MAGYAR BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)


NOTE A - ORGANIZATION

 
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized on January 23, 2006 to serve as the mid-tier stock holding company of Magyar Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank’s corporate structure was changed from a mutual savings bank to the mutual holding company form of ownership. Magyar Bank became a New Jersey-chartered stock savings bank subsidiary of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware-chartered holding company. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. owns 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Magyar Bank. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. is a majority-owned subsidiary of Magyar Bancorp, MHC, and a New Jersey-chartered mutual holding company.

 
Magyar Bancorp, MHC owns 3,200,450 shares, or 54.03%, of the issued shares of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. The remaining 2,723,292 shares, or 45.97%, were sold to public stockholders, including a charitable foundation organized by the Bank. The gross offering proceeds from the sale were $27,233,000 and the net proceeds were $25,829,000 (including $1,047,000 in stock contributed to the charitable foundation). So long as Magyar Bancorp, MHC exists, it will be required to own a majority of the voting stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.

 
Three wholly owned, non-bank subsidiaries exist under Magyar Bank. Magyar Service Corporation, a New Jersey corporation, operates under the name Magyar Financial Services and receives commissions from annuity and life insurance sales referred to a licensed, non-bank financial planner. Hungaria Urban Renewal, LLC, a Delaware corporation, is a real-estate holding company whose only holding is Magyar Bank’s corporate headquarters in New Brunswick. MagBank Investment Company, a New Jersey corporation, operates as an investment holding company. The MagBank Investment Company meets the requirements to elect New Jersey Investment Company status and therefore is subject to a New Jersey state tax rate of 3.6% compared with a 9.0% corporate business tax rate for New Jersey corporations.

 
Magyar Bank is subject to regulations issued by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. is subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance.

NOTE B – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Magyar Bank, and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries Magyar Service Corporation, Hungaria Urban Renewal, LLC, and MagBank Investment Company. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The unaudited information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2007. The September 30, 2006 information has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.

5


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

NOTE C - CONTINGENCIES

The Company, from time to time, is a party to routine litigation that arises in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of this litigation, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE D - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 and three months ended June 30, 2006 were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. Earnings per share was not meaningful for the nine month period ended June 30, 2006, as the Company did not have publicly-held shares outstanding during each day of the period.
 
Diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the weighted-average number of net shares that would be issued upon exercise of dilutive stock options and grants pursuant to the treasury stock method.
 
NOTE E – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

At the annual meeting held on February 12, 2007, stockholders of the Company approved the Magyar Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. On March 1, 2007, directors, senior officers and certain employees of the Company were granted in aggregate 217,826 stock options and 103,479 shares of restricted stock.

Effective October 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments”. Statement 123 (R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Statement 123 (R) requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. The cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

SFAS No. 123R also requires the Company to realize as a financing cash flow rather than an operating cash flow, as previously required, the benefits of realized tax deductions in excess of previously recognized tax benefits on compensation expense. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, the Company classified share-based compensation for employees and outside directors within “compensation and employee benefits” in the consolidated statement of operations to correspond with the same line item as the cash compensation paid.

Stock options generally vest over a five-year service period. Management recognizes compensation expense for all option grants over the awards’ respective requisite service periods. The fair values of all option grants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Since there is limited historical information on the volatility of the Company’s stock, management also considered the average volatilities of similar entities for an appropriate period in determining the assumed volatility rate used in the estimation of fair value. Management estimated the expected life of the options using the simplified method allowed under

6


SAB 107. The 7-year Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant provides the risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair values of these awards, which have graded vesting, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards.

The common stock transactions are valued using the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions:

Expected life
6.5 years
Discount rate
4.51%
Volatility
16.67%
Dividend yield
0.71%

Restricted shares generally vest over a five- year service period. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determine the fair value of restricted shares under the Company’s restricted stock plans. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Stock option and stock award expenses included with compensation expense was $116,000 and $154,000 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2007.

The Company also has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for the benefit of employees who meet the eligibility requirements as defined in the plan. The ESOP trust purchased 217,863 shares of common stock in the open market using proceeds of a loan from the Company. The total cost of shares purchased by the ESOP trust was $2.3 million, reflecting an average cost per share of $10.58. The Bank will make cash contributions to the ESOP on an annual basis sufficient to enable the ESOP to make the required loan payments to the Company. The loan bears a variable interest rate equal to the Prime Rate (currently 8.25%) with principal and interest payable annually in equal installments over thirty years. The loan is secured by the shares of the stock purchased.

As the debt is repaid, shares are released as collateral and allocated to qualified employees. Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 93-6, “Employer’s Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans”, issued by the Accounting Standards Division of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”). As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. The Company's contribution expense for the ESOP was $255,000 and $122,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
When used in this filing and in future filings by Magyar Bancorp, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company’s press releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases, “anticipate,” “would be,” “will allow,” “intends to,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “projected,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward looking statements.”  Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in economic conditions in Magyar Bancorp, Inc.’s market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in Magyar Bancorp, Inc.’s market area, changes in the position of banking regulators on the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses, and competition, all or some of which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected.
 
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and advises readers that various factors, including regional and national economic conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and other risks of lending and investing activities, and competitive and regulatory factors, could affect Magyar Bancorp, Inc.’s financial performance and could cause Magyar Bancorp, Inc.’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.
 
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the most critical accounting policy upon which our financial condition and results of operations depend, and which involves the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, is the allowance for loan losses.
 
The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover credit losses in the loan portfolio both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date.  The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of our most critical.  The methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management due to the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions utilized and the potential for changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for loan losses.
 
As a substantial amount of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, appraisals of the underlying value of property securing loans and discounted cash flow valuations of properties are critical in determining the amount of the allowance required for specific loans. Assumptions for appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly affect the valuation of a property securing a loan and the related allowance. The assumptions supporting such appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are carefully reviewed by management to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans.
 

12


Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  We consider a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, historical loss rates, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates by management that may be susceptible to significant change based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions.
 
Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowances we have established which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006

Total assets increased $40.2 million, or 9.3%, to $474.4 million at June 30, 2007 from $434.2 million at September 30, 2006, represented by significant growth in net loans receivable.

Net loans receivable increased $32.1 million, or 9.2%, to $380.1 million at June 30, 2007 from $348.0 million at September 30, 2006. Loan growth was primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate loans of $11.1 million, or 16.2%, to $79.7 million, an increase in construction loans of $10.2 million, or 11.2%, to $100.5 million, and an increase in commercial business loans of $4.4 million, or 18.1%, to $28.9 million. In addition, one-to-four family residential mortgage loans increased $3.2 million, or 2.3%, to $146.5 million.

At June 30, 2007, the significant loan categories in terms of the percent of total loans were 38.1% in one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, 26.1% in construction loans and 20.7% in commercial real estate loans. At June 30, 2006 these categories in terms of the percent of total loans were 42.2% in one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, 23.2% in construction loans and 20.1% in commercial real estate loans. For the remainder of calendar year 2007, we expect to continue with our strategy of diversifying the Company’s balance sheet with higher concentrations in commercial and construction loans.

Total non-performing loans increased by $1.6 million to $9.0 million at June 30, 2007 from $7.4 million at September 30, 2006. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans receivable was 2.3% at June 30, 2007 compared with 2.1% at September 30, 2006. The allowance for loan losses was increased $175,000 to $4.1 million or 45.2% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2007 compared with $3.9 million or 52.6% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2006. The allowance for loan losses was 1.1% of gross loans outstanding at both June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006.

The Bank’s interest in loans on the Dwek Properties and Sugar Maple Estates (reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 27, 2006) remained $745,000 and $4.2 million, respectively, at June 30, 2007. The real estate holdings of Solomon Dwek were forced into bankruptcy in February 2007, resulting in the cessation of interest payments on both loans. Accordingly, the loans were considered non-performing at June 30, 2007. The “as-is condition” contract of sale in the amount of $1.46 million previously approved by the Superior Court for the sale of property securing the Dwek Properties loan did not occur in February as a result of the bankruptcy.

Total non-performing loans at June 30, 2007 also included a construction loan to bankrupt builder Kara Homes, Inc. (reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 10, 2006). On January 8, 2007 the Bankruptcy Court approved a motion to begin a bidding process through the Bankruptcy Court for all four Kara Homes properties. The Bank made an initial offer on each of the four projects to proceed with a Bankruptcy Code Section 363 sale of the properties to the Bank (free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances with the exception of real estate taxes). The auction was held

13


March 27, 2007 in which the Bank was the high bidder on three of the four projects. The auction was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on April 9, 2007.

Of the $5.1 million lending relationship with Kara Homes, Inc. at September 30, 2006, $1.2 million remained in loans receivable at June 30, 2007 and $1.3 million was recorded as other real estate owned. Two of the four projects were sold in June, netting the Bank $2.4 million, or $172,000 less than the amount lent on the projects. Including a $125,000 charge-off on the property purchased by the Bank, total charge-offs on the three loans were $297,000. Provisions for loan loss recorded during the year ended September 30, 2006 were sufficient to cover the amounts charged-off. Settlement of the fourth and final project is expected to occur during the next quarter.
 
Although management believes that the Bank’s position in the Dwek Properties, Sugar Maple Estates, and Kara Homes, Inc. loans are well collateralized, there can be no assurance that losses will not occur or that significant additional expenses will not be incurred in the process of the resolution of the loans.

Securities available-for-sale increased $10.0 million, or 55.0%, to $28.2 million at June 30, 2007 from $18.2 million at September 30, 2006. The increase was the result of $13.8 million in security purchases, partially offset by $3.5 million in principal amortization and $142,000 in sales of a money market mutual fund. In addition, securities held-to-maturity decreased $4.7 million, or 19.6%, to $19.2 million at June 30, 2007 from $23.9 million at September 30, 2006, resulting from principal amortization.

Total deposits increased $33.7 million, or 10.3%, to $359.3 million at June 30, 2007. The increase was primarily the result of money market accounts, which increased $20.1 million, or 35.8%, to $76.2 million at June 30, 2007 from $56.1 million at September 30, 2006, and certificate of deposit accounts, which increased $18.0 million, or 12.0%, to $167.8 million at June 30, 2007 from $149.8 million at September 30, 2006. Other significant changes in total deposits over the nine-month period included a decrease in savings accounts of $5.9 million, or 13.8%, to $37.2 million and an increase in retirement accounts of $2.1 million, or 8.1%, to $27.6 million.

Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York increased $7.5 million, or 14.1% to $60.5 million at June 30, 2007 from $53.0 million at September 30, 2006.

Stockholders’ equity decreased $579,000, or 1.2%, to $47.6 million at June 30, 2007 from $48.2 million at September 30, 2006. The decrease was attributable to stock repurchases totaling $1.4 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $253,000, partially offset by net income during the period of $625,000, the release of shares from the ESOP totaling $255,000, and the release of stock options and restricted stock in accordance with FAS 123R totaling $154,000. Unrealized losses on investment securities available-for-sale were related to increases in interest rates since the investment securities were purchased. Management has concluded that none of the securities have impairments that are considered other than temporary.

On April 27, 2007 the Company announced its first stock repurchase program and authorized the repurchase of up to 5% of its publicly-held outstanding shares of common stock, or approximately 130,927 shares. During the three month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company repurchased 92,100 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $14.76 per share.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

Net Income/Loss. The Company recorded net income of $194,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to net income of $276,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income was $3.4 million for both three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006. Total interest and dividend income increased $1.3 million to $7.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 while total interest expense increased $1.3 million to $4.0 million from the same three month period one year earlier. While our interest rate spread decreased 58 basis points to 2.88% from 3.46%, our net interest earning assets increased to $34.2 million from $33.8 million, which resulted in the increase in net interest and dividend income.

Interest Income. The increase in interest income of $1.3 million, or 21.9%, to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $62.4 million to $427.3 million from $364.8 million, as well as an improvement in the average yield on such assets to 7.01% from 6.73%. Interest earned on loans increased to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $5.6 million for the prior year period, reflecting a $65.5 million, or 20.8%, increase in the average balance of loans as well as a 13 basis point increase in the average yield on such loans to 7.31% from 7.18%. The improved yield on loans reflected the higher balance of higher-yielding commercial business, commercial real estate and construction loans. The yield on loans would have been 28 basis points greater at 7.59% if not for the non-performing loans at June 30, 2007.

Interest earned on our investment securities increased $14,000, or 3.0%, to $476,000 (adjusted for tax-exempt interest on bonds) for the three months ended June 30, 2007. A $4.3 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities was offset by a 50 basis point increase in the average yield on such securities to 4.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 3.87% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decreased average balance of our investment securities reflected the deployment of proceeds from principal repayments into higher-yielding loans.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 50.0%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to a $62.0 million, or 18.7%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $393.1 million from $331.0 million. In addition, the average cost of such liabilities increased to 4.13% from 3.27% in the higher interest rate environment.

The average balance of interest bearing deposits increased to $328.0 million from $292.4 million while the average cost of such deposits increased to 3.94% from 3.08% in the higher interest rate environment. This resulted in an increase in interest paid on deposits to $3.2 million from $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year. Interest paid on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased to $832,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $458,000 for the prior year period. In addition to an increase in the average balance of such advances to $65.1 million from $38.7 million, there was a 38 basis point increase in the average cost of Federal Home Loan Bank advances to 5.13% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 4.75% for the prior year period.

Provision for Loan Losses. Management recorded a provision of $75,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a $240,000 provision for the prior year period.

Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Management reviews the level of the allowance on a quarterly basis, and establishes the
 

18


provision for loan losses based on the factors set forth in the preceding paragraph. Historically, our loan portfolio has consisted primarily of one-to four-family residential mortgage loans. However, our current business plan calls for increases in construction, commercial real estate and commercial business loans.  As management evaluates the allowance for loan losses, the increased risk associated with larger non-homogenous construction, commercial real estate and commercial business loans may result in larger additions to the allowance for loan losses in future periods.
 
Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary, based on estimates that are susceptible to change as a result of changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, as an integral part of their examination processes, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance, based on their judgments about information available at the time of examination.

Other Income. Non-interest income increased $256,000, or 121.9%, to $466,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $210,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was attributable to service charge income, primarily due to $102,000 in loan prepayment penalties received in the current year period. The increase was also the result of a $104,000 loss on the sale of investment securities recorded in the prior year period.

Other Expenses. Non-interest expense increased $533,000, or 17.8%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Compensation and employee benefits increased $247,000, or 13.5% to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Stock award and stock option expenses related to the Magyar Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan accounted for $116,000 of the increase in the current year period. In addition to merit increases between the two periods, this increase reflected staff additions for the Branchburg, New Jersey branch opened in September 2006 and the New Brunswick, New Jersey branch opened in March 2007.

The higher non-interest expense also was due to higher occupancy expenses, which increased $211,000, or 48.4%, to $647,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $436,000 for the prior year period. The increase primarily reflected the addition of the Bank’s Branchburg and New Brunswick offices.

In addition, other expenses increased $51,000, or 13.4%, to $431,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $380,000. The increase was due to expenses related to the non-performing loans described above as well as general increases in operating costs.

Income Tax Expense/Benefit. Income tax expense decreased $40,000, or 32.8%, to $82,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $122,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The effective tax rate was 29.7% and 30.7% for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The difference in the effective tax rate in 2007 as compared to 2006 was primarily a result of the relative percentage of the permanent differences as compared to pretax income. The decrease was also attributable to the creation of the Magbank Investment Company in August 2006. The MagBank Investment Company meets the requirements to elect New Jersey Investment Company status and therefore is subject to a New Jersey state tax rate of 3.6% compared with a 9.0% corporate business tax rate for New Jersey corporations.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

Net Income/Loss. The net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 increased $856,000 to $625,000 from a net loss of $231,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. The loss of $231,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 resulted primarily from the expense of a $1.5 million contribution to the Magyar Bank Charitable Foundation as part of the Company’s initial public offering.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased $646,000, or 6.7%, to $10.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $9.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. Total interest and dividend income increased $4.8 million to $21.7 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2007 while total interest expense increased $4.1 million to $11.4 million for the same nine month period. While our interest rate spread decreased 33 basis points to 2.98% from 3.31%, our net interest earning assets increased to $34.6 million from $32.6 million, which resulted in the increase in net interest and dividend income.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $4.8 million, or 28.3%, to $21.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $16.9 million for the same period last year. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $55.4 million to $414.7 million from $359.3 million. In addition, there was an improvement of 71 basis points in the average yield on such assets to 6.99% from 6.28%. Interest income on loans increased 31.8% to $20.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $15.3 million for the prior year period, reflecting a $65.5 million, or 21.6%, increase in the average balance of loans as well as a 57 basis point increase in the average yield on such loans to 7.29% from 6.72%. The improved yield on loans reflected the larger balance of higher-yielding commercial business, commercial real estate and construction loans, as well as an overall higher interest rate environment for such loans.

Interest earned on investment securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock, was $1.4 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. A decrease of $8.1 million in the average balance of such securities to $42.2 million from $50.3 million was entirely offset by a 61 basis point increase in the average yield on investment securities from 3.80% to 4.41%. The decreased average balance of our investment securities reflected the deployment of proceeds from investment repayments into higher-yielding loans.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $4.1 million, or 57.0%, to $11.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $7.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to a $53.4 million, or 16.4%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $380.1 million from $326.7 million. In addition, the average cost of such liabilities increased to 4.01% from 2.97% in the higher interest rate environment.

The average balance of interest bearing deposits increased $35.4 million to $322.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $287.1 million for the same period last year while the average cost of such deposits increased 108 basis points to 3.81% from 2.73%. This resulted in a 56.7% increase in interest paid on deposits to $9.2 million from $5.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2006. Interest paid on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $873,000 to $2.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.3 million for the prior year period. The increase in advance interest expense was due to an increase in the average balance of such advances to $57.6 million from $38.5 million combined with a 50 basis point increase in the average cost of Federal Home Loan Bank advances to 5.11% for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from 4.61% for the prior year period.  The proceeds from the increase in the balance of deposits and advances were used to fund the increase in loans during the period.

Provision for Loan Losses. Management made a provision of $352,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a $600,000 provision for the prior year period. The decrease in the provision in 2007 as compared to 2006 was due to management’s estimates of losses existing in the loan portfolio as well as a loan loss recovery in the amount of $120,000 from a commercial business loan charged-off in September 2006. The allowance for loan losses was $4.1 million, or 1.1% of gross loans outstanding at June 30, 2007, compared to $3.7 million, or 1.0% of gross loans outstanding at June 30, 2006.

Other Income. Non-interest income increased $406,000 to $1.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $713,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was attributable to service charge income, primarily due to an increase in loan prepayment penalties of $101,000 received in the current year period. Loan commitment fees and late charges have also increased in proportion with the growth in the loan portfolio. The increase was also the result of a one-time $104,000 loss on the sale of investment securities recorded in the prior year period.

 Other Expenses. Non-interest expense decreased $71,000 to $10.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $10.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. Included with the 2006 expenses was a $1.5 million contribution to the Magyar Bank Charitable Foundation in conjunction with the Company’s initial public offering on January 23, 2006.

Compensation and employee benefits rose 13.5% or $698,000 to $5.9 million during the nine month period ended June 30, 2007 from $5.2 million during the nine month period ended June 30, 2006. Stock award and stock option expenses related to the Magyar Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan accounted for $154,000 of the increase in the current year period. In addition to merit increases between the two periods, this increase also reflected staff additions for the Branchburg, New Jersey branch opened in September 2006 and the New Brunswick, New Jersey branch opened in March 2007.

Occupancy expense increased $508,000 or 37.7% to $1.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 from $1.3 million for the prior year period. The increase reflected depreciation of the Bank’s new corporate headquarters, which was completed in January 2006 and the addition of the Bank’s Branchburg and New Brunswick offices in the current nine month period.

In addition, other expenses increased $330,000, or 31.1%, to $1.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.1 million for the same period last year of which $98,000 was due to costs associated with the Company’s first annual shareholder meeting and $109,000 was due to expenses related to the non-performing loans described above.

Income Tax Expense/Benefit. Income tax expense was $231,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to an income tax benefit of $284,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. The effective tax rate was 27.0% and 55.1% for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The difference in the effective tax rate in 2007 as compared to 2006 was primarily a result of the relative percentage of the permanent differences as compared to pretax income/(loss). The decrease was also attributable to the creation of the Magbank Investment Company in August 2006. The MagBank Investment Company meets the requirements to elect New Jersey Investment Company status and therefore is subject to a New Jersey state tax rate of 3.6% compared with a 9.0% corporate business tax rate for New Jersey corporations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  FIN 48 clarifies FASB 109, to indicate a criterion that an individual tax position would have to meet for some or
 

21


all of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an entity’s financial statements.  In applying FIN 48, an entity is required to evaluate a tax position using a two-step process.  First, the entity should evaluate the position for recognition. An entity should recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position if it determines that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination. The term “more likely than not” means “a likelihood of more than 50 percent.” In assessing whether the more-likely-than-not criterion is met, the entity should assume that the tax position will be reviewed by the applicable taxing authority. Additionally, if past administrative practices and precedents of the taxing authority are widely understood, those practices and precedents should be considered in an entity’s assessment of the more-likely-than-not criterion. The second step is measurement: a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 (as of October 1, 2007 for the Company) and is currently under evaluation by the Company to determine the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This Statement applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years (as of September 30, 2008 for the Company). The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans,” which requires employers to recognize on their balance sheets the funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans.  This requirement is effective as of the end of the first fiscal year ending after March 31, 2007 (as of September 30, 2007 for the Company). Statement 158 will also require fiscal-year-end measurements of plan assets and benefit obligations, eliminating the use of earlier measurement dates currently permissible. The new measurement-date requirement will not be effective until fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008 (as of September 30, 2009). The Statement amends Statements 87, 88, 106 and 132R, but retains most of their measurement and disclosure guidance and will not change the amounts recognized in the income statement as net periodic benefit cost.  The Company is evaluating the effect of SFAS No. 158 on its financial statements.
 
            In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108), to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that registrants use a dual approach in quantifying misstatements based on their impact on the financial statements and related disclosures. SAB 108 is effective as of September 30, 2007, allowing a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for errors (if any) that were not previously deemed material, but are material under the guidance in SAB 108.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB 108 on its financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which included an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. Statement 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Statement 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, (as of October 1, 2008 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before
 

22


November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Company has not made an early adoption election and SFAS No. 159 is currently under evaluation by the Company to determine the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Liquidity
 
The Company’s liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, pay withdrawals of deposits, and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost-effective manner. The Company’s short-term sources of liquidity include maturity, repayment and sales of assets, excess cash and cash equivalents, new deposits, brokered deposits, other borrowings, and new advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. There has been no material adverse change during the three month period ended June 30, 2007 in the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to fund their operations.
 
At June 30, 2007, the Company had commitments outstanding under letters of credit of $1.0 million, commitments to originate loans of $53.0 million, and commitments to fund undisbursed balances of closed loans and unused lines of credit of $33.2 million. There has been no material change during the nine months ended June 30, 2007 in any of the Company’s other contractual obligations or commitments to make future payments.

On April 26, the Company announced its first stock repurchase program. Under this program, up to 5% of its outstanding shares of common stock (excluding shares held by Magyar Bancorp, MHC), or up to 130,927 shares may be purchased in the open market and through other privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. The timing of the repurchases will depend on certain factors, including but not limited to, market conditions and prices, the Company's liquidity requirements and alternative uses of capital. Any repurchased shares will be held as treasury stock and will be available for general corporate purposes.

The Company had repurchased 92,100 shares at a weighted average cost of $14.76 per share under the stock repurchase plan at June 30, 2007 for $1.4 million.

Capital Requirements
 
The Bank was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements as of June 30, 2007.
 
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Asset and Liability Management
 
The Company’s market risk exposure is predominately caused by interest rate risk, which is defined as the sensitivity of the Company’s current and future earnings, the values of its assets and liabilities, and the value of its capital to changes in the level of market interest rates. The Company’s balance sheet at September 30, 2006 reflected sensitivity to decreases in market interest rate movements. In an effort to reduce the anticipated negative affect on earnings from decreases in market interest rates, interest rate floors with notional amounts of $15 million were held by the Bank at June 30, 2007.

Management of the Company believes that there has not been a material adverse change in market risk during the nine months ended June 30, 2007

ITEM 3 – Controls and Procedures
 
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) 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 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.
 
No change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15(d)-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.
