Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are composed of the accounts of Oritani Financial Corp. (the "Company"), its wholly owned subsidiaries, Oritani Bank (“the Bank”); Hampshire Financial, LLC, and Oritani, LLC, and the wholly owned subsidiaries of Oritani Bank; Oritani Finance Company, Ormon LLC (“Ormon”), and Oritani Investment Corp., as well as its wholly owned subsidiary, Oritani Asset Corporation (a real estate investment trust), collectively, the Company. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, all of the adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition and the consolidated results of operations for the unaudited periods presented have been included. The results of operations and other data presented for the three and six months period ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014.

Certain information and note disclosures usually included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the preparation of the Form 10-Q. The consolidated financial statements presented should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s June 30, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 13, 2013.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 and in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant changes relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s best estimate of losses known and inherent in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate. While management uses the most current information available to estimate losses on loans, actual losses are dependent on future events and, as such, increases in the allowance for loan losses may be necessary.

In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

2. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding includes the average number of shares of common stock outstanding 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. When applying the treasury stock method, we add: (1) the assumed proceeds from option exercises; (2) the tax benefit that would have been credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of non-qualified stock options and vesting of shares of restricted stock; and (3) the average unamortized compensation costs related to stock options. We then divide this sum by our average stock price to calculate shares assumed to be repurchased. The excess of the number of shares issuable over the number of shares assumed to be repurchased is added to basic weighted average common shares to calculate diluted EPS.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The following is a summary of the Company’s earnings per share calculations and reconciliation of basic to diluted earnings per share.



	Three months ended December 31,				Six months ended December 31,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
	(In thousands, except per share data)
Net income	$	9,983	$	8,746	$	20,357	$	17,957
Weighted average common shares outstanding—basic	42,626		42,030		42,511		41,970
Effect of dilutive stock options outstanding	1,101		823		1,131		785
Weighted average common shares outstanding—diluted	43,727		42,853		43,642		42,755
Earnings per share-basic	$	0.23	$	0.21	$	0.48	$	0.43
Earnings per share-diluted	$	0.23	$	0.20	$	0.47	$	0.42

For the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 there were 3,500 and 1,300 option shares, respectively, that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for those periods.

For the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 there were 3,700 and 1,900 option shares, respectively, that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for those periods.

3. Stock Repurchase Program

On June 27, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a stock repurchase plan pursuant to which the Company repurchased 5,624,506 shares, representing approximately 10% of its then outstanding shares. A second stock repurchase plan, for 10% of the outstanding shares, or 5,062,056 shares, was announced on September 14, 2011 and a third repurchase plan for 5% of the outstanding shares, or 2,278,776 shares, was announced on November 14, 2011. At December 31, 2013, a total of 11,259,101 shares were acquired under these repurchase programs at a weighted average cost of $13.03 per share. The timing of the repurchases depend on certain factors, including but not limited to, market conditions and prices, the Company’s liquidity and capital requirements, and alternative uses of capital. Repurchased shares will be held as treasury stock and will be available for general corporate purposes. The Company conducts such repurchases in accordance with a Rule 10b5-1trading plan. At December 31, 2013, there are 1,701,980 shares yet to be purchased under the current plans.

4. Equity Incentive Plans

The 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2007 Equity Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders on April 22, 2008, which authorized the issuance of up to 4,172,817 shares of Company common stock pursuant to grants of incentive and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock awards. The 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“2011 Equity Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders on July 26, 2011. The 2011 Equity Plan authorized the issuance of up to 5,790,849 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to grants of stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, with no more than 1,654,528 of the shares be issued as restricted stock awards or restricted stock units. Employees and outside directors of the Company or Oritani Bank are eligible to receive awards under the Equity Plans.

Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the market price of our common stock on the grant date, based on quoted market prices. Stock options generally vest over a five-year service period and expire ten years from issuance. The vesting of the options accelerate upon death or disability, retirement or a change in control and expire 90 days after termination of service, excluding disability or retirement. The Company recognizes compensation expense for all option grants over the awards’ respective requisite service periods. Management estimated the fair values of all option grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Management estimated the expected life of the options using the simplified method.

the grant provides the risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option. The Company classified share-based compensation for employees and outside directors within “compensation, payroll taxes and fringe benefits” in the consolidated statements of income to correspond with the same line item as the cash compensation paid. The fair value of the options issued during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was estimated using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following assumptions:



	Six months ended December 31,
	2013		2012
Option shares granted	36,000		100,000
Expected dividend yield	6.25	%	5.38	%
Expected volatility	31.57	%	35.25	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.87	%	0.99	%
Expected option life	6.5		6.5

The following is a summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for its options plan as of December 31, 2013 and changes therein during the six months then ended:



	Number of Stock Options		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (years)
Outstanding at June 30, 2013	6,422,891		$	2.55	$	11.39	6.9
Granted	36,000		2.40		16.19		10.0
Exercised	(404,280	)	2.32		10.50		4.9
Forfeited	(19,200	)	2.71		11.95		7.9

Exercisable at December 31, 2013	3,600,890		$	2.47	$	11.08	6.9

The Company recorded $532,000 and $526,000 of share based compensation expense related to the options granted for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $1.1 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Expected future expense related to the non-vested options outstanding at December 31, 2013 is $5.7 million over a weighted average period of 2.7 years. Upon exercise of vested options, management expects to draw on treasury stock as the source of the shares.

Restricted stock shares vest over a five-year service period on the anniversary date of the grant. Vesting of the restricted stock shares accelerate upon death or disability, retirement or a change in control. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determines the fair value of restricted shares under the Company’s restricted stock plan. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The following is a summary of the status of the Company’s restricted stock shares as of December 31, 2013 and changes therein during the six months then ended:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company continuously monitors the credit quality of its loans receivable. In addition to internal staff, the Company utilizes the services of a third party loan review firm to evaluate the credit quality ratings of its loan receivables. Credit quality is monitored by reviewing certain credit quality indicators. Assets classified as “Satisfactory” are deemed to possess average to superior credit quality, requiring no more than normal attention. Assets classified as “Pass/Watch” have generally acceptable asset quality yet possess higher risk characteristics/circumstances than satisfactory assets. Such characteristics include strained liquidity, slow pay, stale financial statements or other circumstances requiring greater attention from bank staff. We classify an asset as “Special Mention” if the asset has a potential weakness that warrants management’s close attention. Such weaknesses, if left uncorrected may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects of the asset. 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. Included in the Substandard caption are all loans that were past due 90 days (or more) and all impaired loans. The following table provides information about the loan credit quality at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013:

Troubled debt restructured loans (“TDRs”) are those loans whose terms have been modified because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. The Company has selectively modified certain borrower’s loans to enable the borrower to emerge from delinquency and keep their loans current. The eligibility of a borrower for a TDR modification depends upon the facts and circumstances of each transaction, which may change from period to period, and involve judgment by management regarding the likelihood that the modification will result in the maximum recovery by the Company. Modifications could include extension of the terms of the loan, reduced interest rates, and forgiveness of accrued interest and/or principal. Once an obligation has been restructured because of such credit problems, it continues to be considered restructured until paid in full or, if the obligation yields a market rate (a rate equal to or greater than the rate the Company was willing to accept at the time of the restructuring for a new loan with comparable risk), until the year subsequent to the year in which the restructuring takes place, provided the borrower has performed under the modified terms for a six month period. Management classifies all TDRs as impaired loans. Included in impaired loans at December 31, 2013 are $7.9 million of loans which are deemed TDRs. At June 30, 2013, TDRs totaled $3.8 million.

The following table presents additional information regarding the Company’s TDRs as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013:

CMO	1,191		39		—		1,230
	$	41,873	$	1,077	$	1,095	$	41,855

The contractual maturities of mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity generally exceed 20 years ; however, the effective lives are expected to be shorter due to anticipated prepayments and, in the case of CMOs, cash flow priorities. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalties.

The Company did not sell any securities held to maturity during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Proceeds from the sale of securities held to maturity for the six months ended December 31, 2013 were $8.9 million on securities with an amortized cost of $8.8 million, resulting in gross gains and gross losses of $117,400 and $16,700, respectively. The held to maturity securities sold were mortgage-backed securities with 15% or less of their original purchased balances remaining. The Company did not sell any securities held to maturity during the six months ended December 31, 2012. Securities with fair values of $30.0 million and $34.4 million at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively, were pledged as collateral for advances. The Company did not record other-than-temporary impairment charges on securities held to maturity during the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

	$	19,354	$	1,095	—	—	19,354	1,095

Management evaluated the securities in the above tables and concluded that none of the securities with losses has impairments that are other-than-temporary. The unrealized losses on investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate changes and market conditions. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and market conditions and not credit quality, and because the Company has no intent to sell and believes it is not more than likely than not that it will be required to sell these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

The contractual maturities of mortgage-backed securities available for sale generally exceed 20 years ; however, the effective lives are expected to be shorter due to anticipated prepayments and, in the case of CMOs, cash flow priorities. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalties.

Proceeds from the sale of securities available for sale for the six months ended December 31, 2013 were $18.1 million on securities available for sale with an amortized cost of $18.2 million, resulting in gross gains and gross losses of $136,300 and $185,600, respectively. The Company did not sell any securities available for sale during the three and six months ended December 31, 2012. There were no other-than-temporary impairment charges on available for sale securities for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Equity securities caption relates to holdings of shares in financial institutions common stock. Available for sale securities with fair values of $268.9 million and $263.1 million at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively, were pledged as collateral for advances.

9. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Oritani is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with Oritani's fixed and variable rate borrowings. Oritani recognizes interest rate swaps as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial condition.

The interest rate swaps on variable rate borrowings were designated as cash flow hedges and were negotiated over the counter contracts. The contracts were entered into by Oritani with a counterparty and the specific agreement of terms were negotiated, including the amount, the interest rate, and the maturity.

Oritani is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. Oritani controls the credit risk through monitoring procedures and does not expect the counterparty to fail their obligations. Oritani only deals with primary dealers and believes that the credit risk inherent in these contracts was not significant during and at year end.

At December 31, 2013, Oritani had a forecasted interest rate swap agreement to receive from the counterparty at 3 month LIBOR and to pay interest to the counterparty at a fixed rate of 2.63% on notional amounts of $50 million. The effective date of the transaction was April 11, 2013 and the maturity date is April 11, 2023. For the first three years no cash flows will be exchanged and for the following seven years Oritani will pay a fixed interest rate of 2.63% and the counterparty will pay Oritani 3 month LIBOR. The hedging strategy converts the LIBOR based floating interest on certain FHLB advances to fixed interest rates, thereby protecting Oritani from floating interest rate variability. The following table presents information regarding our derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013.



	At December 31, 2013				At June 30, 2013
	Notional Amount		Fair Value		Notional Amount		Fair Value
Asset derivatives
Interest rate swap	$	50,000	$	3,559	$	50,000	$	2,584

There was no collateral pledged from Oritani to the counterparty at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. There is the possibility that Oritani may need to pledge collateral in the future.

10. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2009. Currently, the Company is not under examination by any taxing authority. The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, where applicable, in income tax expense.

11. Real Estate Joint Ventures, net and Real Estate Held for Investment

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. The net book value of real estate joint ventures was $4,201,000 and $4,067,000 at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

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. The net book value of real estate held for investment was $29,000 and $15,000 at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

12. Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, on July 1, 2008. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described below:

Basis of Fair Value Measurement:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted

assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for

substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

Level 3: Price or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and

unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market activity).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies and key inputs used to measure assets recorded at fair value, as well as a description of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value disclosures for financial instruments not recorded at fair value in their entirety on a recurring basis. The descriptions include an indication of the level of the fair value hierarchy in which the assets or liabilities are classified.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of these instruments approximates fair value.

Securities

The Company records securities held to maturity at amortized cost and securities available for sale at fair value on a recurring basis. The majority of the Company’s securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets. The estimated fair values for securities are obtained from an independent nationally recognized third-party pricing service. Our independent pricing service provides us with prices which are primarily categorized as Level 2, as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the majority of securities in our portfolio. Pricing services may employ modeling techniques in determining pricing. Inputs to these models include market spreads, dealer quotes, prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions, among other things. Management compares the pricing to a second independent pricing source for reasonableness. Equity securities are reported at Level 1 based on quoted market prices for identical securities in active markets.

FHLB of New York Stock

FHLB of New York Stock is recorded at cost (par value) and evaluated for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. There is no active market for this stock and no significant observable market data is available for this instrument. The Company considers the profitability and asset quality of FHLB, dividend payment history and recent redemption experience, when determining the ultimate recoverability of the par value. The Company believes its investment in FHLB stock is ultimately recoverable at par. The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value, since this is the amount for which it could be redeemed.

Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, periodically, the Company records nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements. The estimated fair value for significant nonperforming loans and impaired loans are valued utilizing independent appraisals of the collateral securing such loans that rely upon quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets. These appraisals include adjustments to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience. The appraisals are adjusted downward by management (0-20% adjustment rate and 0-10% risk premium rate), as necessary, for changes in relevant valuation factors subsequent to the appraisal date and the timing of anticipated cash flows (0-8% discount rate). The Company classifies impaired loans as Level 3.

Fair value for loans held for investment is estimated using portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as residential, multifamily, commercial real estate, construction, land and consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and nonperforming/impaired categories. Fair value of performing loans is estimated using a discounted cash flow model that employs a discount rate that reflects the current market pricing for loans with similar characteristics and remaining maturity, adjusted by an amount for estimated credit losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. The rates take into account the expected yield curve. Fair values estimated in this manner do not fully incorporate an exit-price approach to fair value. The Company classifies the estimated fair value of loans held for investment as Level 3.

Real Estate Owned

Assets acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are recorded at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired, thus establishing a new cost basis. Subsequently, real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. Fair value is generally based on independent appraisals. These appraisals include adjustments to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience, and are considered Level 3. When an asset is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over fair value, less estimated liquidation costs (5-20% discount rate), is charged to the allowance for loan losses. If the estimated fair value of the asset declines, a write-down is recorded through expense. The valuation of foreclosed assets is subjective in nature and may be adjusted in the future because of changes in the economic conditions.

Deposit Liabilities

The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as checking, savings, and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date. The estimated fair value of term deposits 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. The Company classifies the estimated fair value of term deposits as Level 2.

Borrowings

The estimated fair value of overnight borrowings approximates the estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of term 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. The Company classifies the estimated fair value of term borrowings as Level 2.

Derivatives

The fair value of our interest rate swap was estimated using Level 2 inputs. The fair value was determined using third party prices that are based on discounted cash flow analyses using observed market interest rate curves and volatilities.

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 fair value of off-balance-sheet commitments approximates book value.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following tables present the recorded amount of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 by level within the fair value hierarchy.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure the fair value of certain other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write downs of individual assets. The following tables present the recorded amount of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 by level within the fair value hierarchy.

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 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.

14. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, "Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which clarifies that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014 (July 1, 2015 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)", which provides guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2013 (July 1, 2014 for the Company). The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-10, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The guidance permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). We adopted this guidance on July 17,2013 with no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income", which requires an entity to separately present the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") for each component of AOCI and to disclose, for each affected line item in the income statement, the amount of AOCI that has been reclassified into that line item. If the reclassification doesn't go directly to an income statement line it is acceptable to cross reference that amount to another footnote that provides the required disclosure. Public companies are required to comply with the requirements of ASU 2013-02 prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2012 (July 1, 2013 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. We adopted the applicable requirements on July 1, 2013 and have provided the related disclosures as required with no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Such forward looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or periods, or by use of forward looking terminology, such as “may,” “will,” “believe,” ‘expect,” “estimate,” ‘anticipate,” “continue,” or similar terms or variations on those terms, or the negative of those terms. Forward looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements in addition to those risk factors disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013, include, but are not limited to, those related to the economic environment, particularly in the market areas in which Oritani Financial Corp. (the “Company”) operates, competitive products and pricing, fiscal and monetary policies of the U.S. Government, changes in government regulations affecting financial institutions, including regulatory fees and capital requirements, changes in prevailing interest rates, acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses, credit risk management, asset-liability management, the financial and securities markets and the availability of and costs associated with sources of liquidity.

The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

Overview

Oritani Financial Corp. (the "Company”) is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in March 2010. The Company is the stock holding company of Oritani Bank. The Company owns 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank. The Company has engaged primarily in the business of holding the common stock of the Bank and two limited liability companies that own a variety of real estate investments. In addition, the Company has engaged in limited lending to the real estate investment properties in which (either directly or through one of its subsidiaries) it maintains an ownership interest. The Bank’s principal business consists of attracting retail, commercial and municipal bank deposits from the general public 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. The Bank originates loans primarily for investment and holds such loans in its portfolio. Occasionally, the Bank will also enter into loan participations. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, investment maturities and principal and interest payments on loans and securities. The Bank’s revenues are derived principally from interest on loans and securities as well as our investments in real estate and real estate joint ventures. The Bank also generates revenue from fees and service charges and other income. The Bank’s results of operations depend significantly on its net interest income; which is the difference between the interest earned on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank’s net interest income is primarily affected by the market interest rate environment, the shape of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, the timing of the placement of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the prepayment rate on its mortgage-related assets. Provisions for loan losses and asset impairment charges can also have a significant impact on results of operations. Other factors that may affect the Bank’s results of operations are general and local economic and competitive conditions, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

The Bank’s business strategy is to operate as a well-capitalized and profitable financial institution dedicated to providing exceptional personal service to its individual and business customers. The Bank’s primary focus has been, and will continue to be, growth in multi-family and commercial real estate lending.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013

Total Assets. Total assets increased $110.4 million to $2.94 billion at December 31, 2013, from $2.83 billion at June 30, 2013.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents (which include fed funds and short term investments) decreased $3.0 million to $9.1 million at December 31, 2013, from $12.1 million at June 30, 2013.

Net Loans. Loans, net increased $92.3 million to $2.37 billion at December 31, 2013, from $2.28 billion at June 30, 2013. The majority of the growth occurred over the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Net loan balances grew $83.1 million over this period, an annualized growth rate of 14.5%. Loan originations totaled $184.4 million and $286.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, respectively. However, the growth rate of the loan portfolio continues to be negatively impacted by an elevated level of prepayments.

Non performing assets to total assets	0.81		%	0.91		%	0.91		%	1.02		%	1.15		%

Total delinquent loans continued a general trend that is evident since December 31, 2012 (and prior). Other than for the September 30, 2013 period, total delinquent loans have decreased steadily. As further described below, the metrics in the nonaccrual total continue to show improvement. Nonaccrual loans totaled $19.9 million at December 31, 2013. However, $7.8 million of this total consisted of loans that were current at December 31, 2013 and were included in the nonaccrual total as they had not yet demonstrated sufficient recent satisfactory performance to qualify for an updated status . There are two other loans, totaling $1.5 million, included in the nonaccrual total whose delinquency status was 30 days or less.

At December 31, 2013, there are eight nonaccrual loans with balances greater than $1.0 million. These loans are discussed below:

•

A $3.2 million loan for a luxury home in Morris County, New Jersey. The loan is classified as impaired. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, no reserve was required as of December 31, 2013, primarily due to a low estimated loan to value. Over the quarter ended December 31, 2013, a modification and extension agreement, with terms satisfactory to Oritani, was reached. This agreement has been classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). If the loan demonstrates six months of satisfactory performance it will be returned to accrual status (although there can be no assurances that this will occur). The loan has paid as agreed since the agreement.


•	A $1.6 million residential loan on a single family residence in Bergen County, New Jersey. A foreclosure action was initiated when loan payments became delinquent. The loan is classified as impaired. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, a $246,000 impairment reserve remains against this loan as of December 31, 2013. Oritani is pursuing legal remedies.

•

A $1.1 million loan on a mixed use property in Bergen County, New Jersey. The loan is classified as impaired. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, a $265,000 impairment reserve remains against this loan as of December 31, 2013. A forbearance agreement had previously been executed and the borrower has generally complied with the payment demands of the Company but not to the extent where the Company believes long term issues with the loan have been resolved. The loan is classified as nonaccrual as of December 31, 2013 and was 30 days delinquent at that time. The Company will continue to monitor the performance of this loan to determine if it is appropriate to remove it from the nonaccrual classification (there can be no assurances that this will occur and it is presently at least six month away).

•

A $2.5 million loan on a multifamily property in New York City. The loan is classified as impaired. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, no reserve was required as of December 31, 2013. The borrower is in bankruptcy and the bankruptcy court has approved a plan for the sale of the property, and such plan is in process. There is a pending contract for sale of this property for $3.7 million. Regular payments have resumed on this loan including a small amount toward the delinquent balance.

•

A $2.4 million loan on a warehouse/light industrial building in Bergen County, NJ. The loan is classified as impaired. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, no reserve was required as of December 31, 2013, primarily due to a low estimated loan to value. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, a modification and extension agreement, with terms satisfactory to Oritani, was reached. This agreement includes a new guarantor and other credit enhancements and carries a market rate of interest. It is not considered a TDR. If the loan demonstrates six months of satisfactory performance

Table of Contents

it will be returned to accrual status (although there can be no assurances that this will occur). The loan has paid as agreed since the agreement.

•

A $1.7 million loan on a retail building in Morris County, NJ. The loan is classified as impaired. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, a $163,000 impairment reserve remains against this loan as of December 31, 2013. Over the quarter ended September 30, 2013, an agreement was reached regarding the total late fees and legal fee reimbursement to be paid to the Bank in conjunction with the delinquency. The Company currently expects that the loan will be brought fully current during the quarter ending March 31, 2014 (although there can be no assurances that this will occur). If this occurs, the performance of the loan will then be monitored to see if it can appropriately be returned to accrual status.


•	A $1.7 million loan on an office building in Somerset County, NJ. The loan is classified as impaired. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, a $292,000 impairment reserve remains against this loan as of December 31, 2013. This loan and the loan described directly above have the same borrower, and the same agreement was reached for this loan.

•

A $1.2 million loan on a lot and auto showroom in Bergen County, NJ. There had been no payment issues with the loan until it matured and extension terms could not be agreed upon. Over the quarter ended December 31, 2013, an extension agreement, with terms satisfactory to Oritani, was reached with the borrower. The extension agreement is considered a TDR and is therefore classified as impaired as of December 31, 2013. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, a $407,000 impairment reserve was established against this loan as of December 31, 2013.

There are eight other multifamily/commercial real estate loans, totaling $3.4 million, classified as nonaccrual at December 31, 2013. The largest of these loans has a balance of $698,000 (and was current at December 31, 2013).

There are seven other residential loans, totaling $847,000, classified as nonaccrual at December 31, 2013. The largest of these loans has a balance of $334,000.

Securities Available For Sale. Securities available for sale increased $23.0 million to $341.3 million at December 31, 2013, from $318.3 million at June 30, 2013. Purchases of $98.0 million were partially offset by sales, payments, calls and maturities of $70.2 million. During the six months ended December 31, 2013, securities with an amortized cost of $18.2 million were sold, resulting in gross gains and gross losses of $136,300 and $185,600, respectively. The securities sold had low principal balances remaining.

Securities held to maturity. Mortgage-backed securities HTM decreased $11.2 million to $30.6 million at December 31, 2013, from $41.9 million at June 30, 2013 During the six months ended December 31, 2013, securities with an amortized cost of $8.8 million were sold, resulting in gross gains and gross losses of $117,400 and $16,700, respectively. The securities sold had low principal balances remaining.

Bank Owned Life Insurance ("BOLI"). BOLI increased $7.0 million, or 11.7%, to $67.0 million at December 31, 2013, from $60.0 million at June 30, 2013, as additional BOLI investments have been made over the fiscal year.

Real Estate Owned. Real estate owned (“REO”) increased $2.3 million to $4.0 million at December 31, 2013, from $1.7 million at June 30, 2013. During the 2014 fiscal year, the Company has taken title to three properties and disposed of two properties. During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company disposed of its then largest REO component realizing a recovery of $219,000, and also acquired title to two properties (one loan) through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The loans had a principal balance of $4.2 million and were transferred into REO with a value of $3.0 million. The $4.0 million balance at December 31, 2013 consists of 5 properties.

Deposits. Deposits increased $43.3 million to $1.46 billion at December 31, 2013, from $1.42 billion at June 30, 2013. The majority of the growth occurred over the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Deposits grew $38.3 million over this period, an annualized growth rate of 10.8%.

Borrowings. Borrowings increased $71.0 million to $904.6 million at December 31, 2013, from $833.7 million at June 30, 2013.

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $1.1 million to $519.8 million at December 31, 2013, from $518.7 million at June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to net income and the proceeds from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by dividends, including a $0.25 special dividend paid in December, 2013. Based on our December 31, 2013 closing price of $16.05 per share, the Company stock was trading at 141.1% of book value.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

Net Income. Net income increased $1.2 million, or 14.1%, to $10.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, from $8.7 million for the corresponding 2012 quarter. The primary cause of the increased income in the 2013 period was a decrease in the provision for loan losses and increased other income. Our annualized return on average assets was 1.40% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, and 1.27% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased $529,000, to $32.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, from $31.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The components of interest income changed as follows:

The Company continues to focus on organic growth of the multifamily and commercial real estate loan portfolios. The average balance of the loan portfolio increased $194.6 million over the periods. On a linked quarter basis (December 31, 2013 versus September 30, 2013), the average balance of the loan portfolio grew $36.2 million and the period end balance of loans grew $83.1 million. The annualized growth rate based on the ending balances was 14.5%. The growth was primarily achieved through originations. Loan originations totaled $184.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The yield on the loan portfolio decreased 30 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 versus the comparable 2012 period. The decreased yield was primarily due to the impact of current market rates on new originations, refinancings, prepayments and repricings. The market rates on new originations are higher than they were last year but are still below the average yield of the loan portfolio. Prepayment penalties are recognized as interest on loans. These penalties, which significantly impacted both periods, were higher in the 2013 period. Prepayment penalties totaled $1.9 million in the 2013 period versus $1.2 million in the 2012 period. Prepayment penalties boosted the annualized loan yield by 33 basis points in the 2013 period and 22 basis points in the 2012 period. Prepayment penalty provisions are incorporated into all of the Company’s multifamily and commercial real estate loan documents. The penalties are intended to protect the Company from the prepayment of loans and provide the Company with compensation if the loan is prepaid. Management had expected that the recent increases in market rates of interest on loans would decrease prepayment activity; however, this has not yet occurred.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $288,000, to $7.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, from $7.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The components of interest expense changed as follows:

The Company continued its strategic objective of increasing core deposits. While increases in core account balances have been partially offset by decreases in time deposits, overall deposit growth was achieved. Management has implemented strategies with a goal of increasing deposits. These strategies have generated initial success, and management expects these trends to continue. However, such strategies may negatively impact future costs. On a linked quarter basis (December 31, 2013 versus September 30, 2013), the average balance of deposits grew $29.4 million and the period end balance of deposits grew $38.3 million. The annualized growth rate based on the ending balances was 10.8%. On a linked quarter basis, the average cost of interest bearing deposits was stable. As detailed in table above, the average balance of borrowings decreased slightly ($5.2 million) for the three months ended December 31, 2013 versus the comparable 2012 period, while the cost increased 19 basis points. The primary reason for the increase in costs over the periods is due to more long term borrowings in the 2013 period.

Net Interest Income Before Provision for Loan Losses. Net interest income increased by $241,000, or 1.0%, to $24.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, from $24.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The Company’s net interest income, spread and margin over the period are detailed in the chart below.

The Company’s spread and margin have been significantly impacted by prepayment penalties. Results for the December 2013 quarter detail spread and margin erosion despite the level of prepayment penalties. A clearer trend is evident in the table above that excludes prepayment income. The Company’s spread and margin are under pressure in the current interest rate environment due to several factors, including: rates on new loan originations and investment purchases; modifications of loans within the existing loan portfolio; prepayments of higher yielding loans and investments; limited ability to further reduce deposit and borrowing costs; promotional interest costs to attract new deposit customers and ongoing increases in borrowing costs for the long term borrowings necessary to reduce interest rate risk. Market rates of interest have risen over the past eight months and the yield curve has steepened. A steep yield curve generally provides a benefit to the Company. Some of the increases have been captured in new loan origination rates, offsetting a portion of the pressures described above. The Company’s largest interest rate risk exposure is to a flat or inverted yield curve.

The Company’s net interest income and net interest rate spread were both negatively impacted in both periods due to the reversal of accrued interest income on loans delinquent more than 90 days. The total of such income reversed was $55,000 and $486,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $200,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. A rollforward of the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is presented below:



	Three months ended December 31,
	2013		2012

The improving delinquency and nonaccrual trends, changes in loan risk ratings, loan growth, reduced levels of charge-offs and economic and business conditions continue to have a meaningful impact on the current level of provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses was lower in the 2013 period partially due to these factors. In addition, improvements in general economic and business conditions have also impacted the level of provisioning by decreasing the necessary level of general allowances. To the extent that continued improvements occur in all of these factors, the level of provision expense can be expected to remain low, even if loan growth is significant. See additional information regarding the allowance for loan losses in footnote 6 of the financial statements and “Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013-Net Loans.”

Other Income. Other income increased $677,000 to $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, from $887,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase is primarily due to a $285,000 increase on income from investments in joint ventures. Results for both periods reflect decreased income at one commercial property. A negative adjustment related to expected insurance reimbursements was recorded on this property during the quarter ended December 31, 2012, which further depressed results for that period. As discussed in prior public releases, issues related to flooding at one commercial property have decreased occupancy and income. The key vacancy pertains to the grocery anchor tenant. Negotiations with a potential replacement grocery anchor extended far beyond original expectations but were consummated over the quarter. Income at this property is now expected to return to historical levels by July 1, 2014. Net gain on sale of assets totaled $207,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013, versus $36,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The gain in the 2013 period was primarily due to the sale of an REO property.

Other Expenses. Other expenses increased $570,000 to $10.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, from $9.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to compensation, payroll taxes and fringe benefits, which increased $504,000 to $7.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, from $7.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to expenses associated with the Company’s defined benefit plan. This plan is frozen but actuarial changes to the present value of future payment obligations along with changes to the estimated earnings on assets led to a required contribution. In 2012, the valuation of the defined benefit plan allowed a reversal of an accrual that had existed at that time. There were also increases in direct compensation due to additional staffing and salary adjustments.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $5.6 million on pre-tax income of $15.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 36.0%. Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $5.2 million on pre-tax income of $14.0 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 37.3%. The decreased rate in 2013 was primarily due to the furtherance of various tax planning strategies.

Net Income. Net income increased $2.4 million, or 13.4%, to $20.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, from $18.0 million for the corresponding 2012 period. The primary cause of the increased income in the 2013 period was a decrease in the provision for loan losses and increased other income.

The explanations provided in “Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, Interest Expense” regarding changes for the three month period comparison are also applicable to the six month period comparison. The average balance of borrowings increased $32.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013 versus the comparable 2012 period. This increase is primarily due to a lower level of borrowings during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The borrowing level during this period was predicated on liquidity needs.

Net Interest Income Before Provision for Loan Losses. Net interest income increased by $644,000, or 1.3%, to $48.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, from $48.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The Company’s net interest rate spread and margin decreased to 3.42% and 3.64% for the six months ended December 31, 2013, from 3.47% and 3.71% for the six months ended December 31, 2012, respectively. The factors described in “Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, Net Interest Income Before Provision for Loan Losses” also impacted the six month periods. The Company’s net interest income and net interest rate spread were both negatively impacted in both periods due to the reversal of accrued interest income on loans delinquent more than 90 days. The Company’s net interest income was reduced $358,000 and $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, due to the impact of nonaccrual loans.

The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $500,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $3.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012. A rollforward of the allowance for loan losses for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is presented below:



	Six months ended December 31,
	2013		2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	31,381	$	31,187
Provisions charged to operations	500		3,000
Recoveries of loans previously charged off	13		117
Loans charged off	1,254		2,395
Balance at end of period	$	30,640	$	31,909

See discussion of the allowance for loan losses in “Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013” and footnote 6 of the financial statements.

Other Income. Other income increased $1.0 million to $3.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013 from $2.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The six month period was also impacted by the issues described in “Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, Other Income” regarding income from investments in joint ventures and net gain on sale of REO.

Other Expenses. Operating expenses increased $907,000 to $19.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, from $18.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to compensation, payroll taxes and fringe benefits, which increased $671,000 to $14.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, from $13.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The six month period was affected by the items described in “Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, Other Expense”, though to a slightly larger extent.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2013, was $11.5 million, due to pre-tax income of $31.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 36.1%. For the six months ended December 31, 2012, income tax expense was $10.7 million, due to pre-tax income of $28.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 37.3%. The decreased rate in 2013 was primarily due to the furtherance of various tax planning strategies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings and investment maturities. While scheduled amortization of loans is a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises, including advances from the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

At December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the Company had $134.3 million and $83.3 million in overnight borrowings from the FHLB, respectively. In addition, the Company had additional short term borrowings of $100.0 million and $150.0 million at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company had total borrowings of $904.6 million at December 31, 2013 and $833.7 million at June 30, 2013. The Company’s total borrowings at December 31, 2013 include $670.4 million in longer term borrowings with the FHLB. In the normal course of business, the Company routinely enters into various commitments, primarily relating to the origination of loans. At December 31, 2013, outstanding commitments to originate loans totaled $139.4 million and outstanding commitments to extend credit totaled $32.3 million. The Company expects to have sufficient funds available to meet current commitments in the normal course of business.

Time deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $321.0 million at December 31, 2013. Based upon historical experience, management estimates that a large portion of such deposits will remain with the Company. The portion that remains will be significantly impacted by the renewal rates offered by the Company.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC issued final rules implementing the Basel III regulatory capital framework and related Dodd-Frank Act changes. The rules revise minimum capital requirements and adjust prompt corrective action thresholds. Under the final rules, minimum requirements will increase for both the quantity and quality of capital held by the Company and the Bank. The rules include a new common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5 percent and a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets. The final rules also raise the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0 percent to 6.0 percent and require a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0 percent. The final rule will become effective January 1, 2015, subject to a transition period.

As of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the Company and Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 1 to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended June 30, 2013, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented by this report, contains a summary of significant accounting policies. Various elements of these accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. Certain assets are carried in the consolidated Balance Sheets at estimated fair value or the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Policies with respect to the methodologies used to determine the allowance for loan losses and judgments regarding the valuation of securities as well as the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets are the most critical accounting policies because they are important to the presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, involve a higher degree of complexity, and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions, and estimates could result in material differences in the results of operations or financial condition. These critical accounting policies and their application are reviewed periodically and, at least annually, with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. For a further discussion of the critical accounting policies of the Company, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended June 30, 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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 Bank has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee, comprised of various members of its senior management, 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 its activities to the Board on a monthly basis. An interest rate risk analysis is presented 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 multifamily and commercial real estate loans that generally tend to have shorter interest duration and generally have interest rates that reset primarily at five years;


(ii)	investing in shorter duration securities and mortgage-backed securities;


(iii)	obtaining general financing through FHLB advances with a fixed long term: and


(iv)	utilizing interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments.

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

Table of Contents

our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. In addition, if changes occur that cause the estimated duration of a security to lengthen significantly, management will consider the sale of such security. By following these strategies, we believe that we are well-positioned to react to changes in market interest rates.

Net Portfolio Value. We compute the amounts by which the 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 December 31, 2013, 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)
+200	$	462,448	$	(85,200	)	(15.6	)%	16.4	%	(196	)
+100	508,566		(39,082		)	(7.1	)	17.5		(84	)
—	547,648		—			—		18.3		—
(100)	604,801		57,153			10.4		19.6		132


(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 December 31, 2013, in the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience an 10.4% increase in net portfolio value. In the event of a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 15.6% 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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes made in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report.
