The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the six and three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 is as follows: For the Six Months Ended March 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2004 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Income Shares Per Share Income Shares Per Share Basic EPS --------- $ 387,474 5,783,076 $ 0.07 $ 1,231,092 5,720,840 $ 0.22 Effect of dilutive shares -- 53,788 -- -- 37,954 -- --------- --------- ---------- ----------- --------- -------- Diluted EPS ----------- $ 387,474 5,836,864 $ 0.07 $ 1,231,092 5,758,794 $ 0.21 ========= ========= ========== =========== ========= ======== For the Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2004 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Income Shares Per Share Income Shares Per Share Basic EPS --------- $ 161,565 5,786,739 $ 0.03 $ 778,583 5,723,152 $ 0.14 Effect of dilutive shares -- 60,788 -- -- 42,168 -- --------- --------- ---------- ----------- --------- --------- Diluted EPS ----------- $ 161,565 5,847,527 $ 0.03 $ 778,583 5,765,320 $ 0.14 ========= ========= ========== =========== ========= ========= 9 BCSB BANKCORP, INC.

Note 6 - Stock Option Plan ----------------- Stock-Based Employee Compensation- At March 31, 2004 and 2003 the company has four stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in the 2003 Annual Report. The company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No compensation cost is reflected in income for the granted options as all granted options had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

This Interpretation provides guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust I ("BCSB I"), and BCSB Capital Trust II ("BCSB II") qualify as variable interest entities under FIN 46. BCSB I and BCSB II issued mandatorily redeemable preferred securities (Trust Preferred Securities) to third-party investors and loaned the proceeds to the Company. BCSB I and BCSB II hold, as there sole assets, subordinated debentures issued by the Company. FIN 46 required the Company to deconsolidate BCSB I and BCSB II from the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2004. There has been no restatement of prior periods for the adoption of FIN 46. The impact of this deconsolidation was to increase junior subordinated debentures by $23,197,000 and reduce trust preferred securities line item by $22,500,000 which had represented the trust preferred securities of the trust. The Company's equity interest in the trust subsidiary of $697,000, which had previously been eliminated in consolidation, is now reported in "Other assets" as of March 31, 2004. The deconsolidation had no effect on the bank's capital for regulatory reporting purposes. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations or liquidity. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The Company was formed by the Bank to become the holding company of the Bank following the Bank's reorganization to the mutual holding company form of organization (the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization was consummated on July 8, 1998. The Company's net income is dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on its loan, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities portfolio 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. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company's significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2003 which was filed on Form 10-K. Of these significant accounting policies, the Company considers its policy regarding the allowance for loan losses to be its most critical accounting policy, because it requires management's most subjective and complex judgments. In addition, changes in economic conditions can have a significant impact on the allowance for loan losses and therefore the provision for loan losses and results of operations. The Company has developed appropriate policies and procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, recognizing that this process requires a number of assumptions and estimates with respect to its loan portfolio. The Company's assessments may be impacted in future periods by changes in economic conditions, the impact of regulatory examinations, and the discovery of information with respect to borrowers that is not known to management at the time of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted the disclosure only provision of 11 FASB 123 see note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. They do not expect to expense the fair market value of stock options until required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS When used in this 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, and competition that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. 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. COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 2004 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 During the six months ended March 31, 2004, the Company's assets increased by $62.6 million, or 9.4% from $668.2 million at September 30, 2003 to $730.8 million at March 31, 2004. Loans receivable, net decreased by $5.0 million, or 1.4%, from $365.0 million at September 30, 2003 to $360.0 million at March 31, 2004. The Company's mortgage-backed securities available for sale increased by $26.0 million, or 22.4%, from $116.2 million at September 30, 2003 to $142.2 million at March 31, 2004. The Company's mortgage-backed securities held to maturity increased by $1.5 million or 8.2% from $18.4 million at September 30, 2003 to $19.9 million at March 31, 2004. The Company's investment portfolio available for sale increased $34.9 million or 28.7%, from $121.3 million at September 30, 2003 to $156.1 million at March 31, 2004. The Company's investment portfolio held to maturity increased by $1.0 million or 39.9% from $2.5 million at September 30, 2003 to $3.5 million at March 31, 2004. During the six months ended March 31, 2004 the Company purchased $11.5 million of bank owned life insurance. The preceeding was accomplished in an effort to reduce interest rate risk in the balance sheet. Management was reluctant to make long term low rate loans in the low interest rate environment that prevailed during the six month period ended March 31, 2004. Emphasis has been placed on short term loans such as automobile loans, home equity loans and short term mortgages. The Company's deposits increased by $25.7 million, or 4.7%, from $551.9 million at September 30, 2003 to $577.6 million at March 31, 2004. The increase in deposits was achieved through normal marketing efforts. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta increased by $16.4 million, or 51.0% from $32.3 million at March 31, 2003 to $48.7 million at March 31, 2004. The funds were used to purchase securities. Accounts Payable Trade Date Securities increased by $16.9 million or 121.0% from $13.9 million at March 31, 2003 to $30.9 million at March 31, 2004. Trade Date Securities are commitments to settle security purchases in the near future. COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 AND 2003 Net Income. Net income decreased by $844,000, or 68.5%, from $1.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $387,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to decreased net interest income of $1.5 million. This was partially offset by decreases in the provision for loan losses and income taxes and an increase in other income due to the Bank Owned Life Insurance. Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $7.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $9.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003, representing a decrease of $1.5 million, or 16.4%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the average rate on interest earning-assets. The average rate on interest-earning assets decreased by 100 basis points from 6.08% for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to 5.08% for the six months 12 ended March 31, 2004. Due to declining interest rates and loans re-pricing faster than deposits the interest rate spread decreased 56 basis points from 3.10% for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to 2.54% for the six months ended March 31, 2004. Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $1.9 million, or 10.8% from $17.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $15.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004. Interest and fees on loans decreased by $2.8 million, or 20.1%, from $13.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $11.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004. This was primarily due to a decrease in the average yield on loans of 95 basis points from 7.12% at March 31, 2003 to 6.17% at March 31, 2004, and a $31.9 million decrease in the average balance of loans receivable from $390.7 million at March 31, 2003 to $358.8 million at March 31, 2004. The decrease in the average balance of loans was primarily attributable to increased competition in the refinancing market, current economic conditions and management's reluctance to make long term low rate loans in the low interest rate environment that prevailed during the period. The decrease in the average yield was attributed to the prevailing market rates in the economy. Interest on mortgage-backed securities increased by $406,000 or 19.7% from $2.0 million for the six months ended March 31,2003 to $2.5 million for the six months ended March 31,2004. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities from $92.2 million at March 31, 2003 to $121.4 million at March 31,2004. Interest and dividends on investment securities increased by $694,000 or 58.9% from $1.2 million for the six months ended March 31 ,2003 to $1.9 million for the six months ended March 31,2004. This was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of investments of $57.7 million, or 89.6% from $62.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $120.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in the average balance more than offset a decrease in the average yield on investments from 3.78% for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to 3.12% for the six months ended March 31, 2004. Interest Expense. Interest expense, which consists of interest on deposits, interest on borrowed money and other interest expense decreased from $8.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $7.8 million for the six months ended March 31,2004 a change of $375,000 or 4.6%. Interest on deposits decreased $541,000 due to a decrease in the average yield on deposits of 43 basis points from 2.82% for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to 2.39% for the six months ended March 31, 2004. This was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits of $47.0 million, or 9.2% from $513.4 million at March 31, 2003 to $560.4 million at March 31, 2004. The Company was able to increase its deposits through normal marketing efforts. Interest on short-term borrowings decreased by $38,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and interest on long-term borrowings increased by $15,000. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $8.3 million in the average balances of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta during the six months ended March 31,2004. Also contributing to interest expense was interest on the Trust Preferred Securities which was $529,000 for the six month period ending March 31, 2004. 13 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 average 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 six month periods ended March 31, 2004, and March 31, 2003. 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 its net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets.

The Company charges provisions for loan losses to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level management considers adequate to provide for probable loan losses. In determining the provision, management considers prior loss experience, current economic conditions and the probability of these conditions affecting future loan performance. The Company established provisions for losses on loans of $267,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $412,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2003, representing a decrease of $145,000. This decrease was partially attributable to the decrease in the average balance of loans of $31.9 million, or 8.2% from $390.8 million to $358.8 million. Loan chargeoffs for the six months ended March 31, 2004 were $682,000 as compared to $616,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 an increase of $66,000 Loan charge offs increased due to adverse economic conditions. Loan recoveries were $156,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $157,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2003. Non performing loans at March 31, 2004 were $1.0 million as compared to $750,000 at March 31, 2003. The total loss allowance allocated to domestic loans is $2.4 million. In establishing such provisions, management considered an analysis of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. Other Income. Other income increased by $22,000, or 2.3% from $952,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $974,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in other income for the six months ended March 31, 2004 was primarily attributable to an increase in income from the Bank Owned Life Insurance of $243,000 from $0 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $243,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004. Fees on transaction accounts also increased by $150,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004, due to an increase in the volume of transaction accounts. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in gains on the sale of loans of $229,000, from $42,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $271,000 for the six months ended 15 March 31, 2003. There was also a decrease in the gain on the sale of Mortgaged Backed Securities of $146,000, from $154,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $8,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004. Gain on the sale of investments also decreased $17,000, from $25,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $8,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004. Non-interest Expenses. Total non-interest expenses increased by $202,000, or 2.6%, from $7.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $7.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in non-interest expenses was due to increases in salaries and related expenses of $200,000, or 4.9%. Occupancy expense also increased by $182,000, from $785,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $967,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004. Advertising expense also increased by $60,000 or 14.3%, from $421,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $481,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004. These increases were partially offset by decreases in data processing expenses, property plant and equipment expense and professional fees. Data processing expense decreased by $47,000 or 5.8% from $804,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $757,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004. Property plant and equipment expense decreased by $33,000, or 5.2% from $633,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $600,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004. Professional fees decreased by $18,000 or 13.2% from $137,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 to $119,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004. Income Taxes. The Company's income tax expense was $76,000 and $759,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company's effective tax rates were 16.5% and 38.1% for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the Bank's earning non -taxable income from the Bank Owned Life Insurance. 16 COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 AND 2003 Net Income. Net income decreased by $617,000, or 79.2%, from $779,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $162,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to decreased net interest income of $862,000. This was partially offset by a decrease in the provision for loan losses and income taxes and an increase in other income due to the Bank Owned Life Insurance. Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, representing a decrease of $862,000, or 18.7%. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the average rate on interest earning-assets. The average rate on interest-earning assets decreased by 112 basis points from, 6.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to 4.89% for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Due to declining interest rates and loans re-pricing faster than deposits, the interest rate spread decreased 75 basis points from, 3.13% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 to 2.38% for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $994,000, or 11.5% from $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Interest and fees on loans decreased by $1.5 million, or 21.7%, from $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This was primarily due to a decrease in the average yield on loans of 101 basis points from 7.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to 6.08% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, and a $33.7 million decrease in the average balance of loans receivable from $389.7 million at March 31, 2003 to $356.1 million at March 31, 2004. The decrease in the average balance of loans was primarily attributable to increased competition in the refinancing market, current economic conditions and the management's reluctance to make long term low rate loans in the low interest rate environment that prevailed during the period. The decrease in the average yield was attributed to the prevailing market rates in the economy. Interest on mortgage-backed securities increased by $260,000 or 25.8% from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities from $91.6 million at March 31, 2003 to $134.7 million at March 31, 2004. Interest and dividends on investment securities increased by $278,000 or 42.8% from $650,000 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $928,000 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of investments of $48.2 million from, $68.5 million at March 31, 2003 to $116.7 million at March 31, 2004. The increase in the average balance more than offset a decrease of 72 basis points in the average yield on investments from, 3.80 % for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to 3.08% for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Interest Expense. Interest expense, which consists of interest on deposits, interest on borrowed money and other interest expense decreased from $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 a change of $133,000 or 3.3%. Interest on deposits decreased $237,000 due to a decrease in the average yield on deposits of 38 basis points from 2.73% at March 31, 2003 to 2.35% at March 31, 2004. This was partially offset by an increase in the average volume of deposits of $43.1 million from $522.5 million at March 31, 2003 to $565.6 million at March 31, 2004. The Company was able to increase its deposits through normal marketing efforts. Interest on short-term borrowings decreased by $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, and interest on long-term borrowings increased by $29,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in interest on long-term borrowings was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of long-term borrowings of $8.0 million, or 31.3%. This decrease in interest on short-term borrowings was primarily due to a decrease of 113 basis points in the average yield paid on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta during the three months ended March 31, 2004. Also contributing to interest expense was interest on the Junior Subordinated Debenture/Trust Preferred Securities which was $261,000 for the three month period ending March 31, 2004, compared to $162,000 for the three month period ending March 31, 2003. 17 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 average 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 March 31, 2004 and 2003. 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 its net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets.

The Company charges provisions for loan losses to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level management considers adequate to provide for probable loan losses. In determining the provision, management considers a number of factors such as existing loan levels, prior loss experience, current economic conditions and the probability of these conditions affecting future loan performance. The Company established provisions for losses on loans of $86,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $130,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, representing a decrease of $44,000. The decrease was partially attributable to the decrease in the average balance of loans of $33.7 million or 8.6% from $389.7 million at March 31, 2003 to $356.0 million at March 31, 2003. Loan chargeoffs for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were $353,000 as compared to $373,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 a decrease of $20,000. Loan chargeoffs decreased due to improving economic conditions. Loan recoveries were $130,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $54,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Non performing loans at March 31, 2004 were $1.0 million as compared to $750,000 at March 31, 2003. The total loss allowance allocated to domestic loans is $2.4 million. In establishing such provisions, management considered an analysis of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. For additional information see Asset Quality. Other Income. Other income decreased by $78,000, or 14.8% from $526,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $448,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in other income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was primarily attributable to a decrease of $187,000 in the gain on sale of loans from $204,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This was partially offset by an increase in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance of $121,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. There was also a gain on the sale of repossessed assets of $2,000 for the three months ended 19 March 31, 2004 compared to $0, for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Fees on transaction accounts also increased $68,000 from $117,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $185,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Fees on transaction accounts increased due to the increase in the volume of transaction accounts. There was also an increase in the gain on the sale of investments of $20,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. These gains were partially offset by a decrease in gain on the sale of mortgage backed securities of $84,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $84,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. These securities were sold in an effort to mitigate interest rate risk. Non-interest Expenses. Total non-interest expenses increased by $179,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The Company experienced increases of $161,000 in salaries and related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2004, from $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Occupancy expense also increased by $90,000, from $390,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $480,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in data processing expense of $23,000, from $393,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $370,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Other expenses also decreased by $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, from $189,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $153,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Income Taxes. The Company's income tax expense was $23,000 and $480,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company's effective tax rates were 12.3% and 38.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the Bank's earning non-taxable income from the Bank Owned Life Insurance. 20 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: March 31, 2004 September 30, 2003 -------------- ------------------ (dollars in thousands) Commitments to originate new loans $ 19,080 $ 10,600 Commitments to originate new loans held for sale -- -- Unfunded commitments to extend credit under existing equity line and commercial lines of credit 19,918 20,400 Commercial letters of credit 419 419 Commitments to sell loans held for sale -- -- The Company does not have any unconsolidated special purpose entities or other similar forms of off-balance sheet financing arrangements. 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. Commitments to sell loans held for sale are agreements to sell loans to a third party at an agreed upon price.

At September 30, 2003, non-performing assets were $583 000 or .04% of total assets. The Bank's net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were $353,000. The Bank's allowance for loan losses was $2.4 million at March 31, 2004 and $2.7 million at September 30, 2003. The following table presents an analysis of the Company's non-performing assets: At At March 31, September 30, 2004 2003 ---- ---- Nonperforming loans: Nonaccrual loans $ 1,045 $ 300 Loans 90 days past due and accruing -- -- Restructured loans -- -- --------- ------- Total nonperforming loans 1,045 300 Other non-performing assets 184 283 --------- ------- Total nonperforming assets $ 1,229 $ 583 ========= ======= Nonperforming loans to loans receivable, net .29% .08% Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and other real estate owned .34% .08% Nonperforming assets to total assets .16% .04% 22 The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank's allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful and loss. The Company regularly reviews its assets to determine whether any assets require classification or re-classification. At March 31, 2004, the Company had $1.2 million in classified assets, consisting of $1.0 million in substandard and loss loans, and $ 184,000 in other repossessed assets. At September 30, 2003, the Company had $583,000 in substandard assets, consisting of $300,000 in loans, and $283,000 in other repossessed assets. In addition to regulatory classifications, the Company also classifies as "special mention" assets that are currently performing in accordance with their contractual terms but may become classified or non-performing assets in the future. At March 31, 2004, the Company has identified approximately $1.9 million in assets classified as special mention. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At March 31, 2004, 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 5 of 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 23 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 six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had $28.8 million and $27.8 million, respectively, of loan originations. During the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company purchased investment securities in the amounts of $65.8 million and $86.6 million, respectively, and mortgage-backed securities in the amounts of $41.5 million and $44.4 million, respectively. 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 addition, the Company maintains a portion of its investments in interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions that will be available, if needed. The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by OTS regulations. This requirement, which may be changed at the direction of the OTS depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. The Bank's average daily liquidity ratio for the month of March was approximately 44.9%, which exceeded the required level for such period. 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 three months 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 March 31, 2004, cash, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold were $12.1 million, $3.8.million and $193,000, respectively. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current commitments. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature in less than one year at March 31, 2004 totaled $194.7 million. Based on past experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank. The 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 the Company has in this class of financial instruments and represents the Company's exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party. The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance-sheet credit risk. At March 31, 2004, the Company had commitments under standby letters of credit and lines of credit and commitments to originate mortgage loans of $419,000, $19.9 million and $19.1 million respectively. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk is the possible chance of loss from unfavorable changes in market prices and rates. These changes may result in a reduction of current and future period net interest income, which is the favorable spread earned from the excess of interest income on interest-earning assets over interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The Company considers interest rate risk to be its most significant market risk, which could potentially have the greatest impact on operating earnings. The structure of the Company's loan and deposit portfolios is such that a significant change in interest rates may adversely impact net market values and net interest income. The Company monitors whether material changes in market risk have occurred since September 30, 2003. The Company does not believe that any material adverse changes in market risk exposures occurred since September 30, 2003. 24 ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. It should be noted that the design of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain reasonable assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no reasonable assurance that any design of disclosure controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote, but the Company's principal executive and financial officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at a reasonable assurance level. In addition, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (to the extent that elements of internal control over financial reporting are subsumed within disclosure controls and procedures) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the above paragraph that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 25 PART II.
