BCSB BANCORP, INC. REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED
MARCH 31, 2011

BCSB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BCSB), the holding company for Baltimore County Savings Bank, FSB, (the “Bank”) reported net income of $188,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, which represents the second quarter of its 2011 fiscal year, as compared to a net loss of $639,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

When consideration is given to dividends and discount accretion on preferred shares issued under the U.S. Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Company reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $229,000 or ($0.08) per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $795,000 or ($0.27) per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The Company repaid TARP on January 26, 2011 and was required to accelerate accretion of the remaining discount on the preferred stock, thereby reducing net income available to common shareholders by approximately $310,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2011 was $233,000, as compared to net income of $31,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010.

When consideration is given to dividends and discount accretion on preferred shares issued under the U.S. Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program, the net loss available to common stockholders was $340,000 or $(0.11) per basic and diluted common share for the six months ended March 31, 2011, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $282,000 or $(0.09) per basic and diluted common share for the six months ended March 31, 2010.

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, earnings were favorably impacted by significantly lower loan loss provisions and, to a lesser extent, moderate increases in non-interest income as compared to the same periods in the preceding fiscal year. Also, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized $100,000 in credit losses for certain private label collateralized mortgage obligation securities deemed by management to be “Other Than Temporarily Impaired”.  Earnings during the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 were negatively impacted by higher non-interest expenses and lower net interest income as compared to the same periods in the preceding fiscal year.

President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph J. Bouffard commented “Although the current economic environment remains difficult, we have made strides in achieving certain important objectives. In January of this year, we were able to repay TARP without raising additional capital, which would have been dilutive to our shareholders. The repayment also will save our Company $540,000 in annual preferred dividends. Measured deployment of available liquidity has helped to increase interest rate spread compared with our prior quarter ended December 31, 2010. Nonperforming assets remain manageable overall, decreasing as a percentage of assets compared with the prior quarter. We continue to aggressively pursue alternatives regarding asset quality and foreclosed property on our balance sheet.”

(1) Nonperforming  status denotes loans on which, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is questionable.  Also included in this category at March 31, 2011 are $3.6 million in Troubled Debt Restructurings, $1.0 million of which are not delinquent.  Reporting guidance requires disclosure of these loans as non-performing even though they are current in terms of principal and interest payments.
