INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT
------------------------------------
Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related
Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
(a) On May 16, 2006, Kearny Financial Corp. (the "Company") filed an amendment
to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005 in order to
revise its presentation of net income per common share. There have been no
changes to previously reported total net income for any period. Only share and
per share amounts are being restated.
The effective date of the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO")
was February 23, 2005, and a total of 72,737,500 shares were issued. The 10,000
shares issued to the mutual holding company, Kearny MHC (the "MHC"), in
connection with the mutual holding company reorganization completed in 2001 were
"replaced" with 50,916,250 shares, representing 70% of the total shares issued
in the IPO. The remaining 30% of the shares issued, totaling 21,821,250 shares,
were sold in the IPO to the public.
In the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005 previously
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the presentation of
basic and diluted net income per share assumed the effective date of the
transaction was July 1, 2004. Additionally, basic and diluted net income per
share for fiscal 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were not retroactively adjusted to
reflect that 70% of the shares issued in the IPO were a replacement for the
10,000 shares held by the MHC before the IPO.
At the request of the staff of the SEC, the Company is restating its share and
per share computations for the five years ended June 30, 2005. The share and per
share data for the year ended June 30, 2005 has been restated based on a
weighted average number of shares outstanding beginning on February 23, 2005,
the date the Company's initial public offering was completed. Additionally, the
share and
-1-
per share data for the four fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 has been restated
to reflect the replacement of the MHC's shares in connection with the IPO.
The Audit Committee for the Company discussed with the Company's
independent accountant the matters disclosed in this filing.
