INVESTORS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements are comprised of the accounts of Investors Bancorp, Inc. and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Investors Savings Bank (Bank) (collectively, the Company) and the
Banks wholly-owned significant subsidiaries, ISB Mortgage Company LLC and ISB Asset Corporation.
On June 6, 2008, the Company completed its merger of Summit Federal Bankshares, Inc. (Summit
Federal). This transaction involved the combination of mutual enterprises and, therefore, was
accounted for as a pooling of interests. All financial information has been restated to include
amounts for Summit Federal, based on historical costs, for all periods presented.
In the opinion of management, all the adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments)
necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition and the consolidated
results of operations for the unaudited periods presented have been included. The results of
operations and other data presented for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 2009.
Certain information and note disclosures usually included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the
preparation of the Form 10-Q. The consolidated financial statements presented should be read in
conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated
financial statements included in the Companys June 30, 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. Mergers and Acquisitions
On December 15, 2008, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which the
Company will acquire American Bancorp of New Jersey, a community bank with $622 million in assets,
$448 million in deposits and five branches in Essex and Passaic Counties. The transaction is
expected to close in the second calendar quarter of 2009, subject to customary closing conditions
including regulatory approvals and approval by American Bancorp of New Jerseys shareholders.

4. Securities Impairment
The Company recorded a $156.7 million pre-tax non-cash OTTI charge on our pooled bank trust
preferred CDOs during the six months ended December 31, 2008. As a result of the charge, the
securities have an amortized cost of $20.8 million. The Company has the ability and intent to hold
these securities until their maturity, or recovery, and the majority of the securities are
performing in accordance with contractual terms. However, the impairment was recognized as
management does not believe that the securities market values will recover within the foreseeable
future. These securities will continue to be classified as held-to-maturity. Additionally, during
the six months ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded a $456,000 pre-tax non-cash OTTI
charge on the AMF Ultra Short Mortgage Fund (AMF), and $791,000 pre-tax charge on the redemption
in kind of the AMF, a mutual fund acquired in the June 2008 merger with Summit Federal.

7. Equity Incentive Plan
During the six months ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded $5.3 million of share-based
expense, comprised of stock option expense of $2.2 million and restricted stock expense of $3.1
million.
During the six months ended December 31, 2008, 365,000 options with an exercise price of $13.69
and a grant date fair value of $4.07 were granted and 7,500 options with an exercise price of
$15.35 and a grant date fair value of $4.10 were forfeited. At December 31, 2008, 5,136,752
options, with a weighted average exercise price of $15.02 and a weighted average grant date fair
value of $4.11, were outstanding, of which 3,368,792 were unvested. Expected future expense
relating to the 3.4 million non-vested options outstanding as of December 31, 2008 is $12.3 million
over a weighted average period of 3.23 years.
During the six months ended December 31, 2008, 125,000 shares of restricted stock with a grant date
fair value of $13.69 were granted and 333,389 shares with a grant date fair value of $15.25 were
vested. At December 31, 2008, 1,261,923 shares of restricted stock, with a weighted
7
average grant
date fair value of $14.89, are unvested. Expected future compensation expense relating to the 1.3
million restricted shares at December 31, 2008 is $16.6 million over a weighted average period of
4.0 years.
8. Net Periodic Benefit Plans Expense
The Company has a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP). The SERP is a nonqualified, defined
benefit plan which provides benefits to all employees of the Company if their benefits and/or
contributions under the pension plan are limited by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company also has
a nonqualified, defined benefit plan which provides benefits to its directors. The SERP and the
Directors plan are unfunded and the costs of the plans are recognized over the period that
services are provided. Effective December 31, 2006, the Company limited participation in the
Directors plan to the then current participants and placed a cap on directors fees for plan purposes
at the December 31, 2006 rate.
The Company also provided (i) postretirement health care benefits to retired employees hired prior
to April 1991 who attained at least ten years of service and (ii) certain life insurance benefits
to all retired employees. During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company curtailed the benefits
to current employees and settled its obligations to retired employees.

Due to the unfunded nature of these plans, no contributions are expected to be made to the SERP and
Directors plans and other benefit plans in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
The
Company also maintains a defined benefit pension plan for eligible
employees. Since it is a multiemployer plan, costs
of the pension plan are based on contributions required to be made to the pension plan. The Company
contributed $614,000 to the defined benefit pension plan during the first six months of fiscal year
2009. We anticipate contributing funds to the plan to meet any minimum funding requirements.
Summit Federal, at the time of merger, had a funded non-contributory defined benefit pension plan
covering all eligible employees, an unfunded non-qualified defined benefit SERP for the benefit of
certain key employees and a postretirement life insurance benefit plan for the benefit of key
employees. At December 31, 2008, the pension plan, SERP plan and postretirement life insurance
plan had an accrued liability of $840,000, $981,000 and $346,000, respectively. At December 31,
2008, the charges recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the pension plan, the SERP
plan and the postretirement life insurance plan were $1,228,000, $223,000 and $180,000,
respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the expense related to these
plans was $175,000 and $104,000, respectively.
9. Income Taxes
Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, or FIN 48, which clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in
accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure
and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial
adoption of this standard. Tax positions must meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold
at the effective date in order for the related tax benefits to be recognized or continue to be
recognized
upon adoption of FIN 48. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $300,000
decrease in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as an addition to
the July 1, 2007, balance of retained earnings. The Company recognizes accrued interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, where applicable, in income tax expense.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in the state of
New Jersey jurisdiction. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to federal and state income
tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2003. Currently, the Company is not under
examination by any taxing authority.
10. Fair Value Measurements
Effective July 1, 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 157
Fair Value Measurements and related interpretations, which defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No.
157 applies only to fair value measurements already required or permitted by other accounting
standards and does not impose requirements for additional fair value measures.
9
The following disclosures, which include certain disclosures which are generally not required in
interim period financial statements, are included herein as a result of our adoption of SFAS No.
157.
We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities
and to determine fair value disclosures. Our securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair
value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair
value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as held-to-maturity securites,
mortgage servicing rights, or MSR, loans receivable and real estate owned, or REO. These
non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting
or write-downs of individual assets. Additionally, in connection with our mortgage banking
activities we have commitments to fund loans held for sale and commitments to sell loans, which are
considered free-standing derivative instruments, the fair values of which are not material to our
financial condition or results of operations.
In accordance with SFAS No. 157, we group our assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels,
based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to
determine fair value. These levels are:
|
|
Level 1 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical
instruments traded in active markets. |
|
|
|
Level 2 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar
instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar
instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation
techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the
market. |
|
|
|
Level 3 Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use
significant assumptions not observable in the market. These
unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models,
discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The results cannot
be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale
or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. |
We base our fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No.
157 requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value.
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on
a recurring basis.
Securities available-for-sale
Our available-for-sale portfolio is carried at estimated fair value on a recurring basis, with any
unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income/loss
in stockholders equity. Approximately 99% of our securities available-for-sale portfolio consists
of mortgage-backed securities. The fair values of these securities are obtained from an independent
nationally recognized pricing service. Our independent pricing service provides us with prices
which are categorized as Level 2, as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are
generally not available for the majority of securities in our portfolio. Various modeling
techniques are used to determine pricing for our mortgage-backed securities, including option
pricing and discounted cash flow models. The inputs to these models include benchmark
10
yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets,
benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. The remaining 1% of our securities
available-for-sale portfolio is comprised primarily of private fund investments for which the
issuer provides us prices which are categorized as Level 2, as quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets are generally not available.
The following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying
value of our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2008.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on
a non-recurring basis.
Securities held-to-maturity
Our held-to-maturity portfolio, consisting primarily of mortgage backed securities and other debt
securities for which we have a positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, is carried at
amortized cost. We conduct a periodic review and evaluation of the held-to-maturity portfolio to
determine if the value of any security has declined below its cost or amortized cost, and whether
such decline is other-than-temporary. Management utilizes various inputs to determine the fair
value of the portfolio. To the extent they exist, unadjusted quoted market prices in active
markets (level 1) or quoted prices on similar assets (level 2) are utilized to determine the fair
value of each investment in the portfolio. In the absence of quoted prices and in an illiquid
market, valuation techniques, which require inputs that are both significant to the fair value
measurement and unobservable (level 3), are used to determine fair value of the investment.
Valuation techniques are based on various assumptions, including, but not limited to cash flows,
discount rates, rate of return, adjustments for nonperformance and liquidity, and liquidation
values. If such decline is deemed other-than-temporary, we would adjust the cost basis of the
security by writing down the security to fair market value through a charge to current period
operations. For the six months ended December 31, 2008, the
Company recognized an OTTI charge on our pooled trust preferred CDOs,
for which level 2 was used as quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets were not available.
Mortgage Servicing Rights, net
Mortgage Servicing Rights are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The estimated
fair value of MSR is obtained through independent third party valuations through an analysis of
future cash flows, incorporating estimates of assumptions market participants would use in
determining fair value including market discount rates, prepayment speeds, servicing income,
servicing costs, default rates and other market driven data, including the markets perception of
future interest rate movements and, as such, are classified as Level 3.
Loans Receivable
Loans which meet certain criteria are evaluated individually for impairment. A loan is deemed to be
impaired if it is a commercial real estate, multi-family or construction loan with an
11
outstanding
balance greater than $3.0 million and on non-accrual status. Our impaired loans are generally
collateral dependent and, as such, are carried at the estimated fair value of the collateral less
estimated selling costs. Fair value is estimated through current appraisals, and adjusted as
necessary, by management, to reflect current market conditions and, as such, are generally
classified as Level 3.
The following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying
value of our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2008.

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.141R, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R requires most
identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business
combination to be recorded at full fair value. SFAS No. 141R applies to all business
combinations, including combinations among mutual entities and combinations by contract alone.
Under SFAS No. 141R, all business combinations will be accounted for by applying the acquisition
method. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition
date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date. The Company does not expect that the
adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements. SFAS No. 160 will require noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority
interests) to be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item
outside of permanent equity. SFAS No. 160 applies to the accounting for noncontrolling interests
and transactions with noncontrolling interest holders in consolidated financial statements. SFAS
No. 160 is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier application is
prohibited. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative
instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better
understand their effects on an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company does not expect
that the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
12
In June 2008, EITF 03-6-1 was issued which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based
payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be
included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share. The Statement is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company
does not expect that the adoption of EITF 03-6-1 will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In January 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment
Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20. This FASB Staff Position (FSP) amends the impairment guidance
in EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial
Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized
Financial Assets. The FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary
impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and other related guidance.
The FSP shall be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008.
The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Executive Summary
Investors Bancorps fundamental business strategy is to be a well capitalized, full service
community bank, providing high quality customer service and competitively priced products and
services to individuals and businesses in the communities we serve. Our results of operations
depend primarily on net interest income, which is directly impacted by the market interest rate
environment. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our
interest-earning assets, primarily mortgage loans and investment securities, and the interest we
pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, primarily time deposits, interest-bearing transaction
accounts and borrowed funds. Net interest income is affected by the shape of the market yield
curve, the timing of the placement and re-pricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities on our balance sheet, and the prepayment rate on our mortgage-related assets.
The Companys results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic conditions.
The financial services industry continues to face highly volatile and adverse economic conditions.
The significant contributors to the disruptions include subprime mortgage lending, illiquidity in
the capital and credit markets and the decline of real estate values. The U.S. governments
attempts to respond to the crisis affecting the financial services industry has not, to date,
stabilized U.S. financial markets. While the government indicates it will continue to support the
financial services industry, it is difficult to determine how the various government programs will
impact the banking industry.
During the quarter, the Company recognized a $152.8 million pre-tax, ($90.6 million after-tax, or
$0.87 per share), non-cash other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charge related to our portfolio
of pooled bank trust preferred collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). The portfolio is comprised
of 31 securities whose book value of $173.6 million has been reduced to $20.8 million as a result
of this charge. Since purchase, the Company had received all payments due under the contractual
terms through September 30, 2008. For the quarter ended December 31, 2008 the Company received
98.5% of the contractual payments due. The Company continues to have the ability and intent to hold
these securities until their maturity, or recovery. The impairment was recognized because the
market value of these securities continued to decline during the quarter and we do not believe the
market value of these securities will recover within the foreseeable future. While the accounting
rules for other-than-temporary impairment requires us to recognize this non-cash charge, we believe
that actual losses will be less than this non-cash charge. Despite this charge, the Company
maintains a strong tangible capital ratio of 10.48% and is considered well capitalized under
regulatory guidelines.
The Company announced during the quarter that after careful consideration, it decided not to
participate in the Treasury Departments Capital Purchase Program which is part of the broader
Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). In reaching this decision, the Company felt its strong
capital position and conservative lending practices would allow it to continue originating loans to
qualified individuals and businesses in its local market and navigate through this difficult
economic environment. In addition, the Companys mutual holding company parent, Investors Bancorp
MHC, currently owns approximately 60% of the Companys outstanding stock. The Company therefore has
the ability to raise additional capital through a second step stock offering.
Given our strong capital position, we believe we are well positioned to deal with this economic
uncertainty and take advantages of opportunities to enhance our franchise.
On December 15th, 2008 the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement under
which the Company will acquire American Bancorp of New Jersey, a community bank with $622 million
in assets, $448 million in deposits and five branches in Essex and Passaic Counties. The
transaction is expected to close in the second calendar quarter of 2009, subject to customary
closing conditions including regulatory approvals and approval by American Bancorp of New Jerseys
shareholders. American is a well managed financial institution that maintains a strong credit
culture and will help to enhance our geographic presence in New Jersey.
During 2008 the Federal Reserve lowered the Fed Funds rate by over 400 basis points which helped to
reduce the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities by 105 basis points. Our core deposits have
grown for the period as we continue to focus on this aspect of our business. In addition, core
deposits have increased as depositors searched for well capitalized banks amidst the turmoil
surrounding a number of larger financial institutions in our market.
This disruption in the financial markets has created an opportunity for us to add more loans as
many financial institutions have reduced or stopped lending. Total loans increased to $5.62 billion
at December 31, 2008 from $4.66 billion at June 30, 2008, an increase of 20.6%. The majority of the
growth came from residential mortgage loans which grew 17.2%, or $690.2 million to $4.70 billion.
In order to diversify our loan portfolio we have continued our expansion into commercial real
estate lending. During the three months ended December 31, 2008 commercial real estate,
construction and multi-family loans increased $272.1 million or 56.1%. As a result of strong loan
growth that exceeded the available cash flows from the investment, loan and deposit portfolios,
borrowed funds increased $570.0 million, or 36.5%, to $2.13 billion at December 31, 2008 from $1.56
billion at June 30, 2008. As we add more loans to our balance sheet we remain focused on maintaining
our historically strict underwriting standards. We have never originated or purchased, and our
portfolio does not include, any sub-prime loans.
During the six months ended December 31, 2008, we recorded a $13.0 million provision for loan
losses. As our loan portfolio continues to grow and we increase the amount of commercial real
estate loans, we believe higher loans loss provisions are prudent and necessary especially in light
of the current economic environment. It is difficult to determine how the economy will fare in 2009
as we are faced with the uncertainty surrounding rising unemployment in our lending area,
specifically, the financial services sector. We will monitor our loan portfolio carefully and
continue our practices of conservative loan underwriting. Our strong capital position will help us
navigate this difficult and unprecedented environment.
Excluding OTTI charges, net income was $7.6 million and $15.6 million for the three month and six
month periods ended December 31, 2008, respectively, compared to $3.6 million and $6.2 million for
the three month and six month periods ended December 31, 2007, respectively.
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008
Total Assets. Total assets increased by $764.6 million, or 11.9%, to $7.18 billion at December 31,
2008 from $6.42 billion at June 30, 2008. This increase was largely the result of the growth in
our loan portfolio partially offset by the decrease in our securities portfolio.
Net Loans. Net loans, including loans held for sale, increased by $955.2 million, or 20.4%, to
$5.64 billion at December 31, 2008 from $4.68 billion at June 30, 2008. As many financial
institutions have curtailed their lending operations, we have taken advantage of this opportunity
to increase our loan portfolio without compromising our underwriting standards. The loans we
originate and purchase are on properties in New Jersey and states in close proximity to New
13
Jersey.
We do not originate or purchase and our loan portfolio does not include any sub-prime loans.
We originate residential mortgage loans directly and through our mortgage subsidiary, ISB Mortgage
Co. During the six months ended December 31, 2008 we originated $217.9 million in residential
mortgage loans. In addition, we purchase mortgage loans from correspondent entities including other
banks and mortgage bankers. Our agreements with these correspondent entities require them to
originate loans that adhere to our underwriting standards. During the six months ended December 31,
2008, we purchased loans totaling $542.5 million from these entities. We also purchase pools of
mortgage loans in the secondary market on a bulk purchase basis from several well-established
financial institutions. During the six months ended December 31, 2008, we purchased $279.6 million of residential mortgage loans that met our underwriting
criteria on a bulk purchase basis.
For the six months ended December 31, 2008, we originated $46.5 million in multi-family loans,
$84.0 million commercial real estate loans and $89.6 million in construction loans. We also
purchased $100.9 million of multi-family loans in the secondary market on a bulk purchase basis.
This activity is consistent with our strategy to diversify our loan portfolio by adding more
multi-family, commercial real estate and construction loans.
The Company also originates interest-only one-to four-family mortgage loans in which the borrower
makes only interest payments for the first five, seven or ten years of the mortgage loan term.
This feature will result in future increases in the borrowers loan repayment when the
contractually required repayments increase due to the required amortization of the principal
amount. These payment increases could affect the borrowers ability to repay the loan. The amount
of interest-only one-to four-family mortgage loans at December 31, 2008 was $532.5 million compared
to $450.0 million at June 30, 2008. The ability of borrowers to repay their obligations are
dependent upon various factors including the borrowers income and net worth, cash flows generated
by the underlying collateral, value of the underlying collateral and priority of the Companys lien
on the property. Such factors are dependent upon various economic conditions and individual
circumstances beyond the Companys control. The Company is, therefore, subject to risk of loss. The
Company maintains stricter underwriting criteria for these interest-only loans than it does for its
amortizing loans. The Company believes this criteria adequately minimize the potential
exposure to such risks and that adequate provisions for loan losses are provided for all known and
inherent risks.
The allowance for loan losses increased by $13.0 million to $26.5 million at December 31, 2008 from
$13.6 million at June 30, 2008. Total non-performing loans, defined as non-accruing loans, were
$47.8 million at December 31, 2008, $42.1 million at September 30, 2008 and $19.4 million at June
30, 2008. The majority of the increase from June 30, 2008 was the result of the previously
disclosed $19.4 million multi-family loan to a New Jersey developer that was 30 days delinquent at
June 30, 2008 and is now on non-accrual. Based on the current loan to value of approximately 55%,
management believes that the probability of loss on this loan is low. Non-performing loans at
December 31, 2008 are comprised of the following; 39 residential loans
totaling $10.3 million; 5 multi-family and commercial loans totaling $20.4 million, which includes
the $19.4 million loan described above; and 5 construction loans totaling $17.0 million that have
specific reserves of $5.8 million. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.85% at
December 31, 2008, 0.79% at September 30, 2008 and 0.42% at June 30, 2008. The allowance for loan
losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 55.5% at December 31, 2008, 44.0% at September
30, 2008 and 70.0% at June 30, 2008. Our allowance for loan losses
14
as a percentage of total loans
was 0.47% at December 31, 2008, 0.35% at September 30, 2008 and 0.29% at June 30, 2008.
In addition to non-performing loans we continue to monitor our portfolio for potential problem
loans. Potential problem loans are defined as loans about which we have concerns as to the ability
of the borrower to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may cause the loan to be
placed on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has three commercial real estate loans
totaling $2.3 million and three construction loans totaling $23.9 million that it deemed potential
problem loans. Four of the construction loans are current and two are 30 days delinquent.
Management is actively monitoring these loans.
Future increases in the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on the growth of the loan
portfolio, the change in composition of the loan portfolio, possible future increases in
non-performing loans and charge-offs, and the impact of the deterioration of the real estate and
economic environments in our lending area. Although we use the best information available, the
level of allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and
short-term change. See Critical Accounting Policies.
Securities. Securities, in the aggregate, decreased by $298.8 million, or 20.5%, to $1.16 billion
at December 31, 2008, from $1.46 billion at June 30, 2008. The decrease is primarily the result of
the Company writing-down the book value of pooled bank trust preferred CDOs through a $156.7
million pre-tax non-cash OTTI charge during the six months ended December 31, 2008. At June 30,
2008, the portfolio of pooled bank trust preferred CDOs contained securities with an amortized cost
of $13.1 million which had an investment grade rating of AAA and $165.6 million with an investment
grade rating of A. During the six month period ended December 31, 2008, Moodys rating agency
downgraded a number of these securities. Based on the Moodys downgrades, the investment ratings as
of December 31, 2008 were $5.8 million with an investment grade of AAA; $2.7 million with an
investment grade of A; $3.6 million with an investment grade of BBB; and $8.7 million that are
below investment grade. The impairment, which reduced the amortized cost of our portfolio of trust
preferred CDOs to $20.8 million, was recognized as we do not believe that the securities market
value will recover within the foreseeable future. The Company has the ability and intent to hold
these securities until their maturity, or recovery, and the majority of the securities are
performing in accordance with contractual terms. These securities will continue to be classified
as held-to-maturity.
The securities portfolio also includes private label mortgage backed securities with an
amortized cost of $190.7 million and a fair value of $173.8 million. Of these securities, $189.2
million in amortized cost, $172.2 million in fair value, are currently AAA rated and were
originated in the period 2002-2004 and are performing in accordance with contractual terms. Given
the decline in market value, several securities were evaluated for OTTI and management has
determined that they are not OTTI at December 31, 2008. The decrease in fair value for these
securities is attributed to changes in market interest rates. The remaining private label
securities were received in the AMF redemption-in-kind exchange during the period ended
December 31, 2008 and recorded at market value. The Company will continue to closely monitor the private
label mortgage backed securities portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment which could result
in a future non-cash charge to earnings.
As part of the merger with Summit Federal in June 2008, we acquired a $6.0 million mutual fund
investment in AMF, which was deemed OTTI and was written down to fair value through pre-tax charges
totaling $651,000 during the year ended June 30, 2008. The Company recorded an
15
additional $456,000,
pre-tax non-cash OTTI charge during the six months ended December 31, 2008. Management decided to
liquidate this investment upon completion of the merger and had received $500,000 in cash
liquidations through September 30, 2008, which represented the maximum allowable cash redemption by
the asset manager for that time period. With the continued deterioration in the net asset value of
AMF, management exercised a redemption-in-kind option available to shareholders. The
redemption-in-kind allowed the Company to redeem its remaining shares in AMF for its pro-rata share
of the underlying securities and cash. The Company received securities, primarily agency and
private label mortgage-backed securities, totaling $3.9 million and $613,000 in cash. The
securities were recorded at market value resulting in an additional $791,000 pre-tax charge related
to the exchange.
Net Deferred Tax Asset. Net deferred tax asset
increased by $68.0 million from $40.7 million at
June 30, 2008 to $108.7 million at December 31, 2008 which is primarily attributed to the tax
benefit recorded as a result of the OTTI charge on our pooled bank trust preferred CDOs. Based on
current facts and circumstances, the Company believes that
it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will be realized.
Stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank, Bank Owned Life Insurance and Other Assets. The amount of
stock we own in the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) increased by $25.7 million from $60.9 million at
June 30, 2008 to $86.6 million at December 31, 2008 as a result of an increase in our level of
borrowings at December 31, 2008. There was also an increase in accrued interest receivable of $5.2
million resulting from an increase in the average balance of our interest-earning assets.
Additionally, bank owned life insurance increased by $2.0 million from $96.2 million at June 30,
2008 to $98.2 million at December 31, 2008.
Deposits. Deposits increased by $262.4 million, or 6.6%, to $4.23 billion at December 31, 2008 from
$3.97 billion at June 30, 2008. Certificates of deposits, checking account deposits, and money
market account deposits increased by $143.5 million, $92.7 million and $50.3 million, respectively.
These increases were partially offset by a $24.1 million decrease in savings account deposits.
Borrowed Funds. Borrowed funds increased $570.0 million, or 36.5%, to $2.13 billion at December 31,
2008 from $1.56 billion at June 30, 2008. We utilized wholesale borrowings to fund a portion of our
loan growth because of the lower rates available in the wholesale markets.
Stockholders Equity. Stockholders equity decreased $74.7 million to $753.8 million at December
31, 2008 from $828.5 million at June 30, 2008 primarily due
to net loss of $77.5 million for the
six months ended December 31, 2008. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in additional
paid-in capital for compensation costs associated with stock options and restricted stock.
Average Balance Sheets for the Three Months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
The following table presents certain information regarding Investors Bancorp, Inc.s financial
condition and net interest income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 and
2007. The table presents the annualized average yield on interest-earning assets and the
annualized average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. We derived the yields and costs by
dividing annualized income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. We derived average balances
from daily balances over the periods indicated. Interest income includes fees that we consider
adjustments to yields.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
Net Income. The Company incurred a net loss of $83.0 million for the three months ended December
31, 2008 compared to net income of $3.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Basic
loss per share was $0.80 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to basic and diluted
earnings of $0.03 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
The Company recognized a $152.8 million pre-tax, ($90.6 million after-tax, or $0.87 per share),
non-cash OTTI charge for the three months ended December 31, 2008 related to our portfolio of
pooled bank trust preferred CDOs. The portfolio is comprised of 31 securities whose book value of
$173.6 million has been reduced to $20.8 million as a result of this charge. Since purchase, the
Company had received all payments due under the contractual terms through September 30, 2008. For
the quarter ended December 31, 2008 the Company received 98.5% of the contractual payments due.
The Company continues to have the ability and intent to hold these securities until their maturity,
or recovery.
The impairment was recognized because the market value of these securities continued to decline
during the quarter and we do not believe the market value of these securities will recover within
the foreseeable future. While following the accounting rules for other-than-temporary impairment
requires us to take this non-cash charge, we believe that actual losses will be less than
this non-cash charge.
Net Interest Income. Our net interest margin for the three months and six months ended December 31,
2008 was positively impacted by the Federal Reserve lowering the Fed Funds rate by over 400 basis
points during the last year. This resulted in a steeper yield curve which allowed us to borrow
money at lower rates and reduce deposit rates while keeping mortgage rates relatively stable.
Net interest income increased by $18.3 million, or 74.5%, to $42.9 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2008 from $24.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The
increase was caused primarily by a 105 basis point decrease in our cost of interest-bearing
liabilities to 3.29% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from 4.34% for the three months
ended December 31, 2007. This was partially offset by an 8 basis point decrease in our yield on
interest-earning assets to 5.39% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from 5.47% for the
three months ended December 31, 2007. Our net interest margin improved by 75 basis points from
1.70% for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to 2.45% for the three months ended December 31,
2008.
Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income increased by $15.4 million, or
19.5%, to $94.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $79.1 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2007. This increase is attributed to the average balance of
interest-earning assets increasing $1.24 billion, or 21.4%, to $7.02 billion for the three months
ended December 31, 2008 from $5.78 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2007. This was
partially offset by an 8 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on interest-earning
assets to 5.39% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to 5.47% for the three months
ended December 31, 2007.
19
Interest income on loans increased by $21.1 million, or 36.9%, to $78.3 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2008 from $57.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007,
reflecting a $1.57 billion, or 39.4%, increase in the average balance of net loans to $5.54 billion
for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $3.97 billion for the three months ended December
31, 2007. The average yield on loans decreased 10 basis points to 5.65% for the three months ended
December 31, 2008 from 5.75% for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
Interest income on all other interest-earning assets, excluding loans, decreased by $5.7 million,
or 25.9%, to $16.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $21.9 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2007. This decrease reflected a $326.8 million decrease in the
average balance of all other interest-earning assets, excluding loans, and a 47 basis point
decrease in the average yield on all other interest-earning assets, excluding loans, to 4.39% for
the three months ended December 31, 2008 from 4.86% for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased by $2.9 million, or 5.3%, to $51.6 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $54.5 million for the three months ended December 31,
2007. This decrease was due to the weighted average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities
decreasing 105 basis points to 3.29% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to 4.34%
for the three months ended December 31, 2007. This was partially offset by the average balance of
total interest-bearing liabilities increasing by $1.24 billion, or 24.7%, to $6.27 billion for the
three months ended December 31, 2008 from $5.03 billion for the three months ended December 31,
2007.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $8.1 million, or 20.3% to $31.9 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $40.1 million for the three months ended December 31,
2007. This decrease was due to a 107 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing
deposits to 3.12% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from 4.19% for the three months
ended December 31, 2007. This was partially offset by the average balance of interest-bearing
deposits increasing $267.6 million, or 7.0% to $4.09 billion for the three months ended December
31, 2008 from $3.82 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
Interest expense on borrowed funds increased by $5.2 million, or 36.3%, to $19.7 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2008 from $14.4 million for the three months ended December 31,
2007. This increase is due to the average balance of borrowed funds increasing by $972.9 million or
81.0%, to $2.17 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $1.20 billion for the
three months ended December 31, 2007. This was partially offset by the
average cost of borrowed funds decreasing 118 basis points to 3.62% for the three months ended
December 31, 2008 from 4.80% for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
Provision for Loan Losses. Our provision for loan losses was $8.0 million for the three month
period ended December 31, 2008 compared to $1.8 million for the three month period ended December
31, 2007. For the three months ended December 31, 2008, net charge-offs totaled $14,000 compared to
net charge-offs of $4,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The increase in our
provision is due to continued growth in the loan portfolio; an additional $2.0 million specific
reserve on a previously disclosed $11.0 million impaired loan; the increased
20
inherent credit risk
in our overall portfolio, particularly the credit risk associated with commercial real estate
lending; an increase in loan delinquency and non-performing loans; and the adverse economic
conditions in our lending area. See discussion of the allowance for loan losses and non-accrual
loans in Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008.
Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income decreased by $154.2 million to a loss of $152.0
million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from income of $2.2 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of a $152.8 million pre-tax
non-cash OTTI charge recognized on our pooled bank trust preferred CDOs for the three months ended
December 31, 2008. Due to a lack of liquidity in the market and the prolonged broker price
deterioration for these securities, we do not believe the market value of these securities will
recover within the foreseeable future. Additionally, during the three months ended December 31,
2008 we took an additional $791,000 pre-tax charge on the redemption in kind of the AMF, a mutual
fund acquired in the June 2008 merger with Summit Federal.
Non-interest Expenses. Total non-interest expenses increased by $3.5 million, or 18.2%, to $22.8
million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $19.3 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2007. Included in the prior year quarter was a $2.3 million gain recognized from the
curtailment and settlement of our postretirement benefit obligation. Excluding this item, the net
increase of $1.2 million is attributed to Federal deposit insurance premiums increasing by $564,000
as we exhausted our FDIC One-Time Assessment Credit; compensation and fringe benefits increasing as
a result of staff additions in our commercial real estate, retail banking areas and our mortgage
company as well as equity incentive plan expense increasing for grants made during 2008; and the
cost associated with opening a new branch.
Income Taxes. Income tax benefit was $57.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008
representing an effective tax benefit rate of 40.7% for the period. The benefit is primarily the
result of the OTTI charge taken on our pooled trust preferred securities which is described above.
There was an income tax expense of $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
Net Income. The Company incurred a net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2008 of $77.5
million compared to net income of $6.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007. Basic
loss per share was $0.75 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to basic and diluted
earnings of $0.06 per share for the six months ended December 31, 2007. For the six month period
ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded OTTI charges of $156.7 million on the pooled trust
preferred CDOs and $456,000 on the AMF. See discussion of
securities and the OTTI charge in Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2008 and
June 30, 2008.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $34.8 million, or 74.3%, to $81.6 million for
the six months ended December 31, 2008 from $46.9 million for the six months ended December 31,
2007. The increase was caused primarily by a 103 basis point decrease in our cost of
interest-bearing liabilities to 3.35% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from 4.38% for the
six months ended December 31, 2007. This was partially offset by a 4 basis point decrease in our
yield on interest-earning assets to 5.40% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from 5.44% for
the six months ended December 31, 2007. Our net interest margin
21
improved by 78 basis points from
1.64% for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to 2.42% for the six months ended December 31,
2008.
Our net interest margin for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008 was positively
impacted by the Federal Reserve lowering the Fed Funds rate by over 400 basis points during the
last year. This resulted in a steeper yield curve which allowed us to borrow money at lower rates
and reduce deposit rates while keeping mortgage rates relatively stable.
Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income increased by $26.8 million, or
17.2%, to $181.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from $155.2 million for the six
months ended December 31, 2007. This increase is due to the average balance of interest-earning
assets increasing $1.04 billion, or 18.2%, to $6.74 billion for the six months ended December 31,
2008 from $5.70 billion for the six months ended December 31, 2007. This was partially offset by a
4 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.40% for the
six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to 5.44% for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
Interest income on loans increased by $38.1 million, or 34.4%, to $148.8 million for the six months
ended December 31, 2008 from $110.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, reflecting
a $1.38 billion, or 35.6%, increase in the average balance of net loans to $5.24 billion for the
six months ended December 31, 2008 from $3.86 billion for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
The average yield on loans decreased 5 basis points to 5.68% for the six months ended December 31,
2008 from 5.73% for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
Interest income on all other interest-earning assets, excluding loans, decreased by $11.4 million,
or 25.5%, to $33.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from $44.5 million for the
six months ended December 31, 2007. This decrease reflected a $341.4 million decrease in the
average balance of all other interest-earning assets and a 41 basis point decrease in the average
yield on all other interest-earning assets, excluding loans, to 4.43% for the six months ended
December 31, 2008 from 4.84% for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
Interest Expense Total interest expense decreased by $8.0 million, or 7.4%, to $100.3 million for
the six months ended December 31, 2008 from $108.3 million for the six months ended December 31,
2007. This decrease was due to the weighted average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities
decreasing 103 basis points to 3.35% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to 4.38%
for the six months ended December 31, 2007. This was partially offset by the average balance of
total interest-bearing liabilities increasing by $1.04 billion, or 21.1%, to $5.99 billion for the
six months ended December 31, 2008 from $4.95 billion for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $16.9 million, or 21.1% to $62.9 million
for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from $79.8 million for the six months ended December 31,
2007. This decrease was due to a 107 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing
deposits to 3.15% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from 4.22% for the six months ended
December 31, 2007. This was partially offset by the average balance of interest-bearing deposits
increasing $213.5 million, or 5.64% to $4.00 billion for the six months ended December 31, 2008
from $3.79 billion for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
22
Interest expense on borrowed funds increased by $8.8 million, or 31.0%, to $37.4 million for the
six months ended December 31, 2008 from $28.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007.
This increase is attributed to the average balance of borrowed funds increasing by $830.4 million
or 71.6%, to $1.99 billion for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from $1.16 billion for the
six months ended December 31, 2007. This was partially offset by the average cost of borrowed funds
decreasing 117 basis points to 3.75% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from 4.92% for the
six months ended December 31, 2007.
Provision for Loan Losses Our provision for loan losses was $13.0 million for the six month period
ended December 31, 2008 compared to $1.9 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2007.
For the six months ended December 31, 2008, net charge-offs totaled $17,000 compared to net
charge-offs of $8,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The increase in our provision is
due to continued growth in the loan portfolio; an additional $3.0 million specific reserve on a
previously disclosed $11.0 million impaired loan; the increased inherent credit risk in our overall
portfolio, particularly the credit risk associated with commercial real estate lending; an increase
in loan delinquency and non-performing loans; and the adverse economic conditions in our lending
area. See discussion of the allowance for loan losses and non-accrual loans in Comparison of
Financial Condition at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008.
Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income decreased by $158.1 million to a loss of $154.3
million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from income of $3.8 million for the six months
ended December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of a $156.7 million pre-tax
non-cash OTTI charge recognized on our pooled bank trust preferred CDO for the six months ended
December 31, 2008. Due to a lack of liquidity in the market and the prolonged broker price
deterioration for these securities, we do not believe the market value of these securities will
recover within the foreseeable future. Additionally, during the six months ended December 31, 2008
we took an additional $456,000 pre-tax non-cash OTTI charge on the AMF and $791,000 pre-tax charge
on the redemption in kind of the AMF, a mutual fund acquired in the June 2008 merger with Summit
Federal.
Non-interest Expenses. Total non-interest expenses increased by $5.7 million, or 14.5%, to $45.2
million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from $39.5 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2007. Included in the prior year quarter was a $2.3 million gain recognized from the
curtailment and settlement of our postretirement benefit obligation. Excluding this item, the net
increase of $3.4 million is attributed to Federal deposit insurance premiums increasing by $1.1
million as we exhausted our FDIC One-Time Assessment Credit; compensation and fringe benefits
increasing as a result of staff additions in our commercial real estate, retail banking areas and
our mortgage company as well as equity incentive plan expense increasing for grants made
during 2008; the cost associated with opening a new branch; and additional advertising expense to
increase our exposure and promote our deposit and loan growth initiatives.
Income Taxes. Income tax benefit was $53.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008
representing a 40.8% effective tax benefit rate for the period. The benefit is primarily the result
of the OTTI charge taken on our pooled trust preferred securities which is described above. For the
six months ended December 31, 2007 there was an income tax expense of $3.2 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and
mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and
other borrowings and, to a lesser extent, investment maturities. While scheduled amortization of
loans is a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly
influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company has other
sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises, including
additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB and other correspondent banks.
At December 31, 2008 the Company had $93.0 million in overnight borrowings outstanding compared to
$88.0 million of outstanding overnight borrowings at June 30, 2008. The Company utilizes the
overnight line from time to time to fund short-term liquidity needs. The Company had total
borrowings of $2.13 billion at December 31, 2008, an increase from $1.56 billion at June 30, 2008.
This increase was primarily the result of strong loan growth that exceeded the available cash flows
from the investment and deposit portfolios.
In the normal course of business, the Company routinely enters into various commitments, primarily
relating to the origination of loans. At December 31, 2008, outstanding commitments to originate
loans totaled $187.5 million; outstanding unused lines of credit totaled $326.8 million; standby
letters of credit totaled $2.7 million and outstanding commitments to sell loans totaled $59.6
million. The Company expects to have sufficient funds available to meet current commitments in the
normal course of business.
Time deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $2.64 billion at December 31, 2008.
Based upon historical experience management estimates that a significant portion of such deposits
will remain with the Company.
The Board of Directors approved a third share repurchase program at their January 2008 meeting,
which authorizes the repurchase of an additional 10% of the Companys outstanding common stock. The
third share repurchase program commenced upon completion of the second program on May 7, 2008. Under
this program, up to 10% of its publicly-held outstanding shares of common stock, or 4,307,248
shares of Investors Bancorp, Inc. common stock may be purchased in the open market and through
other privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws.
During the three month period ended December 31, 2008, the Company repurchased 82,827 shares of its
common stock. Under the current share repurchase program, 3,514,617 shares remain available for
repurchase. As of December 31, 2008, a total of 10,896,052 shares have been purchased under Board
authorized share repurchase programs, of which 1,928,701 shares were allocated to fund the
restricted stock portion of the Companys 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The remaining shares are held
for general corporate use.
As of December 31, 2008 Investors Savings Bank and Investors Bancorp, Inc. exceeded all regulatory
capital requirements as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions
that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in the
financial statements. These transactions primarily relate to lending commitments.

Additionally, at December 31, 2008, the Companys commitments to fund unused lines of credit
totaled $326.8 million.
Debt obligations include borrowings from the FHLB and other borrowings. The borrowings have defined
terms and, under certain circumstances, $790.0 million of the borrowings are callable at the option
of the lender.
Commitments to originate loans and commitments to fund unused lines of credit are agreements to
lend additional funds to customers as long as there have been no violations of any of the
conditions established in the agreements. Commitments generally have a fixed expiration or other
termination clauses which may or may not require a payment of a fee. Since some of these loan
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, total commitments do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements.
In addition to the contractual obligations previously discussed, we have other liabilities and
capitalized and operating lease obligations. These contractual obligations as of December 31, 2008
have not changed significantly from June 30, 2008.
On December 15, 2008, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which the
Company will acquire American Bancorp of New Jersey. The transaction is expected to close in the
second calendar quarter of 2009, subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory
approvals and approval by American Bancorp of New Jerseys shareholders.

Operations, in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
We consider accounting policies that require management to exercise significant judgment or
discretion or to make significant assumptions that have, or could have, a material impact on the
carrying value of certain assets or on income, to be critical accounting policies. We consider
the following to be our critical accounting policies.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered
necessary to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The
allowance is established through the provision for loan losses that is charged against income. In
determining the allowance for loan losses, we make significant estimates and, therefore, have
identified the allowance as a critical accounting policy. The methodology for determining the
allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management because of the
high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions used, and the potential for
changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded
allowance for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses has been determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, under which we are required to maintain an allowance for probable losses at
the balance sheet date. We are responsible for the timely and periodic determination of the amount
of the allowance required. We believe that our allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover
specifically identifiable losses, as well as estimated losses inherent in our portfolio for which
certain losses are probable but not specifically identifiable.
Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The
analysis of the allowance for loan losses has two components: specific and general allocations.
Specific allocations are made for loans determined to be impaired. A loan is deemed to be impaired
if it is a commercial real estate, multi-family or construction loan with an
outstanding balance greater than $3.0 million and on non-accrual status. Impairment is measured by
determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the
fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. The general
allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans, including those loans not meeting the
Companys definition of an impaired loan, by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and
payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic
conditions, geographic concentrations, and industry and peer comparisons. This analysis
establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general
allocations. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may
be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market
conditions. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan losses we
have established which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.
On a quarterly basis, managements Allowance for Loan Loss Committee reviews the current status of
various loan assets in order to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In this
evaluation process, specific loans are analyzed to determine their potential risk of loss. This
process includes all loans, concentrating on non-accrual and classified loans. Each non-accrual or
classified loan is evaluated for potential loss exposure. Any shortfall results in a
26
recommendation of a specific allowance if the likelihood of loss is evaluated as probable. To
determine the adequacy of collateral on a particular loan, an estimate of the fair market value of
the collateral is based on the most current appraised value available. This appraised value is
then reduced to reflect estimated liquidation expenses.
The results of this quarterly process are summarized along with recommendations and presented to
Executive and Senior Management for their review. Based on these recommendations, loan loss
allowances are approved by Executive and Senior Management. All supporting documentation with
regard to the evaluation process, loan loss experience, allowance levels and the schedules of
classified loans are maintained by the Lending Administration Department. A summary of loan loss
allowances is presented to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.
Our primary lending emphasis has been the origination and purchase of residential mortgage loans
and, to a lesser extent, commercial real estate mortgages. We also originate home equity loans and
home equity lines of credit. These activities resulted in a loan concentration in residential
mortgages. We also have a concentration of loans secured by real property located in New Jersey.
As a substantial amount of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, appraisals of the
underlying value of property securing loans are critical in determining the amount of the allowance
required for specific loans. Assumptions for appraisal valuations are instrumental in determining
the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could
significantly impact the valuation of a property securing a loan and the related allowance
determined. The assumptions supporting such appraisals are carefully reviewed by management to
determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans.
Based on the composition of our loan portfolio, we believe the primary risks are increases in
interest rates, a decline in the general economy, and a decline in real estate market values in New
Jersey. Any one or combination of these events may adversely affect our loan portfolio resulting
in increased delinquencies, loan losses and future levels of loan loss provisions. We consider it
important to maintain the ratio of our allowance for loan losses to total loans at an adequate
level given current economic conditions, interest rates, and the composition of the portfolio.
Our allowance for loan losses reflects probable losses considering, among other things, the actual
growth and change in composition of the loan portfolio, the level of non-performing loans and
charge-off experience. We believe the allowance for loan losses reflects the inherent credit
risk in our portfolio.
Although we believe we have established and maintained the allowance for loan losses at adequate
levels, additions may be necessary if the current operating environment continues or deteriorates.
Management uses the best information available; however, the level of the allowance for loan losses
remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. In addition,
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance,
as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review our allowance for loan
losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their
judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
Deferred Income Taxes. The Company records income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as amended, using the asset
and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities: (i) are recognized for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized
27
in the financial statements or
tax returns; (ii) are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases; and (iii) are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years when those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. Where applicable, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance
for any portions determined not likely to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period of
enactment. The valuation allowance is adjusted, by a charge or credit to income tax expense, as
changes in facts and circumstances warrant.
Asset Impairment Judgments. Certain of our assets are carried on our consolidated balance sheets
at cost, fair value or at the lower of cost or fair value. Valuation allowances or write-downs are
established when necessary to recognize impairment of such assets. We periodically perform
analyses to test for impairment of such assets. In addition to the impairment analyses related to
our loans discussed above, another significant impairment analysis is the determination of whether
there has been an other-than-temporary decline in the value of one or more of our securities.
Our available-for-sale portfolio is carried at estimated fair value, with any unrealized gains or
losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in stockholders
equity. Our held-to-maturity portfolio, consisting primarily of mortgage backed securities and
other debt securities for which we have a positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, is
carried at amortized cost. We conduct a periodic review and evaluation of the securities portfolio
to determine if the value of any security has declined below its cost or amortized cost, and
whether such decline is other-than-temporary.
Management utilizes various inputs to determine the fair value of the portfolio. To the extent
they exist, unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets (level 1) or quoted prices on similar
assets (level 2) are utilized to determine the fair value of each investment in the portfolio. In
the absence of quoted prices and in an illiquid market, valuation techniques, which require inputs
that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (level 3), are used to
determine fair value of the investment. Valuation techniques are based on various assumptions,
including, but not limited to cash flows, discount rates, rate of return, adjustments for
nonperformance and liquidity, and liquidation values. Management is required to use a significant
degree of judgment when the valuation of investments includes inputs. The use of different
assumptions could have a positive or negative effect on our consolidated financial condition or
results of operations.
The market values of our securities are also affected by changes in interest rates. When
significant changes in interest rates occur, we evaluate our intent and ability to hold the
security to maturity or for a sufficient time to recover our recorded investment balance.
If it is determined that the value of any security has declined below its cost or amortized cost,
and such decline is deemed other-than-temporary, we would adjust the cost basis of the security by
writing down the security to fair market value through a charge to current period operations.
During the six months ended December 31, 2008, we recorded a $156.7 million, pre-tax, non-cash,
other-than-temporary impairment charge on our pooled bank trust preferred securities classified as
held to maturity.
28
Stock-Based Compensation. We recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for
awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards in accordance with
SFAS No. 123(R).
We estimate the per share fair value of option grants on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model using assumptions for the expected dividend yield, expected stock price
volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected option term. These assumptions are subjective in
nature, involve uncertainties and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. The
Black-Scholes option pricing model also contains certain inherent limitations when applied to
options that are not traded on public markets.
The per share fair value of options is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. In general, the
per share fair value of options will move in the same direction as changes in the expected stock
price volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected option term, and in the opposite direction
as changes in the expected dividend yield. For example, the per share fair value of options will
generally increase as expected stock price volatility increases, risk-free interest rate increases,
expected option term increases and expected dividend yield decreases. The use of different
assumptions or different option pricing models could result in materially different per share fair
values of options.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Qualitative Analysis. We believe our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk.
Interest rate risk results from timing differences in the maturity or re-pricing of our assets,
liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts (i.e., loan commitments); the effect of loan
prepayments, deposits and withdrawals; the difference in the behavior of lending and funding rates
arising from the uses of different indices; and yield curve risk arising from changing interest
rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities for constant or variable credit risk
investments. Besides directly affecting our net interest income, changes in market interest rates
can also affect the amount of new loan originations, the ability of borrowers to repay variable
rate loans, the volume of loan prepayments and refinancings, the carrying value of securities
classified as available for sale and the mix and flow of deposits.
The general objective of our interest rate risk management is to determine the appropriate level of
risk given our business model and then manage that risk in a manner consistent with our policy to
reduce, to the extent possible, the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market
interest rates. Our Interest Rate Risk Committee, which consists 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. On a quarterly basis, our Board of Directors reviews the Interest Rate
Risk Committee report, the aforementioned activities and strategies, the estimated effect of those
strategies on our net interest margin and the estimated effect that changes in market interest
rates may 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. Historically, our lending activities have emphasized one- to four-family fixed- and
variable-rate first mortgages. Our variable-rate mortgage related assets have helped to reduce our
exposure to interest rate fluctuations and is expected to benefit our long-term profitability, as
29
the rate earned in the mortgage loans will increase as prevailing market rates increase. However,
the current interest rate environment, and the preferences of our customers, has resulted in more
of a demand for fixed-rate products. This may adversely impact our net interest income,
particularly in a rising rate environment. To help manage our interest rate risk, we have increased
our focus on the origination of commercial real estate mortgage loans and adjustable-rate
construction loans.
We retain two independent, nationally recognized consulting firms who specialize in asset and
liability management to complete our quarterly interest rate risk reports. They use a combination
of analyses to monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates. The economic value of equity
analysis is a model that estimates the change in net portfolio value (NPV) over a range of
immediately changed interest rate scenarios. NPV is the discounted present value of expected cash
flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts. In calculating changes in NPV,
assumptions estimating loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates that seem
most likely based on historical experience during prior interest rate changes are used.
The net interest income analysis uses data derived from a dynamic asset and liability analysis,
described below, and applies several additional elements, including actual interest rate indices
and margins, contractual limitations and the U.S. Treasury yield curve as of the balance sheet
date. In addition we apply consistent parallel yield curve shifts (in both directions) to
determine possible changes in net interest income if the theoretical yield curve shifts occurred
gradually. Net interest income analysis also adjusts the dynamic asset and liability repricing
analysis based on changes in prepayment rates resulting from the parallel yield curve shifts.
Our dynamic asset and liability analysis determines the relative balance between the repricing of
assets and liabilities over multiple periods of time (ranging from overnight to five years). This
dynamic asset and liability analysis includes expected cash flows from loans and mortgage-backed
securities, applying prepayment rates based on the differential between the current interest rate
and the market interest rate for each loan and security type. This analysis identifies
mismatches in the timing of asset and liability but does not necessarily provide an accurate
indicator of interest rate risk because the assumptions used in the analysis may not reflect the
actual response to market changes.
Quantitative Analysis. The table below sets forth, as of December 31, 2008 the estimated changes
in our NPV and our annual net interest income that would result from the designated changes in the
interest rates. Such changes to interest rates are calculated as an immediate and permanent change
for the purposes of computing NPV and a gradual change over a one year period for the purposes of
computing net interest income. 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. We
did not estimate changes in NPV or net interest income for an interest rate decrease of greater
than 100 basis points or increase of greater than 200 basis points.

The table set forth above indicates at December 31, 2008 in the event of a 200 basis points
increase in interest rates, we would be expected to experience a 37.3% decrease in NPV and a $10.6
million or 5.9% decrease in annual net interest income. In the event of a 100 basis points
decrease in interest rates, we would be expected to experience a 5.7% increase in NPV and a $4.0
million or 2.2% increase in annual net interest income. This data do not reflect any future
actions we may take in response to changes in interest rates, such as changing the mix of our
assets and liabilities, which could change the results of the NPV and net interest income
calculations.
As mentioned above, we retain two nationally recognized firms to compute our quarterly interest
rate risk reports. Although we are confident of the accuracy of the results, certain shortcomings
are inherent in any methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling
changes in NPV and net interest income require 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
net interest income table presented above assumes 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 do not reflect any actions we may take in response to changes
in interest rates. The table also assumes a particular change in interest rates is reflected
uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or the repricing
characteristics of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV and net interest
income table provide an indication of our sensitivity to interest rate changes at a particular
point in time, such measurement is not intended to and does not provide a precise forecast of the
effects of changes in market interest rates on our NPV and net interest income.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal
Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that
evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of
the end of the period covered by this report, our 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
31
There were no significant changes made in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting
or in other factors that could significantly affect the Companys internal controls over financial
reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Part II Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal actions arising in the normal course
of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these legal actions is not expected
to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The risks set forth below, in addition to the other risks described in this quarterly report,
represent material changes from those risk factors previously disclosed in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 22, 2008, and may
adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition to the risks
set forth below and the other risks described in this quarterly report, there may also be
additional risks and uncertainties that are not currently known to us or that we currently deem to
be immaterial that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or
operating results. As a result, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of
future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in
future periods. Further, to the extent that any of the information contained in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q constitutes forward-looking statements, the risk factors set forth below also
are cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause our actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of
us.
Our Expenses Will Increase as a Result of Increases in FDIC Insurance Premiums
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) imposes an assessment against institutions for
deposit insurance. This assessment is based on the risk category of the institution and ranges
from 5 to 43 basis points of the institutions deposits. Federal law requires that the designated
reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund be established by the FDIC at 1.15% to 1.50% of
estimated insured deposits. If this reserve ratio drops below 1.15% or the FDIC expects it to do
so within six months, the FDIC must, within 90 days, establish and implement a plan to restore the
designated reserve ratio to 1.15% of estimated insured deposits within five years (absent
extraordinary circumstances).
Recent bank failures coupled with deteriorating economic conditions have significantly reduced the
deposit insurance funds reserve ratio. As of June 30, 2008, the designated reserve ratio was
1.01% of estimated insured deposits at March 31, 2008. As a result of this reduced reserve ratio,
on October 7, 2008, the FDIC adopted a restoration plan that would restore the reserve ratios to
its required level. The proposed rule would raise the current deposit insurance assessment rates
uniformly for all institutions by 7 basis points (to a range from 12 to 50 basis points) for the
first quarter of 2009.
32
Under the proposed rule, the FDIC would first establish an institutions initial base assessment
rate. This initial base assessment rate would range, depending on the risk category of the
institution, from 10 to 45 basis points. The FDIC would then adjust the initial base assessment
(higher or lower) to obtain the total base assessment rate. The adjustments to the initial base
assessment rate would be based upon an institutions levels of unsecured debt, secured liabilities,
and brokered deposits. The total base assessment rate would range from 8 to 77.5 basis points of
the institutions deposits. The FDIC is implementing the proposed rule starting in January 2009.
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) temporarily increased the
limit on FDIC insurance coverage for deposits to $250,000 through
December 31, 2009, In addition, the FDIC announced the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee (TLG) Program. The TLG Program
covers two programs: 1.) Transaction Account Guarantee Program and the 2.) Debt Guarantee Program.
The Company has elected to participate in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program, which will
increase the insurance coverage for the following deposit accounts in excess of $250,000: all
non-interested bearing accounts, NOW accounts (as long as the interest rate paid is equal to or
below 50 basis points) and IOLTA accounts. The cost of the program to the Company will be 10 basis
points annualized and the expiration of the program is December 31, 2009.
These actions will significantly increase the Companys non-interest expense in 2009 and in future
years as long as the increased premiums are in place.
If Our Investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York is Classified as
Other-Than-Temporarily Impaired or as Permanently Impaired, Our Earnings and Stockholders Equity
Could Decrease
We own common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB-NY). We hold the FHLB-NY
common stock to qualify for membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System and to be eligible to
borrow funds under the FHLB-NYs advance program. The aggregate cost and fair value of our FHLB-NY
common stock as of December 31, 2008 was $86.6 million based on its par value. There is no market
for our FHLB-NY common stock.
Recent published reports indicate that certain member banks of the Federal Home Loan Bank System
may be subject to accounting rules and asset quality risks that could result in materially lower
regulatory capital levels. In an extreme situation, it is possible that the capitalization of a
Federal Home Loan Bank, including the FHLB-NY, could be substantially diminished or reduced to
zero. Consequently, we believe that there is a risk that our investment in FHLB-NY common stock
could be deemed other-than-temporarily impaired at some time in the future, and if this occurs, it
would cause our earnings and stockholders equity to decrease by the after-tax amount of the
impairment charge.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
