NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Principles of Consolidation

BCSB Bankcorp, Inc. (the “Company”) owns 100% of Baltimore County Savings Bank, F.S.B. and subsidiaries (the “Bank”), and also invests in federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and U.S. Agency bonds. The Bank owns 100% of Baltimore County Service Corporation and Ebenezer Road, Inc. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of these companies on a consolidated basis. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Ebenezer Road, Inc. sells insurance products. It’s operations are not material to the consolidated financial statements.

The “Company” owns 100% of the common stock of BCSB Capital Trust I and BCSB Capital Trust II and in accordance with FASB Interpretation Number 46 these entities have not been consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Basis for Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, (none of which were other than normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis with those of the Bank. The results for the six months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2005. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which are incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2004.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term related to the determination of the allowance for loan losses (the “Allowance”), other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities and deferred tax assets.

Note 3 - Cash Flow Presentation

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from depository institutions, investments in federal funds, and certificates of deposit with original maturities of 90 days or less.

Note 6 - Stock Option Plan

Stock-Based Employee Compensation- At March 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company has four stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in the 2004 Annual Report. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No compensation cost is reflected in income for the granted options as all granted options had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Compensation cost is recorded for the value of shares of common stock granted to certain employees and directors under the Bank’s Management Recognition Plan. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

Note 7 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of the FASB issued EITF Abstract 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments” (“EITF”) 03-1”) effective for fiscal years ending after March 15, 2004. This abstract provides guidelines on the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments. Declines in fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issue for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123(R) (“SFAS 123(R)”), “Share-Based Payment”. This statement replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS 123(R) will require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements (with limited exceptions). The amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. This statement is effective for the Company beginning the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after October 1, 2005.

Note 8- Guarantees

The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loans facilities to customers. The Company, generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Company has $680,000 of standby letters of credit as of March 31, 2005. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payment required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of March 31, 2005 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not considered to be material.

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

General

BCSB Bankcorp is a growing company headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. The Company provides general consumer and commercial banking services in the greater Baltimore Metropolitan area. The Company opened two new branches this quarter, one in the Honeygo area of Baltimore, Maryland and another in Sparks, Maryland. The Company has also signed a contract to open a branch in the Owings Mills area. The anticipated opening is the second half of calendar 2005.

The Company’s net income is dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on its interest earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is determined by (i) the difference between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (“interest rate spread”) and (ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s interest rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. To a lesser extent, the Company’s net income also is affected by the level of other income, which primarily consists of fees and charges, and levels of non-interest expenses such as salaries and related expenses.

The operations of the Company are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, competition and the monetary, fiscal and regulatory policies of governmental agencies. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest, primarily on competing investments, account maturities and the levels of personal income and savings in the Company’s market area.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition is based on the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for loan losses.

Management believes the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s evaluation of the level of the allowance required in relation to the estimated loss exposure in the loan portfolio. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is a significant estimated loss and therefore regularly evaluates it for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as prior loan loss experience, the character and size of the loan portfolio, business and economic conditions and management’s estimation of losses. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different provisions for loan losses.

The Company adopted the disclosure only provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, see note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect to expense the fair market value of stock options until required for reporting periods beginning after September 30, 2005.

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this Annual Report, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions in the Company’s market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company’s market area, competition and information provided by third-party vendors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. 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.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2004

During the six months ended March 31, 2005, the Company’s assets increased by $16.8 million, or 2.2% from $773.6 million at September 30, 2004 to $790.4 million at March 31, 2005. The Company’s interest bearing deposits in other banks decreased $1.1 million, or 40.0% from $2.6 million at September 30, 2004 to $1.5 million at March 31, 2005. The Company’s investment portfolio available for sale decreased $5.9 million or 3.7%, from $158.9 million at September 30, 2004 to $153.0 million at March 31, 2005. The Company’s investment portfolio held to maturity remained stable at $2.5 million at September 30, 2004 and March 31, 2005. Net loans receivable, increased $21.5 million, or 5.6%, from $386.1 million at September 30, 2004 to $407.6 million at March 31, 2005. The Company’s mortgage-backed securities available for sale decreased by $7.7 million, or 5.3%, from $144.3 million at September 30, 2004 to $136.6 million at March 31, 2005. The Company’s mortgage-backed securities held to maturity increased $2.7 million, or

Table of Contents

10.2% from $26.6 million at September 30, 2004 to $29.3 million at March 31, 2005. The cash surrender value on the Bank Owned Life Insurance increased $474,000, or 4.0% from $11.9 million at September 30, 2004 to $12.4 million at March 31, 2005. All of the preceding was accomplished in an effort to reduce interest rate risk in the balance sheet. In anticipating a rising rate environment the Company is attempting to restructure the balance sheet to reduce exposure to long term assets which would not re-price quickly when interest rates rise. In addition the Company is increasing long term funding in anticipation of rising interest rates.

Deposits increased by $5.8 million, or 1.0%, from $580.6 million at September 30, 2004 to $586.4 million at March 31, 2005. The increase in deposits was achieved through normal marketing efforts. The growth in deposits helped to fund loan demand. The Company uses both short-term and long-term borrowings to fund growth of earnings assets in excess of deposit growth. Short-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta increased by $12.0 million, or 27.9% from $43.0 million at September 30, 2004 to $55.0 million at March 31, 2005. Long-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta increased by $814,000, or 1.0% from $77.9 million at September 30, 2004 to $78.7 million at March 31, 2005.

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $2.5 million, or 5.7% from $44.1 million at September 30, 2004 to $41.6 million at March 31, 2005, which was primarily attributable to the increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $2.4 million from, a negative $1.8 million at September 30, 2004 to a negative $4.2 million at March 31, 2005. These unrealized losses are considered temporary as they reflect market values on March 31, 2005 and are subject to change daily as interest rates fluctuate. This decrease is due to the effect rising interest rates have on the available for sale securities recorded at fair value. This decline in value has no impact on the Bank’s regulatory capital.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

Net Income. Net income decreased by $206,000, or 53.1%, from $388,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004 to $182,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to an increase in non-interest expenses of $465,000 and a decrease in other income of $461,000. This was partially offset by an increase in net interest income, and decreases in the provision for loan losses and income taxes.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $8.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $7.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004, representing an increase of $500,000, or 6.6%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $116.4 million, or 19.1% from $610.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 to $727.1 million at March 31, 2005. The increase in the average balance of interest earning-assets more than offset the decrease in the average rate on interest-earning assets of 24 basis points from, 5.07% for the six months ended March 31, 2004 to 4.83% for the six months ended March 31, 2005. Despite recent increases in interest rates, higher yielding assets within the portfolio continue to re-price faster and are being replaced with lower yielding assets which resulted in a decrease in the interest rate spread of 21 basis points from, 2.52% for the six months ended March 31, 2004 to 2.31% for the six months ended March 31, 2005. The Company has elected to sacrifice some interest rate spread in the short term in order to reduce interest rate risk and to position it self to respond to changes in market rates. The Company’s ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased from 98.82% for the six months ended March 31, 2004 to 100.51% for the six months ended March 31, 2005. The Company’s spread has decreased because the cost of liabilities has increased, whereas the interest rates for assets have not changed as much due to their longer term nature. In an effort to avoid long term fixed assets, the Company’s investment strategy is to emphasis short-term loans and adjustable, callable or step-up mortgage backed and investment securities.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $2.1 million, or 13.5% from $15.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 to $17.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005. Interest and fees on loans increased by $475,000, or 4.3% from $11.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 to $11.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005. This was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $34.0 million, or 9.5% from $358.9 million at March 31, 2004 to $392.9 million at March 31, 2005. The increase in the average balance of loans offset the decrease in the average yield on loans of 30 basis points from 6.17% for the six months ended March 31, 2004 to 5.87% for the six months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in the average yield was attributed to the prevailing market rates in the economy. Interest on mortgage-backed securities increased by $768,000 or 31.0% from $2.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 to $3.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005. This

Table of Contents

increase was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities from $121.4 million at March 31, 2004 to $168.7 million at March 31, 2005. Interest and dividends on investment securities increased by $866,000 or 46.3% from $1.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 to $2.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005. This was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of investments of $42.1 million from, $120.0 million at March 31, 2004 to $162.1 million at March 31, 2005, and an increase in the average yield of 26 basis points from, 3.12 % for the six months ended March 31, 2004 to 3.38% for the six months ended March 31, 2005.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, which consists of interest on deposits, interest on borrowed money and other interest expense increased from $7.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 to $9.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2005 an increase of $1.6 million or 20.3%. Interest on deposits increased $366,000 due to an increase in the average volume of deposits of $25.0 million, or 4.5% from $560.4 million at March 31, 2004 to $585.4 million at March 31, 2005. The average yield on deposits increased 2 basis points from 2.39% at March 31, 2004 to 2.41% at March 31, 2005. The Company was able to increase its deposits through normal marketing efforts. Interest on short-term borrowings increased by $457,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2005, and interest on long-term borrowings increased by $639,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $31.5 million in the average balance of short term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, from $15.9 million at March 31, 2004 to $47.4 million at March 31, 2005. The average balance of long-term advances (advances with maturities greater than one year) from the FHLB of Atlanta also increased by $47.9 million from, $18.0 million at March 31, 2004 to $65.9 million at March 31, 2005. The Company has $55.0 million in short term advances and $78.7 million in long term advances with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Proceeds of these advances were used to fund loans and purchase mortgage backed securities and investments that conform to the Bank’s strategy. Mitigation of interest rate risk and the ability to have funds available for re-pricing in a rising rate environment are important elements of the Bank’s investment strategy. Also contributing to interest expense was interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures which was $672,000 for the six month period ending March 31, 2005, compared to $530,000 for the six month period ending March 31, 2004.

Table of Contents

Average Balance Sheet. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and cost of liabilities for the periods indicated and the yields earned and rates paid. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the six month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. Total average assets are computed using month-end balances.

The table also presents information for the periods indicated with respect to the differences between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, or “interest rate spread,” which banks have traditionally used as an indicator of profitability. Another indicator of net interest income is “net interest margin,” which is its net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets.
