COLONIAL FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.   Organization and Basis of Presentation

Colonial Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, was formed in March 2010, to serve as the stock holding company for Colonial Bank, FSB (the “Bank”) as part of the mutual-to-stock conversion of Colonial Bankshares, MHC.  On July 13, 2010, Colonial Financial Services, Inc. completed its second-step conversion and related public stock offering.  Colonial Bank FSB is now 100% owned by Colonial Financial Services, Inc. and Colonial Financial Services, Inc. is 100% owned by public stockholders.  Colonial Financial Services, Inc. sold a total of 2,295,000 shares of common stock in the subscription, community and syndicated community offerings, including 91,800 shares to the Colonial Bank FSB employee stock ownership plan.  All shares were sold at a purchase price of $10.00 per share.  Concurrent with the completion of the offering, shares of common stock of Colonial Bankshares, Inc., a federal corporation, owned by public stockholders were converted into the right to receive 0.9399 shares of Colonial Financial Services, Inc. common stock.  Cash in lieu of fractional shares was paid at a rate of $10.00 per share.  As a result of the offering and the exchange, Colonial Financial Services, Inc. issued 4,173,444 shares of stock.

Colonial Bankshares, Inc. was the former mid-tier holding company for the Bank and was organized in conjunction with the Bank’s reorganization from the mutual savings bank to the mutual holding company structure in January 2003.  Colonial Bankshares, MHC, was the federally chartered mutual holding company parent of Colonial Bankshares, Inc. and originally owned 54% of Colonial Bankshares, Inc.’s outstanding stock.

The same directors and officers who manage Colonial Bank, FSB manage Colonial Financial Services, Inc.  The Company, as a holding company, is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  The Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).

The Bank is a federally chartered capital stock savings bank.  The Bank maintains its executive office and main branch in Vineland, New Jersey with branches in Bridgeton, Mantua, Millville, Upper Deerfield, Vineland, Sewell and Cedarville, New Jersey.  The Bank’s principal business consists of attracting customer deposits and investing these deposits primarily in single-family residential, commercial and consumer loans and investments.

The Bank has established a Delaware corporation, CB Delaware Investments, Inc. whose purpose is to invest in and manage securities and a New Jersey corporation, Cohansey Bridge, LLC (collectively, the “Operating Subsidiaries”).

7

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the Operating Subsidiaries.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) as set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).  The unaudited information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.  They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 (unaudited) are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.  The balance sheet at December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, our ability to realize deferred tax assets and measurements of fair value.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q through the date these financial statements were issued.

2.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U. S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”)”.  The amendments in this update apply to all reporting entities that are required or permitted to measure or disclose the fair value of an asset, a liability, or an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity in the financial statements.  The amendments in this update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U. S. GAAP and IFRSs.  Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U. S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  For many of the requirements, FASB does not intend for the amendments in this update to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820.  Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements.  Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this FASB ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”.  The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  The amendments do not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented.  The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods with those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this FASB ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 which defer those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments.  The amendments are being made to allow the Board time to redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented.  While the Board is considering the operational concerns about the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments and the needs of financial statement users for additional information about reclassification adjustment, entities should continue to report reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05.  All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by this update.  The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal year, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this FASB ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3.   Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share (“EPS”) consists of two separate components, basic EPS and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period presented.  Diluted EPS is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus dilutive common stock equivalents (“CSEs”).  CSEs consist of shares that are assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of stock options, as well as unvested common stock awards.  CSEs which are considered antidilutive are not included for the purposes of this calculation. There are no convertible securities which would affect the net income (numerator) in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, for these calculations, the net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is $248,000 and $815,000, respectively.  The dilutive effect of potential common shares is computed using the treasury stock method.  The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation.  At March 31, 2012 and 2011, there were 473,230 and 194,612 anti-dilutive options and awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option price was greater than the average market price or the shares have not vested yet.

4.   Stock-Based Compensation

At March 31, 2012, the Company has two share-based compensation plans under which grants have been made, the 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) and the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”).  Under the 2006 Plan, the total number of shares that could be granted as awards was 83,300 and the total amount of shares that could be granted as options was 208,247.  Under the 2011 Plan, the total number of shares that could be granted as awards was 91,800 and the total amount of shares that could be granted as options was 229,500.

On October 19, 2006, for the 2006 Plan, 83,300 shares of restricted stock were awarded.  The restricted shares awarded had a grant date fair value of $13.27 per share.  The restricted stock awarded was fully vested as of October 19, 2011 and the total expense and related tax effect has been fully recorded.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, $43,000 in compensation expense was recognized in regard to these restricted stock awards with a related tax benefit of $15,000.  As of March 31, 2011, there was $134,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards which was recognized over a period of 0.50 years.

10

On January 20, 2011, for the 2006 Plan, 3,268 shares of restricted stock were awarded.  The restricted shares awarded had a grant date fair value of $12.00 per share.  The restricted stock awarded vests 33% annually beginning January 20, 2012.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, $3,000 in compensation expense was recognized in regard to the stock awards given in January 2011 with a related tax benefit of $1,000.  As of March 31, 2012, there was $23,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards which is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.75 years.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, $3,000 in compensation expense was recognized in regard to the stock awards given in 2011 with a related tax benefit of $1,000.

On January 2, 2012, for the 2011 Plan, 91,790 shares of restricted stock were awarded.  The restricted shares awarded had a grant date fair value of $12.46 and vests 20% annually beginning January 2, 2013.  The restricted stock that was awarded was split evenly as service-based awards and performance-based awards.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, $57,000 in compensation expense was recognized with a related tax benefit of $19,000.  As of March 31, 2012, there was $1.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards which is expected to be recognized over a period of 4.75 years.

A summary of the status of the shares under the two Plans as of March 31, 2012 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2012 are presented below.

Award Shares	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Restricted, beginning of period		3,268	$	12.00
Granted		91,790		12.46
Forfeitures		-		-
Vested		1,088		12.00
Restricted stock, end of period		93,970	$	12.45

On October 19, 2006, for the 2006 Plan, options to purchase 184,660 shares of common stock at $13.27 per share were awarded.  The options awarded fully vested in October 2011 and expire in 2016.  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for options granted in 2006:  dividend yield of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 4.79%, expected life of 6.5 years, and expected volatility of 15.00%.  The calculated fair value of options granted in 2006 was $4.03 per option.  The weighted average contractual term of options outstanding and exercisable was 4.50 years at March 31, 2012 and 5.50 years at March 31, 2011.  The total expense and related tax effect has been fully recorded for these options.

On January 20, 2011, for the 2006 Plan, options to purchase 8,328 shares of common stock at $12.00 per share were awarded.  The options awarded vest 33% annually beginning January 20, 2012 and expire in 2021.  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for options granted in 2011:  dividend yield of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 3.47%, expected life of 6.5 years, and expected volatility of 33.00%.  The calculated fair value of options granted in 2011 was $4.84 per option.  The weighted average contractual term of options outstanding and exercisable was 8.75 years at March 31, 2012.  Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted in 2011 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $3,000 with a related tax benefit of $1,000.  As of March 31, 2012, there was approximately $24,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted in 2011.  The cost will be recognized in a straight line method over a period of 1.75 years.  Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options awarded in 2011 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was $3,000 with a related tax benefit of $1,000.

On January 2, 2012, for the 2011 Plan, options to purchase 194,600 shares of common stock at $12.46 were awarded.  The options awarded vest 20% annually beginning January 20, 2013 and expire in 2022.  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for options granted in 2012:  dividend yield of 0%, risk-free interest rate of 2.22%, expected life of 6.5 years, and expected volatility of 32.00%.  The calculated fair value of options granted in 2012 was $4.53 per option.  The weighted average contractual term of options outstanding and exercisable was 9.75 years at March 31, 2012.  Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted in 2012 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $45,000 with a related tax benefit of $15,000.  As of March 31, 2012, there was approximately $836,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted in 2012.  The cost will be recognized in a straight line method over a period of 4.75 years.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock options under the two plans as of March 31, 2012 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2012 are presented below.

In 2005, the Bank established a leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for substantially all of its full-time employees.  The ESOP trust initially purchased 156,399 shares (as adjusted for the exchange ratio as part of the July 2010 second-step conversion) of common stock.  The Bank will make cash contributions to the ESOP on an annual basis sufficient to enable the ESOP to make the required loan payments to the Company.  The loan bears an interest rate of 6.00% with principal and interest payable annually in equal installments over 15 years.  The loan is secured by the shares of the common stock purchased.

12

In July 2010, the ESOP acquired an additional 91,800 shares of the Company’s common stock with a loan from the Company in the amount of $918,000, at a price of $10.00 per share.  The Bank will make cash contributions to the ESOP on an annual basis sufficient to enable the ESOP to make the required loan payments to the Company.  The loan bears an interest rate of 3.25% with principal and interest payable annually in equal installments over 10 years.  The loan is secured by the shares of the common stock purchased.

As the debt is repaid, shares are released from the collateral and allocated to qualified employees.  Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.  As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations.  The compensation expense is recorded on a monthly basis.  The Company’s contribution expense for the ESOP was $62,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

The following table presents the components of the ESOP shares:

	March 31, 2012		March 31, 2011
Shares released for allocation		94,699		74,614
Unreleased shares		153,500		173,585
Total ESOP shares		248,199		248,199

5.   Contingent Liabilities and Guarantees

In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit that are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.  No material losses are anticipated as a result of those transactions on either a completed or uncompleted basis.

The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit.  Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  The Company generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting those commitments.  The Company had $2.1 million of standby letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2012.  Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payment required under the corresponding guarantees.

13

In October 2009, the Bank entered into an agreement to sponsor a not-for-profit corporation for a Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”) Grant in the amount of $275,000.  If the non-for-profit corporation does not comply with terms of the agreement, the Bank may be required to repay the grant to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.  The term of the recapture agreement is 15 years.  The Bank expects the not-for-profit corporation to adhere to all requirements of the grant and does not expect to be required to repay any of the AHP grant.

At March 31, 2012, there were 31 securities in the less-than-twelve-month category and five securities in the twelve-month-or-more category for the available-for-sale portfolio.  Included in the 31 securities in the less-than-twelve-month position for the available-for-sale category are 22 U. S. government obligations, four corporate debt obligations, three municipal debt obligations, one mortgage-backed security and one collateralized mortgage obligation.  Included in the five securities in the twelve-month-or-more position for the available-for-sale category are one corporate debt security, two SBA pools and two mortgage-backed securities.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no held to maturity investments in an unrealized loss position.

The Company’s investment in U. S. Government agency securities and SBA loan pools consist of debt obligations of government sponsored enterprises and pools of loans from the Small Business Administration.  All principal and interest payments are current in regards to the investments.  The contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by an agency of the United States government.  The change in market value is attributable to current interest rate levels relative to the Company’s cost and not credit quality.  As the change in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not underlying credit deterioration, and because the Company does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery occurs, the Company does not consider the investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.

16

The Company’s investment in corporate bonds consists of debt obligations of corporations mostly in the financial, insurance and drug sectors of the economy.  All interest payments are current in regards to all the corporate investments.  The Company does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery occurs and because the corporate bonds are still rated investment grade by one of the rating companies, Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s, the Company does not consider the other corporate investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.

The Company’s investment in municipal bonds consist of general obligations and revenue obligations of municipalities in the United States and bond anticipation notes of entities located in New Jersey.  The change in market value is attributable to the changes in interest rates relative to the Company’s cost and because the Company does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery occurs, the Company does not consider the investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.

The Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations consists of government sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) securities.  The change in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and widening credit spreads, and not due to underlying credit deterioration.  The contractual cash flows for the investments are performing as expected.  As the change in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and credit spread and not underlying credit deterioration, and because the Company does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery occurs, the Company does not consider the investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.

17

Our loans are originated and administered through our loan policies.  We originate one- to four-family residential real estate loans, multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, commercial business loans and consumer loans.  Our one- to four-family residential loans also include loans to businesses for a commercial purpose which are secured by liens on the borrower’s residence.  We offer fixed-rate, adjustable-rate and balloon loans that amortize with monthly loan payments.

We have not originated or purchased any sub-prime or Alt-A loans.  We have not originated or purchased payment-option ARMs or negative amortizing loans.

While we originate both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans, our ability to generate each type of loan depends upon borrower demand, market interest rates, borrower preference for fixed- versus adjustable-rate loans, and the interest rates offered on each type of loan by other lenders competing in our market area.  Loan originations are derived from a number of sources, including branch office personnel, existing customers, borrowers, builders, attorneys, accountants and other professionals, real estate broker referrals and walk-in customers.

Our loan origination activity may be adversely affected by a rising interest rate environment that typically results in decreased loan demand, while declining interest rates may stimulate increased loan demand. Accordingly, the volume of loan originations, the mix of fixed and adjustable-rate loans, and the profitability of this activity can vary from period to period.  One- to four-family residential mortgage loans are generally underwritten to current Fannie Mae seller/servicer guidelines, and are closed on documents that conform to Fannie Mae guidelines.

Our board of directors grants lending authority to our Management Loan Committee and to individual executive officers and loan officers.  Our lending activities are subject to written policies established by the board of directors.  These policies are reviewed periodically.  The Management Loan Committee may approve loans in accordance with applicable loan policies, including our policy governing loans to one borrower.  This policy limits the aggregate dollar amount of credit that may be extended to any one borrower and related entities.  The Management Loan Committee may approve secured loans in amounts up to $300,000, and unsecured loans in amounts up to $100,000.

When a loan is more than 10 days delinquent, we generally contact the borrower by telephone to determine the reason for delinquency and arrange for payment, and accounts are monitored electronically for receipt of payments.  We also send a computer-generated late notice on the tenth day after the payment due date on a commercial loan (the 15th day for a consumer or residential loan), which requests the payment due plus any late charge that is assessed.  If payments are not received within 30 days of the original due date, a letter demanding payment of all arrearages is sent and contact efforts are continued.  If payment is not received within 60 days of the due date, we accelerate loans and demand payment in full.  Failure to pay within 90 days of the original due date may result in legal action, notwithstanding ongoing collection efforts. Unsecured consumer loans are charged-off between 90 to 120 days.  For commercial loans, procedures with respect to demand letters and legal action may vary depending upon individual circumstances.

18

Loans are reviewed on a regular basis, and are placed on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due.  In addition, we place loans on nonaccrual status when we believe that there is sufficient reason to question the borrower’s ability to continue to meet contractual principal or interest payment obligations.  Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income.  Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are not recognized as income unless warranted based on the borrower’s financial condition and payment record.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  We evaluate the adequacy of the allowances for loan losses on a quarterly basis.  When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings.  The Company’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of a 1) a general valuation allowance on homogeneous credits in the loan portfolio; 2) a valuation allowance of loans reviewed for impairment and 3) an unallocated component.  Although we determine the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance for loan losses is available to absorb losses in the loan portfolio.  We periodically evaluate the carrying value of loans and the factors used in our evaluation of our allowance for loan losses.  While we use the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations or if we adjust the factors we use in our methodology.  This may reduce our net income by increasing our provision for loan losses.

A loan is considered to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amount due according to the contractual terms of the loan.  An insignificant delay or shortfall in the amount of payments does not necessarily result in the loan being identified as impaired.  For this purpose, delays less than 90 days are generally considered to be insignificant.

Our policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss assets. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, questionable.  Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted.  Assets that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve our close attention, are required to be designated as special mention.  Loans classified as watch exhibit some of the following risk traits, such as have policy exceptions, documentation concerns, lack of financial statements or declining financial ratios, or pay slowly but never delinquent more than 30 days; however at the time of the classification no loss is expected.

Loans are reviewed on a regular basis, and generally are placed on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due or if we believe that there is sufficient reason to question the borrower’s ability to continue to meet contractual principal or interest payment obligations.  We currently obtain updated appraisals and title searches on all collateral-dependent loans secured by real estate that are 90 days or more past due and placed on non-accrual status.

10. Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC Topic 820 are as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 29

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:

	March 31, 2012		(Level 1) Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		(Level 2) Significant Observable Other Inputs		(Level 3) Significant Unobservable Inputs

Real estate owned	$	276	$	-	$	-	$	276

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value at March 31, 2012:

	Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
Description	Fair Value Estimate		Valuation Techniques	Unobservable Input	Range
	(In thousands)
Impaired loans	$	9,096	Appraisal of collateral (1)	Liquidation expenses (2)	10.0% to 25.0%
Real estate owned	$	276	Appraisal of collateral (1)	Liquidation expenses (2)	10.0% to 25.0%

(1) Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include level 3 inputs which are not identifiable.

(2) Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as estimated liquidation expenses. The range of liquidation expenses is presented as a percent of the appraisal.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of certain Company assets and liabilities at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Cash and Amounts Due From Banks (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and amounts due from banks approximate those assets’ fair values (Level 1).

Investment Securities

The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

 31

Loans Receivable (Carried at Cost)

The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans.  Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal.  Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values (Level 3).

Impaired Loans (Generally Carried at Fair Value)

Impaired loans are those in which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral.  Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds.  These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.  Of the $24.1 million of impaired loans at March 31, 2012, $11.9 million were carried at fair value as a result of partial charge-offs of $2.8 million and specific valuation allowances of $78 thousand.

Real Estate Owned (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value)

Real estate owned assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned.  Subsequently, real estate owned assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated selling costs.  Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral, or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral.  These assets are included as Level 3 fair values.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amount of restricted investment in Company stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities (Level 1).

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value (Level 1).

Deposit Liabilities (Carried at Cost)

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts)(Level 2).  Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits (Level 2).

Long-Term Borrowings (Carried at Cost)

Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity.  These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party (Level 2).

 32

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments (Disclosed at Cost)

Fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.  The fair value of commitments is not material.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:

	March 31, 2012

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about anticipated operating and financial performance, such as loan originations, operating efficiencies, loan sales, charge-offs and loan loss provision, growth opportunities, interest rates and deposit growth.  Words such as “may,“ “could,“ “should,“ “would,“ “will,“ “will likely result,“ “believe,“ “expect,“ “plan,“ “will continue,“ “is anticipated,“ “estimate,“ “intend,“ “project,“ and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements.  We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only as of the date made.  Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings than those presently anticipated or projected.

Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.  Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, national and regional economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U. S. Government, including policies of the U. S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of our loan or investment portfolios, demand for our loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in our market area, changes in real estate values in our area, and changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines.  Additional factors that could affect our results may be discussed in our Form 10-K under Part I, Item 1A-“Risk Factors“ in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions by management and that have, or could have, a material impact on our income or the carrying value of our assets. Our critical accounting policies are those related to our allowance for loan losses, the evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment of investments securities, the valuation of and our ability to realize deferred tax assets and the measurement of fair value.

           Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining an allowance sufficient to absorb estimated probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors. However, this evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires an estimate of the loss for each risk rating and for each impaired loan, an estimate of the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, and an estimate of the value of collateral.

We have established a systematic method of periodically reviewing the credit quality of the loan portfolio in order to establish the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is based on our current judgments about the credit quality of individual loans and segments of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on our evaluation of the losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and considers all known internal and external factors that affect loan collectability as of the reporting date.

35

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific, general and unallocated components. Specific allocations are made for loans that are determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses.

The allowance for losses on loans is determined by segregating the loans by loan category and assigning allowance percentages based on our historical loss experience, delinquency trends and management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio.  The allowance is adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.  These significant factors may include changes in our lending policies and procedures, changes in current general economic conditions and business conditions affecting our primary lending areas, credit quality trends, collateral values, loans volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, loss experience, and duration of the current business cycle.  The applied loss factors are re-evaluated each reporting period to ensure their relevance in the current economic environment.

The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.  Future provisions for loan losses may include an unallocated component as we re-evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to changes in economic conditions in our market area, declines in local property values and concentrations of risk.  Included in our estimate and evaluation is an analysis of our mortgage loans, both current and delinquent, that may have private mortgage insurance.  With the recent downgrades of insurance companies, this is another factor management will review as it assesses its allowance for loan losses.

Management believes this is a critical accounting policy because this evaluation involves a high degree of complexity and requires us to make subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about various matters. Historically, we believe our estimates and assumptions have proven to be relatively accurate.  Nevertheless, because a small number of non-performing loans could result in net charge-offs significantly in excess of the estimated losses inherent in our loan portfolio, additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings for future periods.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment.  Investment securities are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis, to determine whether a decline in their value is other-than-temporary.  In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) whether or not we intend to sell or expect that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investment security prior to an anticipated recovery in fair value.  Once a decline in value for a debt security is determined to be other than temporary, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated in (a) the amount of total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss) and (b) the amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors.  The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss is recognized in earnings.  The amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).  For equity securities, the full amount of the other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in earnings.

 36

Management’s determination of whether FHLB stock is impaired is based on our assessment of the ultimate recoverability of the cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value.  The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of the cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB.  Management believes no impairment is necessary related to the FHLB stock at March 31, 2012.

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets.  In evaluating our ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers all positive and negative information, including our past operating results and our forecast of future taxable income.  In determining future taxable income, management utilizes a budget process that makes business assumptions and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies.  These assumptions require us to make judgments about our future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we use to manage our business.  Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets which would result in additional income tax expense in the period.

Fair Value Measurements. The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.  We estimate the fair value of financial instruments using a variety of valuation methods.  Where financial instruments are actively traded and have quoted market prices, quoted market prices are used for fair value.  When the financial instruments are not actively traded, other observable market inputs, such as quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, may be used, if available, to determine fair value.  When observable market prices do not exist, we estimate fair value.  Other factors such as model assumptions and market dislocations can affect estimates of fair value.  Differences in the fair value and carrying value of certain financial instruments (including changes in the differences between the fair value and the carrying value from period to period), such as loans, securities held to maturity, deposits and borrowings do not affect our reported financial condition or results of operations, as such financial instruments are carried at cost.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011

Total assets increased $35.1 million, or 5.8%, to $638.9 million at March 31, 2012, from $603.8 million at December 31, 2011.  The increase was mainly the result of increases in cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale offset by decreases in investment securities held-to-maturity and loans receivable.

 37

Net loans receivable decreased $3.3 million, or 1.1%, to $294.3 million at March 31, 2012 from $297.6 million at December 31, 2011.  Commercial real estate loans decreased $1.8 million to $100.3 million at March 31, 2012 from $102.1 million at December 31, 2011.  Construction loans decreased $164,000 to $4.0 million at March 31, 2012 from $4.1 million at December 31, 2011.  One- to four-family residential real estate loans decreased $491,000 to $140.1 million at March 31, 2012 from $140.6 million at December 31, 2011.    Home equity loans and lines of credit decreased $1.5 million to $31.1 million at March 31, 2012 from $32.6 million at December 31, 2011.  Commercial loans decreased by $1.5 million to $20.4 million at March 31, 2012 from $21.9 million at December 31, 2011.  We currently have an internal limit for our loans (other than one- to four-family residential real estate loans) which is 275% of the sum of core capital (generally common stockholders’ equity including retained earnings and minority interest in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less certain intangible assets) plus our allowance for loan losses.  Included in the net loans receivable are nonaccrual loans which decreased to $5.9 million at March 31, 2012 from $6.2 million at December 31, 2011.

Real estate owned totaled $3.2 million and $3.1 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  We completed the foreclosure process on three properties, one of which was a nonresidential property and two of which were residential one- to four-family properties and we sold two residential one- to four-family properties.

Securities available-for-sale increased $15.3 million, or 6.7%, to $243.8 million at March 31, 2012 from $228.5 at December 31, 2011.  This increase was the result of purchases in the amount of $51.5 million offset by calls, maturities and sales in the amount of $24.0 million, $11.4 in principal amortization and a market value decrease of $807,000.  Securities held-to-maturity decreased by $1.2 million, to $36.8 million at March 31, 2012 from $38.0 million at December 31, 2011.  This decrease was the result of calls and maturities in the amount of $1.4 million and principal amortization of $59,000 offset by purchases in the amount of $290,000.

Deposits increased $43.2 million, or 8.3%, to $563.9 million at March 31, 2012 from $520.7 million at December 31, 2011.  NOW accounts increased $21.0 million, or 15.9%, to $152.9 million at March 31, 2012 from $131.9 million at December 31, 2011.  Savings accounts increased $3.7 million to $108.7 million at March 31, 2012 from $105.0 million at December 31, 2011.  Super NOW accounts increased by $2.2 million to $41.4 million at March 31, 2012 from $39.2 million at December 31, 2011.  Non-interest bearing demand accounts increased by $19.8 million to $45.7 million at March 31, 2012 from $25.9 million at December 31, 2011.  Certificates of deposit decreased by $276,000 to $147.3 million at March 31, 2012 from $147.6 million at December 31, 2011.  We did not aggressively price our certificates of deposit upon maturity, but some certificate of deposit customers remained with us by opening other types of deposit accounts.

Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings totaled $2.0 million at March 31, 2012 and $10.0 million at December 31, 2011.

Total stockholders’ equity decreased $157,000 to $71.5 million at March 31, 2012 from $71.7 million at December 31, 2011.  This decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive income of $513,000 offset by net income of $248,000.

 38

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011

General.  Net income decreased $567,000 to $248,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $815,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The principal reasons for the decrease in net income was a reduction in net interest income of $48,000, an increase in the provision for loan losses of $932,000 offset by a decrease in non-interest expense of $43,000, a decrease in income tax expense of $241,000 and an increase in non-interest income of $129,000.

Interest Income.  Interest income decreased $505,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The decrease in interest income resulted from a decrease of $427,000 in interest income on loans and a decrease of $78,000 in interest income on securities.

Interest income on loans decreased $427,000 to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The average balance of loans decreased $21.0 million to $296.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $317.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the average yield decreased to 5.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 5.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Interest income on securities decreased by $78,000 to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The decrease in interest income on securities was due to a decrease in the average yield on taxable and tax-exempt securities of 48 basis points to 2.30% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 2.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, offset by an increase in the average balance of taxable and tax-exempt securities to $262.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $228.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The yields on tax-exempt securities are not tax-affected.

Interest Expense.Interest expense decreased $457,000 to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased by $420,000 to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The decrease in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was due to a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits to 1.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 1.55% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $504.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $482.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  We experienced increases in the average balances of savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, NOW and Super-NOW accounts.  We experienced decreases in the average cost across all categories of interest-bearing deposits, except NOW accounts, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, reflecting lower market rates.

 39

Interest expense on borrowings decreased $37,000 to $11,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $48,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  This decrease was primarily due to a $4.1 million decrease in the average balance of borrowings to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and a decrease in the average rate paid on borrowings to 1.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 2.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  We have decreased our outstanding borrowings because our net increase in deposits and the proceeds received from the sales, calls, maturities and amortization of securities, discussed above, exceeded our cash needs to fund loan originations and investment securities purchases.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, we consider past and current loss experience, evaluation of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of nonperforming and other classified loans.  The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or later events change.  We assess the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and make provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company charged off $3.4 million in loans which includes $2.6 million in specific valuation allowances that were established in earlier quarters and approximately $800,000 in additional loans charged-off during this quarter.  The increased write-offs during this quarter had an effect of increasing our provision charged to operations as we utilize our historical loss experience in our allowance for loan loss calculation.

Based on our evaluation of the above factors, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and a provision for loan losses of $316,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The allowance for loan losses was $2.9 million, or 0.96% of total loans, at March 31, 2012, compared to $3.8 million, or 1.18% of total loans, at March 31, 2011.  Our balance of loans we evaluated individually for impairment was $24.1 million at March 31, 2012 and $30.1 million at December 31, 2011, although we provided specific allowances on loans with principal balances of $1.3 million as of March 31, 2012 and $11.4 million as of December 31, 2011.  At March 31, 2012 and 2011, we maintained unallocated allowances for loan losses of $500,000.

To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at March 31, 2012 and 2011.  However, future changes in the factors described above, including, but not limited to, actual loss experience with respect to our loan portfolio (including residential and commercial real estate loans) could result in material increases in our provisions for loan losses.

Non-interest Income.  Non-interest income was $546,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and $417,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Fees and service charges on deposit accounts increased by $13,000 to $291,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $278,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Gains on the sale of loans totaled $31,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and we had no such gains on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, there was a net gain on the sale and call of investment securities in the amount of $166,000 compared to a net gain of $22,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Earnings on life insurance increased by $1,000 to $86,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $85,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 40

Non-interest Expense.  Non-interest expense decreased $43,000 to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Compensation and benefits expense increased by $80,000 to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $37,000 to $376,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $413,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  This decrease is mainly due to a reduction in repairs and maintenance on Company assets.  Federal deposit insurance premiums decreased $130,000 to $110,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $240,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Data processing fees decreased by $63,000 to $198,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $261,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  This reduction is due to a change in processors for some of the services offered by us.  Professional fees increased $28,000 mainly due to an increase in legal fees due to increased collection efforts on loans.

Income Tax Expense.We recorded income tax expense of $78,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $319,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were 23.9% and 28.1%, respectively.  The reason for the decrease in the percentage noted above is due to the increase in the percentage of tax-exempt income to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature.  Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities and sales of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our asset/liability management program.  Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents totaled $31.6 million.  Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $243.8 million at March 31, 2012.  In addition, at March 31, 2012, we had the ability to borrow a total of $319.5 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (50% of our assets at that date with FHLB-NY Board of Directors approval).  On that date, we had $2.0 million in advances outstanding.

 41

At March 31, 2012, loan commitments outstanding totaled $4.9 million. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $15.0 million in unadvanced funds to borrowers.  We had commitments to purchase securities in the amount of $4.0 million at March 31, 2012.  Total certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2012 totaled $82.9 million.  Total certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2012 represent 14.7% of total deposits.  If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before March 31, 2013.  We believe based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

We have no material commitments or demands that are likely to affect our liquidity other than set forth above. In the event loan demand were to increase at a pace greater than expected, or any unforeseen demand or commitment were to occur, we could access our borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York or increase deposit rates to attract additional deposits.

Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we originated $9.6 million of loans and purchased $51.8 million of securities.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we originated $12.7 million of loans and purchased $39.4 million of securities.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  We experienced net increases in total deposits of $43.2 million and $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors.  We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive in our local markets.

Total borrowings, which include Federal Home Loan Bank advances, totaled $2.0 million at March 31, 2012.  Federal Home Loan Bank advances have primarily been used to fund loan demand and purchase securities.

We have spent $361,000 for the acquisition and development of land in the Borough of Buena, New Jersey, $1.4 million for the acquisition and development of land in Harrison Township, New Jersey and $792,000 for the acquisition and development of land in Millville, New Jersey, in each case for the purpose of establishing a new full service branch office.  However, because building these offices is subject to state and local government approval, we cannot assure you that we will be able to open these facilities, or that we will be able to complete construction even if we expend significant funds on the construction projects.

Colonial Bank, FSB is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of Thrift Supervision, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories.  At March 31, 2012, Colonial Bank, FSB exceeded all of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulatory capital requirements. Colonial Bank, FSB is considered “well capitalized“ under regulatory guidelines.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.   Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosures.

(b)           Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
