Greene County Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of and for the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of June 30, 2004 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Greene County Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Bank of Greene County (the “Bank”) and its subsidiary, Greene County Commercial Bank at June 30, 2004. The consolidated financial statements at and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are unaudited.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. To the extent that information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements are contained in or are consistent with the audited financial statements incorporated by reference to Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2004, such information and footnotes have not been duplicated herein. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented have been included. Amounts in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or retained earnings as previously reported. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The results of operations and other data for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2005.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY

Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s critical accounting policy relates to the allowance for loan losses (the “Allowance”). It is based on management’s opinion of an amount that is intended to absorb losses in the existing portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio, the composition of the portfolio, specific impaired loans and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, management’s estimate of probable credit losses and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for the allowance for loan losses. However, this evaluation involves a high degree of complexity and requires management to make subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. This critical accounting policy and its application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and (“other real estate owned”) OREO, future additions to the allowance, or OREO write-downs, may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, asset quality or other factors. In addition, various regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review The Bank of Greene County’s allowance and the carrying value of OREO and other assets. Such authorities may require The Bank of Greene County to recognize additions to the allowance and/or write down the carrying value of OREO or other assets based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

(2) Nature of Operations

The Bank of Greene County has six full-service offices and an operations center located in its market area consisting of Greene County and southern Albany County, New York. The Bank of Greene County is primarily engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public in The Bank of Greene County’s market area, and investing such deposits, together with other sources of funds in loans and investment securities. During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, The Bank of Greene County opened a limited purpose commercial bank subsidiary the purpose of which is to serve local municipalities. In January 2005, the Company opened a loan origination office in the city of Hudson in Columbia County, New York.

(3) Use of Estimates

(3) Use of Estimate

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and valuation of other real estate owned (“OREO”).

(4) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) on common stock are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Shares of restricted stock are not considered outstanding for the calculation of basic earnings per share until they become fully vested. Diluted earnings per share are computed in a manner similar to that of basic earnings per share except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of incremental common shares that would have been outstanding under the treasury stock method if all potentially dilutive instruments (such as stock options and unvested restricted stock) became vested and (in the case of stock options) exercised during the period. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are not included in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for either the basic or diluted earnings per share calculations.

		Net Income	Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding		Earnings Per Share

March 31, 2005:	$	2,290,690
Basic EPS			2,058,538	$	1.11

(5) Dividend

(5) Dividends

The Board of Directors declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.44 per share of the Company’s common stock on January 19, 2005. The dividend reflects an annual cash dividend rate of $0.88 cents per share, which represented an increase from the previous annual cash dividend rate of $0.84 per share. The dividend was payable to stockholders of record as of February 15, 2005, and was paid on March 1, 2005. The Company’s mutual holding company has waived receipt of the cash dividend.

(6) Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements of Greene County Bancorp, Inc. and notes thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of Greene County Bancorp, Inc. are monetary. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services.

(7) Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" SFAS 123(R) amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS No.123(R) requires that the cost of share-based payment transactions (including those with employees and non-employees) be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123(R) applies to all share-based payment transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services by issuing (or offering to issue) its shares, share options, or other equity instruments (except for those held by an ESOP) or by incurring liabilities (1) in amounts based (even in part) on the price of the entity's shares or other equity instruments, or (2) that require (or may require) settlement by the issuance of an entity's shares or other equity instruments. This statement is effective (1) for public companies qualifying as SEC small business issuers, as of the first interim period or fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005, or (2) for all other public companies, as of the first interim period or fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, or (3) for all nonpublic entities, as of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005. Management does not believe the effect of SFAS 123 (R) on the Company's financial statements to be material.

In March 2005, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, "Share-Based Payment," (SAB 107). SAB 107 express views of the SEC staff regarding the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (Statement 123R). Among other things, SAB 107 provides interpretive guidance related to the interaction between Statement 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations, as well as provides the staff's views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies.

(8) Stock-Based Compensation

At March 31, 2005, Greene County Bancorp, Inc. had two stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 9 of the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2004. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires the measurement of the fair value of stock options or warrants granted to employees to be included in the statement of operations or, alternatively, disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation of employees under the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations and has elected the disclosure-only alternative under SFAS No. 123. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

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

Overview of the Company’s Activities and Risks

Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s results of operations depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s loan and securities portfolios and its cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s provision for loan losses, income and expense pertaining to other real estate owned, gains and losses from sales of securities, noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income consists primarily of fees and service charges. Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s noninterest expense consists principally of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy, equipment and data processing, and other operating expenses. Results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, changes in interest rates, as well as government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Additionally, future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may materially affect Greene County Bancorp, Inc.

To operate successfully, the Company must manage various types of risk, including but not limited to, market or interest rate risk, credit risk, transaction risk, liquidity risk, security risk, strategic risk, reputation risk and compliance risk. While all of these risks are important, the risks of greatest significance to the Company relate to market or interest rate risk and credit risk.

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and/or interest rate. Since net interest income (the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings) is the Company’s primary source of revenue, interest rate risk is the most significant non-credit related market risk to which the Company is exposed. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates as well as fluctuations in the level and duration of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

Interest rate risk is the exposure of the Company’s net interest income to adverse movements in interest rates. In addition to directly impacting net interest income, changes in interest rates can also affect the amount of new loan originations, the ability of borrowers and debt issuers to repay loans and debt securities, the volume of loan repayments and refinancings, and the flow and mix of deposits.

Credit risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings and stockholder’s equity that results from customers, to whom loans have been made and to the issuers of debt securities in which the Company has invested, failing to repay their obligations. The magnitude of risk depends on the capacity and willingness of borrowers and debt issuers to repay and the sufficiency of the value of collateral obtained to secure the loans made or investments purchased.

Comparison of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004

ASSETS

Total assets of the Company increased to $293.3 million at March 31, 2005, up from $284.6 million at June 30, 2004. The growth in assets was the result of an increase in loans which amounted to $158.7 million, or 55.1% of total assets at March 31, 2005, as compared to $150.5 million, or 52.9% of total assets at June 30, 2004, an increase of $8.2 million or 5.4%.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased to $18.9 million at March 31, 2005 as compared to $21.4 million at June 30, 2004, a decrease of $2.5 million or 11.7%. Cash, such as vault cash and balances with correspondent banks, increased to $13.7 million at March 31, 2005 as compared to $12.9 million at June 30, 2004. The change was a function of normal daily activities. Federal funds sold decreased to $5.2 million at March 31, 2005 as compared to $8.5 million at June 30, 2004.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Investment securities increased to $105.7 million at March 31, 2005 as compared to $104.8 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of $849,000, or 0.8%. The increase was the result of purchases of $23.3 million in investment securities, including $15.2 million in mortgage-backed securities. This increase was partially offset by $10.7 million in matured or called securities for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005. Principal payments on investment securities amounted to $10.5 million during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005, including $10.1 million in principal payments on mortgage-backed securities. The unrealized loss position increased to $0.5 million at March 31, 2005 from $0.3 million at June 30, 2004. The decrease in the market value of the securities portfolio is primarily the result of recent increases in market interest rates. The majority of the maturities during the nine-month period were U.S. government agencies and corporate securities shifting the portfolio composition away from these sectors and more significantly toward mortgage-backed securities and state and political subdivision securities. The Company continued to invest in locally generated municipal securities contributing to the increase of $4.5 million in state and political subdivision securities during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005. The opening of Greene County Commercial Bank has helped promote the Company as a potential investor for various local state and political subdivision securities.

LOANS

Net loans receivable increased to $157.3 million at March 31, 2005 from $148.9 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of $8.4 million, or 5.6%. The continued low interest rate environment and strong customer satisfaction from personal service continued to enhance loan growth. Mergers by local banking competitors also appear to have helped with loan growth and demand. Loan modifications and refinancing have slowed significantly during the nine months ended March 31, 2005. As a result of these changes, the residential mortgage portfolio increased by $6.9 million and the home equity portfolio increased by $1.2 million during the nine-month period. It appears consumers continue to use the equity in their homes and credit cards to fund financing needs for some activities where in the past an installment loan may have been the choice. The low financing options from auto makers continued to cut into the Bank’s automobile loan generation. The Company has had some success in generating growth in commercial mortgages which increased $1.0 million during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005 for the same reasons as indicated for the residential mortgages, including a low interest rate environment, strong customer satisfaction and competitor's merger activities.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio, the composition of the loan portfolio, specific impaired loans and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an allowance for loan losses. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review The Bank of Greene County’s allowance for loan losses and valuation of OREO. Such agencies may require The Bank of Greene County to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses is increased by a provision for loan losses (which results in a charge to expense) and is reduced by net charge-offs. The level of the provision for the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 2005, was driven by the continued strong asset quality and the level of net charge-offs associated with the overdraft protection program. Various regulatory agencies issued guidance recommending banks include the net charged off account balances associated with such program in the evaluation of the allowance for loan loss. The Company has implemented this guidance as net charge-offs were included with other operating expenses as other losses associated with customer accounts. The charged off amount does not include associated fees which would have been collected. Any future increase in the allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Nonaccrual Loans and Nonperforming Assets

Loans are reviewed on a regular basis. Management determines that a loan is impaired or nonperforming when it is probable at least a portion of the loan will not be collected in accordance with its contractual terms due to an irreversible deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or the value of the underlying collateral. When a loan is determined to be impaired, the measurement of the loan is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. Management places loans on nonaccrual status once the loans have become over 90 days delinquent. Nonaccrual is defined as a loan in which collectibility is questionable and therefore interest on the loan will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis. A loan does not have to be 90 days delinquent in order to be classified as nonperforming. Other real estate owned is considered a nonperforming asset. The Bank of Greene County had no accruing loans delinquent more than 90 days at March 31, 2005 or June 30, 2004.

Total nonperforming loans to total loans		0.11	%		0.23	%

At March 31, 2005, gross interest income of $10,720 would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans under their original terms if the loans had been current throughout the period. No interest income was recorded on nonaccrual loans or on accruing loans more than 90 days delinquent at March 31, 2005.

DEPOSITS

Total deposits increased to $253.2 million at March 31, 2005 from $243.7 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of $9.5 million, or 3.9%. The composition of the deposit portfolio shifted toward noninterest bearing deposits and money market accounts which continued to contribute to the improvement in net interest spread and margin. Noninterest bearing accounts increased $2.5 million and money market accounts increased $9.5 million offsetting decreases in certificates of deposit and savings accounts, which declined $2.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, between March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004. Marketing efforts to attract noninterest bearing deposits including free gift offers and emphasis on attracting commercial checking accounts continued to be successful. Greene County Commercial Bank contributed approximately $8.9 million to overall deposit growth consisting of $369,000 in checking accounts and $8.5 million in money market accounts between June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2005.

BORROWINGS

At March 31, 2005, The Bank of Greene County had the following borrowings:

Amount	Rate	Maturity Date
$5,000,000	3.64% -Fixed two years, convertible thereafter	10/24/2013
2,500,000	6.80% -Fixed	10/04/2005
$7,500,000

The $5.0 million borrowing is convertible given certain criteria including three-month LIBOR of at least 7.5%. The fixed rate term expires on October 24, 2005.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The primary changes in stockholders’ equity included changes in retained earnings and accumulated comprehensive income. Retained earnings was increased by net income of $2.3 million and partially offset by dividends paid of $783,000. Accumulated comprehensive income was affected by a $114,000 increase in the available-for-sale portfolio’s net unrealized loss position to $298,000, net of tax. Treasury stock decreased by $39,000 due to the exercise of 3,700 options under the 2000 Stock Option Plan, and $73,000 due to the vesting of 6,800 MRP shares, reducing the number of shares held in treasury to 88,132 shares.

GENERAL

Return on average assets and return on average equity are common methods of measuring operating results. Return on average assets amounted to 1.06% for the nine months and 0.94% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 1.09% for the nine months and 1.08% for quarter ended March 31, 2004. Return on average equity decreased to 9.82% for the nine months and 8.61% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 9.97% for the nine months and 9.87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The change in return on average assets and return on average equity was primarily the result of a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expenses, primarily in salaries and employee benefits. Net income amounted to $2.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $2.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $0.1 million or 4.5%. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 totaled $682,000 compared to $734,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $52,000 or 7.1%. Average assets amounted to $288.4 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $266.3 million for the same period ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $22.1 million or 8.3%. Average assets amounted to $290.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $271.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $18.7 million or 6.9%. Average equity amounted to $31.1 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $29.1 million for the same period ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $2.0 million or 6.9%. Average equity amounted to $31.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $29.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $2.0 million or 6.7%.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income amounted to $10.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $10.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $0.5 million or 5.0%. Interest income amounted to $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $3.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $0.1 million or 2.9%. The growth in average interest earning assets had the greatest impact on net interest income as illustrated in the rate/volume tables above. Average interest earning assets amounted to $270.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $251.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $18.9 million or 7.5%. The yield on such assets decreased by 12 basis points to 5.20% for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 5.32% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. Average interest earning assets amounted to $271.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $254.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $16.8 million or 6.6%. However, the average yield on such assets decreased by 20 basis points to 5.17% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 5.37% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The interest earned on loans most significantly impacted overall interest earned when comparing the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. Average loans increased $15.9 million to $153.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $137.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. The average yield on such loans decreased 37 basis points to 6.48% for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to 6.85% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. Average loans increased $13.0 million to $155.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $142.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The average yield on such loans decreased 25 basis points to 6.42% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to 6.67% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Changes in the average balance and yield on investments also had a significant impact on overall interest income when comparing both the nine months and quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. The average investment balance increased by $1.4 million and the yield on such investments decreased 8 basis points to an average investment balance of $103.4 million at an average yield of 3.67% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005 as compared to an average investment balance of $102.0 million at an average yield of 3.75% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the average balance of investments increased $1.3 million to $104.3 million and the yield on such investments fell 39 basis points to 3.56% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. These declines were primarily the result of additional premium write-downs taken on various DUS bonds due to prepayments and the replacement of matured securities with lower yielding investments.

It should be noted that during the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the FHLB of New York did not pay a dividend on its stock due to a loss it incurred on some investments. The dividend was restored during the quarter ended December 31, 2003 although at a significantly lower rate than the historical rate paid by the FHLB. Membership in FHLB of New York is an important source of liquidity for The Bank of Greene County and the investment in stock is based on the asset size of the Bank and it is not marketable.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense amounted to $2.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $2.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $0.1 million. Interest expense amounted to $796,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $819,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $23,000. The average balance of interest bearing liabilities amounted to $253.2 million and the average rate decreased to 1.26% for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to an average balance of $236.5 million with an average rate of 1.43% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $16.7 million and a decrease in average rate of 17 basis points. The average balance of interest bearing liabilities amounted to $254.1 million and the average rate decreased to 1.25% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to an average balance of $240.5 million with an average rate of 1.36% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $13.6 million and a decrease in average rate of 11 basis points. The average rate paid on certificates of deposits had the most significant impact on the overall rate of interest bearing liabilities. The average rate on certificates of deposits decreased 33 basis points to 2.12% for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 2.45% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. The average rate on certificates of deposits decreased 10 basis points to 2.15% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 2.25% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The average balances of such certificates of deposit decreased by $4.2 million and $3.6 million for the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 2005 due primarily to the continued low interest rate environment. The shift in the deposit portfolio to more noninterest bearing deposits and lower rate money market accounts also contributed to lower interest expense. Noninterest bearing deposits represented $38.2 million or 15.1% of deposits at March 31, 2005 as compared to $31.6 million or 13.6% of deposits at March 31, 2004. Money market accounts represented $43.4 million or 17.1% of deposits at March 31, 2005 as compared to $28.8 million or 12.5% of deposits at March 31, 2004.

Interest expense on borrowings amounted to $295,000 and $87,000 on average balances of $8.1 million and $7.5 million. The average rates on such borrowings were 4.87% and 4.64% for the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 2005, respectively. This compares to interest expense of $367,000 and $137,000 on average balances of $10.6 million and $12.1 million and average rates of 4.60% and 4.51% for the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 2004, respectively. The declines in average balances and average rates paid on such borrowings caused the lower borrowing expense. The pay off of $2.5 million in borrowings at the beginning of September 2004 which carried a rate of 6.82% helped to reduce the overall average rate paid on such borrowings.

Due to the large portion of fixed rate residential mortgages in the Company’s asset portfolio, interest rate risk is a concern and the Company will continue to monitor the situation and attempt to adjust the asset and liability mix as much as possible to take advantage of the benefits and reduce the risks or potential negative effects of a rising rate environment. Management attempts to mitigate the interest rate risk through balance sheet composition. Several strategies are used to help manage interest rate risk such as maintaining a high level of liquid assets such as short-term federal funds sold and various investment securities, and maintaining a high concentration of less interest-rate sensitive and lower-costing core deposits.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased to $8.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $7.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $0.6 million or 8.0%. Net interest income increased to $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $0.1 million or 3.8%. This growth in net interest income was the result of improved net interest spread and net interest margin when comparing the nine months and quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. Net interest spread increased five basis points to 3.94% for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 from 3.89% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, and nine basis points to 3.92% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 4.01% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Net interest margin increased four basis points to 4.01% for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 from 3.97% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, and declined 10 basis points to 3.99% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 4.09% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Growth in interest earning assets, particularly growth in loans offset declines in rates paid on such loans and the lower rates paid on certificates of deposits also significantly contributed to the improvement in net interest margin and spread when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. The decline of 39 basis points in yield on investments to 3.56% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 3.95% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 had the most significant impact on spread and margin when comparing the two quarters. As discussed above, additional premium write-downs taken on various DUS bonds due to prepayments and the replacement of matured securities with lower yielding investments were the reasons for the decline in yield on investments.

Due to the large level of long term fixed rate loans, The Bank of Greene County may experience compression of net interest margin and spread in a rising rate environment. A large increase in long term rates could cause lending demand to decrease and expected interest rates offered on deposits to increase which will put pressure on net interest margin and spread which could potentially have a negative impact on overall earnings. Management attempts to mitigate these risks via balance sheet composition, investment purchases and by maintaining high levels of liquidity.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $70,500 and $75,000, respectively. The provision for loan loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 amounted to $27,000 compared to $30,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The levels of provision for loan loss were affected by loan growth and strong asset quality. During the nine months ended March 31, 2005, The Bank of Greene County began including net charge-offs associated with the Overdraft Protection Program in the analysis of the allowance for loan loss, which contributed about $31,000 to the level of the provision. The charge-offs associated with the overdraft protection program were previously included in other noninterest expense. Nonperforming assets to total assets amounted to 0.06% and nonperforming loans to total loans amounted to 0.11% at March 31, 2005 as compared to nonperforming assets to total assets which amounted to 0.15% and nonperforming loans to total loans which amounted to 0.23% at June 30, 2004. The collateral associated with the residential mortgages and home equities classified as nonaccrual was deemed sufficient and the amount of installment and other loans classified as nonaccrual were insignificant at approximately $33,000 in principal balance at March 31, 2005.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income remained constant at $2.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004. Noninterest income decreased to $612,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $709,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $97,000 or 13.7%. The Company has seen a decline in the use of the Overdraft Protection Program during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 contributing to lower service fees when comparing the quarter and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004 the Company had recognized a gain on the sale of securities of approximately $47,000. There were no sales of securities during the quarter or nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in fees from debit card activity, and income from the Company’s investment services business. Profit on other real estate owned amounted to $19,500 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $1,500 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense amounted to $6.8 million, and $6.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, an increase of $0.6 million, or 9.7%. Noninterest expense amounted to $2.3 million, and $2.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, an increase of $0.1 million or 4.5%.

The most significant items contributing to the overall increases in noninterest expense were higher salary and employee benefits. Salary and employee benefits amounted to $3.8 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Salary and employee benefits amounted to $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits costs increased $522,000 and $185,000 when comparing the nine months and quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Additional staffing, including marketing and information technology staff contributed to the higher expense. The increased reliance on technology to enhance products and services offered to customers, increased regulatory burden and information security as well as the upcoming core system conversion were the primary reasons for the new information technology staff.

Occupancy expense amounted to $353,000 and $325,000, for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, an increase of $28,000 or 8.6%. The increase was the result of higher real estate taxes as well as higher utility and insurance expenses. Deprecation on buildings also increased slightly due to renovations and modifications made at the Main Branch Office.

Equipment and furniture expense amounted to $456,000 and $419,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, an increase of $37,000 or 8.8%. Equipment and furniture expense amounted to $132,000 and $138,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, a decrease of $7,000 or 5.1%. The increased expenses were primarily due to higher depreciation some of which is the result of modifications and renovations to the Operations Center and Main office. Expense associated with upgrading the ATM machines to be Triple DES compatible was also incurred over the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005.

Service and data processing amounted to $803,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $757,000 for the nine months and quarter ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $46,000. Service and data processing amounted to $248,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $267,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, a decreased $19,000. Expense associated with service and data processing included fees paid to Fiserv for outsourced data processing and was driven by the number of accounts processed which continue to grow due to new customers including new municipal activities of Greene County Commercial Bank. Also, included in this category were expenses associated with the additional internet banking services such as online bill pay functionality. Fees paid to Visa© for processing debit cards were also included in this category and continue to increase as usage grows.

Office supplies expense amounted to $94,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $75,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, and increase of $19,000 or 25.3%. The increase was primarily the result of supply needs for Greene County Commercial Bank and normal volume.

Other noninterest expense amounted to $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and $1.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $86,000. During the nine months ended March 31, 2004, the Company incurred various expenses such as legal fees of $43,000 incurred in the start-up of Greene County Commercial Bank; such fees were not incurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2005. Greene County Commercial Bank activities were included in the consolidated group for the Company at and for the periods ended March 31, 2005. Charge-offs associated with the Carefree Overdraft Privilege amounted to $54,000 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004 and such charge-offs have been reclassed into provision for loan losses for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes directly reflects the expected tax associated with the revenue generated for the given year and certain regulatory requirements. The effective tax rate decreased to 29.3% for the nine months and 30.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to 31.7% for the nine months and 33.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. A major reason for the changes in effective rates was the increase in the percentage of income that municipal securities and other tax free investments contributed to total income during the quarter and nine-month periods as well as tax benefits received for various stock based compensation plans.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk since the majority of Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s primary sources of funds are deposits and proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed securities and debt securities, with lines of credit available through the Federal Home Loan Bank as needed. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit outflows, mortgage prepayments, and lending activities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

The low market interest rate environment had helped to improve the net interest spread and margin in recent quarters; however, an increasing or flat market interest rate environment is expected to have the reverse effect, especially in the case of a rapidly increasing interest rate environment.

Mortgage loan commitments totaled $5.8 million at March 31, 2005. The unused portion of overdraft lines of credit amounted to $0.6 million, the unused portion of home equity lines of credit amounted to $4.3 million, and the unused portion of commercial lines of credit amounted to $3.0 million at March 31, 2005. Greene County Bancorp, Inc. anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments based on the level of cash and cash equivalents as well as the available for sale investment portfolio and borrowing capacity from Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.

The Bank of Greene County is anticipating relocating the Cairo branch during fiscal 2005 and the Coxsackie branch during fiscal 2006 in order to better service our customers. Due to the tremendous retail and commercial deposit growth experienced by the Company in the last several years, which is expected to continue, these branch facilities have been outgrown. It is expected that the Company will have sufficient cash or other means of liquidity to fund these projects.

The Bank of Greene County met all regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004. Consolidated shareholders’ equity represented 10.73% of total assets at March 31, 2005 and 10.48% of total assets of June 30, 2004.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and in timely altering them to material information relating to the Company (or its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be filed in its periodic SEC filings.

There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting in connection with the quarterly evaluation that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
