Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Plan Administrator and Participants
Northfield Bank Employee Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Northfield Bank Employee Savings Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Northfield Bank Employee Savings Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in its net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented only for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Northfield Bank Employee Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008
 
1.   Description of Plan
 
    The following description is provided for general information summary purposes. Participants of the Northfield Bank Employee Savings Plan (the “Plan”) should refer to the Summary Plan document for more detailed and complete description of the Plan provisions.
 
    General
 
    The Plan is a defined contribution employee savings plan covering all eligible employees of Northfield Bank (the “Bank”). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
 
    Contributions
 
    Participating employees with one or more years of credit service who are salaried employees are entitled to contribute to the plan between 2% to 15% (subject to certain IRS limitations) of their compensation, as defined in the Plan. Contributions can be made on a before-tax basis.
 
    The Bank matches a portion of the participants before tax contributions. The Bank contributed an amount equal to one-quarter of the employee contributions on the first 6% of base compensation, as defined, contributed by eligible employees for the first three years of participation. The Bank contributed an amount equal to one-half of the employee contributions on the first 6% of base compensation, as defined, contributed by eligible employees for years subsequent to three years of participation. The Bank may make discretionary contributions which may vary in amount from year to year. There were no discretionary Bank contributions made for 2009.
 
    Vesting
 
    Plan participants are 100 percent vested in the account balance attributable to their voluntary contributions, including related earnings therein.
 
    The vesting schedule related to Bank matching contributions are as follows:
         
Years of Service   Percentage Vested
 
       
Less than 1 year
    -0- %
1 year
    20 %
2 years
    40 %
3 years
    60 %
4 years
    80 %
5 years or more
    100 %
    Forfeitures
 
    If a participant terminates employment with the Bank and is less than 100% vested in the employer contribution, the participant forfeits the non-vested portion of their employer contribution. A forfeiture will occur in the plan year that the participant receives a distribution on their entire vested account or if the participant does not receive a distribution after five consecutive one year breaks in service. Forfeitures are retained in the Plan and used to reduce future Bank contributions. Forfeitures included in plan assets amounted to $11,676 and $8,926 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
    Administrative Expenses
 
    Expenses associated with administering the Plan are generally paid by the Bank. Certain participant-specific expenses are assessed against such Participant’s individual account balance.
 
    Payment of Benefits
 
    On termination of service due to death, a participant’s vested account balance will be distributed one of three ways: as a single cash payment within 1 year of the date of termination, through a straight-line annuity, or a rollover to an individual retirement account or another qualified plan for a surviving spouse. For termination of service due to disability, retirement or other reasons a participant may receive the

4


 

Northfield Bank Employee Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008
 
    value of the vested interest in his or her account as a single cash payment, rollover to an individual retirement (IRA) or a straight-life annuity contract.
 
    Participant Loans
 
    Eligible participants may borrow up to the lesser of (1) fifty percent (50%) of the value of the employee vested account or (2) $50,000 reduced by the largest outstanding loan balance during the past 12 months. The interest rate on all such loans are fixed for the term of the loan and are based on the “prime rate’ as published in the Wall Street Journal on the first day of the month in which the loan was made. The rate shall remain in effect until the loan is repaid.
 
    Distributions
 
    During employment, a participant may make withdrawals of amounts applicable to employee and vested employer contributions, subject to certain restrictions, as defined. Participants are entitled to withdraw funds upon attaining age 59 1/2 or for financial hardship before that age. Participants may qualify for financial hardship withdrawals if they have an immediate and substantial financial need, as defined by the Plan document. Participants are limited to one withdrawal in any calendar year.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Basis of Accounting
 
    The accompanying financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
 
    Payment of Benefits
 
    Amounts paid to participants are recorded upon distribution.
 
    Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
    Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
 
    The Northfield Bancorp, Inc. Stock fund is valued at its estimated fair value based on the last reported sales price of the year for its ownership of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. common stock and the published market value in active markets for its ownership in money market mutual funds. Mutual Funds are valued on the last business day of the year based on published market values in active markets. Investments in common/collective trusts, are based on fair value of the underlying mutual funds, which are valued on the last business day of the year based on published market values in active markets. Participant loan receivable are valued at amortized cost, which approximates estimated fair value.
 
    Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for plan benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. An investment contract is a contract issued by a financial institution to provide a stated rated rate of return to the buyer of the contract for a specified period of time. A security backed contract has similar characteristics as a traditional investment contact and is comprised of two parts: the first part is fixed-income security or portfolio of fixed-income securities; the second part is a contract value guarantee (wrapper) provided by a third party. Wrappers provide contract value payments for certain participant-initiated withdrawals and transfers, a floor crediting rate, and return of fully accrued contract value at maturity. The contract value represents contributions made under contract less any participant directed withdrawals plus interest which has not been received from the issuer. The Plan invests in investment contracts through a common collective trust (Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund J). As required by the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits presents the fair value of the

5


 

Northfield Bank Employee Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008
 
    investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. The estimated fair value of the Plan’s interest in the Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund J are primarily based on the following; Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GIC) are based on the discounted present value of future cash flows at the current discount rate and security-backed contracts are based on the estimated fair value of underlying securities and the estimated fair value of the wrapper contract. The estimated fair value of the wrapper contract provided by a security-backed contract issuer is the present value of the difference between the wrapper fee and the contracted wrapper fee.
 
    In certain circumstances, the amount withdrawn from the wrapper contract would be payable at fair value rather that at contract value. These events include termination of the Plan, a material adverse change to the provisions of the Plan, if the employer elects to withdraw from the wrapper contract in order to switch to a different investment provider, or if the terms of successor plan (in the event of spin-off or sale of a division) do not meet the wrapper contract issuer’s underwriting criteria for issuance of clone wrapper contract. These events described above that could result in the payment of benefits at market value rather than at contract value are not probable in the foreseeable future.
 
    As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the average yields for GICs were as follows:
 
    Average Yields for GICs
                 
    2009   2008
 
Based on actual earnings
    3.40 %     5.29 %
Based on interest rate credited to participants
    3.32 %     4.10 %
    Actual earnings of the GICs represents the annualized earnings of all investments in the Fund, including the earnings recorded at the underlying collective trusts, divided by the fair value of all investments in the Fund at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest credit to the participants for the GICs represents the annual earnings credited to participants in the Fund, divided by the fair value of all investments in the Fund at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
    Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
    Risks and Uncertainties
 
    The Plan has various investments, directed by participants, including mutual funds, common/collective trusts, and direct holdings in common stock of Northfield Bancorp, Inc., parent company of the Bank. These investments are subject to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of the investments will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits.
 
    The Northfield Bancorp, Inc. Stock Fund is subject to various risks including concentration risk since the fund invests primarily in the common stock of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. and therefore the performance of the fund is primarily determined by the performance of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. common stock. The market price of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. common stock is dependent on a number of factors, including the financial condition and profitability of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. and Northfield Bank. In addition, the market price of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. common stock may be affected by general market conditions, market interest rates, the market for financial institutions, merger and takeover transactions, the presence of professional and other investors who purchase common stock on speculation, as well as other unforeseeable events not necessarily within the control of the board of directors of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. and the Bank.
 
    Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

Northfield Bank Employee Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008
 
    Fair Value Measurements. In April and September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which (i) provided additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, (ii) provided guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly, (iii) permitted, as a practical expedient, entities to measure the fair value of certain investments based on the net asset value per share and (iv) expanded the required disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Plan’s net assets available for Plan benefits or the changes in net assets available for Plan benefits.
 
    In May 2009 and February 2010, the FASB issued guidance which established general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this guidance established (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Plan’s net assets available for benefits or the changes in net assets available for benefits.
 
    FASB Codification. In June 2009, the FASB issued new codification standards which represent the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The codification supersedes all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards which existed prior to the codification. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the codification is non-authoritative. The new codification standards were effective for 2009.
 
    Fair Value Disclosures. In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance which expanded the required disclosures about fair value measurements. In particular, this guidance requires (i) separate disclosure of the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements along with the reasons for such transfers, (ii) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be presented separately in the reconciliation for Level 3 fair value measurements, (iii) fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and (iv) disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for (ii) above which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Plan is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the Plan’s financial statement disclosures.
 
    The Plan is not aware of other new accounting standards that were required to be adopted in 2009, or yet to be adopted, that would materially affect the Plan’s 2009 or prospective financial statements.

5.   Fair Value Measurements
 
    In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, each of the Plan’s fair value measurements are categorized in one of the following three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
    Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
    Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
    Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

6.   Tax Status
 
    The Plan has received determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated June 19, 2001, stating that the written form of the underlying prototype plan document is qualified under Section 401(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), that any employer adopting this form of the Plan will be considered to have a plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code. Therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. In April of 2010, the Plan administrator submitted a request for a new determination letter from the Internal Revenue Services for the underlying prototype plan. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
 
7.   Plan Termination
 
    The Bank has not expressed any intention to discontinue the Plan, however, it has the right under the Plan to terminate or discontinue employee contributions to the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination, plan participants will become 100% vested in their Company contribution accounts and are entitled to full distribution of such amounts.
 
8.   Party-in-Interest Transactions
 
    On December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Plan held 408,382 and 454,059 shares, respectively, of the Northfield Bancorp, Inc. Stock Fund. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Northfield Bancorp, Inc. Stock Fund held 390,617 and 441,241 shares, respectively, of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. common stock.
 
9.   Subsequent Events
 
    Subsequent events were evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, the Plan has determined that no subsequent events occurred, which would require disclosure in financial statements, except the following.
 
    On June 4, 2010, the Boards of Directors of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), and Northfield Bank (the “Bank”) and the Board of Trustees of Northfield Bancorp MHC, (the “Mutual Holding Company”) each unanimously adopted the Plan of Conversion and Reorganization of the Mutual Holding Company (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Mutual Holding Company will undertake a “second-step” conversion and cease to exist. The Bank will reorganize from a two-tier mutual holding company structure to a fully public stock holding company structure.
 
    Pursuant to the Plan, (i) the Bank will become a wholly owned subsidiary of a newly formed stock corporation (“New Holding Company”), (ii) the shares of common stock of the Company held by

    persons other than the Mutual Holding Company (whose shares will be canceled) will be converted into shares of common stock of the New Holding Company pursuant to an exchange ratio designed to preserve the percentage ownership interests of such persons (excluding shares purchased in the stock offering described below and cash received in lieu of fractional shares), and (iii) the New Holding Company will offer and sell shares of common stock representing the ownership interest of the Mutual Holding Company in a subscription offering. The Plan is subject to regulatory approval as well as the approval of the Mutual Holding Company’s members (depositors of the Bank) and the Company’s stockholders (including the approval of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock held by persons other than the Mutual Holding Company).
