PRUDENTIAL BANCORP, INC. OF PENNSYLVANIA AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   
 
Basis of presentation –The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim information and therefore do not include all the information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. Certain financial information from the prior period has been condensed to conform to the current presentation. The results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, or any other period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Prudential Bancorp, Inc. of Pennsylvania (the “Company”) and the accompanying notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.
   
 
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial StatementsThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are recorded in the allowance for loan losses, deferred income taxes, and the fair value measurement for investment securities available for sale. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
 
Dividend Payable – On June 17, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.05 on the common stock of the Company payable on July 27, 2009 to the shareholders of record at the close of business on July 13, 2009 which resulted in a payable of $491,000 at June 30, 2009. A portion of the cash dividend was payable to Prudential Mutual Holding Company (the “MHC”) due to its ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock and totaled $365,000.
   
 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan – The Company maintains an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) for substantially all of its full-time employees. The ESOP purchased 452,295 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately $4.5 million in fiscal 2005. Shares of the Company’s common stock purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account until released for allocation to participants. Shares are allocated to each eligible participant based on the ratio of each such participant’s compensation, as defined in the ESOP, to the total compensation of all eligible plan participants. As the unearned shares are released from the suspense account, the Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they become committed to be released. To the extent that the fair value of the ESOP shares released differs from the cost of such shares, the difference is charged or credited to equity as additional paid-in capital. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had allocated a total of 84,825 shares from the suspense account to participants and committed to release an additional 11,310 shares. In addition, at such date of the total number of shares of Company common stock held by the ESOP was 450,200. For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized $170,000 in compensation expense.

Share-Based Compensation – The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees, and where appropriate non-employees, in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Under the fair value provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the appropriate vesting period using the straight-line method. However, consistent with SFAS No. 123(R), the amount of stock-based compensation recognized at any date must at least equal the portion of the grant date value of the award that is vested at that date and as a result it may be necessary to recognize the expense using a ratable method. Although the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) should generally be applied to non-employees, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees,” is used in determining the measurement date of the compensation expense for non-employees. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the date of grant requires judgment, including estimating the expected term of the stock options and the expected volatility of the Company’s stock. In addition, judgment is required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates or different key assumptions were used, it could have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding stock-based compensation.
   
 
Dividends with respect to non-vested share awards are held by the Company’s Recognition and Retention Plan (“Plan”) Trust (the “Trust”) for the benefit of the recipients and will be paid out proportionately by the Trust to the recipients of stock awards granted pursuant to the Plan as soon as practicable after the stock awards are earned.
   
 
Treasury Stock – Stock held in treasury by the Company is accounted for using the cost method, which treats stock held in treasury as a reduction to total stockholders’ equity. On January 21, 2009, the Company announced its seventh stock repurchase program to repurchase up to 198,000 shares or approximately 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock held by shareholders other than the MHC. The average cost per share of the approximately 1.5 million shares which have been repurchased by the Company was $12.84 for purchases through June 30, 2009. In addition, the MHC also announced on January 21, 2009 that its Board of Directors approved its second stock purchase plan to purchase up to 198,000 shares or approximately 5% of the Company’s common stock held by shareholders other than the MHC. As of June 30, 2009, the MHC had purchased 390,652 shares at an average cost of $11.31 per share. The repurchased shares are available for general corporate purposes.
   
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss) —The Company presents in the unaudited consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income those amounts arising from transactions and other events which currently are excluded from the statements of operations and are recorded directly to stockholders’ equity. For the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the only components of comprehensive income were net loss, unrealized holding gains and losses, net of income tax expense and benefit, on available for sale securities and reclassifications related to realized loss due to other than temporary impairment, net of tax. Reclassifications are made to avoid double counting in comprehensive income (loss) items which are displayed as part of net income for the period. These reclassifications are as follows:

FHLB Stock – Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock is classified as a restricted equity security because ownership is restricted and there is not an established market for its resale. FHLB stock is carried at cost and is evaluated for impairment when certain conditions warrant further consideration. The Company has been informed that the FHLB of Pittsburgh has ceased paying dividends on shares of stock and repurchasing shares thereof. While certain conditions are noted that required management to evaluate the stock for impairment it is currently not probable that the Company will not realize its cost basis. Management concluded that no impairment existed as of June 30, 2009.
   
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In March 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ratified EITF Issue No. 06-10, Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreement, (EITF 06-10). EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the associated asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment agreement. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. Upon adoption of the accounting guidance under EITF 06-10 as of October 1, 2008, the Company recognized a liability of $388,000 in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 12, Omnibus Opinion—1967 and recorded a corresponding reduction to retained earnings, net of tax, representing the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle.
   
 
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. The FSP delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the FSP on its financial statements.
   
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to require enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new standard has revised financial reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring more transparency about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FAS No. 161 requires disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also requires entities to provide more information about their liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Further, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. FAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position
   
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instrument. FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 require a public entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. FSP SFAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity adopting this FSP early must also adopt FSP SFAS No. 157-4 and FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2. The Company adopted FSP SFAS No. 107-1 as of June 30, 2009. Since FSP SFAS No. 107-1 amends only the disclosure requirements of financial instruments, the adoption of FSP SFAS No. 107-1 did not impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
   
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2 amends existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Under FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2, declines in the 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 to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity adopting FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2 early must also adopt FSP SFAS 157-4. The Company has chosen to early adopt FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2. As a result, provisions of the guidance are applicable to the Company as of January 1, 2009. See note 3 for discussion of the impact of adoption on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. FSP SFAS No. 157-4 includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity, affirms the objective of fair value when a market is not active, eliminates the presumption that all transactions are not orderly unless proven otherwise, and requires an entity to disclose inputs and valuation techniques, and changes therein, used to measure fair value. FSP SFAS No. 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity adopting FSP SFAS No. 157-4 early must also adopt FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2. The Company adopted the requirements of FSP No. 157-4 as of January 1, 2009; the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
   
 
In January 2009, the FASB issued final FSP No. EITF 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20. The FSP amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) has occurred. The FSP retains and emphasizes the OTTI guidance and required disclosures in Statement 115, FSP FAS 115-1 and SFAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5M, Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and other related literature. The FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and is to be applied prospectively. Retrospective application to a prior interim or annual reporting period is not permitted. Consistent with paragraph 15 of FSP FAS 115-1 and SFAS 124-1, any other-than temporary impairment resulting from the application of Statement 115 or Issue 99-20 shall be recognized in earnings, following applicable provisions for recognition of the OTTI under FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The adoption of the requirements of FSP No. EITF 99-20-1 by the Company did not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
   
 
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. This FSP addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 and has not yet determined the impact, if any, on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
   
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, which requires companies to evaluate events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the date the financial statements are issued, or available to be issued in the case of non-public entities. SFAS No. 165 requires entities to recognize in the financial statements the effect of all events or transactions that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including the estimates inherent in the financial preparation process. Entities shall not recognize the impact of events or transactions that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date but arose after that date. SFAS No. 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. SFAS No. 165 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of FAS No. 165 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, as required, and adoption did not have a material impact on Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. SFAS 166 removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE) from SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, and removes the exception from applying FIN 46(R). This statement also clarifies the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
   
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). FAS 167, which amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (FIN 46(R)), prescribes a qualitative model for identifying whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE) and eliminates the quantitative model prescribed by FIN 46(R). The new model identifies two primary characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) provides a company with the power to direct significant activities of the VIE, and (2) obligates a company to absorb losses of and/or provides rights to receive benefits from the VIE. SFAS No. 167 requires a company to reassess on an ongoing basis whether it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE. A company that holds a controlling financial interest is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and is required to consolidate the VIE. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
   
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The ‘FASB Accounting Standards Codification’ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification), which was officially launched on July 1, 2009, and became the primary source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the authority of Federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The subsequent issuances of new standards will be in the form of Accounting Standards Updates that will be included in the Codification. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. As the Codification is neither expected nor intended to change GAAP, the adoption of FAS No.168 will not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
   
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. This FSP requires companies acquiring contingent assets or assuming contingent liabilities in business combination to either (a) if the assets’ or liabilities’ fair value can be determined, recognize them at fair value, at the acquisition date, or (b) if the assets’ or liabilities’ fair value cannot be determined, but (i) it is probable that an asset existed or that a liability had been incurred at the acquisition date and (ii) the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated, recognize them at their estimated amount, at the acquisition date. If the fair value of these contingencies cannot be determined and they are not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, then companies should not recognize these contingencies as of the acquisition date and instead should account for them in subsequent periods by following other applicable GAAP. This FSP also eliminates the FAS 141R requirement of disclosing in the footnotes to the financial statements the range of expected outcomes for a recognized contingency. This FSP shall be effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
   
 
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, net of any treasury shares, during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, net of any treasury shares, after consideration of the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents (“CSEs”), based upon the treasury stock method using an average market price for the period.

Management has reviewed its investment securities and determined that for the nine month period ended June 30, 2009 unrealized losses of $5.3 million on a pre-tax basis for certain securities in the non-agency mortgage-backed portfolio classified as available for sale were deemed other than temporary.
   
 
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The Company determines whether the unrealized losses are temporary in accordance with EITF 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Asset as amended by FSP EITF 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20,when applicable, and FSP SFAS No. 115-1 and SFAS No. 124-1,The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments and FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. The evaluation is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors, the underlying collateral, if applicable, and the continuing performance of the securities. Management also evaluates other facts and circumstances that may be indicative of an OTTI condition. This includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of the type of security, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and near-term prospects of the issuer.
   
 
FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2 requires the Company to assess whether the credit loss existed by considering whether (1) the Company has the intent to sell the security, (2) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, or (3) it does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. The guidance allows the Company to bifurcate the OTTI impact on impaired securities where impairment in value was deemed to be other than temporary between the component representing credit loss and the component representing loss related to other factors. The portion of the fair value decline attributable to credit loss must be recognized through a charge to earnings. Credit component is determined by comparing the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the rate in effect before recognizing any OTTI with the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The Company uses the cash flow expected to be realized from the security, which includes assumptions about interest rates, timing and severity of defaults, estimates of potential recoveries, the cash flow distribution from the bond indenture and other factors, then applies a discount rate equal to the effective yield of the security. The difference between the present value of the expected cash flows and the amortized book value is considered a credit loss. The fair market value of the security is determined using the same expected cash flows; the discount rate is a rate the Company determines from open market and other sources as appropriate for the security. The difference between the fair market value and the security’s remaining amortized cost is recognized in other comprehensive income.
   
 
FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 were adopted by the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Upon adoption, a cumulative effect adjustment was recorded in the amount of $1.1 million to increase retained earnings with an increase to unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). This amount represented the non-credit related impairment charge related to the non-agency mortgage-backed securities discussed below. This adjustment was made because the Company does not intend to sell and more-likely-than-not will not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis (i.e., the impairment does not meet the new definition of other-than-temporary). The cumulative effect adjustment is determined based on the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis of the debt security as of the beginning of the interim period in which the FSP is adopted. The cumulative effect adjustment includes the related tax effects.
   
 
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company updated its assessment of the unrealized losses with respect to the securities and whether the losses were temporary in nature. Upon completion of this review, additional credit losses of $243,000 were incurred related to securities that the Company had previously recorded an OTTI charge in prior periods and a $13,000 OTTI charge was recognized related to securities that were not other-than-temporarily impaired prior to the current quarter. Application of the guidance did not have a significant impact on other securities which were in unrealized loss positions at June 30, 2009.

Six non-agency mortgage-backed securities have been determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired due solely to credit related factors. These securities have S&P credit ratings ranging from below investment grade to AAA at June 30, 2009. Each of these securities holds various levels of credit subordination. The underlying mortgage loans that comprise these investment securities were originated in years 2004 through 2007 and consist of 87% interest only loans and 53% limited documentation loans. A summary of key assumptions utilized to forecast future expected cash flows on the securities determined to have OTTI were as follows as of June 30, 2009:

United States Treasury and Government Sponsored Enterprise and Agency Notes - The Company’s investments in the preceding table in United States Government sponsored enterprise notes consist of debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), and Federal Farm Credit System (“FFCS”). FHLB debt securities are rated by both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. All long-term debt issued by the FHLB banks is rated Aaa by Moody’s and AAA by Standard and Poor’s. All short-term debt is rated “Prime-1” by Moody’s and A-1+ by Standard & Poor’s. FNMA and FHLMC senior debt securities are also currently rated “Aaa” by Moody’s , short-term debt is rated “Prime-1”, subordinated debt is rated “Aa2” and preferred stock ratings are currently “Aa3” with “Stable” outlooks. Farm Credit Designated Bonds are high credit quality, liquid, non-callable and callable securities. The securities are Aaa rated by Moody’s, AAA by Standard & Poor’s, and AAA by Fitch. At June 30, 2009, securities in a gross unrealized loss for less than twelve months consist of 42 securities having an aggregate depreciation of 1.8% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. Securities in a gross unrealized loss for more than twelve months consisted of 3 securities having an aggregate depreciation of 1.4% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses on these debt securities relates principally to the changes in market interest rates and a lack of liquidity currently in the financial markets and are not as a result of projected shortfall of cash flows. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities. As such, the Company anticipates it will recover the entire amortized cost basis of the securities. As a result, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2009.
   
 
State and Municipal Obligations – The municipal bonds consist of obligations of entities located in Pennsylvania. None of the municipal bonds were in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2009.

US Agency Issued Mortgage-Backed Securities - At June 30, 2009, there were no unrealized losses in the category of 12 months or longer. The gross unrealized loss in the category of less than 12 months was $376,000 or 0.8% and consisted of 13 securities that represent asset-backed issues that are issued or guaranteed by a U.S. Government sponsored agency or carry the full faith and credit of the United States through a government agency and are currently rated AAA by at least one bond credit rating agency. In September 2008, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the establishment of the Government-Sponsored Enterprise Credit Facility to ensure credit availability to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Treasury also entered into senior preferred stock purchase agreements, which ensure that each entity maintains a positive net worth and effectively support the holders of debt and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Agreements enhance market stability by providing additional security to debt holders, senior and subordinated, thereby alleviating the concern of the credit driven impairment of the securities. The unrealized loss on these debt securities relates principally to the changes in market interest rates and a lack of liquidity currently in the financial markets and are not as a result of projected shortfall in cash flows. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities. As such, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the securities. As a result, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2009.
   
 
Non-Agency Issued Mortgage-Backed Securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations - This portfolio was acquired through the redemption-in-kind of a mutual fund during 2008 and includes 75 collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) and MBS securities issued by large commercial financial institutions. These securities were performing in accordance with their contractual terms as of June 30, 2009, and had paid all contractual cash flows since the Company’s initial investment. For the nine month period ended June 30, 2009 management recognized an other than temporary impairment charge related to a portfolio of 61 securities in the amount of $5.3 million on a pre-tax basis due to the fact that, in management’s judgment, the credit quality of the collateral pool underlying such securities had deteriorated during the most recent quarter to the point that full recovery of the entire amortized cost of the investment was considered to be uncertain. This portfolio consists primarily of the securities with underlying collateral of Alt-A loans and those collateralized by home equity lines of credit and other receivables as well as whole loans with more significant exposure to the declining markets accountable for the balance of the other than temporary impairment charges. 77% or $6.1 million of the portfolio is collateralized by adjustable rate whole loans, 4.6% or $365,000 is collateralized by Alternative A-paper (Alt-A) mortgages, with remainder of the securities collateralized by the home equity lines of credit and other receivables. For the overall portfolio of the securities, the Company’s exposure to the declining real estate markets such as California and Florida is approximately 39%. Consequently, an other-than- temporary impairment charge was deemed to be warranted as of June 30, 2009. Of the recorded charge, a total of $3.1 million was concluded to be credit related and recognized currently in earnings and $2.3 million was concluded to be attributable to other factors and recognized in other comprehensive income.
   
 
As of January 1, 2009, as a result of adoption of FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, $1.1 million of the other-than-temporary impairment loss was deemed to be attributable to other factors and reclassified from beginning retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income at January 1, 2009. The Company also recognized a reduction to our deferred tax valuation allowance of $390,000.
   
 
With respect to the remainder of the securities in the non-agency MBS portfolio, there were no unrealized losses in the category of 12 months or longer in any of the Company’s investments and the gross unrealized loss in the category of less than 12 months was $974,000 and consisted of 19 securities issued by non-agency issuers with the book value of $3.0 million of the total portfolio of MBS available for sale of $56.9 million. In the portfolio of unrealized losses, 14 of the securities with the aggregate decline of $761,000 are at least “AA” rated by at least one nationally recognized rating agency. Remaining securities in the portfolio are “B” rated by at least one nationally recognized rating agency. As of June 30, 2009, with the exception of 61 securities discussed above, there are no securities for which the Company currently believes it is not probable that it will collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the investment. Management concluded that an other-than-temporary impairment did not exist and the decline in value was attributed to the illiquidity in the financial markets. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities.

The Company established a provision for loan losses of $810,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and $1.2 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $112,000 and $262,000 for the comparable periods in 2008. The largest factor in the increase of the loan loss provision for the 2009 periods related to a $294,000 specific reserve established in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 on a $1.0 million construction loan for a 17 unit townhouse project in Philadelphia. Although the loan is performing according to contractual terms and the project is substantially complete, the loan balance exceeds the current market value of the collateral securing the loan. In addition, sales of the townhouses in the project have been much slower than initially anticipated. Furthermore, due to the decline in market values and slower than anticipated sales, three construction loans with unpaid principal balances totaling $5.9 million were internally downgraded to substandard status from a special mention category necessitating an increase in our loan loss reserve. These three loans were, however, performing in accordance with their contractual terms as of June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, the Company’s non-performing assets totaled $6.1 million or 1.2% of total assets as compared to $5.5 million at September 30, 2008. At June 30, 2009, non-performing assets consisted of one construction loan totaling $640,000, eight one-to four-family residential mortgage loans totaling $980,000 and three real estate owned (“REO”) properties totaling $4.4 million. The largest REO was a construction loan for a condominium project in which another bank acted as the lead lender. The lead lender took possession of the property in March 2009. The Company’s REO balance for the property is $2.8 million. The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.5 million, or 1.0% of total loans and 154.4% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2009. At September 30, 2008 the allowance for loan losses totaled $1.6 million, or 0.6% of total loans and 39.0% of non-performing loans.
   
 
An impaired loan generally is one for which it is probable, based on current information, that the lender will not collect all the amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan. Large groups of smaller balance, homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Loans collectively evaluated for impairment include smaller balance commercial real estate loans, residential real estate loans and consumer loans. These loans are evaluated as a group because they have similar characteristics and performance experience. Larger commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans are individually evaluated for impairment.
   
 
As of June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired was as follows:

The Company establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when management believes that the deferred tax assets are not likely to be realized either through a carryback to taxable income in prior years, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, and, to a lesser extent, future taxable income. The tax deduction generated by the mutual fund sale and impairment charge on certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities are considered capital losses and can only be utilized to the extent of realized capital gains over a five year period subsequent to the year in which the capital loss occurred, resulting in the establishment of a valuation allowance in the amount of $2.7 million for the carryforward period.
   
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting For Income Taxes, and FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined in FIN No. 48 as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN No. 48 was applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption. There is currently no liability for uncertain tax positions and no known unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes, when applicable, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2009, the Internal Revenue Service is in the process of an audit of the Company’s tax returns for the year ended September 30, 2007. No findings have been communicated to the Company. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns for taxable years through September 30, 2005 have been closed for purposes of examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.

STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
   
 
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. This statement requires an entity to recognize the cost of employee services received in share-based payment transactions and measures the cost using the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.
   
 
In December 2008, the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 2008 Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”). A committee of the Board of Directors of the Company administers the RRP. The RRP provides for the grant of shares of common stock of the Company to certain officers, employees and directors of the Company. In order to fund the grant of shares under the RRP, the RRP Trust purchased 226,148 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market for approximately $2.5 million, at an average price per share of $10.85. The Company made sufficient contributions to the RRP Trust to fund these purchases. No additional purchases are expected to be made by the RRP Trust under this plan. During January 2009, grants covering 173,228 shares were awarded as part of the RRP. The remaining shares in the RRP Trust will be available for future awards. Shares subject to awards under the RRP will generally vest at the rate of 20% per year over five years. As of June 30, 2009, no awards had become fully or partially vested and no shares were forfeited.
   
 
Compensation expense related to the shares subject to awards granted is recognized ratably over the five-year vesting period in an amount which totals the share price at the grant date. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, approximately $97,000 and $184,000, respectively, was recognized in compensation expense for the RRP. Tax benefits of $33,000 and $63,000, respectively, were recognized during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009. There was no compensation expense recognized related to the RRP during the comparable periods in 2008. At June 30, 2009, approximately $1.7 million in additional compensation expense for the shares awarded related to the RRP remained unrecognized.
   
 
A summary of the Company’s non-vested stock award activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 is presented in the following table:

In December 2008, the shareholders of the Company also approved the adoption of the 2008 Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant of stock options to officers, employees and directors of the Company to acquire shares of common stock with an exercise price at least equal to the market value of the common stock on the grant date. Options will generally become vested and exercisable at the rate of 20% per year over five years and are generally exercisable for a period of ten years after the grant date. A total of 565,369 shares of common stock are available for future issuance pursuant to the Stock Option Plan. There were 315,194 incentive stock options and 113,072 non-qualified stock options awarded during January 2009. As of June 30, 2009, no options were vested or had been forfeited.
   
 
A summary of the status of the Company’ stock options under the Stock Option Plan as of June 30, 2009 and changes during the nine month period ended June 30, 2009 are presented below:

The weighted average remaining contractual term was approximately 9.5 years for options outstanding as of June 30, 2009. No options were exercisable as of June 30, 2009.
   
 
The estimated fair value of options granted during fiscal 2009 was $2.81 per share. The fair value was estimated on the date of grant in accordance with SFAS No. 123R using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used:
 
     
June 30, 2009
 
 
Dividend yield
    1.79 %
 
Expected volatility
    27.94 %
 
Risk-free interest rate
    1.96 %
 
Expected life of options
 
6.5 years
 
 
 
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, $59,000 and $115,000, respectively, was recognized in compensation expense for the Stock Option Plan. Tax benefits of $5,000 and $10,000, respectively, were recognized during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009. There was no compensation expense recognized related to the Stock Option Plan during the comparable periods in 2008. At June 30, 2009, approximately $1.1 million in additional compensation expense for awarded options remained unrecognized. The weighted average period over which this expense will be recognized is approximately 4.5 years.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
   
 
At June 30, 2009, the Company had $10.1 million in outstanding commitments to originate fixed and variable-rate loans with market interest rates ranging from 5.00% to 6.75%. At September 30, 2008, the Company had $18.6 million in outstanding commitments to originate fixed and variable-rate loans with market interest rates ranging from 5.50% to 8.50%.
 
22

 
 
 
The Company also had commitments under unused lines of credit of $7.0 million and $5.9 million at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively, and letters of credit outstanding of $95,000 at both June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008.
   
 
Among the Company’s contingent liabilities are exposures to limited recourse arrangements with respect to the Company’s sales of whole loans and participation interests. At June 30, 2009, the exposure, which represents a portion of credit risk associated with the interests sold, amounted to $64,000. This exposure is for the life of the related loans and payables, on our proportionate share, as actual losses are incurred.
   
 
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. Management of the Company, based on discussions with litigation counsel, believes that such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operations or cash flows of the Company. There can be no assurance that any of the outstanding legal proceedings to which the Company is a party will not be decided adversely to the Company’s interests and have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and operations of the Company.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
   
 
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
   
 
The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value.
   
 
Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
   
 
Investments and Mortgage-Backed SecuritiesThe fair value of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities is based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes, and prices obtained from independent pricing services that may be derivable from observable and unobservable market inputs.
   
 
Loans ReceivableThe fair value of loans is estimated based on present value using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
   
 
Accrued Interest Receivable – For accrued interest receivable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
   
 
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) StockAlthough FHLB stock is an equity interest in an FHLB, it is carried at cost because it does not have a readily determinable fair value as its ownership is restricted and it lacks a market. The estimated fair value approximates the carrying amount.
   
 
NOW Accounts, Money Market Deposit Accounts, Passbook Accounts, Club Accounts, Statement Savings Accounts, and Certificates of DepositThe fair value of passbook accounts, club accounts, statement savings accounts, NOW accounts, and money market deposit accounts is the amount reported in the financial statements. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on a present value estimate using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturity.
   
 
Advances from Federal Home Loan BankThe fair value of advances from FHLB is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.
   
 
Accrued Interest Payable – For accrued interest payable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
   
 
Commitments to Extend Credit and Letters of CreditThe majority of the Bank’s commitments to extend credit and letters of credit carry current market interest rates if converted to loans. Because commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are generally unassignable by either the Bank or the borrower, they only have value to the Bank and the borrower. The estimated fair value approximates the recorded deferred fee amounts, which are not significant.
   
 
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
   
 
Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. The definition of fair value retains the exchange price notion in earlier definitions of fair value. SFAS No. 157 clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability. The definition focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability (an exit price), not the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability (an entry price). SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. FSP No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, issued in February 2008, delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
 
24

 
 
 
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (“FSP FAS 157-3”). The purpose of FSP FAS 157-3 was to clarify the application of SFAS No. 157, for a market that is not active. It also allows for the use of management’s internal assumptions about future cash flows with appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates when relevant observable market data does not exist. FSP FAS 157-3 did not change the objective of SFAS No. 157 which is the determination of the price that would be received in an orderly transaction that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the measurement date. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 had no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
     
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. FSP SFAS No. 157-4 includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity, affirms the objective of fair value when a market is not active, eliminates the presumption that all transactions are not orderly unless proven otherwise, and requires an entity to disclose inputs and valuation techniques, and changes therein, used to measure fair value. Provisions of the FSP SFAS No. 157-4 are to be adopted concurrent with the adoption of FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2. The Company adopted the requirements of FSP No. 157-4 as of January 1, 2009. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
     
 
SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
     
 
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
 
Level 2
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
     
 
Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
     
 
Those assets which will continue to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009 are as follows:

As a result of general market conditions and the illiquidity in the market for certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities, management deemed it necessary to classify certain securities as Level 3. These securities were priced by a third party specialist utilizing recent prices for similar securities as inputs in the standard discounted cash flow model, adjusted for assumptions unobservable in the market.

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The Company measures impaired loans and loans or bank properties transferred into real estate owned at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
 
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. Under SFAS No. 114, collateral dependent impaired loans are based on the fair value of the collateral which is based on appraisals. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values for various factors including age of the appraisal, age of the comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral These adjustments are based upon unobservable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 3 measurement. Specific reserves were calculated for impaired loans with carrying amounts totaling $1.6 million at June 30, 2009. The collateral underlying these loans had a fair value of $797,000, resulting in specific reserves in the allowance for loan losses of $842,000.
 
26

 
 
Transfer of Impaired Loans into Real Estate Owned
 
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 cost to sell. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values for various factors including age of the appraisal, age of the comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral These adjustments are based upon unobservable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 3 measurement. At June 30, 2009 these assets were valued in accordance with GAAP and do not require fair value disclosure under the provision of SFAS No. 157.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT RESTATEMENT
 
The Company provides certain medical and life insurance benefits for a limited number of retired officers, directors, and their spouses. Historically, the Company has recognized expenses associated with these arrangements as applicable premiums were paid for these benefits.
 
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company identified an error in the accounting for these arrangements. The Company determined that the arrangements are “in substance” individual contracts to be accounted for under APB 12.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statement included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion gives effect to the restatement discussed in Note 10, Financial Statement Restatement, of the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
 
Overview. Prudential Bancorp, Inc. of Pennsylvania (the “Company”) was formed by Prudential Savings Bank (the “Bank”) in connection with the Bank’s reorganization into the mutual holding company form of organization. The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependent on the results of the Bank, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company’s results of operations depend to a large extent on net interest income, which primarily is the difference between the income earned on its loan and securities portfolios and the cost of funds, which is the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by our provisions for loan losses, non-interest income (which includes impairment charges) and non-interest expense. Non-interest expense principally consists of salaries and employee benefits, office occupancy, depreciation, data processing expense, payroll taxes and other expense. Our results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable laws, regulations or government policies may materially impact our financial condition and results of operations. The Bank is subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking (the “Department”). The Bank’s main office is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with six additional banking offices located in Philadelphia and Delaware Counties in Pennsylvania. The Bank’s primary business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds together with borrowings to originate loans and to invest primarily in U.S. Government and agency securities and mortgage-backed securities. In November 2005, the Bank formed PSB Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as a subsidiary of the Bank. In March 2006, all mortgage-backed securities owned by the Company were transferred to PSB Delaware, Inc. PSB Delaware, Inc.’s. activities are included as part of the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies. In reviewing and understanding financial information for the Company, you are encouraged to read and understand the significant accounting policies used in preparing our financial statements. These policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008. The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. The following accounting policies comprise those that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These policies require numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial condition for the period or in future periods.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. Allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses known and inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The determination of the allowance for loan losses requires management to make significant estimates with respect to the amounts and timing of losses and market and economic conditions. Management considers such factors as changes in the types and amount of loans in the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, and current economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including, among others, exposure at default, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on affected loans, value of collateral, estimated losses on our commercial, construction and residential loan portfolios and general amounts for historical loss experience. All of these estimates may be susceptible to significant change.
 
While management uses the best information available to make loan loss allowance evaluations, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions or changes in accounting guidance. Historically, our estimates of the allowance for loan loss have not required significant adjustments from management’s initial estimates. In addition, the Department and the FDIC, as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. The Department and the FDIC may require the recognition of adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examinations. To the extent that actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.
 
Income Taxes. We also estimate a reserve for deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. SFAS No. 109 requires the recording of deferred income taxes that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Management exercises significant judgment in the evaluation of the amount and timing of the recognition of the resulting tax assets and liabilities. The judgments and estimates required for the evaluation are updated based upon changes in business factors and the tax laws. If actual results differ from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating the amount and timing of tax recognized, there can be no assurance that additional expenses will not be required in future periods. FIN No. 48 prescribes a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The Company recognizes, when applicable, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations. Assessment of uncertain tax positions under FIN No. 48 requires careful consideration of the technical merits of a position based on management’s analysis of tax regulations and interpretations. Significant judgment may be involved in applying the requirements of FIN No. 48.

Fair Value Measurement. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, on October 1, 2008 and FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active, on September 30, 2008 and other related pronouncements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, emphasizing that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement. FSP SFAS No. 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. SFAS No. 157 addresses the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. These valuation techniques include the market approach, income approach and cost approach. The market approach uses prices or relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach involves converting future amounts to a single present amount. The measurement is valued based on current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of the asset.
 
SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the instrument’s fair value measurement. The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
   
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
   
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
 
The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 and FSP SFAS No. 157-3. These measurements involve various valuation techniques and models, which involve inputs that are observable, when available, and include the investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale and derivative financial instruments. The Company adopted the requirements of FSP No. 157-4 as of January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The following is a summary of valuation techniques utilized by the Company for its significant financial assets and liabilities which are valued on a recurring basis.
 
Investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. At March 31, 2009, the Company’s investment in certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities were shifted from a Level 2 market value measurement to a Level 3 market value measurement. This Level 3 market value measurement included an internally developed discounted cash flow model combined with using market data points of similar securities with comparable credit ratings in addition to market yield curves with similar maturities in determining the discount rate.
 
31

 
 
In addition, certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The Company measures impaired loans, FHLB stock and loans or bank properties transferred into real estate owned at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
 
Valuation techniques and models utilized for measuring financial assets and liabilities are reviewed and validated by the Company at least quarterly.
 
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The Company determines whether the unrealized losses are temporary in accordance with EITF 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Asset” as amended by FSP EITF 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20,when applicable, and FSP SFAS No. 115-1 and SFAS No. 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments and FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and SFAS No. 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. The evaluation is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors, the underlying collateral, if applicable, and the continuing performance of the securities. In addition the Company also considers the likelihood that the security will be required to be sold by a regulatory agency, our internal intent not to dispose of the security prior to maturity and whether the entire cost basis of the security is expected to be recovered. In determining whether the cost basis will be recovered, management evaluates other facts and circumstances that may be indicative of an OTTI condition. This includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of the type of security, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and near-term prospects of the issuer.
 
Forward-looking Statements. In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain “forward-looking statements” based on management’s current expectations. The Company’s actual results could differ materially, as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, from management’s expectations. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding management’s current intentions, beliefs or expectations as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are not subject to the Company’s control. You are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause future results to vary from current management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services, competition, changes in the quality or composition of the Company’s loan and investment portfolios, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, markets, products, services and fees.
 
The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results that occur subsequent to the date such forward-looking statements are made unless required by law or regulations.
 
Market Overview. The continued turbulence in the economy and the current financial crisis, which began in mid-2007, resulting in housing-related credit decline, combined with a capital markets liquidity crisis that has affected the liquidity and valuation of many investment vehicles, remains a concern for the Company. The severity of the downturn in the economic conditions deteriorated into a recession during 2008 which has continued through the first half of calendar 2009. One of the primary concerns for the Company is the slump in the housing market. While the Philadelphia area has not suffered wholesale declines in the value of residential real estate as have other areas of the country, this downturn has rippled through many parts of the economy, including construction lending and lending to contractors. Such conditions increase our exposure to the risk of non-performance in our construction and commercial loan portfolios. The Company continues to focus on the credit quality of its customers – closely monitoring the financial status of borrowers throughout the Company’s markets, gathering information, working on early detection of potential problems, taking pre-emptive steps where necessary and performing the analysis required to maintain adequate reserves. These declines in real estate market values has also been a factor in determining the necessity to increase our allowance for loan losses through increased loan loss provisions.
 
32

 
 
The decline in real estate market values and the increase in defaults on the underlying collateral have caused illiquidity in the financial markets which has led to the devaluation of certain non-agency securities. The Company continues to be impacted by continued pressure in the capital markets with respect to the value of our non-agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, leading to the determination that the declines in the fair value were other-than-temporary resulting in the occurrence of other-than-temporary impairment charges.
 
Despite the current market and economic conditions, the Company continues to maintain a strong capital position. The Company determined that it will not participate in the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, intended to provide capital to U.S. financial institutions through the purchase of preferred stock.
 
The following discussion provides further details on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company at and for the periods ended June 30, 2009.
 
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2009 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
 
At June 30, 2009, the Company’s total assets were $514.7 million, an increase of $25.2 million from $489.5 million at September 30, 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in cash and cash equivalents and the loan portfolio.
 
Total liabilities increased $39.1 million to $460.2 million at June 30, 2009 from $421.1 million at September 30, 2008. The increase was primarily due to a $55.4 million increase in deposits, mainly in certificates of deposit. The increase was partially offset by the repayment at maturity of FHLB advances which decreased by $12.0 million, from $31.7 million at September 30, 2008 to $19.7 million at June 30, 2009.
 
Stockholders’ equity decreased by $13.9 million to $54.6 million at June 30, 2009 as compared to $68.5 million at September 30, 2008 primarily as a result of the $9.2 million aggregate cost of repurchasing 738,000 treasury shares of Company common stock, the $2.5 million cost of purchasing 226,148 shares of common stock in the open market to fund the shareholder approved Recognition and Retention Plan, the declaration of quarterly cash dividends totaling $1.6 million and the net loss of $1.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009.
 
COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 AND 2008
 
Net income. A net loss of $226,000 was recognized for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to a net loss of $3.6 million for the same period in 2008. For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized a net loss of $1.3 million compared to a net loss of $3.6 million for the comparable period in 2008. The net losses reported for both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 were primarily due to provisions for loan losses and other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges related to certain of the non-agency mortgage-backed securities received in connection with the previously reported redemption in kind during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 of the Company’s investment in a mutual fund.
 
Net interest income. Net interest income increased $470,000 or 15.9% to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2008. The increase reflected the effects of a $315,000 or 9.0% decrease in interest expense combined with a $155,000 or 2.4% increase in interest income. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from a 71 basis point decrease to 2.84% in the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, reflecting the decrease in market rates of interest during the year, partially offset by a $54.0 million or 13.7% increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, primarily in certificates of deposit, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. The increase in interest income resulted primarily from a $28.5 million or 6.2% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, offset partially by a 20 basis point decline in the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets reflecting the effects of declines in market rates of interest in the 2009 period. The growth in interest-earning assets was concentrated in the growth of the loan portfolio, particularly one-to-four family residential loans.
 
33

 
 
For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, net interest income increased $2.2 million or 25.2% to $10.7 million as compared to $8.5 million for the same period in 2008. The increase reflected the effects of a $1.1 million or 9.8% decrease in interest expense combined with a $1.1 million or 5.4% increase in interest income. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from a 74 basis point decrease to 3.09% in the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, reflecting the decrease in market rates of interest during the nine month period, partially offset by a $45.1 million or 11.6% increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, primarily certificates of deposit, for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. The increase in interest income resulted primarily from a $26.4 million or 5.8% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008.
 
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the net interest margin was 2.81%, as compared to 2.58% for the same period in 2008. For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the net interest margin was 2.94%, as compared to 2.49% for the same period in 2008. The increase in the interest margin in both of the 2009 periods was primarily due to the large decrease in the average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities reflecting declines in market rates of interest which were more rapidly reflected in the cost of funds due to a greater interest sensitivity of such liabilities.

Average Balances, Net Interest Income, and Yields Earned and Rates Paid. The following table shows for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin. Average yields and rates have been annualized. Tax-exempt income and yields have not been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis. All average balances are based on monthly balances. Management does not believe that the monthly averages differ significantly from what the daily averages would be.

The increase in yield of the Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio is primarily a result of changes in portfolio composition as well as in estimate of prepayment speed assumptions. The Company employs the effective yield method of accounting, which requires retrospective adjustments to the yield on the Company’s assets, which in turn directly affects earnings. The Company estimates yield at the time of purchase of each asset. To the extent prepayment speeds assumptions differ from Company’s estimates at the time of purchase, the Company is required to adjust the yield on that asset as well as the amortization of premium or discount taken to date on the asset. This cumulative “true up” of the amortization is taken through earnings in the current period.

Provisions for loan losses. The allowance is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated probable losses in the loan portfolio at each reporting date. At least quarterly, management performs an analysis to identify the inherent risk of loss in the Company’s loan portfolio. This analysis includes a qualitative evaluation of concentrations of credit, past loss experience, current economic conditions, amount and composition of the loan portfolio (including loans being specifically monitored by management), estimated fair value of underlying collateral, delinquencies, and other factors.
 
Our methodology for assessing the adequacy of the allowance establishes both specific and general pooled allowances. To determine the adequacy of the allowance and the need for potential changes to the allowance, we conduct a formal analysis quarterly to assess the risk within the loan portfolio. This assessment includes analyses of historical performance, past due trends, the level of nonperforming loans, reviews of certain impaired loans, loan activity since the last quarter, consideration of current economic conditions, and other pertinent information. Loans are assigned ratings, either individually for larger credits or in homogeneous pools, based on an internally developed grading system. The resulting conclusions are reviewed and approved by senior management.
 
The Company established a provision for loan losses of $810,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and $1.2 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $112,000 and $262,000 for the comparable periods in 2008. The largest factor in the increase of the loan loss provision for the 2009 periods was related to a $294,000 specific reserve established in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 on a $1.0 million construction loan for a 17 unit townhouse project in Philadelphia. Although the loan is performing according to contractual terms and the project is substantially complete, the loan balance exceeds the current market value of the collateral securing the loan. In addition, sales of the townhouses in the project have been much slower than initially anticipated. Furthermore, due to the decline in market values and slower than anticipated sales, three construction loans with unpaid principal balances totaling $5.9 million were internally downgraded to substandard status from special mention necessitating an increase in our loan loss reserve. These three loans were, however, performing in accordance with their contractual terms as of June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, the Company’s non-performing assets totaled $6.1 million or 1.2% of total assets as compared to $5.5 million at September 30, 2008. At June 30, 2009, non-performing assets consisted of one construction loan totaling $640,000, eight one-to four-family residential mortgage loans totaling $980,000 and three real estate owned (“REO”) properties totaling $4.4 million. The largest REO was a construction loan for a condominium project in which another bank acted as the lead lender. The lead lender took possession of the property in March 2009. The Company’s REO balance for the property is $2.8 million. The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.5 million, or 1.0% of total loans and 154.4% of non-performing loans.
 
Non-interest income (loss). Non-interest loss amounted to $55,000 and $2.4 million for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared with losses of $3.8 million and $4.9 million for the same periods in 2008. The losses experienced in all the periods were primarily due to OTTI charges arising from the Company’s investment and subsequent redemption in kind of such investment in a mutual fund. The decline in loss between the 2008 and 2009 periods reflected the decline in the amount of the OTTI charge from $4.0 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, to $256,000 and $3.1 million during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2009 related to the non-agency mortgage-backed securities acquired as part of the June 2008 redemption in kind of the investment in the mutual fund.
 
Non-interest expenses. For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2009, non-interest expense increased $875,000 and $1.5 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase for the three month period was primarily due to an increase in deposit insurance premiums of $457,000 in the excess of the comparable period in 2008, as a result of the implementation of a new fee structure combined with a special assessment implemented by the FDIC which was required to be accrued as of June 30, 2009. Also contributing to the increase were increases in professional services expenses as the 2008 third quarter results included the effect of reimbursements from an insurance carrier which were not applicable to the 2009 period. The increase for the nine month period was primarily due to an increase in deposit insurance premiums of $732,000 in the excess of the comparable period in 2008, due to the new fee structure as well as the special assessment. Also contributing to the increase was a $186,000 writedown associated with an REO property incurred during the second fiscal quarter of 2009 combined with increases in professional services.
 
37

 
 
Income tax expense. The Company recorded income tax expense for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2009 of $11,000 and $419,000, respectively, compared to $705,000 and $613,000, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2008. Income tax expense was recognized even though the company experienced losses before taxes because the losses were primarily due to capital losses which can only be used to offset capital gains. Tax expense was recorded in the 2009 and 2008 periods and was not fully impacted by the capital losses incurred in connection with the writedown of certain of the mortgage-backed securities received in the redemption of the mutual fund. A valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax asset as capital losses are only deductible to the extent of capital gains.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
The Company’s liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are from deposits, scheduled principal and interest payments on loans, loan prepayments and the maturity of loans, mortgage-backed securities and other investments, and other funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan and securities prepayments can be greatly influenced by market rates of interest, economic conditions and competition. We also maintain excess funds in short-term, interest-bearing assets that provide additional liquidity. At June 30, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $16.2 million. In addition, our available for sale investment and mortgage-backed securities amounted to an aggregate of $56.9 million at such date.
 
We use our liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets, and to meet operating expenses. At June 30, 2009, the Company had $10.1 million in outstanding commitments to originate fixed and variable-rate loans, not including loans in process. The Company also had commitments under unused lines of credit of $7.0 million and letters of credit outstanding of $95,000 at June 30, 2009. Certificates of deposit at June 30, 2009 maturing in one year or less totaled $184.4 million. Based upon historical experience, we anticipate that a significant portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be redeposited with us.
 
In addition to cash flows from loan and securities payments and prepayments as well as from sales of available for sale securities, we have significant borrowing capacity available to fund liquidity needs should the need arise. Our borrowings consist solely of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, of which we are a member. Under terms of the collateral agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank, we pledge residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities as well as our stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank as collateral for such advances. However, use of FHLB advances has been modest. At June 30, 2009, we had $19.7 million in outstanding FHLB advances and had the ability to obtain an additional $256.1 million in FHLB advances.
 
We anticipate that we will continue to have sufficient funds and alternative funding sources to meet our current commitments.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
 
The financial statements, accompanying notes, and related financial data of the Company presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
 
Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates. In the current interest rate environment, liquidity and the maturity structure of the Company’s assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
How We Manage Market Risk. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Our market risk arises primarily from the interest rate risk which is inherent in our lending, investment and deposit gathering activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages interest rate risk exposure. In addition to market risk, our primary risk is credit risk on our loan portfolio. We attempt to manage credit risk through our loan underwriting and oversight policies.
 
The principal objective of our interest rate risk management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk embedded in certain balance sheet accounts, determine the level of risk appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, and manage the risk consistent with approved guidelines. We seek to manage our exposure to risks from changes in interest rates while at the same time trying to improve our net interest spread. We monitor interest rate risk as such risk relates to our operating strategies. We have established an Asset/Liability Committee which is comprised of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Lending Officer, Treasurer and Controller. The Asset/Liability Committee meets on a regular basis and is responsible for reviewing our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position. Both the extent and direction of shifts in interest rates are uncertainties that could have a negative impact on future earnings.
 
In recent years, we primarily have reduced our exposure in callable agency bonds and increased our portfolio of agency issued mortgage-backed securities. However, notwithstanding the foregoing steps, we remain subject to a significant level of interest rate risk in a low interest rate environment due to the high proportion of our loan portfolio that consists of fixed-rate loans as well as our decision to invest a significant amount of our assets in long-term, fixed-rate investment and mortgage-backed securities.
 
Gap Analysis. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive” and by monitoring a Company’s interest rate sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to affect adversely net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to affect adversely net interest income.
 
The following table sets forth the amounts of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at June 30, 2009, which we expect, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown (the “GAP Table”). Except as stated below, the amounts of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the earlier of term to repricing or the contractual maturity of the asset or liability. The table sets forth an approximation of the projected repricing of assets and liabilities at June 30, 2009, on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated prepayments, and scheduled rate adjustments within a three-month period and subsequent selected time intervals. The loan amounts in the table reflect principal balances expected to be redeployed and/or repriced as a result of contractual amortization and anticipated prepayments of adjustable-rate loans and fixed-rate loans, and as a result of contractual rate adjustments on adjustable-rate loans. Annual prepayment rates for adjustable-rate and fixed-rate single-family and multi-family residential and commercial mortgage loans are assumed to range from 7.9% to 31.4%. The annual prepayment rate for mortgage-backed securities is assumed to range from 0.5% to 67.0%. Money market deposit accounts, savings accounts and interest-bearing checking accounts are assumed to have annual rates of withdrawal, or “decay rates,” based on information from the FDIC. For savings accounts and checking accounts, the decay rates are 60% in one to three years, 20% in three to five years and 20% in five to 10 years. For money market accounts, the decay rates are 50% in three to 12 months and 50% in 13 to 36 months.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate loans may be adversely affected in the event of an interest rate increase.

Our interest rate sensitivity also is monitored by management through the use of a model which generates estimates of the changes in our net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio, under any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. The “Sensitivity Measure” is the decline in the NPV ratio, in basis points, caused by a 2% increase or decrease in rates, whichever produces a larger decline. The following table sets forth our NPV as of June 30, 2009 and reflects the changes to NPV as a result of immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as indicated.

At June 30, 2009, the Company’s NPV was $56.0 million or 10.84% of the market value of assets. Following a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Company’s “post shock” NPV would be $19.0 million or 4.06% of the market value of assets. The change in the NPV ratio or Company’s sensitivity measure was a decline of 678 basis points.
 
At March 31, 2009, the Company’s NPV was $71.1 million or 13.63% of the market value of assets. Following a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Company’s “post shock” NPV would be $38.2 million or 8.01% of the market value of assets. The change in the NPV ratio or Company’s sensitivity measure was a decline of 562 basis points.
 
As is the case with the GAP Table, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV requires the making of certain assumptions which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the models presented assume that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV model provides an indication of interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such model is not intended to and does not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and will differ from actual results.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and are operating in an effective manner.
 
We evaluated the impact of the requirement to restate our financials discussed in Note 10 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements on the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Management concluded that it did not have a material impact on our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
