                                Explanatory Note

During the fiscal year ended  September  30, 2008,  Magyar  Bancorp,  Inc.  (the
"Company") established a system of internal control over financial reporting and
assessed the  effectiveness  of such internal  control as of September 30, 2008.
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-KSB/A amends the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB,  originally  filed by the Company at the SEC on  December  29, 2008 (the
"Original  Filing").  This Amendment No. 1 (i) supplements  Item 8A to report on
management's  conclusions  regarding the  effectiveness of such internal control
and (ii)  supplements the officer  certifications  included in Exhibits 31.1 and
31.2 to include the required  certification  related to the  Company's  internal
control over financial reporting.

This  Amendment  No. 1  consists  of the  cover  page to the Form  10-KSB,  this
Explanatory Note, Item 8A, the Signature Page and Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2.

Except as  described  above,  no other  changes  have been made to the  Original
Filing.  The Original  Filing  continues to speak as of the date of the Original
Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any
events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

ITEM 8A.    Controls and Procedures
--------    -----------------------

     Under  the  supervision  and  with  the  participation  of our  management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,  we evaluated
the  effectiveness  of the design and operation of our  disclosure  controls and
procedures  (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)  under the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934) 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,  our  disclosure
controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that Magyar  Bancorp,  Inc.  files or submits under the
Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  is  recorded,  processed,  summarized  and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

     There has been no change in Magyar Bancorp,  Inc.'s  internal  control over
financial reporting during Magyar Bancorp,  Inc.'s fourth quarter of fiscal year
2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting.

     The management of Magyar Bancorp,  Inc. is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial  reporting.  Magyar Bancorp
Inc.'s internal control system was designed to provide  reasonable  assurance to
the Magyar  Bancorp,  Inc.'s  management  and board of directors  regarding  the
preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

     All internal  control systems,  no matter how well designed,  have inherent
limitations.  Therefore,  even those  systems  determined  to be  effective  can
provide  only   reasonable   assurance  with  respect  to  financial   statement
preparation and presentation.

     Magyar  Bancorp,  Inc.'s  management  assessed  the  effectiveness  of  the
Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008. In
making this  assessment,  it used the  criteria  set forth by the  Committee  of
Sponsoring   Organizations  of  the  Treadway   Commission  (COSO)  in  Internal
Control-Integrated  Framework.  Based on our assessment,  we believe that, as of
September 30, 2008, the Company's internal control over financial  reporting was
effective based on those criteria.

     The Annual Report on Form 10-KSB does not include an attestation  report of
the Company's  registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial  reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by the
Company's  registered  public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  that permit the  Company to provide  only
management's report in this annual report.
