N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within

order to report the information required of the Oritani Savings Bank Employees'
Savings & Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the "Plan"). The Plan is unable to
timely file its Form 11-K because the audit of the financial statements is still
in process. In order to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in the
Form 11-K, the Plan believes it is necessary to obtain an extension of the
filing date.
