Greene County Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of and for the Nine Months and Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006


(1)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of June 30, 2006 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Greene County Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Bank of Greene County (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Greene County Commercial Bank. The consolidated financial statements at and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are unaudited.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. To the extent that information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements are contained in or are consistent with the audited financial statements incorporated by reference to Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006, such information and footnotes have not been duplicated herein. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented have been included. Amounts in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or retained earnings as previously reported. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The results of operations and other data for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods, including the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY

Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s critical accounting policy relates to the allowance for loan losses. It is based on management’s estimation of an amount that is intended to absorb losses in the existing portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio, the composition of the portfolio, specific impaired loans and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, management’s estimate of probable credit losses and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for the allowance of loan losses. However, this evaluation involves a high degree of complexity and requires management to make subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. This critical accounting policy and its application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
 
(2)  Nature of Operations

Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s primary business is the ownership and operation of its subsidiaries. The Bank of Greene County has nine full-service offices and an operations center located in its market area consisting of Greene County, Columbia County and southern Albany County, New York. The Bank of Greene County is primarily engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public in The Bank of Greene County’s market area, and investing such deposits, together with other sources of funds, in loans and investment securities. Greene County Commercial Bank’s primary business is to attract deposits from and provide banking services to local municipalities.

(3)  Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues 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 (the “Allowance”) and the assessment of other-than-temporary security impairment.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, asset quality or other factors. In addition, various regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our Allowance. Such authorities may require us to recognize additions to the Allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Greene County Bancorp, Inc. makes periodic assessments to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances to indicate that securities on which there are unrealized losses are impaired on an other-than-temporary basis. The Company considers many factors including the severity and duration of the impairment; the intent and ability of the Company to hold securities for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value; recent events specific to the issuer or industry; and for debt securities, external credit ratings and recent downgrades. Securities on which there is an unrealized loss that is deemed to be other-than-temporary are written down to fair value with the write-down recorded as a realized loss.
 
(4)  Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Shares of restricted stock are not considered outstanding for the calculation of basic earnings per share until they become fully vested. Diluted EPS is computed in a manner similar to that of basic EPS except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of incremental common shares that would have been outstanding under the treasury stock method if all potentially dilutive common shares (such as stock options and unvested restricted stock) issued became vested during the period. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are not included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for either the basic or diluted EPS calculations.

(5)  Dividends

On January 17, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.25 per share of Greene County Bancorp, Inc. common stock. The dividend reflects an annual cash dividend rate of $0.50 cents per share, which represented an increase from the previous annual cash dividend rate of $0.46 per share. The dividend was payable to stockholders of record as of February 15, 2007, and paid on March 1, 2007. It should be noted that Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s mutual holding company continued to waive receipt of dividends on the 2,304,632 shares of Company common stock it owns for the current period.


(6)  Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements of Greene County Bancorp, Inc. and notes thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of Greene County Bancorp, Inc. are monetary. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services.


(7)       Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments.”  SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS Nos. 133 and 140, and improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments by requiring more consistent accounting that eliminates exemptions and provides a means to simplify the accounting for these instruments.  Specifically, SFAS No. 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis.  SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.  The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 155, as applicable, beginning on July 1, 2007.  The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have any material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, which for the Company will be July 1, 2007. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have any material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation requires that companies recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position only if the Company has determined, based on the technical merits of the tax position, that the tax position would more likely than not be sustained upon an examination by the appropriate taxing authority. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On September 29, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”, which amends SFAS 87 and SFAS 106 to require recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans on the balance sheet. Under SFAS 158, gains and losses, prior service costs and credits, and any remaining transition amounts under SFAS 87 and SFAS 106 that have not yet been recognized through net periodic benefit cost will be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic cost. The measurement date — the date at which the benefit obligation and plan assets are measured — is required to be the company’s fiscal year end. SFAS 158 is effective for publicly-held companies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, except for the measurement date provisions, which are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 158 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company July 1, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the its consolidated financial statements.

(8)      Stock-Based Compensation

At March 31, 2007, Greene County Bancorp, Inc. had two stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 9 of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2006. Through June 30, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which required the measurement of the fair value of stock options or warrants granted to employees to be included in the statement of operations or, alternatively, disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements.  The Company elected to account for stock-based compensation of employees under the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations and elected the disclosure-only alternative under SFAS No. 123.  Accordingly no stock-based compensation cost was reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company adopted SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” effective July 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123 (R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements over the period that the employees provide service in exchange for the award. Public companies were required to adopt the standard using a modified prospective method and they were given the option to elect to restate prior periods using the modified retrospective method. Under the modified prospective method, companies are required to record compensation cost for new and modified awards over the related vesting period of such awards prospectively and record compensation cost prospectively for the unvested portion, at the date of adoption of previously issued and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such awards. Greene County Bancorp, Inc. chose the modified prospective method. However, since all outstanding options vested prior to March 31, 2006, there is no stock-based compensation expense to be recorded in the current period and, therefore, no effect on net income or earnings per share; consequently, no table illustrating the impact of share-based compensation on earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 is included.
 
A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for its option plans is as follows:

The total intrinsic value of the options exercised during the nine and three months ended March 31, 2007, was approximately $53,000 and $35,000, respectively. There were no stock options granted during the nine and three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company had no non-vested options outstanding at or during the nine months ended March 31, 2007.


 
For the purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of stock options is amortized to expense over their assumed vesting periods. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to all stock-related compensation prior to July 1, 2006. The fair value of each option grant has been estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

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

Overview of the Company’s Activities and Risks

Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s results of operations depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s loan and securities portfolios and its cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s provision for loan losses, gains and losses from sales of securities, noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income consists primarily of fees and service charges. Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s noninterest expense consists principally of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy, equipment and data processing, and other operating expenses. Results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, changes in interest rates, as well as government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Additionally, future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may materially affect Greene County Bancorp, Inc.

To operate successfully, the Company must manage various types of risk, including but not limited to, market or interest rate risk, credit risk, transaction risk, liquidity risk, security risk, strategic risk, reputation risk and compliance risk. While all of these risks are important, the risks of greatest significance to the Company relate to market or interest rate risk and credit risk.

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and/or interest rates. Since net interest income (the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings) is the Company’s primary source of revenue, interest rate risk is the most significant non-credit related market risk to which the Company is exposed. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates as well as fluctuations in the level and duration of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

Interest rate risk is the exposure of the Company’s net interest income to adverse movements in interest rates. In addition to directly impacting net interest income, changes in interest rates can also affect the amount of new loan originations, the ability of borrowers and debt issuers to repay loans and debt securities, the volume of loan repayments and refinancings, and the flow and mix of deposits.

Credit risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings and shareholders’ equity that results from customers, to whom loans have been made and to the issuers of debt securities in which the Company has invested, failing to repay their obligations. The magnitude of risk depends on the capacity and willingness of borrowers and debt issuers to repay and the sufficiency of the value of collateral obtained to secure the loans made or investments purchased.

Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. Greene County Bancorp, Inc. desires to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the protections of the safe harbor with respect to all such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which are included in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis and elsewhere in this quarterly report, describe future plans or strategies and include Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s expectations of future financial results. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies or qualitative or quantitative changes based on market risk exposure is inherently uncertain. Factors that could affect actual results include but are not limited to:
(a)  
changes in general market interest rates,
(b)  
general economic conditions,
(c)  
legislative and regulatory changes,
(d)  
monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve,
(e)  
changes in the quality or composition of The Bank of Greene County’s loan portfolio or the consolidated investment portfolios of The Bank of Greene County and Greene County Bancorp, Inc.,
(f)  
deposit flows,
(g)  
competition, and
(h)  
demand for financial services in Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s market area.

These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements, since results in future periods may differ materially from those currently expected because of various risks and uncertainties.

Comparison of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006

ASSETS

Total assets of the Company increased to $321.4 million at March 31, 2007 from $307.6 million at June 30, 2006. The asset composition shifted toward loans, which amounted to $204.9 million, or 63.8% of total assets at March 31, 2007, as compared to $190.1 million, or 61.8% of total assets at June 30, 2006. The asset composition shifted away from securities, which represented $79.4 million or 24.7% of total assets at March 31, 2007 as compared to $87.3 million or 28.4% of total assets at June 30, 2006.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Total cash and cash equivalents increased to $20.0 million at March 31, 2007 as compared to $15.9 million at June 30, 2006, an increase of $4.1 million or 25.8%. Cash, such as vault cash and balances with correspondent banks, was $11.9 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $12.2 million at June 30, 2006. Federal funds sold increased to $8.0 million at March 31, 2007 as compared to $3.6 million at June 30, 2006.
 
SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

Investment securities decreased to $79.4 million at March 31, 2007 as compared to $87.3 million at June 30, 2006, a decrease of $7.9 million, or 9.0%. The decline in the securities portfolio was used to help fund loan growth and was the result of principal pay-downs that amounted to $11.7 million during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007, of which $10.9 million were mortgage-backed securities.  Also,  maturities that amounted to $4.1 million, of which $2.6 million were state and political subdivision securities, $1.0 million were government agency securities and $0.5 million were corporate securities. Purchases of $7.5 million, of which $4.2 million were tax-exempt securities and $3.3 million were government agency securities, partially offset the principal pay-downs and maturities between March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006. Additionally, during the nine months ended March 31, 2007, unrealized losses on these available- for-sale securities declined $976,000. Greene County Bancorp, Inc. held 39.1% of the securities portfolio at March 31, 2007 in state and political subdivision securities to take advantage of tax savings and to promote Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s participation in the communities in which it operates.

LOANS

Net loans receivable increased to $204.9 million at March 31, 2007 from $190.1 million at June 30, 2006, an increase of $14.8 million, or 7.8%. The loan growth experienced during the nine months primarily consisted of $8.0 million in residential mortgages, $3.0 million in commercial real estate, and $2.7 million in home equity loans. The continued low interest rate environment and strong customer satisfaction from personal service continued to enhance loan growth. Recent interest rate hikes by the Federal Open Market Committee have yet to significantly affect long term interest rates. If long term rates begin to rise, the Company anticipates some slow down in new loan demand as well as refinancing activities. It appears consumers continue to use the equity in their homes and credit cards to fund financing needs for some activities, where in the past an installment loan may have been the choice. The low financing options from auto makers continued to cut into the Bank’s automobile loan generation.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio, the composition of the loan portfolio, specific impaired loans and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an allowance for loan loss. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review The Bank of Greene County’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require The Bank of Greene County to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses is increased by a provision for loan losses (which results in a charge to expense) and recoveries of loans previously charged off and is reduced by net charge-offs. The level of the provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, was driven by the continued good asset quality. Any future increase in the allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs could have a material adverse effect on Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s results of operations and financial condition.

Nonaccrual Loans and Nonperforming Assets

Loans are reviewed on a regular basis. Management determines that a loan is impaired or nonperforming when it is probable at least a portion of the loan will not be collected in accordance with its contractual terms due to an irreversible deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or the value of the underlying collateral. When a loan is determined to be impaired, the measurement of the loan impairment is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. Management places loans on nonaccrual status once the loans have become 90 days or more delinquent. Nonaccrual is defined as a loan in which collectibility is questionable and therefore interest on the loan will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis. A loan does not have to be 90 days delinquent in order to be classified as nonperforming. Foreclosed real estate is considered nonperforming. The Bank of Greene County had no accruing loans delinquent more than 90 days at March 31, 2007 or June 30, 2006.

During the nine-months ended March 31, 2007, interest income of approximately $29,000 was not recorded on nonaccrual loans under their original terms due to the nonaccrual nature of these loans.  At March 31, 2007, there has been a significant increase in nonperforming loans when compared to June 30, 2006 at which time the level of nonperforming loans was unusually low. The collateral supporting these nonaccrual loans has been evaluated and is considered adequate at March 31, 2007.



DEPOSITS

Total deposits increased to $280.2 million at March 31, 2007 from $268.3 million at June 30, 2006, an increase of $11.9 million, or 4.4%. The net growth in deposits was primarily due to a $13.2 million increase in municipal deposits at Greene County Commercial Bank. The Company has seen a shift from savings and money market deposits to NOW deposits as customers try to shop for the best rates while still maintaining liquidity. The Company continues to try to encourage customers to open noninterest bearing deposit accounts through various marketing strategies, including gifts.

BORROWINGS

At March 31, 2007, The Bank of Greene County had the following borrowings:

Amount
Rate
Maturity Date
$5,000,000
3.64% - convertible
10/24/2013
 
The $5.0 million borrowing, which carried a 3.64% interest rate at March 31, 2007, is convertible by the FHLB under certain market interest rate scenarios, including three-month LIBOR at or above 7.5%. The FHLB has the option to convert existing advances into replacement advances for the same or lesser principal amount based on the then current market rates. If the Bank chooses not to replace the funding, the Bank must repay this convertible advance, including any accrued interest, on the interest payment date.

EQUITY

Shareholders’ equity increased to $35.4 million at March 31, 2007 from $33.6 million at June 30, 2006, as net income of $1.9 million was partially offset by dividends declared and paid of $885,000. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased by $595,000 to $152,000 as a result of an improvement in the fair value of the securities available-for-sale portfolio, net of tax. The unrealized loss in the portfolio was due solely to interest rate movements and management does not consider the loss to be other-than-temporary. Other changes in equity were the result of activities associated with the various stock-based compensation plans of the Company including the 2000 Stock Option Plan and ESOP Plan. 4,820 options were exercised during the nine months ended March 31, 2007, reducing the number of shares held as treasury stock to 155,604.

GENERAL

Return on average assets and return on average equity are common methods of measuring operating results. Return on average assets increased to 0.81% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 0.80% for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. Return on average equity increased to 7.28% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 7.08% for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. The increase in return on average assets and return on average equity was primarily the result of higher noninterest income. Net income amounted to $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of $133,000 or 7.6%. Average assets amounted to $311.8 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $294.4 million for the same period ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $17.4 million or 5.9%. Average equity amounted to $34.6 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $33.1 million for the same period ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $1.5 million or 4.5%.

Return on average assets decreased to 0.48% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 0.77% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Return on average equity decreased to 4.30% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 6.86% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in return on average assets and return on average equity was primarily the result of higher noninterest expense. Net income amounted to $379,000 and $574,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, a decrease of $195,000 or 34.0%. Average assets amounted to $316.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $296.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $19.3 million or 6.5%. Average equity amounted to $35.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $33.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $1.7 million or 5.1%.


INTEREST INCOME

Interest income amounted to $12.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $10.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $1.6 million or 14.7%. Interest income amounted to $4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $505,000 or 13.5%. The increase in loan volume complemented by an increase in the yield on interest earning assets had the greatest impact on interest income when comparing the nine months and quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Average loan balances increased $26.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to March 31, 2006 and the yield increased by 15 basis points when comparing the same periods. Average loan balances increased $25.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and the yield increased by 13 basis points when comparing the same periods. The overall impact on interest income from securities was positive despite a decline in average balances which was offset by a 58 basis point increase in yield when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and a 53 basis point increase when comparing the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The average balance of securities decreased $8.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to March 31, 2006, and decreased $8.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to March 31, 2006. Short term investments such as interest bearing bank balances and federal funds sold were utilized to fund loan growth, and therefore, interest income from these investments decreased due to the $3.5 million and $2.0 million decreases in average balances when comparing the nine months and quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Most of the decrease in income from short term investments was offset by a higher yield on such investments, primarily as a result of the short-term interest rate hikes implemented by the Federal Open Market Committee during 2006. Although the Federal Open Market Committee increased short-term rates several times during calendar 2006, the long-term rates continue to remain relatively unchanged and low.
 

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense amounted to $4.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $2.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $1.8 million. Interest expense amounted to $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $575,000. Changes in rates on interest-bearing liabilities had the greatest impact on overall interest expense. The average balance of interest bearing liabilities amounted to $275.5 million and the average rate increased to 2.25% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to an average balance of $259.2 million with an average rate of 1.50% for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $16.2 million and an increase in average rate of 75 basis points. The average balance of interest bearing liabilities amounted to $277.8 million and the average rate increased to 2.36% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to an average balance of $261.2 million with an average rate of 1.63% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $16.6 million and an increase in average rate of 73 basis points. The average rate paid on demand and NOW deposits increased 108 basis points and 110 basis points, respectively, when comparing the nine months and quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the average balance of such accounts grew by $22.8 million and $26.3 million, respectively, when comparing the same periods, contributing to the overall increase in interest expense. The average balance of certificates of deposit grew by $7.9 million and the average rate paid increased by 107 basis points when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The average balance of certificates of deposit grew by $9.3 million and the average rate paid increased by 112 basis points when comparing the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The average balance of savings and money market deposits fell by $13.6 million and $18.9 million when comparing the nine months and quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 but was offset by increases of 57 basis points and 41 basis points in average rate paid when comparing the same periods. The level of interest paid on borrowings was lower when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 due to the repayment of a $2.5 million borrowing with a rate of 6.80% on October 4, 2005 and there were no significant additional borrowings.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $7.9 million and $2.6 million for the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 2007, respectively, which decreased by $134,000 and $70,000 from the same periods ended March 31, 2006. Net interest spread decreased 26 basis points to 3.52% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 from 3.78% for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, and 30 basis points to 3.46% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 3.76% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Net interest margin decreased 24 basis points to 3.63% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 from 3.87% for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, and 28 basis points to 3.57% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 3.85% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The tightening of the net interest spread and margin hindered net interest income growth when comparing the nine months and quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Due to the large portion of fixed rate residential mortgages in the Company’s asset portfolio, interest rate risk is a concern and the Company will continue to monitor the situation and attempt to adjust the asset and liability mix as much as possible to take advantage of the benefits and reduce the risks or potential negative effects of a rising rate environment. Management attempts to mitigate the interest rate risk through balance sheet composition. Several strategies are used to help manage interest rate risk such as maintaining a high level of liquid assets such as short-term federal funds sold and various investment securities and maintaining a high concentration of less interest-rate sensitive and lower-costing core deposits.


PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses amounted to $194,000 and $100,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of $94,000. The provision for loan losses amounted to $83,000 and $40,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of $43,000. The increase in the level of provision was partially a result of growth in the loan portfolio and an increase in the amount of loan charge-offs, which were associated with the overdraft protection program. Net charge-offs associated with the overdraft protection program increased $41,000, or 128.1%, to $73,000, when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.





NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income amounted to $2.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $2.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $609,000 or 26.2%. A pretax gain of approximately $257,000 related to the sale of the old Coxsackie branch building was the most significant item contributing to the improvement in noninterest income. Noninterest income amounted to $840,000 on for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $762,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $78,000 or 10.2%. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $236,000 and $92,000 for the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 2007, respectively, due to higher levels of insufficient funds charges due to changes implemented in the Overdraft Privilege Program.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense amounted to $8.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $7.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $205,000 or 2.6%. Noninterest expense amounted to $2.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $295,000 or 11.3%. Salaries and employee benefits increased $25,000 when comparing nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and increased $90,000 when comparing the quarters ended March 31 2007 and 2006. Retirement expense decreased $143,000 and $40,000 for the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 2007, respectively, primarily as a result of discontinuing the accrual of benefits under the defined benefit pension plan beginning July 1, 2006. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in 401(k) contribution expense of $39,000 and $19,000 for the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 2007, respectively, resulting from increases in employer match beginning July 1, 2006 and January 1, 2007. Also contributing to the increase in salaries and employee benefits was higher salaries expenses which increased $164,000 and $132,000 for the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 2007, respectively, due primarily to the staffing of two new branch offices which opened in February and March 2007 as well as several new positions within the commercial lending department. Occupancy expense and equipment and furniture expense increased approximately $138,000 and $45,000, respectively, when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and $74,000 and $44,000, respectively, when comparing the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 due to higher utility costs, building maintenance and increased depreciation expense associated with the relocated Cairo and Coxsackie branches, the opening of the new operations center in Catskill and the opening of two new branches in Catskill and Greenport. Service and data processing fees decreased approximately $16,000 when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 resulting from the discontinuation of the outsourcing of the data processing system following the implementation of the new system, which was partially offset by an increase in internet banking fees and debit card costs associated with the Visa Rewards program. Service and data processing fees increased approximately $31,000 when comparing the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 resulting from higher internet banking fees and debit card costs associated with the Visa Rewards program. Other noninterest expenses decreased approximately $86,000 and $5,000 when comparing the nine months and quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. These expenses were higher for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 as a result of expenses associated with the data processing system conversion such as training costs, licensing fees, and professional fees.


INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes reflected the expected tax associated with the revenue generated for the given period and certain regulatory requirements. The effective tax rate was 28.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, compared to 28.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. The effective tax rate was 17.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to 27.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in effective rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was the result of decreased pre-tax income and the resultant increased percentage of tax exempt interest earned in total taxable income.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk since the majority of Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s primary sources of funds are deposits and proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed securities and debt securities, with lines of credit available through the Federal Home Loan Bank as needed. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit outflows, mortgage prepayments, and lending activities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

The Bank of Greene County met all regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006. The Bank’s consolidated shareholder’s equity represented 11.0% of total assets at March 31, 2007 and 10.9% of total assets of June 30, 2006.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANAGEMENTS

In addition to the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risks. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, lines of credit, and letters of credit.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations of cash flow.

Mortgage loan commitments totaled $9.0 million at March 31, 2007. The unused portion of overdraft lines of credit amounted to $7.9 million, the unused portion of home equity lines of credit amounted to $5.7 million, and the unused portion of commercial lines of credit amounted to $3.9 million at March 31, 2007. Greene County Bancorp, Inc. anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments based on the level of cash and cash equivalents as well as the available for sale investment portfolio and borrowing capacity from Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.
