NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 -Principles of Consolidation
BCSB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) owns 100% of Baltimore County Savings Bank, F.S.B. and its subsidiaries (the “Bank”). The Bank owns 100% of Ebenezer Road, Inc. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of these companies on a consolidated basis since the date of acquisition. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Ebenezer Road, Inc. sells insurance products. Its operations are not material to the consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 -Basis for Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, (none of which were other than normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis with those of the Bank. The results for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2010. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which are incorporated by reference in BCSB Bancorp, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term related to the determination of the allowance for loan losses (the “Allowance”), other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities and deferred tax assets.
Note 3 -Organization
The Company is a Maryland corporation which was organized to be the stock holding company for the Bank in connection with our second-step conversion and reorganization completed on April 10, 2008. The Bank operates as a federally chartered stock savings association. The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured up to a maximum of $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank’s non-interest earning demand deposit accounts currently have unlimited FDIC insurance.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we determined that, based on our most recent estimate of cash flows, other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) had occurred with respect to one of our mortgage-backed securities and resulted in a pre-tax charge to earnings of $100,000. This security was rated “AAA” by Standard & Poors at origination. This security had an original principle balance of $5.0 million and has a current principle balance of $3.0 million. This security has an estimated fair value of $1.4 million at June 30, 2010. Most of the decline in fair value related to this security is principally due to non-credit factors. Under the revised guidance for recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities, impairment recognition for the Company’s mortgage-backed securities are now segmented into credit and non-credit related components. Any fair value adjustment due to identified credit-related components will be recorded as an adjustment to current period earnings, while non-credit-related fair value adjustments will be recorded through other comprehensive income as the Company does not have the intent to sell the securities nor does it believe it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities.
The following table presents the change in the credit portion of the other-than-temporary impairments recognized in earnings on debt securities for which a portion of the other-than-temporary impairments related to other factors was recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Note 4 –Mortgage-Backed Securities–Available for Sale-continued
The Company engages the service of independent third party valuation professionals to analyze the OTTI status of the non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The OTTI methodology is formulated within The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”). The valuation is meant to be “Level Three” pursuant to FASB ASC –Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. As part of the valuation process and OTTI determination, assumptions related to prepayment, default and loss severity on the collateral supporting the non-agency mortgage-backed securities are input into an industry standard valuation model.
Prepayment Assumptions
Assumptions are based on evaluation of the conditional prepayment rates (CPR) and conditional repayment rates (CRR) over a 1 month, 3 month 6 month, 1 year and lifetime basis – to the extent these values are provided by the servicer; estimated prepayment rates provided by the Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), forecasts from other industry experts, and judgment given recent deterioration in credit conditions and declines in property values.
Default Rates
Estimates for the conditional default rate (CDR) vectors are based on the status of the loans at the valuation date – current, 30-59 days delinquent, 60-89 days delinquent, 90+ days delinquent, foreclosure or REO – and a proprietary loss migration models (i.e. percentage of 30 day delinquents that will ultimately migrate to default, percentage of 60 day delinquents that will ultimately migrate to default, etc.). The model assumes that the 60 day plus population will move to repossession inventory subject to our loss migration assumptions and liquidate over the next 24 months. Defaults vector from month 25 to month 36 to our month 37 CDR value and ultimately vector to zero over an extended period of time of at least 15 years.
Default assumptions are benchmarked to the recent results experienced by major servicers of non-Agency MBS for securities with similar attributes and forecasts from other industry experts and industry research.
Loss Severity
Estimates for loss severity are based on the initial loan to value ratio, the loan’s lien position, private mortgage insurance proceeds available (if any), and the estimated change in the price of the property since origination. The historical change in the value of the property is estimated using theHousing Pricing Indices by Metropolitan Statistical Area (‘MSA”)produced by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA).
Estimates for future changes in the prices of the residences collateralizing the mortgages is based on the Case Shiller forecasts and forecasts by MSA provided by the Housing Predictor website.
The loss severity assumption is static for twelve months then decreases monthly based on future market appreciation. The annual market appreciation assumption is 3.50% after 12 months. The loss severity is subject to a floor value of 23.00%
Loss severity is benchmarked to the recent results of the loan collateral supporting the securities and the results experienced by major servicers of non-agency mortgage-backed-securities for securities with similar attributes.
The prepayment, default and loss severity assumptions result in forecasted cumulative loss rates. These cumulative loss rates are benchmarked to the projected cumulative losses by product, by year of origination, released by other industry experts.

Note 7 -Preferred Stock
On December 23, 2008, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement, and the related Securities Purchase Agreement – Standard Terms (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”), with the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), pursuant to which the Company issued (i) 10,800 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, liquidation preference $1,000 per share (“Series A preferred stock”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase 183,465 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,800,000 in cash.
The Series A preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum until February 15, 2014. Beginning February 16, 2014, the dividend rate will increase to 9% per annum. On and after February 15, 2012, the Company may, at its option, redeem shares of Series A preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for cash at a per share amount equal to the sum of the liquidation preference per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to but excluding the redemption date. Under the original terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is prohibited from redeeming the Series A preferred stock within the first three years unless it completed a qualified equity offering whereby it received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $2.7 million. However, the provisions introduced by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 indicate that once the Company notifies Treasury that it would like to redeem the Series A preferred stock, the Treasury must permit the Company to do so subject to consultation with the OTS. The Company will be subject to existing supervisory procedures for approving redemption requests for capital instruments. The OTS will weigh the Company’s desire to redeem the Series A preferred stock against the contribution of Treasury capital to the Company’s overall soundness, capital adequacy and ability to lend, including confirming that the Company has a comprehensive internal capital assessment process.
The warrant is exercisable at $8.83 per share at any time on or before December 23, 2018. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant and the exercise price per share will be adjusted if specific events occur.
The Series A preferred stock and the warrants were issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Neither the Series A preferred stock nor the warrant will be subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer.

Note 10 -Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance on, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” that requires enhanced disclosures about the transfer of financial assets and a company’s continuing involvement in transferred assets. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This statement changes the derecognition guidance for transferors of financial assets, including entities that sponsor securitizations.
In June 2009 FASB issued guidance which eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity (“QSPE”). The guidance eliminates any reference to a QSPE and requires a transferor to evaluate transfers to such entities under the amended guidance. This guidance also introduces the concept of a participating interest. A participating interest is defined as a proportionate interest ownership interest in a financial asset in which the cash flows from the asset are allocated to the participating interest holders in proportion to their ownership share.
Additionally, this guidance significantly modifies the conditions required for a transfer of a financial asset or a participating interest therein to qualify as a sale and also changes the measurement guidance for transfers of financial assets in that it requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value any servicing assets, servicing liabilities, and any other assets obtained and liabilities incurred in a sale. The statement amends the disclosure requirements that will allow financial statement users to understand the nature and extent of the transferor’s continuing involvement with financial assets that have been transferred. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance, which 1) replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculations for determining whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity with an approach that is primarily qualitative, 2) requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and 3) requires additional disclosure about an enterprise’s involvement in variable interest entities. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact, if any on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
All pending but not yet effective Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) were evaluated and only those listed below could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In April 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18, “Receivables” (Topic 310),Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan is Part of a Pool That is Accounted for as a Single Asset.Modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. ASU No. 2010-18 is effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools for the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010 and are to be applied prospectively although early application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 11 -Guarantees
The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Company has $960,000 of standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2010. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payment required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of June 30, 2010 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not considered to be material.
Note 12 -Fair Value Measurements
Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB guidance for – “Fair Value Measurements” . This guidance defined the concept of fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This guidance applies only to fair value measurements required or permitted under current accounting pronouncements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants as of the measurement date. The statement also expands disclosures about financial instruments that are measured at fair value and eliminates the use of large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets. The disclosure’s emphasis is on the inputs used to measure fair value and the effect on the measurement on earnings for the period. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
GAAP establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based on the inputs used to value the particular asset or liability at the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
| • | | Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| • | | Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted process of identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| • | | Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Each financial instrument’s level assignment with the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement for the particular category. Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications of the Company’s assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis.
There were no transfers between levels during the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the actual date of the event or change in the circumstances that caused the transfer.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of each instrument under the valuation hierarchy.
Securities Available for Sale
Fair values of investment securities are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows and are generally classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. (See note 4 above.)

Nonrecurring fair value changes
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment that may require write downs. The write-downs for the Company’s more significant assets or liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are based on the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value.
Impaired Loans
The Company considers loans to be impaired when it becomes probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All non-accrual loans are considered impaired. The measurement of impaired loans is based on the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, the market price of the loan, or the fair value of the underlying collateral asset.
Foreclosed Real Estate and Repossessed Assets
Once an asset is determined to be uncollectible, the underlying collateral is repossessed and reclassified to Foreclosed Real Estate and Repossessed Assets. These assets are carried at lower of cost or fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell. There was no Foreclosed Real Estate at June 30, 2010.

Note 13 -Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments are summarized below. The fair values of a significant portion of these financial instruments are estimates derived using present value techniques prescribed by the FASB and may not be indicative of the net realizable or liquidation values. Also, the calculation of estimated fair values is based on market conditions at a specific point in time and may not reflect current or future fair values.
The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value for cash, federal funds and interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Fair value is based on bid prices and pricing models received from third party pricing services for investment securities and mortgage backed securities. The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta stock is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Loans receivable were discounted using a single discount rate, comparing the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. These rates were used for each aggregated category of loans as reported on the Office of Thrift Supervision Quarterly Report. The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The Junior Subordinated Debentures are considered to be at fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered on deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank advances is estimated using rates currently offered on advances of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable, accrued interest payable, and mortgage servicing rights approximate fair value. Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.
The Company charges fees for commitments to extend credit. Interest rates on loans for which these commitments are extended are normally committed for periods of less than one month. Fees charged on standby letters of credit and other financial guarantees are deemed to be immaterial and these guarantees are expected to be settled at face amount or expire unused. It is impractical to assign any fair value to these commitments.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
General
The Company is a Maryland corporation which was organized to be the stock holding company for the Bank in connection with our second-step conversion and reorganization completed on April 10, 2008. The Bank operates as a federally chartered stock savings association. The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured up to a maximum of $250,000 by the FDIC. The Bank’s noninterest earning demand deposit accounts have unlimited FDIC insurance.
The Company’s net income is dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on its interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is determined by (i) the difference between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (“interest rate spread”) and (ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s interest rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. To a lesser extent, the Company’s net income also is affected by the level of other income, which primarily consists of fees and charges, and levels of non-interest expenses such as salaries and related expenses.
The operations of the Company are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, competition and the monetary, fiscal and regulatory policies of governmental agencies. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest, primarily on competing investments, account maturities and the levels of personal income and savings in the Company’s market area.
Forward-Looking Statements
When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions in the Company’s market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company’s market area, whether regulatory approval will be obtained for the branch sales described above under “ Sale of Branches”, competition and information provided by third-party vendors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected and the risk factors described in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.
The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition is based on the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for loan losses.
21
Management believes the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s evaluation of the level of the allowance required in relation to the estimated loss exposure in the loan portfolio. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is a significant estimated loss and therefore regularly evaluates it for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as prior loan loss experience, the character and size of the loan portfolio, business and economic conditions and management’s estimation of losses. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different provisions for loan losses.
Securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. The term “other than temporary” is not intended to indicate a permanent decline in value. Rather, it means that the prospects for near term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the investment. Under the revised guidance, for recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments the amount of other-than-temporary impairment that is recognized through earnings for debt securities is determined by comparing the present value of the expected cash flows to the amortized cost of the security. The revised guidance also requires that an evaluation be done to determine whether the Company has the intent to sell or will be more likely than not required to sell these securities. The discount rate used to determine the credit loss is the expected book yield on the security.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset/liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for the future consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period indicated by the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets when, in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become realizable. The judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond the Company’s control. It is at least reasonably possible that management’s judgment about the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets could change in the near term.

Recent Developments
Sale of Branches
On January 12, 2010, BCSB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that on January 12, 2010 its subsidiary, Baltimore County Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”) entered into a definitive Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with American Bank (“American”) under which the Bank will sell four branch offices, located at 6335 Baltimore National Pike, Catonsville, Maryland, 9416 Baltimore National Pike, Ellicott City, Maryland, 4228 Harford Road, Baltimore, Maryland, and 9231 Lakeside Boulevard, Owings Mills, Maryland (collectively, the “Branches”), to American. The agreement provides that American will assume the deposits associated with the Branches, which totaled approximately $89.8 million at June 30, 2010. Under the agreement, American will purchase the personal property, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment located at the Branches and the Bank’s right, title and interest in and to the real property on which the Hamilton Branch is located and the buildings and improvements situated thereon. American also will assume the leases for the premises for the Catonsville, Ellicott City and Owings Mills Branches. American will pay a premium equal to the lesser of 2% of the deposit liabilities it assumes or $1,350,000. The application for this transactions remains under review by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Due to the extended review period, the agreement can be terminated by either party at any time after June 30, 2010. For further information regarding the proposed sale of branches, including a copy of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, see the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2010.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, assets increased by $52.9 million, or 9.3%, from $569.4 million at September 30, 2009 to $622.3 million at June 30, 2010. Our cash and cash equivalents increased $70.3 million, or 174.1% from $40.3 million at September 30, 2009 to $110.5 million at June 30, 2010, primarily due to an increase in deposits and principal repayments on loans receivable and mortgage-backed securities. Net loans receivable decreased $4.4 million, or 1.1%, from $401.0 million at September 30, 2009 to $396.6 million at June 30, 2010. Management’s lending strategy remains focused on commercial real estate, commercial business and home equity lending. Mortgage-backed securities available for sale decreased by $13.1 million, or 14.5%, from $90.5 million at September 30, 2009 to $77.4 million at June 30, 2010 resulting primarily from principal payments received during the period. At June 30, 2010, all mortgage-backed securities were classified as available for sale for liquidity purposes. The cash surrender value on the bank owned life insurance increased $441,000, or 2.9% from $15.0 million at September 30, 2009 to $15.4 million at June 30, 2010. Accrued interest and other assets increased $1.4 million , or 12.3% from $11.3 million at September 30, 2009 to $12.7 million at June 30, 2010 primarily due to the prepayment of the FDIC insurance premiums during the current fiscal year.
The Company has accumulated higher than normal levels of liquidity in anticipation of the pending sale of four branches. The amount of liquidity actually utilized in connection with this transaction will be dependant upon the amount of liquidity available at the time of settlement and the total amount of deposits transferred. In any event, a substantial amount of the liquidity on hand at June 30, 2010 is expected to be deployed in connection with this transaction.
Deposits increased by $49.8 million, or 10.2%, from $488.0 million at September 30, 2009 to $537.8 million at June 30, 2010. The Bank has been successful in attracting new deposits without increasing the overall cost for such funds.
Stockholders’ equity increased by $1.8 million, or 3.0%, from $59.1 million at September 30, 2009 to $60.9 million at June 30, 2010. This increase was due primarily to a decline in accumulated other comprehensive loss during the period. Our accumulated other comprehensive loss net of taxes was $389,000 at June 30, 2010, compared to accumulated other comprehensive loss net of taxes of $1.8 million at September 30, 2009. At June 30, 2010, we had $4.1 million of gross unrealized losses related to collateralized mortgage obligations with an amortized cost of $20.2 million as of that date. These securities contain mortgages with Alt-A characteristics. Gross unrealized losses for these same securities were approximately $6.1 million as of September 30, 2009. We recorded other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges of $500,000 on these securities during the year ended September 30, 2009 and $100,000
23
during the nine months ended June 30, 2010. We do not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not we will be required to sell, these securities before maturity or recovery. If in the future it is determined that future declines in market values or credit losses with respect to these or any other securities are other than temporary, the Company would be required to recognize additional losses in its Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
Net Income. Net income available to common shareholders was $169,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and a loss of $398,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to improved net interest margin resulting from reduced cost of funds on the deposit portfolio during the period and reduced OTTI charges. The increase was partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $1.9 million.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $2.6 million, or 21.9%, from $11.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to $14.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net interest income primarily was due to an improved net interest margin resulting from reduced cost of funds on the deposit portfolio during the period. The net interest margin increased 52 basis points from 2.93% for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to 3.45% for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $800,000, or 3.6%, from $22.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to $21.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. This was primarily due to a decrease in the average rate earned on interest earning assets during the period. The average rate earned on total interest-earning assets declined by 38 basis points from 5.58% for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to 5.20% for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
Interest Expense.Interest expense, which consists of interest on deposits, interest on borrowed money and other interest expense decreased from $10.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to $7.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $3.4 million or 31.6%. Interest on deposits decreased $2.8 million from $9.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to $6.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was due to the decrease in the average cost of deposits of 85 basis points from 2.63% for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to 1.78% for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. This was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits of $22.1 million from $492.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to $514.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. Interest on short-term borrowings decreased by $284,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as there were no short-term borrowings outstanding during the period. Other interest expense decreased by $271,000 or 37.3% from $727,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to $456,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. This was due to the decline in interest expense on Junior Subordinated Debentures. The average cost of funds on the debt decreased by 213 basis points, from 5.70% for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to 3.57% for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The rates on the Junior Subordinated Debentures are based on LIBOR and adjust quarterly.
24
Average Balance Sheet. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and cost of liabilities for the periods indicated and the yields earned and rates paid. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Total average assets are computed using month-end balances.
The table also presents information for the periods indicated with respect to the differences between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, or “interest rate spread,” which banks have traditionally used as an indicator of profitability. Another indicator of net interest income is “net interest margin,” which is net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets.

Provision for Loan Losses. We charge or credit to income provisions for loan losses to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level we consider adequate to provide for losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. In determining the provision, we consider a number of factors such as existing loan levels, prior loss experience, current economic conditions and the probability of these conditions affecting existing loans. We established a $2.8 million provision for losses on loans during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to a provision of $900,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The increased loan loss provisions were necessary to address the continued decline in overall economic conditions and increases in troubled assets, particularly in relation to the commercial loan portfolio. Nonperforming loans were $13.9 million at June 30, 2010 versus $7.7 million at September 30, 2009, the Company’s prior fiscal year end. Most of the nonperforming assets consisted of commercial loans, which increased to $13.1 million at June 30, 2010 from $6.3 million at September 30, 2009 partially due to the addition to nonperforming assets of one $3.5 million loan relationship. The loan is secured with commercial real estate utilized as an owner occupied manufacturing facility. Loan charge-offs for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 were $532,000 as compared to $291,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $241,000. Loan recoveries were $92,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $176,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. In establishing such provisions, we considered an analysis of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. For additional information see “Asset Quality”.
Other Income.Other income increased $575,000, or 48.2%, from $1.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to $1.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in other income for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to decreased OTTI charges of $400,000, or 80.0%, and increased income from Bank Owned Life Insurance of $99,000, or 29.9%. Miscellaneous income also increased by $378,000, or 89.1%, which was primarily due to additional commissions from investment services. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in gains on repossessed assets of $188,000, or 95.9%, and a decrease of $147,000, or 20.5%, in fees on transaction accounts.
Non-interest Expenses.Total non-interest expenses increased by $195,000, or 1.6%, from $12.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to $12.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. This was primarily due to an increase of $872,000, or 14.5% in salaries and related expenses due to additional personnel and increased benefit costs. Occupancy expense also increased by $110,000, or 6.2% from $1.8 million for the nine months ended June 30,
26
2009 to $1.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional fees of $257,000, or 37.0% from $694,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to $437,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in professional fees was primarily due to current year legal fees reimbursements from our commercial insurance provider for prior period litigation. Other expenses also decreased by $280,000, or 57.3%, from $489,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to $209,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. This was primarily due to decreased real estate foreclosure expenses and a decrease in bank service charges. Federal deposit insurance premiums decreased by $107,000, or 13.6% from $789,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to $682,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was due primarily to a special assessment in 2009 to all banks to replenish the reserve fund.
Income Taxes. Our income tax expense (benefit) was $193,000 and $(166,000) for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The change in income taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to increased pretax earnings and fluctuations in income from bank owned life insurance, which impacts our effective tax rate since it is not subject to income taxes.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
Net Income. Net income available to common shareholders increased by $1.0 million, from a loss of $575,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to income of $451,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase reflects improved net interest income, which increased by $506,000, from $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. There was also a decrease in the provision for loan loss of $300,000, a decrease in the OTTI impairment charges of $500,000 and reduced non-interest expenses of $476,000.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $506,000, or 12.2%, from $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net interest income primarily was attributable to reduced cost of funds on the deposit portfolio during the period. The net interest margin increased 20 basis points from 3.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 3.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $317,000, or 4.3% from $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This was primarily due to a decrease in the average rate earned on all interest earning assets and the decline in outstanding principal balances of mortgage-backed securities during the period. The average rate earned on total interest-earning assets declined by 50 basis points from 5.40% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 4.90% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Interest and fees on loans remained stable at $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010. There was an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $2.1 million from $395.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $397.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The average rate earned on loans declined by 10 basis points from 6.13% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 6.03% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $266,000 or 20.7% from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This decline was due to a decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities from $92.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $80.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The yield on mortgage-backed securities also decreased by 52 basis points from 5.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 5.03% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Interest Expense. Interest expense, which consists of interest on deposits, interest on borrowed money and other interest expense decreased, from $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $823,000 or 25.3%. Interest on deposits decreased $728,000 from $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was due to the decrease in the average cost of deposits of 69 basis points from 2.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 1.70% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits of $33.1 million from $501.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $534.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Interest on short-term borrowings decreased by $59,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as there were no short-term borrowings outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2010. Other interest expense decreased by $36,000 or 19.0% from $189,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $153,000
27
for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This was due to the decline in rates paid on Junior Subordinated Debentures. The average cost of funds on the debt decreased by 84 basis points, from 4.44% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 3.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The rates on the Junior Subordinated Debentures are based on LIBOR and adjust quarterly.
Average Balance Sheet. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and cost of liabilities for the periods indicated and the yields earned and rates paid. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Total average assets are computed using month-end balances.
The table also presents information for the periods indicated with respect to the differences between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, or “interest rate spread,” which banks have traditionally used as an indicator of profitability. Another indicator of net interest income is “net interest margin,” which is net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets.

Provision for Loan Losses. We charge or credit to income provisions for loan losses to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level we consider adequate to provide for losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. In determining the provision, we consider a number of factors such as existing loan levels, prior loss experience, current economic conditions and the probability of these conditions affecting existing loans. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 we established additional provisions for losses on loans of $300,000, as compared to a provision of $600,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Additional loan loss provisions were necessary to address the continued decline in overall economic conditions and increases in troubled assets, particularly in relation to the commercial loan portfolio. Nonperforming loans were $13.9 million at June 30, 2010 versus $9.6 million at March 31, 2010. Most of the nonperforming assets consisted of commercial loans, which increased to $12.5 million at June 30, 2010 from $8.1 million at March 31, 2010 primarily due to the addition to nonperforming assets of one $2.5 million loan relationship. The loan is secured with commercial real estate . Loan charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $483,000 as compared to $162,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Loan recoveries were $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. In establishing such provisions, we considered an analysis of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. For additional information see “Asset Quality.”
Other Income.Other income was $563,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $138,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the “OTTI” charge on investment securities of $500,000. This was partially offset by a decrease in fees on transaction accounts of $29,000, or 13.4% from $216,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $187,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and a decrease in income from Bank Owned Life Insurance which declined by $38,000, or 22.1%.
Noninterest Expenses.Total non-interest expenses decreased by $476,000, or 10.7%, from $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This was primarily due to decreased Federal deposit insurance premiums by $288,000, or 59.6% from $483,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $195,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was due to a special assessment during the three months ended June 30, 2009 assessed to all banks to replenish the reserve fund. Professional fees also decreased by $125,000, or 52.7% from $237,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $112,000 for the three months ended
29
June 30, 2010. The decrease in professional fees was due to reimbursement of legal fees from our commercial insurance provider for prior period litigation. Other expenses also decreased by $105,000, or 60.0%, from $175,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $70,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This was primarily due to decreased losses on dishonored checks and ATM disputes and a decrease in bank service charges. Property and equipment expense decreased by $50,000, or 22.4% from $223,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $173,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to decreased depreciation expense as certain assets have become fully depreciated. Advertising also decreased by $89,000, or 51.7% from $172,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $83,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to decreased advertising. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $101,000, or 4.8% in salaries and related expenses from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to additional personnel and increased benefit costs. Occupancy expense also increased by $98,000, or 17.0% from $576,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $674,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due primarily to real estate taxes associated with nonperforming loans.
Income Taxes. Our income tax expense (benefit) was $326,000 and $(356,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The change in income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to increased income. Our effective tax rate is impacted by income received from Bank Owned Life Insurance, which is not subject to income taxes.
Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk including commitments to extend credit under existing lines of credit and commitments to sell loans. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
Off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit and interest rate risk are summarized as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | At June 30, 2010 | | At September 30, 2009 |
| | (In thousands) |
| | |
Commitments to originate new loans | | $ | 4,335 | | $ | 5,866 |
Unfunded commitments to extend credit under existing equity line and commercial lines of credit | | | 36,016 | | | 33,859 |
Commercial letters of credit | | | 960 | | | 1,038 |
Commitments to originate new loans or to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Loan commitments generally expire within 30 to 45 days. Most equity line commitments for the unfunded portion of equity lines are for a term of 20 years, and commercial lines of credit are generally renewable on an annual basis. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.

At September 30, 2009 non-performing assets were $8.3 million or 1.46% of total assets. Our net charge-offs for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 were $440,000 and $115,000, respectively. Our allowance for loan losses was $6.3 million at June 30, 2010 compared to $3.9 million at September 30, 2009.

Also included in this category are Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs). At June 30, 2010 TDRs totaled $3.7 million, of which $3.2 million were not delinquent. At September 30, 2009, TDR’s totaled $3.9 million, of which $3.7 million were not delinquent. Reporting guidance requires disclosure of these loans as nonperforming even though they may be current in terms of principal and interest payments. |

Regulations require that we classify assets on a regular basis. There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful and loss. We regularly review our assets to determine whether any assets require classification or re-classification. At June 30, 2010, the Company had $29.0 million in classified assets, consisting of $16.9 million in substandard collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), $12.1 million in substandard and loss loans, and $0 in repossessed assets. At September 30, 2009, the Company had $4.9 million in classified assets consisting of $4.3 million in substandard and loss loans, and $639,000 in foreclosed property or other real estate owned.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, the Company added $17.3 million in CMOs to its substandard asset category. Although these securities have performed in accordance with contractual terms to date, they have Alt-A characteristics and are rated below investment grade. Additionally, $600,000 in cumulative OTTI charges have been recorded in connection with these securities. As a result, they have been classified as substandard in accordance with regulatory guidelines.
In addition to regulatory classifications, we also classify as “special mention” assets that are currently performing in accordance with their contractual terms but may exhibit some form of credit weakness and may become classified or non-performing assets in the future. At June 30, 2010, we have identified approximately $15.7 million in assets classified as special mention. At September 30, 2009, $14.7 million in assets were classified as special mention.
The Bank’s methodology for establishing the allowance for loan losses takes into consideration probable losses that have been identified in connection with specific assets as well as losses that have not been identified but are expected to have occurred. Management conducts regular reviews of the Banks’ assets and evaluates the need to establish
33
allowances on the basis of these reviews. Allowances are established by management and reviewed by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis based on an assessment of risk in the Bank’s assets taking into consideration the composition and quality of the portfolio, delinquency trends, current charge-off and loss experience, loan concentrations, the state of the real estate market, regulatory reviews conducted in the regulatory examination process and economic conditions generally. Additional provisions for losses on loans are made in order to bring the allowance to a level deemed adequate. Specific reserves will be provided for individual assets, or portions of assets, when ultimate collection is considered improbable by management based on the current payment status of the assets and the fair value of the collateral.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2010, the Bank exceeded all regulatory minimum capital requirements. For information comparing the Bank’s tangible, core and risk-based capital levels to the regulatory requirements, see Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits and proceeds from maturing investment securities and mortgage-backed securities and principal and interest payments on loans. While maturities and scheduled amortization of mortgage-backed securities and loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, competition and other factors.
The primary investing activities of the Company are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had $47.3 million and $53.1 million, respectively, of gross loan originations. The Company purchased $16.2 million in mortgage-backed securities during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and $0 during the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The primary financing activity of the Company is the attraction of savings deposits.
The Company has other sources of liquidity if there is a need for funds. The Bank has the ability to obtain advances from the FHLB of Atlanta in excess of $140 million as of June 30, 2010. In addition, securities in the available for sale portfolio provide liquidity and the Company has the immediately liquid resources of cash and cash due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, if needed.
The Bank is required to maintain adequate levels of liquid assets as defined by OTS regulations. Management seeks to maintain a relatively high level of liquidity in order to retain flexibility in terms of investment opportunities and deposit pricing. Because liquid assets generally provide for lower rates of return, the Bank’s relatively high liquidity will, to a certain extent, result in lower rates of return on assets.
The Company’s most liquid assets are cash, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, which are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than ninety days that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company’s operating, financing and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2010, cash, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold were $13.3 million, $11.9 million and $85.3 million, respectively.
We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current commitments. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature in less than one year at June 30, 2010 totaled $166.6 million. Based on past experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with Baltimore County Savings Bank. Baltimore County Savings Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk made in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are standby letters of credit, lines of credit and commitments to fund mortgage loans and involve to varying degrees elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial position. The contract amounts of those instruments express the extent of involvement Baltimore County Savings Bank has in this class of financial instruments and represents Baltimore County Savings Bank’s exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party. Baltimore County Savings Bank generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance-sheet credit risk. At June 30, 2010, Baltimore County Savings Bank had commitments under standby letters of credit, lines of credit and commitments to originate loans of $960,000, $36.0 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

The Company has accumulated higher than normal levels of liquidity in anticipation of the pending sale of four branches. The amount of liquidity actually utilized in connection with this transaction will be dependant upon the amount of liquidity available at the time of settlement and the total amount of deposits transferred. In any event, a substantial amount of the liquidity on hand at June 30, 2010 is expected to be deployed in connection with this transaction.
In March 2002, BCSB Bankcorp issued $12,887,000 of junior subordinated debentures to BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust, in which BCSB Bancorp now owns all of the common equity. The debentures carry a rate of 3.65% over the three month LIBOR rate, and reset quarterly. The rate was 3.9% at June 30, 2010. The debentures are the sole asset of BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust I. BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust I issued $12,500,000 of mandatory redeemable preferred securities to investors. BCSB Bancorp’s obligation under the debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by BCSB Bancorp of BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust I obligations under the preferred securities. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds that it retained from the 2008 completed stock offering to redeem $6.0 million of the $12.5 million in outstanding trust preferred securities issued by a trust wholly owned by the Company.
In September 2003, BCSB Bankcorp issued $10,310,000 of junior subordinated debentures to BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust II, a Delaware business trust, in which BCSB Bancorp now owns all of the common equity. The debentures carry a rate of 3.00% over the three month LIBOR rate, and reset quarterly. The rate was 3.30% at June 30, 2010. The debentures are the sole asset of BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust II. BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust II issued $10,000,000 of mandatory redeemable preferred securities to investors. BCSB Bancorp’s obligation under the debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by BCSB Bancorp of BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust II obligations under the preferred securities.
Pursuant to these trust preferred securities, the Company, must make quarterly interest payments, which totaled $892,000 during the year ended September 30, 2009 and $377,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
The Company has outstanding (i) 10,800 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, liquidation preference $1,000 per share (“Series A preferred stock”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase 183,465 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,800,000 in cash.
The Series A preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum until February 15, 2014. Beginning February 16, 2014, the dividend rate will increase to 9% per annum. The Company must remit dividends quarterly. Payments remitted totaled $405,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2010. On and after February 15, 2012, the Company may, at its option, redeem shares of Series A preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for cash at a per share amount equal to the sum of the liquidation preference per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to but excluding the redemption date. Under the original terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is prohibited from redeeming the Series A preferred stock within the first three years unless it completed a qualified equity offering whereby it received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $2.7 million. However, the provisions introduced by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2008 indicate that once the Company notifies Treasury that it would like to redeem the Series A preferred stock, the Treasury must permit the Company to do so subject to consultation with the OTS. The Company will be subject to existing supervisory procedures for approving redemption requests for capital instruments. The OTS will weigh the Company’s desire to redeem the Series A preferred stock against the contribution of Treasury capital to the Company’s overall soundness, capital adequacy and ability to lend, including confirming that the Company has a comprehensive internal capital assessment process.
The warrant is exercisable at $8.83 per share at any time on or before March 23, 2018. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant and the exercise price per share will be adjusted if specific events occur.
The Series A preferred stock and the warrants were issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Neither the Series A preferred stock nor the warrants will be subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer.
