Banks” below.

Loans-to-One-Borrower Limitations. With certain specified exceptions, a New Jersey-chartered savings bank may not make loans or extend credit to a single borrower or to entities related to the borrower in an aggregate amount that would exceed 15% of the bank’s capital funds. A savings bank may lend an additional 10% of its capital funds if the loan is secured by collateral meeting the requirements of the New Jersey Banking Act. Oritani Savings Bank currently complies with applicable loans-to-one-borrower limitations.

Dividends. Under the New Jersey Banking Act, a stock savings bank may declare and pay a dividend on its capital stock only to the extent that the payment of the dividend would not impair the capital stock of the savings bank. In addition, a stock savings bank may not pay a dividend unless the savings bank would, after the payment of the dividend, have a surplus of not less than 50% of its capital stock, or alternatively, the payment of the dividend would not reduce the surplus. Federal law may also limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by Oritani Savings Bank. See “-Federal Banking Regulation-Prompt Corrective Action” below.

Minimum Capital Requirements. Regulations of the Commissioner impose on New Jersey-chartered depository institutions, such as Oritani Savings Bank, minimum capital requirements similar to those imposed by the FDIC on insured state banks. See “-Federal Banking Regulation-Capital Requirements.”

Examination and Enforcement. The New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the “Department”) may examine Oritani Savings Bank whenever it deems an examination advisable. The Department examines Oritani Savings Bank at least every two years. The Commissioner may order any savings bank to discontinue any violation of law or unsafe or unsound banking practice, and may direct any director, officer, attorney or employee of a savings bank engaged in an objectionable activity, after the Commissioner has ordered the activity to be terminated, to show cause at a hearing before the Commissioner why such person should not be removed.

Federal Banking Regulation

Capital Requirements. FDIC regulations require banks to maintain minimum levels of capital. The FDIC regulations define two tiers, or classes, of capital.

Tier 1 capital is comprised of the sum of:

•

common stockholders’ equity, excluding the unrealized appreciation or depreciation, net of tax, from available for sale securities;

•

non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, including any related retained earnings; and

•

minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries minus all intangible assets, other than qualifying servicing rights and any net unrealized loss on marketable equity securities.

The components of Tier 2 capital currently include:

•

cumulative perpetual preferred stock;

•

certain perpetual preferred stock for which the dividend rate may be reset periodically;

•

hybrid capital instruments, including mandatory convertible securities;

•

term subordinated debt;

•

intermediate term preferred stock;

•

allowance for loan losses; and

•

up to 45% of pretax net unrealized holding gains on available for sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values.

The allowance for loan losses includible in Tier 2 capital is limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets (as discussed below). Overall, the amount of Tier 2 capital that may be included in total capital cannot exceed 100% of Tier 1 capital. The FDIC regulations establish a minimum leverage capital requirement for banks in the strongest financial and managerial condition of not less than a ratio of 3.0% of Tier 1 capital to total assets. For all other banks, the minimum leverage capital requirement is 4.0%, unless a higher leverage capital ratio is warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profile of the depository institution.

The FDIC regulations also require that banks meet a risk-based capital standard. The risk-based capital standard requires the maintenance of a ratio of total capital, which is defined as the sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital, to risk-weighted assets of at least 8% and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4%. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, plus certain off balance sheet items, are multiplied by a risk-weight of 0% to 100%, based on the risks the FDIC believes are inherent in the type of asset or item.

The federal banking agencies, including the FDIC, have also adopted regulations to require an assessment of an institution’s exposure to declines in the economic value of a bank’s capital due to changes in interest rates when assessing the bank’s capital adequacy. Under such a risk assessment, examiners evaluate a bank’s capital for interest rate risk on a case-by-case basis, with consideration of both quantitative and qualitative factors. Institutions with significant interest rate risk may be required to hold additional capital. According to the agencies, applicable considerations include:

•

the quality of the bank’s interest rate risk management process;

•

the overall financial condition of the bank; and

•

the level of other risks at the bank for which capital is needed.

Total risk-based capital		187,917	23.99

(1)	For purposes of calculating Core capital, assets are based on adjusted total leverage assets. In calculating Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital, assets are based on total risk-weighted assets.

As the table shows, as of June 30, 2007, Oritani Savings Bank was considered “well capitalized” under FDIC guidelines.

Prompt Corrective Action. Federal law requires, among other things, that the federal bank regulatory authorities take “prompt corrective action” with respect to institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. For these purposes, the law establishes five categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. The FDIC’s regulations define the five capital categories as follows:

An institution will be treated as “well capitalized” if:

•

its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is at least 10%;

•

its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is at least 6%; and

•

its ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets is at least 5%, and it is not subject to any order or directive by the FDIC to meet a specific capital level.

An institution will be treated as “adequately capitalized” if:

•

its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is at least 8%; or

•

its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is at least 4%; and

•

its ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets is at least 4% (3% if the bank receives the highest rating under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System) and it is not a well-capitalized institution.

An institution will be treated as “undercapitalized” if:

•

its total risk-based capital is less than 8%; or

•

its Tier 1 risk-based-capital is less than 4%; and

•

its leverage ratio is less than 4% (or less than 3% if the institution receives the highest rating under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System).

An institution will be treated as “significantly undercapitalized” if:

•

its total risk-based capital is less than 6%;

•

its Tier 1 capital is less than 3%; or

•

its leverage ratio is less than 3%.

An institution that has a tangible capital to total assets ratio equal to or less than 2% would be deemed to be “critically undercapitalized.”

The FDIC is required, with some exceptions, to appoint a receiver or conservator for an insured state bank if that bank is “critically undercapitalized.” For this purpose, “critically undercapitalized” means having a ratio of tangible capital to total assets of less than 2%. The FDIC may also appoint a conservator or receiver for a state bank on the basis of the institution’s financial condition or upon the occurrence of certain events, including:

•

insolvency, or when the assets of the bank are less than its liabilities to depositors and others;

•

substantial dissipation of assets or earnings through violations of law or unsafe or unsound practices;

•

existence of an unsafe or unsound condition to transact business;

•

likelihood that the bank will be unable to meet the demands of its depositors or to pay its obligations in the normal course of business; and

•

insufficient capital, or the incurring or likely incurring of losses that will deplete substantially all of the institution’s capital with no reasonable prospect of replenishment of capital without federal assistance.

Activity Restrictions on State-Chartered Banks. Federal law and FDIC regulations generally limit the activities and investments of state-chartered FDIC insured banks and their subsidiaries to those permissible for national banks and their subsidiaries, unless such activities and investments are specifically exempted by law or consented to by the FDIC.

Before making a new investment or engaging in a new activity that is not permissible for a national bank or otherwise permissible under federal law or FDIC regulations, an insured bank must seek approval from the FDIC to make such investment or engage in such activity. The FDIC will not approve the activity unless the bank meets its minimum capital requirements and the FDIC determines that the activity does not present a significant risk to the FDIC insurance funds. Certain activities of subsidiaries that are engaged in activities permitted for national banks only through a “financial subsidiary” are subject to additional restrictions.

Federal law permits a state-chartered savings bank to engage, through financial subsidiaries, in any activity in which a national bank may engage through a financial subsidiary and on substantially the same terms and conditions. In general, the law permits a national bank that is well-capitalized and well-managed to conduct, through a financial subsidiary, any activity permitted for a financial holding company other than insurance underwriting, insurance investments, real estate investment or development or merchant banking. The total assets of all such financial subsidiaries may not exceed the lesser of 45% of the bank’s total assets or $50 billion. The bank must have policies and procedures to assess the financial subsidiary’s risk and protect the bank from such risk and potential liability, must not consolidate the financial subsidiary’s assets with the bank’s and must exclude from its own assets and equity all equity investments, including retained earnings, in the financial subsidiary. State chartered savings banks may retain subsidiaries in existence as of March 11, 2000 and may engage in activities that are not authorized under federal law. Although Oritani Savings Bank meets all conditions necessary to establish and engage in permitted activities through financial subsidiaries, it has not yet determined whether or the extent to which it will seek to engage in such activities.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. Deposit accounts in Oritani Savings Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation generally up to a maximum of $100,000 per separately insured depositor and up to a maximum of $250,000 for self-directed retirement accounts. Oritani Savings Bank’s deposits, therefore, are subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance assessments.

On February 15, 2006, federal legislation to reform federal deposit insurance was enacted. This new legislation required, among other things, that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation adopt regulations increasing the maximum amount of federal deposit insurance coverage per separately insured depositor to $130,000 (with a cost of living adjustment to become effective in five years) and modifying the deposit fund’s reserve ratio for a range between 1.15% and 1.50% of estimated insured deposits.

On November 2, 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation adopted final regulations establishing a risk-based assessment system that will enable the FDIC to more closely tie each financial institution's premiums to the risk it poses to the deposit insurance fund. Under the new risk-based assessment system, which becomes effective in the beginning of 2007, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will evaluate the risk of each financial institution based on three primary sources of information: (1) its supervisory rating, (2) its financial ratios, and (3) its long-term debt issuer rating, if the institution has one. The new rates for nearly all of the financial institution industry will vary between five and seven cents for every $100 of domestic deposits. At the same time, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation also adopted final regulations designating the reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund during 2007 at 1.25% of estimated insured deposits.

Effective March 31, 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation merged the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (“SAIF”) into a single insurance fund called the Deposit Insurance Fund. As a result of the merger, the BIF and SAIF were abolished. The merger of the BIF and SAIF into the Deposit Insurance Fund does not affect the authority of the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) to impose and collect, with approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, assessments for anticipated payments, insurance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the FICO assessment was equal to 1.28 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits maintained at an institution.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. Oritani Savings Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, Oritani Savings Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank in an amount at least equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid residential mortgage loans and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, 4.5% of its borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, or 0.3% of assets, whichever is greater. As of June 30, 2007, Oritani Savings Bank was in compliance with this requirement.

Enforcement. The FDIC has extensive enforcement authority over insured savings banks, including Oritani Savings Bank. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist orders and to remove directors and officers. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated in response to violations of laws and regulations and to unsafe or unsound practices.

Transactions with Affiliates of Oritani Savings Bank. Transactions between an insured bank, such as Oritani Savings Bank, and any of its affiliates are governed by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and implementing regulations. An affiliate of a insured bank is any company or entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the bank. Generally, a subsidiary of a bank that is not also a depository institution or financial subsidiary is not treated as an affiliate of the bank for purposes of Sections 23A and 23B.

Section 23A:

•

limits the extent to which the bank or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such bank’s capital stock and retained earnings, and limits all such transactions with all affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital stock and retained earnings; and

•

requires that all such transactions be on terms that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices.

The term “covered transaction” includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of guarantees and other similar types of transactions. Further, most loans by a bank to any of its affiliates must be secured by collateral in amounts ranging from 100% to 130% of the loan amounts. In addition, any covered transaction by a bank with an affiliate and any purchase of assets or services by a bank from an affiliate must be on terms that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the bank, as those that would be provided to a non-affiliate.

Prohibitions Against Tying Arrangements. Banks are subject to the prohibitions of 12 U.S.C. Section 1972 on certain tying arrangements. A depository institution is prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution.

Privacy Standards. FDIC regulations require Oritani Savings Bank to disclose their privacy policy, including identifying with whom they share “non-public personal information,” to customers at the time of establishing the customer relationship and annually thereafter. Oritani Savings Bank does not share “non-public personal information” with third parties.

In addition, Oritani Savings Bank is required to provide its customers with the ability to “opt-out” of having Oritani Savings Bank share their non-public personal information with unaffiliated third parties before they can disclose such information, subject to certain exceptions.

The FDIC and other federal banking agencies adopted guidelines establishing standards for safeguarding customer information. The guidelines describe the agencies’ expectations for the creation, implementation and maintenance of an information security program, which would include administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the size and complexity of the institution and the nature and scope of its activities. The standards set forth in the guidelines are intended to insure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information, protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records and protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.

Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws. All FDIC insured institutions have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. In connection with its examination of a state chartered savings bank, the FDIC is required to assess the institution’s record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. Among other things, the current Community Reinvestment Act regulations replace the prior process-based assessment factors with a new evaluation system that rates an institution based on its actual performance in meeting community needs. In particular, the current evaluation system focuses on three tests:

•

a lending test, to evaluate the institution’s record of making loans in its service areas;

•

an investment test, to evaluate the institution’s record of investing in community development projects, affordable housing, and programs benefiting low or moderate income individuals and businesses; and

•

a service test, to evaluate the institution’s delivery of services through its branches, ATMs and other offices.

An institution’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in regulatory restrictions on its activities. Oritani Savings Bank received a “satisfactory” Community Reinvestment Act rating in our most recently completed federal examination, which was conducted by the FDIC in 2002.

In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by the FDIC, as well as other federal regulatory agencies and the Department of Justice.

Loans to a Bank’s Insiders

Federal Regulation. A bank’s loans to its executive officers, directors, any owner of more than 10% or more of its stock (each, an insider) and any of certain entities affiliated with any such persons (an insider’s related interest) are subject to the conditions and limitations imposed by Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and its implementing regulations. Under these restrictions, the aggregate amount of the loans to any insider and the insider’s related interests may not exceed the loans-to-one-borrower limit applicable to national banks, which is comparable to the loans-to-one-borrower limit applicable to Oritani Savings Bank. See “-New Jersey Banking Regulation-Loans-to-One Borrower Limitations.” All loans by a bank to all insiders and insiders’ related interests in the aggregate generally may not exceed the bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. With certain exceptions, loans to an executive officer, other than loans for the education of the officer’s children and certain loans secured by the officer’s primary residence, may not exceed the lesser of (1) $100,000 or (2) the greater of $25,000 or 2.5% of the bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus. Federal regulation also requires that any proposed loan to an insider or a related interest of that insider be approved in advance by a majority of the board of directors of the bank, with any interested directors not participating in the voting, if such loan, when aggregated with any existing loans to that insider and the insider’s related interests, would exceed either (1) $500,000 or (2) the greater of $25,000 or 5% of the bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus.

Generally, loans to insiders must be made on substantially the same terms as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those that are prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. An exception is made for extensions of credit made pursuant to a benefit or compensation plan of a bank that is widely available to employees of the bank and that does not give any preference to insiders of the bank over other employees of the bank.

In addition, federal law prohibits extensions of credit to a bank’s insiders and their related interests by any other institution that has a correspondent banking relationship with the bank, unless such extension of credit is on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and does not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.

New Jersey Regulation. Provisions of the New Jersey Banking Act impose conditions and limitations on the liabilities to a savings bank of its directors and executive officers and of corporations and partnerships controlled by such persons that are comparable in many respects to the conditions and limitations imposed on the loans and extensions of credit to insiders and their related interests under federal law, as discussed above. The New Jersey Banking Act also provides that a savings bank that is in compliance with federal law is deemed to be in compliance with such provisions of the New Jersey Banking Act.

Other Regulations

Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by Oritani Savings Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. Oritani Savings Bank’s operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:

•

Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;

•

Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;

•

Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;

•

Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1978, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies;

•

Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies; and

•

rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws.

The operations of Oritani Savings Bank also are subject to the:

•

Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;

•

Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services;

•

Check Clearing for the 21^st Century Act (also known as “Check 21”), which gives “substitute checks,” such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check;

•

Title III of The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (referred to as the “USA PATRIOT Act”), which significantly expanded the responsibilities of financial institutions, including savings banks, in preventing the use of the U.S. financial system to fund terrorist activities. Among other provisions, the USA PATRIOT Act and the related regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision require savings associations operating in the United States to develop new anti-money laundering compliance programs, due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such required compliance programs are intended to supplement existing compliance requirements, also applicable to financial institutions, under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulations; and

•

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which placed limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information by financial institutions with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires all financial institutions offering financial products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution’s privacy policy and provide such customers the opportunity to “opt out” of the sharing of certain personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties.

Holding Company Regulation

General. Oritani Financial Corp., MHC and Oritani Financial Corp. are non-diversified savings and loan holding companies within the meaning of the HOLA. As such, Oritani Financial Corp., MHC and Oritani Financial Corp. are registered with the Office of Thrift Supervision and subject to Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, examinations, supervision and reporting requirements. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision has enforcement authority over Oritani Financial Corp. and Oritani Financial Corp., MHC, and their subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the Office of Thrift Supervision to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution. As federal corporations, Oritani Financial Corp. and Oritani Financial Corp., MHC are generally not subject to state business organization laws.

Permitted Activities. Pursuant to Section 10(o) of the HOLA and Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and policy, a mutual holding company and a federally chartered mid-tier holding company such as Oritani Financial Corp. may engage in the following activities:

(i)

investing in the stock of a savings bank;

(ii)

acquiring a mutual association through the merger of such association into a savings bank subsidiary of such holding company or an interim savings bank subsidiary of such holding company;

(iii)

merging with or acquiring another holding company, one of whose subsidiaries is a savings bank;

(iv)

investing in a corporation, the capital stock of which is available for purchase by a savings bank under federal law or under the law of any state where the subsidiary savings bank or associations share their home offices;

(v)

furnishing or performing management services for a savings bank subsidiary of such company;

(vi)

holding, managing or liquidating assets owned or acquired from a savings subsidiary of such company;

(vii)

holding or managing properties used or occupied by a savings bank subsidiary of such company;

(viii)

acting as trustee under deeds of trust;

(ix)

any other activity:

A. that the Federal Reserve Board, by regulation, has determined to be permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, unless the Director, by regulation, prohibits or limits any such activity for savings and loan holding companies; or

B. in which multiple savings and loan holding companies were authorized (by regulation) to directly engage on March 5, 1987;

(x)

any activity permissible for financial holding companies under Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act, including securities and insurance underwriting; and

(xi)

purchasing, holding, or disposing of stock acquired in connection with a qualified stock issuance if the purchase of such stock by such savings and loan holding company is approved by the Director. If a mutual holding company acquires or merges with another holding company, the holding company acquired or the holding company resulting from such merger or acquisition may only invest in assets and engage in activities listed in (i) through (x) above, and has a period of two years to cease any nonconforming activities and divest any nonconforming investments.

The HOLA prohibits a savings and loan holding company, including Oritani Financial Corp. and Oritani Financial Corp., MHC, directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5% of another savings institution or holding company thereof, without prior written approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. It also prohibits the acquisition or retention of, with certain exceptions, more than 5% of a nonsubsidiary company engaged in activities other than those permitted by the HOLA, or acquiring or retaining control of an institution that is not federally insured. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Office of Thrift Supervision must consider the financial and managerial resources, future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors.

The Office of Thrift Supervision is prohibited from approving any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, subject to two exceptions:

(i)

the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies; and

(ii)

the acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisitions.

The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.

Waivers of Dividends by Oritani Financial Corp., MHC. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require Oritani Financial Corp., MHC to notify the Office of Thrift Supervision of any proposed waiver of its receipt of dividends from Oritani Financial Corp. The Office of Thrift Supervision reviews dividend waiver notices on a case-by-case basis, and, in general, does not object to any such waiver if:

(i)

the waiver would not be detrimental to the safe and sound operation of the subsidiary savings association; and

(ii)

the mutual holding company’s Board of Directors determines that such waiver is consistent with such directors’ fiduciary duties to the mutual holding company’s members.

We anticipate that Oritani Financial Corp., MHC will waive any dividends paid by Oritani Financial Corp. Under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, our public stockholders would not be diluted because of any dividends waived by Oritani Financial Corp., MHC (and waived dividends would not be considered in determining an appropriate exchange ratio) in the event Oritani Financial Corp., MHC converts to stock form.

Conversion of Oritani Financial Corp., MHC to Stock Form. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations permit Oritani Financial Corp., MHC to convert from the mutual form of organization to the capital stock form of organization. There can be no assurance when, if ever, a conversion transaction will occur, and the Board of Directors has no current intention or plan to undertake a conversion transaction. In a conversion transaction a new stock holding company would be formed as the successor to Oritani Financial Corp., Oritani Financial Corp., MHC’s corporate existence would end, and certain depositors and borrowers of Oritani Savings Bank would receive the right to subscribe for additional shares of the new holding company. In a conversion transaction, each share of common stock held by stockholders other than Oritani Financial Corp., MHC would be automatically converted into a number of shares of common stock of the new holding company determined pursuant an exchange ratio that ensures that stockholders other than Oritani Financial Corp., MHC own the same percentage of common stock in the new holding company as they owned in Oritani Financial Corp. immediately prior to the conversion transaction, subject to adjustment for any assets held by Oritani Financial Corp., MHC.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test. In order for Oritani Financial Corp. and Oritani Financial Corp., MHC to continue to be regulated as savings and loan holding companies by the Office of Thrift Supervision (rather than as a bank holding companies by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), Oritani Savings Bank must qualify as a “qualified thrift lender” under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations or satisfy the “domestic building and loan association” test under the Internal Revenue Code. Under the qualified thrift lender test, a savings institution is required to maintain at least 65% of its “portfolio assets” (total assets less: (i) specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets; (ii) intangible, including goodwill; and (iii) the value of property used to conduct business) in certain “qualified thrift investments” (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including certain mortgage-backed and related securities) in at least nine out of each 12 month period. Oritani Savings Bank currently maintains the majority of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and has met the qualified thrift lender test in each of the last 12 months.

Federal Securities Laws

Oritani Financial Corp.’s common stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Oritani Financial Corp. is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Oritani Financial Corp. common stock held by persons who are affiliates (generally officers, directors and principal stockholders) of Oritani Financial Corp. may not be resold without registration or unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. If Oritani Financial Corp. meets specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of Oritani Financial Corp. is able to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. As directed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each will be required to certify that our quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal controls; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors about our internal controls; and they have included information in our quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls. We will be subject to further reporting and audit requirements beginning with the year ending June 30, 2008 under the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will prepare policies, procedures and systems designed to ensure compliance with these regulations.

FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION

Federal Taxation

General. Oritani Financial Corp. and Oritani Savings Bank are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. Neither Oritani Financial Corp.’s nor Oritani Savings Bank’s federal tax returns are currently under audit, and neither entity has been audited during the past five years. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize certain pertinent federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to Oritani Financial Corp. or Oritani Savings Bank.

Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, Oritani Financial Corp. currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a tax year ending December 31 for filing its federal and state income tax returns.

Bad Debt Reserves. Historically, Oritani Savings Bank has been subject to special provisions in the tax law regarding allowable tax bad debt deductions and related reserves. Tax law changes were enacted in 1996, pursuant to the Small Business Protection Act of 1996 (the “1996 Act”), that eliminated the use of the percentage of taxable income method for tax years after 1995 and required recapture into taxable income over a six year period of all bad debt reserves accumulated after 1988. Oritani Savings Bank recaptured its reserve balance over the six-year period ended December 31, 2003.

Currently, the Oritani Savings Bank consolidated group uses the specific charge-off method to account for bad debt deductions for income tax purposes.

Taxable Distributions and Recapture. Prior to the 1996 Act, bad debt reserves created prior to January 1, 1988 were subject to recapture into taxable income should Oritani Savings Bank fail to meet certain thrift asset and definitional tests.

At June 30, 2007, our total federal pre-base year reserve was approximately $15.1 million. However, under current law, pre-base year reserves remain subject to recapture should Oritani Savings Bank make certain non-dividend distributions, repurchase any of its stock, pay dividends in excess of tax earnings and profits, or cease to maintain a bank charter.

Alternative Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) imposes an alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences (“alternative minimum taxable income” or “AMTI”). The AMT is payable to the extent such AMTI is in excess of an exemption amount and the AMT exceeds the regular income tax. Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of AMTI. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. Oritani Financial Corp. and Oritani Savings Bank have not been subject to the AMT and have no such amounts available as credits for carryover.

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards. A financial institution may carry back net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. At June 30, 2007, Oritani Savings Bank had no net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

State Taxation

New Jersey State Taxation. Oritani Savings Bank files New Jersey Corporation Business income tax returns. Generally, the income of savings institutions in New Jersey, which is calculated based on federal taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, is subject to New Jersey tax. Oritani Savings Bank is not currently under audit with respect to its New Jersey income tax returns and Oritani Savings Bank’s state tax returns have not been audited for the past five years. Oritani Savings Bank had a state tax net operating loss carryforward totaling $34.2 million at June 30, 2007, expiring between December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2013.

New Jersey tax law does not and has not allowed for a taxpayer to file a tax return on a combined or consolidated basis with another member of the affiliated group where there is common ownership. However, under recent tax legislation, if the taxpayer cannot demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the tax filing discloses the true earnings of the taxpayer on its business carried on in the State of New Jersey, the New Jersey Director of the Division of Taxation may, at the director’s discretion, require the taxpayer to file a consolidated return for the entire operations of the affiliated group or controlled group, including its own operations and income.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Future Changes in Interest Rates Could Reduce Our Profits.

Our ability to make a profit largely depends on our net interest income, which could be negatively affected by changes in interest rates. Net interest income is the difference between:

•

the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities; and

•

the interest expense we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings.

Although interest rates have recently been at historically low levels, since June 30, 2004, the U.S. Federal Reserve has increased its target for the federal funds rate 17 times, from 1.0% to 5.25%. While these short-term market interest rates (which we use as a guide to price our deposits) have increased, longer-term market interest rates (which we use as a guide to price our longer-term loans) have not increased to the same degree. This “flattening” of the market yield curve has had a negative impact on our interest rate spread and net interest margin, and if short-term interest rates continue to rise, and if rates on our deposits and borrowings continue to reprice upwards faster than the rates on our long-term loans and investments, we would continue to experience compression of our interest rate spread and net interest margin, which would have a negative effect on our profitability. Our average interest rate spread decreased 13 basis points to 2.29% at June 30, 2007 from 2.42% at June 30, 2006.

In addition, changes in interest rates can affect the average life of loans and mortgage-backed and related securities. A reduction in interest rates results in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, as borrowers refinance their debt in order to reduce their borrowing costs. This creates reinvestment risk, which is the risk that we may not be able to reinvest prepayments at rates that are comparable to the rates we earned on the prepaid loans or securities. Increases in interest rates may decrease loan demand and/or make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable rate loans.

Changes in interest rates also affect the current market value of our interest-earning securities portfolio. Generally, the value of securities moves inversely with changes in interest rates. At June 30, 2007, the fair value of our available for sale agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and corporate debt obligations totaled, $74.2 million. Unrealized net gains on these available for sale securities totaled approximately $27,000 at June 30, 2007

and are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Decreases in the fair value of securities available for sale in future periods would have an adverse effect on stockholders’ equity.

In addition, many of our Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances are callable, often five years from the date of issuance. To the extent the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York calls all or a portion of these advances, we would need to find another funding source, which might be more expensive to us than these advances.

We evaluate interest rate sensitivity by estimating the change in Oritani Savings Bank’s net portfolio value over a range of interest rate scenarios. Net portfolio value is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. At June 30, 2007, in the event of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the model projects that we would experience a $51.5 million, or 17.9%, decrease in net portfolio value. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Management of Market Risk.”

Our Continued Emphasis On Multi-Family and Commercial Real Estate Lending Could Expose Us To Increased Lending Risks.

Our business strategy centers on continuing our emphasis on multi-family and commercial real estate lending. We have grown our loan portfolio in recent years with respect to these types of loans and intend to continue to emphasize these types of lending. At June 30, 2007, $451.1 million, or 58.7%, of our total loan portfolio consisted of multi-family loans and commercial real estate loans. As a result, our credit risk profile will be higher than traditional thrift institutions that have higher concentrations of one- to four-family residential loans. Loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate generally expose a lender to greater risk of non-payment and loss than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans because repayment of the loans often depends on the successful operation of the property and the income stream of the underlying property. Additionally, such loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Accordingly, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family residential mortgage loan. We seek to minimize these risks through our underwriting policies, which require such loans to be qualified on the basis of the property’s collateral value, net income and debt service ratio; however, there is no assurance that our underwriting policies will protect us from credit-related losses.

The largest commercial real estate loan in our portfolio at June 30, 2007 was a $14.4 million loan located in Bergen County, New Jersey and secured by four multi-family apartment complexes. Our largest commercial real estate relationship consisted of properties located mainly in our primary market area with a real estate investor. The aggregate outstanding loan balance for this relationship is $30.1 million.

Our Direct Investments in Real Estate May Be Riskier than More Traditional Real Estate Loans.

Oritani Financial Corp. and Oritani Savings Bank each have formed companies that have invested directly in real estate. While these investments have provided us net income during the course of these investments, they are direct investments and represent a greater risk than loans. With loans, the borrower has an investment interest in the property that partially insulates the loan from the negative consequences of decreases in the property’s value. There is no such protection with a direct real estate investment. Any decline in performance of these investments may have an adverse effect on our net income.

A Downturn in the New Jersey Economy or a Decline in Real Estate Values Could Reduce Our Profits.

Nearly all of our real estate loans are secured by real estate in New Jersey. As a result of this concentration, a downturn in this market area could cause significant increases in nonperforming loans, which would reduce our profits. Additionally, a decrease in asset quality could require additions to our allowance for loan losses through increased provisions for loan losses, which would hurt our profits. In recent years, there have been significant increases in real estate values in our market area. As a result of rising home prices, our loans have been well collateralized. A decline in real estate values could cause some of our mortgage loans to become inadequately collateralized, which would expose us to a greater risk of loss. Similarly a decline in the local economy may have an adverse effect on the investment properties owned by Oritani Financial Corp. and Oritani Savings Bank.

Strong Competition Within Our Market Areas May Limit Our Growth and Profitability.

Competition in the banking and financial services industry is intense. In our market areas, we compete with commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and elsewhere. Some of our competitors have greater name recognition and market presence that benefit them in attracting business, and offer certain services that we do not or cannot provide. In addition, larger competitors may be able to price loans and deposits more aggressively than we do, which could affect our ability to grow and remain profitable on a long-term basis. Our profitability depends upon our continued ability to successfully compete in our market areas.

The FDIC has Issued New Rules on How it Imposes Deposit Insurance Assessments that Will Increase Our Deposit Insurance Assessments and May Reduce Our Income.

On November 2, 2006, the FDIC adopted final regulations establishing a risk-based assessment system that will enable the FDIC to more closely tie each financial institutions premiums to the risk it poses to the deposit insurance fund. Under the new risk-based assessment system, which became effective in the beginning of 2007, the FDIC will evaluate the risk of each financial institution based on three primary sources of information: (1) its supervisory rating, (2) its financial ratios, and (3) its long-term debt issuer rating, if the institution has one. The new rates for nearly all of the financial institution industry will vary between five and seven cents for every $100 of domestic deposits. This increased assessment may reduce our income.

If Our Allowance for Loan Losses is Not Sufficient to Cover Actual Loan Losses, Our Earnings Will Decrease.

We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, we review our loans and our loss and delinquency experience, and we evaluate economic conditions. If our assumptions are incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in our loan portfolio, resulting in additions to our allowance. While our allowance for loan losses was 1.15% of total loans at June 30, 2007, material additions to our allowance could materially decrease our net income.

In addition, bank regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs. Any increase in our allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities might have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

PROPERTIES

At June 30, 2007, the Company and the Bank conducted business from its corporate headquarters in Washington Township, New Jersey, and 18 full service branch offices located in Bergen and Union Counties, New Jersey. The aggregate net book value of premises and equipment was $8.4 million at June 30, 2007. During fiscal year 2006, the Company sold its branch location and former Corporate Headquarters in Hackensack, NJ to a private investor. The asset was transferred in December, 2005 and the Company initially accounted for the transaction as a finance obligation due to the Company’s continuing involvement with the transferred property. The Company leased back a portion of the premises and provided the buyer with non recourse financing. In accordance with finance obligation accounting, the asset was not removed from the Company’s books at that time. During fiscal year 2007, the non recourse note was sold to another financial institution which permitted the Company to utilize sale/leaseback accounting (as prescribed by FASB statement No. 98) for the transaction. As a result, the former headquarters was removed from the books of the Company and office properties and equipment, net decreased by $1.5 million.

The Board of Directors has the authority to declare cash dividends on shares of common stock, subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. However, no decision has been made with respect to the payment of cash dividends. In determining whether and in what amount to pay a cash dividend, the Board is expected to take into account a number of factors, including capital requirements, our consolidated financial condition and results of operations, tax considerations, statutory and regulatory limitations and general economic conditions. No assurances can be given that any cash dividends will be paid or that, if paid, will not be reduced or eliminated in the future.

The sources of funds for the payment of a cash dividend are the retained proceeds form the initial sale of shares of common stock and earnings on those proceeds, interest and principal payments with respect to Oritani Financial Corp.’s loan to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and dividends from Oritani Savings Bank. For a discussion of the limitations applicable to Oritani Savings Bank’s ability to pay dividends, see “Supervision and Regulation—Federal Banking Regulation.”

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is to operate as a well-capitalized and profitable financial institution dedicated to providing exceptional personal service to our individual and business customers. We cannot assure you that we will successfully implement our business strategy.

Highlights of our business strategy are discussed below:

Continuing to focus on multi-family and commercial real estate lending. Our primary business focus over the past three years has been the origination of multi-family and commercial real estate loans. We have focused on this type of lending because the interest rates earned for such loans are higher than the prevailing rates for residential loans, resulting in greater interest income potential. We are also able to generate significantly higher fee income on such loans. In addition, the repayment terms usually expose us to less interest rate risk than fixed-rate residential loans. We generally incorporate one or more of the following features into our terms for multi-family and commercial real estate loans, thereby decreasing their interest rate risk: interest rates reset after five years at a predetermined spread to treasury rates; minimum stated interest rates; balloon repayment date or maximum fixed-rate self-amortizing loan term of 20 years. Fixed-rate self-amortizing loans are generally only offered for loan amounts of $1.5 million or less. Finally, although multi-family and commercial real estate loans are also generally perceived within the industry to carry a greater amount of credit risk than residential loans, management believes that they have mitigated much of this credit through the underwriting process. While we have expanded our involvement in these loans over the past few years, we have been involved in multi-family lending for over thirty years. Over the past five years, we have assembled a department exclusively devoted to the origination and administration of multi-family and commercial real estate loans. There are presently five loan officers in the department as well as support staff. While our actual origination volume will depend upon market conditions, we intend to continue our emphasis on multi-family and commercial real estate loans.

Increasing the origination of second mortgage loans, thereby improving our interest rate risk profile. Fixed-rate second mortgage loans we offer have amortization terms of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years and the most popular term is 10 years. All of these loans require significant principal amortization each month. Since the principal received can be redeployed by us at then current market rates, the interest rate risk on such loans is minimized. Home equity lines of credit, which are included in second mortgage loan category, also have minimal interest rate risk because they adjust monthly based on the prime rate. We have historically had steady originations of these types of loans, primarily relying on newspaper advertisements and existing customers for their originations. We intend to expand our originations of these types of loans because management feels that the risk reward profile is favorable.

Supporting the expansion of our branch network through de novo branching. We have been seeking desirable branch locations within our existing footprint and contiguous neighborhoods. We have had market studies performed and identified specific areas for targeted expansion. We most recently opened a new branch in February 2004. Since that time we have closed two branches. In both of these instances, we had superior nearby locations and were able to transfer the vast majority of our deposits at the former locations to the nearby branches. We currently do not intend to close any additional branches. Conversely, it is our intention to expand our branch locations by opening de novo branch offices. Oritani Financial Corp. has received approval for development of a parcel of land in Emerson, New Jersey as a de novo branch location. We are also pursuing an additional Bergen County location for a de novo branch location. We also intend to continue to improve our existing facilities.

Increasing core deposits. Our total deposits have generally decreased since 2003. Although our total deposits increased in 2007 from 2006, our total deposits since 2003 have decreased $37.4 million. In an attempt to increase deposits, we have designed a number of products that are expected to increase core deposits and appeal to a younger customer base. In addition, we have invested in additional training for our branch personnel and will implement an improved branch incentive compensation program. The desired result of these objectives is to offer more competitive deposit products, better position the branch personnel to sell our products and to increase our core deposit level.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider accounting policies that require management to exercise significant judgment or discretion or to make significant assumptions that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income, to be critical accounting policies. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses that is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, we make significant estimates and, therefore, have identified the allowance as a critical accounting policy. The methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management because of the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions used, and the potential for changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses has been determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, under which we are required to maintain an allowance for probable losses at the balance sheet date. We are responsible for the timely and periodic determination of the amount of the allowance required. We believe that our allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover specifically identifiable losses, as well as estimated losses inherent in our portfolio for which certain losses are probable but not specifically identifiable.

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The analysis of the allowance for loan losses has two components: specific and general allocations. Specific allocations are made for loans that are classified. Management will identify loans that have demonstrated issues that cause concern regarding full collectibility in the required time frame. Delinquency is a key indicator of such issues. Management classifies such loans within the following industry standard categories: Special Mention; Substandard; Doubtful or Loss. In addition, a classified loan may be considered impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions, geographic concentrations, industry and peer comparisons. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general allocation. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market conditions. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan losses we have established, which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.

On a quarterly basis, the Chief Financial Officer reviews the current status of various loan assets in order to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In this evaluation process, specific loans are analyzed to determine their potential risk of loss. This process includes all loans, concentrating on non-accrual and classified loans. Each non-accrual or classified loan is evaluated for potential loss exposure. Any shortfall results in a recommendation of a specific allowance if the likelihood of loss is evaluated as probable. To determine the adequacy of collateral on a particular loan, an estimate of the fair market value of the collateral is based on the most current appraised value available. This appraised value is then reduced to reflect estimated liquidation expenses.

The results of this quarterly process are summarized along with recommendations and presented to executive management for their review. Based on these recommendations, loan loss allowances are approved by executive management. All supporting documentation with regard to the evaluation process, loan loss experience, allowance levels and the schedules of classified loans are maintained by the Chief Financial Officer. A summary of loan loss allowances is presented to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

We have a concentration of loans secured by real property located in New Jersey. As a substantial amount of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, appraisals of the underlying value of property securing loans are critical in determining the amount of the allowance required for specific loans. Assumptions for appraisal valuations

are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly impact the valuation of a property securing a loan and the related allowance determined. The assumptions supporting such appraisals are carefully reviewed by management to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans. Based on the composition of our loan portfolio, we believe the primary risks are increases in interest rates, a decline in the economy generally, and a decline in real estate market values in New Jersey. Any one or combination of these events may adversely affect our loan portfolio resulting in increased delinquencies, loan losses and future levels of loan loss provisions. We consider it important to maintain the ratio of our allowance for loan losses to total loans at an adequate level. Factors such as current economic conditions, interest rates, and the composition of the loan portfolio will effect our determination of the level of this ratio for any particular period.

Our allowance for loan losses in recent years reflects probable losses resulting from the actual growth in our loan portfolio. We believe the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at June 30, 2007 adequately reflects our portfolio credit risk, given our emphasis on multi-family and commercial real estate lending and current market conditions.

Although we believe we have established and maintained the allowance for loan losses at adequate levels, additions may be necessary if future economic and other conditions differ substantially from the current operating environment. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on its judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Deferred Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. If current available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance may be established. We consider the determination of this valuation allowance to be a critical accounting policy because of the need to exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets, including projections of future taxable income. These judgments and estimates are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets may be required if the amounts of taxes recoverable through loss carry backs decline, or if we project lower levels of future taxable income. Such a valuation allowance would be established through a charge to income tax expense that would adversely affect our operating results.

Asset Impairment Judgments. Some of our assets are carried on our consolidated balance sheets at cost, fair value or at the lower of cost or fair value. Valuation allowances or write-downs are established when necessary to recognize impairment of such assets. We periodically perform analyses to test for impairment of such assets. In addition to the impairment analyses related to our loans discussed above, another significant impairment analysis is the determination of whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in the value of one or more of our securities.

Our available-for-sale securities portfolio is carried at estimated fair value, with any unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in stockholders’ equity. Our held-to-maturity securities portfolio, consisting of debt securities for which we have a positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, is carried at amortized cost. We conduct a periodic review and evaluation of the securities portfolio to determine if the value of any security has declined below its cost or amortized cost, and whether such decline is other-than-temporary. If such decline is deemed other-than-temporary, we would adjust the cost basis of the security by writing down the security to fair market value through a charge to current period operations.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006

Total Assets. Total assets increased $163.0 million, or 15.8%, to $1.19 billion at June 30, 2007, from $1.03 billion at June 30, 2006. The increase is primarily due to the increase in capital from the stock offering as well as increased borrowings. These funds were primarily deployed in loans and fed funds.

Cash And Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents (which include fed funds and short term investments) increased $56.3 million to $63.5 million at June 30, 2007, from $7.3 million at June 30, 2006. Over the year, the Company’s principal focus was on loan originations. The majority of the remaining available funds were invested in fed funds and short term investments. As described below under “interest income” and “net interest income,” the Company has maintained high balances in this category primarily due to the inverted yield curve.

Loans, net. The largest asset increase occurred in loans, net. Loans, net increased $115.5 million, or 18.0%, to $758.5 million at June 30, 2007, from $643.1 million at June 30, 2006. The Company continued its emphasis on loan originations, particularly multifamily and commercial real estate loans. Loan originations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $214.0 million and an additional $7.0 million of loans were purchased.

Securities Held to Maturity. Securities held to maturity decreased $8.0 million, or 59.6%, to $5.4 million at June 30, 2007, from $13.4 million at June 30, 2006. The decrease was due to maturities partially offset by purchases of $5.0 million.

Securities Available For Sale. Securities available for sale increased $24.9 million to $35.4 million at June 30, 2007, from $10.5 million at June 30, 2006. The increase was due to purchases of $35.0 million partially offset by maturities, calls and amortization.

Mortgage Backed Securities Held to Maturity. Mortgage backed securities held to maturity decreased $57.3 million, or 20.9%, to $217.4 million at June 30, 2007, from $274.7 million at June 30, 2006. The decrease was due to prepayments and principal amortization partially offset by purchases of $4.9 million.

Mortgage Backed Securities Available For Sale. Mortgage backed securities available for sale increased $21.4 million to $38.8 million at June 30, 2007, from $17.4 million at June 30, 2006. The increase was due to purchases of $27.0 million partially offset by prepayments and principal amortization.

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB-NY”) stock. FHLB-NY stock increased $1.3 million, or 13.4%, to $10.6 million at June 30, 2007, from $9.4 million at June 30, 2006. Additional purchases of this stock were required due to additional advances obtained from FHLB-NY.

Office properties and equipment, net. Office properties and equipment, net decreased $1.8 million, or 17.8%, to $8.4 million at June 30, 2007, from $10.2 million at June 30, 2006. This decrease is primarily due to the sale of the Company’s former headquarters which decreased office properties and equipment, net by $1.5 million.

Other Assets. Other assets increased, to $17.3 million at June 30, 2007 from $8.8 million at June 30, 2006. The majority of this increase is due to the reversal of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Additional details regarding the transition are discussed in the “Comparison of Operating Results for Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.”

Deposits. Deposits increased $7.1 million, or 1.0%, to $695.8 million at June 30, 2007, from $688.6 million at June 30, 2006. Deposit growth has been difficult, but results for the current fiscal year have reversed a recent trend of deposit erosion.

Borrowings. Borrowings increased $26.9 million, or 15.8%, to $196.7 million at June 30, 2007, from $169.8 million at June 30, 2006. The Company committed to various advances from the FHLB-NY over the period with terms considered to be favorable.

Stockholders’ equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $122.4 million, or 81.5%, to $272.6 million at June 30, 2007, from $150.1 million at June 30, 2006. The net proceeds from the stock offering, after deductions for the unallocated stock held by the ESOP, were $112.3 million. The balance of the increase is primarily due to net income for the period.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006

Net Income. Net income increased $2.6 million, or 30.4%, to $11.0 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, versus $8.5 million for the corresponding 2006 period. There were several non-recurring items that affected the Company’s results of operations in 2007. Earnings were negatively impacted due to a $9.1 million pre-tax charitable contribution to the OritaniSavingsBank Charitable Foundation. This contribution occurred in conjunction with the Company’s initial public offering. Earnings were positively impacted by three other non-recurring items:

1) The reversal of a previously established deferred tax asset valuation allowance. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company decided to liquidate one of its subsidiaries. The liquidation of this subsidiary will result in an increase in future New Jersey State taxable income at its Bank subsidiary. The Company had previously established a valuation allowance for New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards incurred at its Bank subsidiary. Due to the expected utilization of the loss carryforwards in the foreseeable future the related valuation allowance of $3.2 million was reversed.

2) The reinvestment of the proceeds related to the subscription stock offering, including oversubscriptions. Such funds were invested in short term investments and the difference between the interest earned and the interest paid positively impacted earnings.

3) The recognition of a pre-tax gain of $514,000 regarding the previous transfer of the Company’s former headquarters in Hackensack, NJ. This transaction is discussed further in “Other Income.”

Total interest income. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, total interest income increased by $12.1 million, or 23.5%, to $63.3 million, from $51.3 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The largest increase was in interest on mortgage loans while interest on most investment related categories decreased. Interest on mortgage loans increased by $8.1 million, or 22.3%, to $44.3 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, from $36.2 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The average balance of the loan portfolio increased $70.8 million and the yield on the portfolio increased 57 basis points. The market rate for new originations allowed the Company to increase the overall yield on the portfolio. Interest on the captions of securities HTM, securities AFS, MBS HTM and MBS AFS decreased by $2.8 million, or 18.5%, to $12.2 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, from $15.0 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was due to a decrease in the combined average balance of $80.7 million partially offset by an increase in yield. Interest on federal funds sold and short term investments increased to $6.8 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, from $82,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The increase is related to a $125.3 million increase in the average balance and an increase in yield of 102 basis points. The increase in the average balance of fed funds sold and short term investments is primarily attributable to proceeds from the stock offering. The Company has maintained relatively high balances in liquid investments as the available returns on longer lived assets have, thus far, been deemed insufficient to justify significant investment.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased by $9.3 million, or 39.6%, to $32.8 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, from $23.5 million for the corresponding 2006 period. Interest expense on deposits and stock subscription proceeds increased by $7.2 million, or 43.7%, to $23.7 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, from $16.5 million for the corresponding 2006 period. The 2007 results for this caption include $517,000 of interest paid on stock subscription proceeds. The average balance of deposits increased $49.0 million and the cost increased 81 basis points. The vast majority of the increase in the average balance of deposits was due to stock subscription proceeds, which had an average balance of $48.4 million for the year. Interest expense on borrowings increased by $2.1 million, or 29.9%, to $9.1 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, from $7.0 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The average balance of borrowings increased $35.2 million and the cost increased 33 basis points. Interest expense continues to be affected by the current interest rate environment. Short term rates have increased, and the Bank has increased rates on deposit products in order to minimize outflows and attract new deposit accounts. Borrowings have increased in order to fund asset growth.

Net interest income. Net interest income increased by $2.8 million, or 10.0%, to $30.5 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, from $27.8 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. Net interest income

was negatively impacted by the current interest rate environment. Typically, the Company’s interest income is influenced by longer term interest rates while the Company’s interest expense is influenced by shorter term interest rates. The interest rate yield curve remained inverted for the majority of the fiscal year, meaning that short term market interest rates were higher than long term rates. This unusual situation has persisted and negatively impacted the Company’s ability to maximize the spread between its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which ultimately impacts profitability. Although the inverted yield curve has been recently somewhat mitigated, overnight rates continue to be higher than long term rates. The Company has offset some of the effect of the inverted yield curve by redeploying the cash flows from its investment security and MBS portfolios into higher yielding loans. The effect of the inverted yield curve has been further negated due to the Company’s ability to redeploy the funds from the subscription and stock offering into short term investments and realize a positive spread as compared to the interest expense paid on these funds. The capital raised from the stock offering also positively impacted the Company’s net interest margin as these funds do not generate a related interest expense. Because of the inverted yield curve, the Company has maintained relatively high balances in short term liquid assets. The returns on such assets have been only slightly less than the available returns on longer term assets, with significantly less interest rate risk. Longer term rates have increased at various times over the past four months and the Company has used those periods as opportunities to deploy limited funds in longer term investments.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $1.2 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $1.5 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. There were no recoveries or charge-offs in either period and delinquencies were minimal. The primary reason for the decrease in the provision for the year ending June 30, 2007, as compared to the prior year, was a decrease in the amount of loan growth. Loans, net increased $115.5 million during the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 and $149.5 million during the twelve months ended June 30, 2006.

Other Income. Other income increased by $749,000, or 16.4%, to $5.3 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, from $4.6 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The 2006 period includes a $799,000 gain on the sale of a former branch building and also includes an impairment charge of $355,000 recognized on an investment that we considered to be other than temporarily impaired. The 2007 period includes a $514,000 gain regarding the transfer of the Company’s former headquarters in Hackensack, NJ. Although this asset was sold in December, 2005 the Company could not account for the transaction as a sale due to the Company’s continuing involvement with the sold property in the form of a non-recourse note. The subsequent sale of the non-recourse note during the March 31, 2007 quarter permitted the Company to utilize sale/leaseback accounting in accordance with FASB Statement No. 98, causing a portion of the gain to be recognized. The transaction was previously accounted for as a finance obligation. Income from investments in real estate joint ventures and real estate operations, net increased $271,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 versus the corresponding 2006 period. The income reported in this caption is dependent upon the operations of various properties and is subject to fluctuation. The 2007 period also included a $113,000 increase in income on bank-owned life insurance and a $219,000 increase in the “other” caption within other income. The increase in this caption was primarily due to float earnings on the oversubscription funds returned to subscribers.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased by $7.7 million, or 44.1%, to $25.2 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, from $17.5 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The primary reason for the increase was the $9.1 million contribution to the OritaniSavingsBank Charitable Foundation. This contribution was executed in conjunction with the stock offering and was detailed in the Company’s prospectus. Compensation, payroll taxes and fringe benefits decreased by $1.0 million, or 8.3%, to $11.2 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, from $12.2 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The 2006 expenses in this caption were higher due to costs associated with the Company’s retirement plans, particularly the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. The decreased retirement plan expenses were partially offset by normal increases in compensation. Office occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $445,000, or 22.0%, to $1.6 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, from $2.0 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to decreased real estate tax expense, as well as smaller decreases in depreciation and maintenance expenses, and snow removal expenses. The decreased real estate tax expense was primarily due to successful appeals of assessed values.

Income Taxes. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, income tax benefit of $1.7 million was recognized against pre-tax income of $9.4 million. The tax benefit was due to the $3.2 million valuation allowance reversal discussed under “Net Income,” as well as a decreased effective tax rate. The contribution to OritaniSavingsBank

Charitable Foundation resulted in a decrease in the effective tax rate for 2007. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2006, income tax expense of $4.8 million was recorded against pre-tax income of $13.3 million.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005

Net Income. Net income decreased $498,000, or 5.6%, to $8.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 versus $9.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The primary reasons for the decrease were higher operating expenses and provisions for loan losses in 2006, partially offset by increased other income.

Total Interest Income. Total interest income increased $4.8 million, or 10.4%, to $51.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 versus $46.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The primary factor contributing to this increase was interest income on mortgage loans. Interest income on loans increased $9.9 million, or 37.4%, in fiscal 2006, due to a $167.1 million increase in the average balance of loans as well as a 3 basis point increase in the average yield. The increase in the average balance was due to originations of $232.9 million, partially offset by principal amortizations and prepayments of $88.1 million. The increase in interest on mortgage loans was partially offset by decreases in interest on securities available for sale, mortgage backed securities held to maturity, and mortgage backed securities available for sale, as the average balance of these assets decreased $158.7 million from June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $5.2 million, or 28.2%, to $23.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 versus $18.3 million for the prior year period. The majority of the increase, or $4.5 million, was attributable to interest expense on deposits resulting from higher market interest rates. The average cost of deposits increased 68 basis points from June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006, offset partially by a decrease in average balance of $15.1 million. Additionally, interest expense on borrowings increased due to a $10.4 million increase in the average balance and an 18 basis point increase in cost.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses increased $700,000, or 87.5%, to $1.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to $800,000 for the prior year period. The increase in our allowance for loan losses reflected the overall growth of our loan portfolio, especially the increased origination in our commercial real estate and multi-family portfolio.

Other Income. Other income increased $2.9 million, or 174.2%, to $4.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 versus $1.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The primary reason for this increase was that in fiscal 2005 we recognized an impairment charge of $1.2 million regarding an investment which was considered as other than temporarily impaired as compared to an impairment charge of $355,000 during fiscal 2006. Additionally, in fiscal 2006, we recognized a one-time gain of $799,000 on the sale of a former branch building. Further, we realized an increase of $608,000 in bank owned life insurance for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily due to the increase in average balance of our bank owned life insurance contracts during 2006 as compared to 2005, when we had the contracts on our books for only a partial year.

Total Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased $2.7 million, or 18.4%, to $17.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $14.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2005. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $2.7 million, or 27.8%, to $12.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $9.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2005, in compensation, payroll taxes and fringe benefits, resulting from increased payroll costs and expenses for retirement and other benefit plans. Most significantly, the expenses associated with Oritani Savings Bank’s Defined Benefit Pension Plan increased to $2.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 from $806,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005 due to the increased contribution by Oritani Savings Bank to this pension plan in 2006.

Average Balances and Yields. The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the fiscal years indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total increase (decrease) column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which can not be segregated have been allocated to volume.

Management of Market Risk

General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has the authority and responsibility for managing interest rate risk. Oritani Savings Bank has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee, comprised of its President, Senior Vice President, Senior Vice President-Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President-Commercial Lending, Vice President-Mortgage Lending and Vice President-Branch Administration, which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for recommending to the Board the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. The Asset/Liability Management Committee reports to the Board on a quarterly basis.

We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. As part of our ongoing asset-liability management, we currently use the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:

(i)

originating multi-family and commercial real estate loans that generally tend to have shorter interest duration and generally reset at five years;

(ii)

investing in shorter duration securities and mortgage-backed securities; and

(iii)

obtaining general financing through longer-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances with call options that are considered unlikely.

Shortening the average maturity of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term loans and securities, as well as loans and securities with variable rates of interest, helps to better match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. By following these strategies, we believe that we are well-positioned to react to increases in market interest rates.

Net Portfolio Value. We compute the amounts by which our net present value of cash flow from assets, liabilities and off balance sheet items (the institution’s net portfolio value or “NPV”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below.

The table below sets forth, as of June 30, 2007, the estimated changes in our net portfolio value that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the United States Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates and loan prepayment and deposit decay rates, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.


Change in Interest Rates (basis points) (1)	Estimated NPV (2)		Estimated Increase (Decrease) in NPV					NPV as a Percentage of Present Value of Assets (3)
			Estimated Increase (Decrease) in NPV					NPV Ratio (4)		Increase (Decrease) (basis points)
			Amount			Percent		NPV Ratio (4)		Increase (Decrease) (basis points)
	(Dollars in thousands)
+300	$	203,002	$	(84,523	)	(29.4	)%	19.02	%	(550	)
+200		236,055		(51,470	)	(17.9	)	21.39		(314	)
+100		265,515		(22,010	)	(7.7	)	23.3		(123	)
0		287,525		—		—		24.53		—
-100		305,870		18,345		6.4		25.39		86

(1)	Assumes an instantaneous uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.

(2)	NPV is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts.

(3)	Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets.

(4)	NPV Ratio represents NPV divided by the present value of assets.

The table above indicates that at June 30, 2007, in the event of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 7.7% decrease in net portfolio value. In the event of a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 17.9% decrease in net portfolio value. These changes in net portfolio value are within the limitations established in our asset and liability management policies.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in net portfolio value require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the net portfolio value table presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net portfolio value table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities and sales of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We seek to maintain a liquidity ratio of 2.0% of deposits or greater. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, our liquidity ratio averaged 18.1%.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of:

(i)

expected loan demand;

(ii)

expected deposit flows;

(iii)

yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and

(iv)

the objectives of our asset/liability management program.

Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2007, cash and cash equivalents totaled $63.5 million. Securities and mortgage-backed securities classified as available for sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $74.2 million at June 30, 2007. In addition, at June 30, 2007, we had the ability to borrow a total of $79.6 million through a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, and also had the ability to borrow additional funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York by pledging securities. The book value of unencumbered securities available to pledge at June 30, 2007 was $62.5 million. These amounts are in addition to the amounts outstanding at June 30, 2007. On that date, we had $196.7 million in advances outstanding.

Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

At June 30, 2007, we had $48.8 million in loan commitments outstanding. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $66.1 million in unused lines of credit to borrowers. Time deposits due within one year of June 30, 2007 totaled $383.3 million, or 55.1% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other time deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the time deposits. We believe, however, based on past experience, that a significant portion of our time deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Our primary investing activity currently is the origination of loans and the purchase of loans and securities. During the year ended June 30, 2007, we originated $241.4 million of loans, purchased $7.0 million of loans, and purchased $71.9 million of securities. During the year ended June 30, 2006, we originated $232.9 million of loans, purchased $5.5 million of loans, and did not purchase any securities.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. We experienced a net increase in total deposits of $7.1 million versus a net decrease of $14.3 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, which provide an additional source of funds. Federal Home Loan Bank advances reflected a net increase of $26.9 million and a net decrease of $12.8 million during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Federal Home Loan Bank advances have primarily been used to fund loan demand and provide longer-term sources of funding.

Oritani Savings Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At June 30, 2007, Oritani Savings Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. Oritani Savings Bank is considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. See “Supervision and Regulation-Federal Banking Regulation-Capital Requirements” and Note 15 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The net proceeds from the stock offering significantly increased our liquidity and capital resources. The initial level of liquidity provided by the stock offering has been reduced over the year as they were deployed for general corporate purposes, including the funding of loans. Our financial condition and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, enhanced by the net proceeds from the stock offering, primarily be positively impacting net interest-earning assets and net income. However, due to the increased equity resulting from the net proceeds raised in the stock offering, return on equity has been, and will continue to be, negatively impacted by the stock offering.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. We consider commitments to extend credit in determining our allowance for loan losses. For additional information, see Note 3, “Loans,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include operating leases for premises and equipment.

The following table summarizes our significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations and other funding needs by payment date at June 30, 2007. The payment amounts represent those amounts due to the recipient and do not include any unamortized premiums or discounts or other similar carrying amount adjustments.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors

Oritani Financial Corp.

Township of Washington, New Jersey:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oritani Financial Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oritani Financial Corp. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are comprised of the accounts of Oritani Financial Corp. (the Company), and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Oritani Savings Bank (the Bank); Hampshire Financial, LLC, and Oritani, LLC, and the wholly owned subsidiaries of Oritani Savings Bank, Oritani Financial Services, Inc. (inactive), Ormon LLC (Ormon), and Oritani Holding Company (liquidated), as well as its wholly owned subsidiary, Oritani Asset Corporation (a real estate investment trust), collectively, the Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Business

The Company provides a wide range of banking services to individual and some corporate customers in New Jersey. The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions and to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

The following are the significant accounting policies which were followed in preparing and presenting these consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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 date of the balance sheets and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly 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 and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management generally obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

A substantial portion of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate in the New Jersey market. In addition, a substantial portion of real estate joint ventures and real estate owned are located in that same market. Accordingly, as with most financial institutions in the market area, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the Company’s loan portfolio and the recovery of the carrying amount of real estate joint ventures and real estate owned are susceptible to changes in market conditions.

Securities

Securities include debt, mortgage-backed and marketable equity securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of securities as either available for sale or held to maturity at the purchase date. Securities that may be sold in response to changing market and interest rate conditions or as part of an overall asset/liability strategy are classified as available for sale. Gains or losses on sales of securities available for sale are based upon the specific-identification method. Securities classified as available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses net of applicable taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of equity. If management has the intent and the ability at the time of purchase to hold securities

ORITANI FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Township of Washington, New Jersey

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

until maturity, they are classified as held to maturity. Securities held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for unamortized purchase premiums and discounts. Premiums and discounts on securities are accreted or amortized using the level-yield method over the estimated lives of the securities, including the effect of prepayments. Any portion of unrealized loss on an individual security deemed to be other than temporary is recognized as a loss in operations in the period in which such determination is made. In the ordinary course of business, securities are occasionally pledged as collateral in conjunction with the Company’s borrowings and lines of credit.

Loans

Mortgages on real estate and other loans are stated at the outstanding principal amount of the loans, net of deferred loan fees/costs and the allowance for loan losses. Loan origination and commitment fees, net of related costs, are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to the loan’s yield, utilizing the level yield method, over the actual lives of the related loans. Interest income on loans is accrued and credited to interest income as earned. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they become delinquent 90 days or more as to principal or interest, or when it appears that principal or interest is uncollectible. Interest accrued prior to a loan being placed on nonaccrual status is subsequently reversed. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only in the period it is ultimately collected. Loans are returned to an accrual status when factors indicating doubtful collectibility no longer exist. Loans are generally charged off after an analysis is completed which indicates collectibility of principal and interest is in doubt.

The Company has defined the population of impaired loans to be all multifamily and commercial mortgage loans which are delinquent 90 days or more. Impaired loans are individually assessed to determine that each loan’s carrying value is not in excess of the fair value of the related collateral or the present value of the expected future cash flows. Residential mortgage and consumer loans are deemed smaller balance homogeneous loans which are evaluated collectively for impairment and are therefore excluded from the population of impaired loans.

Consumer loans and any portion of residential real estate mortgage loans not adequately secured are generally charged off when deemed to be uncollectible unless it can be clearly demonstrated that repayment will occur regardless of the delinquency status. Examples that would demonstrate repayment include; a loan that is secured by collateral and is in the process of collection; a loan supported by a valid guarantee or insurance; or a loan supported by a valid claim against a solvent estate. Charge-offs of commercial real estate mortgage loans are made on the basis of management’s ongoing evaluation of nonperforming loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

An allowance for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s evaluation of the probable losses inherent in its portfolio. Such evaluation includes a review of all loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured and considers, among other matters, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions and other matters which warrant consideration. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions in the Company’s market area. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Real Estate Owned

Real estate owned acquired through foreclosure is carried at fair value, less estimated selling costs at the time of acquisition. Fair value is derived from independent appraisals. When a property is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. During the holding period, the property is periodically reviewed and the recorded value is adjusted through operations, if necessary, if the carrying value of the property exceeds the fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Bank-owned life insurance is accounted for using the cash surrender value method and is recorded at its realizable value. The change in the cash surrender value is included in other noninterest income.

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock

The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB), is required to hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB in an amount based on the Bank’s total investment in mortgage related assets and advances. The requirement pertaining to mortgage related assets is a range from 0.10% to 0.25% of mortgage related assets, and is currently equal to 0.20%. The requirement pertaining to advances is a range from 4.0% to 5.0% of total advances, and is currently equal to 4.5%. The stock is carried at cost.

Investments in Real Estate Joint Ventures, Net

The Company accounts for investments in joint ventures under the equity method. The balance reflects the cost basis of investments, plus the Company’s share of income earned on the joint venture operations, less cash distributions, including excess cash distributions, and the Company’s share of losses on joint venture operations. Cash received in excess of the Company’s recorded investment in a joint venture is recorded as unearned revenue in other liabilities.

Real Estate Held for Investment

Real estate held for investment includes the Company’s undivided interest in real estate properties accounted for under the equity method and properties held for investment purposes. Cash received in excess of the Company’s recorded investment for an undivided interest in real estate property is recorded as unearned revenue in other liabilities. The operations of the properties held for investment purposes are reflected in the financial results of the Company and included in the Other Income caption in the Income Statement. Properties held for investment purposes are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Office Properties and Equipment

Office properties and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of office properties and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The Company uses the following estimated useful lives for its office properties and equipment categories: land improvements – 15 years; building and major building improvements – 40 years; minor building improvements – 10 years and furniture and fixtures – 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining life of the lease or the useful life of the improvement.

Employee Benefit Plans

The Bank has a defined benefit pension plan which covers all employees who satisfy the eligibility requirements. The Bank participates in a multi-employer plan. Costs of the pension plan are based on the contribution required to be made to the program. The Bank’s policy is to fund at least the minimum contribution required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

The Bank has a 401(k) savings incentive plan covering substantially all employees of the Bank. The Bank may match a percentage of the first 6% of employee contributions. The contribution percentage is determined annually by the Board of Directors.

The employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position No. 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.” The funds borrowed by the ESOP from the Company to purchase the Company’s common stock will be repaid from the Bank’s contributions over a period of up to 20 years. The Company’s common stock not yet allocated to participants is recorded as a reduction of stockholders’ equity at cost. Compensation expense for the ESOP is based on the market price of the Company’s stock and is recognized as shares committed to be released to participants.

The Bank has a Supplemental Retirement Income Agreement (SERP). The SERP is a nonqualified, defined benefit plan which provides benefits to an executive officer of the Bank. The Bank also has a nonqualified, defined benefit plan which provides benefits to its directors. The SERP and the directors’ plan are unfunded and the costs of the plans are recognized over the period that services are provided.

The Bank provides post-retirement healthcare benefits to directors and certain retired employees. Accordingly, the Bank accrues the cost of retiree healthcare during the employee’s period of active service.

In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) became law in the United States. The Act introduces a prescriptions drug benefit under Medicare as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree healthcare benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to the Medicare benefit. The Bank has determined that the valuation of its benefit plans with post-retirement healthcare benefits has not been affected by the Act.

As discussed in Note 13, the Company adopted SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R” as of June 30, 2007. This statement requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial condition the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the date of its year-end balance sheet and (c) recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits that arise during the period. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end balance sheet will be effective for the Company as of June 30, 2009.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Income Taxes

The Company records income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” as amended, using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities: (i) are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns; (ii) are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases; and (iii) are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Where applicable, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance for any portions determined not likely to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period of enactment. The valuation allowance is adjusted, by a charge or credit to income tax expense, as changes in facts and circumstances warrant.

Comprehensive Income (loss)

Comprehensive income is divided into net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items recorded directly to equity, such as unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale. Comprehensive income is presented in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income (from January 23, 2007 to June 30, 2007, the period during which the common stock was outstanding) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding includes the average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including shares held by Oritani Financial Corp., MHC and allocated or committed to be released Employee Stock Ownership Plan shares.

Diluted earnings per share is computed using the same method as basic earnings per share, but reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised and converted into common stock. These potentially dilutive shares would then be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method. As of June 30, 2007, no dilutive securities were outstanding.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform with the 2007 presentation.

Stock Offering

The Company completed its initial public stock offering on January 23, 2007. The Company sold 12,165,649 shares, or 30.0% of its outstanding common stock, to subscribers in the offering, including 1,589,644 shares purchased by the Oritani Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). Oritani Financial Corp., MHC, the Company’s federally chartered mutual holding company parent holds 27,575,476 shares, or 68.0% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Additionally, the Bank contributed $1.0 million in cash, and the Company issued 811,037 shares of common stock, or 2.0% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, to the OritaniSavingsBank Charitable Foundation. This action resulted in a $9.1 million pre-tax expense recorded in the

Township of Washington, New Jersey

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

quarter ended March 31, 2007. Proceeds from the offering, including the value of shares issued to the charitable foundation but net of expenses, were $127.6 million. Net deployable funds, after deducting for the ESOP shares and the total contribution to the charitable foundation, were $102.6 million. The Company contributed $59.7 million of the proceeds to Oritani Savings Bank. Stock oversubscription proceeds of $323.4 million were returned to subscribers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks and federal funds sold and short term investments which are generally sold for one-day periods.

Loans

A comparative summary of loans at June 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company had fixed-rate mortgage commitments of $23,925,000 and $9,341,000 respectively, and variable-rate mortgage commitments of $24,844,000 and $46,169,000, respectively, which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The rate range of the fixed rate commitments at June 30, 2007 was 5.625% to 7.13%. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. There is no exposure to credit loss in the event the other party does not exercise its right to borrow under the commitment.

The Company grants residential real estate loans on single- and multifamily dwellings principally throughout the state of New Jersey and has previously purchased out-of-state residential mortgage pools. Its borrowers’ abilities to repay their obligations are dependent upon various factors, including the borrowers’ income and net worth, cash flows generated by the underlying collateral, value of the underlying collateral and priority of the Company’s lien on the property. Such factors are dependent upon various economic conditions and individual circumstances beyond the

ORITANI FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Township of Washington, New Jersey

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Company’s control; the Company is therefore subject to risk of loss. The Company believes that its lending policies and procedures adequately minimize the potential exposure to such risks and that adequate provisions for losses are provided for all known and inherent risks. Collateral and/or guarantees are required for all loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Activity in the allowance for loan losses is summarized as follows:


	2007		2006	2005
	(In thousands)
Balance at beginning of year	$	7,672	6,172	5,372

Recoveries		—	—	—
Loans charged off		—	—	—

Balance at end of year	$	8,882	7,672	6,172

Included in loans are loans for which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrowers. There were no nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2007. The principal amount of nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $458,000 and $191,000, respectively. If the nonaccrual loans had performed in accordance with their original terms, interest income would have increased by $25,000 and $12,000 for the years ended June 30, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

The Company has defined its population of loans considered to be impaired to be all multifamily and commercial mortgage loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status. There were no impaired loans at June 30, 2007 and 2005. There was one loan that met such definition as of June 30, 2006. This loan had a balance of $341,000, was collateral dependent and had an allocation in the allowance for loan losses of $34,000. Interest income recognized on this loan for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $4,000.

The unrealized losses on debt securities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the declines in market value are attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other than temporarily impaired.

The unrealized losses on investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of these securities are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and Freddie Mac. The majority of the contractual cash flows of the CMO’s are guaranteed by these agencies as well. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other than temporarily impaired.

The unrealized losses on investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other than temporarily impaired.

During fiscal year 2006, the Company sold its branch location and former Corporate Headquarters in Hackensack, NJ to a private investor. The asset was transferred in December, 2005 and the Company initially accounted for the transaction as a finance obligation due to the Company’s continuing involvement with the transferred property. The Company leased back a portion of the premises and provided the buyer with non recourse financing. In accordance with finance obligation accounting, the asset was not removed from the Company’s books at that time. During fiscal year 2007, the non recourse note was sold to another financial institution which permitted the Company to utilize sale/leaseback accounting (as prescribed by FASB statement No. 98) for the transaction. As a result, the former headquarters was removed from the books of the Company and office properties and equipment, net decreased by $1.5 million. In accordance with this guidance, $514,000 of the gain on the sale was recognized and the remaining deferred gain of $519,000 will be recognized ratably over the remaining term of the lease. The Company had recorded the finance obligation as part of other borrowings which amounted to $467,616 at June 30, 2006 and was extinguished concurrent with the sale of the property subject to the sale/leaseback during the 2007 fiscal year.

In addition, during fiscal year 2006, the Company sold a former branch location resulting in a net gain before taxes of $799,420.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

Net deferred tax asset	$	16,002	6,175	5,199

Sources of deferred taxes for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were due primarily to the difference in recognizing income and expenses for book purposes and tax purposes for various deferred loan fees, uncollected interest on loans, accrued benefit costs, book and tax depreciation, nonallowable reserves and charitable contribution carryforwards.

At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $37,465,000 and $35,277,000, respectively, having expiration dates ranging from December 2010 through 2013. Based upon projections of future taxable income for the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to de deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the deferred tax asset.

At June 30, 2007, the valuation allowance was $552,000 and relates to the stock contribution to the charitable foundation for which tax benefits are not more likely than not to be realized. At June 30, 2006, the valuation allowance was $4,361,000 and relates to tax benefits associated with state net operating loss carryforwards, minimum tax assessments and a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets for which tax benefits are not more likely than not to be realized. During the 2007 fiscal year the Company liquidated one of its subsidiaries. The liquidation of this subsidiary will result in an increase in future New Jersey State taxable income at its Bank subsidiary. The Company had previously established a valuation allowance for New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards and

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

other deferred tax assets incurred at its Bank subsidiary. Due to the expected utilization of the loss carryforwards in the foreseeable future the related valuation allowance of $3.2 million was reversed.

Retained earnings at June 30, 2007 includes approximately $15.1 million for which no provision for income tax has been made. This amount represents an allocation of income to bad debt deductions for tax purposes only. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, this amount is treated as a permanent difference and deferred taxes are not recognized unless it appears that it will be reduced and result in taxable income in the foreseeable future. Events that would result in taxation of these reserves include failure to qualify as a bank for tax purposes, distributions in complete or partial liquidation, stock redemptions and excess distributions to shareholders. At June 30, 2007, the Company had an unrecognized tax liability of $6.3 million with respect to this reserve.

These put options can be exercised by the FHLB after either a certain passage of time or certain levels of the 3 month Libor interest rate. The Company expects that some of these advances will be put by the FHLB prior to their maturity date.

Employee Benefit Plans

As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” effective June 30, 2007. SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial condition the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the date of its year-end statement of financial condition and (c) recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits that arise during the period. SFAS No. 158 does not change how an employer determines the amount of net periodic benefit cost. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 at June 30, 2007 resulted in a $1,076,000 charge against other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The following table shows the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 158 on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007 (in thousands):

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Financial Institutions Retirement Fund does not segregate its assets, liabilities or costs by participating employer. Therefore, disclosure of the accumulated benefit obligations, plan assets and the components of annual pension expense attributable to the Company cannot be ascertained.

The Company has a savings incentive plan covering substantially all employees of the Company. Contributions are currently made by the Company in an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of employee contributions. The contribution percentage is determined annually by the Board of Directors.

Contributions to the nonqualified savings incentive plan are currently made by the Company in an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of employee contributions to this plan. The contribution percentage is determined annually by the Board of Directors. The deferrals and contributions are payable, with interest, at a future date. Until these payments are made, the obligations to the employees are a general liability of the Company. Company contributions for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $21,000, $21,000 and $17,000, respectively.

Under the Deferred Fee Plan, directors may elect to defer the receipt of their monthly and board committee fees. The fees are payable, with interest, at a predetermined future date. Interest is calculated at the greater of 9.00% or the Wall Street prime rate of interest. For the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, interest was calculated at 9.00%. Until these payments are made, the obligations to the directors are a general liability of the Company.

The Company recorded expenses of $648,000, $498,000 and $192,000 for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to the SERP. The SERP is unfunded, and an accrued liability of $1.3 million and $690,000 was recorded for this plan as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

During 2006, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the ESOP). The ESOP is a tax-qualified plan designed to invest primarily in the Company’s common stock. The ESOP provides employees with the opportunity to receive a funded retirement benefit from the Bank, based primarily on the value of the Company’s common stock. The ESOP was authorized to purchase, and did purchase, 1,589,644 shares of the Company’s common stock in the Company’s initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per share. This purchase was funded with a loan from the Company to the ESOP. The initial payment on the loan from the Company to the ESOP is not due until December 31, 2007 and the outstanding balance at June 30, 2007 was $15.9 million. The shares of Company’s common stock purchased in the initial public offering are pledged as collateral for the loan. Shares will be released from the pledge for allocation to participants as loan payments are made. A total of 79,482 shares are committed to be released and will be allocated to participants for the ESOP year ended December 31, 2007. ESOP compensation expense for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $607,000.

In the normal course of business, the Company may be a party to various outstanding legal proceedings and claims. In the opinion of management, the financial position of the Company will not be materially affected by the outcome of such legal proceedings and claims.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Deposits at the Bank are insured up to standard limits of coverage provided by the Company Insurance Fund (BIF) of the Federated Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Bank is a New Jersey state chartered savings bank and is subject to comprehensive regulation, supervision and periodic examinations by the FDIC and by the New Jersey State Department of Banking. The Company is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS).

FDIC regulations require banks to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. Under the regulations in effect at June 30, 2007, the Bank and the Company are required to maintain (a) a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to total adjusted assets of 4.0%, and (b) minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively.

Under its prompt corrective action regulations, the FDIC is required to take certain supervisory actions (and may take additional discretionary actions) with respect to an undercapitalized institution. Such actions could have a direct material effect on the institution’s financial statements. The regulations establish a framework for the classification of savings institutions into five categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. Generally, an institution is considered well capitalized if it has a leverage (Tier 1) capital ratio of at least 5%; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6%; and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%.

The foregoing capital ratios are based in part on specific quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the FDIC about capital components, risk weightings and other factors.

Management believes that, as of June 30, 2007, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. Further, the most recent FDIC notification categorized the Bank as a well-capitalized institution under the prompt corrective action regulations. There have been no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s capital classification.

The following is a summary of the Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, compared to the FDIC minimum capital adequacy requirements and the FDIC requirements for classification as a well-capitalized institution.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For cash on hand and due from banks and federal funds sold and short-term investments, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Securities

The fair value of securities is estimated based on bid quotations received from securities dealers, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices of similar instruments, adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued.

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock

The fair value for FHLB stock is its carrying value, since this is the amount for which it could be redeemed. There is no active market for this stock and the Bank is required to maintain a minimum balance based upon the unpaid principal of home mortgage loans.

Loans

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as residential mortgage, construction, land and consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and nonperforming categories.

Fair value of performing loans is estimated by discounting cash flows using estimated market discount rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers and reflect similar credit ratings and interest rate risk for the same remaining maturities.

Fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals of collateral securing such loans, adjusted for the timing of anticipated cash flows.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, and NOW and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of June 30, 2007 and 2006. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings

The fair value of borrowings due in six months or less is equal to the amount payable. The fair value of all other borrowings is calculated based on the discounted cash flow of contractual amounts due, using market rates currently available for borrowings of similar amount and remaining maturity.

Commitments to Extend Credit and to Purchase or Sell Securities

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the 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 rates and the committed rates. The fair value of commitments to purchase or sell securities is estimated based on bid quotations received from securities dealers.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are presented in the following table. Since the fair value of off-balance-sheet commitments approximates book value, these disclosures are not included.


	2007			2006
	Carrying value		Fair value	Carrying value	Fair value

Cash and cash equivalents	$	63,526	63,526	7,274	7,274

Financial liabilities – borrowings		196,661	190,898	169,780	162,804

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s 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.

Fair value estimates are based on existing on - and off-balance-sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include the mortgage banking operation, deferred tax assets, and premises and equipment. 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 the estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, Share-Based Payments, was issued. SFAS No. 123R requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. This Statement establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans. This statement was effective for public and nonpublic entities as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. Oritani Financial Corp. has not adopted a stock-based incentive plan. Management will evaluate the impact on the results of operations or financial condition of this standard if such plan is adopted.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB statements No. 133 and 140.” This statement permits fair value remeasurement of certain hybrid financial instruments, clarifies the scope of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” regarding interest-only and principal-only strips, and provides further guidance on certain issues regarding beneficial interests in securitized financial assets, concentrations of credit risk and qualifying special purpose entities. SFAS No. 155 is effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The application of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have an impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” This statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset, and that the servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value. The statement also permits an entity to choose a subsequent measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The application of SFAS No. 156 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 establishes a recognition threshold and measurement for income tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 also prescribes a two-step evaluation process for tax positions. The first step is recognition and the second is measurement. For recognition, an enterprise judgmentally determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold it is measured and recognized in the financial statements as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements.

Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date of FIN 48 may be recognized or, continue to be recognized, upon adoption of this Interpretation. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 shall be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, the Company plans to adopt FIN 48 on July 1, 2007. The Company does not expect that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of statement No. 159 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 requires registrants to consider the effect of all carry-over and reversing effects of prior year misstatements when quantifying errors in current-year financial statements. SAB 108 was effective as of the end of the Company’s 2007 fiscal year, allowing a one-time transitional cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of July 1, 2006 for misstatements (if any) that were not previously deemed material, but are material under guidance in SAB108. The Company’s adoption of SAB No. 108 did not impact the Company’s financial statements.
