Be patient. An OTS regulated MHC. If it plays its card right a second stage could lead to a price of $22-28. Remutualization could also lead to a purchase of about $28.

Trading at about book value. Management has not declared a dividend and I believe has not bought back stock. An acquisition is not on the horizon as the bank converted about one and a half years ago.

Did a standard conversion in January 2007. Announced late yesterday that its net income for the Third Quarter went up by $326,000 to $521,000. Will have a Special Meeting on 1/29/08 for shareholders to vote on its proposed Equity Incentive Plan. Declared a dividend of 3 cents. Stock is trading under book at about $10.75, with stock repurchases possible/likely in January 2008

Great opportunity for a small MHC to be in an area with many mutuals and MHCs. Possible remutualization in 2 and a half years.

Previous explanation of purchase at $14.95: Great opportunity for a small MHC to be in an area with many mutuals and MHCs. Possible remutualization in 2 and a half years.

New Explanation of "hold" recommendation: After increase of $7 to $22.50 or so with the announcement of the second step, I lowered my rating of NEBS today as we do not know what the exchange ratio will be for the second step, which likely will not occur for three plus months.

This follows up my post from a few months ago. With the announced acquisition, to be completed later this year, take your substantial profits and move on to something else. (With the special dividend, I believe that I have more than doubled my money in about three years.)

I bought SERC about two years ago and recommended it as a "BUY" when BI.com first started ratings in November 2002. With the management games last year in awarding themselves benefits without considering the views of the public shareholders and the current trend of potential higher interest rates and momentum moving away from thrifts, I sold all my SERC holdings this morning at $30.50. While there are plenty of mutuals in Massachusetts that SERC could hook up with for a remutualization, I suspect that management likes things the way things currently are, where they can "have their cake and eat it too".

Look at what happened to Ridgewood Savings Bank, Pulaski Savings Bank, West Essex Savings Bank and Liberty Savings Bank. That's right they were /are New Jersey MHCs that were remutualized by a mutual institution at huge premiums to the public/minority shareholders. Kearny acquired West Essex and Pulaski, Liberty is being acquired by Northfield Savings and Ridgewood was hotly contested by Provident and Boiling Springs Savings Banks with Boiling Springs winning out. If history is any indication, the risk/reward ratio is looking good for SYNF. Monitor those car loans though!
