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 which 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 are in the ordinary course of its lending activities. In addition, the Company purchased interest rate caps with a notional value of $50.0 million 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 nine months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for other interim periods or the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2011. 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, 2010.

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

2. Recent Accounting Standards, Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310)-A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring has been issued. The ASU clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings and assists creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. This standard is effective for the Company July 1, 2011 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing(Topic 860)- Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements has been issued, which is to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. This standard is effective for the Company January 1, 2012 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement(Topic 820)-Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS has been issued, which will conform the meaning and disclosure requirements of fair value measurement between U.S. GAAP and in IFRS. This standard is effective for the Company January 1, 2012 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05- Presentation of Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) has been issued. This standard was issued to conform U.S. GAAP and IFRS as well as to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This standard is effective for the Company January 1, 2012 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Loans

Major classifications of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are summarized below:

	June 30, 2011		September 30, 2010
Real estate - residential mortgage	$	402,072	$	434,900

Total	$	1,685,272	$	1,701,541

4. Allowance for Loan Losses and Non-Performing Assets

The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collection of principal is unlikely. Recoveries of loans previously charged-off are credited to the allowance when realized. The allowance for loan losses is the amount that management has determined to be necessary to absorb probable incurred loan losses inherent in the existing portfolio. Management’s evaluations, which are subject to periodic review by the Company’s regulators, are made using a consistently applied methodology that takes into consideration such factors as the Company’s past loan loss experience, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and collateral values, and current economic conditions. Modifications to the methodology used in the allowance for loan losses evaluation may be necessary in the future based on economic and real estate market conditions, new information obtained regarding known problem loans, regulatory guidelines and examinations, the identification of additional problem loans, and other factors.

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 nonperforming 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. 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. Total troubled debt restructurings were $20,864 and $21,504 at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. There were $13,417 and $5,457 in troubled debt restructurings included in non- performing loans at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Troubled debt restructurings still accruing and considered to be performing were $7,447 and $16,047 at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company has allocated $331 and $673 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 respectively.

The Company has committed to lend additional amounts totaling up to $4,063 and $3,957 as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 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.

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 current 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, 2011, the risk category of loans by class of gross loans is as follows:

	Special Mention		Substandard		Doubtful
Real estate - residential mortgage	$	3,396	$	10,108	$	—
Real estate - commercial mortgage		11,807		26,645

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 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. Certain investments are actively traded and therefore have been classified as Level 1 valuations (U.S. Treasuries and certain government sponsored agencies).

The Company utilizes an outside vendor to obtain valuations for its traded securities as well as information received from a third party investment advisor. 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 market data information and compares them to dealer indicative bids from the Company’s external investment advisor. 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 April 1, 2009 with a fair value of $9,534. As of June 30, 2011, these securities have an amortized cost of $5,602 and a fair value of $5,314. 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. Present value estimated cash flow models were used discounted at a rate that was 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, 2011. These securities have a weighted average coupon rate of 2.96 percent, a weighted average life of 4.69 years, a weighted average 1 month prepayment history of 9.87 years and a weighted average twelve month default rate of 4.17 CDR. It was determined that one of these securities with a carrying amount of $1,878 and an amortized cost of $2,071 had an other than temporary loss which resulted in a $27 temporary impairment charge.

The investment grades of these securities are as follows:

	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Investment Grade:
Aa1	$	356	$	357
Ba1		163		154
B		5,083		4,803
Total private label CMOs	$	5,602	$	5,314

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 three interest rate swaps (see footnote 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 balance sheets. 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, 2011 measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

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 Loans

Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value in accordance with GAAP.

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 dependant loans calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310 – Receivables, when establishing the allowance for credit 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. Loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements were $51,401 and $28,717 which equals the carrying value less the allowance for loan losses allocated to these loans at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements have been transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 as of September 30, 2010. Changes in fair value recognized on provisions on loans held by the Company were $662 and $1,913 nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Mortgage servicing rights

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 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 is considered a Level 3 valuation. Changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights recognized for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $399. There was no valuation allowance recorded at June 30, 2011. A valuation allowance of $54 was recorded at September 30, 2010, reflecting fair market value.

Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans

Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans are 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, and the related nonrecurring fair value measurements adjustments have generally been classified as Level 2. Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement were $5,184 and $3,891 at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. There were $329 and $44 changes in fair value recognized through income for those foreclosed assets held by the Company during the nine months ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

A summary of assets and liabilities at June 30, 2011 measured at estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis were as follows:

	Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2011		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Real estate - residential mortgage	$	4,569	$	—	$	—	$	4,569
Real estate - commercial mortgage		3,593		—		—		3,593

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):

	June 30, 2011						September 30, 2010
	Carrying amount			Estimated fair value			Carrying amount			Estimated fair value
Financial assets:

Accrued interest payable		(2,197	)		(2,197	)		(2,307	)		(2,307	)

The following paragraphs summarize the principal methods and assumptions 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

(b) Securities

The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, live trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions among other items. For certain securities, for which the inputs used by independent pricing services were derived from unobservable market information, the Company evaluated the appropriateness of each price. In accordance with adoption of FASB Codification Topic 820, the Company reviewed the volume and level of activity for its different classes of securities to determine whether transactions were not considered orderly. For these securities, the quoted prices received from independent pricing services may be adjusted, as necessary, to estimate fair value in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 820. If applicable, adjustments to fair value were based on averaging present value cash flow model projections with prices obtained from independent pricing services.

(c) Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value in accordance with GAAP.

(d) 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.

(e) FHLB of New York Stock

The redeemable carrying amount of these securities with limited marketability approximates their fair value.

(f) 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. 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.

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.

(g) 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.

(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, 2011 and September 30, 2010, 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, 2011, the Company concluded that it expects to recover the amortized cost basis of its investments on all but one private label CMO security and therefore there was an impairment charge of $27. As of June 30, 2011 the Company does not intend to sell nor is it more than 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 credit loss.

Substantially all of the unrealized losses at June 30, 2011 relate to investment grade securities and are attributable to changes in market interest rates subsequent to purchase. There were no securities with unrealized losses that were individually significant dollar amounts at June 30, 2011. A total of 56 available for sale securities were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and 11 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 collateralized mortgage-backed securities (CMO’s) category of the available for sale portfolio there are four individual private label CMO’s that have an amortized cost of $5,602 and a fair value (carrying value) of $5,314 as of June 30, 2011. One of the four securities is considered to be impaired as noted above and is below investment grade. The impaired private label CMO has an amortized cost of $2,055 and a fair value of $1,878 at June 30, 2011. The remaining three securities are rated at or above B. The remaining three securities in this category are performing as of June 30, 2011 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, 2011 relate to local municipal general obligation bonds and 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, 2011. There was one held-to-maturity securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months, and no securities for less than 12 months. For securities with fixed maturities, there were no securities past due nor 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. Because the Company has the ability and intent to hold securities with unrealized losses until maturity, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2011.

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, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the Bank had pledged mortgages totaling $355,966 and $313,587 respectively. The Bank had also pledged securities with carrying amounts of $219,764 and $228,442 as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively, to secure borrowings. As of June 30, 2011, 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 $367,513. FHLB advances are subject to prepayment penalties, if repaid prior to maturity.

FHLB borrowings (includes advance and repurchase agreements) of $200,000 and $227,500 at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively are putable quarterly, at the discretion of the FHLB. These borrowings have a weighted average remaining term to the contractual maturity dates of approximately 5.81 years and 6.16 years and weighted average interest rates of 4.23 percent and 4.24 percent at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. 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.

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 3.50 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 the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was a fair value loss of $27 and $831, respectively. The fair value of the interest rate caps at June 30, 2011, 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 first nine months of 2011 and 2010. 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, 2011, summary information regarding these derivatives is presented below:

	Notional Amount			Average Maturity		Weighted Average Rate		Weighted Average Variable Rate	Fair Value
Interest Rate Caps	$	50,000			3.43		3.75	NA	$	235
3rd party interest rate swaps		1,158			8.62		6.25	1 m Libor + 2.25%		139
Customer interest rate swaps		(1,158	)		8.62		6.25	1 m Libor + 2.25%		(139	)

At September 30, 2010, summary information regarding these derivatives is presented below:

	Notional Amount			Average Maturity		Weighted Average Rate		Weighted Average Variable Rate	Fair Value
Interest Rate Caps	$	50,000			4.18		3.75	NA	$	262
3rd party interest rate swaps		1,182			9.37		6.25	1 m Libor + 2.25%		173
Customer interest rate swaps		(1,182	)		9.37		6.25	1 m Libor + 2.25%		(173	)

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.

Basic earnings per common share are computed as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Weighted average common shares outstanding (basic), in ’000s		37,368		38,087		37,473		38,285
Net Income	$	1,939	$	4,756	$	12,232	$	15,089
Basic earnings per common share	$	0.05	$	0.12	$	0.33	$	0.39

Diluted earnings per common share are computed as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Weighted average common shares outstanding (basic), in ’000s		37,368		38,087		37,473		38,285
Effect of common stock equivalents		2		—		—		32

Diluted earnings per common share	$	0.05	$	0.12	$	0.33	$	0.39

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. As of June 30, 2010, 1,690,346 and 1,816,426 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, 2011, the Company had $20,010 in outstanding letters of credit, of which $5,361 are cash secured and $3,602 were secured by collateral. The carrying values of these obligations are considered immaterial.

The Company has also established a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) to provide certain executives with supplemental retirement benefits in addition to the benefits provided by the pension plan due to amounts limited by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRS Code”). The periodic pension expense for the supplemental plan amounted to $317 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 (including a settlement charge of $278) and $66 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011 there were $1,109 in contributions to fund benefit payments on an in service withdrawal of $1,083 related to the SERP.

13. Contingencies

Certain premises and equipment are leased under operating leases with terms expiring through 2033. The Company has the option to renew certain of these leases for additional terms.

The Company is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate losses on any of these claims or actions that would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

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, cost savings, taxes, management’s plans, strategies and objectives for future operations, dividends, share repurchases and/or other matters regarding or affecting Provident New York 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 pending and future implementing regulations that adversely affect our business including changes in regulators and regulatory policies and principles or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules;

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

• Our ability to make accurate assumptions and judgments about an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses and the collectability 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;

• Our success in implementing strategic, financial and operational initiatives;

• 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; and

• Our business and operating results can be affected by widespread national disasters, terrorist activities or international hostilities, either as a result of the impact on the economy, and financial and capital markets generally, or on us, our customers, suppliers or counterparties.

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 principally New York and New Jersey. Additionally, the Company offers investment management services through its subsidiary, HVIA. 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.

On July 6, 2011, Jack L. Kopnisky officially assumed the position of President and Chief Executive Officer succeeding George Strayton who retired after 25 years of service. The Company’s press release relating to the management transition is available in the Company’s investor relations section of its website www.providentbanking.com, as well as the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on June 21, 2011.

Management has invested in the infrastructure and staffing to support our strategy of serving the financial needs of businesses, individuals and municipalities in our market area. 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. Going forward imperatives for the Company will be to grow revenue and earnings by expanding client acquisitions, continuing to improve credit metrics and to significantly improve efficiency levels. To achieve these goals we will 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 to proactively manage enterprise risk.

There are key factors that have affected our results during the last three months and fiscal 2011. The underlying national economic conditions continue, with issues regarding unemployment continuing to be a factor. While the economy in our footprint has not been affected to the extent that other areas in the country have, we still have seen the effects on our consumer, small business and commercial customers. As a result there has been limited opportunity to make loans that meet our credit standards and pricing.

The slow economic recovery has continued to result in some borrowers experiencing higher levels of stress, which has resulted in increased levels of charge-offs during this fiscal year and past quarter. However for the first nine months of the current fiscal year we are seeing some of our credit quality indicators reflect a positive trend. Total criticized and classified loans have decreased by $42.0 million over September 30, 2010 levels. Nonperforming loans increased $21.2 million from September 30, 2010 levels due mostly to the deterioration of one ADC relationship which had been classified as a substandard performing TDR (classified as non performing as of June 30, 2011) and net charge offs increased 36.6 percent compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010. Management of the loan portfolio and improvement of credit metrics continues to be a top priority and we remain cautious in our credit outlook as fluctuations of charge offs and problem assets are still occurring.

We continue to experience pressure on net interest income as low rates continue to have the effect of causing many assets to prepay or to be called. As of June 30, 2011, equilibrium was reached in our investment portfolio as we were able to purchase investment securities at rates approximately equal to the overall investment portfolio yield. 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 have declined, and may have an affect on our reinvestment opportunities. The low interest rate environment has also caused management to sell fixed rate conforming residential mortgages into the secondary market in order to reduce interest rate risk. This past quarter saw a slight uptick in the long term interest rates, which in turn were relayed to the residential mortgage market. A result was that management made a decision to retain a portion of 1-4 family originations this past quarter to improve margin as opposed to prior strategy of selling substantially all fixed rate conforming originations.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010

Total assets as of June 30, 2011 remained relatively unchanged decreasing $45.0 million or 1.5 percent from September 30, 2010. The gross loan portfolio accounts for $16.3 million of this decrease, as residential mortgages decreased $32.8 million and acquisition, development and construction loans decreased $37.9 million due to strong repayments of $25.3 million and were only partially offset by commercial real estate loan increases of $82.5 million. Cash and due from banks decreased by $45.3 million as the fiscal year end historically has a large cash position.

Net loans as of June 30, 2011 were $1.7 billion, essentially unchanged from September 30, 2010. The composition of the portfolio changed as a result of our emphasis on commercial lending and sales of substantially all new residential mortgage production. Commercial real estate loans increased $82.5 million, and Acquisition, Development and Construction loans (ADC) decreased $37.9 million to $193.3 million compared to $231.3 million as of September, 2010, primarily due to the repayments. Consumer loans decreased by $11.7 million, and residential loans decreased by $32.8 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2011. Total loan originations, including loans originated for sale were $447.8 million for the nine months ending June 30, 2011, while repayments were $416.0 million and sales of residential mortgages were $44.6 million. There were decreases in the loan loss reserves of $1.4 million in commercial business loans and $1.3 million of ADC, with increases of $702,000 in commercial real estate and $689,000 in residential mortgages. The variances were driven by modifications in reserve factors as well as changes in loan balances.

33

Total securities increased by $10.4 million, to $945.2 million at June 30, 2011 from $934.9 million at September 30, 2010. Securities purchases were $512.5 million, sales of securities were $293.3 million, and maturities, calls, and repayments were $200.4 million. Carrying values of securities were reduced by $11.5 million due to unrealized losses.

Core deposit and other intangible assets increased $1.3 million due to Provident Bank entering into a naming rights contract for Provident Bank Ball Park, net of amortization of $1.1 million.

Deposits as of June 30, 2011 were $2.1 billion, a decrease of $44.6 million, or 2.1 percent, from September 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011 transaction accounts were 36.6 percent of deposits, or $768.8 million compared to $945.5 million or 44.1 percent of deposits at September 30, 2010. Deposits received from municipalities for tax payments were approximately $219 million at September 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011 savings deposits were $428.1 million, an increase of $35.8 million or 9.1 percent. Money market accounts increased $85.1 million or 19.9 percent to $512.5 million at June 30, 2011. Certificate of deposit accounts increased by $11.1 million or 2.9 percent. As of June 30, 2011 the Company had $101.3 million in wholesale deposits with a weighted average rate of 0.29 percent included in total deposits.

Borrowings decreased by $13.4 million, or 3.2 percent, from September 2010, to $401.8 million. Borrowings decreased as $35 million in advances matured and seasonal municipal tax deposits were retained. The Company completed restructuring $89.1 million of FHLBNY advances during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 which had a weighted average rate of 3.69 percent and a duration of 2.2 years, into new borrowings with a weighted average rate of 2.63 percent, duration of 1.43 years and an annualized interest expense savings of approximately $945,000, assuming no increase in interest rates. Prepayment penalties of $5.2 million associated with the modifications are being amortized into interest expense over the modification period on a level yield basis.

Stockholders’ equity decreased $1.9 million from September 30, 2010 to $429.0 million at June 30, 2011. The decrease was due to a $2.6 million increase in treasury stock, and a $5.9 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, after realizing year to date securities gains of $5.5 million. These items were offset in part by a $5.7 million increase in the Company’s retained earnings and an increase of $882,000 due to stock based compensation items. For the 2011 fiscal year to date, the Company repurchased 274,454 shares of its common stock in the open market at a cost of $2.6 million under the treasury repurchase program. Future share repurchases will depend on, among other factors, market conditions, earnings levels and alternative uses of capital.

As of June 30, 2011 the Company had authorization to purchase up to additional 959,713 shares of common stock. Bank Tier I capital to assets was 8.77 percent at June 30, 2011. Tangible capital as a percentage of tangible assets at the consolidated company level was 9.37 percent.

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

The third quarter of fiscal 2011’s credit metrics were negatively impacted by the movement to non-performing loans of a $14 million ADC relationship previously classified (as of March 31, 2011) as a substandard performing TDR. This downgrade was due to a significant decline in sales activity in the project during the third quarter. This subsequently resulted in a charge-off of $2.0 million and an increase in loan loss provision of $1.5 million.

Net charge-offs for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 were $9.3 million (0.73 percent of average loans, on an annualized basis) compared to $6.8 million (0.54 percent of average loans, on an annualized basis) for the same period in the prior year.

Our year-to-date provision of $7.8 million resulted in a net decrease in the allowance for loan losses of $1.5 million, from $30.8 million at September 30, 2010 to $29.4 million at June 30, 2011.

Substandard loans at June 30, 2011 were $103.8 million compared to $132.1 million at September 30, 2010, while special mention loans went from $37.9 million at September 30, 2010 to $24.1 million at June 30, 2011. Net declines in ADC and commercial business loan portfolios were offset in part by net increases in commercial mortgages and residential loans.

Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2011 were $48.1 million compared to $26.8 million at September 30, 2010. The increase in non-performing loans was caused by $20.5 million in additions to non-performing ADC loans, net of a $2.0 million charge-off related to one borrower. Of loans classified as non-performing at September 30, 2010 we favorably resolved $8.2 million through upgrades or paydowns. Charge-offs were $2.8 million of those non-performing loans and $3.1 million was transferred to REO. In addition, a commercial construction loan of $6.7 million was classified as non-performing at December 31, 2010 and was subsequently refinanced, resulting in a $4.7 million performing loan and a $2.0 million loan paying as agreed but currently in non-performing status. At June 30, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was 61.1 percent of nonperforming loans and 1.7 percent of the average loan portfolio. At September 30, 2010, the allowance for loan losses was 115 percent of nonperforming loans and 1.81 percent of the average loan portfolio. The current weighted average loan to value of mortgage secured non performing loans before and after specific reserves was 80 percent and 77 percent, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.9 million or $0.05 per diluted share, a decrease of $2.8 million compared to $4.8 million or $0.12 per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal 2010. Excluding the after tax effect of net securities gains, the fair value adjustment of interest rate caps , and a defined benefit settlement and change in CEO charge net income was $0.07 per diluted share for the three month period ending June 30, 2011 and compared to $0.12 per diluted share for the three month period ending June 30, 2010. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $3.6 million, an increase of $850,000, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the three months ended June 30, 2011, decreased 21 basis points compared to the same period last year from 3.91 percent to 3.70 percent. Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2011, remained relatively unchanged at $5.2 million. Non-interest expense increased $1.9 million, or 9.3 percent, to $22.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $20.7 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to the retirement benefit settlement charge and costs associated with the change in the Company’s CEO of $1.5 million.

Earnings excluding securities gains, retirement benefit settlement charge and the fair value adjustment of interest rate caps are presented below. The Company presents earnings excluding these factors so that investors can better understand the results of the Company’s core banking operations and to better align with the views of the investment community.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $1.4 million, to $22.8 million, compared to $24.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Gross interest income on a tax-equivalent basis decreased by $2.6 million, or 8.2 percent, to $28.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $31.5 million for the same three months in 2010. General market interest rates have declined from the prior period. As a result the general levels of yields in the asset and liability structure of the Company’s balance sheet have declined. Further, as the Company restructured a large portion of its investment portfolio, the reinvestment of proceeds from sales into generally lower yielding securities resulted in additional declines in investment income. Interest expense decreased by $1.1 million with the primary decrease in certificates of deposit of $482,000 and borrowings of $724,000. The average costs of borrowings increased as a result in the change in the mix of shorter and long term advances.

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 $3.6 million in loan loss provisions for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. 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, 2011 were $4.3 million, which included $1.0 million of specific reserves recorded in prior periods.

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $64,000 to $5.2 million. The decrease was due mainly to net gains on sales of securities of $542,000 in third quarter fiscal 2011 compared to $945,000 in third quarter fiscal 2010. This decrease was offset in part by a lower fair value loss on interest rate caps and higher other income, as other categories of noninterest income were relatively stable.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by 9.3 percent, to $22.7 million, primarily due to charges associated with the change in CEO and the related defined benefit settlement charges of $1.5 million, REO expenses and occupancy expense offset in part by lower advertising and promotion, regulatory fees from FDIC insurance and intangible amortization. In addition, the third quarter of 2010 benefited from a recovery of $300,000 related to servicing costs of our ATM and debit card programs.

37

Income Tax The Company recorded an income tax credit for the third quarter of $187,000 compared to an effective tax rate of 20.6 percent for the same period in the prior year. The decline is due to tax exempt municipal securities and BOLI income being a larger portion of overall pretax income in the current period.

38

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010

Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $12.2 million or $0.33 per diluted share, a decrease of $2.9 million, compared to $15.1 million or $0.39 per diluted share for the same period in fiscal 2010. Excluding the after tax effect of net securities gains, the fair value adjustment of interest rate caps , and a defined benefit settlement charge and change in CEO, net income was $0.27 per diluted share and $0.33 per diluted share for the nine months ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, decreased by $1.5 million to $68.5 million, compared to $70.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The provision for loan losses was $7.8 million in both periods. Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, decreased 11 basis points compared to the same period last year from 3.79 percent to 3.68 percent. Non-interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, was $20.9 million, an increase of $1.4 million, compared to $19.5 million for the same period last year. The increase was due to higher gains on sale of securities and loans, and a lower fair value loss on interest rate caps, offset in part by lower deposit fees and service charges. Non-interest expense increased $3.9 million or 6.3 percent, to $65.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $61.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to charges associated with the change in CEO and defined benefit settlement charge of $1.8 million, and staffing and occupancy expenses for new offices in Westchester and Nyack, and professional fees.

Earnings excluding securities gains, retirement benefit settlement and change in CEO charge, and the fair value adjustment of interest rate caps are presented below. The Company presents earnings excluding these factors so that investors can better understand the results of the Company’s core banking operations and to better align with the views of the investment community.

³  Reflects tax equivalent adjustment for tax-exempt income based on a 35 percent federal rate.

Net interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $1.5 million to $68.5 million, compared to $70.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis decreased by $1.6 million to $71.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $73.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. As a result the general levels of yields in the asset and liability structure of the Company’s balance sheet have declined. Further, as the Company restructured a large portion of its investment portfolio, the reinvestment of proceeds from sales into generally lower yielding securities resulted in additional declines in investment income. Interest expense decreased by $4.1 million with the primary decrease in certificates of deposit of $2.3 million and borrowings of $2.0 million.

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. We recorded $7.8 million in loan loss provisions for nine months June 30, 2011, or $1.5 million less than net charge-offs. This compares to $7.8 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2010 with net charge-offs for the period of $6.8 million. Refer to the credit quality section for a discussion on net charge-offs and nonperforming loans.

Non-interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 increased $1.4 million to $20.9 million due to higher gains on sales of securities and loans, and a lower fair value loss on interest rate caps. Partially offsetting these increases in non interest income were lower deposit fees and service charges. The decline in fees is primarily related to changes in customer behavior regarding overdrafts.

Non-interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 increased $3.9 million to $65.7 million primarily due to increased retirement plan expense due to the retirement of the CEO, employee medical insurance, staffing for new offices in Westchester and Nyack, professional fees and occupancy costs for new locations. Offset in part by declines in stock based compensation expense and ATM service charge expense.

Income Tax The effective tax rate was 22.9 percent and 24.4 percent, for year to date fiscal 2011 and 2010 respectively. The decrease is mainly due to the elimination of the New York State Thrift bad debt deduction, but was offset by tax benefits generated by our captive insurance company as well as a larger proportion of tax exempt income related to pretax income.

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, 2011 and 2010, our loan originations totaled $447.8 million and $379.1 million, respectively. Purchases of securities available for sale totaled $505.8 million and $555.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Purchases of securities held to maturity totaled $6.7 million and $18.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These activities were funded primarily by sales of securities, by borrowings and by principal repayments on loans and securities. Loan origination commitments totaled $62.4 million at June 30, 2011, and consisted of $54.5 million at adjustable or variable rates and $7.9 million at fixed rates. Unused lines of credit granted to customers were $321.5 million at June 30, 2011. 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 $56.5 million and $50.9 million at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, 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 decrease in total deposits was $44.6 million and $121.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 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 markets continue to improve during fiscal 2011 when compared to fiscal 2010. Credit spreads narrowed steadily during the past year and many are very near historically low levels. Nevertheless, loan demand remains muted causing liquidity to remain high. Furthermore, the extremely low interest rate environment caused our deposits to remain at elevated levels which has 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. However, much of this liquidity is held in the form of very short-term securities. The preference of depositors to stay short could portend potential liquidity reductions in the future and possibly put pressure on us to raise rates in the future 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 $401.8 million was outstanding at June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2011, we had the ability to borrow an additional $172.9 million under our credit facilities with the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Bank may borrow up to an additional $367.5 million by pledging securities not required to be pledged for other purposes as of June 30, 2011. Further, at June 30, 2011 we had $101.4 million in Brokered Deposits (including certificates of deposit accounts registry service (CDAR’s) reciprocal CD’s of $8.0 million) and have relationships with several brokers to utilize these low cost sources of funding should conditions warrant further sources of funds.

The Bank provides supplemental reporting of Non-GAAP tangible equity ratios as management believes this information is useful to investors. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s tangible capital as a percent of tangible assets increased to 9.37 percent, and its tangible book value decreased to $6.93 per share, compared to September 30, 2010. The following table shows the reconciliation of tangible equity and the tangible equity ratio:

	June 30,			September 30,
	2011			2010
Total assets	$	2,976,057		$	3,021,025
Goodwill and other amortizable intangibles		(165,828	)		(164,501	)
Tangible assets	$	2,810,229		$	2,856,524
Stockholders’ equity	$	429,037		$	430,955
Goodwill and other amortizable intangibles		(165,828	)		(164,501	)
Tangible stockholders’ equity	$	263,209		$	266,454

Tangible capital as a % of tangible assets (consolidated)		9.37	%		9.33	%
Tangible book value per share	$	6.93		$	6.96

The Company declared a dividend of $0.06 per share payable on August 18, 2011 to stockholders of record on August 8, 2011.

The following table sets forth the Bank’s regulatory capital position at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, compared to OTS requirements:

Total		265,148		13.3			159,002		8.0	%		198,752		10.0

The levels are well above current regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized. Management is currently studying the impact on capital 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, 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.

43

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, ADC 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 net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV 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 NPV and NII. The table below sets forth, as of June 30, 2011, the estimated changes in our (1) NPV 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.

Change in				Estimated Increase (Decrease)								Increase (Decrease) in
Interest Rates		Estimated		in NPV						Estimated		Estimated NII
(basis points)		NPV		Amount			Percent			NII		Amount			Percent
(Dollars in thousands)
	+300	$	301,808	$	(37,466	)		-11.0	%	$	91,661	$	4,689			5.4	%
	+200		314,069		(25,205	)		-7.4	%		90,583		3,611			4.2	%
	+100		327,155		(12,119	)		-3.6	%		89,034		2,062			2.4	%
	0		339,274		0			0.0	%		86,972		0			0.0	%
	-100		344,381		5,107			1.5	%		80,839		(6,133	)		-7.1	%

The table set forth above indicates that at June 30, 2011, in the event of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would be expected to experience a 7.4 percent decrease in NPV and a 4.2 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 NPV and NII beyond -100 basis points.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV 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 NPV 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 NPV 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 2011, the federal funds target rate remained in a range of 0.00 – 0.25 percent as the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) did not change the target overnight lending rate. U.S. Treasury yields in the two year maturities increased by 3 basis points from 0.42 percent to 0.45 percent during the first three quarters of fiscal year 2011 while the yield on U.S. Treasury 10 year notes increased 65 basis points from 2.53 percent to 3.18 percent over the same time period. The disproportionately greater rate of increase on longer term maturities has resulted in the 2-10 year treasury yield curve being steeper at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011 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”. 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 disproportionably more than the longer end thereby resulting in margin compression. We hold $50 million in notional principal of interest rate caps to help mitigate this risk. Should rates not increase sufficiently to collect on such derivatives; the fair value of this derivative would decline and eventually mature. The net value at risk is $235.
