Explanatory Note
----------------
This Amendment to Form 10-Q (this "Amendment") is being filed by ESSA
Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") to amend its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on August 14, 2007 (the "Initial Form 10-Q"). This Amendment is
required due to the restatement of earnings per share on the Consolidated
Statement of Income (Loss) included in the Initial Form 10-Q related to
corrections that became necessary following a review of current year earnings
from the April 3, 2007 until the end of the period. Our net loss for this period
of $9.0 million has been corrected in Note 3 to our unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements contained herein. This correction did not necessitate any
change in our Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
This Amendment includes a restatement which changes Part I - Items 1.
Except as otherwise specifically noted, all information contained herein is as
of June 30, 2007 and for the nine-months then ended does not reflect any events
or changes that have occurred subsequent to that date. We are not required to
and we have not updated any forward-looking statements previously included in
the Initial Form 10-Q.

ESSA BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
The unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
ESSA Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), ESSA Bank & Trust (the "Bank"), and the
Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries, ESSACOR Inc. and Pocono Investment Company.
The Bank is a Pennsylvania chartered savings association located in Stroudsburg,
Pennsylvania. The Bank's primary business consists of the taking of deposits and
granting of loans to customers generally in Monroe and Northampton counties,
Pennsylvania. The Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the
Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Office of Thrift Supervision (the
"OTS").
ESSACOR, Inc. is a Pennsylvania corporation that is currently inactive.
Pocono Investment Company is a Delaware corporation formed as an investment
company subsidiary to hold and manage certain investments of ESSA Bank & Trust,
including certain intellectual property. All intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments,
which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of the interim periods and are of a normal and recurring nature.
Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2007 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending September 30, 2007.
2. Completion of Initial Public Offering
On July 25, 2006, the ESSA Bank & Trust's Board of Directors adopted a Plan
of Conversion (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Bank converted to a
Pennsylvania chartered stock association and formed ESSA Bancorp, Inc., a
Pennsylvania chartered company (the "Company"). On December 7, 2006 the Company
filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (File No. 333-139157) with respect to the shares to be offered and
sold pursuant to the Plan. The Company registered for offer and sale 16,980,900
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a sales price of $10.00
per share.
The stock offering was consummated on April 3, 2007, resulting in gross
proceeds of $158.7 million, through the sale of 15,870,000 shares at a price of
$10.00 per share. The Company also contributed 1,110,900 shares of its common
stock to the ESSA Bank & Trust Foundation and $1.6 million in cash. Expenses
related to the offering were approximately $2.9 million which resulted in net
proceeds of approximately $155.9 million prior to the contribution to the ESSA
Bank & Trust Foundation.
The Company lent approximately $13.6 million to the Bank's Employee Stock
Ownership Plan. The Company retained approximately $64.3 million of the net
proceeds of the offering prior to the contribution to the ESSA Bank & Trust
Foundation, and the remainder of the net proceeds were contributed to the Bank.
3. Earnings per Share
Basic loss per common share has been calculated based on a net loss of $9.0
million from April 3, 2007 to June 30, 2007 (the period during which the common
stock was outstanding), and weighted average common shares of 15,627,802
outstanding for the period. The number of shares outstanding for this purpose
excludes unallocated ESOP shares.
4. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The accounting principles followed by the Bank and its subsidiaries and the
methods of applying these principles conform to U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles and to general practice within the banking industry. In
preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
8
liabilities as of the balance sheet date and related revenues and expenses for
the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
5. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The components of comprehensive income (loss) consist exclusively of
unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities. For the nine
months ended June 30, 2007, this activity is shown under the heading
Comprehensive Income (Loss) as presented in the Consolidated Statement of
Changes in Stockholders' Equity (Unaudited). For the three months ended June 30,
2007, comprehensive (loss) totaled $9.9 million. For the three and nine months
ended June 30, 2006, comprehensive income totaled $678,000 and $2.4 million,
respectively.
6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,
which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and
liabilities. The standard applies whenever other standards require or permit
assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The Standard does not expand
the use of fair value in any new circumstances. FAS No. 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007
and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will
have on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans, an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). FAS No. 158 requires that a company
recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of its defined benefit post
retirement plans (other than multiemployer plans) as an asset or liability in
its statement of financial position and that it recognize changes in the funded
status in the year in which the changes occur through other comprehensive
income. FAS No. 158 also requires the measurement of defined benefit plan assets
and obligations as of the fiscal year end, in addition to footnote disclosures.
FAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will
have on the Company's financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115, which provides all entities with an option to report selected
financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of the FAS No. 159
is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to
mitigate volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply the complex provisions of hedge
accounting. FAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first
fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of
the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007
provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FAS No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"),
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 is an interpretation of FAS
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and it seeks to reduce the diversity in
practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in
accounting for income taxes. In addition, FIN No. 48 requires expanded
disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes and is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company's
results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB
108"), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, providing guidance on
quantifying financial statement misstatement and implementation when first
applying this guidance. Under SAB No. 108, companies should evaluate a
9
misstatement based on its impact on the current year income statement, as well
as the cumulative effect of correcting such misstatements that existed in prior
years existing in the current year's ending balance sheet. SAB 108 is effective
for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company's
results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB reached consensus on the guidance provided by
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 06-4 ("EITF 06-4"), Accounting for Deferred
Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life
Insurance Arrangements. The guidance is applicable to endorsement split-dollar
life insurance arrangements, whereby the employer owns and controls the
insurance policy, that are associated with a postretirement benefit. EITF 06-4
requires that for a split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of
the Issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in
accordance with FAS No. 106 (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan
exists) or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 (if the arrangement is, in
substance, an individual deferred compensation contract) based on the
substantive agreement with the employee. EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact the adoption of the EITF will have on the Company's results of operations
or financial condition.
In September 2006, the FASB reached consensus on the guidance provided by
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 06-5("EITF 06-5"), Accounting for Purchases of
Life Insurance--Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with
FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance.
EITF 06-5 states that a policyholder should consider any additional amounts
included in the contractual terms of the insurance policy other than the cash
surrender value in determining the amount that could be realized under the
insurance contract. EITF 06-5 also states that a policyholder should determine
the amount that could be realized under the life insurance contract assuming the
surrender of an individual-life by individual-life policy (or certificate by
certificate in a group policy). EITF 06-5 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company's results of
operations or financial condition.
In March 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-10
("EITF 06-10"), Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance
Agreements. EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the
postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the
associated asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment
agreement. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the EITF
will have on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-11
("EITF 06-11"), Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based
Payment Awards. EITF 06-11 applies to share-based payment arrangements with
dividend protection features that entitle employees to receive (a) dividends on
equity-classified nonvested shares, (b) dividend equivalents on
equity-classified nonvested share units, or (c) payments equal to the dividends
paid on the underlying shares while an equity-classified share option is
outstanding, when those dividends or dividend equivalents are charged to
retained earnings under FAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, and result in an
income tax deduction for the employer. A consensus was reached that a realized
income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to
retained earnings and are paid to employees for equity-classified nonvested
equity shares, nonvested equity share units, and outstanding equity share
options should be recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital. EITF
06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact the adoption of the EITF will have on the Company's financial
condition.

The Bank expects to contribute $1.3 million to its pension plan in 2007.
11. Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The Company has an ESOP for the benefit of employees who meet the eligibility
requirements. The ESOP trust purchased 1,358,472 shares of common stock in the
initial public offering with proceeds from a loan with the Company. The Bank
will make cash contributions to the ESOP on an annual basis sufficient to enable
the ESOP to make the required loan payments to the Company. The loan bears an
interest rate of 8.25% with principal and interest payable in annual
installments over thirty years. The loan is secured by the shares of the stock
purchased.
As the debt is repaid, shares are released from the collateral and allocated to
qualified employees based on the proportion of debt service paid during the
year. Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unallocated
common stock held by the ESOP in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As shares are
released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the
current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for
earnings-per-share computations.

The following table presents the components of the ESOP shares:
June 30, 2007

Shares released for allocation................................................. 15,094
Unreleased shares.............................................................. 1,358,472
