NORTHEAST COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Northeast Community Bancorp,
Inc. (the “Company”) is a federally-chartered corporation organized as a mid-tier holding company for Northeast Community
Bank (the “Bank”), in conjunction with the Bank’s reorganization from a mutual savings bank to the mutual holding
company structure on July 5, 2006. The Bank is a New York State-chartered savings bank and completed its conversion from a federally-chartered
savings bank effective as of the close of business on June 29, 2012. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, New England Commercial Properties,
LLC (“NECP”) and NECB Financial Services Group, LLC. NECB Financial Services Group was formed by the Bank in the second
quarter of 2012 as a complement to the Bank’s existing investment advisory and financial planning services division, Hayden
Wealth Management. As of the filing of this Form 10-Q, NECB Financial Services Group has not conducted any business. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information as well as instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information or footnotes necessary
for the presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period. The December 31, 2013 consolidated statement
of financial condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required
by U.S. GAAP. That data, along with the interim financial information presented in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial
condition, income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2013.
The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain recorded
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimate pertains
to the allowance for loan losses. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated the events that occurred
after June 30, 2014 and through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.
Loans
Loans are stated at unpaid
principal balances plus net deferred loan origination costs less an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans receivable is
recorded on the accrual basis. An allowance for uncollected interest is established on loans where management has determined that
the borrowers may be unable to meet contractual principal and/or interest obligations or where interest or principal is 90 days
or more past due, unless the loans are well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, an allowance
for uncollected interest is established and charged against current income. Thereafter, interest income is not recognized unless
the financial condition and payment record of the borrower warrant the recognition of interest income. Generally, loans are restored
to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable
period of time (generally six consecutive months) and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest
is no longer in doubt. Interest on loans that have been restructured is accrued according to the renegotiated terms, unless on
non-accrual. Net loan origination fees and costs are deferred and amortized into income over the contractual lives of the related
loans by use of the level yield method. Past due status of loans is based upon the contractual due date.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan
losses represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the statement of financial condition
date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, and
decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses,
and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable are
charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly
unlikely.
The
allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated.
Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance is based on the Company’s past
loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability
to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and
other relevant factors.
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
This evaluation is inherently
subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
Risk characteristics associated with the types of loans the Company underwrites are as follows:
Multi-family, Mixed-use
and Non-residential Real Estate Loans
. Loans secured by multi-family, mixed-use, and non-residential real estate generally
have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Of primary concern
in multi-family, mixed-use and non-residential real estate lending is the current and potential cash flow of the property and the
borrower’s demonstrated ability to operate that type of property. Payments on loans secured by income properties often depend
on successful operation and management of the properties. As a result, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent
than residential real estate loans to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.
Commercial and Industrial
Loans
. Unlike residential mortgage loans, which are generally made on the basis of a borrower’s ability to make repayment
from the operation and cash flow from the real property whose value tends to be more ascertainable, commercial and industrial loans
are of higher risk and tend to be made on the basis of a borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s
business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial and industrial loans may depend substantially
on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing such loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to
appraise and may fluctuate in value.
Construction Loans
.
Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term loans secured by improved,
occupied real estate due to: (1) the increased difficulty at the time the loan is made of estimating the building costs and the
selling price of the property to be built; (2) the increased difficulty and costs of monitoring the loan; (3) the higher degree
of sensitivity to increases in market rates of interest; and (4) the increased difficulty of working out loan problems. The Company
sought to minimize these risks by limiting the amount of construction loans outstanding at any time, by limiting our construction
loans to borrowers who have in effect pre-sold their construction project, and by limiting our construction loans to multi-family
and single family projects.
Consumer Loans.
We offer personal loans, loans secured by passbook savings accounts, certificates of deposit accounts or statement savings accounts,
and overdraft protection for checking accounts. We do not believe these loans represent a significant risk of loss to the Company.
The allowance for loan
losses consists of specific and general reserves. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For
loans that are classified as impaired, a specific allowance is established or a partial charge-off is taken when the discounted
cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to
collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors
considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting
scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally
are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case
basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay,
the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment records, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal
and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis.
The Company does not evaluate
individual one-to-four family residential real estate and consumer loans for impairment, unless such loans are part of a larger
relationship that is impaired, or are classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).
The estimated fair values
of substantially all of the Company’s impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral
or discounted cash flows.
For loans secured by real
estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through in-house or third-party appraisals. When a real estate secured loan
becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision
is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original
appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised values might be discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the
collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include estimated costs to sell the property.
For loans secured by non-real
estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower’s
financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from
these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets.
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
The general component covers
pools of loans by loan class including loans not considered impaired, as well as smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential
real estate and consumer loans. These pools of loans are evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates, adjusted
for qualitative factors. These qualitative risk factors include:
|
1.
|
Changes in policies and procedures in underwriting standards and collections.
|
|
2.
|
Changes in economic conditions.
|
|
3.
|
Changes in nature and volume of lending.
|
|
4.
|
Experience of origination team.
|
|
5.
|
Changes in past due loan volume and severity of classified assets.
|
|
6.
|
Quality of loan review system.
|
|
7.
|
Collateral values in general throughout lending territory.
|
|
8.
|
Concentrations of credit.
|
|
9.
|
Competition, legal and regulatory issues.
|
Each factor is assigned
a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management’s best judgment using relevant information
available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation of changes in conditions
in a narrative accompanying the allowance for loan loss calculation.
The allowance for loan
losses calculation methodology includes further segregation of loan classes into risk rating categories. The borrower’s overall
financial condition, repayment sources, guarantors and value of collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated annually for commercial
loans or when credit deficiencies arise, such as delinquent loan payments, for commercial, residential and consumer loans. Credit
quality risk ratings include regulatory classifications of pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans criticized
as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses
may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. Loans classified substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses
that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth
and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.
Loans classified doubtful
have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in
full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible
and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans not classified are rated pass.
The allowance calculation
for each pool of loans is also based on the loss factors that reflect the Company’s historical charge-off experience adjusted
for current economic conditions applied to loan groups with similar characteristics or classifications in the current portfolio.
To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed,
the Company has a structured loan rating process which allows for a periodic review of its loan portfolio and the early identification
of potential impaired loans. Such system takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, size of loans, type
of collateral and financial condition of the borrowers. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is ultimately responsible for
the timely and accurate risk rating of the loan portfolio.
Loans whose terms are modified
are classified as TDRs if the Company grants such borrowers concessions and it is deemed that those borrowers are experiencing
financial difficulty. Concessions granted under a TDR generally involve a temporary reduction in interest rate or an extension
of a loan’s stated maturity date. Adversely classified, non-accrual TDRs may be returned to accrued status if principal and
interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for six consecutive months after modification. All TDR loans are classified
as impaired.
In addition, banking regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses
and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them
at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management. Based on management’s comprehensive
analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of June 30, 2014.
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
Goodwill
Goodwill totaled $749,000
at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and consists of goodwill acquired in the business combination completed by the Company in
November 2007. The Company tests goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year for impairment, or more frequently if certain
indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. The Company utilizes a two-step approach.
The first step requires a comparison of the carrying value of the reporting unit to the fair value of the unit. The Company estimates
the fair value of the reporting unit through internal analyses and external valuation, which utilizes an income approach based
on the present value of future cash flows. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, impairment exists
and the Company will perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.
The second step of the goodwill impairment test, if necessary, compares the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill
with its carrying value.
The implied fair value
of goodwill is determined in the same manner that the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined. The
Company allocates the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit, including identifiable
intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Any excess of the value of a reporting
unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. No impairment charges were
recorded for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company determined that
an adjustment to the goodwill impairment previously recorded in 2012 was necessary. As a result, an additional impairment charge
of $334,000 was recognized during the second quarter of 2013.
NOTE 2 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common
share is calculated by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed in a manner similar to basic earnings per common share
except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the incremental common shares (as
computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents
were issued during the period. Common stock equivalents may include restricted stock awards and stock options. Anti-dilutive shares
are common stock equivalents with weighted-average exercise prices in excess of the weighted-average market value for the periods
presented. The Company has not granted any restricted stock awards or stock options and had no potentially dilutive common stock
equivalents during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Unallocated common shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (“ESOP”) are not included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating
both basic and diluted earnings per common share until they are committed to be released.
NOTE 3 – EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP
PLAN
As of December 31, 2013
and June 30, 2014, the ESOP trust held 518,420 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represents all allocated and unallocated
shares held by the ESOP. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had allocated 181,447 shares to participants, and an additional 25,921
shares had been committed to be released. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had allocated 207,368 shares to participants, and an
additional 12,960 shares had been committed to be released.
The Company recognized
compensation expense of $47,000 and $39,000 during the three-month periods ended June 30 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $94,000
and $75,000 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which equals the fair value of the ESOP shares
when they became committed to be released.

The maturities shown above
are based upon contractual final maturity. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities due to scheduled monthly repayments
and due to the underlying borrowers having the right to prepay their obligations.
NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
The Company uses fair value
measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The Company’s
securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required
to record at fair value other assets and liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as impaired loans and other real estate owned.
U.S. GAAP has established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy
are as follows:
NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES (Continued)
Level 1
:
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
|
An asset’s or liability’s
level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within
the fair value hierarchy used are as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
(Level 1)
|
|
|
(Level 2)

Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various
Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable.
|
|
(2)
|
Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and aged appraisals. The range
of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES (Continued)
The following methods and
assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2014 and December 31,
2013:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Certificates
of Deposit and Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
For these short-term instruments,
the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Securities
Fair values for securities
available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are determined utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair
value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer
quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus
prepayments speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things.
Loans
Fair values are estimated
for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. The total loan portfolio is first divided into performing and non-performing
categories. Performing loans are then segregated into adjustable and fixed rate interest terms. Fixed rate loans are segmented
by type, such as construction, other loans secured by real estate, commercial and industrial loans, and consumer. Certain types,
such as commercial loans and consumer loans, are further segmented by maturity and type of collateral.
For performing loans, fair
value is calculated by discounting scheduled future cash flows through estimated maturity using a market rate that reflects the
credit and interest-rate risks inherent in the loans. The discounted value of the cash flows is reduced by a credit risk adjustment
based on internal loan classifications. For non-performing loans, fair value is calculated by discounting the estimated future
cash flows from the remaining carrying value at a market rate. For impaired loans which the Company has measured and recorded impairment
generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral, fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party
appraisal of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are typically included as
Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
FHLB of New York Stock
The carrying amount of
the FHLB of New York stock approximates its fair value, and considers the limited marketability of this security.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair value of deposits
with no stated maturity, such as non-interest-bearing demand deposits, money market accounts, interest checking accounts, and savings
accounts is equal to the amount payable on demand. Time deposits are segregated by type, size, and remaining maturity. The fair
value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is based on rates currently
offered in the market.
FHLB of New York Advances
The fair value of the FHLB
advances is estimated based on the discounted value of future contractual payments. The discount rate is equivalent to the estimated
rate at which the Company could currently obtain similar financing.
Off-Balance- Sheet Financial Instruments
The fair value of commitments
to extend credit is estimated based on an analysis of the interest rates and fees currently charged to enter into similar transactions,
considering the remaining terms of the commitments and the credit-worthiness of the potential borrowers. At June 30, 2014 and December
31, 2013, the estimated fair values of these off-balance-sheet financial instruments were immaterial.
Management uses its best
judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any
estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value
amounts have been measured as of their respective year-ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial
statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to
the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year-end.
NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES (Continued)
Off-Balance- Sheet Financial Instruments
(Continued)
The above information should
not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a
limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity
used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

The multi-family mortgage loan had an original
interest rate of 6.75% with an amortization of 25 years. We reduced the interest rate and converted the monthly payments to interest
only for twenty months and then amortizing for 30 years, with a balloon payment after approximately five and one-half years from
the modification date.
Two non-residential mortgage loans had an original
interest rate of 6.75% with an amortization of 25 years. We reduced the interest rate and converted the monthly payments to interest
only for twenty months and then amortizing for 30 years, with a balloon payment after approximately five and one-half years from
the modification date.
One non-residential mortgage loan had an original
interest rate of 6.75% with an amortization of 30 years. We reduced the interest rate and converted the monthly payments to interest
only for nineteen months and then amortizing for 30 years, with a balloon payment after two years from the modification date.
There were no loans modified in troubled debt
restructuring during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, none of the loans that were modified during
the previous twelve months had defaulted in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2013, none of the
loans that were modified during the previous twelve months had defaulted in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013.
NOTE 8 – EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2013, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2013-11,
Presentation
of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,
which provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (NOL)
carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The FASB’s objective in issuing this ASU is to eliminate
diversity in practice resulting from a lack of guidance on this topic in current U.S. GAAP. This ASU applies to all entities with
unrecognized tax benefits that also have tax loss or tax credit carryforwards in the same tax jurisdiction as of the reporting
date. For public entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within
those years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2014, the FASB
issued ASU 2014-04,
Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,
which clarifies that an in substance
repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate
property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loans, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real
estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property
to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement.
Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate
property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate
property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. For public entities,
the guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014.
The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
On May 28, 2014, the
FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with
Customers
. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from
contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The
ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The
adoption of this standard effective April 1, 2017 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 9 – DIVIDEND RESTRICTION
NorthEast Community Bancorp
MHC (the “MHC”) held 7,273,750 shares, or 58.8%, of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, and the
minority public shareholders held 41.2% of outstanding stock, at June 30, 2014. The MHC filed notice with, and received approval
from, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia to waive its right to receive cash dividends for the period from November 13, 2013
through November 12, 2014.
The MHC has waived receipt
of all past dividends paid by the Company through June 30, 2014, with the exception of the dividend for the quarter ended June
30, 2012. Because the MHC determined not to waive receipt of the dividend for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the MHC received
$218,000 in dividends in August 2012. The dividends waived are considered as a restriction on the retained earnings of the Company.
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate retained earnings restricted for cash dividends waived were $5,674,000
and $5,237,000, respectively.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report
contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of
the Company. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,”
“intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. The Company’s
ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have
a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, national
and regional economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including
policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of the loan or investment portfolios,
demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in the Company’s market area, changes
in real estate market values in the Company’s market area, and changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines.
Additional factors that may affect the Company’s results are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements
and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company does
not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to
any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence
of anticipated or unanticipated events.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We consider accounting
policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying
value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We consider the allowance for loan losses and valuation
of goodwill to be a critical accounting policy. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and procedures during
the six months ended June 30, 2014.
For additional information
on our critical accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
Second Quarter Performance Highlights
The Company’s earnings
for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 increased by $75,000 compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to an increase in net
interest income, an increase in non-interest income, and a decrease in non-interest expense, partially offset by a credit in provision
for loan losses that was less than the same period in 2013 and an increase in provision for income taxes. The Company had a credit
of $217,000 in provision for loan losses during the June 30, 2014 quarter compared to a credit of $423,000 in provision for loan
losses during the June 30, 2013 quarter.
Non-performing loans increased
by $6.0 million, or 128.1%, to $10.6 million as of June 30, 2014 from $4.7 million as of December 31, 2013. The increase in non-performing
loans was primarily due to the addition of five non-performing mortgage loans totaling $5.3 million and two non-performing commercial
and industrial loans totaling $2.5 million, partially offset by the conversion from non-performing to performing status of one
mortgage loan totaling $830,000, the satisfaction of one mortgage loan totaling $789,000, and the partial charge-off of $325,000
for one mortgage loan.
Our interest rate spread
decreased to 3.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 3.92% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and our net interest
margin decreased to 3.77% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 4.16% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Our loans receivable, net,
increased by $14.2 million, or 3.9%, to $382.0 million as of June 30, 2014 from $367.8 million at December 31, 2013 due primarily
to increases of $14.4 million in construction mortgage loans, $3.5 million in mixed-use mortgage loans, $1.1 million in multi-family
mortgage loans, and $348,000 in one-to-four family mortgage loans, offset by decreases of $3.8 million in non-residential mortgage
loans, $1.4 million in commercial and industrial loans, and $3,000 in consumer loans.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2014 and December
31, 2013
Total assets increased
by $17.2 million, or 3.7%, to $475.4 million at June 30, 2014 from $458.2 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in total assets
was due primarily to increases of $14.2 million in loans receivable, net, $6.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, $309,000 in
bank owned life insurance, and $189,000 in accrued interest receivable, offset by decreases of $2.4 million in other assets, $938,000
in securities held-to-maturity, and $303,000 in premises and equipment. The increase in total assets was funded primarily from
increases of $18.4 million in deposits and $570,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by a decrease of
$786,000 in advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance.
Loans receivable, net,
increased by $14.2 million, or 3.9%, to $382.0 million at June 30, 2014 from $367.8 million at December 31, 2013 due primarily
to loan originations totaling $66.1 million which exceeded loan repayments and charge-offs totaling $51.9 million. The increase
in the mortgage loan portfolio was due to increases of $14.4 million, or 219.2%, in the construction mortgage loan portfolio to
$21.0 million at June 30, 2014 from $6.6 million at December 31, 2013, $3.5 million, or 7.0%, in the mixed-use mortgage loan portfolio
to $53.0 million at June 30, 2014 from $50.5 million at December 31, 2013, $1.1 million, or 0.6%, in the multi-family mortgage
loan portfolio to $190.0 million at June 30, 2014 from $188.9 million at December 31, 2013, and $348,000, or 3.0%, in the one-to-four
family mortgage loan portfolio to $12.1 million at June 30, 2014 from $11.8 million at December 31, 2013, partially offset by decreases
of $3.8 million, or 4.6%, in the non-residential mortgage loan portfolio to $78.2 million at June 30, 2014 from $82.0 million at
December 31, 2013, $1.4 million, or 4.4%, in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio to $30.0 million at June 30, 2014 from
$31.3 million at December 31, 2013, and $3,000, or 1.6%, in the consumer loan portfolio to $158,000 at June 30, 2014 from $161,000
at December 31, 2013.
The increase in the construction
mortgage loan portfolio was due to the Company’s entry in 2012 in the Massachusetts construction market through the origination
of construction loans secured by the construction of multi-family and single family properties and the Company’s entry during
the latter part of 2013 into the New York State construction market through the origination of construction loans secured by the
construction of multi-family properties located in New York State.
Cash and cash equivalents
increased by $6.1 million, or 19.4%, to $37.6 million at June 30, 2014 from $31.5 million at December 31, 2013 due primarily to
increases in deposits. Bank owned life insurance increased by $309,000, or 1.5%, to $20.8 million at June 30, 2014 from $20.5 million
at December 31, 2013 due to accrued earnings during 2014. Accrued interest receivable increased by $189,000, or 14.9%, to $1.5
million at June 30, 2014 from $1.3 million at December 31, 2013 due primarily to an increase in the mortgage loan portfolio.
Other assets decreased
by $2.4 million, or 32.2%, to $5.1 million at June 30, 2014 from $7.5 million at December 31, 2013 due to a $1.9 million income
tax refund from the Internal Revenue Service that reduced current tax assets. Securities held-to-maturity decreased by $938,000,
or 11.1%, to $7.5 million at June 30, 2014 from $8.4 million at December 31, 2013 due primarily to repayments of $956,000. Premises
and equipment decreased by $303,000, or 2.5%, to $11.9 million at June 30, 2014 from $12.2 million at December 31, 2013 due primarily
to depreciation.
Deposits increased by $18.4
million, or 5.6%, to $343.6 million at June 30, 2014 from $325.2 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in deposits was primarily
attributable to increases of $17.8 million in certificates of deposit and $733,000 in regular savings accounts, partially offset
by decreases of $99,000 in NOW and money market accounts and $32,000 in non-interest bearing accounts. The increase in certificates
of deposit was due to non-broker certificates of deposit gathered through a nationwide certificate of deposit listing service from
banks and credit unions in amounts greater than $75,000 and less than $250,000. In this regard, we obtained $17.1 million in non-broker
certificates of deposit since December 31, 2013. The increase in deposits was primarily attributable to efforts by the Company
to increase liquidity, fund loan originations, and increase reliance on long term certificates of deposit.
Advance payments by borrowers
for taxes and insurance decreased by $786,000, or 19.7%, to $3.2 million at June 30, 2014 from $4.0 million at December 31, 2013
due primarily to remittances of taxes for our borrowers. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $570,000, or 14.8%,
to $4.4 million at June 30, 2014 from $3.9 million at December 31, 2013 due primarily to preparation of remittances of taxes for
our borrowers through the accounts payable process.
Stockholders’ equity
decreased by $892,000, or 0.9%, to $103.3 million at June 30, 2014, from $104.2 million at December 31, 2013. This decrease was
primarily the result of stock repurchases of $1.4 million, and cash dividends declared and paid of $289,000, partially offset by
comprehensive income of $693,000 and the amortization of $94,000 for the ESOP for the period.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June
30, 2014 and 2013
General.
Net income increased by $75,000, or 19.7%, to $456,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from net income of $381,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $35,000 in net interest income, an
increase of $21,000 in non-interest income, and a decrease of $296,000 in non-interest expenses, partially offset by a decrease
of $206,000 in provision for loan losses and an increase of $71,000 in income taxes.
Net
Interest Income.
Net interest income increased by $35,000, or 0.9%, to $4.02 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2014 from $3.99 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily
from an increase of $105,000 in interest income, partially offset by an increase of $70,000 in interest expense.
The net interest spread
decreased by 37 basis points to 3.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 3.92% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
The net interest margin decreased by 39 basis points between these periods from 4.16% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 to 3.77%
for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in the interest rate spread and the net interest margin in the second quarter
of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was due to a decrease of 40 basis points in the yield on our interest-earning assets
that exceeded a decrease of three basis points in the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities.
The average yield on our
interest-earning assets decreased by 40 basis points to 4.57% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 4.97% for the three
months ended June 30, 2013 and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities decreased by three basis points to 1.02% for the three
months ended June 30, 2014 from 1.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the yield on our interest-earning
assets was due to a decrease in the yield on loans receivable, offset by increases in the yield on securities and other interest-earning
assets. The decrease in the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities was due to a decrease in the cost of borrowed money, offset
by an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.
The following table summarizes
average balances and average yields and costs of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the three months
ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Total interest income increased
by $105,000, or 2.2%, to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $4.8 million for the three months ended June
30, 2013. Interest income on loans increased by $112,000, or 2.4%, to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from
$4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $45.1 million, or
13.1%, in the average balance of the loan portfolio to $388.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $343.5 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as originations outpaced repayments and charge-offs, net of recoveries. The increase in
the average balance of the loan portfolio was offset by a decrease of 52 basis points in the average yield on loans to 4.93% for
the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 5.45% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the average yield on
loans was due to the pay-off of numerous higher yielding mortgage loans and the refinancing and/or re-pricing to lower interest
rates of numerous mortgage loans in our loan portfolio.
Interest income on securities
decreased by $10,000, or 11.9%, to $74,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $84,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $2.3 million, or 19.9%, in the average balance of securities to $9.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, offset by an increase
of 28 basis points in the average yield on securities to 3.15% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 2.87% for the three
months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the average balance was due to the principal repayments on investment securities, offset
by an increase in FHLB New York stock. The increase in the yield was due to dividends from FHLB New York stock that yielded approximately
4.0% and an increase in FHLB New York stock as a percentage of total investment securities.
Interest income on other
interest-earning assets (consisting solely of interest-earning deposits) increased by $3,000, or 150.0% to $5,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2014 from $2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase
of four basis points in the average yield on other interest-earning assets to 0.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from
0.03% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, offset by a decrease of $125,000, or 0.4%, in the average balance of interest-earning
assets to $28.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $28.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The
increase in interest income on interest-earnings deposits was due to an increase in the average balance of higher yielding certificates
of deposit at other financial institutions, offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning deposits maintained
at the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Total interest expense
increased by $70,000, or 9.0%, to $845,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $775,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2013. Interest expense on deposits increased by $82,000, or 11.2%, to $812,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from
$730,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in the interest expense on deposits was a result of an increase
of $24.8 million, or 8.5%, in the average balance of interest bearing deposits to $315.3 million for the three months ended June
30, 2014 from $290.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in the interest expense on deposits was also
a result of an increase of three basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 1.03% for the three months ended
June 30, 2014 from 1.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
The interest expense of
our interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $2,000, or 3.8%, to $54,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $52,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense in our interest-bearing demand deposits was due to an
increase of two basis points in the average interest cost to 0.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 0.34% for the
three months ended June 30, 2013 as we offered competitive interest rates to generate deposits, offset by a decrease of $1.5 million,
or 2.4%, in the average balance of our interest-bearing demand deposits to $59.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014
from $61.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
The interest expense of
our interest-bearing savings and club deposits increased by $8,000, or 7.2%, to $118,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014
from $110,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense in our interest-bearing savings and club
deposits was due to an increase of $4.3 million, or 5.2%, in the average balance of our interest-bearing savings and club deposits
to $86.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $82.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase
in interest expense in our interest-bearing savings and club deposits was also due to a one basis point increase in the average
interest cost to 0.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 0.54% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as we continued
to offer competitive interest rates to generate deposits.
The interest expense of
our interest-bearing certificates of deposit increased by $72,000, or 12.7%, to $640,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014
from $568,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense in our interest-bearing certificates of
deposit was due to an increase of $22.0 million, or 14.9%, in the average balance of our interest-bearing certificates of deposit
to $169.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $147.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase
in our interest-bearing certificates was due to management’s decision to continue offering competitive interest rates to
generate deposits through a nationwide certificate of deposit listing service. The increase in interest expense of our interest-bearing
certificates of deposit was offset by a three basis point decrease in the average interest cost on such certificates to 1.51% for
the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 1.54% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the average interest
cost of our interest-bearing certificates of deposit was due to the re-pricing of maturing certificates of deposit and the acquisition
of competitively priced interest-bearing certificates of deposit through a non-broker nationwide certificate of deposit listing
service.
Interest expense on borrowings
decreased by $12,000, or 26.7%, to $33,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $45,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2013. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was due to a decrease of 283 basis points in the cost of borrowed money
to 0.77% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 3.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to the maturity
and repayment of higher costing FHLB advances during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and new lower cost FHLB advances obtained
during the first six months of 2014. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was partially offset by an increase of $12.1
million, or 241.0%, in the average balance of borrowed money to $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $5.0
million for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

The allowance to non-performing
loans ratio decreased to 36.93% at June 30, 2014 from 195.40% at June 30, 2013 due primarily to an increase in non-performing loans
to $10.6 million at June 30, 2014 from $2.2 million at June 30, 2013 and a decrease in the allowance for loan losses. The increase
in non-performing loans was due to the addition of seven mortgage loans totaling $7.6 million and four commercial and industrial
loans totaling $2.5 million, partially offset by the conversion from non-performing to performing status of three mortgage loans
totaling $1.0 million and the satisfaction of one mortgage loan totaling $727,000.
The allowance for loan
losses was $3.93 million at June 30, 2014, $4.02 million at December 31, 2013, and $4.21 million at June 30, 2013. We recorded
a credit provision for loan losses of ($217,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a credit provision for loan
losses of ($423,000) for the three month period ended June 30, 2013. The reduction in the allowance for loan losses was due to
the Company’s assessment that there are no losses anticipated in connection with the increase in non-performing loans beyond
the amounts already charged-off, that there has been an improvement in the Company’s historical charge-offs, and that the
level of allowance for loan losses was adequate due to improvements in the economy and the multi-family, mixed-use and non-residential
real estate market.
We had charge-offs of $398,000
during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to charge-offs of $105,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2013. We
recorded recoveries of $340,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to recoveries of $27,000 during the three
months ended June 30, 2013.
Non-interest
Income.
Non-interest income increased by $21,000, or 4.5%, to $487,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014
from $466,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to increases of $20,000 in advisory fee
income generated by our wealth management division, and $8,000 in other loan fees and service charges, offset by a decrease of
$7,000 in earnings on bank owned life insurance. The increase in advisory fee income from our wealth management division was due
to an increase in assets under management. The increase in other loan fees and service charges was due to an increase in loan fees
as our loan portfolio increased. The decrease in earnings on bank owned life insurance was due to a decrease in the effective yield
of the underlying investments.
Non-interest
Expense.
Non-interest expense decreased by $296,000, or 6.8%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
2014 from $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease resulted primarily from decreases of $334,000 in
impairment loss on goodwill, $136,000 in real estate owned expenses, $14,000 in equipment expense, and $10,000 in advertising expense,
partially offset by increases of $105,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $38,000 in FDIC insurance expense, $37,000 in other
non-interest expense, $10,000 in occupancy expense, and $8,000 in outside data processing expense.
The Company did not have
any impairment loss on goodwill in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to a $334,000 impairment loss on goodwill recognized
in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The impairment loss on goodwill during the second quarter of 2013 was due to the Company’s
determination that an adjustment to the goodwill impairment of $227,000 previously recorded in 2012 was necessary. The goodwill
was recorded in connection with the Hayden Financial Group acquisition in 2007. The impairment was caused primarily by the expected
decrease in other revenue from this division resulting from a reduction in personnel.
Real estate owned expense
decreased by $136,000, or 78.6%, to $37,000 in 2014 from $173,000 in 2013 due to operating expenses related to one foreclosed property
during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to two foreclosed properties during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and a loss
of $51,000 on the sale of a real estate owned during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Equipment expense decreased
by $14,000, or 9.3%, to $136,000 in 2014 from $150,000 in 2013 due to decreases in the purchases of additional equipment and continued
efforts to contain expenses. Advertising expense decreased by $10,000, or 50.0%, to $10,000 in 2014 from $20,000 in 2013 due to
continued efforts to contain expenses.
Salaries and employee benefits,
which represented 51.6% of the Company’s non-interest expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, increased by $105,000,
or 5.3%, to $2.1 million in 2014 from $2.0 million in 2013 due to the staffing of the Rockland County, New York loan production
office, offset by a reduction in the number of full time equivalent employees to 99 at June 30, 2014 from 104 at June 30, 2013.
The reduction in staff occurred in the wealth management department and branch operations.
FDIC insurance expense
increased by $38,000, or 45.8%, to $121,000 in 2014 from $83,000 in 2013 due to increases in the Company’s assessment base
and quarterly assessment multiplier from 2013 to 2014.
Other non-interest expense
increased by $37,000, or 3.8%, to $1.02 million in 2014 from $978,000 in 2013 due mainly to increases of $85,000 in miscellaneous
other non-interest expenses, $54,000 in audit and accounting fees, $29,000 in service contracts, $10,000 in directors, officers
and employee expenses, and $9,000 in telephone expenses, offset by decreases of $113,000 in legal fees, $23,000 in directors compensation,
and $14,000 in office supplies and stationery. The decrease in legal fees from the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to the
quarter ended June 30, 2014 was due primarily to the Company’s decision to capitalize certain legal fees.
Occupancy expense increased
by $10,000, or 2.9%, to $356,000 in 2014 from $346,000 in 2013 and outside data processing expense increased by $8,000, or 2.8%,
to $291,000 in 2014 from $283,000 in 2013 due to the addition of the Rockland County, New York loan production office in January
2014.
Income
Taxes
.
Income tax expense increased by $71,000, or 51.1%, to $210,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2014 from $139,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase resulted primarily from a $146,000 increase in pre-tax
income in 2014 compared to 2013. The effective tax rate was 31.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 26.7% for the three
months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate between periods was due to a higher percentage of our pre-tax
income being tax-exempt, specifically the earnings on bank-owned life insurance, in 2013 compared to 2014.
Comparison of Operating Results For The
Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013
General.
Net income increased by $83,000, or 14.1%, to $671,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2014 from $588,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily the result of an
increase of $64,000 in net interest income and a decrease of $343,000 in non-interest expenses, offset by a decrease of $146,000
in credit to the provision for loan losses, a decrease of $69,000 in non-interest income, and an increase of $109,000 in the provision
for income taxes.
Net
Interest Income
.
Net interest income increased by $64,000, or 0.8%, to $7.97 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2014 from $7.91 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily
from an increase of $124,000 in interest income that exceeded an increase of $60,000 in interest expense.
The net interest spread
decreased by 25 basis points to 3.57% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 3.82% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
The net interest margin decreased by 27 basis points between these periods from 4.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to
3.79% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in the interest rate spread and the net interest margin in 2014 compared
to the same period in 2013 was due to a decrease of 31 basis points in the yield on our interest-earning assets that exceeded a
decrease of six basis points in the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities.
The average yield on our
interest-earning assets decreased by 31 basis points to 4.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 4.89% for the six months
ended June 30, 2013 and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities decreased by six basis points to 1.01% for the six months
ended June 30, 2014 from 1.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the yield on our interest-earning assets
was due to a decrease in the yield on loans receivable, offset by increases in the yield on securities and other interest-earning
assets. The decrease in the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities was due to a decrease in the cost of borrowed money, offset
by an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.
The following table summarizes
average balances and average yields and costs of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the six months ended
June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Total interest income increased
by $124,000, or 1.3%, to $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
2013. Interest income on loans increased by $157,000, or 1.7%, to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $9.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of an increase of $39.1 million, or 11.4%, in the average balance of
the loan portfolio to $383.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $344.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
2013 as originations outpaced repayments. The increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio was offset by a decrease of
47 basis points in the average yield on loans to 4.95% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 5.42% for the six months ended
June 30, 2013. The decrease in the average yield on loans was due to the pay-off of higher yielding mortgage loans and the refinancing
and/or re-pricing to lower interest rates of mortgage loans in our loan portfolio.
Interest income on securities
decreased by $36,000, or 19.7%, to $147,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $183,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $2.7 million, or 21.6%, in the average balance of securities to $9.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, offset by an increase
of eight basis points in the average yield on securities to 3.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 2.96% for the six
months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the average balance was due to the principal repayments on investment securities, offset
by an increase in FHLB New York stock. The increase in the yield was due to dividends from FHLB New York stock that yielded approximately
4.0% and an increase in FHLB New York stock as a percentage of total investment securities.
Interest income on other
interest-earning assets (consisting solely of interest-earning deposits) increased by $3,000, or 50.0%, to $9,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2014 from $6,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase of three
basis points in the average yield on other interest-earning assets to 0.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 0.04% for
the six months ended June 30, 2013, offset by a decrease of $5.4 million or 16.4%, in the average balance of interest-earning assets
to $27.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $33.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase
in interest income on interest-earnings deposits was due to an increase in the average balance of higher yielding certificates
of deposit at other financial institutions, offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning deposits maintained
at the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Total interest expense
increased by $60,000, or 3.7%, to $1.66 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $1.60 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2013. Interest expense on deposits increased by $108,000, or 7.4%, to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014
from $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in the interest expense on deposits was a result of an increase
of $17.7 million, or 6.1%, in the average balance of interest bearing deposits to $309.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 2014 from $291.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in the interest expense on deposits was also
a result of an increase of one basis point in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 1.01% for the six months ended June
30, 2014 from 1.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
The interest expense of
our interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $7,000, or 6.9%, to $109,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $102,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense in our interest-bearing demand deposits was due to an
increase of two basis points in the average interest cost to 0.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 0.33% for the six
months ended June 30, 2013 as we continued to offer competitive interest rates to generate deposits, offset by a decrease of $62,000,
or 0.1%, in the average balance of our interest-bearing demand deposits to $61.42 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014
from $61.48 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
The interest expense of
our interest-bearing savings and club deposits increased by $14,000, or 6.4%, to $233,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014
from $219,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense in our interest-bearing savings and club
deposits was due to an increase of $3.2 million, or 3.9%, in the average balance of our interest-bearing savings and club deposits
to $85.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $82.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase
in interest expense in our interest-bearing savings and club deposits was also due to a 1 basis point increase in the average interest
cost to 0.54% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 0.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as we offered competitive
interest rates to generate deposits.
The interest expense of
our interest-bearing certificates of deposit increased by $87,000, or 7.7%, to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014
from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense in our interest-bearing certificates
of deposit was due to an increase of $14.5 million, or 9.8%, in the average balance of our interest-bearing certificates of deposit
to $162.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $147.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase
in our interest-bearing certificates was due to management’s decision to continue offering competitive interest rates to
generate deposits through a nationwide certificate of deposit listing service. The increase in interest expense of our interest-bearing
certificates of deposit was offset by a 3 basis point decrease in the average interest cost on such certificates to 1.51% for the
six months ended June 30, 2014 from 1.54% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in the average interest cost of
our interest-bearing certificates of deposit was due to the re-pricing of maturing certificates of deposit and the acquisition
of competitively priced interest-bearing certificates of deposit through a non-broker nationwide certificate of deposit listing
service.
Interest expense on borrowings
decreased by $48,000, or 32.9%, to $98,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $146,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2013. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was due to a decrease of 257 basis points in the cost of borrowed money
to 1.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 3.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to the maturity
and repayment of higher costing FHLB advances in June 2014 and new lower costing FHLB advances obtained in December 2013 and the
first six months of 2014. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was partially offset by an increase of $10.9 million,
or 134.1%, in the average balance of borrowed money to $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $8.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Non-interest
Income.
Non-interest income decreased by $69,000, or 6.7%, to $954,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2014 from $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $104,000 in other
loan fees and service charges and $11,000 in earnings on bank owned life insurance, partially offset by increases of $45,000 in
advisory fee income generated by our wealth management division and $1,000 in other non-interest income. The decrease in other
loan fees and service charges was due to decreases of $66,000 in mortgage broker fee income and $40,000 in loan fee income. The
increase in advisory fee income from our wealth management division was due to an increase in assets under management.
Non-interest
Expense.
Non-interest expense decreased by $343,000, or 4.0%, to $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2014 from $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease resulted primarily from decreases of $334,000 in impairment
loss on goodwill, $147,000 in real estate owned expenses, $35,000 in equipment expenses, $16,000 in outside data processing expenses,
and $9,000 in advertising expense, offset by increases of $135,000 in FDIC insurance expense, $37,000 in occupancy expense, $18,000
in salaries and employee benefits, and $8,000 in other non-interest expense.
The Company did not have
any impairment loss on goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company determined
that an adjustment to the goodwill impairment of $227,000 previously recorded in 2012 was necessary. As a result, an additional
impairment charge of $334,000 was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The goodwill was recorded in connection with
the Hayden Financial Group acquisition in 2007. The impairment was caused primarily by the expected decrease in other revenue from
this division resulting from a reduction in personnel.
Real estate owned expense
decreased by $147,000, or 56.8%, to $112,000 in 2014 from $259,000 in 2013 due to operating expenses related to one foreclosed
property during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to two foreclosed properties during the six months ended June 30, 2013
and a loss of $51,000 on the sale of a real estate owned during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Equipment expense decreased
by $35,000, or 10.6%, to $296,000 in 2014 from $331,000 in 2013 due to decreases in the purchases of additional equipment and continued
efforts to contain expenses. Outside data processing expense decreased by $16,000, or 2.9%, to $544,000 in 2014 from $560,000 in
2013 and advertising expense decreased by $9,000, or 30.0%, to $21,000 in 2014 from $30,000 in 2013 due to continued efforts to
contain expenses.
FDIC insurance expense
increased by $135,000, or 119.5%, to $248,000 in 2014 from $113,000 in 2013 due to increases in the Company’s assessment
base and quarterly assessment multiplier from 2013 to 2014. Occupancy expense increased by $37,000, or 5.0%, to $777,000 in 2014
from $740,000 in 2013 due to the addition of the Rockland County, New York loan production office in January 2014.
Salaries and employee benefits,
which represented 53.1% of the Company’s non-interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2014, increased by $18,000,
or 0.4%, to $4.35 million in 2014 from $4.33 million in 2013 due to the staffing of the Rockland County, New York loan production
office, offset by a reduction in the number of full time equivalent employees to 99 at June 30, 2014 from 104 at June 30, 2013.
The reduction in staff occurred in the wealth management department and branch operations.
Other non-interest expense
increased by $8,000, or 0.4%, to $1.85 million in 2014 from $1.85 million in 2013 due mainly to increases of $96,000 in miscellaneous
other non-interest expenses, $91,000 in audit and accounting fees, $48,000 in service contracts, $45,000 in telephone expenses,
$6,000 in insurance expenses, and $4,000 in directors, officers and employee expenses, offset by decreases of $230,000 in legal
fees, $37,000 in directors compensation, and $15,000 in office supplies and stationery. The increase in miscellaneous other non-interest
expenses was due primarily to an increase of $117,000 in personnel finder’s fees, offset by a decrease of $17,000 in consulting
expenses. The increase in audit and accounting fees was due to an increase in services provided by our independent and contract
internal auditors. The decrease in legal fees was due primarily to the Company’s decision to capitalize certain legal fees.
Income
Taxes
.
Income tax expense increased by $109,000, or 69.0%, to $267,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2014 from $158,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase resulted primarily from a $192,000 increase in pre-tax
income in 2014 compared to 2013. The effective tax rate was 28.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 21.2% for
the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the decreased portion of pre-tax
income during 2014 attributed to tax-exempt earnings on bank-owned life insurance.

The non-accrual loans at
June 30, 2014 consisted of 12 loans in the aggregate, comprised of three multi-family mortgage loans, one mixed-use mortgage loan,
four non-residential mortgage loans, and four commercial and industrial loans.
Non-performing loans increased
by $6.0 million, or 128.1%, to $10.6 million at June 30, 2014 from $4.7 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in non-performing
loans was due to the addition of five mortgage loans totaling $5.3 million and two commercial and industrial loans totaling $2.5
million, offset by the satisfaction of one mortgage loan totaling $789,000, the conversion from non-performing to performing status
of one mortgage loan totaling $824,000, and the charge-off of one mortgage loan of $325,000.
The three non-accrual multi-family
mortgage loans totaled $3.1 million at June 30, 2014 and consisted primarily of the following mortgage loans:
|
(1)
|
An outstanding balance of $2.2 million secured by a 50 unit apartment building. We classified this
loan as substandard. The Company acquired the property at a sheriff sale on July 8, 2014 and has retained a property management
company to renovate and operate the property. Upon renovation and full lease-up of the property, the Company will evaluate its
options. We do not anticipate any loss due to the projected positive cash flow from the property.
|
|
(2)
|
An outstanding balance of $695,000 secured by a 23 unit apartment building. We classified this
loan as substandard. The Company has commenced a foreclosure action. We are evaluating the options currently available to us.
|
|
(3)
|
An outstanding balance of $200,000 secured by a six unit apartment building. We classified this
loan as substandard. The Company has commenced a foreclosure action. We are evaluating the options currently available to us.
|
The one non-accrual mixed-use
mortgage loan totaled $1.9 million, net of charge-off of $325,000, at June 30, 2014, and was secured by three separate buildings
with 25 apartment units and office spaces. We classified this loan as substandard. The Court has appointed a receiver who is currently
managing the property and a forensic accountant who is reviewing the books and records of the borrowing entity and managing partner.
Upon the hiring of the forensic accountant, the borrower filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy petition. The receiver is currently marketing
the property for sale.
The four non-accrual non-residential
mortgage loans totaled $3.0 million at June 30, 2014 and consisted primarily of the following mortgage loans:
|
(1)
|
An outstanding balance of $2.1 million secured by an office building. We classified this loan as
substandard. The borrowers have agreed to provide a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The Company has retained a property management
company to operate the property and has exercised the right to collect rents from the tenants. Upon minor renovation and lease-up
of the property, the Company will market the property for sale. We do not anticipate any loss due to the projected positive cash
flow from the property.
|
|
(2)
|
An outstanding balance of $448,000, net of charge-off of $400,000, secured by a strip shopping
center and warehouse. We classified this loan as substandard. The property was severely damaged by fire and the Company and borrower
are currently suing the insurance company and the borrower’s insurance agent as part of the Company’s collection efforts.
The borrower is marketing the property for sale.
|
|
(3)
|
An outstanding balance of $336,000, secured by a building housing auto repair and auto rental facilities.
We classified this loan as substandard. The Company has commenced a foreclosure action, but the borrower filed for bankruptcy protection
on March 18, 2014. The Chapter 11 bankruptcy was dismissed and the foreclosure action is continuing. We are evaluating the options
available and anticipate scheduling a foreclosure sale during the third quarter of 2014.
|
|
(4)
|
An outstanding balance of $197,000, secured by a restaurant and seafood market. We classified this
loan as substandard. The Company has commenced a foreclosure action. We are evaluating the options currently available to us.
|
The four non-accrual commercial
and industrial loans totaled $2.6 million at June 30, 2014 and consisted primarily of the following loans:
|
(1)
|
Two loans with an aggregate balance of $2.5 million, consisting of a line of credit with an outstanding
balance of $1.4 million and remaining available line of credit of $76,000 and a term loan with an outstanding balance of $1.1 million.
The loans are secured by the assets of a construction company. The Company is working with the borrower and the borrower’s
surety bonding company to cure the delinquencies and/or satisfy the loans.
|
|
(2)
|
Two loans with an aggregate balance of $79,000, consisting of a line of credit with an outstanding
balance of $48,000 and a remaining available line of credit of $2,000 and a term loan with an outstanding balance of $31,000. The
loans are secured by the assets of the business and a real estate property. We are evaluating the options currently available to
us.
|
Based on current appraisals
and/or fair value analyses of these properties, the Company does not anticipate any losses beyond the amounts already charged off.
At June 30, 2014, we owned
one foreclosed property with a net balance of $4.0 million consisting of an office building located in New Jersey. The property
was most recently appraised in November 2013 for $4.25 million. The Company plans to renovate the property shortly to attract more
tenants. Upon completion of the renovation, the Company will order an updated appraisal. The Company’s managing agent is
operating and marketing the building for additional tenants and sale. The Company won a $1.7 million judgment in July 2014 against
the former borrower whereby the judgment protects the Company in the event of a loss on the sale of the property.

There were four loans modified
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
One multi-family mortgage
loan had an original interest rate of 6.75% with an amortization of 25 years. We reduced the interest rate and converted the monthly
payments to interest only for twenty months and then amortizing for 30 years, with a balloon payment after approximately five and
one-half years from the modification date.
Two non-residential mortgage
loans had an original interest rate of 6.75% with an amortization of 25 years. We reduced the interest rate and converted the monthly
payments to interest only for twenty months and then amortizing for 30 years, with a balloon payment after approximately five and
one-half years from the modification date.
One non-residential mortgage
loan had an original interest rate of 6.75% with an amortization of 30 years. We reduced the interest rate and converted the monthly
payments to interest only for nineteen months and then amortizing for 30 years, with a balloon payment after two years from the

There were no charge offs
against loans classified as TDRs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Additions for the period consist of four non-residential
mortgage loans and one residential mortgage loans that were modified and real estate taxes and similar items paid to protect the
collateral position of the Company.
Liquidity
Management
.
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our
primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities, and borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources
of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
We regularly adjust our
investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demands; (2) expected deposit flows; (3) yields available
on interest-earning deposits and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.
Our most liquid assets
are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities
during any given period. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $37.6 million at June 30, 2014 and consisted primarily of interest-bearing
deposits at other financial institutions and miscellaneous cash items. The Company can also borrow an additional $80.8 million
from the FHLB of New York to provide additional liquidity.
At June 30, 2014, we had
$97.3 million in loan commitments outstanding, consisting of $38.6 million of real estate loan commitments, $26.9 million in unused
commercial and industrial loan lines of credit, $25.2 million in unused loans in process, $3.8 million in unused real estate equity
lines of credit, $2.7 million in commercial and industrial loan commitments, and $158,000 in consumer lines of credit. Certificates
of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2014 totaled $62.2 million. This represented 36.8% of certificates of deposit at June
30, 2014. We believe a large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers’ hesitancy
to invest their funds for long periods in the current interest rate environment. If these maturing deposits do not remain with
us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market
conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we paid on the certificates of deposit
due on or before June 30, 2014. We believe, however, based on past experience, a significant portion of our certificates of deposit
will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
Our primary investing activities
are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities. Our primary financing activities consist of deposit accounts and FHLB
advances. At June 30, 2014, we had the ability to borrow $80.8 million, net of $20.9 million in outstanding advances, from the
FHLB of New York. At June 30, 2014, we had no overnight advances outstanding. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of
interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. We generally manage
the pricing of our deposits to be competitive and to maintain or increase our core deposit relationships depending on our level
of real estate loan commitments outstanding. Occasionally, we offer promotional rates on certain deposit products to attract deposits
or to lengthen repricing time frames.
The Company is a separate
legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible
for paying any dividends declared to its shareholders and for the repurchase, if any, of its shares of common stock. At June 30,
2014, the Company had liquid assets of $11.7 million.
Capital
Management.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the FDIC, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of
capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad
risk categories. At June 30, 2014, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The Bank is considered “well capitalized”
under regulatory guidelines.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements.
In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage
customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, letters of credit and lines of credit.
For the three and six months
ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to
have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
