        The amount of funds expended by Mr. Lashley to acquire the 52 shares of Common Stock he holds in his name is $910. Such funds were provided from Mr. Lashley’s personal funds.

        Any purchases of Common Stock made by members of the PL Capital Group using funds borrowed from Banc of America Securities Corp., if any, were made in margin transactions on those firms’ usual terms and conditions. All or part of the shares of Common Stock owned by members of the PL Capital Group may from time to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such entities to members of the PL Capital Group. Such loans, if any, generally bear interest at a rate based upon the federal funds rate plus a margin. Such indebtedness, if any, may be refinanced with other banks or broker-dealers. As of the date of this filing no member of the PL Capital Group has margin or other loans outstanding secured by Common Stock other than Financial Edge Strategic and Goodbody/PL LP.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

        This is the PL Capital Group’s initial Schedule 13D filing. The PL Capital Group acquired shares of Common Stock because it believes that the Common Stock is undervalued. On August 13, 2008, the Common Stock was trading at $10.32, or 68% of the Company’s June 30, 2008 tangible book value of $15.27.

        The PL Capital Group plans to ask management of BCSB Bancorp what their operating and strategic plans are for (1) maximizing the performance of BCSB Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary Baltimore County Savings Bank and (2) maximizing the value of the Common Stock.

        Members of the PL Capital Group may make further purchases of shares of Common Stock. Members of the PL Capital Group may dispose of any or all the shares of Common Stock held by them.

        To the extent the actions described herein may be deemed to constitute a “control purpose” with respect to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, the PL Capital Group has such a purpose. Except as noted in this Schedule 13D, no member of the PL Capital Group has any plans or proposals, which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (b) through (j), inclusive of Item (4) of Schedule 13D. Such individuals may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their positions and formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Company

        The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon 3,120,945 outstanding shares of Common Stock. This is the number of shares of Common Stock that BCSB Bancorp reported as outstanding as of July 30, 2008 in its most recent Form 10-Q , which was filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on July 31, 2008.
