NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SB One Bancorp, (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) and our wholly owned subsidiary SB One Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries are SCB Investment Company, Inc., SCBNY Company, Inc., ClassicLake Enterprises, LLC, GFR Maywood, LLC, PPD Holding Company, LLC, Community Investing Company, Inc., 490 Boulevard Realty Corp., and SB One Insurance Agency Inc. ("SB One Insurance Agency"), a full service insurance agency located in Sussex County, New Jersey with a satellite office located in Bergen County, New Jersey. SB One Insurance Agency’s operations are considered a separate segment for financial disclosure purposes. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Bank operates eighteen banking offices: seven located in Sussex County, New Jersey, four located in Bergen County, New Jersey, two located in Essex County, New Jersey, one located in Hudson County, New Jersey, one located in Middlesex County, New Jersey, one located in Union County, New Jersey, one located in Warren County, New Jersey, and one located in Queens County, New York.

We are subject to the supervision and regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”). The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to applicable limits. The operations of the Company and the Bank are subject to the supervision and regulation of the FRB, the FDIC and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the “Department”) and the operations of SB One Insurance Agency are subject to supervision and regulation by the Department.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for full year financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

New Accounting Standards

In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all public business entities upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases which was issued to clarify and correct untended application of the guidance in ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU affect aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02 and provide clarification to related topics, such as 1) Rate implicit in the lease; 2) Reassessment of leases; 3) Transition guidance; and 4) Impairment of net investment in the lease. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides guidance related to comparative reporting requirements for initial adoption and separating lease and non-lease components. Currently, entities are required to adopt the new standard utilizing the modified retrospective approach. This amendment provides entities with an additional transition method which allows entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Currently, ASU 2016-02 provides a practical expedient to lessees to allow them to not separate non-lease components from lease components; however, it does not provide a similar practical expedient to lessors. This amendment provides a practical expedient to lessors which allows them the option to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components. However, the lessor practical expedient is limited to circumstances in which the non-lease components would otherwise be account for under the new revenue guidance (Topic 606). In addition, both of the following conditions must be met: 1) the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for non-lease components and associated lease components 2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. An entity that elects the lessor practical expedient is also required to provide certain disclosures. For entities that early adopted Topic 842 the amendments in these ASUs are effective upon issuance. The Company adopted both ASU No. 2016-02 and ASU No. 2018-11 effective January 1, 2019 and elected to apply the guidance as of the beginning of the period of adoption (January 1, 2019) and not restate comparative periods. The

Company also elected certain optional practical expedients, which allow the Company to forego a reassessment of (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) the initial direct costs for any existing leases. Additionally, the Company elected to adopt the practical expedient use of hindsight to determine right of use asset and lease liability for each lease with a renewal option through their first option date. Adoption of the standard did not result in material changes to the Company's consolidated results of operations. The Company's adoption of the ASU resulted in a right of use asset and lease liability of approximately $2.7 million at January 1, 2019. The impact of the adoption on the Company's operating results was not significant.

In March 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, which amends certain aspects of FASB's leasing standard, ASU 2016-02.1 ASU 2019-01 is the result of a proposed ASU issued in December 2018. The ASU addresses the following issues:


•	Determining the fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers.


•	Statement of cash flows presentation for sales-type and direct financing leases by lessors within the scope of ASC 942.3


•	Clarification of interim disclosure requirements during transition.

ASU 2019-01 will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In June, 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. In April, 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. ASU 2019-04 made amendments to the following categories in ASU 2016-13 which include Accrued interest, transfers between classifications or categories for loans and debt securities, recoveries, reinsurance recoverables, projections of interest rate environments for variable-rate financial instruments, costs to sell when foreclosure is probable, consideration of expected prepayments when determining the effective interest rate, vintage disclosures and extension and renewal options. In May, 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326); Targeted Transition Relief, ASU 2019-05 allows the Company to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (1) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (2) are within the scope of Topic 326 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under authoritative guidance for fair value. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. We are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. This ASU will be effective for public business entities that are SEC filers and considered smaller reporting companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All other entities will have one additional year. Early application of the guidance will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected not to adopt ASU 2016-13 early. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has determined that a third-party vendor will assist with model development, data governance and operational controls to support the adoption of this ASU. Model implementation, including development and validation, began in the second quarter of 2019, as did the establishment of the control activities required to support the models.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350). The main objective of this ASU is to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment by requiring impairment charges be based upon the first step in the current two-step impairment test under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350. Currently, if the fair value of a reporting unit is lower than its carrying amount (Step 1), an entity calculates any impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount (Step 2). This ASU’s objective is to simplify how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The standard will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (Subtopic 310-20). The update shortens the amortization period for premiums on purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The amendment will apply only to callable debt securities with explicit, noncontingent call features that are callable at fixed prices and on preset dates, apply to all premiums on callable debt securities, regardless of how they were generated, and require companies to reset the effective yield using the payment terms of the debt security if the call option is not exercised on the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The discount continues to be amortized to maturity and does not apply when the investor has already incorporated prepayments into the calculation of its effective yield under other

GAAP. The amendments in the ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company's adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The objective of the ASU is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and to make improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The amendments in the ASU will, among other things, 1) permit hedge accounting for risk components in hedging relationships involving nonfinancial risk and interest rate risks; 2) change the guidance for designating fair value hedges of interest rate risk and for measuring the change in fair value of the hedged item in fair value hedges of interest rate risk; 3) modify disclosures to include a tabular disclosure related to the effect on the income statement of fair value and cash flow hedges; and 4) eliminate the requirement to disclose the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of hedging instruments. These changes will more closely align the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with risk management activities and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the update with all transition requirements and elections being applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption. The Company's adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-07 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The main objective of this ASU is to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions in current GAAP by expanding the scope to include nonemployee share-based payment transactions. This ASU will apply to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used in their own operations by issuing share-based payments. This ASU does not apply to share-based payments used to provide financing to the issuer or awards issued in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in the ASU will require an entity to, among other things, 1) measure nonemployee share-based payment awards at the fair value of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue when the good has been delivered or the service has been rendered; 2) measure equity classified nonemployee share-based payment awards at the grant date; and 3) take into consideration the probability of satisfying performance conditions when accounting for nonemployee share-based payment awards with such conditions. ASU 2018-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted; however, an entity’s adoption date shall not be earlier than the entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. Per review of the ASU, the Company determined that it does not pertain to its current operations; therefore, no evaluation regarding adoption is required.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The updates in this ASU are part of the disclosure framework project and modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The modifications include removal and modification of disclosure requirements. The ASU removed the following disclosure requirements: a) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, b) the policy for timing of transfers between levels, c) the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements, and d) for nonpublic entities, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in earnings for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period. The ASU added the following disclosure requirements: a) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and b) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also modified the following disclosure requirements: a) in lieu of a rollforward for Level 3 fair value measurements, a nonpublic entity is required to disclose transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and purchases and issues of Level 3 assets and liabilities; b) for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee's assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly; and c) clarification that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The updates in this ASU are part of the disclosure framework project ASU 2018-14 and modify the disclosure requirements under ASC 715-201 for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Those modifications include the removal, addition, and of disclosure requirements as well as clarifying specific disclosure requirements. The ASU removed the following disclosures: a) the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year; b) the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer; c) the disclosures related to the June 2001 amendments to the Japanese Welfare Pension Insurance Law; d) related party disclosures about the amount of future annual benefits covered by insurance and annuity contracts and significant transactions between the employer or related parties and the plan; e) for nonpublic entities, the reconciliation of the opening balances to the closing balances of plan assets measured on a recurring basis in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy; however, nonpublic entities will be required to disclose separately the amounts of transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and purchases of Level 3 plan assets and f) for public entities, the effects of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the (i) aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and (ii) benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. The ASU added the following disclosures: x) the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates and y) an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. The ASU then clarified the following disclosures: 1) the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with PBOs more than plan assets; and 2) the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with ABOs more than plan assets. ASU 2018-14 will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The ASU permits the use of the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. ASU 2018-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period upon issuance of this ASU if an entity already has adopted ASU 2017-12. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. The Company's adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS

On January 4, 2018, the Company announced the successful closing of the merger with Community Bank of Bergen County, NJ, a New Jersey-chartered bank (“Community”) in an all-stock transaction (the “Community Merger”). The Community Merger enhanced and expanded SB One Bank’s presence in Bergen County, New Jersey with the addition of 3 full service branch locations in that county, which complements SB One Bank’s existing location in Oradell, New Jersey. Under the terms of the agreement, Community merged with and into SB One Bank, with SB One Bank being the surviving entity and each outstanding share of Community common stock was exchanged for 0.97 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company issued 1,873,028 shares of its common stock, having an aggregate fair value of $51.9 million in the Community Merger and paid approximately $2 thousand in cash for fractional shares. Outstanding Community stock options were paid out in cash by the Company for a total payment of $140 thousand. Expenses related to the Community Merger totaled $4.0 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

On December 21, 2018, the Company announced the successful completion of the merger with Enterprise Bank N.J. (“Enterprise”) in an all-stock transaction (the “Enterprise Merger”). The Enterprise Merger is expected to enhance and expand the Company's presence in Union, Middlesex and Essex Counties, New Jersey with the addition of 4 full service branch locations in those counties. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Enterprise merged with and into SB One Bank and each outstanding share of Enterprise common stock was exchanged for 0.4538 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued 1,573,454 shares of its common stock, having an aggregate fair value of $32.4 million and paid approximately $1 thousand in cash for fractional shares. Outstanding Enterprise stock options were paid out in cash by the Company for a total payment of $1.6 million. Expenses related to the Enterprise Merger totaled $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Community

The Community acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management's best estimate using

information available at the date of the acquisition, including the use of a third party valuation specialist. The following table summarized the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for Community.



(Dollars in thousands)	January 4, 2018

Cash and cash equivalents	$	6,693
Interest bearing time deposits with other banks	100
Securities available for sale	75,909
Other bank stock	1,155
Loans	236,010
Foreclosed real estate	1,312
Premises and equipment, net	10,612
Accrued interest receivable	824
Goodwill (banking segment)	22,298
Intangibles assets	1,331
Bank-owned life insurance	7,963
Other assets	1,677
Total Assets	$	365,884

Deposits	$	(301,157	)
Borrowings	(12,000		)
Other liabilities	(844		)
Total Liabilities	$	(314,001	)
Net consideration paid - common shares issued	$	51,883

The fair values of deposit liabilities with no stated maturities such as checking, money market and savings accounts, were assumed to equal the carrying amounts since these deposits are payable on demand. The fair values of certificates of deposits and IRAs represent the present value of contractual cash flows discounted at market rates for similar certificates of deposit.

The Company has finalized the accounting as a result of the merger with Community.

Fair values of the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined as follows:

Investment securities available-for-sale

The estimated fair values of the investment securities available for sale, primarily comprised of U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government agencies and municipal bonds, were determined using open market pricing provided by multiple independent securities brokers. Management reviewed the open market quotes used in pricing the securities. A fair value discount of $261 thousand was recorded on the investments.

Loans

Loans acquired in the Community acquisition were recorded at fair value, and there was no carryover related allowance for loan and lease losses. The fair values of loans acquired from Community were estimated using cash flow projections based on the remaining maturity and repricing terms. Cash flows were adjusted for estimated future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected cash flows were then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans. The fair value of the acquired loans receivable had a gross amortized cost basis of $242.5 million. The table below illustrates the fair value adjustments made to the amortized cost basis in order to present a fair value of the loans acquired. The credit adjustment on purchased credit impaired loans is derived in accordance with ASC 310-30 and represents the portion of the loan balances that has been deemed uncollectible based on the Company’s expectations of future cash flows for each respective loan on a level yield amortization over 3.5 years.



(Dollars in thousands)
Gross amortized cost basis at January 4, 2018	$	242,471
Fair value adjustment on general pooled loans	(3,737		)
Credit fair value adjustment on purchased credit impaired loans	(2,724		)
Fair value of acquired loans at January 4, 2018	$	236,010

For loans acquired without evidence of credit quality deterioration, the Company prepared the interest rate loan fair value and credit fair value adjustments. Loans were grouped into general pools by characteristics such as loan type, term, collateral and rate. Market rates for similar loans were obtained from various internal and external data sources and reviewed by management for reasonableness. The average of these rates was used as the fair value interest rate a market participant would utilize. A present value approach was utilized to calculate the interest rate fair value premium of $324 thousand.

Additionally for loans acquired without credit deterioration, a credit fair value adjustment was calculated using a two-part credit fair value analysis: 1) expected lifetime credit migration losses; and 2) estimated fair value adjustment for certain qualitative factors. The expected lifetime losses were calculated using historical losses observed at the Bank, Community and peer banks. The Company also estimated an environmental factor to apply to each loan type. The environmental factor represents potential discount which may arise due to general credit and economic factors. A credit fair value discount of $4.1 million was determined. Both the interest rate and credit fair value adjustments relate to performing loans and loans acquired with evidence of credit quality deterioration will be substantially recognized as interest income on a level yield amortization method over the weighted average life of the loans of 4 years.

The following is a summary of the loans accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 that were acquired in the Community acquisition as of the closing date.



(Dollars in thousands)	Acquired Credit Impaired Loans
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition	$	6,289
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (non-accretable difference)	1,819
Expected cash flows at acquisition	4,470
Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable difference)	846
Fair value of acquired loans	$	3,624

Bank Premises

The Company acquired three branches of Community, all of which were owned by Community, at a premium of $3.5 million. The fair value of Community’s premises was determined based upon independent third-party appraisals performed by licensed appraisers in the market in which the premises are located which will be amortized on a straight line basis over 40 years.

Core Deposit Intangible

The fair value of the core deposit intangible was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate commensurate with market participants. To calculate cash flows, deposit account servicing costs (net of deposit fee income) and interest expense on deposits were compared to the cost of alternative funding sources available through national brokered CD offering rates. The projected cash flows were developed using projected deposit attrition rates. The core deposit intangible will be amortized over ten years using the sum-of-years digits method.

The core deposit intangible totaled $1.3 million and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 10 years using an accelerated method of the sum of the years' digits. The goodwill will be evaluated annually for impairment. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized from the merger with Community was created based on the consideration paid by the Company for enhancing its presence in the Bergen County, NJ area in addition to our expected synergies from the combined operations of the Company and Community.

Time Deposits

The fair value adjustment for time deposits represents a discount from the value of the contractual repayments of fixed-maturity deposits using prevailing market interest rates for similar-term time deposits. The time deposit discount of approximately $965 thousand is being amortized into income on a level yield amortization method over the contractual life of the deposits of 22.5 months and a weighted average life of 16.5 months.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Community's bank-owned life insurance book value was $8.0 million with no fair value adjustment.

Borrowings

The Company acquired borrowings at Community's carrying value of $12.0 million with no fair value adjustment. The remaining maturity of Community's borrowings was less than thirty days at a weighted average cost of funds equivalent to the current market rate for the similar term borrowing type.

The following table presents certain pro forma information as if Community had been acquired on January 1, 2018. These results combine the historical results of the Company in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2018. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of Community’s provision for loan losses that would not have been necessary had the acquired loans been recorded at fair value as of January 1, 2018. The Company expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts below:



(Dollars in thousands)	Year Ended December 31, 2018
Total revenues (net interest income plus non-interest income)	$	54,941
Net Income	9,935
Basic and diluted earnings per share applicable to common stockholders	$	1.25

Following the closing of the Community Merger on January 4, 2018, the Company reported the results of the combined Company. The Company cannot disaggregate the additional revenue and income before extraordinary items provided by Community since the Company operates as one consolidated entity on its internal systems. The cumulative effect to the Company's net income and net income per share are reported on a consolidated basis for the period ended December 31, 2018.

Enterprise

The Enterprise acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management's best estimate using information available at the date of the acquisition, including the use of a third party valuation specialist. The following table summarized the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for Enterprise.

Loans

Loans acquired in the Enterprise acquisition were recorded at fair value, and there was no carryover related allowance for loan and lease losses. The fair values of loans acquired from Enterprise were estimated using cash flow projections based on the remaining maturity and repricing terms. Cash flows were adjusted for estimated future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected cash flows were then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans. The fair value of the acquired loans receivable had a gross amortized cost basis of $262.1 million. The table below illustrates the fair value adjustments made to the amortized cost basis in order to present a fair value of the loans acquired. There was no credit adjustment for purchased credit impaired loans in the Enterprise acquisition.



(Dollars in thousands)
Gross amortized cost basis at December 21, 2018	$	262,126
Fair value adjustment on general pooled loans	(4,956		)
Fair value of acquired loans at December 21, 2018	$	257,170

Additionally for loans acquired without credit deterioration, a credit fair value adjustment was calculated using a two-part credit fair value analysis: 1) expected lifetime credit migration losses; and 2) estimated fair value adjustment for certain qualitative factors. The expected lifetime losses were calculated using historical losses observed at the Bank, Enterprise and peer banks. The Company also estimated an environmental factor to apply to each loan type. The environmental factor represents potential discount which may arise due to general credit and economic factors. A credit fair value discount of $3.9 million was determined. Both the interest rate and credit fair value adjustments will be substantially recognized as interest income on a level yield amortization method over the expected life of the loans.

Bank Premises

The Company acquired four branches of Enterprise, all of which were leased by Enterprise, at a discount of $282 thousand. The fair value of Enterprise’s premises was determined based upon independent third-party appraisals performed by licensed appraisers in the market in which the premises are located which will be amortized on a straight line basis over 3 years.

Core Deposit Intangible

The core deposit intangible totaled $1.0 million and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 10 years using an accelerated method of the sum of the years' digits. The goodwill will be evaluated annually for impairment. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized from the merger with Enterprise was created based on the consideration

paid by the Company for enhancing its presence in the Bergen County, NJ area in addition to our expected synergies from the combined operations of the Company and Enterprise.

Time Deposits

The fair value adjustment for time deposits represents a discount from the value of the contractual repayments of fixed-maturity deposits using prevailing market interest rates for similar-term time deposits. The time deposit discount of approximately $1.0 million is being amortized into income on a level yield amortization method over the contractual life of the deposits of 11.4 months and a weighted average life of 11.4 months.

Borrowings

The Company acquired borrowings at Enterprise's carrying value of $47.3 million at a weighted average rate of 2.23% with a fair value adjustment of $149 thousand. The fair value of borrowings represents the present value of the borrowings expected contracted payments discounted by market rates for similar borrowings. Market rates were obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of New York as of December 21, 2018.

The following table presents certain pro forma information as if Enterprise had been acquired on January 1, 2018. These results combine the historical results of the Company in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments on January 1, 2018. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of Enterprise’s provision for loan losses that would not have been necessary had the acquired loans been recorded at fair value as of January 1, 2018. The Company expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts below:



(Dollars in thousands)	Year Ended December 31, 2018
Total revenues (net interest income plus non-interest income)	$	64,827
Net Income	12,496
Basic and diluted earnings per share applicable to common stockholders	$	1.80

The merger transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition. Management has not finalized the accounting in connection with the merger and is still in the process of assessing the fair value of loans, other assets and other liabilities which can result in an adjustment to the Company's goodwill and deferred tax asset.

Following the closing of the Enterprise Merger on December 21, 2018, the Company reported the results of the combined Company. The Company cannot disaggregate the additional revenue and income before extraordinary items provided by Enterprise since the Company operates as one consolidated entity on its internal systems. The cumulative effect to the Company's net income and net income per share are reported on a consolidated basis for the period ended December 31, 2018.

For each security whose fair value is less than its amortized cost basis, a review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. As of September 30, 2019, we reviewed our available for sale securities portfolio for indications of impairment. This review included analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value was lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and likelihood of selling the security. The intent and likelihood of sale of debt and equity securities are evaluated based upon our investment strategy for the particular type of security and our cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position.

U.S. Government Agencies

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the declines in fair value and the unrealized losses for our U.S. government agencies securities were primarily due to changes in spreads and market conditions and not credit quality. At September 30, 2019, there were sixteen securities with a fair value of $17.2 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $299 thousand. As of September 30, 2019, we did not intend to sell and it was not more-likely-than-not that we would be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Therefore, none of the U.S. government agencies securities at September 30, 2019 were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”).

At December 31, 2018, there were eighteen securities with a fair value of $21.6 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $371 thousand.

U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the change in fair value and unrealized losses for our U.S. government sponsored enterprises securities were primarily due to changes in spreads and market conditions and not credit quality. At September 30, 2019, there were eighteen securities with a fair value of $43.2 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $455 thousand. As of June 30, 2019, we did not intend to sell and it was not more-likely-than-not that we would be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Therefore, none of the U.S. government sponsored enterprise securities at September 30, 2019, were deemed to be OTTI.

At December 31, 2018, there were six securities with a fair value of $10.3 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $80 thousand.

State and Political Subdivisions

At September 30, 2019, there were no state and political subdivisions securities that had an unrealized loss.

At December 31, 2018, there were thirty-four securities with a fair value of $35.9 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $540 thousand.

Mortgage-Backed Securities - U.S. government-sponsored enterprises

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the change in fair value and unrealized losses for our mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises were primarily due to changes in spreads and market conditions and not credit quality. At September 30, 2019, there were nine securities with a fair value of $11.3 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $88 thousand. As of September 30, 2019, we did not intend to sell and it was not more-likely-than-not that we would be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Therefore, none of our mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 2019 were deemed to be OTTI.

At December 31, 2018, there were thirty-eight securities with a fair value of $59.3 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $1.2 million.

Corporate Debt

At September 30, 2019, there was one security with a fair value of $2.1 million that had an unrealized loss of $16 thousand. These securities typically have maturity dates greater than 5 years and the fair values are more sensitive to changes in market interest rates. As of September 30, 2019, we did not intend to sell and it was not more-likely-than-not that we would be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Therefore, none of our corporate debt securities at September 30, 2019, were deemed to be OTTI.

At December 31, 2018, there were no securities with an unrealized loss.

Temporarily Impaired Securities

For each security whose fair value is less than its amortized cost basis, a review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. As of September 30, 2019, there were no securities that had an unrealized loss. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and likelihood of selling the security. The intent and likelihood of sale of debt securities is evaluated based upon our investment strategy for the particular type of security and our cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. For each security whose fair value is less than their amortized cost basis, a review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The total amount of loans serviced for the benefit of others was approximately $221 thousand and $229 thousand at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

The carrying value of loans acquired in the Community acquisition and accounted for in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality,” was $3.0 million at September 30, 2019, which was $600 thousand less than the balance at the time of acquisition on January 4, 2018. Under ASC Subtopic 310-30, these loans, referred to as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans, may be aggregated and accounted for as pools of loans if the loans being aggregated have common risk characteristics. The Company elected to account for the loans with evidence of credit deterioration individually rather than aggregate them into pools. The difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition and the investment in the acquired loans, or the “accretable yield,” is recognized as interest income utilizing the level-yield method over the life of each loan. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the “non-accretable difference,” are not recognized as a yield adjustment, as a loss accrual or as a valuation allowance.

Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the yield on the loans over the remaining life, while decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments through a loss provision and an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses. Valuation allowances (recognized in the allowance for loan and lease losses) on these impaired loans reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (representing all cash flows that were expected at acquisition but currently are not expected to be received).

The following table presents changes in the accretable yield for PCI loans:

In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, we estimate losses based on the identification of specific problem loans through our credit review process and also estimate losses inherent in other loans on an aggregate basis by loan type. The credit review process includes the independent evaluation of the loan officer assigned risk ratings by the Chief Credit Officer and a third party loan review company. Such risk ratings are assigned loss component factors that reflect our loss estimate for each group of loans. It is management’s and the Board of Directors’ responsibility to oversee the lending process to ensure that all credit risks are properly identified, monitored, and controlled, and that loan pricing, terms and other safeguards against non-performance and default are commensurate with the level of risk undertaken and is rated as such based on a risk-rating system. Factors considered in assigning risk ratings and loss component factors include: borrower specific information related to expected future cash flows and operating results, collateral values, financial condition and payment status; levels of and trends in portfolio charge-offs and recoveries; levels in portfolio delinquencies; effects of changes in loan concentrations and observed trends in the economy and other qualitative measurements.

Our risk-rating system is consistent with the classification system used by regulatory agencies and with industry practices. Loan classifications of Substandard, Doubtful or Loss are consistent with the regulatory definitions of classified assets. The classification system is as follows:


•	Pass: This category represents loans performing to contractual terms and conditions and the primary source of repayment is adequate to meet the obligation. We have five categories within the Pass classification depending on strength of repayment sources, collateral values and financial condition of the borrower.


•	Special Mention: This category represents loans performing to contractual terms and conditions; however the primary source of repayment or the borrower is exhibiting some deterioration or weaknesses in financial condition that could potentially threaten the borrowers’ future ability to repay our loan principal and interest or fees due.

•

Substandard: This category represents loans that the primary source of repayment has significantly deteriorated or weakened which has or could threaten the borrowers’ ability to make scheduled payments. The weaknesses require close supervision by management and there is a distinct possibility that we could sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Such weaknesses could jeopardize the timely and ultimate collection of our loan principal and interest or fees due. Loss may not be expected or evident, however, loan repayment is inadequately supported by current financial information or pledged collateral.

•

Doubtful: Loans so classified have all the inherent weaknesses of a substandard loan with the added provision that collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable and not reasonably assured. The probability of at least partial loss is high, but extraneous factors might strengthen the asset to prevent loss. The validity of the extraneous factors must be continuously monitored. Once these factors are questionable the loan should be considered for full or partial charge-off.


•	Loss: Loans so classified are considered uncollectible, and of such little value that their continuance as active assets is not warranted. Such loans are fully charged off.

We recognize interest income on performing impaired loans as payments are received. On non-performing impaired loans we do not recognize interest income as all payments are recorded as a reduction of principal on such loans.

Impaired loans include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, postponement or forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection. The concessions rarely result in the forgiveness of principal or accrued interest. In addition, we attempt to obtain additional collateral or guarantor support when modifying such loans. Non-accruing restructured loans may be returned to accrual status when there has been a sustained

period of repayment performance (generally six consecutive months of payments) and both principal and interest are deemed collectible.

The following table presents the recorded investment in troubled debt restructured loans, based on payment performance status:

Troubled debt restructured loans are considered impaired and are included in the previous impaired loans disclosures in this footnote. As of September 30, 2019, we have not committed to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructuring.

There was one troubled debt restructuring in the amount of $362 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2019. There were two troubled debt restructurings during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. There was one troubled debt restructuring in the amount of $514 thousand that occurred during nine months ended September 30, 2018.

We may obtain physical possession of residential real estate collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan via foreclosure on an in-substance repossession. As of September 30, 2019, we had four foreclosed residential real estate properties with a carrying value of $890 thousand. As of December 31, 2018, we had five foreclosed residential real estate properties with a carrying value of $1.3 million. In addition, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, we had consumer loans with a carrying value of $547 thousand and $682 thousand collateralized by residential real estate property for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process.

NOTE 6 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares (unvested restricted stock grants and stock options) had been issued, as well as any adjustment

to income that would result from the assumed issuance of potential common shares that may be issued by us. Potential common shares related to stock options are determined using the treasury stock method.

There were 38,390 shares of options outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and no shares of options outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2018, which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

There were 69,001 shares of options outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 20,169 shares of options outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 7 – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

The components of other comprehensive income, both before tax and net of tax, are as follows:

NOTE 8 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

The Company had goodwill of $27.3 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Goodwill at December 31, 2018, included $22.3 million and $2.2 million related to the acquisitions of Community and Enterprise, respectively, $2.3 million related to the insurance segment and $486 thousand related to the banking segment. The Company reviews its goodwill and intangible assets annually, on September 30, or more frequently if conditions warrant, for impairment. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company compares the estimated fair value of its reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its book value; therefore, no write-down of goodwill was required at September 30, 2019. The estimated fair value of the insurance segment exceeded its carrying value by 17% at September 30, 2019.

The Company recorded a core deposit intangible of $1.3 million for the Community acquisition and $1.1 million for the Enterprise acquisition. The Company amortized $305 thousand and $182 thousand in core deposit intangible for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The estimated future amortization expense for the remainder of 2019 and for each of the succeeding five years ended December 31 is as follows (dollars in thousands):



For the Year Ended	Amortization Expense
2019	$	100
2020	364
2021	320

NOTE 10 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We currently have stock-based compensation plans in place for our directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors. Under the terms of these plans we may grant restricted shares and stock options for the purchase of our common stock. The stock-based compensation is granted under terms determined by our Compensation Committee. Our standard stock option grants have a maximum term of 10 years, generally vest over periods ranging between one and five years, and are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock is valued at the market value of the common stock on the date of grant and generally vests over periods of three to five years. All dividends paid on restricted stock, whether vested or unvested, are paid to the shareholder.

Information regarding our stock option plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is as follows:



	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share		Weighted Average Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Options outstanding, beginning of year	69,123		$	11.10
Options forfeited	(5,077	)	10.76
Options exercised	(14,304	)	$	10.92
Options outstanding, end of quarter	49,742		$	11.17	0.7	$	566,607

Option price range at end of quarter	$9.97 to $12.83
Option price of exercisable shares	$9.97 to $12.83

໿

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we expensed $9 thousand and $12 thousand, respectively, in stock-based compensation under stock option awards.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we expensed $27 thousand and $36 thousand, respectively, in stock-based compensation under stock option awards.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were 14,304 stock options exercised with an intrinsic value of $156 thousand.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were 5,077 stock options forfeited with an intrinsic value of $55 thousand to the stock options outstanding.

There were no options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Expected future expense relating to the unvested options outstanding as of September 30, 2019 is $22 thousand over a weighted average period of 0.7 years. Upon exercise of vested options, management expects to draw on common stock as the source of the shares.

The summary of changes in unvested restricted stock awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, is as follows:



	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested restricted stock, beginning of year	97,465		$	24.45
Granted	74,470		21.95
Forfeited	(17,584	)	24.44
Vested	(40,739	)	22.27
Unvested restricted stock, end of period	113,612		$	23.59

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we expensed $281 thousand and $212 thousand, respectively, in stock-based compensation under restricted stock awards.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we expensed $745 thousand and $531 thousand, respectively, in stock-based compensation under restricted stock awards.

At September 30, 2019, unrecognized compensation expense for unvested restricted stock was $2.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over an average period of 3.9 years.

NOTE 11 – GUARANTEES

We do not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally,

all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Generally, we hold collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. As of September 30, 2019, we had $1.8 million of outstanding letters of credit. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The amount of the liability as of September 30, 2019, for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of our 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 we could have realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated. The fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period ends, and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period end.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use a hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:


•	Level I - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.


•	Level II - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these asset and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.


•	Level III - Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

The following table summarizes the fair value of our financial instruments measured on a recurring basis by the above pricing observability levels as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

The following 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 our assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between our disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Securities: The fair value of securities, available for sale (carried at fair value) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level I), or matrix pricing (Level II), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level III). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate of market participants’ estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level III measurements. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) were used to support fair values of certain Level III investments.

Impaired Loans (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value): Fair value of impaired loans is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds, less estimated selling costs. These assets are included in Level III fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Derivatives (Carried at Fair Value): The fair value of the Company's derivatives is determined using discounted cash flow analysis using observable market-based inputs, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

Other Real Estate Owned (Carried at Fair Value):

Other Real Estate Owned is recorded at estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs when acquired, thus establishing a new cost basis. Fair value is generally based on independent appraisals. These appraisals include adjustments to comparable assets

based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience. When an asset is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over fair value, less estimated selling costs, a writedown is recorded through expense.

The fair values of our financial instruments at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, were as follows:

NOTE 13 – DERIVATIVES

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not record any hedge ineffectiveness.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

NOTE 14 – BORROWINGS

At September 30, 2019, the Bank had secured borrowing potential with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) for borrowings of up to $330.5 million and a $10.0 million line of credit at Atlantic Central Bankers Bank (“ACBB”). The borrowings at the FHLBNY are secured by a pledge of qualifying residential and commercial mortgage loans, having an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $330.5 million. At September 30, 2019, the Bank had the ability to borrow up to $156.1 million at FHLBNY and $10.0 million at ACBB.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $121.0 million and $175.3 million, respectively, in short term advances at the FHLBNY, having weighted average interest rates of 2.21% and 2.66%, respectively. These advances are priced at the federal funds rate plus a spread (generally between 20 and 30 basis points), re-price daily and mature within three months.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, the Company had $42.8 million and $44.6 million in long-term fixed rate advances.

NOTE 15 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”), which (i) creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope and (ii) revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain (loss) from the transfer of nonfinancial assets, such as securities and premises and equipment. The majority of the Company’s revenues come from interest income and other sources, including loans, leases, securities, and derivatives that are outside the scope of ASC 606. The Company’s services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within other income and are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies its obligation to the customer. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include deposit service charges on deposits, interchange income, and insurance contracts.

The Company, using a modified retrospective transition approach, determined that there will be no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as a result of adopting the new standard, nor will the standard have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements including the timing or amounts of revenue recognized.

All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized within other income. The following table presents the Company’s sources of other income for the three and nine ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Sources of revenue outside the scope of ASC 606 are noted as such.

A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 is as follows:

Service Fees on Deposit Accounts

The Company earns fees from deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed, which is when the Company fulfills the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance.

Interchange Income

The Company earns interchange fees from debit and credit card holder transactions conducted through various payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided by an outsource technology solution and are presented on a net basis.

Insurance commissions and fees

Commission revenues are recognized as of the effective date of the insurance policy or the date on which the policy premium is processed into our systems, whichever is later. Commission revenues related to installment billings are recognized on the latter of effective or invoiced date. Subsequent commission adjustments are recognized upon our receipt of notification from insurance companies concerning matters necessitating such adjustments. Profit-sharing contingent commissions are recognized when determinable, which is generally when such commissions are received from insurance companies, or when we receive formal notification of the amount of such payments.

Other

Other fees consist of revenues that are both in scope and out of scope of ASC 606. Other fee revenues in scope of ASC 606 are made up of wire transfer fees for deposit customers, other agency fee income for SB One Insurance Agency, and other deposit related fees. Revenues for such fees are recognized at the point the fee is incurred by the customer.

NOTE 16 – RIGHT OF USE ASSET AND LEASE LIABILITY

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC Update 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," using the modified retrospective method of applying the new standard at the adoption date. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard as the lessee. This permitted the carry forward of the conclusions on lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. Financial results for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 are presented under the new guidance (Topic 842), while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance (Topic 840).

As a lessee, the majority of the Company's operating lease portfolio consists of real estate leases for the Company's branches and office space. The operating leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 20 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for 5 years or more. ROU assets and lease liabilities are not recognized for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. The Company does not have any finance leases as the lessee.

Operating lease expense primarily represents fixed lease payments for operating leases recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term. Variable lease expense represents the payment of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance based on the Company's pro-rata share of such costs.

The following table presents the components of the Company’s lease costs for operating leases as the lessee, which is included in net occupancy expense on the consolidated statements of income (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30, 2019		Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

Operating lease expense	$	186	$	453
Short term lease expense	69		424
Total lease expense	$	255	$	877

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows (in thousands, except for weighted-averages):



Operating Leases	Classification	September 30, 2019
ROU assets	Other assets	$	4,734
Lease liabilities	Other liabilities	$	4,870
Weighted-average remaining lease term		9.2
Weighted-average discount rate		3.02		%

The discount rate used in determining the lease liability for each individual lease was the FHLB fixed advance rate which corresponded with the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 for leases that existed at adoption and as of the lease commencement or modification date for leases subsequently entered into.

Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases was as follows (in thousands):



	Nine months ended September 30, 2019
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities	$	459
ROU assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations	$	460

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

We are a community-oriented financial institution serving northern New Jersey, northeastern Pennsylvania, New York City, New York and Queens County, New York. While offering traditional community bank loan and deposit products and services, we obtain non-interest income through our insurance brokerage operations and the sale of non-deposit products.

We continue to focus on strengthening our core operating performance by improving our net interest income and margin by closely monitoring our yield on earning assets and adjusting the rates offered on deposit products. We have been focused on building for the future and strengthening our core operating results within our risk management framework.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Critical accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and procedures, and are particularly susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. For additional information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 AND 2018

Overview – For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company reported net income of $5.1 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share, an increase of 57.3%, as compared to net income of $3.3 million, or $0.42 per basic share and $0.41 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

The increase in net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was driven by a $3.7 million, or 33.6%, increase in net interest income attributable to loan and deposit growth and the merger with Enterprise, and a $585 thousand increase in non-interest income as compared to the same period last year. The increase in net income was partially offset by a $1.2 million, or 13.7%, increase in non-interest expense. The non-interest expense increase was mainly due to a $1.2 million, or 23.7%, increase in compensation mainly due to the Enterprise merger, net of realized cost savings, and to support the continued growth of the Company offset by a decrease in merger related expenses of $605 thousand.

Net Interest Income – Net interest income is the difference between interest and deferred fees earned on loans and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is directly affected by changes in volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that support those assets, as well as changing interest rates when differences exist in repricing dates of assets and liabilities.

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $3.5 million, or 31.5%, to $14.8 million for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in net interest income was largely due to a $440.4 million, or 32.5%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable, which increased $395.8 million, or 34.3%, led by organic growth and the December 2018 closing of the Enterprise merger. The net interest margin decreased 3 basis points to 3.26% for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, as a result of an increase in cost of funds of 44 basis points. The increase in the Company’s cost of funds was partially offset by an increase in yield on earning assets of 34 basis points driven by an increase in yields on loans receivable of 42 basis points.

Interest Income – Our total interest income, on a fully tax equivalent basis, increased $6.3 million, or 43.0%, to $20.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher average earning assets, which increased $440.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The average yield increased 34 basis points to 4.63% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 4.29% for the same period last year.

Our total interest income earned on loans receivable increased $6.1 million, or 47.1%, to $19.1 million for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in average balance of loans receivable of $395.8 million, or 34.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period last year. The average yield increased 42 basis points to 4.90% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 4.48% for the same period last year. The increases in average yield were largely driven by purchase accounting accretion resulting from the acquisitions of Community and Enterprise.

Our total interest income earned on securities, on a fully tax equivalent basis, increased $91 thousand, to $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 from $1.6 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in interest income earned on securities was mainly due to a 11.8% increase on the average balance. The average yield for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 decreased 18 basis points to 3.15% as compared to the same period in 2018.

Other interest-earning assets include federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits in other banks. Our interest earned on total other interest-earning assets increased $74 thousand to $97 thousand for the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the same period last year. The average balances in other interest-earning assets increased $22.2 million to $32.4 million in the third quarter of 2019 from $10.2 million during the third quarter a year earlier. The average yield for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 increased 30 basis points to 1.19% as compared to 0.89% in the same period in 2018 which was mainly driven by the deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank and Wilmington Trust.

Interest Expense – Our interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased $2.8 million, or 80.6%, to $6.2 million from $3.4 million for the same period in 2018. The increase was principally due to higher average balances in interest-bearing liabilities, which increased $369.8 million, or 35.0%, to $1.4 billion for the third quarter of 2019 from $1.1 billion for the same period in 2018. In addition the increase was due to a 44 basis points increase in the average rate to 1.72% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 1.28% for the same period last year.

Our interest expense on deposits increased $2.6 million, or 120.5%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was largely attributed to the increase in the average balance of total interest bearing deposits, which increased $371.0 million during the third quarter of 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The average rate increased 53 basis points to 1.53% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 1.00% for the same period last year.

Our interest expense on borrowed funds increased $156 thousand, or 16.5%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was largely attributed to an increase in the average rate of 38 basis points to 2.58% as compared to 2.20% in the same period in 2018. The increase was offset by a $1.2 million decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds during the third quarter of 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018.

Our interest expense on all of the Company's subordinated debt remained the same for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period last year.

Provision for Loan Losses – Provision for loan losses increased $315 thousand, or 98.1%, to $636 thousand for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to $321 thousand for the same period in 2018. The provision for loan losses reflects management’s judgment concerning the risks inherent in our existing loan portfolio and the size of the allowance necessary to absorb the risks, as well as the activity in the allowance during the periods. Management reviews the adequacy of its allowance on an ongoing basis and will provide additional provisions as management may deem necessary.

Non-Interest Income – Our non-interest income increased $585 thousand, or 23.2%, to $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The growth was largely due to an increase in insurance commissions and fees relating to SB One Insurance Agency of $297 thousand, or 19.4%, for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018.

Non-Interest Expense – Our non-interest expenses increased $1.2 million, or 13.7%, to $10.2 million for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in non-interest expenses occurred largely in salaries and employee benefits of $1.2 million, data processing of $290 thousand and expenses and write-downs related to foreclosed real estate of $152 thousand. The increase in non-interest expenses for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, was the result of the Company’s continued growth, inclusive of the Enterprise merger net of cost savings. The increase in expenses and write-downs related to foreclosed real estate was driven by a one-time charge for write-downs of $149 thousand on three properties. The aforementioned increases were partially offset by decreases in professional fees and FDIC assessment costs of $111 thousand and $45 thousand, respectively.

Income Taxes – Our income tax expense, which includes both federal and state tax expenses, increased $863 thousand, or 90.2%, to $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to the same period last year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was 26.1%, as compared to 22.6% for the third quarter of 2018.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 AND 2018

Overview – For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reported net income of $17.2 million, or $1.84 per basic and $1.83 diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of 127.4%, as compared to $7.6 million, or $0.97 per basic share and $0.96 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the net income growth was driven by an increase in net interest income of $11.4 million, or 34.7%, as compared to the same period last year, resulting from growth of $18.9 million in loan interest income which was attributable to organic loan growth and the merger with Enterprise. In addition, non-interest income increased $2.9 million, or 34.8%, from a $1.2 million increase in insurance commissions and fees as compared to the same period last year. The increase in net income was partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $754 thousand, or 2.5%.

Comparative Average Balances and Average Interest Rates – The following table presents, on a fully tax equivalent basis, a summary of our interest-earning assets and their average yields, and interest-bearing liabilities and their average costs for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $11.2 million, or 33.5%, to $44.6 million for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to $33.4 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in net interest income was largely due to a $446.1 million, or 34.2%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable, which increased $412.2 million, or 37.1% driven by organic growth and the Enterprise merger.

Interest Income – Our total interest income, on a fully tax equivalent basis, increased $20.0 million, or 47.6%, to $61.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher average earning assets, which increased $446.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The average yield increased 43 basis points to 4.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 4.29% for the same period last year.

Our total interest income earned on loans receivable increased $18.9 million, or 50.4%, to $56.4 million for the first nine months of 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in average balance of loans receivable of $412.2 million, or 37.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period last year. The average yield increased 44 basis points to 4.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 4.51% for the same period last year. The increases in average yield were largely driven by purchase accounting accretion resulting from the acquisitions of Community and Enterprise.

Our total interest income earned on securities, on a fully tax equivalent basis, increased $933 thousand, to $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $4.4 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in interest income earned on securities was mainly due to a 11.7% increase on the average balance. The average yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased 27 basis points to 3.43% as compared to the same period in 2018.

Other interest-earning assets include federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits in other banks. Our interest earned on total other interest-earning assets increased $142 thousand to $211 thousand for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the same period last year. The average balances in other interest-earning assets increased $12.1 million to $22.6 million in the first nine months of 2019 from $10.4 million during the first nine months a year earlier. The average yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased 37 basis points to 1.25% as compared to 0.88% in the same period in 2018 which was mainly driven by the deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank and Wilmington Trust.

Interest Expense – Our interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $8.8 million, or 102.7%, to $17.3 million from $8.5 million for the same period in 2018. The increase was principally due to higher average balances in interest-bearing liabilities, which increased $369.0 million, or 36.1%, to $1.4 billion for the first nine months of 2019 from $1.0 billion for the same period in 2018. In addition the increase was due to a 54 basis points increase in the average rate to 1.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 1.12% for the same period last year.

Our interest expense on deposits increased $7.8 million, or 148.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was largely attributed to the increase in the average balance of total interest bearing deposits, which increased $353.3 million during the first nine months of 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018.

Provision for Loan Losses – Provision for loan losses increased $756 thousand, or 61.6%, to 2.0 million for the first nine months of 2019, as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2018. The provision for loan losses reflects management’s judgment concerning the risks inherent in our existing loan portfolio and the size of the allowance necessary to absorb the risks, as well as the activity in the allowance during the periods. Management reviews the adequacy of its allowance on an ongoing basis and will provide additional provisions as management may deem necessary.

Non-Interest Income – Our non-interest income increased $2.9 million, or 34.8%, to $11.1 million for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the same period last year. The increase was principally due to $1.2 million increase in insurance commissions and fees relating to SB One Insurance Agency, and a $1.5 million increase in gains on sale of securities. The aforementioned increases were partially offset by a $292 thousand loss on the disposal of fixed assets relating to closing of the Company’s corporate center in Rockaway, NJ, and the sale of the Andover branch.

Non-Interest Expense – Our non-interest expenses increased $754 thousand, or 2.5%, to $30.9 million for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the same period last year.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 TO DECEMBER 31, 2018

Total Assets – At September 30, 2019, our total assets were $1.9 billion, an increase of $138.6 million, or 7.7%, as compared to total assets of $1.8 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in loans receivable of $88.8 million, or 6.0%, to $1.6 billion.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $21.3 million to $47.9 million at September 30, 2019, or 2.5% of total assets, from $26.7 million, or 1.5% of total assets, at December 31, 2018.

Securities Portfolio – At September 30, 2019, the securities portfolio, which includes available for sale and held to maturity securities, was $211.5 million, compared to $186.2 million at December 31, 2018. Available for sale securities were $207.1 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $182.1 million at December 31, 2018. The available for sale securities are held primarily for liquidity, interest rate risk management and profitability. Accordingly, our investment policy is to invest in securities with low credit risk, such as U.S. government agency obligations, state and political subdivision obligations and mortgage-backed securities. Held to maturity securities were $4.3 million at September 30, 2019 and $4.1 million at December 31, 2018.

Net unrealized gain in the available for sale securities portfolio was $3.7 million at September 30, 2019 as compared to a net unrealized loss of $1.6 million at December 31, 2018.

We conduct a regular assessment of our investment securities to determine whether any securities are OTTI. Further details of the composition of the securities portfolio and discussion of the results of the most recent OTTI assessment are in Note 3 – Securities to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The unrealized losses in our securities portfolio are mostly driven by changes in spreads and market interest rates. All of our securities in an unrealized loss position have been evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment as of September 30, 2019 and we do not consider any security OTTI. We evaluated the prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and the duration of the unrealized losses. In addition, we do not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell, any of our securities before recovery of their cost basis.

Other investments, which consisted primarily of FHLB stock, decreased $2.4 million to $9.4 million at September 30, 2019 as compared to $11.8 million at December 31, 2018. We also held $200 thousand in time deposits with other financial institutions at September 30, 2018 and at December 31, 2018.

Loans – The loan portfolio comprises our largest class of earning assets. Total loans receivable, net of unearned income, increased $88.8 million, or 6.0%, to $1.6 billion at September 30, 2019, as compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2018.

The following table summarizes the composition of our gross loan portfolio by type:

໿



(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Commercial and industrial loans	$	105,392	$	81,709
Construction	109,934		142,321
Commercial real estate	967,919		878,449
Residential real estate	379,566		370,955
Consumer and other	1,869		2,393
Total gross loans	$	1,564,680	$	1,475,827

Loan and Asset Quality – The ratio of non-performing assets (“NPAs”), which include non-accrual loans, loans 90 days past due and still accruing, troubled debt restructured loans currently performing in accordance with renegotiated terms and foreclosed real estate, to total assets decreased to 0.87% at September 30, 2019 as compared to 1.43% at December 31, 2018. The decrease in NPAs is mainly attributable to the payoff of two non-accrual commercial real estate loans totaling approximately $8.9 million. NPAs exclude $3.0 million of Purchased Credit-Impaired (“PCI”) loans acquired through the merger with Community Bank of Bergen County (“Community Bank”). NPAs decreased $8.9 million to $16.9 million at September 30, 2019, as compared to $25.8 million at December 31, 2018. Non-accrual loans, excluding $3.0 million of PCI loans, decreased $8.7 million, or 41.9%, to $12.0

million at September 30, 2019, as compared to $20.7 million at December 31, 2018. Loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $5.5 million at September 30, 2019, representing an increase of $1.7 million, or 45.8%, as compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 2018.

We continue to actively market our foreclosed real estate properties, the value of which decreased $549 thousand to $3.6 million at September 30, 2019 as compared to $4.1 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease in foreclosed real estate properties was largely attributable to the sale of six properties totaling $1.5 million which was partially offset by two new foreclosed properties valued at $1.1 million. At September 30, 2019, the Company’s foreclosed real estate properties had an average carrying value of approximately $400 thousand per property.

Management continues to monitor our asset quality and believes that the NPAs are adequately collateralized and anticipated material losses have been adequately reserved for in the allowance for loan losses. However, given the uncertainty of the current real estate market, additional provisions for losses may be deemed necessary in future periods. The following table provides information regarding risk elements in the loan portfolio at each of the periods presented:

໿



(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Non-accrual loans	$	12,019		$	20,704
Non-accrual loans to total loans	0.77		%	1.40		%
NPAs	$	16,858		$	25,759
NPAs to total assets	0.87		%	1.43		%
Allowance for loan losses as a % of non-accrual loans	81.12		%	42.38		%
Allowance for loan losses to total loans	0.62		%	0.60		%

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance, when based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Total impaired loans were $13.3 million and $20.7 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company also had PCI loans from the acquisition of Community with a carrying value of $3.0 million at September 30, 2019. Impaired loans include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection. Not all impaired loans and restructured loans are non-accrual, and therefore not all are considered non-performing loans. Restructured loans still accruing totaled $1.2 million and $906 thousand at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

We also continue to monitor our portfolio for potential problem loans. Potential problem loans are defined as loans which cause management to have serious concerns as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may cause the loan to be placed on non-accrual status. As of September 30, 2019, we had eight loans totaling $4.7 million that we deemed potential problem loans. Management is actively monitoring these loans.

Further detail of the credit quality of the loan portfolio is included in Note 5 – Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Quality of Financing Receivables to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses consists of general, allocated and unallocated components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical charge-off experience and expected losses derived from our internal risk rating process. The unallocated component covers the potential for other adjustments that may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

Management regularly assesses the appropriateness and adequacy of the loan loss reserve in relation to credit exposure associated with individual borrowers, overall trends in the loan portfolio and other relevant factors, and believes the reserve is reasonable and adequate for each of the periods presented.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses increased $975 thousand, or 11.1%, to $9.8 million, at September 30, 2019 as compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 2018. The Company’s outstanding credit mark recorded on the legacy Community and Enterprise

portfolios of $433.8 million totaled $6.8 million at September 30, 2019. The Company’s combined coverage of allowance for loan loss and credit mark on the legacy Community and Enterprise portfolios totaled $16.8 million, or 1.05% of the overall loan portfolio, at September 30, 2019. The Company recorded $2.0 million in provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Additionally, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $32 thousand in net recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans increased to 81.1% at September 30, 2019 from 43.5% at December 31, 2018.

The table below presents information regarding our provision and allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

໿



(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2019			September 30, 2018
Balance, beginning of period	$	8,775		$	7,335
Provision	1,983			1,227
Charge-offs	(1,208		)	(83		)
Recoveries	200			115
Balance, end of period	$	9,750		$	8,594

The table below presents details concerning the allocation of the allowance for loan losses to the various categories for each of the periods presented. The allocation is made for analytical purposes and it is not necessarily indicative of the categories in which future credit losses may occur. The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any category of loans.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) – Our BOLI carrying value amounted to $36.5 million at September 30, 2019 and $35.8 million at December 31, 2018. The increase of $697 thousand is largely due to net earnings on BOLI policies.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles – Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had recorded goodwill totaling $27.3 million. Our recorded goodwill includes the acquisition of Tri-State in 2001, the 2006 acquisition of deposits and the acquisitions of Community and Enterprise. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, goodwill is not amortized, but evaluated at least annually for impairment. Any impairment of goodwill results in a charge to income. We recorded a core deposit intangible of $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the Community and Enterprise acquisitions, respectively. For the period ended September 30, 2019, we amortized $305 thousand in core deposit intangible. We periodically assess whether events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of goodwill and intangible assets may be impaired. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its book value; therefore, no write-down of goodwill was required at September 30, 2019. The goodwill related to the insurance agency is not deductible for tax purposes.

Deposits – Our total deposits increased $172.9 million, or 12.8%, to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2019, from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2018. The growth in deposits was mostly due to an increase in interest bearing deposits of $157.0 million, or 14.4%, and an increase in non-interest bearing deposits of $15.9 million, or 6.1%, at September 30, 2019, as compared to December 31, 2018.

Borrowings – Our borrowings consist of short-term and long-term advances from the FHLB. The advances are secured under terms of a blanket collateral agreement by a pledge of qualifying mortgage loans. We had $163.8 million and $219.9 million in

borrowings at the FHLB, at a weighted average interest rate of 2.19% and 2.52% at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The long-term borrowings at September 30, 2019 consisted of $37.8 million of fixed rate advances and $5.0 million of advances with quarterly convertible puts that allow us to put the advance back to the FHLB quarterly after one year from issuance. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swap agreements related to four of its FHLB borrowings. Please refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources – Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

Subordinated Debentures – On June 28, 2007, Sussex Capital Trust II (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory business trust and our non-consolidated wholly owned subsidiary, issued $12.5 million of variable rate capital trust pass-through securities to investors. The Trust purchased $12.9 million of variable rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures from us. The debentures are the sole asset of the Trust. The terms of the junior subordinated debentures are the same as the terms of the capital securities. We have also fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of the Trust under the capital securities. The interest rate is based on the three-month LIBOR plus 144 basis points and adjusts quarterly. The rate at September 30, 2019 was 3.56%. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement related to the junior subordinated debentures where the Company pays a fixed rate of 3.10% and receives the three-month LIBOR plus 144 basis points. Please refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources – Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. The capital securities are currently redeemable by us at par in whole or in part. The capital securities must be redeemed upon final maturity of the subordinated debentures on September 15, 2037. The proceeds of these trust preferred securities, which have been contributed to the Bank, are included in the Bank’s capital ratio calculations and treated as Tier I capital. During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company completed the private placement of the subordinated notes. The subordinated notes have a maturity date of December 22, 2026 and bear interest at the rate of 5.75% per annum, payable quarterly, for the first five years of the term, and then at a variable rate that will reset quarterly to a level equal to the then current 3-month LIBOR plus 350 basis points over the remainder of the term.

In accordance with FASB ASC 810, Consolidations, our wholly owned subsidiary, the Trust, is not included in our consolidated financial statements.

Equity – Stockholders’ equity, inclusive of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income taxes, was $196.1 million at September 30, 2019, an increase of $10.6 million when compared to December 31, 2018. The Company completed the mergers with Community and Enterprise in 2018 which were the primary drivers of an increase in book value per common share of 7.0% from $19.45 at December 31, 2018 to $20.81 at September 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, the leverage, Tier I risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and common equity Tier I capital ratios for the Bank were 10.22%, 12.00%, 12.61% and 12.00%, respectively, all in excess of the ratios required to be deemed “well-capitalized.”

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

A fundamental component of our business strategy is to manage liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient resources to meet all financial obligations and to finance prospective business opportunities. Liquidity management is critical to our stability. Our liquidity position over any given period of time is a product of our operating, financing and investing activities. The extent of such activities is often shaped by such external factors as competition for deposits and loan demand.

Traditionally, financing for our loans and investments is derived primarily from deposits, along with interest and principal payments on loans and investments. At September 30, 2019, total deposits amounted to $1.5 billion, an increase of $172.9 million, or 12.8%, from December 31, 2018. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, borrowings from the FHLB and subordinated debentures totaled $191.7 million and $247.8 million, respectively, and represented 9.9% and 13.8% of total assets, respectively.

Loan production continued to be our principal investing activity. Total loans receivable, net of unearned income, at September 30, 2019, amounted to $1.5 billion, an increase of $88.8 million, or 6.0%, compared to December 31, 2018.

Our most liquid assets are cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. At September 30, 2019, the total of such assets amounted to $47.9 million, or 2.5%, of total assets, compared to $26.7 million, or 1.5% of total assets at December 31, 2018. Another significant liquidity source is our available for sale securities portfolio. At September 30, 2019, available for sale securities amounted to $207.1 million, compared to $182.1 million at December 31, 2018.

In addition to the aforementioned sources of liquidity, we have available various other sources of liquidity, including federal funds purchased from other banks and the FRB discount window. The Bank also has the capacity to borrow an additional $156.1 million through its membership in the FHLB and $10.0 million from ACBB at September 30, 2019. Management believes that our sources of funds are sufficient to meet our present funding requirements.

In July 2013, the FRB, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) and the FDIC approved final rules (the “Capital Rules”) that established a new capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The Capital Rules generally implement the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s (the “Basel Committee”) December 2010 final capital framework referred to as “Basel III” for strengthening international capital standards. In addition, the Capital Rules implement certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, including the requirements of Section 939A to remove references to credit ratings from the federal banking agencies’ rules.

At September 30, 2019, the Bank’s Tier I, Total and Common Equity Tier I (“CET1”) capital ratios were 12.00%, 12.61% and 12.00%, respectively. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, the Bank’s regulators require that banks which meet the regulators’ highest performance and operational standards maintain a minimum leverage ratio (Tier I capital as a percentage of tangible assets) of 4.0%. As of September 30, 2019, the Bank had a leverage ratio of 10.22%. The Bank’s risk based and leverage ratios are in excess of those required to be considered “well-capitalized” under FDIC regulations.

The Capital Rules also require a “capital conservation buffer,” composed entirely of CET1, on top of these minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the capital conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity and other capital instrument repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. Beginning January 1, 2016, the capital standards applicable to the Company include an additional capital conservation buffer of 0.625%, increasing 0.625% each year thereafter. The Company maintains an additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of CET1, effectively resulting in minimum ratios inclusive of the capital conservation buffer of (i) CET1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 7%, (ii) Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.5%, and (iii) total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10.5%. As of September 30, 2019, the Bank had a capital conservation buffer of 4.61%.

The Capital Rules substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries. The risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposures and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid, low-risk assets. The capital guidelines apply on a consolidated basis to bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $1 billion or more, and to certain bank holding companies with less than $1 billion in assets if they are engaged in substantial non-banking activity or meet certain other criteria.

We have no investment or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital resources, except for the trust preferred securities of the Trust. We are not aware of any known trends or any known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties, which would result in any material increase or decrease in liquidity. Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – Our consolidated financial statements do not reflect off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business. These off-balance sheet arrangements consist of unfunded loans and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. At September 30, 2019, these unused commitments totaled $315.1 million and consisted of $152.2 million in commitments to grant commercial real estate, construction and land development loans, $38.6 million in home equity lines of credit, $122.5 million in other unused commitments and $1.8 million in letters of credit. These instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to us. Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $38.5 million, of which all are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company entered into $26.0 million in forward starting interest rate swap agreements coinciding with the maturity of five FHLB advances over the next 21 months that had an average rate of 4.03%. The forward interest rate swaps have a term of 10 years at an average fixed rate of 1.97% and will hedge short term wholesale funding. Additionally, the Company entered into a $12.5 million interest rate swap agreement to coincide with a junior subordinated debt issued by Sussex Capital Trust II, for a term of 10 years at a fixed rate of 3.10%.

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $40 million, of which all are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company entered into $20.0 million in two different forward starting interest rate swap agreements coinciding with the maturity of two FHLB advances over 36 and 48 months both beginning on September 15, 2018. The forward interest rate swap with a 3 year term has a fixed rate of 2.89% and the forward interest rate swap with a 4 year term has a fixed rate of 2.90%.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $35 million, of which all are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company entered into $17.5 million in two different forward starting

interest rate swap agreements coinciding with the maturity of two FHLB advances over 36 and 48 months both beginning on September 15, 2018. The forward interest rate swap with a 3 year term has a fixed rate of 2.85% and the forward interest rate swap with a 4 year term has a fixed rate of 2.86%.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount totaling $40 million, designated as a cash flow hedge. The Company entered into a $40 million brokered CD. The forward interest rate swap with a 3 year term has a fixed rate of 2.56%.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company entered into five forward starting interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount totaling $85 million, designated as a cash flow hedge of variable cash flows, one associated with a $20 million with a one month LIBOR (IND Promontory) or similar funding, with a 3 year term and a fixed rate of 1.87%, one associated with a $25 million brokered CD, with a 3 year term and a fixed rate of 2.21%, one associated with a $20 million brokered CD, with a 3 year term and a fixed rate of 2.13%, one associated with a $10 million one month LIBOR (IND Promontory) or similar funding, with a 4 year term and a fixed rate of 1.59%, and one associated with a $10 million one month LIBOR (IND Promontory) or similar funding, with a 5 year term and a fixed rate of 1.62%.
