(e) During the last five years, neither the Company nor any of the Insiders has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f) All of the Insiders are U.S. citizens.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Company was formed for the purpose of becoming the stock holding company of Malvern Federal Savings Bank, a federally chartered savings bank (the ABank@); and the MHC was formed for the purpose of becoming the mutual holding company parent of the Company. Pursuant to the Bank=s Plan of Reorganization from Mutual Savings Bank to Mutual Holding Company (the APlan of Reorganization@) and a related Plan of Stock Issuance (APlan of Stock Issuance@), on May 19, 2008, the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which became a majority owned subsidiary of the MHC (the AReorganization@). On May 19, 2008, 3,383,875 shares of Common Stock were issued to the MHC at no cost to the MHC. In addition, on May 19, 2008, certain Insiders purchased shares of Common Stock using their personal funds. All shares purchased by Insiders were purchased at a price of $10.00 per share.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The primary purpose of the transaction was to reorganize the Bank into the mutual holding company form of organization. The mutual holding company structure permitted the Company to sell capital stock, which is a source of capital not available to a mutual savings association. The transaction also gives the Bank and the Company greater flexibility to structure and finance the expansion of operations and to diversity into other financial services. Because the Company only issued a minority of the Common Stock for sale to the public in the Reorganization, the Bank=s ability to remain an independent savings association and to provide community-related financial services is expected to be preserved.


CUSIP No. 561410 10 1	13D	Page 5 of 7 Pages

While the MHC and Insiders intend to exercise their rights as stockholders, neither the MHC nor the Insiders currently has any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company or the disposition of securities of the Company; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Company's charter or bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized or quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
