ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
- --------------------------------------------------

     On May 12, 2004,  BCSB  Bankcorp,  Inc. (the  "Company")  announced that it
would  shortly be filing an amendment to its  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter  ended  December 31, 2003 to restate its  consolidated  statement of
financial  condition as of December 31, 2003 and its consolidated  statements of
operations  for  the  three  months  ended  December  31,  2003 to  correct  the
accounting treatment for a Bank Owned Life Insurance ("BOLI") policy. Subsequent
to the issuance of the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for
the three months ended December 31, 2003 and the filing of its Quarterly  Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter  ended  December 31, 2003,  the Company  determined
that it had  incorrectly  accounted for its income tax provision  related to the
BOLI policy. The effect of the restatement is to reduce the Company's income tax
provision to $53,708 for the three  months ended  December 31, 2003 from $91,560
previously reported,  thereby increasing net income from $188,057, or $.03 basic
and diluted earnings per share, to $225,909,  or $.04 basic and diluted earnings
per  share.  Total  stockholders'  equity at  December  31,  2003  increases  to
$44,309,111 from $44,271,259  previously reported.
