Item 5.03   Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in
            ------------------------------------------------------------
            Fiscal Year.
            ------------

      (a) On March 4, 2008, the Board of Directors of BCSB Bankcorp, Inc. ("the
Company") amended Article II Section 2 of the Company's Bylaws to delay the
Company's annual meeting for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 to a date
within 185 days from the end of the fiscal year. The Company's Bylaws, as
amended, are filed as Exhibit 3.2 hereto. On February 6, 2008, the Company had
voted to amend its bylaws to delay the Company's annual meeting for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2007 to a date within 270 days from the end of the
fiscal year. Based on conversations with Office of Thrift Supervision staff, the
Company's Board of Directors on March 4, 2008 voted to amend the Company's
bylaws to reduce the 270 day period to 185 days to provide exactly, and no more
than, the period of time needed to convene the 2008 annual meeting of
stockholders scheduled for April 2, 2008.
