Greene County Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of and for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006


(1)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of June 30, 2007 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 months ended September 30, 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, 2007, 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 three months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s most 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.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and Staff Accounting Bulletin 59, “Noncurrent Marketable Equity Securities,” require companies to perform periodic reviews of individual securities in their investment portfolios to determine whether decline in the value of a security is other than temporary.  Greene County Bancorp, Inc. makes an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances to indicate that a security on which there is an unrealized loss is 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 the security 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.
 
(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 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 (the “Allowance”) 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 an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances to indicate that a security on which there is an unrealized loss is 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 the security 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 earnings per share  is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner similar to that of basic earnings per share 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) 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 earnings per share calculations.

(5)  
        Dividends

On July 18, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.25 per share of Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s common stock.  The dividend reflects an annual cash dividend rate of $0.50 per share, which is equal to the rate reflected by the prior semi-annual dividend paid in March 2007.  The dividend was payable to stockholders of record as of August 15, 2007, and paid on September 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.

On August 22, 2007, the Board of Directors announced that the Company will begin paying a cash dividend quarterly rather than semi-annually.  (See Note 9).

The consolidated financial statements of Greene County Bancorp, Inc. and notes thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, 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 September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 implementation of this standard has not had and is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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 beginning July 1, 2008.  The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements, if any.

In March 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-11 “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards.”  EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for non-vested equity-classified employee share-based payment awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital.  EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2007.  The Company does not expect EITF 06-11 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 (8)        Stock-Based Compensation

At September 30, 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, 2007.  The Company adopted SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payments” 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 July 1, 2006, there was no stock-based compensation expense to be recorded during the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, 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 quarters ended September 30, 2007 or 2006 is included.




A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for its option plans for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

The total intrinsic value of the options exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, was approximately $4,300 and $8,000, respectively.  There were no stock options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.  The Company had no non-vested options outstanding at or during the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

(9)       Stock Repurchase Program

On August 22, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company intends to repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares (excluding shares held by Greene County Bancorp, MHC, the Company’s mutual holding company), or up to 92,346 shares.  As of September 30, 2007, the Company had repurchased 280 shares at an average cost of $13.09 per share.

(10)       Income Taxes

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48”). Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement for income tax positions that we have taken or expect to take in our income tax returns. It also provides related guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on July 1, 2007. The adoption required us to recognize a $218,000 increase in our liability for unrecognized tax liabilities as a result of implementation.

As of July 1, 2007, we had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $186,000. We recognize penalties and accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. As of July 1, 2007, we had a liability of approximately $32,000 for penalties and interest.

     Actual income taxes paid may vary from estimates depending upon changes in income tax laws, actual results of operations, and the final audit of tax returns by taxing authorities. Tax assessments may arise several years after tax returns have been filed. The Company reviews its tax balances quarterly and as new information becomes available, the balances are adjusted, as appropriate. The Company is subject to ongoing tax examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions.  With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before June 30, 2004.


 (11)      Subsequent events

On October 16, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share on Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s common stock.  The dividend reflects an annual cash dividend rate of $0.56 per share, which represents an increase from the previous annual cash dividend rate of $0.50 per share.  The dividend will be payable to stockholders of record as of November 15, 2007, and will be paid on December 1, 2007.  It should be noted that Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s mutual holding company continued to waive receipt of dividends for the current period.



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

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 September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007

ASSETS

Total assets of the Company were $339.1 million at September 30, 2007 as compared to $325.8 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $13.3 million, or 4.1%.  Securities available for sale amounted to $83.2 million, or 24.5% of assets, at September 30, 2007 as compared to $87.2 million, or 26.8% of assets, at June 30, 2007, a decrease of $4.0 million or 4.6%.   Principal pay-downs and maturities associated with securities amounted to $6.9 million between June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007.  These activities were partially offset by securities purchases of $2.2 million over the same time frame.  Loans grew by $10.8 million between September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007.  As a result, net loans represented 64.3% of assets at September 30, 2007 as compared to 63.6% of assets at June 30, 2007.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Total cash and cash equivalents increased to $20.5 million at September 30, 2007 as compared to $14.0 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $6.5 million or 46.4%.  Cash, such as vault cash and balances with correspondent banks, decreased approximately $1.3 million between September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007.  Federal funds sold increased to $10.7 million at September 30, 2007 as compared to $2.9 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $7.8 million or 269%.  The level of cash and cash equivalents is a function of the daily account clearing needs and deposit levels as well as activities associated with securities transactions and loan funding.  All of these items can cause cash levels to fluctuate significantly on a daily basis.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

Securities decreased $4.0 million or 4.6% to $83.2 million at September 30, 2007 as compared to $87.2 million at June 30, 2007.  The decline in the securities portfolio was used to help fund loan growth and was the result of principal pay-downs that amounted to $2.5 million, of which $2.1 million were mortgage-backed securities, and maturities that amounted to $4.4 million, of which $2.4 million were state and political subdivision securities and $2.0 million were U.S. government agency securities. Purchases of $2.2 million, primarily tax-free securities, partially offset the principal pay-downs and maturities between September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007. Additionally, during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, unrealized net gains and losses on these available for sale securities improved $745,000.  Greene County Bancorp, Inc. holds 34.4% of the securities portfolio at September 30, 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.     Mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities held within the portfolio do not contain sub-prime loans and are not exposed to the credit risk associated with such lending.

LOANS

Net loans receivable increased to $218.1 million at September 30, 2007 from $207.3 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $10.8 million, or 5.2%.  The loan growth experienced during the quarter primarily consisted of $7.3 million in residential mortgages, and $2.4 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 to fund financing needs for some activities, where in the past an installment loan may have been the choice.  The Bank of Greene County continues to use a conservative underwriting policy in regard to all loan originations, and does not engage in sub-prime lending.

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 quarter ended September 30, 2007, was driven by the continued good asset quality.  The increase in the level of provision was partially the 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.  Accounts within the overdraft protection program have approved limits up to a maximum of $1,000.  The outstanding overdraft balances as of September 30, 2007 totaled $158,000.  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.  Other real estate owned is considered nonperforming.  The Bank of Greene County had no accruing loans delinquent more than 90 days at September 30, 2007 or June 30, 2007.

During the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, The Bank of Greene County had no impaired loans.  Accordingly, no specific valuation allowance for impaired loans was recorded.  Interest income related to nonaccrual loans was not material in the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.



DEPOSITS

Total deposits increased to $297.1 million at September 30, 2007 from $284.2 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $12.9 million, or 4.5%.  The Bank of Greene County and Greene County Commercial Bank continued to draw new and existing customers to its deposit products.  Contributing to the increase in deposits was an $8.2 million increase in municipal deposits between June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007.   Deposits continued to shift from savings deposits to NOW deposits as customers try to shop for the best rates while still maintaining liquidity.  Interest bearing checking accounts (NOW accounts) increased $10.8 million or 19.3% to $66.9 million at September 30, 2007 as compared to $56.1 million at June 30, 2007.  Savings deposits decreased $4.6 million or 6.4% to $67.2 million at September 30, 2007 as compared to $71.8 million at June 30, 2007.    Certificates of deposit balances increased $6.1 million between June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007.  Noninterest bearing deposits decreased $2.4 million to $41.6 million at September 30, 2007.

BORROWINGS

At September 30, 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 September 30, 2007, is convertible by FHLB under certain market interest rate scenarios, including three-month LIBOR at or above 7.5%.  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 $35.8 million at September 30, 2007 from $35.4 million at June 30, 2007, as net income of $569,000 was partially offset by dividends declared and paid of $462,000. An improvement of $455,000 in the fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio, net of tax, resulted in accumulated other comprehensive income of $55,000 at September 30, 2007 compared to accumulated other comprehensive loss of $400,000 at June 30, 2007.  The Company recorded an adjustment, effective July 1, 2007, reducing retained earnings by $218,000 as a result of implementing FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”.  Other changes in equity, totaling a $41,000 increase, 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.  500 options were exercised during the quarter ended September 30, 2007.   On August 22, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company intends to repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares (excluding shares held by Greene County Bancorp, MHC, the Company’s mutual holding company), or up to 92,346 shares.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the company repurchased 280 shares.  As a result of this stock repurchase and the exercise of stock options during the period, treasury shares were reduced to 154,384.

GENERAL

Return on average assets and return on average equity are common methods of measuring operating results.  Annualized return on average assets decreased to 0.69% for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to 0.98% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  Annualized return on average equity decreased to 6.40% for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to 8.90% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  The decrease in return on average assets and return on average equity was primarily the result of higher noninterest expenses, partially offset by higher noninterest income, and higher net interest income. Net income amounted to $569,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $754,000 for the prior year period, a decrease of $185,000 or 24.5%.  Average assets increased $24.3 million, or 7.9% to $331.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $307.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  Average equity increased $1.7 million, or 5.0%, to $35.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $33.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.



INTEREST INCOME

Interest income amounted to $4.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $4.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $538,000 or 13.2%.  The increase in loan volume complemented by an increase in the yield on such interest earning assets had the greatest impact on interest income when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.  Average loan balances increased $19.2 million and the yield increased 12 basis points when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.   Average securities increased $1.6 million when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The yield on such securities increased 54 basis points during this same period.  The average balances of federal funds sold increased $479,000 when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, resulting in an increase in interest income, which was partially offset by a 14 basis point decrease in the yield on federal funds sold.   The decrease in yield is due to the recent reduction in short-term rates implemented by the Federal Open Market Committee during the quarter ended September 30, 2007.  The increase in income on interest bearing bank balances was primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in average balance when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense amounted to $1.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $426,000 or 30.0%.  Increases in both average balances and rate on interest-bearing liabilities contributed to the increase in overall interest expense.  The average rate paid on NOW deposits increased 59 basis points when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the average balance of such accounts grew by $24.0 million.  The average balance of certificates of deposit grew by $15.9 million, and the average rate paid increased by 87 basis points when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.  The average balance of savings and money market deposits fell by $18.9 million when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.  The average balance and rate paid on borrowings remained unchanged when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income remained relatively flat at $2.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and $2.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  Net interest spread decreased 20 basis points to 3.00% as compared to 3.20% when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.  Net interest margin decreased 13 basis points to 3.54% for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to 3.67% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  The increase in average balances, which was partially offset by continued tightening of the net interest spread and margin led to an increase in net interest income when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 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 $143,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and $45,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  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 $29,000, or 116%, to $54,000, when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.  At September 30, 2007, nonperforming assets were 0.24% of total assets and nonperforming loans were 0.37% of total loans.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income amounted to $1.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $891,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $205,000 or 23.0%.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased $160,000 due to higher levels of insufficient funds charges collected as a result of changes implemented in the Overdraft Privilege Program.  Debit card fees increased $44,000 or 31.7% primarily due to a higher volume of transactions.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense amounted to $2.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $2.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $472,000 or 19.4%.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $142,000 when comparing quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.  This increase was primarily due 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.  This increase was partially offset by lower expenses related to the defined pension plan and ESOP plan which decreased $30,000 and $12,000 respectively.    Occupancy expense and equipment and furniture expense, in the aggregate, increased approximately $81,000 when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 due to higher utility costs, building maintenance and increased depreciation expense associated with the opening of the new operations center in Catskill and the opening of two new branches in Catskill and Greenport.  All other noninterest expenses, in the aggregate, increased approximately $249,000, or 35.5% when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 due to increased costs related to debit card transactions and the loyalty program, marketing costs related to deposit product promotions, and increased assessments resulting from the conversion of the bank from a New York State chartered financial institution to a Federally chartered institution.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes directly reflects the expected tax associated with the revenue generated for the given year and certain regulatory requirements.  The effective tax rate was 29.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to 29.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

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.

Mortgage loan commitments totaled $8.3 million at September 30, 2007.  The unused portion of overdraft lines of credit and premium overdraft privilege amounted to $8.5 million, the unused portion of home equity lines of credit amounted to $6.5 million, and the unused portion of commercial lines of credit amounted to $3.7 million at September 30, 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 FHLBNY.

During the current fiscal year, The Bank of Greene County expects to open a new branch location in Chatham, New York.  It is expected that this branch will be open during the third quarter of fiscal 2008.   It is expected that the Company will have sufficient cash or other means of liquidity to fund this project.

The Bank of Greene County and Greene County Commercial Bank met all applicable regulatory capital requirements at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007.  Consolidated shareholders’ equity represented 10.6% of total assets at September 30, 2007 and 10.9% of total assets of June 30, 2007.

Item 3.     Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief  Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its 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 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 report, the Company's 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 recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and in timely altering them to material information relating to the Company (or its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be filed in its periodic SEC filings.
 
There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting in connection with the quarterly evaluation that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
