NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 – Principles of Consolidation

BCSB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) owns 100% of Baltimore County Savings Bank, F.S.B. and its subsidiaries (the “Bank”). The Bank owns 100% of Ebenezer Road, Inc. and Lyons Properties LLC. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of these companies on a consolidated basis since the date of acquisition. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Ebenezer Road, Inc. sells insurance products and Lyons Properties LLC holds real estate owned through foreclosure. Their operations are not material to the 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, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2011. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which are incorporated by reference in BCSB Bancorp, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 – Organization

The Company is a Maryland corporation which was organized to be the stock holding company for the Bank in connection with our second-step conversion and reorganization completed on April 10, 2008. The Bank operates as a federally chartered stock savings association. The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured up to a maximum of $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank’s non-interest earning demand deposit accounts currently have unlimited FDIC insurance.

Note 4 – 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.

At March 31, 2011 the Company had eleven mortgage-backed securities in an unrealized loss position.

During the six months ended March 31, 2011, we determined that, based on our most recent estimate of cash flows, no additional other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) had occurred. Under guidance for recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments, the amount of other-than-temporary impairment that is recognized through earnings is determined by comparing the present value of the expected cash flows to the amortized cost of the security. The discount rate used to determine the credit loss is the expected book yield on the security.

The Company engages the service of independent third party valuation professionals to analyze the OTTI status of the non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The OTTI methodology is formulated within “FASB ASC”. The valuation is meant to be “Level Three” pursuant to FASB ASC – Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. As part of the valuation process and OTTI determination, assumptions related to prepayment, default and loss severity on the collateral supporting the non-agency mortgage-backed securities are input into an industry standard valuation model.

Prepayment Assumptions

Assumptions are based on evaluation of the conditional prepayment rates (“CPR”) and conditional repayment rates (“CRR”) over a 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 year and lifetime basis – to the extent these values are provided by the servicer; estimated prepayment rates provided by the Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”), forecasts from other industry experts, and judgment given recent deterioration in credit conditions and declines in property values.

Default Rates

Estimates for the conditional default rate (“CDR”) vectors are based on the status of the loans at the valuation date – current, 30-59 days delinquent, 60-89 days delinquent, 90+ days delinquent, foreclosure or REO – and proprietary loss migration models (i.e. percentage of 30 day delinquents that will ultimately migrate to default, percentage of 60 day delinquents that will ultimately migrate to default, etc.). The model assumes that the 60 day plus population will move to repossession inventory subject to our loss migration assumptions and liquidate over the next 24 months. Defaults vector from month 25 to month 36 to our month 37 CDR value and ultimately vector to zero over an extended period of time of at least 15 years.

Note 6—Mortgage-Backed Securities—continued

 

Default assumptions are benchmarked to the recent results experienced by major servicers of non-Agency MBS for securities with similar attributes and forecasts from other industry experts and industry research.

Loss Severity

Estimates for loss severity are based on the initial loan to value ratio, the loan’s lien position, private mortgage insurance proceeds available (if any), and the estimated change in the price of the property since origination. The historical change in the value of the property is estimated using the Housing Pricing Indices by Metropolitan Statistical Area (“MSA”) produced by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”).

Estimates for future changes in the prices of the residences collateralizing the mortgages is based on the Case Shiller forecasts and forecasts by MSA provided by the Housing Predictor website.

The loss severity assumption is static for twelve months then decreases monthly based on future market appreciation. The annual market appreciation assumption is 3.50% after 12 months. The loss severity is subject to a floor value of 23.00%.

Loss severity is benchmarked to the recent results of the loan collateral supporting the securities and the results experienced by major servicers of non-agency mortgage-backed-securities for securities with similar attributes.

The prepayment, default and loss severity assumptions result in forecasted cumulative loss rates. These cumulative loss rates are benchmarked to the projected cumulative losses by product, by year of origination, released by other industry experts.

The collateral cash flows that result from the prepayment, default and loss severity assumptions are applied to securities supporting the collateral by priority based upon the cash flow waterfall rules provided in the prospectus supplement. The cash flows are then discounted at the appropriate interest rate in order to determine if the impairment on a security is other than temporary.

Note 7– Disclosures About Credit Quality and the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

Classes

For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, The Company has segmented certain loans in the portfolio by product type. Loans are segmented into the following pools: residential real estate loans, commercial, construction, home equity loans, automobile loans and other consumer loans. The company also separates these segments into classes based on the associated risks within these segments. Commercial loans are divided into the following five classes: construction, land acquisition and development, commercial loans secured by real estate, commercial loans unsecured and leases. Residential loans are divided into two classes, residential owner occupied and residential rental properties.

Each class of loan requires significant judgment to determine the estimation method that fits the credit risk characteristics of its portfolio segment. Management must use judgment in establishing additional input metrics for the modeling process. The assumptions used to determine the allowance are independently validated and reviewed to ensure that their theoretical foundation, assumptions, data integrity, computational processes, reporting practices, and end user controls are appropriate and properly documented.

Historical loss percentages are also utilized to assist in projecting potential future losses.

Based on credit risk assessment and management’s analysis of leading predictors of losses, additional loss multipliers are applied to loan balances. During the period management has applied additional loss estimations based on the current environmental factors, geographical concentrations, the state of the local economy and current bankruptcy rates.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company has several credit quality indicators to manage credit risk in an ongoing manner. The Company’s primary credit quality indicators are to use an internal credit risk rating system that categorizes loans and leases into pass, special mention, or classified categories. Credit risk ratings are applied individually to those classes of loans and leases that have significant or unique credit characteristics that benefit from a case-by-case evaluation. These are typically loans and leases to businesses or individuals in the classes which comprise the commercial portfolio segment. Groups of loans and leases that are underwritten and structured using standardized criteria and characteristics, such as statistical models (e.g., credit scoring or payment performance), are typically risk rated and monitored collectively. These are typically loans and leases to individuals in the classes which comprise the consumer portfolio segment. Loan classifications are generated on a monthly basis.

The following are the definitions of the Company’s credit quality indicators:

Pass

Asset is of sufficient quality to not warrant any mention whatsoever.

Special Mention

These credit facilities have potential developing weaknesses that deserve extra attention from the Account Manager and other management personnel. This classification may be warranted if a developing weakness is evident that is associated with the ability of the borrower to repay. If a developing weakness is not corrected or mitigated, there may be deterioration in the ability of the borrower to repay the bank’s debt in the future. This grade should not be assigned to loans that bear certain peculiar risks normally associated with the type of financing involved, unless circumstances have caused the risk to increase to a level higher than would have been acceptable when the credit was originally approved.

Substandard

Loans and other credit extensions bearing this grade are considered to be inadequately protected by the current net worth and debt service capacity of the borrower or of any pledged collateral. These obligations, even if apparently protected by collateral value, have well-defined weaknesses related to adverse financial, managerial, economic, market, or political conditions that have clearly jeopardized repayment of principal and interest as originally intended. Furthermore, there is the possibility that some future loss will be sustained by the bank if such weaknesses are not corrected. Clear loss potential, however, does not have to exist in any individual assets classified as substandard.

Doubtful

Loans and other credit extensions doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those substandard with the added characteristic that the severity of the weaknesses makes collection or liquidation in full highly questionable or improbable based upon currently existing facts, conditions and values. The probability of some loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors, the amount of loss cannot be determined. Such pending factors could include merger or liquidation, additional capital injection, refinancing plans, or perfection of liens on additional collateral. Loans in this classification should be placed in non-accrual status, with collections applied to principal on the bank’s books.

Loss

Loans in this classification are considered uncollectible and cannot be justified as a viable asset of the Bank. This classification does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but that it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off this loan even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. A portion of a loan may also be assigned this rating since the Bank may determine that the balance of the loan is collectible.

(1) Includes single-family residential mortgages and single-family rental properties.

Single-Family Residential Real Estate Lending. The Bank historically has been and continues to be an originator of single-family, residential real estate loans in its market area. The Bank has never participated in the origination of Sub-prime lending and, accordingly, has no direct exposure to this type of lending within its loan portfolio. The Bank originates fixed-rate mortgage loans at competitive interest rates. Due to interest rate risk considerations, the Bank has employed a strategy of selling most fixed-rate single-family residential mortgage loans originated into the secondary market.

A portion of the Bank’s single-family mortgage loans carried adjustable rates. After the initial term, the rate adjustments on the Bank’s adjustable-rate loans are indexed to a rate which adjusts per loan terms based upon changes in an index based on the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant comparable maturity of one year, as made available by the Federal Reserve Board. The interest rates on most of the Bank’s adjustable-rate mortgage loans are adjusted once a year, and the Bank offers loans that have an initial adjustment period of one, three or five years. The maximum adjustment is 2% per adjustment period with a maximum aggregate adjustment of 6% over the life of the loan. All of the Bank’s adjustable-rate loans require that any payment adjustment resulting from a change in the interest rate be sufficient to result in full amortization of the loan by the end of the loan term and, thus, do not permit any of the increased payment to be added to the principal amount of the loan, known as “negative amortization.”

Note 7—Disclosures About Credit Quality and the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans—continued

 

The retention of adjustable-rate loans in the Bank’s portfolio helps reduce the Bank’s exposure to increases in prevailing market interest rates. However, there are unquantifiable credit risks resulting from potential increases in costs to borrowers in the event of upward repricing of adjustable-rate loans. It is possible that during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate loans may increase due to increases in interest costs to borrowers. Further, although adjustable-rate loans allow the Bank to increase the sensitivity of its interest-earning assets to changes in interest rates, the extent of this interest sensitivity is limited by the initial fixed-rate period before the first adjustment and the lifetime interest rate adjustment limitations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that yields on the Bank’s adjustable-rate loans will fully adjust to compensate for increases in the Bank’s cost of funds. Finally, adjustable-rate loans increase the Bank’s exposure to decreases in prevailing market interest rates, although decreases in the Bank’s cost of funds tend to offset this effect.

Single-Family Rental Property Loans. The Bank also offers single-family residential mortgage loans secured by properties that are not owner-occupied, although management has decided to limit future origination volume for this loan product. Single-family residential mortgage loans secured by nonowner-occupied properties are made on a fixed-rate or an adjustable-rate basis and carry interest rates generally from 1.5% to 2.0% above the rates charged on comparable loans secured by owner-occupied properties. The maximum term on such loans is 10 years with amortizations up to 20 years.

Commercial Real Estate Lending. The Bank’s commercial real estate loan portfolio includes loans to finance the acquisition of office buildings, churches, commercial office condominiums, shopping centers, hospitality, and commercial and industrial buildings. Such loans generally range in size from $100,000 to $5 million. Commercial real estate loans are originated on a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate basis with terms 5 to 10 years with amortizations of up to 25 years.

Commercial real estate lending entails significant additional risks as compared with single-family residential property lending. Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. The payment experience on such loans typically is dependent on the successful operation of the real estate project, retail establishment or business. These risks can be significantly impacted by supply and demand conditions in the market for office and retail space and, as such, may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the economy generally. To minimize these risks, the Bank generally limits itself to its market area or to borrowers with which it has prior experience or who are otherwise known to the Bank. It is the Bank’s policy generally to obtain annual financial statements of the business of the borrower or the project for which commercial real estate loans are made. In addition, in the case of commercial real estate loans made to a legal entity, the Bank seeks, whenever possible, to obtain personal guarantees and annual financial statements of the principals of the legal entity.

Construction Lending. A substantial portion of the Bank’s construction loans are originated for the construction of owner-occupied, single-family dwellings in the Bank’s primary market area. Residential construction loans are offered primarily to individuals building their primary or secondary residence, as well as to selected local developers to build single-family dwellings. Generally, loans to owner/occupants for the construction of owner-occupied, single-family residential properties are originated in connection with the permanent loan on the property and have a construction term of up to 12 months. Such loans are offered on fixed rate terms. Interest rates on residential construction loans made to the owner/occupant have interest rates during the construction period equal to the same rate on the permanent loan selected by the customer. Interest rates on residential construction loans to builders are set at the prime rate plus a margin of between 0% and 1.5%, typically with interest rate floors. Interest rates on commercial construction loans are based on the prime rate plus a negotiated margin of between 0% and 1.5% and adjust monthly, typically with interest rate floors with construction terms generally not exceeding 18 months. Advances are made on a percentage of completion basis. Prior to making a commitment to fund a loan, the Bank requires both an appraisal of the property by appraisers approved by the Board of Directors and a study of projected construction costs. The Bank also reviews and inspects each project at the commencement of construction and as needed prior to disbursements during the term of the construction loan.

Note 7—Disclosures About Credit Quality and the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans—continued

 

On occasion, the Bank makes acquisition and development loans to local developers to acquire and develop land for sale to builders who will construct single-family residences. Acquisition and development loans, which are considered by the Bank to be construction loans, are made at a rate that adjusts monthly, based on the prime rate plus a negotiated margin with a floor, typically with interest rate floors for terms of up to three years. Interest only is paid during the term of the loan, and the principal balance of the loan is paid down as developed lots are sold to builders. Generally, in connection with acquisition and development loans, the Bank issues a letter of credit to secure the developer’s obligation to local governments to complete certain work. If the developer fails to complete the required work, the Bank would be required to fund the cost of completing the work up to the amount of the letter of credit. Letters of credit generate fee income for the Bank but create additional risk.

Construction financing generally is considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction or development and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate and the borrower is unable to meet the Bank’s requirements of putting up additional funds to cover extra costs or change orders, then the Bank will demand that the loan be paid off and, if necessary, institute foreclosure proceedings, or refinance the loan. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with collateral having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment. The Bank has sought to minimize this risk by limiting construction lending to qualified borrowers (i.e., borrowers who satisfy all credit requirements and whose loans satisfy all other underwriting standards which would apply to the Bank’s permanent mortgage loan financing for the subject property) in the Bank’s market area. On loans to builders, the Bank works only with selected builders and carefully monitors the creditworthiness of the builders.

Commercial Lines of Credit. The Bank provides commercial lines of credit to businesses within the Bank’s market area. These loans are secured by business assets, including real property, equipment, automobiles and consumer leases. Generally, all loans are further personally guaranteed by the owners of the business. The commercial lines have adjustable interest rates tied to the prime rate, typically with interest rate floors and are offered at rates from prime plus 0% to prime plus 3.5%.

Consumer Lending. The consumer loans currently in the Bank’s loan portfolio consist of automobile loans, home equity lines of credit and loans secured by savings deposits.

Automobile loans are secured by both new and used cars and, depending on the creditworthiness of the borrower, may be made for up to 110% of the “invoice price” or clean “black book” value, whichever is lower, or, with respect to used automobiles, the loan values as published by a wholesale value listing utilized by the automobile industry. Automobile loans are made directly to the borrower-owner. New and used cars are financed for a period generally of up to six years, or less, depending on the age of the car. Collision insurance is required for all automobile loans. The Bank also maintains a blanket collision insurance policy that provides insurance for any borrower who allows their insurance to lapse.

The Bank originates second mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit. Second mortgage loans are made at fixed rates and for terms of up to 15 years. The Bank’s home equity lines of credit currently have adjustable interest rates tied to the prime rate and are currently offered at the prime rate with a floor of 4%. The interest rate may not adjust to a rate higher than 24%. The home equity lines of credit require monthly payments until the loan is paid in full, with a loan term not to exceed 30 years. The minimum monthly payment is the outstanding interest. Home equity lines of credit are secured by subordinate liens against residential real property. The Bank requires that fire and extended coverage casualty insurance (and, if appropriate, flood insurance) be maintained in an amount at least sufficient to cover its loan.

The Bank makes savings account loans for up to 90% of the depositor’s savings account balance. The interest rate is normally 3.0% above the rate paid on the related savings account, and the account must be pledged as collateral to secure the loan. Interest generally is billed on a quarterly basis.

As part of the Bank’s loan strategy, the Bank has diversified its lending portfolio to afford the Bank the opportunity to earn higher yields and to provide a fuller range of banking services. These products have generally been in the consumer area and include boat loans and loans for the purchase of recreational vehicles.

Note 7—Disclosures About Credit Quality and the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans—continued

 

Consumer lending usually affords the Bank the opportunity to earn yields higher than those obtainable on single-family residential lending. However, consumer loans entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of loans which are unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciable assets. Repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. The remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by events such as job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.

Nonperforming Loans and Other Problem Assets. It is management’s policy to continually monitor its loan portfolio to anticipate and address potential and actual delinquencies. When a borrower fails to make a payment on a loan, the Bank takes immediate steps to have the delinquency cured and the loan restored to current status. Loans which are past due 15 days incur a late fee of 5% of principal and interest due. As a matter of policy, the Bank will send a late notice to the borrower after the loan has been past due 15 days and again after 30 days. If payment is not promptly received, the borrower is contacted again, and efforts are made to formulate an affirmative plan to cure the delinquency. Generally, after any loan is delinquent 90 days or more, formal legal proceedings are commenced to collect amounts owed. In the case of automobile loans, late notices are sent after loans are ten days delinquent, and the collateral is seized after a loan is delinquent 60 days. Repossessed cars subsequently are sold at auction.

Loans generally are placed on nonaccrual status if the loan becomes past due more than 90 days, except in instances where in management’s judgment there is no doubt as to full collectability of principal and interest, or management concludes that payment in full is not likely. Consumer loans are generally charged-off, or any expected loss is reserved for, after they become more than 120 days past due. All other loans are charged-off, or any expected loss is reserved for when management concludes that they are uncollectible.

Note 7—Disclosures About Credit Quality and the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans—continued

 

Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure is classified as real estate acquired through foreclosure until such time as it is sold. When such property is acquired, it is initially recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value and subsequently at the lower of book value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Costs relating to holding such real estate are charged against income in the current period, while costs relating to improving such real estate are capitalized until a saleable condition is reached. Any required write-down of the loan to its fair value less estimated selling costs upon foreclosure is charged against the allowance for loan losses.

Charge-off Policies

The Company’s loan charge-off policies are as follows:

When loans become 90 days delinquent the Bank performs an analysis to determine if a loss is expected. Loans are generally charged down to the fair value of collateral securing the asset, less estimated cost to sell, when management judges the asset to be uncollectible, repayment is deemed to be protracted beyond reasonable time frames; the asset has been classified as loss by either the internal loan review process or external examiners, the borrower has filed bankruptcy and the loss becomes evident based on a lack of assets.

Note 12 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20.” The provisions of ASU No. 2010-20 required the disclosure of more granular information on the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings and their effect on the allowance for loan and lease losses effective for the Company’s reporting period ended March 31, 2011. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-01 defer the effective date related to these disclosures, enabling creditors to provide such disclosures after the FASB completes their project clarifying the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. As the provisions of this ASU only defer the effective date of disclosure requirements related to troubled debt restructurings, the adoption of this ASU will have no impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 provide additional guidance related to determining whether a creditor has granted a concession, include factors and examples for creditors to consider in evaluating whether a restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant, prohibit creditors from using the borrower’s effective rate test to evaluate whether a concession has been granted to the borrower, and add factors for creditors to use in determining whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. A provision in ASU No. 2011-02 also ends the FASB’s deferral of the additional disclosures about troubled debt restructurings as required by ASU No. 2010-20. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 are effective for the Company’s reporting period ending September 30, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition.

In April, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” ASU No. 2011-03 affects all entities that enter into agreements to transfer financial assets that both entitle and obligate the transferor to repurchase or redeem the financial assets before their maturity. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-03 remove from the assessment of effective control the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. ASU No. 2011-03 also eliminates the requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets. The guidance is effective for the Company’s reporting period ended March 31, 2012. The guidance will be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transaction that occur on or after January 1, 2012.

Note 13 – 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 loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Company has $557,000 of standby letters of credit as of March 31, 2011. 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, 2011 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not considered to be material.

Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies guidance issued by FASB regarding fair value measurements which provided a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. This guidance applies only to fair value measurements required or permitted under current accounting pronouncements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants as of the measurement date. The statement also expands disclosures about financial instruments that are measured at fair value and eliminates the use of large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets. The disclosure’s emphasis is on the inputs used to measure fair value and the effect on the measurement on earnings for the period. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Note 14—Fair Value Measurements—continued

 

GAAP establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based on the inputs used to value the particular asset or liability at the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

   

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted process of identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

   

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Each financial instrument’s level assignment with the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement for the particular category. Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications of the Company’s assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis.

There were $253,000 in transfers between levels during the six months ended March 31, 2011. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the actual date of the event or change in the circumstances that caused the transfer. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of each instrument under the valuation hierarchy.

Securities Available for Sale

Fair values of investment securities are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows and are generally classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The following tables present the financial instruments measured at fair value by class on the recurring basis as of March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010 on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition utilizing the hierarchy discussed above.

Nonrecurring fair value changes

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment that may require write-downs. The write-downs for the Company’s more significant assets or liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are based on the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value.

Impaired Loans

The Company considers loans to be impaired when it becomes probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All non-accrual loans are considered impaired. The measurement of impaired loans is based on the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, the market price of the loan, or the fair value of the underlying collateral asset.

Foreclosed Real Estate and Repossessed Assets

Once an asset is determined to be uncollectible, the underlying collateral is repossessed and reclassified to Foreclosed Real Estate and Repossessed Assets. These assets are carried at lower of cost or fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell. There was $2.1 million in foreclosed real estate at March 31, 2011.

Impaired loans, Foreclosed Real Estate and Repossessed Assets are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy.

Note 15 – Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments are summarized below. The fair values of a significant portion of these financial instruments are estimates derived using present value techniques prescribed by the FASB and may not be indicative of the net realizable or liquidation values. Also, the calculation of estimated fair values is based on market conditions at a specific point in time and may not reflect current or future fair values.

The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value for cash, federal funds and interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Fair value is based on bid prices and pricing models received from third party pricing services for investment securities and mortgage backed securities. The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta stock is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Loans receivable were discounted using a single discount rate, comparing the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. These rates were used for each aggregated category of loans as reported on the Office of Thrift Supervision Quarterly Report. The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The Junior Subordinated Debentures are considered to be at fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered on deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank advances is estimated using rates currently offered on advances of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable, accrued interest payable, and mortgage servicing rights approximate fair value. Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

The Company charges fees for commitments to extend credit. Interest rates on loans for which these commitments are extended are normally committed for periods of less than one month. Fees charged on standby letters of credit and other financial guarantees are deemed to be immaterial and these guarantees are expected to be settled at face amount or expire unused. It is impractical to assign any fair value to these commitments.

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

General

The Company is a Maryland corporation which was organized to be the stock holding company for the Bank in connection with our second-step conversion and reorganization completed on April 10, 2008, discussed further below. The Bank operates as a federally chartered stock savings association. The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured up to a maximum of $250,000 by the FDIC. The Bank’s noninterest earning demand deposit accounts have unlimited FDIC insurance.

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 and Estimates

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.

Securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. The term “other than temporary” is not intended to indicate a permanent decline in value. Rather, it means that the prospects for near term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the investment. Under the revised guidance, for recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments the amount of other-than-temporary impairment that is recognized through earnings for debt securities is determined by comparing the present value of the expected cash flows to the amortized cost of the security. The revised guidance also requires that an evaluation be done to determine whether the Company has the intent to sell or is more likely than not required to sell these securities. The discount rate used to determine the credit loss is the expected book yield on the security.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset/liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for the future consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period indicated by the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets when, in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become realizable. The judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond the Company’s control. It is at least reasonably possible that management’s judgment about

 

34


the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets could change in the near term.

SEC reports are available on this site as soon as reasonably practicable after electronically filed.

Recent Developments

Repurchase of Series A Preferred Stock

On January 26, 2011 the Company repurchased all $10.8 million of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury in March 2008 pursuant to the TARP Capital Purchase Program. BCSB completed the repayment without raising additional capital. The TARP repayment will save the Company $540,000 in annual preferred dividends. As a result of the redemption, the Company had to accelerate accretion of the remaining discount on the preferred stock and record a reduction in retained earnings, thereby reducing net income available to common shareholders by approximately $310,000 during the three months ending March 31, 2011. The warrant issued to the U.S, Treasury has not been repurchased and remains outstanding, for further information, see “— Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

On April 8, 2011 the Company announced their application submittal to the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation of the State of Maryland to convert its charter from a federally chartered savings bank to a Maryland-chartered commercial bank. BCSB Bancorp, Inc. has also filed an application with the Federal Reserve Bank to become a bank holding company. The charter change will not have any significant financial or regulatory impact or affect BCSB’s current activities. Subject to receiving the necessary regulatory approvals, the charter conversion is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2011.

On January 18, 2011, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T”) and executed a Promissory Note in connection with the receipt of an 18-month revolving loan facility from M&T in the maximum principal amount of $2.0 million which matures on June 1, 2012. Pursuant to the terms of a Pledge Agreement entered into on the same date as the Credit Agreement, the loan is secured by the Company’s stock in its wholly owned subsidiary, Baltimore County Savings Bank, F.S.B. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants that are valid as between the parties and as of the date of entering into such Credit Agreement. The description of the Credit Agreement is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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.

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, 2011 and September 30, 2010

During the six months ended March 31, 2011, assets increased by $4.2 million, or .7%, from $620.6 million at September 30, 2010 to $624.8 million at March 31, 2011. Our cash and cash equivalents decreased $20.5 million, or 18.8% from $108.9 million at September 30, 2010 to $88.4 million at March 31, 2011, primarily due to the deployment of available liquidity to purchase investment securities and mortgage-backed securities. During the six months ended March 31, 2011 investment securities increased by $5.0 million, or 27.2% from $18.4 million at September 30, 2010 to $23.4 million at March 31, 2011. Mortgage-backed securities available for sale increased by $33.2 million, or 50.4%, from $66.0 million at September 30, 2010 to $99.2 million at March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2011, all mortgage-backed securities were classified as available for sale for liquidity purposes. Net loans receivable decreased $14.2 million, or

 

35


3.7%, from $388.0 million at September 30, 2010 to $373.8 million at March 31, 2011. Residential loans have decreased due to accelerated repayments. Commercial loan volume has also decreased due to a decline in the demand for commercial loans. Management’s lending strategy remains focused on commercial real estate, commercial business and home equity lending.

Deposits increased by $8.8 million, or 1.7%, from $534.4 million at September 30, 2010 to $543.2 million at March 31, 2011. The Bank has been successful in attracting new deposits without increasing the overall cost for such funds.

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $10.9 million, or 17.8%, from $61.4 million at September 30, 2010 to $50.5 million at March 31, 2011. This decrease was due primarily to the repurchase of all $10.8 million of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury in December 2008 pursuant to the TARP Capital Purchase Program. BCSB completed the repayment without raising additional capital. There was also an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Our accumulated other comprehensive loss net of taxes was $722,000 at March 31, 2011, compared to accumulated other comprehensive loss net of taxes of $405,000 at September 30, 2010. At March 31, 2011, we had $2.6 million of gross unrealized losses related to private label collateralized mortgage obligations with an amortized cost of $15.6 million as of that date. These securities contain mortgages with Alt-A characteristics. Gross unrealized losses for these same securities were approximately $2.6 million as of September 30, 2010. We recorded other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges of $100,000 on these securities during the year ended September 30, 2010. We do not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not we will be required to sell these securities before maturity or recovery. If in the future it is determined that future declines in market values or credit losses with respect to these or any other securities are other than temporary, the Company would be required to recognize additional losses in its Consolidate Statement of Operations.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

Net Income. Net loss available to common shareholders was $340,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2011 and $282,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the accelerated accretion of the remaining discount on preferred stock repurchased, which approximated $310,000 in addition to normal accretion of $21,000 and $21,000 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 respectively. Also, net interest income decreased during the six months ended March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010 and non-interest expenses increased during the six months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in the preceding year. Our results benefited by a lower provision for losses on loans during the six months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2010.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased by $754,000, or 7.7%, from $9.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to $9.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in net interest income primarily was due to lower yields and lower average balances on loans and mortgage-backed securities. The average balance on mortgage-backed securities decreased due to the sale of approximately $20.4 million of mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The sale offset the loss from disposing of a problem CMO, which had resulted in cumulative OTTI charges if $600,000. This was partially offset by higher average balances and higher yields on investment securities, and reduced cost of funds on the deposit portfolio during the period. The net interest margin decreased 43 basis points from 3.57% for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to 3.14% for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $1.2 million, or 8.3% from $14.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to $13.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. This was primarily due to lower yields and lower average balances on loans and mortgage-backed securities. The average rate earned on total interest-earning assets declined by 68 basis points from 5.37% for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to 4.69% for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, which consists of interest on deposits, interest on junior subordinated debentures and other interest expense decreased from $4.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to $4.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $462,000 or 9.4%. Interest on deposits decreased $466,000 from $4.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to $4.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. This decrease was due to the decrease in the average cost of deposits of 30 basis points from 1.83% for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to 1.53% for the six months ended March 31, 2011. This was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits of $37.4 million from $504.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to $541.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

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, 2011 and 2010. 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 net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets.

Provision for Loan Losses. We charge or credit to income provisions for loan losses to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level we consider adequate to provide for losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. In determining the provision, we consider a number of factors such as existing loan levels, prior loss experience, current economic conditions and the probability of these conditions affecting existing loans. We established an additional $800,000 provision for losses on loans during the six months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to a provision of $2.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010. Additional loan loss provisions were necessary to address troubled assets, particularly in relation to the single family rental property loans portfolio. Nonperforming loans were $9.1 million at March 31, 2011 versus $12.8 million at September 30, 2010, the Company’s prior fiscal year end. Most of the nonperforming assets consisted of commercial loans which decreased to $5.8 million at March 31, 2011 from $10.4 million at September 30, 2010 primarily due to the foreclosure and transfer of certain non performing assets to other real estate owned. Loan charge-offs for the six months ended March 31, 2011 were $2.5 million as compared to $49,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $2.4 million. Loan recoveries were $46,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $62,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010. In establishing such provisions, we considered an analysis of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. For additional information see “Asset Quality”.

Other Income. Other income increased $121,000, or 10.0%, from $1.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to $1.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in other income for the six months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a decrease in other than temporary impairment charges of $100,000. There was also an increase in income from the Bank Owned Life Insurance of $28,000, or 9.5% and an increase in miscellaneous income of $81,000, or 14.2%, which was primarily due to additional commissions from investment services. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $73,000, or 19.1%, in fees on transaction accounts.

Non-interest Expenses. Total non-interest expenses increased by $743,000, or 8.7%, from $8.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to $9.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. This was primarily due an increase in other expenses of $372,000, or 265.7% from $140,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to $512,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2011. This was primarily due to increased cost associated with impaired loans and foreclosed real estate. Salaries and related benefits also increased by $258,000, or 5.5% from $4.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to $4.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. The increase related primarily to additional personnel and increased benefit costs. Federal deposit insurance premiums increased by $47,000, or 9.7% from $486,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to $533,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was due to an increase in the deposit portfolio. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in property and equipment expense of $126,000, or 26.8% from $470,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to $344,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in property and equipment expenses was primarily due to decreased depreciation expense as certain fixed assets became fully depreciated.

 

38


Income Taxes. Our income tax (benefit) was $(11,000) and $(133,000) for the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The change in income taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to increased pretax earnings.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

Net Income. Net loss available to common shareholders decreased by $566,000 or 71.2%, from $795,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to of $229,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to lesser loan loss provisions partially offset by the accelerated accretion of the remaining discount on preferred stock repurchased, which approximated $310,000 in addition to normal accretion of $21,000, decreased net interest income and increased non-interest expenses.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased by $290,000, or 6.0%, from $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in net interest income primarily was attributable to the decreased volume of loans and decreased volume and yield on mortgage backed securities. The decreased yield on mortgage-backed securities was primarily the result of the sale of approximately $20.4 million of mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The sale offset the loss from disposing of a problem CMO, which had resulted in cumulative OTTI charges if $600,000. Offsetting the effects of these events was a decline in cost of funds on deposits.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $576,000, or 8.0% from $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This was primarily due to decreases in average balances on loans receivable and mortgaged backed securities and decreased average yields on mortgage backed securities. The decline in loans was $21.4 million, or 5.3% in the average balance of loans receivable, from $402.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $380.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was due to declines in loan origination volume and normal principle repayments. Commercial loan volume has declined due to the current economic environment. Average balances for mortgage backed securities declined by $7.7 million from $85.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $77.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was due to normal principal paydowns.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, which consists of interest on deposits, interest on borrowed money and other interest expense, decreased from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $286,000 or 12.0%. Interest on deposits decreased $289,000, or 12.9%, from $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This decrease was due to the decrease in the average cost of deposits of 32 basis points from 1.76% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 1.44% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This was partially offset by a 6.5% increase in the average balance of deposits of $33.1 million from $508.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $541.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Other interest expense, which consists primarily of the interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures increased by $3,000, or 2.0% from $149,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $152,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The rates on the Junior Subordinated Debentures are based on LIBOR and adjust quarterly.

In determining the provision, we consider a number of factors such as existing loan levels, prior loss experience, current economic conditions and the probability of these conditions affecting existing loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 we did not establish additional provisions for losses on loans, as compared to a provision of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. There were no reserves added to the provision during the three months ended March 31, 2011 based upon a loss reserve assessment conducted in relation to our loan portfolio at that time. This analysis indicated that current reserve levels of $5.0 million were sufficient when considering changes in the composition of the loan portfolio and troubled assets. In addition, charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $2.2 million as compared to $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The $2.2 million charge-off was primarily associated with the transfer of a loan collateralized with commercial real estate utilized as an owner occupied manufacturing facility to Foreclosed Real Estate. In establishing such provisions, we considered an analysis of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. For additional information see “Asset Quality.”

Other Income. Other income increased $38,000, or 7.5%, from $504,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $542,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in other income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was attributable to a decrease in other than temporary impairment charges of $100,000 and an increase in income from Bank Owned Life Insurance of $19,000 from $145,0000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $164, 000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This was partially offset by decreases in fees on transaction accounts and commissions from investment services.

Noninterest Expenses. Total non-interest expenses increased by $584,000, or 13.6%, from $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This was primarily due other expenses which increased by $279,000, or 457.4%, from $61,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $340,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was primarily due to costs associated with impaired loans and foreclosed real estate. Salaries and related expense also increased by $185,000, or 7.9% from $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase related to additional personnel and benefit costs. Professional fees increased by $134,000, or 122.9% from $109,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $243,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was primarily related to legal and consulting services associated with TARP redemption, securing a line of credit at M & T Bank and applying for charter conversion, all of which took place during the period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in property and equipment expenses of $105,000, or 38.0% from $276,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $171,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in property and equipment expenses was primarily due to decreased depreciation expense as certain fixed assets have become fully depreciated.

Income Taxes. Our income tax expense (benefit) was $46,000 and $(491,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The change in income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior

year was primarily due to increased pretax earnings. Our effective tax rate is impacted by income received from Bank Owned Life Insurance, which is not subject to income taxes.

Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk including commitments to extend credit under existing lines of credit and commitments to sell loans. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit and interest rate risk are summarized as follows:

 

     At March  31
2011
     At September 30,
2010
 
     (In thousands)  

Commitments to originate new loans

   $ 1,757       $ 3,657   

Unfunded commitments to extend credit under existing equity line and commercial lines of credit

     34,263         35,936   

Commercial letters of credit

     557         853   

Commitments to originate new loans or to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Loan commitments generally expire within 30 to 45 days. Most equity line commitments for the unfunded portion of equity lines are for a term of 20 years, and commercial lines of credit are generally renewable on an annual basis. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.

Asset Quality

At March 31, 2011, we had $11.3 million in non-performing assets, consisting of nonaccrual loans and repossessed assets representing 1.8% of total assets. At September 30, 2010 non-performing assets were $12.8 million or 2.06% of assets. Our net (charge-offs) recoveries for the six months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 were $(2.4) million and $13,000, respectively. Our allowance for loan losses was $5.0 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $6.6 million at September 30, 2010.

At March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, TDRs totaling $1.1 million and $3.2 million were not delinquent. Reporting guidance requires disclosure of these loans as nonperforming if they have not been current for at least six consecutive months.

Regulations require that we classify assets on a regular basis. There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful and loss. We regularly review our assets to determine whether any assets require classification or re-classification. At March 31, 2011, the Company had $24.6 million in classified assets, consisting of $9.2 million in substandard and loss loans, $13.2 million in substandard CMO’s, and $2.2 million in foreclosed property. At September 30, 2010, the Company had $27.7 million in classified assets consisting of $13.4 million in substandard and loss loans, $14.3 million in substandard CMO’s and $0 in foreclosed property or other real estate owned. For further information see note 7 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

In addition to regulatory classifications, we also classify as “special mention” assets that are currently performing in accordance with their contractual terms but may exhibit some form of credit weakness and may become classified or non-performing assets in the future. At March 31, 2011, we have identified approximately $12.9 million in assets classified as special mention. At September 30, 2010, $10.6 million in assets were classified as special mention.

The Bank’s methodology for establishing the allowance for loan losses takes into consideration probable losses that have been identified in connection with specific assets as well as losses that have not been identified but are expected to have occurred. Management conducts regular reviews of the Banks’ assets and evaluates the need to establish allowances on the basis of these reviews. Allowances are established by management and reviewed by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis based on an assessment of risk in the Bank’s assets taking into consideration the composition and quality of the portfolio, delinquency trends, current charge-off and loss experience, loan concentrations, the state of the real estate market, regulatory reviews conducted in the regulatory examination process and economic conditions generally. Additional provisions for losses on loans are made in order to bring the allowance to a level deemed adequate. Specific reserves will be provided for individual assets, or portions of assets, when ultimate collection is considered improbable by management based on the current payment status of the assets and the fair value of the collateral.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2011, the Bank exceeded all regulatory minimum capital requirements. For information comparing the Bank’s capital levels to the regulatory requirements, see Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits and proceeds from maturing investment securities and mortgage-backed securities and principal and interest payments on loans. While maturities and scheduled amortization of mortgage-backed securities and loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, competition and other factors.

The primary investing activities of the Company are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities. During the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had $32.3 million and $36.6 million, respectively, of gross loan originations. During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Company purchased $55.4 million in investment securities and mortgage-backed securities. During the six months ended March 31, 2010 the Company did not purchase any investment or mortgage-backed securities. The primary financing activity of the Company is the attraction of savings deposits.

The Bank is required to maintain adequate levels of liquid assets as defined by OTS regulations. The Bank’s average daily liquidity ratio for the month of March was approximately 37.0%. Management seeks to maintain a relatively high level of liquidity in order to retain flexibility in terms of investment opportunities and deposit pricing. Because liquid assets generally provide for lower rates of return, the Bank’s relatively high liquidity will, to a certain extent, result in lower rates of return on assets.

The Company’s most liquid assets are cash, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, which are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than six months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company’s operating, financing and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2011, cash, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold were $6.4 million, $12.7 million and $69.2 million, respectively.

The Company has other sources of liquidity if there is a need for funds. The Bank has the ability to obtain advances from the FHLB of Atlanta in excess of $156.0 million as of March 31, 2011. The Company also has a line of credit with M&T for $2.0 million, In addition, securities in the available for sale portfolio provide liquidity and the Company has the immediately liquid resources of cash, cash due from banks and federal funds sold if needed.

We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current commitments. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature in less than one year at March 31, 2011 totaled $118.3 million. Based on past experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with Baltimore County Savings Bank. Baltimore County Savings Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk made in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are standby letters of credit, lines of credit and commitments to fund mortgage loans and involve to varying degrees elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial position. The contract amounts of those instruments express the extent of involvement Baltimore County Savings Bank has in this class of financial instruments and represents Baltimore County Savings Bank’s exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party. Baltimore County Savings Bank generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance-sheet credit risk. At March 31, 2011, Baltimore County Savings Bank had commitments under standby letters of credit, lines of credit and commitments to originate loans of $557,000, $34.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

In March 2002, BCSB Bankcorp issued $12,887,000 of junior subordinated debentures to BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust, of which BCSB Bancorp now owns all of the common equity. The debentures carry a rate of 3.65% over the six month LIBOR rate, and reset quarterly. The rate was 3.9% at March 31, 2011. The debentures are the sole asset of BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust I. BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust I issued $12,500,000 of mandatory redeemable preferred securities to investors. BCSB Bancorp’s obligation under the debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by BCSB Bancorp of BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust I obligations under the preferred securities. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds that it retained from the 2008 completed stock offering to redeem $6.0 million of the $12.5 million in outstanding trust preferred securities issued by BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust I.

In September 2003, BCSB Bankcorp issued $10,310,000 of junior subordinated debentures to BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust II, a Delaware business trust, of which BCSB Bancorp now owns all of the common equity. The debentures carry a rate of 3.00% over the six month LIBOR rate, and reset quarterly. The rate was 3.3% at March 31, 2011. The debentures are the sole asset of BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust II. BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust II issued $10,000,000 of mandatory redeemable preferred securities to investors. BCSB

Bancorp’s obligation under the debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by BCSB Bancorp of BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust II obligations under the preferred securities.

Pursuant to these trust preferred securities, the Company, must make quarterly interest payments, which totaled $303,000 during six months ended March 31, 2010 and $307,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2011.

Pursuant to the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Repurchase Progam the Company issued to the U.S. Treasury (i) 10,800 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, liquidation preference $1,000 per share (“Series A preferred stock”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase 183,465 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,800,000 in cash. The warrant is exercisable at $8.83 per share at any time on or before March 23, 2018. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant and the exercise price per share will be adjusted if specific events occur.

The Series A preferred stock and the warrants were issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Neither the Series A preferred stock nor the warrants will be subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer. On January 26, 2011 the Company repurchased all $10.8 million of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury in December 2008 pursuant to the TARP Capital Purchase Program. BCSB completed the repayment without raising additional capital. The TARP repayment will save the Company $540,000 in annual preferred dividends. The warrant issued to the U.S, Treasury has not been repurchased and remains outstanding.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 3 is not necessary as the registrant is a smaller reporting company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that the design of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain reasonable assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no reasonable assurance that any design of disclosure controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote, but the Company’s principal executive and financial officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at a reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13a-15 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
