NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(In thousands, except share data)

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Provident New York Bancorp (“Provident Bancorp” or “the Company”), Hardenburgh Abstract Title Company, Inc., which provides title searches and insurance for residential and commercial real estate, Hudson Valley Investment Advisors, LLC (“HVIA”), a registered investment advisor, Provident Risk Management, (a captive insurance company), Provident Bank (“the Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries. These subsidiaries are (i) Provident Municipal Bank (“PMB”) which is a limited-purpose, New York State-chartered commercial bank formed to accept deposits from municipalities in the Company’s market area, (ii) Provident REIT, Inc. and WSB Funding, Inc. which are real estate investment trusts that hold a portion of the Company’s real estate loans, (iii) Provest Services Corp. I, which has invested in a low-income housing partnership, (iv) Provest Services Corp. II, which has engaged a third-party provider to sell mutual funds and annuities to the Bank’s customers, and (v) companies that hold foreclosed properties acquired by the Bank. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s off-balance sheet activities are limited to loan origination commitments, loan commitments pending sale, lines of credit extended to customers and letters of credit on behalf of customers, which all occur in the ordinary course of its lending activities. In addition, the Company purchased interest rate caps with a notional value of $50,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company does not engage in off-balance sheet financing transactions or other activities involving the use of special-purpose or variable interest entities.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management without audit, but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented. Although certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented clear. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for other interim periods or the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2012. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to near-term change is the allowance for loan loss (see note 4), which reflects the application of a critical accounting policy.

Certain loan amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current fiscal year presentation.

2. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has two share based compensation plans as described below. Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans was $228, and $171, for the three months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011. There was no income tax benefit for the three months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011. Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans was $601, and $510, for the nine months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011. There was no income tax benefit for the nine months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Stock Option Plan

The Company’s shareholders approved the 2012 Employee Share Option Plan (stock option plan) on February 16, 2012. The plan permits the grant of share options to employees for up to 2,864,000 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2012. The plan allows for the following type of stock based awards to be issued: options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance based restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, deferred stock awards, performance unit awards or other stock based awards. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant; those option awards have vesting periods ranging from 2 to 5 years and have 10 year contractual terms. The Company has a policy of using shares held as treasury stock to satisfy share option exercises. Currently, the Company has a sufficient number of treasury shares to satisfy expected share option exercises.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(In thousands, except share data)

The Company’s 2004 Employee Share Option Plan (stock option plan), which is shareholder-approved, permits the grant of share options to its employees for up to 58,857 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2012. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant; those option awards have vesting periods ranging from 2 to 5 years and have 10 year contractual terms. The Company has a policy of using shares held as treasury stock to satisfy share option exercises. Currently, the Company has a sufficient number of treasury shares to satisfy expected share option exercises.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

The fair value of options granted was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as the grant date:

4. Loans

The components of the loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, were as follows:

	June 30, 2012			September 30, 2011
One-to four-family residential mortgage loans	$	357,943		$	389,765
Commercial real estate loans	906,798			703,356
Commercial business loans	207,966			209,923
Acquisition, development & construction loans	165,125			175,931
Total commercial loans	1,279,889			1,089,210
Consumer loans:
Home equity lines of credit	167,296			174,521
Homeowner loans	37,173			40,969
Other consumer loans, including overdrafts	8,726			9,334
	213,195			224,824
Total loans	1,851,027			1,703,799
Allowance for loan losses	(27,587		)	(27,917		)
Total loans, net	$	1,823,440		$	1,675,882

Total loans include net deferred loan origination fees of $(247) at June 30, 2012 and $308 net deferred loan origination costs at September 30, 2011.

Loans where management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff (other than loans held for sale) are reported at amortized cost less the allowance for loan losses. Interest income on loans is accrued on the level yield method.

A loan is placed on non-accrual status when management has determined that the borrower may likely be unable to meet contractual principal or interest obligations, or when payments are 90 days or more past due, unless well secured and in the process of collection. Accrual of interest ceases and, in general, uncollected past due interest is reversed and charged against current interest income, while interest recorded in the prior year is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans, including impaired loans, are not recognized as income unless warranted based on the borrower’s financial condition and payment record.

The Company defers nonrefundable loan origination and commitment fees, and certain direct loan origination costs, and amortizes the net amount as an adjustment of the yield over the estimated life of the loan. If a loan is prepaid or sold, the net deferred amount is recognized in the statement of income at that time. Interest and fees on loans include prepayment fees and late charges collected.

The allowance for loan losses (the “allowance”) is increased through provisions charged against current earnings and additionally by crediting amounts of recoveries received, if any, on previously charged-off loans. The allowance is reduced by charge-offs on loans, in accordance with established policies, when all efforts of collection have been exhausted. The allowance is maintained at a level estimated to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as well as other credit risk related charge-offs. The allowance is based on ongoing evaluations of the probable estimated losses inherent in the performing loan portfolio, as well as reserves for impaired loans.

The Bank’s methodology for evaluating the appropriateness of the allowance includes grouping the performing loan portfolio into loan segments based on common risk characteristics, tracking the historical levels of classified loans and delinquencies, applying economic outlook factors, assigning specific incremental reserves where necessary, providing specific reserves on impaired loans, and assessing the nature and trend of loan charge-offs. Additionally, the volume of delinquencies and non-performing loans, loan trends, concentration risks by relationship, type, and , collateral adequacy, credit policies and procedures, staffing, underwriting consistency, loan review and economic conditions are taken into consideration.

(In thousands, except share data)

The allowance for loan losses consists of the following elements: (i) specific reserves for individually impaired credits, (ii) reserves for other loans based on historical loss factors, (iii) reserves based on general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to Provident Bank, including changes in loan portfolio volume and the composition and concentrations of credit.

The Credit and Risk Management Department individually evaluates non-accrual (non-homogeneous) loans and all troubled debt restructured loans to determine if an impairment reserve is needed. The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the borrower will be unable to comply with contractual principal and interest payments due. Smaller-balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, such as residential mortgage loans and consumer loans. The value of an impaired loan is measured based upon the underlying anticipated method of payment consisting of either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent, and its payment is expected solely based on the underlying collateral. If the value of an impaired loan is less than its carrying amount, impairment is recognized through a provision to the allowance for loan losses. Loans in the commercial real estate segment are re-appraised using a summary report every six to nine months, and segments for residential mortgages, ELOCs, and Homeowner loans are also re-appraised every six to nine months primarily using drive-by appraisals because of the limitations on entering the premises for a full evaluation. All loans in real estate secured segments are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis based on information obtained by following ASU-2010-10-50, Receivables (Topic 310) guidelines. If the book value exceeds the fair market value of the collateral the difference is charged in that quarter to the allowance. This quarterly evaluation of value continues until the loan is transferred to Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) or is paid-off. If the loan is transferred to OREO, the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses is charged for any subsequent negative adjustments that occur within a reporting period or 90 days, whichever is less. Subsequent negative adjustments are charged to the Bank’s income account - All other segments that are not secured by real estate are written off to the allowance between 90 or 120 days of deliquency or sooner if deemed uncollectible such as in the case of a bankruptcy. Once charged off all subsequent collection and legal expenses are expensed.

Collateral dependent impaired loan balances are written down to the current fair value. If repayment is based upon future expected cash flows, the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate is compared to the carrying value of the loan, and any shortfall is recorded as a specific valuation allowance in the allowance for loan losses. Accrual of interest is discontinued on an impaired loan when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Cash collections on impaired loans are generally credited to the loan balance, and no interest income is recognized on these loans until the principal balance has been determined to be fully collectible.

A substantial portion of the Company’s loan portfolio is secured by residential and commercial real estate located primarily in Rockland and Orange Counties of New York and contiguous areas such as Ulster, Sullivan, Putnam and Westchester Counties of New York, Bergen County, New Jersey and New York City. The ability of the Company’s borrowers to make principal and interest payments is dependent upon, among other things, the level of overall economic activity and the real estate market conditions prevailing within the Company’s concentrated lending area. Commercial real estate and acquisition, development and construction loans are considered by management to be of somewhat greater credit risk than loans to fund the purchase of a primary residence due to the generally larger loan amounts and dependency on income production or sale of the real estate. Substantially all of these loans are collateralized by real estate located in the Company’s primary market area.

The allowances established for inherent losses on specific loans are based on a regular analysis and evaluation of the loans. Loans are evaluated based on an internal credit risk rating system for the commercial loan portfolio segments and non-performing loan status for the residential and consumer loan portfolio segments. Loans are risk-rated based on an internal credit risk grading process that evaluates, among other things: (i) the obligor’s ability to repay; (ii) the underlying collateral, if any; and (iii) the economic environment and industry in which the borrower operates. This analysis is performed at the relationship manager level for all loans, and reviewed by the Portfolio Risk Management Department. Loans with a grade that is below “Pass” grade are adversely classified. Any change in the credit risk grade of performing and/or non-performing loans affects the amount of the related allowance. Once a loan is adversely classified, the assigned relationship manager and/or a special assets officer in conjunction with the Credit and Portfolio Risk Management Department analyze the loan to determine whether the loan is impaired and, if impaired, the need to specifically allocate a portion of the allowance for loan losses to the loan. Specific valuation allowances are determined by analyzing the borrower’s ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the relative risk grade of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower’s industry, among other things. Loans identified as losses by management are charged-off. Loans are assessed for full or partial charge-off when they are between 90 and 120 days past due or sooner if deemed uncollectible. Furthermore, residential mortgage and consumer loan accounts are charged off

in accordance with regulatory requirements.

The allowance allocations for other loans (i.e.; risk rated loans that are not adversely classified and loans that are not risk rated) are calculated by applying historical loss factors for each loan portfolio segment to the applicable outstanding loan portfolio balances. Loss factors are calculated using a historical loss analysis supplemented by management judgment of general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to Provident Bank. The management analysis includes an evaluation of loan portfolio volumes, the composition and concentrations of credit, credit quality and current delinquency trends.

The allowance also contains reserves to cover inherent losses within each of Provident’s loan portfolio segments, which have not been otherwise reviewed or measured on an individual basis. Such reserves include management’s evaluation of national and local economic and business conditions, loan portfolio volumes, the composition and concentrations of credit, credit quality and delinquency trends. These reserves reflect management’s attempt to ensure that the overall allowance reflects a margin for imprecision and the uncertainty that is inherent in estimates of probable credit losses.

A loan is impaired when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans substantially consist of non-performing loans and accruing and performing troubled debt restructured loans. The recorded investment of an impaired loan includes the unpaid principal balance, negative escrow and any tax in arrears.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

Troubled debt restructurings are renegotiated loans for which concessions have been granted to the borrower that the Company would not have otherwise granted and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy. The modification of the terms of such loans include one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan. Modifications involving a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan were for period ranging from 3 months to 30 years. Modifications involving an extension of the maturity date were for periods ranging from 3 months to 30 years. Restructured loans are recorded in accrual status when the loans have demonstrated performance, generally evidenced by six months of payment performance in accordance with the restructured terms, or by the presence of other significant items.

Not all loans that are restructured as a TDR are classified as non accrual before the restructuring occurs. If the subsequent TDR designation of these accruing loans has been assigned because of a below market interest rate or an extension of time, the new restructured loan will remain on accrual. As noted all other loan restructures requires a minimum of 6 months of performance in accordance with the regulatory guideline.

Troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2012 were as follows:

The Company has committed to lend additional amounts totaling up to $4,225 as of June 30, 2012, and September 30, 2011, to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings. The commitments to lend on the restructured debt is contingent on clear title and a third party inspection to verify completion of work and is associated with loans that are considered to be performing.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the nine months ending June 30, 2012:

		Recorded Investment
	Number	Pre- Modification		Post - Modification
Restructured Loans:
Real estate—residential mortgage	5	$	1,525	$	1,295
Real estate—commercial mortgage	3	1,956		2,351
Acquisition, development and construction	3	2,849		2,849
Total restructured loans	11	$	6,330	$	6,495

The troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $134 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. There were no charge offs as a result of the above troubled debt restructurings.

A loan is considered to be in default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. The following table presents by class loans that were modified as troubled debt restructurings during the last twelve months that have subsequently defaulted during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012:

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes all loans. This analysis is performed on a monthly basis on all criticized/classified loans. The Company uses the following definitions of risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

5. Fair value measurements

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values.

Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

Level 3 – Valuation is derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that the market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

When available, the Company attempts to use quoted market prices in active markets to determine fair value and classifies such

26

PROVIDENT NEW YORK BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(In thousands, except share data)

items as Level 1 or Level 2. If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, fair value is often determined using model-based techniques incorporating various assumptions including interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit losses. Assets and liabilities valued using model-based techniques are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the lowest level classification of an input that is considered significant to the overall valuation.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at estimated fair value.

Investment securities available for sale

The majority of the Company’s available for sale investment securities have been valued by reference to prices for similar securities or through model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable and, therefore, such valuations have been classified as Level 2. U.S. Treasuries are actively traded and therefore have been classified as Level 1 valuations. As of October 1, 2010 the company determined that government sponsored agencies totaling $346,019 previously reported as Level 1 securities were not classified based on the lowest level within the fair value hierarchy and deemed it appropriate to transfer the securities to Level 2.

The Company utilizes an outside vendor to obtain valuations for its traded securities as well as information received from a third party investment adviser. The majority of the Company’s available for sale investment securities (mortgage backed securities issued by US government corporations and government sponsored entities) have been valued by reference to prices for similar securities or through model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable (Level 2). The Company utilizes prices from a leading provider of financial market data and compares them to dealer indicative bids from the Company’s external investment adviser. The Company does not make adjustments to these prices unless it is determined there is limited trading activity. For securities where there is limited trading activity (private label CMO’s) and less observable valuation inputs, the Company has classified such valuations as Level 3.

The Company reviewed the volume and level of activity for its available for sale securities to identify transactions which may not be orderly or reflective of significant activity and volume. Although estimated prices were generally obtained for such securities, there has been a decline in the volume and level of activity in the market for its private label mortgage backed securities. The market assumptions regarding credit adjusted cash flows and liquidity influences on discount rates were difficult to observe at the individual bond level. Because of the inactivity in the markets and the lack of observable valuation inputs the Company has classified the valuation of privately issued residential mortgage backed securities as Level 3. As of June 30, 2012, these securities have an amortized cost of $4,844 and a fair value of $4,635. In determining the fair value of these securities the Company utilized unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions regarding the inputs that market participants would use in pricing these securities in an orderly market. Significant increases (decreases) in any of the unobservable inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement of the securities. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the default rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. Present value estimated cash flow models were used discounted at a the securities rate reflective of similarly structured securities in an orderly market. The resultant prices were averaged with prices obtained from two independent third parties to arrive at the fair value as of June 30, 2012. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer ultimately determines the fair value of level 3 investment securities. These securities have a weighted average coupon rate of 2.91%, a weighted average life of 5.67 years, a weighted average one month prepayment history of 7.56 years and a weighted average twelve month default rate of 3.09% CDR. It was determined that two of these securities with a carrying amount of $4,192 and an amortized cost of $4,397 had other than temporary losses which resulted in a $44 other than temporary impairment charge for the nine months ending June 30, 2012. These two securities have a total of $119 in other than temporary charges. The calculation of the other than temporary charges is determined by performing a present value of credit loss using the securities book yields of 3.24% and 2.88%.

B3	1,723		1,616
Total private label CMOs	$	4,844	$	4,635

Derivatives

The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using current market terms (including interest rates and fees), the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit worthiness of the counter party as of the measurement date (Level 2). The Company’s derivatives consist of two interest rate caps and six interest rate swaps (see note 9).

Commitments to sell real estate loans

The Company enters into various commitments to sell real estate loans into the secondary market. Such commitments are considered to be derivative financial instruments and therefore are carried at estimated fair value on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The estimated fair values of these commitments were generally calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell to certain government sponsored agencies. The fair values of these commitments generally result in a Level 2 classification. The fair values of these commitments are not considered material.

The following categories of financial assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances:

Loans Held for Sale and Impaired Loans

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets (Level 2).

Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights retained. The carrying value of mortgage loans sold is reduced by the amount allocated to the value of the servicing right which is its fair value. Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.

The Company may record nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of these loans. Nonrecurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral dependent loans calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310 – Receivables, when establishing the allowance for loan losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan and, as a result, the carrying value of the loan less the calculated valuation amount does not necessarily represent the fair value of the loan. Real estate collateral is valued using independent appraisals or other indications of value based upon recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable by market participants. Any fair value adjustments for loans categorized here are classified as Level 3. Estimates of fair value used for other collateral supporting commercial loans generally are based on assumptions not observable in the market place and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and their carrying values are adjusted as needed. Loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements were $55,700 and $51,155 which equals the carrying value less the allowance for loan losses allocated to these loans at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. Changes in fair value recognized on provisions on loans held by the Company were $2,579 and $662 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

When valuing impaired loans that are collateral dependent, the Company charges off the difference between the recorded investment in the loan and the appraised value, which is generally less than six months old, but any event no more than nine months old. In addition, an impairment reserve is established equal to 10% of the appraised value to take into account the inability of the Bank to dispose of the property at the appraised value, In addition, a reserve for estimated costs to dispose of the asset is established, in a range on residential loans including ELOCs and homeowners is 7% to 13%, the range for commercial mortgages, and ADC including land loans is 12% to 22%. Loans that are cash flow dependent are charged off for the difference between the net present values calculated at the effective note rate of the probable cash flows to be received from the borrower. In general, we establish an impairment reserve for 10% of the present value to cover contingencies. Nearly all our impaired loans are considered collateral dependent.

A summary of impaired loans at June 30, 2012 measured at estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis were as follows:

Mortgage servicing rights

When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.

The Company utilizes the amortization method to subsequently measure the carrying value of its servicing asset. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 860-Transfers and Servicing, the Company must record impairment charges on a nonrecurring basis, when the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. To estimate the fair value of servicing rights the Company utilizes a third party vendor, which on a quarterly basis, considers the market prices for similar assets and the present value of expected future cash flows associated with the servicing rights. Assumptions utilized include estimates of the cost of servicing, loan default rates, an appropriate discount rate and prepayment speeds. The determination of fair value of servicing rights for impairment purposes is considered a Level 3 valuation. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights at June 30, 2012 was $1.4

million Changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights, which required an impairment charge and were subsequently recognized in income, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $3 and $0, respectively. Changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights, which required an impairment charge and were subsequently recognized in income, for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, were $131 and $0, respectively. These amounts are considered immaterial for any previous periods.

Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans

Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, which establishes the new cost basis. These loans are subsequently accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell primarily comprised of commercial and residential real property and upon initial recognition, were re-measured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the foreclosed asset. The fair value is generally determined using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the market place. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments have generally been classified as Level 3. Appraisals are reviewed and verified by the Chief Credit Officer and/or Chief Risk Officer. Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement were $7,292 and $5,391 at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. There were $422 and $229 changes in fair value recognized through income for those foreclosed assets held by the Company during the three months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There were $684 and $329 changes in fair value recognized through income for those foreclosed assets held by the Company during the nine months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Assets taken in foreclosure of loans of $5,828 were transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 as of March 31, 2012. The valuation of these properties involves judgments of the individual appraisers as well as adjustments for differences due to the availability of data on the properties, which classifies as Level 3.

Fair values of financial instruments

FASB Codification Topic 825: Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information for those financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, whether or not such financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition for interim and annual periods. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

Quoted market prices are used to estimate fair values when those prices are available, although active markets do not exist for many types of financial instruments. Fair values for these instruments must be estimated by management using techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis and comparison to similar instruments. These estimates are highly subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters, such as the amount and timing of future cash flows and the selection of discount rates that appropriately reflect market and credit risks. Changes in these judgments often have a material effect on the fair value estimates. Since these estimates are made as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material near-term changes. Fair values disclosed in accordance with FASB Topic 825 do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from the sale of a large volume of a particular financial instrument, nor do they reflect possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs.

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities (none of which were held for trading purposes) as of June 30, 2012:

The following paragraphs summarize the principal methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used by management to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments.

(a) Cash and due from banks

The carrying value of cash and due from banks approximates their fair value and are classified as Level 1.

(b) Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value in accordance with GAAP and are classified as Level 2.

(c) Loans

Fair values were estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. For valuation purposes, the total loan portfolio was segregated into adjustable-rate and fixed-rate categories. Fixed-rate loans were further segmented by type, such as residential mortgage, commercial mortgage, commercial business and consumer loans. Loans were also segmented by maturity dates. Fair values were estimated by discounting scheduled future cash flows through estimated maturity using a discount rate equivalent to the current market rate on loans that are similar with regard to collateral, maturity and the type of borrower. The discounted value of the cash flows was reduced by a credit risk adjustment based on loan categories. Based on the current composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, as well as past experience and current economic conditions and trends, the future cash flows were adjusted by prepayment assumptions that shortened the estimated remaining time to maturity and therefore affected the fair value estimates resulting in a Level 3 classification. Valuation for impaired loans has been described previously. The methods utilized to estimate fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

(d) FHLB of New York Stock

The redeemable carrying amount of these securities with limited marketability approximates their fair value and as such are classified as Level 2

(e) Deposits and Mortgage Escrow Funds

In accordance with FASB Codification Topic 825, deposits with no stated maturity (such as savings, demand and money market deposits) were assigned fair values equal to the carrying amounts payable on demand and as such are classified as Level 1. Certificates of deposit and mortgage escrow funds were segregated by account type and original term, and fair values were estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows. The discount rate for each account grouping was equivalent to the current market rates for deposits of similar type and maturity resulting in a Level 2 classification.

These fair values do not include the value of core deposit relationships that comprise a significant portion of the Company’s deposit base. Management believes that the Company’s core deposit relationships provide a relatively stable, low-cost funding source that has a substantial value separate from the deposit balances.

(f) Borrowings

Fair values of FHLB and other borrowings were estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows. A discount rate was utilized for each outstanding borrowing equivalent to the then-current rate offered on borrowings of similar type and maturity resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(g) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(h) Other Financial Instruments

The other financial assets and liabilities listed in the preceding table have estimated fair values that approximate the respective carrying amounts because the instruments are payable on demand or have short-term maturities and present relatively low credit risk and interest rate risk.

The fair values of the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments were estimated based on current market terms (including interest rates and fees), considering the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit worthiness of the counterparties. At June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the estimated fair values of these instruments approximated the related carrying amounts, which were insignificant.

The Company, as of June 30, 2009 adopted the provisions under FASB ASC Topic 320 – Investments- Debt and Equity Securities which requires a forecast of recovery of cost basis through cash flow collection on all debt securities with a fair value less than its amortized cost less any current period credit loss with an assertion on the lack of intent to sell (or requirement to sell prior to recovery of cost basis). Based on a review of each of the securities in the investment portfolio in accordance with FASB ASC 320 at June 30, 2012, the Company concluded that it expects to recover the amortized cost basis of its investments on all but two private label collateralized mortgage-backed securities (“CMO’s”) which incurred impairment charges of $44 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Total cumulative impairment charges on the two private label CMO’s total $119. As of June 30, 2012, the Company does not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that it would be required to sell any of its securities with unrealized losses prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period applicable credit losses.

The losses related to privately issued residential CMO’s were recognized in light of deterioration of housing values in the residential real estate market and a rise in delinquencies and charge-offs of underlying mortgage loans collateralizing those securities. The Company uses a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis to provide an estimate of an OTTI loss. Inputs to the discount model included known defaults and interest deferrals, projected additional default rates, projected additional deferrals of interest, over collateralization tests, interest coverage tests and other factors. Expected default and deferral rates were weighted toward the near future to reflect the current adverse economic environment affecting the banking industry. The discount rate was based upon the yield expected from the related securities.

Substantially all of the unrealized losses at June 30, 2012 relate to investment grade securities and are attributable to changes in market interest rates subsequent to purchase. A total of 29 available for sale securities were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and three securities for 12 months or longer. For securities with fixed maturities, there are no securities past due or securities for which the Company currently believes it is not probable that it will collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the investment.

Within the CMO category of the available for sale portfolio there are four individual private label CMO’s that have an amortized cost of $4,844 and a fair value (carrying value) of $4,635 as of June 30, 2012. Two of the four securities are considered to be other than temporarily impaired as noted above and are below investment grade. The impaired private label CMO’s have an amortized cost of $4,397 and a fair value of $4,192 at June 30, 2012. There were $54 and $31 of unrealized gains recorded in other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 for the two CMO's that were deemed other than temporarily impaired. There were $5 and $50 of unrealized gains recorded in other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 for the two CMO's that were deemed other than temporarily impaired.The remaining two securities are rated at or above Ba1 and are performing as of June 30, 2012 and are expected to perform based on current information.

In determining whether there existed other than temporary impairment on these securities the Company evaluated the present value of cash flows expected to be collected based on collateral specific assumptions, including credit risk and liquidity risk, and determined that no losses are expected. The Company will continue to evaluate its portfolio in this manner on a quarterly basis.

All of the unrealized losses on held to maturity securities at June 30, 2012 are attributable to changes in market interest rates and credit risk spreads subsequent to purchase. There were no securities with unrealized losses that individually had significant dollar amounts at June 30, 2012. There were no held-to-maturity securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months and 3 securities in a continuous unrealized loss for less than 12 months. For securities with fixed maturities, the Company currently believes it is probable that it will collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the investment. As of June 30, 2012, the Company does not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that it would be required to sell any of its securities with unrealized losses prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period applicable credit losses.

As a member of the FHLB of New York, the Bank may borrow in the form of term and overnight borrowings up to the amount of eligible mortgages and securities that have been pledged as collateral under a blanket security agreement. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the Bank had pledged mortgages totaling $573,832 and $464,900 respectively. The Bank had also pledged securities with carrying amounts of $219,025 and $206,829 as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, to secure borrowings. As of June 30, 2012, the Bank may increase its borrowing capacity by pledging securities and mortgages not required to be pledged for other purposes with a market value of $478,702. FHLB advances are subject to prepayment penalties, if repaid prior to maturity.

FHLB borrowings which are putable quarterly at the discretion of the FHLB (includes both advance and repurchase agreements) were $200,000 as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. These borrowings have a weighted average remaining term to the contractual maturity dates of approximately 4.81 years and 5.56 years and weighted average interest rates of 4.23 percent at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. An additional $20,000 is putable on a one time basis after an initial lockout period beginning in February 2013 with an interest rate of 3.57 percent.

In November 2011, the Company restructured $5,000 of its FHLBNY advances which had a weighted average rate of 4.04 percent and a duration of 1.5 years, into new borrowings with a weighted average rate of 2.37 percent net of prepayment penalties, duration of 1.6 years. Prepayment penalties of $278 associated with the modifications are being amortized to maturity on a level yield basis.

9. Derivatives

The Company purchased two interest rate caps in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to assist in offsetting a portion of interest rate exposure should short term rate increases lead to rapid increases in general levels of market interest rates on deposits. These caps are linked to LIBOR and have strike prices of 3.5 percent and 4.0 percent. These caps are stand alone derivatives and therefore changes in fair value are reported in current period earnings; the amount for June 30, 2012 and 2011 is a fair value loss of $57 and a fair value loss of $27, respectively. The fair value of the interest rate caps at June 30, 2012 is reflected in other assets with a corresponding credit (charge) to income recorded as a gain (loss) to non-interest income.

The Company acts as an interest rate swap counterparty with certain commercial customers and manages this risk by entering into corresponding and offsetting interest rate risk agreements with third parties. The swaps are considered a derivative instrument and must be carried at fair value. As the swaps are not a designated qualifying hedge, the change in fair value is recognized in current earnings, with no offset from any other instrument. There was no net gain or loss recorded in earnings during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Interest rate swaps are recorded on our consolidated statements of financial condition as an other asset or other liability at estimated fair value.

At June 30, 2012 summary information regarding these derivatives is presented below:

	June 30, 2012
	Notional Amount			Average Maturity	Weighted Average Rate Fixed		Weighted Average Variable Rate	Fair Value
Interest Rate Caps	$	50,000		2.43	3.75	%	NA	$	8

Customer interest rate swap	(38,576		)	6.27	4.33		1 m Libor + 2.34	(2,186		)

At September 30, 2011, summary information regarding these derivatives is presented below:

	September 30, 2011
	Notional Amount			Average Maturity	Weighted Average Rate Fixed		Weighted Average Variable Rate	Fair Value
Interest Rate Caps	$	50,000		3.18	3.75	%	NA	$	65
3rd party interest rate swap	12,009			10.23	5.28		1 m Libor + 2.15	1,114
Customer interest rate swap	(12,009		)	10.23	5.28		1 m Libor + 2.15	(1,114		)

The Company enters into various commitments to sell real estate loans into the secondary market. Such commitments are considered to be derivative financial instruments and, therefore are carried at estimated fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of these commitments are not considered material.

10. Earnings Per Common Share

The number of shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share excludes unallocated ESOP shares, shares held to fund deferred compensation plans, and unvested shares of restricted stock that have not been released to participants.

Common stock equivalent shares are incremental shares (computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive stock options and unvested RRP shares were exercised or became vested during the periods.

As of June 30, 2011, 1,862,328 and 1,890,218 weighted average shares were anti-dilutive for the three month period and nine month period, respectively. Anti-dilutive shares are not included in the determination of diluted earnings per share.

11. Guarantor’s Obligations Under Guarantees

Most letters of credit issued by, or on behalf of the Company are standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are commitments issued by the Company on behalf of its customer/obligor in favor of a beneficiary that specify an amount the Company can be called upon to pay upon the beneficiary’s compliance with the terms of the letter of credit. These commitments are primarily issued in favor of local municipalities to support the obligor’s completion of real estate development projects. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $17,927 in outstanding letters of credit, of which $5,290 are cash secured and $3,272 were secured by collateral. The carrying values of these obligations are considered immaterial.

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

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

We make statements in this Report, and we may from time to time make other statements, regarding our outlook or expectations for earnings, revenues, expenses and/or other financial, business or strategic matters regarding or affecting Provident Bancorp that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project” and other similar words and expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.” These statements are not historical facts, but instead represent our current expectations, plans or forecasts and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the management and the information available to management at the time that these disclosures were prepared.

Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not assume any duty and do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. Because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those that we anticipated in our forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from our historical performance.

The following factors, among others, could cause our future results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions expressed in the forward-looking statements:

• legislative and regulatory changes such as the Dodd-Frank Act and its implementing regulations that adversely affect our business including changes in regulatory policies and principles or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules;

• a further deterioration in general economic conditions, either nationally, internationally, or in our market areas, including extended declines in the real estate market and constrained financial markets;

• the effects of and changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the U.S. Government;

• our ability to make accurate assumptions and judgments about an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses and the collectivity of our loan portfolio, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs that may lead to increased losses and non-performing assets in our loan portfolio, result in our allowance for loan losses not being adequate to cover actual losses, and require us to materially increase our reserves;

• our use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation;

• changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources;

• computer systems on which we depend could fail or experience a security breach, implementation of new technologies may not be successful; and our ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes can affect our ability to meet customer needs;

• changes in other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our markets,

45

operations, pricing, products, services and fees;

• our Company’s ability to successfully implement growth, expense reduction and other strategic initiatives and to complete merger and acquisition activities and realize expected strategic and operating efficiencies associated with such matters;

• our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing and managing our business; and

• the timing and occurrence or non-occurrence of events that may be subject to circumstances beyond our control.

Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K under “Item 1A, Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Report or in other filings with the SEC. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Overview and Management Strategy

We operate as an independent community bank that offers a broad range of customer-focused financial services as an alternative to large regional, multi-state and international banks in our market area, which is the greater New York City market place. The financial condition and results of operations of Provident New York Bancorp are discussed herein on a consolidated basis with the Bank. Reference to Provident New York Bancorp or the Company may signify the Bank, depending on the context.

We specialize in the delivery of service solutions to business owners, their families and consumers within our marketplace through a team based approach. We focus our efforts on core deposit generation, especially transaction accounts and quality loan growth with emphasis on growing commercial loan balances. We seek to maintain a disciplined pricing strategy on deposit generation that will allow us to compete for high quality loans while maintaining an appropriate spread over funding costs. The Company's strategic objectives include growing revenue and earnings by expanding client acquisitions, and improving credit metrics and efficiency levels. To achieve these goals we will continue to focus on high value client segments, expand delivery channels and distribution to increase client acquisitions, execute effectively by creating a highly productive performance culture, reduce operating costs, and protectively manage enterprise risk.

The Company’s results for the first nine months year to date fiscal 2012 reflected the effects of the implementation of our strategies as a result of our focus on strong, consistent execution. During first nine months of fiscal 2012 we restructured the organization around markets and have hired or promoted leadership to assume the roles of Market Presidents. We also announced our expansion into New York City which follows through on our strategic objective of expanding our reach into the greater New York City marketplace. In addition we have hired 6 seasoned commercial banking teams for the New York City marketplace, all with proven track records of delivering superior service to their clients, as well as restructured the legacy market teams bringing the total teams to 16. Along with the restructuring we have introduced a measurement and accountability system for the teams that align incentives with shareholder objectives.

In line with our strategies, during the month of January, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Gotham Bank of New York. Gotham Bank provides an attractive platform in the New York City marketplace from which to grow our franchise. The Company received federal regulatory approval for the acquisition of Gotham Bank of New York during July of 2012, and expects to complete the transaction during August of 2012. The impact to Provident New York Bancorp's tangible book value is expected to move from $7.39 per share at June 30, 2012, to approximately $7.15 per share after the consummation of the Gotham transaction in August 2012. The tier 1 leverage ratio as of June 30 for Provident Bank was 8.7%, and is expected to be approximately 8.4% to 8.5% after the acquisition of Gotham and the consummation of the Company's capital raise. The Company has also launched a new Wealth Management Services designed to provide a full array of wealth management options to our growing and sophisticated client base. This service will fill a key need for our clients.

We continue to experience pressure on net interest income as low rates continue to cause many assets to prepay or to be called. Many of our liabilities are at rates that are either fixed or already very low, so maintaining net interest margin is a function of loan growth, growth in non-interest bearing deposits and certain core deposits, and continuation of our deposit pricing discipline. Current market interest rates remained low, and may have an affect on our reinvestment opportunities.

We continue to work through the criticized and classified portfolio, seeking positive resolution on existing problem credits. The loan portfolio demonstrates an improving credit risk profile as nearly all originations are at the desirable internal risk rating of five or better. The percentage of risk rated loans of five or better increased from 71 percent at September 30, 2011 to 79 percent at June 30, 2012. The ADC portfolio continues to decline in size as we have deemphasized this business and repayments continue. The increase seen in non performing loans at June 30, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011, was due primarily to negative migration in the ADC portfolio and residential loans. Decreases in non performing loans were

46

experienced in all other categories. The ADC portfolio continues to be the focus of our efforts. We have active plans for resolution, and we believe that pursuing these plans, rather than selling the assets, will produce better results for our stockholders. Virtually all of our non performing loans are real estate secured and are marked to current values every six to twelve months.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011

Total assets as of June 30, 2012 increased $12.6 million or 0.4 percent from September 30, 2011 primarily due to increases in investment securities and gross loans. These increases were offset by a decrease in cash and due from banks, as of September 30, 2011 balances historically reflect deposits of municipal tax collections that are drawn down over time to fund government expenditures.

Net loans as of June 30, 2012 increased $147.6 million or 8.8 percent to $1.8 billion from September 30, 2011. Commercial real estate loans were the sole contributor with an increase of $203.4 million. Acquisition, Development and Construction loans (ADC) declined $10.8 million to $165.1 million compared to $175.9 million at September 30, 2011, a reflection of the Company’s de-emphasis on originations of this type of loan. Consumer loans decreased by $11.6 million, and residential loans decreased by $31.8 million as of June 30, 2012. Total loan originations, including loans originated for sale were $604.4 million as of June 30, 2012, while repayments were $392.2 million. Loan loss reserves decreased $330,000 for the period ending June 30, 2012 to $27.6 million compared to September 30, 2011.

Total securities increased by $35.5 million, to $885.4 million at June 30, 2012 from $849.9 million at September 30, 2011. Securities purchases were $422.0 million, sales of securities were $235.6 million, and maturities, calls, and repayments were $159.2 million. Unrealized gains increased the carrying values of securities by $903,000. Securities gains and other than temporarily impaired losses were $2.4 million and net amortization of securities were $7.2 million the period ended June 30, 2012.

Deposits as of June 30, 2012 were $2.3 billion, an increase of $35.4 million, or 1.5 percent, from September 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2012 transaction accounts were 39.8 percent of deposits, or $927.2 million compared to $1.1 billion or 45.9 percent of deposits at September 30, 2011. Deposits received from municipalities for tax payments were approximately $284.0 million at September 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2012 savings deposits were $476.3 million, an increase of $46.5 million or 10.8 percent. Money market accounts increased $164.0 million or 32.2 percent to $673.5 million at June 30, 2012. Certificate of deposit accounts decreased by $48.6 million or 16.0 percent.

Borrowings decreased by $60.9 million or 16.2 percent, from September 30, 2011 to $314.2 million primarily due to the Company’s FDIC guaranteed borrowing maturing during February 2012. The Company completed restructuring of $5.0 million of FHLBNY advances during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 which had a weighted average rate of 4.04 percent and duration of 1.5 years, into new borrowings with a weighted average rate of 2.37 percent, and a duration of 1.6 years. Prepayment penalties of $278,500 associated with the modifications are being amortized into interest expense over the modification period on a level yield basis

Stockholders’ equity increased $13.5 million from September 30, 2011 to $444.7 million at June 30, 2012. The increase was mainly due to an increase in retained earnings of $10.8 million and accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.5 million.

As of June 30, 2012 the Company had authorization to purchase up to an additional 776,713 shares of common stock. Bank Tier I capital to assets was 8.7 percent at June 30, 2012. Tangible capital as a percentage of tangible assets at the consolidated company level was 9.4 percent.

Credit Quality (Also see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements)

For the nine months ended June 30, 2012, our loan portfolio grew as a result of growth in our CRE portfolio. Loans in this category have performed well through the recent recession and the current sluggish economic environment. Our NPLs increased $3.9 million to $44.5 million resulting from increases in our ADC, residential mortgage, and equity loan portfolios. During the year delinquencies decreased from $48.4 million to $47.5 million. Our net charge-offs were $7.4 million, which exceeded our provision of $7.1 million as many loans that resulted in a charge off had already been reserved for a portion of the losses we recorded. Since the beginning of the fiscal year our substandard loans decreased from $94.0 million to $88.4 million, while special mention loans increased from $23.0 million to $37.6 million. The primary reason for the increase in the special mention loans is due to the addition of one ADC relationship.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, our loan portfolio grew $52.1 million, driven by growth in our Commercial Real Estate portfolio. The growth in this portfolio fully accounts for the growth in the portfolio as a whole. Nonperforming Loans

47

decreased $7.5 million during the quarter primarily driven by the upgrade to performing status based on payment performance of a $4.9 million relationship in the ADC category. In addition, $2.3 million of previously nonperforming loans were added to the REO portfolio, leaving REO at $7.3 million at June 30, 2012, up from $5.8 million at March 31, 2012.

Overall delinquent loans decreased $11.7 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2012, driven by a substantial improvement in all categories of loans 30 - 89 days late of $4.3 million. Improvement of $3.2 million in non accrual loans in commercial real estate and $3.0 million in ADC non accrual loans was also experienced when compared to the linked quarter. At June 30, loans in this delinquency category stood at only $3.0 million, while loans 90 days or more past due totaled $44.5 million. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were $2.5 million, down from $3.3 million in the linked quarter. The majority of charge-offs are due to write-downs on our real estate secured impaired loans, as we are still experiencing appraisals that show declining values of residential real estate in our marketplace.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $6.2 million or $0.17 per diluted share, an increase of $4.3 million compared to $1.9 million or $0.05 per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal 2011. The primary factors were a higher net interest income of $1.3 million or 5.6 percent, an increase in non interest income of $2.8 million or 53.0 percent resulting mainly from gains on sales of securities and loans, offset by a lower provision for loan loss of $1.3 million or 35.8 percent and decreased non interest expense of $1.5 million or 6.7 percent due mostly from charges incurred during the third quarter of 2011 related to the change in the CEO when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $24.1 million, an increase of $1.3 million or 5.6 percent, compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2011. Gross interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of $29.2 million increased $278,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in fiscal 2011. Interest expense declined by $867,000 mainly in borrowings of $636,000. A decrease in interest expense on borrowings accounted for $636,000 of this decline as a result of the Company’s guaranteed FDIC borrowing maturing in February 2012 and interest expense on certificates of deposit of declined $268,000. There was a volume driven increase in net interest income with margin compression due to lower rates.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company records provisions for loan losses, which are charged to earnings, in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level necessary to absorb incurred loan losses inherent in the existing portfolio. The Company recorded $2.3 million in loan loss provisions for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to $3.6 million at June 30, 2011 a decrease of $1.3 million. Refer to the credit quality section for a discussion on net charge-offs and nonperforming loans. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were $2.5 million, which included $121,000 of specific reserves recorded in prior periods, compared to net charge-offs of $4.3 million for the same period in 2011.

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased by $2.8 million or 52.9 percent to $8.0 million over the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The primary driver of the increase was higher gains on sales of securities of $1.9 million and increasedgains on sales of loans of $569,000.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by 6.6 percent or $1.5 million, to $21.2 million compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease was due to retirement benefit settlement charges of $1.5 million which were incurred during the third quarter of 2011 relating to the change in CEO, lower advertising and promotion of $415,000,

50

decreased compensation and employee benefits of $277,000. These expense reductions were offset in part by merger related costs of $451,000 which were incurred related to the acquisition of Gotham Bank during the third quarter of 2012, and increases in FDIC insurance and regulatory assessments of $195,000.

Income Tax increased $2.6 million to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to a tax credit of $187,000 for the period ended June 30, 2011. The effective tax rate was 27.7 percent for the period ended June 30, 2012 compared to (10.7) at June 30, 2011. The difference is primarily due to an increased write-off of credits in 2011, as well as larger tax-exempt municipal security interest relative to pre-tax income for fiscal 2011.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011

Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was $17.6 million or $0.47 per diluted share, an increase of $5.4 million compared to $12.2 million or $0.33 per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal 2011. The primary factors were a higher net interest income of $2.7 million or 4.0 percent, an increase in non interest income of $2.2 million or 10.7 percent, offset by a lower provision for loan loss of $688,000 or 8.8 percent compared to the nine months ended June 30,2011. non interest expense decreased $2.6 million or 3.9 percent when compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2011.

Interest expense declined by $2.6 million with the decrease mainly in certificates of deposit of $893,000 and borrowings of $1.7 million. The average costs of borrowings decreased due to the Company’s FDIC guaranteed borrowing maturing February 2012.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company records provisions for loan losses, which are charged to earnings, in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level necessary to absorb probable incurred loan losses inherent in the existing portfolio. The Company recorded $7.1 million in loan loss provisions for the nine months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $7.8 million or 8.8 percent less for the same period in fiscal 2011. Refer to the credit quality section for a discussion on net charge-offs and nonperforming loans. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 were $7.4 million, which included $3.5 million of specific reserves recorded in prior periods.

Non-interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 increased $2.2 million or 10.7 percent to $23.1 million. The increase was mainly attributable to a higher net gain on sale of securities of $1.8 million and an increase in gain on sale of loans $607,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in fiscal 2011.

Non-interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by 3.9 percent, to $63.2 million.

Income Tax increased $2.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $3.6 million or 77.2 percent for the period ended June 30, 2011. The effective tax rate 26.8 percent at June 30, 2012 compared to 22.9 percent for the same period in fiscal 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The overall objective of our liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash funds to meet all financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. We manage liquidity in order to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.

Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, wholesale borrowings, the proceeds from maturing securities and short-term investments, and the proceeds from the sales of loans and securities. The scheduled amortizations of loans and securities, as well as proceeds from borrowings, are predictable sources of funds. Other funding sources, however, such as deposit inflows, mortgage prepayments and mortgage loan sales are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in our consolidated financial statements. Our primary investing activities are the origination of commercial real estate and residential one- to four-family loans, and the purchase of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities. During the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, our loan originations totaled $604.4 million and $447.8 million, respectively. Purchases of securities available for sale totaled $338.5 million and $505.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Purchases of securities held to maturity totaled $83.6 million and $6.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These activities were funded primarily by sales of securities, deposit growth, borrowings and by principal repayments on loans and securities. Loan origination commitments totaled $23.0 million at June 30, 2012, and consisted of $12.9 million at adjustable or variable rates and $10.1 million at fixed rates. Unused lines of credit granted to customers were $244.6 million at June 30, 2012. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments and lines of credit.

The Company’s investments in BOLI are considered illiquid and are therefore classified as other assets. Earnings from BOLI are derived from the net increase in cash surrender value of the BOLI contracts and the proceeds from the payment on the insurance policies, if any. The recorded value of BOLI contracts totaled $58.5 million and $57.0 million at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

Deposit flows are generally affected by the level of market interest rates, the interest rates and other conditions on deposit products offered by our banking competitors, and other factors. The net increase in total deposits was $35.4 million and decrease of $44.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Based upon prior experience and our current pricing strategy, management believes that a significant portion of deposits will remain with us, although we may be required to compete for many of the maturing certificates in a highly competitive environment.

Credit spreads narrowed steadily during the past year and many are very near historically low levels. Furthermore, the extremely low interest rate environment caused our deposits to remain at elevated levels which have also strengthened our liquidity position. Many banks are experiencing a situation similar to ours resulting in the industry liquidity to be at significantly elevated levels. The preference of depositors to stay short could lead to potential liquidity reductions in the future if we do not raise rates to retain these funds.

We generally remain fully invested and utilize additional sources of funds through Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB”) advances and other sources of which $314.2 million was outstanding at June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, we had the ability to borrow an additional $478.7 million under our credit facilities with the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Bank may borrow up to an additional $195.9 million by pledging securities not required to be pledged for other purposes as of June 30, 2012. Further, at June 30, 2012 we had $50.4 million in Brokered Deposits (including certificates of deposit accounts registry service (CDAR’s) reciprocal CD’s of $1.4 million) and have relationships with several brokers to utilize these low cost sources of funding should conditions warrant further sources of funds.

The Company has an effective shelf registration covering $75 million of debt and equity securities that may be used, subject to Board authorization and market conditions, to issue equity or debt securities at our discretion. While we seek to preserve flexibility with respect to cash requirements, there can be no assurance that market conditions would permit us to sell securities on acceptable terms at any given time or at all.

Provident Bank has committed to the OCC to have an 8% Tier 1 leverage ratio upon consummation of the Gotham merger and thereafter to maintain capital at comparable levels consistent with its capital management policy. Consistent with these commitments and to help support the acquisition of Gotham and our own future growth, the Company raised $46 million in additional common equity on August 7, 2012.

The Bank provides supplemental reporting of Non-GAAP tangible equity ratios as management believes this information is useful to investors. As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s tangible capital as a percent of tangible assets increased 44 basis points to 9.4 percent, and its tangible book value increased $0.37 to $7.39 per share, compared to September 30, 2011.

The following table shows the reconciliation of tangible equity and the tangible equity ratio:

	June 30, 2012			September 30, 2011
Total assets	$	3,150,040		$	3,137,402
Goodwill and other amortizable intangibles	(164,579		)	(165,490		)
Tangible assets	$	2,985,461		$	2,971,912
Stockholders’ equity	$	444,670		$	431,134
Goodwill and other amortizable intangibles	(164,579		)	(165,490		)
Tangible stockholders’ equity	$	280,091		$	265,644
Outstanding Shares	37,899,007			37,864,008
Tangible capital as a % of tangible assets (consolidated)	9.38		%	8.94		%
Tangible book value per share	$	7.39		$	7.02

The Company declared a dividend of $0.06 per share payable on August 16, 2012 to stockholders of record on August 6, 2012.

The following table sets forth the Bank’s regulatory capital position at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, compared to OCC requirements:

					OCC requirements
	Bank actual				Minimum capital adequacy				Classification as well capitalized
	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
June 30, 2012:
Tangible capital	$	257,621	8.7	%	$	44,597	1.5	%	$	—	—
Tier 1 (core) capital	257,621		8.7		118,924		4.0	%	148,655		5.0	%
Risk-based capital:

Total	283,028		13.9	%	162,419		8.0	%	203,024		10.0	%
September 30, 2011:
Tangible capital	$	241,196	8.1	%	$	44,460	1.5	%	$	—	—
Tier 1 (core) capital	241,196		8.1		118,559		4.0		148,199		5.0	%

Total	265,307		13.0	%	162,835		8.0	%	203,544		10.0	%

The levels are well above current regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized. Management is currently studying the impact on capital requirements resulting from the Basel III accords.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Management believes that our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. The general objective of our interest rate risk management is to determine the appropriate level of risk given our business strategy, and then manage that risk in a manner that is consistent with our policy to limit the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Provident Bank’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which consists of certain members of senior management,

55

evaluates the interest rate risk inherent in certain assets and liabilities, our operating environment, and capital and liquidity requirements, and modifies our lending, investing and deposit gathering strategies accordingly. A committee of the Board of Directors reviews the ALCO’s activities and strategies, the effect of those strategies on our net interest margin, and the effect that changes in market interest rates would have on the economic value of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the intrinsic value of our deposits and borrowings.

We actively evaluate interest rate risk in connection with our lending, investing, and deposit activities. We emphasize the origination of commercial mortgage loans, commercial business loans, and residential fixed-rate mortgage loans that are repaid monthly and bi-weekly, fixed-rate commercial mortgage loans, adjustable-rate residential and consumer loans. Depending on market interest rates and our capital and liquidity position, we may retain all of the fixed-rate, fixed-term residential mortgage loans that we originate or we may sell or securitize all, or a portion of such longer-term loans, generally on a servicing-retained basis. We also invest in shorter-term securities, which generally have lower yields compared to longer-term investments. Shortening the average maturity of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term loans and securities may help us to better match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. These strategies may adversely affect net interest income due to lower initial yields on these investments in comparison to longer-term, fixed-rate loans and investments.

Management monitors interest rate sensitivity primarily through the use of a model that simulates net interest income (“NII”) under varying interest rate assumptions. Management also evaluates this sensitivity using a model that estimates the change in the Company and the Bank’s economic value of equity (“EVE”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. EVE is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. The model assumes estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates that seem reasonable, based on historical experience during prior interest rate changes.

Estimated Changes in EVE and NII. The table below sets forth, as of June 30, 2012, the estimated changes in our (1) EVE that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the forward rate curves, and (2) NII that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

Interest Rates	Estimated		in EVE					Estimated		Estimated NII
(basis points)	EVE		Amount			Percent		NII		Amount			Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
+300	$	406,662	$	(9,289	)	2.2	%	$	109,320	$	10,812		11.0	%
+200	418,120		2,169			0.5	%	105,909		7,401			7.5	%
+100	431,438		15,487			3.7	%	102,374		3,866			3.9	%
0	415,951		—			—	%	98,508		—			—	%
-100	383,757		(32,194		)	7.7	%	92,610		(5,998		)	6.0	%

The table set forth above indicates that at June 30, 2012, in the event of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would be expected to experience a 0.5 percent increase in EVE and a 7.5 percent increase in NII. Due to the current level of interest rates, management is unable to reasonably model the impact of decreases in interest rates on EVE and NII beyond -100 basis points.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in EVE and NII requires making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The EVE and NII table presented above assumes that the composition of our interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and, accordingly, the data does not reflect any actions management may undertake in response to changes in interest rates. The table also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or the re-pricing characteristics of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the EVE and NII table provides an indication of our sensitivity to interest rate changes at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, the federal funds target rate remained in a range of 0.00 – 0.25 percent as the

56

Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) did not change the target overnight lending rate. U.S. Treasury yields in the two year maturities increased 8 basis points from 0.25 percent to 0.33 percent at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 while the yield on U.S. Treasury 10 year notes decreased 25 basis points from 1.92 percent to 1.67 percent over the same nine month period. The disproportionate decrease in yield on longer term maturities resulted in the 2-10 year treasury yield curve being flatter at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012 than it was when the year began. To fight the economic downturn the FOMC declared a willingness to keep the federal funds target low for an “extended period”. Furthermore, during the second quarter of the current fiscal year the FOMC reiterated that it anticipates that economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through late 2014. However, should economic conditions improve, the FOMC could reverse direction and increase the federal funds target rate. This could cause the shorter end of the yield curve to rise disproportionately more than the longer end thereby resulting in margin compression.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal 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 properly recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time frames specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

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

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Loan Allowance Policy

The allowance for loan losses (the “allowance”) is increased through provisions charged against current earnings and additionally by crediting amounts of recoveries received, if any, on previously charged-off loans. The allowance is reduced by charge-offs on loans, in accordance with established policies, when all efforts of collection have been exhausted. The allowance is maintained at a level estimated to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as well as other credit risk related charge-offs. The allowance is based on ongoing evaluations of the probable estimated losses inherent in the performing loan portfolio, as well as reserves for impaired loans.

The Bank’s methodology for evaluating the appropriateness of the allowance includes grouping the performing loan portfolio into loan segments based on common risk characteristics, tracking the historical levels of classified loans and delinquencies, applying economic outlook factors, assigning specific incremental reserves where necessary, providing specific reserves on impaired loans, and assessing the nature and trend of loan charge-offs. Additionally, the volume of delinquencies and non-performing loans, loan trends, concentration risks by relationship, type, and , collateral adequacy, credit policies and procedures, staffing, underwriting consistency, loan review and economic conditions are taken into consideration.

The allowance for loan losses consists of the following elements: (i) specific reserves for individually impaired credits, (ii) reserves for other loans based on historical loss factors, (iii) reserves based on general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to Provident Bank, including changes in loan portfolio volume and the composition and concentrations of credit.

The Credit and Risk Management Department individually evaluates non-accrual (non-homogeneous) loans and all troubled debt restructured loans to determine if an impairment reserve is needed. The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the borrower will be unable to comply with contractual principal and interest payments due. Smaller-balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, such as residential mortgage loans and consumer loans. The value of an impaired loan is measured based upon the underlying anticipated method of payment consisting of either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent, and its payment is expected solely based on the underlying collateral. If the value of an impaired loan is less than its carrying amount, impairment is recognized through a provision to the allowance for loan losses. Loans in the commercial real estate segment are re-appraised using a summary report every six to nine months, and segments for residential mortgages, ELOCs, and Homeowner loans are also re-appraised every six to nine months primarily using drive-by appraisals because of the limitations on entering the premises for a full evaluation. All loans in real estate secured segments are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis based on information obtained by following ASU-2010-10-50, Receivables (Topic 310) guidelines. If the book value exceeds the fair market value of the collateral the difference is charged in that quarter to the allowance. This quarterly evaluation of value continues until the loan is transferred to Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) or is paid-off. If the loan is transferred to OREO, the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses is charged for any subsequent negative adjustments that occur within a reporting period or 90 days, whichever is less. Subsequent negative adjustments are charged to the Bank’s income account - All other segments that are not secured by real estate are written off to the allowance between 90 or 120 days of deliquency or sooner if deemed uncollectible such as in the case of a bankruptcy. Once charged off all subsequent collection and legal expenses are expensed.

Collateral dependent impaired loan balances are written down to the current fair value. If repayment is based upon future expected cash flows, the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate is compared to the carrying value of the loan, and any shortfall is recorded as a specific valuation allowance in the allowance for loan losses. Accrual of interest is discontinued on an impaired loan when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Cash collections on impaired loans are generally credited to the loan balance, and no interest income is recognized on these loans until the principal balance has been determined to be fully collectible.

A substantial portion of the Company’s loan portfolio is secured by residential and commercial real estate located primarily in Rockland and Orange Counties of New York and contiguous areas such as Ulster, Sullivan, Putnam and Westchester Counties of New York, Bergen County, New Jersey and New York City. The ability of the Company’s borrowers to make principal and interest payments is dependent upon, among other things, the level of overall economic activity and the real estate market conditions prevailing within the Company’s concentrated lending area. Commercial real estate and acquisition, development and construction loans are considered by management to be of somewhat greater credit risk than loans to fund the purchase of a primary residence due to the generally larger loan amounts and dependency on income production or sale of the real estate. Substantially all of these loans are collateralized by real estate located in the Company’s primary market area.

The allowances established for inherent losses on specific loans are based on a regular analysis and evaluation of the loans. Loans are evaluated based on an internal credit risk rating system for the commercial loan portfolio segments and non-performing loan status for the residential and consumer loan portfolio segments. Loans are risk-rated based on an internal credit risk grading process that evaluates, among other things: (i) the obligor’s ability to repay; (ii) the underlying collateral, if any; and (iii) the economic environment and industry in which the borrower operates. This analysis is performed at the relationship manager level for all loans, and reviewed by the Portfolio Risk Management Department. Loans with a grade that is below “Pass” grade are adversely classified. Any change in the credit risk grade of performing and/or non-performing loans affects the amount of the related allowance. Once a loan is adversely classified, the assigned relationship manager and/or a special assets officer in conjunction with the Credit and Portfolio Risk Management Department analyze the loan to determine whether the loan is impaired and, if impaired, the need to specifically allocate a portion of the allowance for loan losses to the loan. Specific valuation allowances are determined by analyzing the borrower’s ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the relative risk grade of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower’s industry, among other things. Loans identified as losses by management are charged-off. Loans are assessed for full or partial charge-off when they are between 90 and 120 days past due or sooner if deemed uncollectible. Furthermore, residential mortgage and consumer loan accounts are charged off in accordance with regulatory requirements.

The allowance allocations for other loans (i.e.; risk rated loans that are not adversely classified and loans that are not risk rated) are calculated by applying historical loss factors for each loan portfolio segment to the applicable outstanding loan portfolio balances. Loss factors are calculated using a historical loss analysis supplemented by management judgment of general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to Provident Bank. The management analysis includes an evaluation of loan portfolio volumes, the composition and concentrations of credit, credit quality and current delinquency trends.

The allowance also contains reserves to cover inherent losses within each of Provident’s loan portfolio segments, which have not been otherwise reviewed or measured on an individual basis. Such reserves include management’s evaluation of national and local economic and business conditions, loan portfolio volumes, the composition and concentrations of credit, credit quality and delinquency trends. These reserves reflect management’s attempt to ensure that the overall allowance reflects a margin for imprecision and the uncertainty that is inherent in estimates of probable credit losses.

Fair Value Policy

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values.

Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

Level 3 – Valuation is derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that the market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

When available, the Company attempts to use quoted market prices in active markets to determine fair value and classifies such items as Level 1 or Level 2. If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, fair value is often determined using model-based techniques incorporating various assumptions including interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit losses. Assets and liabilities valued using model-based techniques are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the lowest level classification of an input that is considered significant to the overall valuation.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at estimated fair value.

As a member of the FHLB of New York, the Bank may borrow in the form of term and overnight borrowings up to the amount of eligible mortgages and securities that have been pledged as collateral under a blanket security agreement. As of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the Bank had pledged mortgages totaling $573,832 and $464,900 respectively. The Bank had also pledged securities with carrying amounts of $219,025 and $206,829 as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, to secure borrowings. As of June 30, 2012, the Bank may increase its borrowing capacity by pledging securities and mortgages not required to be pledged for other purposes with a market value of $478,702. FHLB advances are subject to prepayment penalties, if repaid prior to maturity.

FHLB borrowings which are putable quarterly at the discretion of the FHLB (includes both advance and repurchase agreements) were $200,000 as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. These borrowings have a weighted average remaining term to the contractual maturity dates of approximately 4.81 years and 5.56 years and weighted average interest rates of 4.23 percent at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. An additional $20,000 is putable on a one time basis after an initial lockout period beginning in February 2013 with an interest rate of 3.57 percent.

In November 2011, the Company restructured $5,000 of its FHLBNY advances which had a weighted average rate of 4.04 percent and a duration of 1.5 years, into new borrowings with a weighted average rate of 2.37 percent net of prepayment penalties, duration of 1.6 years. Prepayment penalties of $278 associated with the modifications are being amortized to maturity on a level yield basis.

Derivative Instruments and Hedges, Assets [Abstract]

Derivatives

Derivatives

The Company purchased two interest rate caps in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to assist in offsetting a portion of interest rate exposure should short term rate increases lead to rapid increases in general levels of market interest rates on deposits. These caps are linked to LIBOR and have strike prices of 3.5 percent and 4.0 percent. These caps are stand alone derivatives and therefore changes in fair value are reported in current period earnings; the amount for June 30, 2012 and 2011 is a fair value loss of $57 and a fair value loss of $27, respectively. The fair value of the interest rate caps at June 30, 2012 is reflected in other assets with a corresponding credit (charge) to income recorded as a gain (loss) to non-interest income.

The Company acts as an interest rate swap counterparty with certain commercial customers and manages this risk by entering into corresponding and offsetting interest rate risk agreements with third parties. The swaps are considered a derivative instrument and must be carried at fair value. As the swaps are not a designated qualifying hedge, the change in fair value is recognized in current earnings, with no offset from any other instrument. There was no net gain or loss recorded in earnings during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Interest rate swaps are recorded on our consolidated statements of financial condition as an other asset or other liability at estimated fair value.

At June 30, 2012 summary information regarding these derivatives is presented below:

	June 30, 2012
	Notional Amount			Average Maturity	Weighted Average Rate Fixed		Weighted Average Variable Rate	Fair Value
Interest Rate Caps	$	50,000		2.43	3.75	%	NA	$	8

	Notional Amount			Average Maturity	Weighted Average Rate Fixed		Weighted Average Variable Rate	Fair Value

The Company enters into various commitments to sell real estate loans into the secondary market. Such commitments are considered to be derivative financial instruments and, therefore are carried at estimated fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of these commitments are not considered material.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has two share based compensation plans as described below. Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans was $228, and $171, for the three months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011. There was no income tax benefit for the three months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011. Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans was $601, and $510, for the nine months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011. There was no income tax benefit for the nine months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Stock Option Plan

The Company’s shareholders approved the 2012 Employee Share Option Plan (stock option plan) on February 16, 2012. The plan permits the grant of share options to employees for up to 2,864,000 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2012. The plan allows for the following type of stock based awards to be issued: options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance based restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, deferred stock awards, performance unit awards or other stock based awards. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant; those option awards have vesting periods ranging from 2 to 5 years and have 10 year contractual terms. The Company has a policy of using shares held as treasury stock to satisfy share option exercises. Currently, the Company has a sufficient number of treasury shares to satisfy expected share option exercises.

The Company’s 2004 Employee Share Option Plan (stock option plan), which is shareholder-approved, permits the grant of share options to its employees for up to 58,857 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2012. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant; those option awards have vesting periods ranging from 2 to 5 years and have 10 year contractual terms. The Company has a policy of using shares held as treasury stock to satisfy share option exercises. Currently, the Company has a sufficient number of treasury shares to satisfy expected share option exercises.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

The fair value of options granted was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as the grant date:

	Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011
Risk-free interest rate (1)	1.5	%	—	%
Expected stock price volatility	39.8	%	—	%
Dividend yield (2)	3.1	%	—	%
Expected term in years	5.8		—

^{(1) represents the yield on a risk free rate of return (either the US Treasury curve or the SWAP curve, in periods with high volatility in US Treasury securities) with a remaining term equal to the expected option term} 

^{(2) represents the approximate annualized cash dividend rate paid with respect to a share of common stock at or near the grant date} 

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2012:

	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at October 1, 2011	1,906,020	$	12.20

Share Award Plan

The Company’s 2004 Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”) provides for the issuance of shares to directors and officers. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at issue date. RRP shares vest annually on the anniversary of the grant date over the vesting period. Total shares remaining that are authorized and available for future grant under the RRP are 2,120 at June 30, 2012. Inducement shares of 41,370 were issued in July 2011.

A summary of restricted stock award activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2012, is presented below:

	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested shares at September 30, 2011	57,520	$	8.77

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings Per Common Share

The number of shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share excludes unallocated ESOP shares, shares held to fund deferred compensation plans, and unvested shares of restricted stock that have not been released to participants.

Common stock equivalent shares are incremental shares (computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive stock options and unvested RRP shares were exercised or became vested during the periods.

Basic earnings per common share are computed as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Weighted average common shares outstanding (basic)	37,302,693		37,368,391		37,278,507		37,472,548

The Company, as of June 30, 2009 adopted the provisions under FASB ASC Topic 320 – Investments- Debt and Equity Securities which requires a forecast of recovery of cost basis through cash flow collection on all debt securities with a fair value less than its amortized cost less any current period credit loss with an assertion on the lack of intent to sell (or requirement to sell prior to recovery of cost basis). Based on a review of each of the securities in the investment portfolio in accordance with FASB ASC 320 at June 30, 2012, the Company concluded that it expects to recover the amortized cost basis of its investments on all but two private label collateralized mortgage-backed securities (“CMO’s”) which incurred impairment charges of $44 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Total cumulative impairment charges on the two private label CMO’s total $119. As of June 30, 2012, the Company does not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that it would be required to sell any of its securities with unrealized losses prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period applicable credit losses.

The losses related to privately issued residential CMO’s were recognized in light of deterioration of housing values in the residential real estate market and a rise in delinquencies and charge-offs of underlying mortgage loans collateralizing those securities. The Company uses a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis to provide an estimate of an OTTI loss. Inputs to the discount model included known defaults and interest deferrals, projected additional default rates, projected additional deferrals of interest, over collateralization tests, interest coverage tests and other factors. Expected default and deferral rates were weighted toward the near future to reflect the current adverse economic environment affecting the banking industry. The discount rate was based upon the yield expected from the related securities.

Substantially all of the unrealized losses at June 30, 2012 relate to investment grade securities and are attributable to changes in market interest rates subsequent to purchase. A total of 29 available for sale securities were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and three securities for 12 months or longer. For securities with fixed maturities, there are no securities past due or securities for which the Company currently believes it is not probable that it will collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the investment.

Within the CMO category of the available for sale portfolio there are four individual private label CMO’s that have an amortized cost of $4,844 and a fair value (carrying value) of $4,635 as of June 30, 2012. Two of the four securities are considered to be other than temporarily impaired as noted above and are below investment grade. The impaired private label CMO’s have an amortized cost of $4,397 and a fair value of $4,192 at June 30, 2012. There were $54 and $31 of unrealized gains recorded in other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 for the two CMO's that were deemed other than temporarily impaired. There were $5 and $50 of unrealized gains recorded in other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 for the two CMO's that were deemed other than temporarily impaired.The remaining two securities are rated at or above Ba1 and are performing as of June 30, 2012 and are expected to perform based on current information.

In determining whether there existed other than temporary impairment on these securities the Company evaluated the present value of cash flows expected to be collected based on collateral specific assumptions, including credit risk and liquidity risk, and determined that no losses are expected. The Company will continue to evaluate its portfolio in this manner on a quarterly basis.

The components of the loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, were as follows:

Allowance for loan losses	(27,587		)	(27,917		)
Total loans, net	$	1,823,440		$	1,675,882

Total loans include net deferred loan origination fees of $(247) at June 30, 2012 and $308 net deferred loan origination costs at September 30, 2011.

Loans where management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff (other than loans held for sale) are reported at amortized cost less the allowance for loan losses. Interest income on loans is accrued on the level yield method.

A loan is placed on non-accrual status when management has determined that the borrower may likely be unable to meet contractual principal or interest obligations, or when payments are 90 days or more past due, unless well secured and in the process of collection. Accrual of interest ceases and, in general, uncollected past due interest is reversed and charged against current interest income, while interest recorded in the prior year is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans, including impaired loans, are not recognized as income unless warranted based on the borrower’s financial condition and payment record.

The Company defers nonrefundable loan origination and commitment fees, and certain direct loan origination costs, and amortizes the net amount as an adjustment of the yield over the estimated life of the loan. If a loan is prepaid or sold, the net deferred amount is recognized in the statement of income at that time. Interest and fees on loans include prepayment fees and late charges collected.

The allowance for loan losses (the “allowance”) is increased through provisions charged against current earnings and additionally by crediting amounts of recoveries received, if any, on previously charged-off loans. The allowance is reduced by charge-offs on loans, in accordance with established policies, when all efforts of collection have been exhausted. The allowance is maintained at a level estimated to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as well as other credit risk related charge-offs. The allowance is based on ongoing evaluations of the probable estimated losses inherent in the performing loan portfolio, as well as reserves for impaired loans.

The Bank’s methodology for evaluating the appropriateness of the allowance includes grouping the performing loan portfolio into loan segments based on common risk characteristics, tracking the historical levels of classified loans and delinquencies, applying economic outlook factors, assigning specific incremental reserves where necessary, providing specific reserves on impaired loans, and assessing the nature and trend of loan charge-offs. Additionally, the volume of delinquencies and non-performing loans, loan trends, concentration risks by relationship, type, and , collateral adequacy, credit policies and procedures, staffing, underwriting consistency, loan review and economic conditions are taken into consideration.

The allowance for loan losses consists of the following elements: (i) specific reserves for individually impaired credits, (ii) reserves for other loans based on historical loss factors, (iii) reserves based on general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to Provident Bank, including changes in loan portfolio volume and the composition and concentrations of credit.

The Credit and Risk Management Department individually evaluates non-accrual (non-homogeneous) loans and all troubled debt restructured loans to determine if an impairment reserve is needed. The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the borrower will be unable to comply with contractual principal and interest payments due. Smaller-balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, such as residential mortgage loans and consumer loans. The value of an impaired loan is measured based upon the underlying anticipated method of payment consisting of either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent, and its payment is expected solely based on the underlying collateral. If the value of an impaired loan is less than its carrying amount, impairment is recognized through a provision to the allowance for loan losses. Loans in the commercial real estate segment are re-appraised using a summary report every six to nine months, and segments for residential mortgages, ELOCs, and Homeowner loans are also re-appraised every six to nine months primarily using drive-by appraisals because of the limitations on entering the premises for a full evaluation. All loans in real estate secured segments are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis based on information obtained by following ASU-2010-10-50, Receivables (Topic 310) guidelines. If the book value exceeds the fair market value of the collateral the difference is charged in that quarter to the allowance. This quarterly evaluation of value continues until the loan is transferred to Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) or is paid-off. If the loan is transferred to OREO, the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses is charged for any subsequent negative adjustments that occur within a reporting period or 90 days, whichever is less. Subsequent negative adjustments are charged to the Bank’s income account - All other segments that are not secured by real estate are written off to the allowance between 90 or 120 days of deliquency or sooner if deemed uncollectible such as in the case of a bankruptcy. Once charged off all subsequent collection and legal expenses are expensed.

Collateral dependent impaired loan balances are written down to the current fair value. If repayment is based upon future expected cash flows, the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate is compared to the carrying value of the loan, and any shortfall is recorded as a specific valuation allowance in the allowance for loan losses. Accrual of interest is discontinued on an impaired loan when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Cash collections on impaired loans are generally credited to the loan balance, and no interest income is recognized on these loans until the principal balance has been determined to be fully collectible.

A substantial portion of the Company’s loan portfolio is secured by residential and commercial real estate located primarily in Rockland and Orange Counties of New York and contiguous areas such as Ulster, Sullivan, Putnam and Westchester Counties of New York, Bergen County, New Jersey and New York City. The ability of the Company’s borrowers to make principal and interest payments is dependent upon, among other things, the level of overall economic activity and the real estate market conditions prevailing within the Company’s concentrated lending area. Commercial real estate and acquisition, development and construction loans are considered by management to be of somewhat greater credit risk than loans to fund the purchase of a primary residence due to the generally larger loan amounts and dependency on income production or sale of the real estate. Substantially all of these loans are collateralized by real estate located in the Company’s primary market area.

The allowances established for inherent losses on specific loans are based on a regular analysis and evaluation of the loans. Loans are evaluated based on an internal credit risk rating system for the commercial loan portfolio segments and non-performing loan status for the residential and consumer loan portfolio segments. Loans are risk-rated based on an internal credit risk grading process that evaluates, among other things: (i) the obligor’s ability to repay; (ii) the underlying collateral, if any; and (iii) the economic environment and industry in which the borrower operates. This analysis is performed at the relationship manager level for all loans, and reviewed by the Portfolio Risk Management Department. Loans with a grade that is below “Pass” grade are adversely classified. Any change in the credit risk grade of performing and/or non-performing loans affects the amount of the related allowance. Once a loan is adversely classified, the assigned relationship manager and/or a special assets officer in conjunction with the Credit and Portfolio Risk Management Department analyze the loan to determine whether the loan is impaired and, if impaired, the need to specifically allocate a portion of the allowance for loan losses to the loan. Specific valuation allowances are determined by analyzing the borrower’s ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the relative risk grade of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower’s industry, among other things. Loans identified as losses by management are charged-off. Loans are assessed for full or partial charge-off when they are between 90 and 120 days past due or sooner if deemed uncollectible. Furthermore, residential mortgage and consumer loan accounts are charged off in accordance with regulatory requirements.

The allowance allocations for other loans (i.e.; risk rated loans that are not adversely classified and loans that are not risk rated) are calculated by applying historical loss factors for each loan portfolio segment to the applicable outstanding loan portfolio balances. Loss factors are calculated using a historical loss analysis supplemented by management judgment of general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to Provident Bank. The management analysis includes an evaluation of loan portfolio volumes, the composition and concentrations of credit, credit quality and current delinquency trends.

The allowance also contains reserves to cover inherent losses within each of Provident’s loan portfolio segments, which have not been otherwise reviewed or measured on an individual basis. Such reserves include management’s evaluation of national and local economic and business conditions, loan portfolio volumes, the composition and concentrations of credit, credit quality and delinquency trends. These reserves reflect management’s attempt to ensure that the overall allowance reflects a margin for imprecision and the uncertainty that is inherent in estimates of probable credit losses.

A loan is impaired when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans substantially consist of non-performing loans and accruing and performing troubled debt restructured loans. The recorded investment of an impaired loan includes the unpaid principal balance, negative escrow and any tax in arrears.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

Troubled debt restructurings are renegotiated loans for which concessions have been granted to the borrower that the Company would not have otherwise granted and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy. The modification of the terms of such loans include one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan. Modifications involving a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan were for period ranging from 3 months to 30 years. Modifications involving an extension of the maturity date were for periods ranging from 3 months to 30 years. Restructured loans are recorded in accrual status when the loans have demonstrated performance, generally evidenced by six months of payment performance in accordance with the restructured terms, or by the presence of other significant items.

Not all loans that are restructured as a TDR are classified as non accrual before the restructuring occurs. If the subsequent TDR designation of these accruing loans has been assigned because of a below market interest rate or an extension of time, the new restructured loan will remain on accrual. As noted all other loan restructures requires a minimum of 6 months of performance in accordance with the regulatory guideline.

Troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2012 were as follows:

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes all loans. This analysis is performed on a monthly basis on all criticized/classified loans. The Company uses the following definitions of risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Based on the most recent analysis performed as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the risk category of loans by segment of gross loans is as follows:

	June 30, 2012

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair value measurements

Fair value measurements

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values.

Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

Level 3 – Valuation is derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that the market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

When available, the Company attempts to use quoted market prices in active markets to determine fair value and classifies such items as Level 1 or Level 2. If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, fair value is often determined using model-based techniques incorporating various assumptions including interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit losses. Assets and liabilities valued using model-based techniques are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the lowest level classification of an input that is considered significant to the overall valuation.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at estimated fair value.

Investment securities available for sale

The majority of the Company’s available for sale investment securities have been valued by reference to prices for similar securities or through model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable and, therefore, such valuations have been classified as Level 2. U.S. Treasuries are actively traded and therefore have been classified as Level 1 valuations. As of October 1, 2010 the company determined that government sponsored agencies totaling $346,019 previously reported as Level 1 securities were not classified based on the lowest level within the fair value hierarchy and deemed it appropriate to transfer the securities to Level 2.

The Company utilizes an outside vendor to obtain valuations for its traded securities as well as information received from a third party investment adviser. The majority of the Company’s available for sale investment securities (mortgage backed securities issued by US government corporations and government sponsored entities) have been valued by reference to prices for similar securities or through model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable (Level 2). The Company utilizes prices from a leading provider of financial market data and compares them to dealer indicative bids from the Company’s external investment adviser. The Company does not make adjustments to these prices unless it is determined there is limited trading activity. For securities where there is limited trading activity (private label CMO’s) and less observable valuation inputs, the Company has classified such valuations as Level 3.

The Company reviewed the volume and level of activity for its available for sale securities to identify transactions which may not be orderly or reflective of significant activity and volume. Although estimated prices were generally obtained for such securities, there has been a decline in the volume and level of activity in the market for its private label mortgage backed securities. The market assumptions regarding credit adjusted cash flows and liquidity influences on discount rates were difficult to observe at the individual bond level. Because of the inactivity in the markets and the lack of observable valuation inputs the Company has classified the valuation of privately issued residential mortgage backed securities as Level 3. As of June 30, 2012, these securities have an amortized cost of $4,844 and a fair value of $4,635. In determining the fair value of these securities the Company utilized unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions regarding the inputs that market participants would use in pricing these securities in an orderly market. Significant increases (decreases) in any of the unobservable inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement of the securities. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the default rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. Present value estimated cash flow models were used discounted at a the securities rate reflective of similarly structured securities in an orderly market. The resultant prices were averaged with prices obtained from two independent third parties to arrive at the fair value as of June 30, 2012. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer ultimately determines the fair value of level 3 investment securities. These securities have a weighted average coupon rate of 2.91%, a weighted average life of 5.67 years, a weighted average one month prepayment history of 7.56 years and a weighted average twelve month default rate of 3.09% CDR. It was determined that two of these securities with a carrying amount of $4,192 and an amortized cost of $4,397 had other than temporary losses which resulted in a $44 other than temporary impairment charge for the nine months ending June 30, 2012. These two securities have a total of $119 in other than temporary charges. The calculation of the other than temporary charges is determined by performing a present value of credit loss using the securities book yields of 3.24% and 2.88%.

The investment grades of these securities are as follows:

	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Investment Rating:
Aa3	$	319	$	321
Ba1	128		122
B1	2,674		2,576
B3	1,723		1,616
Total private label CMOs	$	4,844	$	4,635

Derivatives

The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using current market terms (including interest rates and fees), the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit worthiness of the counter party as of the measurement date (Level 2). The Company’s derivatives consist of two interest rate caps and six interest rate swaps (see note 9).

Commitments to sell real estate loans

The Company enters into various commitments to sell real estate loans into the secondary market. Such commitments are considered to be derivative financial instruments and therefore are carried at estimated fair value on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The estimated fair values of these commitments were generally calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell to certain government sponsored agencies. The fair values of these commitments generally result in a Level 2 classification. The fair values of these commitments are not considered material.

A summary of assets and liabilities at June 30, 2012 measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Changes in fair value are included as part of net unrealized holding gains (losses) on securities available for sale net of related tax expense on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The following categories of financial assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances:

Loans Held for Sale and Impaired Loans

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets (Level 2).

Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights retained. The carrying value of mortgage loans sold is reduced by the amount allocated to the value of the servicing right which is its fair value. Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.

The Company may record nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of these loans. Nonrecurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral dependent loans calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310 – Receivables, when establishing the allowance for loan losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan and, as a result, the carrying value of the loan less the calculated valuation amount does not necessarily represent the fair value of the loan. Real estate collateral is valued using independent appraisals or other indications of value based upon recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable by market participants. Any fair value adjustments for loans categorized here are classified as Level 3. Estimates of fair value used for other collateral supporting commercial loans generally are based on assumptions not observable in the market place and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and their carrying values are adjusted as needed. Loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements were $55,700 and $51,155 which equals the carrying value less the allowance for loan losses allocated to these loans at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. Changes in fair value recognized on provisions on loans held by the Company were $2,579 and $662 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

When valuing impaired loans that are collateral dependent, the Company charges off the difference between the recorded investment in the loan and the appraised value, which is generally less than six months old, but any event no more than nine months old. In addition, an impairment reserve is established equal to 10% of the appraised value to take into account the inability of the Bank to dispose of the property at the appraised value, In addition, a reserve for estimated costs to dispose of the asset is established, in a range on residential loans including ELOCs and homeowners is 7% to 13%, the range for commercial mortgages, and ADC including land loans is 12% to 22%. Loans that are cash flow dependent are charged off for the difference between the net present values calculated at the effective note rate of the probable cash flows to be received from the borrower. In general, we establish an impairment reserve for 10% of the present value to cover contingencies. Nearly all our impaired loans are considered collateral dependent.

A summary of impaired loans at June 30, 2012 measured at estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis were as follows:

	Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2012		Quoted Prices in Active  Markets for Identical Assets Level 1		Significant Other Observable Inputs Level 2		Significant Unobservable Inputs Level 3

Mortgage servicing rights

When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.

The Company utilizes the amortization method to subsequently measure the carrying value of its servicing asset. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 860-Transfers and Servicing, the Company must record impairment charges on a nonrecurring basis, when the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. To estimate the fair value of servicing rights the Company utilizes a third party vendor, which on a quarterly basis, considers the market prices for similar assets and the present value of expected future cash flows associated with the servicing rights. Assumptions utilized include estimates of the cost of servicing, loan default rates, an appropriate discount rate and prepayment speeds. The determination of fair value of servicing rights for impairment purposes is considered a Level 3 valuation. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights at June 30, 2012 was $1.4 million Changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights, which required an impairment charge and were subsequently recognized in income, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $3 and $0, respectively. Changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights, which required an impairment charge and were subsequently recognized in income, for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, were $131 and $0, respectively. These amounts are considered immaterial for any previous periods.

Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans

Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, which establishes the new cost basis. These loans are subsequently accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell primarily comprised of commercial and residential real property and upon initial recognition, were re-measured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the foreclosed asset. The fair value is generally determined using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the market place. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments have generally been classified as Level 3. Appraisals are reviewed and verified by the Chief Credit Officer and/or Chief Risk Officer. Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement were $7,292 and $5,391 at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. There were $422 and $229 changes in fair value recognized through income for those foreclosed assets held by the Company during the three months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There were $684 and $329 changes in fair value recognized through income for those foreclosed assets held by the Company during the nine months ending June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Assets taken in foreclosure of loans of $5,828 were transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 as of March 31, 2012. The valuation of these properties involves judgments of the individual appraisers as well as adjustments for differences due to the availability of data on the properties, which classifies as Level 3.

Fair values of financial instruments

FASB Codification Topic 825: Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information for those financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, whether or not such financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition for interim and annual periods. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

Quoted market prices are used to estimate fair values when those prices are available, although active markets do not exist for many types of financial instruments. Fair values for these instruments must be estimated by management using techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis and comparison to similar instruments. These estimates are highly subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters, such as the amount and timing of future cash flows and the selection of discount rates that appropriately reflect market and credit risks. Changes in these judgments often have a material effect on the fair value estimates. Since these estimates are made as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material near-term changes. Fair values disclosed in accordance with FASB Topic 825 do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from the sale of a large volume of a particular financial instrument, nor do they reflect possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs.

The following paragraphs summarize the principal methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used by management to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments.

(a) Cash and due from banks

The carrying value of cash and due from banks approximates their fair value and are classified as Level 1.

(b) Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value in accordance with GAAP and are classified as Level 2.

(c) Loans

Fair values were estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. For valuation purposes, the total loan portfolio was segregated into adjustable-rate and fixed-rate categories. Fixed-rate loans were further segmented by type, such as residential mortgage, commercial mortgage, commercial business and consumer loans. Loans were also segmented by maturity dates. Fair values were estimated by discounting scheduled future cash flows through estimated maturity using a discount rate equivalent to the current market rate on loans that are similar with regard to collateral, maturity and the type of borrower. The discounted value of the cash flows was reduced by a credit risk adjustment based on loan categories. Based on the current composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, as well as past experience and current economic conditions and trends, the future cash flows were adjusted by prepayment assumptions that shortened the estimated remaining time to maturity and therefore affected the fair value estimates resulting in a Level 3 classification. Valuation for impaired loans has been described previously. The methods utilized to estimate fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

(d) FHLB of New York Stock

The redeemable carrying amount of these securities with limited marketability approximates their fair value and as such are classified as Level 2

(e) Deposits and Mortgage Escrow Funds

In accordance with FASB Codification Topic 825, deposits with no stated maturity (such as savings, demand and money market deposits) were assigned fair values equal to the carrying amounts payable on demand and as such are classified as Level 1. Certificates of deposit and mortgage escrow funds were segregated by account type and original term, and fair values were estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows. The discount rate for each account grouping was equivalent to the current market rates for deposits of similar type and maturity resulting in a Level 2 classification.

These fair values do not include the value of core deposit relationships that comprise a significant portion of the Company’s deposit base. Management believes that the Company’s core deposit relationships provide a relatively stable, low-cost funding source that has a substantial value separate from the deposit balances.

(f) Borrowings

Fair values of FHLB and other borrowings were estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows. A discount rate was utilized for each outstanding borrowing equivalent to the then-current rate offered on borrowings of similar type and maturity resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(g) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(h) Other Financial Instruments

The other financial assets and liabilities listed in the preceding table have estimated fair values that approximate the respective carrying amounts because the instruments are payable on demand or have short-term maturities and present relatively low credit risk and interest rate risk.

The fair values of the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments were estimated based on current market terms (including interest rates and fees), considering the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit worthiness of the counterparties. At June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the estimated fair values of these instruments approximated the related carrying amounts, which were insignificant.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Provident New York Bancorp (“Provident Bancorp” or “the Company”), Hardenburgh Abstract Title Company, Inc., which provides title searches and insurance for residential and commercial real estate, Hudson Valley Investment Advisors, LLC (“HVIA”), a registered investment advisor, Provident Risk Management, (a captive insurance company), Provident Bank (“the Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries. These subsidiaries are (i) Provident Municipal Bank (“PMB”) which is a limited-purpose, New York State-chartered commercial bank formed to accept deposits from municipalities in the Company’s market area, (ii) Provident REIT, Inc. and WSB Funding, Inc. which are real estate investment trusts that hold a portion of the Company’s real estate loans, (iii) Provest Services Corp. I, which has invested in a low-income housing partnership, (iv) Provest Services Corp. II, which has engaged a third-party provider to sell mutual funds and annuities to the Bank’s customers, and (v) companies that hold foreclosed properties acquired by the Bank. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s off-balance sheet activities are limited to loan origination commitments, loan commitments pending sale, lines of credit extended to customers and letters of credit on behalf of customers, which all occur in the ordinary course of its lending activities. In addition, the Company purchased interest rate caps with a notional value of $50,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company does not engage in off-balance sheet financing transactions or other activities involving the use of special-purpose or variable interest entities.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management without audit, but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented. Although certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented clear. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for other interim periods or the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2012. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to near-term change is the allowance for loan loss (see note 4), which reflects the application of a critical accounting policy.

Certain loan amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current fiscal year presentation.

Guarantor's Obligations Under Guarantees

9 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2012

Guarantees [Abstract]

Guarantor's Obligations Under Guarantees

Guarantor’s Obligations Under Guarantees

Most letters of credit issued by, or on behalf of the Company are standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are commitments issued by the Company on behalf of its customer/obligor in favor of a beneficiary that specify an amount the Company can be called upon to pay upon the beneficiary’s compliance with the terms of the letter of credit. These commitments are primarily issued in favor of local municipalities to support the obligor’s completion of real estate development projects. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $17,927 in outstanding letters of credit, of which $5,290 are cash secured and $3,272 were secured by collateral. The carrying values of these obligations are considered immaterial.
