to $2,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from a loss of $4,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase in net income for
the quarter was primarily due to increases of $144,000 in interest
income, and decreases of $90,000 in non-interest expense, $38,000
in provision for loan loss, and $7,000 in income taxes, which,
however, were partially offset by increases of $163,000 in interest

June 30, 2007 from $39,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The increase in net income for the six month period ended June 30,
2007 was primarily due to increases of $365,000 in interest income,
$478,000 in non-interest income, and decreases of $85,000 in income
taxes and $46,000 in provision for loan loss, which, however, were
partially offset by increases of $320,000 in interest expense on
deposits, $261,000 in interest expense on borrowings from Federal
Home Loan Bank of New York, and $47,000 in non-interest expense.
Non-interest income included proceeds of $500,000 from a life
insurance policy the Association owned on the life of the Company's
former CEO and President, Anthony J. Monteverdi. Non-interest
expense included the one time accrual of $221,000 during the six

options and restricted stock following the death of Mr. Monteverdi.
