PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

PROVIDENT NEW YORK BANCORP AND GOTHAM BANK OF NEW YORK

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet and Statements of Income

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements of Provident New York Bancorp (the “Company”) and Gotham Bank of New York (“Gotham”) have been prepared to give effect to the acquisition of Gotham by the Company pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 17, 2012, by and between Provident Bank and Gotham. At the closing on August 10, 2012, Gotham was merged with and into Provident Bank, with Provident Bank as the surviving entity. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2012, and the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statements of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and the year ended September 30, 2011 are presented herein to reflect the acquisition of Gotham.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet combines the unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2012 and the unaudited balance sheet of Gotham as of June 30, 2012 and gives effect to (i) the acquisition as if it had been completed on June 30, 2012, including any adjustments to fair value required and (ii) the net proceeds from an offering of approximately $46 million of common stock consummated on August 7, 2012. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of income for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 combines the unaudited historical results of the Company for the period presented and the unaudited historical results of Gotham for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of income for the year ended September 30, 2011 combines the audited historical results of the Company and the audited historical results of Gotham for the year ended December 31, 2011. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statements of income give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on October 1, 2010.

The Company’s fiscal year end is September 30, 2011, and Gotham’s fiscal year end is December 31, 2011. The historical consolidated financial information of the Company and Gotham has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements presented are based on the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The actual financial position or results of operations reported by the combined company in periods following the acquisition may differ significantly from those reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for a number of reasons, including but not limited to the impact and benefits of the acquisition, cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies and the incremental costs incurred in successfully integrating and operating the Gotham business. There were no transactions between the Company and Gotham during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements that would need to be eliminated. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements presented are based upon available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements are based upon the respective historical and pro forma financial information of the Company and Gotham, and should be read in conjunction with:

• the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements;

• the separate historical audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended September 30, 2011 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended;

• the separate historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended June 30, 2012;

• the separate historical audited financial statements of Gotham as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 16, 2012; and

• the separate historical unaudited condensed financial statements of Gotham as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2012, included in Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent what the financial position or results of operations would actually have been if the acquisition occurred as of the dates indicated or what such financial position or results will be for any future periods.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared using the purchase method of accounting, with the Company treated as the acquiring entity. Accordingly, consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition of Gotham was allocated to Gotham’s assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of completion of the acquisition. The pro forma purchase price adjustments are preliminary, subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available along with the completion of the independent purchase price allocation and as additional analyses are performed and have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented below.

The Company may incur additional costs associated with integrating the businesses of the Company and Gotham. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements do not reflect the cost of any integration activities or benefits that may result from synergies that may be derived from any integration activities. Therefore, the pro forma financial information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under the assumptions set forth below, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results.
