Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiary, Magyar Bank (the “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 three months ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2014. The September 30, 2013 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.

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. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of other real estate owned, and the assessment of realizability of deferred income tax assets.

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date of December 31, 2013 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through the date these financial statements were issued.

NOTE B- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In connection with the preparation of quarterly and annual reports in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Securities Exchange Act of 1934, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 11.M requires the disclosure of the impact that recently issued accounting standards will have on financial statements when they are adopted in the future.

Accounting Standards Update 2014-04: Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) - Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The objective of this ASU is to reduce the diversity in practice of when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan and when the related loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate owned recognized.

This amendment clarifies that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs with either a) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure, or b) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Upon completion of either of these two events the creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property and therefore should derecognize the loan receivable and recognize the real estate owned.

Additionally, this amendment requires interim and annual disclosure of both a) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and b) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction.

The provisions of this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. For entities other than public business entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. This ASU can be adopted using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect this pronouncement this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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 and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. All stock options and restricted stock awards were anti-dilutive for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and the three months ended December 31, 2012. The following table shows the Company’s earnings per share for the periods presented:

	For the Three Months Ended December 31,
	2013						2012
			Weighted		Per				Weighted		Per
			average		share				average		share
	Income		shares		Amount		Income		shares		Amount
	(In thousands, except per share data)
Basic EPS
Net income available to common shareholders	$	133		5,813	$	0.02	$	282		5,809	$	0.05

Effect of dilutive securities
Options and grants		—		2		—		—		—		—

Diluted EPS
Net income available to common shareholders plus assumed conversion	$	133		5,815	$	0.02	$	282		5,809	$	0.05

Options to purchase 188,276 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $14.61 were outstanding and not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2013 because the grant (or option strike) price was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the periods. Options to purchase 188,276 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $14.61 and 10,364 shares of restricted shares at a weighted average price of $4.43 were outstanding and not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2012 because the grant (or option strike) price was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the periods.

NOTE E – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which 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. ASC 718 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.

ASC 718 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.

Table of Contents

Stock options generally vest over a five-year service period and expire ten years from issuance. 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 was 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 SAB No. 107. The 7-year Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant provided 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. Once vested, these awards are irrevocable. Shares will be obtained from either the open market or treasury stock upon share option exercise.

Restricted shares generally vest over a five-year service period on the anniversary of the grant date. Once vested, these awards are irrevocable. 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.

The following is a summary of the status of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for its option plan for the three months ended December 31, 2013:

					Weighted
			Weighted		Average		Aggregate
	Number of		Average		Remaining		Intrinsic
	Stock Options		Exercise Price		Contractual Life		Value

Balance at September 30, 2013		188,276	$	14.61

Exercisable at December 31, 2013		188,276	$	14.61		3.2 years	$	—

The following is a summary of the Company’s non-vested stock awards as of December 31, 2013 and changes during the three months ended December 31, 2013:

			Weighted
			Average
	Number of		Grant Date
	Stock Awards		Fair Value
Balance at September 30, 2013		9,352	$	4.42
Granted		—		—
Vested		—		—
Forfeited		—		—
Balance at December 31, 2013		9,352	$	4.42

Stock option and stock award expenses included with compensation expense were $0 and $4,000, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2013, and $0 and $4,000, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2012.

The Company announced in November 2007 its second stock repurchase program of up to 5% of its publicly-held outstanding shares of common stock, or 129,924 shares. Through December 31, 2013, the Company had repurchased a total of 81,000 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $8.33 per share under this program. No shares were repurchased during the three months ended December 31, 2013. Under the stock repurchase program, 48,924 shares of the 129,924 shares authorized remained available for repurchase as of December 31, 2013. The Company’s intended use of the repurchased shares is for general corporate purposes, including the funding of awards granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for the benefit of employees of the Company and the Bank who meets 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 that adjusts annually every January 1^st to the then published Prime Rate (3.25% at January 1, 2013) with principal and interest payable annually in equal installments over thirty years. The loan is secured by shares of the Company’s stock.

Table of Contents

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. As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the then current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations.

At December 31, 2013, shares allocated to participants totaled 115,990. Unallocated ESOP shares held in suspense totaled 101,873 at December 31, 2013 and had a fair market value of $759,973. The Company's expense for the ESOP was $23,000 and $15,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(b)	Tax effect included in income tax expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations

NOTE G – FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Our securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as held-to-maturity securities, mortgage servicing rights, loans receivable and other real estate owned, or OREO. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

In accordance with ASC 820, we group our assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

	Level 1 -	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

	Level 2 -	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Table of Contents

Level 3 -

Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

We base our fair values on 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. ASC 820 requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Securities available for sale

Our available for sale portfolio is carried at estimated fair value on a recurring basis, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in stockholders’ equity. Our securities available for sale portfolio consists of U.S government and government-sponsored enterprise obligations, municipal bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. The fair values of these securities are obtained from an independent nationally recognized pricing service. Our independent pricing service provides us with prices which are categorized as Level 2, as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the securities in our portfolio. Various modeling techniques are used to determine pricing for our mortgage-backed securities, including option pricing and discounted cash flow models. The inputs to these models include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data.

The following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Impaired Loans

Loans which meet certain criteria are evaluated individually for impairment. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All amounts due according to the contractual terms means that both the contractual interest and principal payments of a loan will be collected as scheduled in the loan agreement. Three impairment measurement methods are used, depending upon the collateral securing the asset: 1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate (the rate of return implicit in the loan); 2) the asset’s observable market price; or 3) the fair value of the collateral, less anticipated selling and disposition costs, if the asset is collateral dependent. The regulatory agencies require this method for loans from which repayment is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. Our impaired loans are generally collateral dependent and, as such, are carried at the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Fair value is estimated through current appraisals, and adjusted as necessary, by management, to reflect current market conditions and, as such, are generally classified as Level 3.

Table of Contents

Appraisals of collateral securing impaired loans are conducted by approved, qualified, and independent third-party appraisers. Such appraisals are ordered via the Bank’s credit administration department, independent from the lender who originated the loan, once the loan is deemed impaired, as described in the previous paragraph. Impaired loans are generally re-evaluated with an updated appraisal within one year of the last appraisal. However, the Company also obtains updated appraisals on performing construction loans that are approaching their maturity date to determine whether or not the fair value of the collateral securing the loan remains sufficient to cover the loan amount prior to considering an extension. The Company discounts the appraised “as is” value of the collateral for estimated selling and disposition costs and compares the resulting fair value of collateral to the outstanding loan amount. If the outstanding loan amount is greater than the discounted fair value, the Company requires a reduction in the outstanding loan balance or additional collateral before considering an extension to the loan. If the borrower is unwilling or unable to reduce the loan balance or increase the collateral securing the loan, it is deemed impaired and the difference between the loan amount and the fair value of collateral, net of estimated selling and disposition costs, is charged off through a reduction of the allowance for loan loss.

Other Real Estate Owned

The fair value of other real estate owned is determined through current appraisals, and adjusted as necessary, by management, to reflect current market conditions. As such, other real estate owned is generally classified as Level 3.

The following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments not already disclosed above for which it is practicable to estimate fair value:

Cash and interest earning deposits with banks: The carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Held to maturity securities: The fair values of our held to maturity securities are obtained from an independent nationally recognized pricing service. Our independent pricing service provides us with prices which are categorized as Level 2, as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the securities in our portfolio.

Loans: Fair value for the loan portfolio, excluding impaired loans with specific loss allowances, is estimated based on discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB”) stock: The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value and considers the limited marketability of the investment.

Bank-owned life insurance: The carrying amounts are based on the cash surrender values of the individual policies, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Deposits: The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as money market deposit accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts and savings accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to current market rates for deposits of similar size, type and maturity.

Accrued interest receivable and payable: For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances and securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements: The fair value of borrowings is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate currently offered by the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York for borrowings of similar maturity and terms.

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated based on the amount of unamortized deferred loan commitment fees. The fair value of letters of credit is based on the amount of unearned fees plus the estimated cost to terminate the letters of credit. Fair values of unrecognized financial instruments including commitments to extend credit and the fair value of letters of credit are considered immaterial.

The following presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments carried at cost or amortized cost as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates level 1 fair value. For short-term financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization. For financial liabilities such as interest-bearing demand, NOW, and money market savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products having no stated maturity.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company sold its only corporate security from the held to maturity portfolio. The issuer of the $3.0 million bond was recently downgraded by a rating agency, which was considered evidence of a significant deterioration in the issuer’s creditworthiness. The bond was sold for a gain of $36,000. Management does not believe the sale of the bond affects its intent or ability to hold the remaining investment securities in the held to maturity portfolio until their maturity.

The maturities of the debt securities and the mortgage-backed securities held to maturity at December 31, 2013 are summarized in the following table:

NOTE I – IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Company recognizes credit-related other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities in earnings while noncredit-related other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities not expected to be sold are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”).

We review our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market. We evaluate our intent and ability to hold debt securities based upon our investment strategy for the particular type of security and our cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. In addition, the risk of future other-than-temporary impairment may be influenced by prolonged recession in the U.S. economy, changes in real estate values and interest deferrals.

The investment securities listed above currently have fair values less than amortized cost and therefore contain unrealized losses. The Company evaluated these securities and determined that the decline in value was primarily related to fluctuations in the interest rate environment and were not related to any company or industry specific event. At December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, there were thirty seven and thirty three, respectively, investment securities with unrealized losses.

The Company anticipates full recovery of amortized costs with respect to these securities. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and has determined that it is not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities prior to maturity or market price recovery. Management has considered factors regarding other than temporarily impaired securities and determined that there are no securities with impairment that is other than temporary as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013.

The segments of the Bank’s loan portfolio are disaggregated to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. The residential mortgage loan segment is further disaggregated into two classes: amortizing term loans, which are primarily first liens, and home equity lines of credit, which are generally second liens. The commercial real estate loan segment is further disaggregated into three classes. Commercial real estate loans include loans secured by multifamily structures, owner-occupied commercial structures, and non-owner occupied nonresidential properties. The construction loan segment consists primarily of loans to developers or investors for the purpose of acquiring, developing and constructing residential or commercial structures and to a lesser extent one-to-four family residential construction loans made to individuals for the acquisition of and/or construction on a lot or lots on which a residential dwelling is to be built. Construction loans to developers and investors have a higher risk profile because the ultimate buyer, once development is completed, is generally not known at the time of the loan. The commercial business loan segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of commercial customers and consists primarily of revolving lines of credit. The consumer loan segment consists primarily of stock-secured installment loans, but also includes unsecured personal loans and overdraft lines of credit connected with customer deposit accounts.

Management evaluates individual loans in all segments for possible impairment if the loan either is in nonaccrual status, or is risk rated Substandard and is greater than 90 days past due. Loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in evaluating impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Once the determination has been made that a loan is impaired, the recorded investment in the loan is compared to the fair value of the loan using one of three methods: (a) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (b) the loan’s observable market price; or (c) the fair value of the collateral securing the loan, less anticipated selling and disposition costs. The method is selected on a loan-by loan basis, with management primarily utilizing the fair value of collateral method. If there is a shortfall between the fair value of the loan and the recorded investment in the loan, the Company charges the difference to the allowance for loan loss as a charge-off and carries the impaired loan on its books at fair value. It is the Company’s policy to evaluate impaired loans on an annual basis to ensure the recorded investment in a loan does not exceed its fair value.

The following table presents impaired loans by class, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and charged-off and those for which a specific allowance was not necessary at the dates presented:

Management uses a ten point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than three months past due are considered Substandard. Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses as those classified Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values highly questionable and improbable. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as severe delinquency, bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Bank’s Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis. The Asset Review Committee performs monthly reviews of all commercial relationships internally rated 6 (“Watch”) or worse. Confirmation of the appropriate risk grade is performed by an external Loan Review Company that semi-annually reviews and assesses loans within the portfolio. Generally, the external consultant reviews commercial relationships greater than $500,000 and/or criticized relationships greater than $250,000. Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as Substandard on a monthly basis.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful within the Bank’s internal risk rating system at the dates presented:

An allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio. The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience, and the amount of NPLs.

The Bank’s methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (discussed above) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance.

Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate. For general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio. These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualitative and economic factors.

Table of Contents

The loans are segmented into classes based on their inherent varying degrees of risk, as described above. Management tracks the historical net charge-off activity by segment and utilizes this figure, as a percentage of the segment, as the general reserve percentage for pooled, homogenous loans that have not been deemed impaired. Typically, an average of losses incurred over a defined number of consecutive historical years is used. A 5 year history is currently utilized for all loan segments except for construction loans, where the highest single year loss percentage of the most recent five years is used in place of a 5 year average.

Non-impaired credits are segregated for the application of qualitative factors. Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience. The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources include: national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; value of underlying collateral; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint.

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL. Since loans individually evaluated for impairment are promptly written down to their fair value, typically there is no portion of the ALL for loans individually evaluated for impairment.

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and actual losses will vary from current estimates. Management believes that the segmentation of the loan portfolio into homogeneous pools and the related historical loss ratios and other qualitative factors, as well as the consistency in the application of assumptions, result in an ALL that is representative of the risk found in the components of the portfolio at any given date.

The Bank has adopted FASB issue ASU No. 2011-02 on the determination of whether a loan restructuring is considered to be a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”). A TDR is a loan that has been modified whereby the Bank has agreed to make certain concessions to a borrower to meet the needs of both the borrower and the Bank to maximize the ultimate recovery of a loan. TDR occurs when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties and the loan is modified using a modification that would otherwise not be granted to the borrower. The types of concessions granted generally include, but are not limited to interest rate reductions, limitations on the accrued interest charged, term extensions, and deferment of principal.

There were no TDRs for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The following table summarizes the TDR activity for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The TDR listed involved a lower than market interest rate with a borrower having financial difficulties.

A default on a troubled debt restructured loan for purposes of this disclosure occurs when a borrower is 90 days past due or a foreclosure or repossession of the applicable collateral has occurred. During the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no defaults occurred on troubled debt restructured loans that were modified as a TDR within the previous 12 months.

NOTE L – INCOME TAXES

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities: (i) are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns; (ii) are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases; and (iii) are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Where applicable, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance for any portions determined not likely to be realized. The valuation allowance is assessed by management on a quarterly basis and adjusted, by a charge or credit to income tax expense, as changes in facts and circumstances warrant. In assessing whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, management considers projections of future taxable income, the projected periods in which current temporary differences will be deductible, the availability of carry forwards, feasible and permissible tax planning strategies and existing tax laws and regulations. Due to the uncertainty of the Company's ability to realize the benefit of certain deferred tax assets within statutory time limits, the net deferred tax assets are partially offset by a valuation allowance at December 31, 2013, the amount of which has not materially changed from that in place at September 30, 2013.

A reconciliation of income tax between the amounts calculated based upon pre-tax income at the Company’s federal statutory rate and the amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of operations are as follows:

NOTE M - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate floors and collars, as part of its interest rate risk management. Interest rate caps and floors are agreements whereby one party agrees to pay or receive a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount for a predetermined period of time if certain market interest rate thresholds are met. The Company considers the credit risk inherent in these contracts to be negligible.

As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company did not hold any interest rate floors or collars.

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this filing and in future filings by the Company 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,” “believes”, or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those risks previously disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, regulatory considerations, competition, technological developments, retention and recruitment of qualified personnel, and market acceptance of the Company’s pricing, products and services, and with respect to the loans extended by the Bank and real estate owned, the following: risks related to the economic environment in the market areas in which the Bank operates, particularly with respect to the real estate market in New Jersey; the risk that the value of the real estate securing these loans may decline in value; and the risk that significant expense may be incurred by the Company in connection with the resolution of these loans.

The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, 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 the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.

The Company 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. Critical accounting policies may involve complex subjective decisions or assessments. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments on Securities. If the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost, the security is deemed to be impaired. Management evaluates all securities with unrealized losses quarterly to determine if such impairments are “temporary” or “other-than-temporary” in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The Company accounts for temporary impairments based upon security classification as either available for sale, held to maturity or trading. Temporary impairments on “available for sale” securities are recognized, on a tax-effected basis, through AOCI with offsetting entries adjusting the carrying value of the security and the balance of deferred taxes. Conversely, the Company does not adjust the carrying value of “held to maturity” securities for temporary impairments, although information concerning the amount and duration of impairments on held to maturity securities is generally disclosed in periodic financial statements. The carrying value of securities held in a trading portfolio is adjusted to their fair value through earnings on a daily basis. However, the Company maintained no securities in trading portfolios at or during the periods presented in these financial statements.

The Company accounts for other-than-temporary impairments based upon several considerations. First, other-than-temporary impairments on securities that the Company has decided to sell as of the close of a fiscal period, or will, more likely than not, be required to sell prior to the full recovery of the their fair value to a level equal to or exceeding their amortized cost, are recognized in operations. If neither of these criteria apply, then the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into credit-related and noncredit-related components. The credit-related impairment generally represents the amount by which the present value of the cash flows that are expected to be collected on an other-than-temporarily impaired security fall below its amortized cost while the noncredit-related component represents the remaining portion of the impairment not otherwise designated as credit-related. The Company recognizes credit-related, other-than-temporary impairments in earnings, while noncredit-related, other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities are recognized, net of deferred taxes, in AOCI.

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. 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, the methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management.

Table of Contents

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 determined. 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.

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, 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.

The evaluation has a specific and general component. The specific component relates to loans that are delinquent or otherwise identified as impaired through the application of our loan review process and our loan grading system. All such loans are evaluated individually, with principal consideration given to the value of the collateral securing the loan and discounted cash flows. Specific impairment allowances are established as required by this analysis. The general component is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general component of the allowance for loan losses.

Actual loan losses may be significantly greater than the allowances we have established, which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.

Other Real Estate Owned. Real estate acquired through foreclosure, or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, is recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of acquisition or transfer, and subsequently at the lower of its new cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. Adjustments to the carrying value at the date of acquisition or transfer are charged to the allowance for loan losses. The carrying value of the individual properties is subsequently adjusted to the extent it exceeds estimated fair value less estimated selling costs, at which time a provision for losses on such real estate is charged to operations.

Appraisals are critical in determining the fair value of the other real estate owned amount. Assumptions for appraisals are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly affect the valuation of a property. The assumptions supporting such appraisals are carefully reviewed by management to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable.

Deferred Income Taxes. The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities: (i) are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns; (ii) are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases; and (iii) are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Where applicable, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance for any portions determined not likely to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period of enactment. The valuation allowance is adjusted, by a charge or credit to income tax expense, as changes in facts and circumstances warrant.

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, we group our assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Table of Contents

Level 1-Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2-Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3-Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013

Total assets decreased $1.1 million, or 0.2%, to $536.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was attributable to lower interest-bearing deposits with banks.

Cash and interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased $9.1 million, or 51.1%, to $8.7 million at December 31, 2013 from $17.8 million at September 30, 2013.

Total loans receivable increased $8.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2013 to $408.1 million and were comprised of $162.4 million (39.9%) one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, $164.1 million (40.2%) commercial real estate loans, $34.3 million (8.4%) commercial business loans, $20.3 million (5.0%) home equity lines of credit loans, $15.3 million (3.7%) construction loans and $11.6 million (2.8%) other loans. Expansion of the portfolio during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 occurred primarily in 1-4 family residential mortgage loans, which increased $9.5 million, followed by commercial real estate loans, which increased $772,000. Offsetting the increases were decreases in construction loans, which fell $1.5 million, commercial business loans, which fell $154,000, and other and home equity lines of credit, which declined $72,000 and $48,000, respectively.

Total non-performing loans (“NPLs”), defined as loans 90 days or more delinquent, decreased by $512,000, or 3.3%, to $15.1 million at December 31, 2013 from $15.6 million at September 30, 2013. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 3.7% at December 31, 2013 compared to 3.9% at September 30, 2013.

Included in NPLs were 34 residential mortgage loans totaling $9.0 million, six commercial loans totaling $2.4 million, four construction loans totaling $2.9 million, and seven home equity loans totaling $845,000.

The allowance for loan loss increased by $187,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 to $3.2 million from $3.0 million September 30, 2013. The increase during the three was primarily attributable to growth in the loan portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans increased to 21.1% at December 31, 2013 from 19.2% at September 30, 2013. Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased to 0.78% at December 31, 2013 from 0.75% at September 30, 2013.

Future increases in the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on the growth of the loan portfolio, the possible future increases in non-performing loans and charge-offs, the possible additional deterioration of collateral values, and the possible continuation or deterioration of the current economic environment.

Adverse economic conditions have led to high levels of NPLs. The Company determines the carrying value of loans secured by real estate obtaining an updated third-party appraisal of the real estate collateral. Given the deterioration in the economy and, specifically, the housing market, updated valuations of the collateral reflect depreciation from earlier assessments conducted prior to the economic recession. To the extent that an updated valuation of the collateral is insufficient to cover a collateral-dependent loan, the Company reduces the balance of the loan via a charge to the allowance for loan loss. Specific reserves for loan loss may be established for estimated selling and disposition costs as well as portions of the loan expected to be recovered within a reasonable time period.

Non-performing loans secured by one-to four-family residential properties including home equity lines of credit increased $450,000 to $9.8 million at December 31, 2013 from $9.4 million at September 30, 2013. The Company has not and does not intend to originate or purchase sub-prime loans or option-ARM loans. Fiscal year-to-date, Magyar Bank had charged off $108,000 in non-performing residential and home equity line of credit loans through a reduction of its allowance for loan loss.

At December 31, 2013, non-performing construction loans decreased $630,000, or 17.9%, to $2.9 million from $3.5 million at September 30, 2013. The reduction resulted from the foreclosure of real estate collateral securing a non-performing construction loan. The real estate securing the remaining loans consists of vacant and partially completed residential real estate lots. Magyar Bank is determining the proper course of action to collect the principal outstanding on these loans including foreclosure of collateral and pursuit of personal guarantors on the loans. Fiscal year-to-date, Magyar Bank has charged off $75,000 in non-performing construction loan balances through a reduction of its allowance for loan loss.

A number of the Bank’s construction loans have been extended due to slower sales as a result of economic conditions. In cases where updated appraisals reflect collateral values insufficient to cover the loan, additional collateral and/or a principal reduction is required to extend the loan. Some of the Bank’s loans that originally had interest reserves are non-performing. The Bank does not currently have any NPLs with active interest reserves. Once a loan is deemed impaired, any interest reserve is frozen and the loan is placed on non-accrual so that no future interest income is recorded on these loans. At December 31, 2013, the Bank did not have any construction loans with active interest reserves.

Non-performing commercial real estate loans decreased $318,000, or 11.6%, to $2.4 million at December 31, 2013 from $2.7 million at September 30, 2013. Magyar Bank was proceeding with foreclosure of the properties securing these loans at December 31, 2013. Fiscal year-to-date, there have been no charge-offs to commercial real estate loans.

Non-performing commercial business loans decreased $14,000, or 56.0%, to $11,000 at December 31, 2013 from $25,000 at September 30, 2013. Magyar Bank is determining the proper course of action to collect the principal outstanding on these loans which will include foreclosure proceedings for those loans secured by real estate. Fiscal year-to-date, there have been no charge-offs to commercial business loans.

The allowance for loan loss does not typically include a specific reserve for NPLs as all such loans are reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value, based upon updated independent appraisals of collateral or the discounted value of expected loan repayments. Valuations of such loans are performed on an annual basis with charge-offs recorded when appraised values, net of estimated selling and disposition costs, are less than the loan balances. Specific reserves may be used on occasions where an updated valuation is unavailable or where a short-term resolution to the impairment is anticipated. At December 31, 2013, the Bank held specific reserves of $611,000 for loans totaling $22.9 million.

At December 31, 2013, investment securities totaled $67.4 million, reflecting a decrease of $939,000, or 1.4%, from September 30, 2013. Investment securities at December 31, 2013 consisted of $62.0 million in mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, $4.0 million in U.S. government-sponsored enterprise debt securities, $1.4 million in “private-label” mortgage-backed securities, and $11,000 in state municipal bonds. There were no other-than-temporary-impairment charges for the Company’s investment securities for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The Company purchased $4.4 million of U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise obligations, received repayments totaling $2.2 million and sold securities totaling $3.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2013.

Other real estate owned increased $301,000, or 2.0%, to $15.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The increase was due to the foreclosure of property securing a non-performing construction loan. The loan was recorded as $600,000 at September 30, 2013, written down $75,000 during the current quarter, and transferred to OREO with a carrying balance of $525,000. Offsetting the increase was the sale of one property totaling $210,000 and a valuation allowance totaling $14,000 against another property during the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The Bank is determining the proper course of action for its other real estate owned, which may include holding the properties until the real estate market improves, selling the properties and completing partially completed homes for either rental or sale.

Total deposits decreased $12.7 million, or 2.8%, to $440.7 million during the three months ended December 31, 2013. The outflow in deposits occurred in non-interest checking accounts which decreased $14.2 million, or 14.5%, to $84.1 million from $98.3 million, savings accounts, which decreased $2.6 million, or 4.8%, to $50.7 million from $53.3million and money market accounts, which decreased $2.6 million, or 2.4%, to $104.8 million. Partially offsetting the decreases were interest-bearing checking accounts (NOW accounts), which increased $5.1 million, or 12.7%, to $45.6 million, and certificates of deposit (including individual retirement accounts), which increased $1.6 million, or 1.0%, to $155.4 million. The Company held $4.9 million in brokered certificates of deposit at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013.

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $13.6 million to $45.7 million at December 31, 2013 from $32.1 million at September 30, 2013. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase were unchanged at $5.0 million at December 31, 2013.

Stockholders’ equity increased $110,000, or 0.2%, to $45.4 million at December 31, 2013 from $45.3 million at September 30, 2013. The increase was due to the Company’s results from operations, partially offset by changes in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss during the three month period.

The Company did not repurchase shares of its common stock during the three months ended December 31, 2013. Through December 31, 2013, the Company had repurchased 81,000 shares at an average price of $8.33 pursuant to the second stock repurchase plan, which has reduced outstanding shares to 5,811,394.

The Company’s book value per share increased to $7.82 at December 31, 2013 from $7.80 at September 30, 2013. The increase was due to the Company’s results from operations.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

Net Income. Net income decreased $149,000, or 52.8%, to $133,000 from $282,000 during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 compared with the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 due to a $291,000, or 44.0% decrease in other income to $370,000 at December 31, 2013 from $661,000 at December 31, 2012.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased $268,000 to $4.0 million due to an increase in average balances of interest-earning assets and in the net interest margin, which increased 4 basis points to 3.33% for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to 3.29% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. The yield on the Company’s interest-earning assets fell 21 basis points to 4.10% for the three months ended December 31, 2013 from 4.31% for the three months ended December 31, 2012 primarily due to the lower overall interest rate environment. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities fell 22 basis points to 0.93% for the three months ended December 31, 2013 from 1.15% for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was attributable to the lower rate environment and a more favorable funding composition comprised of a larger percentage of lower-cost deposit account balances.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income was unchanged at $5.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. A decrease in the yield on such assets of 21 basis points to 4.10% from 4.31% for the three month ended December 31, 2013 was offset by higher average balances of interest-earning assets, which increased $25.4 million, or 5.6%, to $481.7 million from $456.3 million compared with the prior year period.

Interest earned on loans was $4.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. A $16.0 million increase in the average balance of loans was offset by a 19 basis point decrease in the average yield on such loans to 4.47% from 4.66%. The decrease in yield between the two periods was due primarily to the lower market interest rate environment.

Interest earned on our investment securities, including interest-earning deposits and excluding Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock, increased $33,000, or 8.7%, to $413,000 due to a $9.5 million, or 14.2%, increase in the average balance of such securities to $76.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 from $66.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The average yield decreased 10 basis points to 2.15% for the three months ended December 31, 2013 from 2.25% for the three months ended December 31, 2012 due to the lower overall interest rate market.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $249,000, or 21.2%, to $925,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 from $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $11.3 million, or 2.8%, between the two periods, while the cost on such liabilities fell 22 basis points to 0.93% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 from 1.15% compared with the prior year period.

The average balance of interest bearing deposits decreased $7.6 million to $352.2 million from $359.8 million while the average cost of such deposits decreased 17 basis points to 0.73% from 0.90% in the lower market interest rate environment. As a result, interest expense on deposits decreased $172,000 to $644,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 from $816,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012.

Interest expense on advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $77,000, or 21.5%, to $281,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 from $358,000 for the prior year period due to a 46 basis point decrease in the average cost to 2.73% for the three months ended December 31, 2013 from 3.19% for the prior year period. In addition, the average balance of such borrowings declined $3.8 million to $40.8 million from $44.6 million

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to earnings, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group information and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events occur. After an evaluation of these factors, management recorded a provision of $359,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to a provision of $441,000 for the prior year period. The provision for loan losses decreased $82,000, or 18.6%, during the current period compared with the prior year period primarily attributable to a lower levels of non-performing loans and charge offs.

Table of Contents

Net charge-offs were $172,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $205,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The Bank reduced the carrying balance on three loans totaling $925,000 by $183,000 to the appraised fair value of collateral, net of estimated disposition costs, securing the loans. These consisted of two residential mortgage loans and one construction loan. In addition, the Company received partial recoveries of three loans previously charged-off totaling $11,000 during the quarter.

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 provision for loan losses based on the factors set forth in the preceding paragraph. 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.

Other Income. Non-interest income decreased $291,000, or 44.0%, to $370,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $661,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in non-interest income was attributable to lower net gains on the sales of assets, which were $66,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared with $329,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012.

Other Expenses. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, non-interest expenses increased $299,000 to $3.9 million from $3.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The increase was the result of higher compensation and employee benefit expenses, which increased by $135,000 due to annual merit increases and the hire of a special assets manager to oversee the Company’s Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) portfolio, higher loan servicing expenses, which increased $83,000 due to higher real estate tax expenses for non-performing loans, higher OREO expenses, which increased $45,000, and higher professional fees, which increased $42,000 due to higher legal expenses incurred for the collection on non-performing loans.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded tax expense of $41,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared to $132,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was 23.6% compared to 31.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2012.

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, other borrowings, and new advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. There has been no material adverse change during the three months ended December 31, 2013 in the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to fund their operations.

At December 31, 2013, the Company had commitments outstanding under letters of credit of $884,000, commitments to originate loans of $12.3 million, and commitments to fund undisbursed balances of closed loans and unused lines of credit of $45.8 million. There has been no material change during the three months ended December 31, 2013 in any of the Company’s other contractual obligations or commitments to make future payments.

Capital Requirements

On April 22, 2010, Magyar Bank entered into agreements with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), its principal federal banking regulator, and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the "Department"), which required the Bank to take certain measures to improve its safety and soundness. In connection with these agreements, the Bank stipulated to the issuance by the FDIC and the Department of consent orders against the Bank (the "Consent Orders") relating to certain findings from an examination of the Bank. The Consent Orders were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 on April 23, 2010.

Among the corrective actions required were for the Bank to develop, within 30 days of the April 22, 2010 effective date of the Consent Orders, a written capital plan that details the manner in which the Bank will achieve a Tier 1 capital as a percentage of the Bank's total assets of at least 8%, and total qualifying capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets of at least 12%. The Bank developed and filed a capital plan on a timely basis with the FDIC and the Department.

Table of Contents

On March 2, 2012 the Bank was informed in writing by the FDIC and the Department that the Consent Order entered into with the FDIC and the Department in April 2010 had been terminated. The FDIC and the Department cited the substantial compliance with the Order by the Bank as the reason for the termination of the Order. The Bank is required to maintain Tier 1 capital as a percentage of the Bank's total assets of at least 8%, and total qualifying capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets of at least 12%.

At December 31, 2013, the Bank’s Tier 1 capital as a percentage of the Bank's total assets was 8.18%, and total qualifying capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets was 12.62%.

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during its three months ended December 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal proceedings

On December 14, 2011, Elizabeth E. Hance, the former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, filed a lawsuit against the Company and its directors in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County. The lawsuit alleged, among other things, breach of contract and employment discrimination in connection with Ms. Hance’s December 2009 separation from employment and seeks severance that she claims she was entitled to, as well as other compensatory and punitive damages. In June 2013, Plaintiff dismissed the State Court action and filed a nearly identical action in United States District Court, District of New Jersey which also named the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as a Defendant. Plaintiff’s claims against the individual Members of the Board of Directors were voluntarily dismissed with prejudice. The Company believes that the failure to pay Ms. Hance severance was the result of applicable regulatory prohibitions and that alleged discrimination claims are likewise without merit. The Company intends to defend the suit vigorously.
