Southern Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. (the “Registrant”) recently engaged a new EDGAR processing firm to handle its electronic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Registrant believed it submitted its financial information to the new EDGAR processing firm in a timely manner but due to unforeseen circumstances, the process of compiling and disseminating the information required to be included in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2011 (the “Form 10-Q”) could not be completed within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense for the Registrant.

The Registrant expects to file the Form 10-Q within the five day extension period offered by Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
