Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”, “us”, “our”, or “we”) and Lake Shore Savings Bank (the “Bank”), its wholly owned subsidiary.  All intercompany accounts and transactions of the consolidated subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein as of March 31,2021 and for the three months ended March 31,2021 and 2020 have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and therefore, do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of such information and to make the financial statements not misleading.  These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.  The consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31,2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent period or the entire year ending December 31, 2021.

To prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management of the Company made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the reporting of revenue and expenses.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, securities valuation estimates, evaluation of impairment of securities and income taxes.

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the statement of financial condition as of March 31,2021 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.  The evaluation was conducted through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

Note 2 – New Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards to be Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326):  Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”).  ASU 2016-13 requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured using an expected credit loss model (referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model).  Under the CECL model entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications unless reasonable expectation of a troubled debt restructuring exists) from the date of initial recognition of that instrument.  Further, ASU 2016-13 made certain targeted amendments to the existing impairment standards for available for sale (“AFS”) debt securities. For an AFS debt security for which there is neither the intent nor a more-likely-than-not requirement to sell, an entity will record credit losses as an allowance rather than a write-down of the amortized cost basis.  An entity will apply the amendments in ASU 2016-13 through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. 

6

The Company has determined its data requirements and is developing its methodologies for calculating the expected credit losses under ASU 2016-13 which has allowed the Company to run parallel loss reserve calculations. Data integrity associated with these methodologies is being reviewed and enhancements to the current process are being considered.  We expect that the new guidance will result in an increase to the allowance for loan losses given that the allowance will be required to cover the full remaining expected life of the portfolio, rather than the incurred loss under the current accounting standard.  The extent of this increase is still being evaluated.  We are also reviewing the impact of additional disclosures required under ASU 2016-13 on our ongoing financial reporting procedures.

ASU 2016-13 was originally effective for the Company in 2020. In November 2019, the FASB issued guidance to defer the effective date for smaller reporting companies such as the Company until January 1, 2023.

Note 3 – COVID-19

During the first quarter of 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was originally identified in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of countries around the world, including the United States. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic.  The direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 and its associated impacts on business activities, retail, travel, productivity and other economic activities have had, are currently having and may for some time continue to have a destabilizing effect on financial markets and economic activity.  As a result, Federal and State, including New York State, governments have passed legislation to counteract the economic impact of the pandemic.  The legislation had a direct impact on the banking industry and our financial operations, as described in Note 3 of the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.  The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”), in addition to providing financial assistance to both businesses and consumers, created a forbearance program for federally-backed mortgage loans and protected borrowers from negative credit reporting due to loan accommodations related to the national emergency. This legislation allowed the Company to provide loan payment deferrals to those borrowers that had incurred a significant economic impact as a result of the pandemic and allowed the Company to provide this relief without accounting for such loans as past due or as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR)".New York State has also passed legislation which prevents residential evictions, foreclosure proceedings, tax lien sales or foreclosures, credit discrimination and negative credit reporting related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These moratoriums were originally going to last until May 1, 2021, but were extended until August 31, 2021 by New York State legislation that was signed into state law on May 4, 2021.

The Company implemented a loan modification program at the onset of the pandemic in the 2nd quarter of 2020 for impacted customers, in line with regulatory guidance, allowing customers to defer loan payments.  The majority of loan deferrals were granted for deferral of principal and interest payments for 90 days, and up to 180 days in some instances, with the loan repayment period extended by the deferral period.  The requests were evaluated individually and approved modifications were based on the unique circumstances of each borrower. At its maximum, the Company approved loan payment deferral requests of up to 90 days on 219 loans, representing $103.1 million, or 21.1% of the Bank’s loan portfolio. The number of loan payment deferral requests has decreased significantly and as of March 31, 2021, three borrowers representing five loans and $15.5 million, or 2.9% of the Bank’s loan portfolio, remained in the loan deferral program, as indicated below:

Loan Type	Number of Loans		Balance Outstanding	Weighted Average Interest Rate
Commercial real estate	3	$	13,965	4.51	%
Commercial business	2		1,541	5.15
	5	$	15,506	4.57	%

7

These loans were current at the time of modification and were not considered troubled debt restructurings based on the regulatory guidance and we have not accounted for the loans as TDRs, nor have we designated the loans as past due or non-accrual. At this time management has not downgraded its classification of the remaining five loans in the loan deferral program due to the quality of knowledge that our loan officers have obtained from their discussions with the borrowers and due to the strength of the collateral and guarantors.  Management continues to carefully monitor those borrowers who remain on payment deferral for additional signs of distress that would result in a downgrade in loan classification.

The Company originated 86 commercial loans representing $30.7 million under the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) during 2020 to assist business customers who suffered from the economic impact of the pandemic. On December 27, 2020, President Trump signed another COVID-19 relief bill that extended and modified several provisions of the PPP.  The SBA reactivated the PPP on January 11, 2021.  The Bank is originating additional PPP loans from this modified program, which will currently extend until May 31, 2021.  In the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Bank had originated and received SBA approval on 29 PPP loans totaling $9.7 million and received $158,000 in related net deferred PPP fees under the 2021 PPP authorization.  Upon funding the loans, the net fees were deferred and will be amortized over the life of the loans as an adjustment to yield.  As of March 31, 2021, 18 PPP loans totaling $5.1 million had been forgiven by the SBA.  It is expected that most customers that received a PPP loan in 2020 will apply and receive PPP loan forgiveness during the next nine months, upon which any unamortized deferred fees will be recognized as an adjustment to interest income.  During the three months ended March 31, 2021, a total of $81,000 in net PPP fees had been recognized by the Bank including fees recognized upon forgiveness and continuing amortization of fees from the 2020 and 2021 PPP originations.  At March 31, 2021, there were $23.0 million in PPP loans outstanding and recorded as commercial business loans. PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and are not considered when determining the allowance for loan losses. In addition, these loans are classified as pass and are reported as current when determining payment status.

The Company continues to evaluate the disruption caused by the pandemic and the impact of the federal and state regulations that have been enacted due to the pandemic, as these events may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s future results, operations, financial position, capital and liquidity.  At this time the Company cannot quantify the potential impact of the pandemic on future operations.

Debt Securities

All of our collateralized mortgage obligations are backed by one- to four-family residential mortgages.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, thirty-one municipal bonds with a cost of $10.8 million and fair value of $11.2 million were pledged under a collateral agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) of New York for liquidity borrowing. In addition, at March 31, 2021 twenty municipal bonds with a cost of $6.0 million and fair value of $6.2 million were pledged as collateral for customer deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. At December 31, 2020, sixteen municipal bonds with a cost of $4.2 million and fair value of $4.4 million were pledged as collateral for customer deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limits.

The Company reviews all investment securities on an ongoing basis for the presence of other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) with formal reviews performed quarterly.   

At March 31, 2021, the Company’s investment portfolio included thirty-threesecurities in the “unrealized losses less than twelve months” category and one security in the “unrealized losses twelve months or more” category. Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities until maturity. Management believes the temporary impairments were due to declines in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates and/or increased credit liquidity spreads since the securities were purchased. The unrealized losses on debt securities shown in the previous tables were recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

The following table presents a summary of the credit-related OTTI charges recognized as components of income:

	For The Three Months Ended March 31,

A deterioration in credit quality and/or other factors that may limit the liquidity of a security in our portfolio might adversely affect the fair values of the Company’s investment portfolio and may increase the potential that certain unrealized losses will be designated as “other-than-temporary” and that the Company may incur additional write-downs in future periods.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not sell any debt securities.

Equity Securities

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, equity securities consisted of 22,368 shares of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $6,000 and $36,000, respectively, on the equity securities, which was recorded in non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income. There were no sales of equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Note 5 - Allowance for Loan Losses

Management segregates the loan portfolio into loan types and analyzes the risk level for each loan type when determining its allowance for loan losses.  The loan types are as follows:

Real Estate Loans:

· One- to Four-Family – are loans secured by first lien collateral on residential real estate primarily held in the Western New York region.  These loans can be affected by economic conditions and the value of underlying properties.  Western New York’s housing market has consistently demonstrated stability in home prices despite economic conditions. Furthermore, the Company has conservative underwriting standards and its residential lending policies and procedures ensure that its one- to four-family residential mortgage loans generally conform to secondary market guidelines.  

· Home Equity - are loans or lines of credit secured by first or second liens on owner-occupied residential real estate primarily held in the Western New York region.  These loans can also be affected by economic conditions and the values of underlying properties. Home equity loans may have increased risk of loss if the Company does not hold the first mortgage resulting in the Company being in a secondary position in the event of collateral liquidation.  The Company does not originate interest only home equity loans.        

· Commercial Real Estate – are loans used to finance the purchase of real property, which generally consists of developed real estate that is held as first lien collateral for the loan.  These loans are secured by real estate properties that are primarily held in the Western New York region.  Commercial real estate lending involves additional risks compared with one- to four-family residential lending, because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, and/or the collateral value of the commercial real estate securing the loan, and repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or economic conditions to a greater extent than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans.  Also, commercial real estate loans typically involve relatively large loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers.

· Construction – are loans to finance the construction of either one- to four-family owner occupied homes or commercial real estate.  At the end of the construction period, the loan automatically converts to either a one- to four-family or commercial mortgage, as applicable.  Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property 12

at completion compared to the actual cost of construction. The Company limits its risk during construction as disbursements are not made until the required work for each advance has been completed and an updated lien search is performed.  The completion of the construction progress is verified by a Company loan officer or inspections performed by an independent appraisal firm.  Construction loans also expose us to the risk of construction delays which may impair the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. 

Other Loans:

· Commercial – includes business installment loans, lines of credit, and other commercial loans.  Most of our commercial loans have fixed interest rates, and are for terms generally not in excess of 5 years.  Whenever possible, we collateralize these loans with a lien on business assets and equipment and require the personal guarantees from principals of the borrower.  Commercial loans generally involve a higher degree of credit risk, as commercial loans can involve relatively large loan balances to a single borrower or groups of related borrowers, with the repayment of such loans typically dependent on the successful operation of the commercial business and the income stream of the borrower.  Such risks can be significantly affected by economic conditions.  Although commercial loans may be collateralized by equipment or other business assets, the liquidation of collateral in the event of a borrower default may be an insufficient source of repayment because the equipment or other business assets may be obsolete or of limited use, among other things. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial loan depends primarily on the credit worthiness of the borrowers (and any guarantors), while liquidation of collateral is a secondary and often insufficient source of repayment. 

· Consumer – consist of loans secured by collateral such as an automobile or a deposit account, unsecured loans and lines of credit.  Consumer loans tend to have a higher credit risk due to the loans being either unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciable assets.  Furthermore, consumer loan payments are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and therefore are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account that reflects the Company’s evaluation of the losses inherent in its loan portfolio. In order to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company estimates losses by loan type using historical loss factors, as well as other environmental factors, such as trends in loan volume and loan type, loan concentrations, changes in the experience, ability and depth of the Company’s lending management, and national and local economic conditions. The Company's determination as to the classification of loans and the amount of loss allowances are subject to review by bank regulators, which can require the establishment of additional loss allowances.

The Company also reviews all loans on which the collectability of principal may not be reasonably assured, by reviewing payment status, financial conditions and estimated value of loan collateral. These loans are assigned an internal loan grade, and the Company assigns an amount of loss allowances to these classified loans based on loan grade.

Although the allocations noted below are by loan type, the allowance for loan losses is general in nature and is available to offset losses from any loan in the Company’s portfolio. The unallocated component of the allowance for loan losses reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for existing specific and general losses in the portfolio.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial real estate loans and commercial loans. Larger groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer, home equity, or one- to four-family loans for impairment disclosure, unless they are subject to a troubled debt restructuring.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. A loan does not have to be 90 days delinquent in order to be classified as non-accrual. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. If ultimate collection of principal is in doubt, all cash receipts on impaired loans are applied to reduce the principal balance.

The Company’s policies provide for the classification of loans as follows:

· Pass/Performing;

· Special Mention – does not currently expose the Company to a sufficient degree of risk but does possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving the Company’s close attention;

· Substandard – has one or more well-defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. A substandard asset would be one inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or pledged collateral, if applicable;

· Doubtful – has all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss; and

· Loss – loan is considered uncollectible and continuance without the establishment of a specific valuation reserve is not warranted.

The Company’s Asset Classification Committee is responsible for monitoring risk ratings and making changes as deemed appropriate.  Each commercial loan is individually assigned a loan classification.  The Company’s consumer loans, including residential one- to four-family loans and home equity loans, are not classified as described above.  Instead, the Company uses the delinquency status as the basis for classifying these loans.  Generally, all consumer loans more than 90 days past due are classified and placed in non-accrual. Such loans that are well-secured and in the process of collection will remain in accrual status.

(3) The Pass/Performing category for Commercial Loans includes $23.0 million and $18.1 million of PPP loans at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which do not require payments for a certain amount of time under the CARES Act and are 100% guaranteed by SBA.

TDRs occur when we grant borrowers concessions that we would not otherwise grant but for economic or legal reasons pertaining to the borrower’s financial difficulties. A concession is made when the terms of the loan modification are more favorable than the terms the borrower would have received in the current market under similar financial difficulties. These concessions may include, but are not limited to, modifications of the terms of the debt, the transfer of assets or the issuance of an equity interest by the borrower to satisfy all or part of the debt, or the addition of borrower(s). The Company identifies loans for potential TDRs primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports.  Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future. Generally, we will not return a TDR to accrual status until the borrower has demonstrated the ability to make principal and interest payments under the restructured terms for at least six consecutive months. The Company’s TDRs are impaired loans, which may result in specific allocations and subsequent charge-offs if appropriate.

Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in full collection of principal and interest, as modified, which may result in potential losses.  These potential losses have been factored into our overall estimate of the allowance for loan losses.

Foreclosed real estate consists of property acquired in settlement of loans which is carried at its fair value less estimated selling costs. Write-downs from cost to fair value less estimated selling costs are recorded at the date of acquisition or repossession and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Foreclosed real estate was $51,000 and $58,000 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and was included as a component of other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The recorded investment of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction was $1.9 million and $1.8 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Note 6 – Earnings per Share

Earnings per share was calculated for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, exclusive of unearned shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “ESOP”), by the Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”), and by the Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”). Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average

number of common shares outstanding and common share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of dilutive securities. Stock options are regarded as potential common stock and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent they would be dilutive and computed using the treasury stock method.

The calculated basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

	2021		2020
Numerator – net income	$	1,688,000	$	731,000

⁽¹⁾ Stock options to purchase 64,547 shares under the Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan and 20,000 shares under the EIP at $14.38per share were outstanding during the three month period ended March 31, 2020, but were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 7 – Commitments to Extend Credit

The Company has commitments to extend credit with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.  There were no loss reserves associated with these commitments at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

The following commitments to extend credit were outstanding as of the dates specified:

	Contract Amount
	March 31,		December 31,
	2021		2020
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commitments to grant loans	$	42,823	$	47,065
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit		69,750		66,134

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral

20

obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Note 8 – Stock-based Compensation

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had four stock-based compensation plans, which are described below. The compensation cost that has been recorded under salary and benefits expense in the non-interest expense section of the consolidated statements of income for these plans was $71,000 and $68,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.                    

2006 Stock Option Plan

The Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders, permitted the grant of options to its employees and non-employee directors for up to 297,562 shares of common stock. The Stock Option Plan expired on October 24, 2016, and grants of options can no longer be awarded.

Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options have been granted under the Stock Option Plan. The exercise price of each stock option equals the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and an option’s maximum term is ten years. The stock options generally vest over a five year period.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”)

The Company established the ESOP for the benefit of eligible employees of the Company and Bank. All Company and Bank employees meeting certain age and service requirements are eligible to participate in the ESOP. Participants’ benefits become fully vested after five years of service once the employee is eligible to participate in the ESOP. The Company utilized $2.6 million of the proceeds of its 2006 stock offering to extend a loan to the ESOP and the ESOP used such proceeds to purchase 238,050 shares of stock on the open market at an average price of $10.70 per share, plus commission expenses. As a result of the purchase of shares by the ESOP, total stockholders’ equity of the Company was reduced by $2.6 million. As of March 31, 2021, the balance of the loan to the ESOP was $1.5 million and the fair value of unallocated shares was $1.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, there were 81,719 allocated shares and 119,024 unallocated shares compared to 78,238 allocated shares and 126,960 unallocated shares at March 31, 2020. The ESOP compensation expense was $29,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $28,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 based on 1,984 shares earned in each of those quarters.   

Note 9 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique.  Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated.  The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates.  The estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported here.

GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities measurements (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable input measurements (Level 3).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

23

Level 2:  Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition contain investment securities and derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  For financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:

	Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2021

⁽¹⁾ Included in Other Liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition

Level 2 inputs for assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment projections, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

· Investment securities– the fair values are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1) or matrix pricing (Level 2), 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. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution date, market consensus prepayment projections, credit information and the security’ terms and conditions, among other things.  Level 2 securities which are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets, are valued using prices obtained from our custodian, who use third party data service providers.

25

· Interest Rate Swap – the fair value is based on a discounted cash flow model.  The model’s key assumptions include the contractual term of the derivative contract, including the period to maturity, and the use of observable market based inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves, nonperformance risk and implied volatility.

In addition to disclosure of the fair value of assets on a recurring basis, GAAP requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as impaired assets and foreclosed real estate. Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of these loans. Non-recurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated when establishing the allowance for loan losses. An impaired loan is carried at fair value based on either a recent appraisal less estimated selling costs of underlying collateral or discounted cash flows based on current market conditions.

For assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:

	Fair Value Measurements
			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs
	Fair Value		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

Foreclosed real estate	$	51	$	-	$	-	$	51
At December 31, 2020
Foreclosed real estate	$	58	$	-	$	-	$	58

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:

	Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
(Dollars in thousands)	Fair Value Estimate		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range	Weighted Average
At March 31, 2021
Foreclosed real estate	$	51	Market valuation of property (1)	Direct Disposal Costs (2)	7.00%	7.00%
At December 31, 2020
Foreclosed real estate	$	58	Market valuation of property (1)	Direct Disposal Costs (2)	7.00%	7.00%

⁽¹⁾ Fair value is generally determined through independent third-party appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally includes various Level 3 inputs which are not observable.

⁽²⁾ The fair value basis of foreclosed real estate may be adjusted to reflect management estimates of disposal costs including, but not necessarily limited to, real estate brokerage commissions, legal fees, and delinquent property taxes.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, foreclosed real estate valued using Level 3 inputs had a carrying amount of $67,000. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, foreclosed real estate valued using Level 3 inputs had valuation allowances of $16,000 and $9,000, respectively.

Any and all of our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in any other public statements we make may differ from actual outcomes.  They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or known or unknown risks and uncertainties.  Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 

Overview

The following discussion and analysis is presented to assist in the understanding and evaluation of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.  It is intended to complement the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction therewith.  The detailed discussion focuses on our consolidated financial condition as of March 31,2021 compared to the consolidated financial condition as of December 31, 2020 and the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31,2021 and 2020.

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income we earn on loans and investments and the interest expense we pay on deposits, borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income is affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates we earn or pay on these balances.  

Our operations are also affected by non-interest income, such as service charges and fees and gains and losses on the sales of securities and loans, our provision for loan losses and non-interest expenses which include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, data processing, professional services, advertising and other general and administrative expenses. 

Financial institutions like us, in general, are significantly affected by economic conditions, competition, and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government.  Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing and commercial real estate, competition among lenders, interest rate conditions, and funds availability.  Our operations and lending are principally concentrated in the Western New York area, and our operations and earnings are influenced by local economic conditions.  Deposit balances and cost of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates on competing investments, customer preferences, and levels of personal income and savings in our primary market area. Operations are also significantly impacted by government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may materially impact the Company.  

To operate successfully, we must manage various types of risk, including but not limited to, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, operational and information technology risks, strategic risk, reputation risk and compliance risk. A significant form of market risk for the Company is interest rate risk, as the Company’s assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates.  Interest rate risk is the exposure of our net interest income to adverse movements in interest rates. Net interest income is our primary source of revenue and interest rate risk is a significant non-credit related risk to which our Company is exposed. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates as well as fluctuations in the level and duration of our assets and liabilities. In addition to directly impacting net interest income, changes in interest rates can also affect the amount of new loan originations, the ability of borrowers and debt issuers to repay loans and debt securities, the volume of loan repayments and refinancing, the flow and mix of deposits and the fair value of securities.  In recent years, the Company has adjusted its strategies to manage interest rate risk by originating a greater volume of shorter-term, adjustable rate commercial real estate and commercial business loans and increasing its concentration of core deposits, which are less interest rate sensitive. In the third quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2020, the Company entered into interest rate swap arrangements with a total notional amount of $6.0 million to convert portions of its interest earning assets into fixed or adjustable rate interest-earning assets, as applicable, to manage its exposure to movements in interest rates.

Credit risk is the risk to our earnings and stockholders’ equity that results from customers, to whom loans have been made, and from issuers of debt securities in which the Company has invested, failing to repay their obligations. The magnitude of this risk depends on the capacity and willingness of borrowers and debt issuers to repay and the sufficiency of the value of collateral obtained to secure the loans made or investments purchased.  This risk is managed by policies approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, review of compliance with the policies and periodic reporting and evaluation of loans or securities that are non-performing or demonstrate other characteristics of potential loss.

RECENT MARKET CONDITIONS, RELATED RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

During the first quarter of 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was originally identified in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of countries around the world, including the United States. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic.  In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government, the New York State governor and state agencies, along with national, state and local health agencies have taken and continue to take actions designed to mitigate the effect of the virus on public health and to address the economic impact from the virus.  The Federal Reserve reduced the overnight federal funds rate by 150 basis points in March 2020 and announced the resumption of quantitative easing.  Congress passed a number of measures in late March 2020, designed to infuse cash into the economy to offset the negative impacts of business closings and restrictions. 

The Company quickly responded to the changing environment at the onset of the pandemic by successfully executing its business continuity plan, including implementing work from home arrangements and limiting branch activities.  Once the branches received the tools and services necessary to implement appropriate social distancing protocols and enhanced cleaning services, in-person customer service activities resumed.  As of March 31, 2021, all branches were fully open with adherence to health and safety requirements, including, among other things, face mask requirements and social distancing measures.

The direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 and its associated impacts on business activities, retail, restaurants and bars, travel, productivity and other activities have had, are currently having and may for some time continue to impact financial markets and economic activity.  The extent of the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance remains uncertain, cannot be predicted and will depend on certain developments, including, among others, the effectiveness of vaccination and achievement of herd immunity, the ability to sustainably limit the spread of COVID-19 and/or its variants, improvement in employment rates and the recovery of economic activity in our market areas as pandemic restrictions are relaxed. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, specifically Part I. Item 1. Business and Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors, for additional details on the related risks and the impact of the pandemic, along with a description of Company’s actions taken to address the pandemic during 2020, which includes the origination of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans under a program authorized by the Small Business Administration and a loan modification program in line with regulatory guidance which allowedimpacted customers to defer loan payments.

In light of the uncertain economic outlook as a result of COVID-19, as well as other factors, the 10-year Treasury yield has fallen to historic lows, and the equity markets have been and remain volatile. The Federal Reserve’s actions and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact our interest income and, therefore, our earnings, financial condition and results of operations.  As a result of the spread of COVID-19, economic uncertainties have arisen which are likely to negatively impact our provision for loan losses.  As restrictions on foreclosure activity are lifted, the Company may incur potential losses and increased expenses to restart collection activities on past due loans.  Other financial impacts could occur though such potential impact is unknown at this time. Refer to Note 3 – COVID 19 elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for a description of actions taken by the Company to assist borrowers that have been impacted by the pandemic.

As of March 31, 2021, the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of all regulatory requirements.  While management believes we have sufficient capital to withstand potential losses that may occur as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit losses.  The Company maintains access to multiple sources of liquidity which could be used to support capital ratios. 

Management Strategy

There have been no material changes in the Company’s management strategy from what was disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies

Disclosure of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Some of these policies require significant judgment, estimates and assumptions to be made by management, most particularly in connection with determining the provision for loan losses and the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, as well as management’s evaluation of securities valuation, impairment of securities and income taxes. There have been no material changes in critical accounting policies since December 31, 2020.  

Analysis of Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the difference between the interest we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as commercial and residential mortgage loans and investment securities, and the expense we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Net interest income depends on both the volume of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates we earn or pay on them.

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields. The following table sets forth certain information relating to our average balance sheets and reflects the average yield on interest-earning assets and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, interest earned and interest paid for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from daily balances over the periods indicated. The average balances for loans are net of allowance for loan losses, but include non-accrual loans. The loan yields include net amortization of certain deferred fees and costs that are considered adjustments to yields. Interest income on securities does not include a tax equivalent adjustment for tax exempt securities.

Rate Volume Analysis.  The following table analyzes the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  The table shows the amount of the change in interest income or expense caused by either changes in outstanding balances (volume) or changes in interest rates.  The effect of a change in volume is measured by applying the average rate during the first period to the volume change between the two periods.  The effect of changes in rate is measured by applying the change in rate between the two periods to the average volume during the first period. Changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the absolute value of the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

\

As shown in the above table, the increase in net interest income for first quarter 2021 was primarily impacted by a decrease in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities that was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on interest earning assets.  The impact was primarily driven by a decrease in market interest rates when compared to the prior year period.  The decrease in the average yield on interest earning assets was partially offset by an increase in the volume of loans.  The average balance of the loan portfolio increased $68.8 million, or 12.0%, during the 2021 first quarter as compared to the prior year quarter.  The increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio was primarily due to an increase in the average balances of commercial real estate, commercial construction and PPP loans. Net interest margin decreased 13 basis points to 3.29% for the first quarter 2021 as compared to first quarter 2020. The net interest margin for the 2021 first quarter was primarily impacted by a 61 basis points decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets when compared to the prior year period primarily due to a decrease in market interest rates. The decrease in net interest margin was partially offset by a decrease in the average interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities which decreased from 1.20% during first quarter 2020 to 0.63% during first quarter 2021 due to a decrease in market interest rates. The decrease in the average interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was partially offset by a $37.4 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2020.  The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits was primarily driven by organic growth, the deposit of PPP loan proceeds and government stimulus funds and the impact of COVID-19 on consumer and business spending and savings levels.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31,  2021 and December 31, 2020

Total assets at March 31, 2021 were $705.7 million, an increase of $19.5 million, or 2.8%, from $686.2 million at December 31, 2020.  The increase in total assets was primarily due to a $14.0 million increase in loans receivable, net and a $9.0 million increase in cash and cash equivalents driven by deposit growth, partially offset by a $3.9 million decrease in securities.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $9.0 million, or 20.9%, from $43.0 million at December 31, 2020 to $52.0 million at March 31, 2021.  The increase was primarily due to a $22.3 million increase in deposits and a $2.9 million net cash inflow related to net pay-downs of securities, partially offset by a $14.0 million net cash outflow relating to net loan originations and principal collections and a $1.5 million net cash outflow to pay down long-term debt.

34

Securities decreased by $3.9 million, or 4.9%, from $79.3 million at December 31, 2020 to $75.4 million at March 31, 2021.  The decrease was primarily due to security paydowns as a result of maturities, calls and prepayments, along with a decrease in unrealized mark to market gains during the three months ended March 31, 2021, which was partially offset by the purchase of securities.

Net loans receivable increased during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as shown in the table below:

Loans receivable, net	$	538,184	$	524,143	$	14,041	2.7	%

(1) Includes one- to four-family construction loans.

The $14.0 million, or 2.7%, increase in loans receivable, net was primarily due to increases in commercial real estate, commercial construction, commercial business (primarily PPP loan originations) and residential, one- to four-family loans.  The outstanding balance of PPP loans was $23.0 million at March 31, 2021.  During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we remained strategically focused on originating shorter duration, adjustable rate commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans to diversify our asset mix and to properly manage interest rate risk.  The origination of the SBA guaranteed PPP loans during the first quarter 2021, under the newly modified program that was approved during December 2020, provided additional interest rate risk protection and shortened the duration of our loan portfolio.

Total deposits	$	582,560	$	560,259	$	22,301	4.0	%

The increase in total deposits was primarily due to an overall increase in net core deposits, partially offset by a decrease in time deposits. A majority of the growth in core deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to organic growth andthe deposit of PPP funds and government stimulus payments into our customers’ deposit accounts. The Company’s strategic focus continues to be centered on organic growth of low-cost core deposits among its retail and commercial customers in an effort to manage interest expense and strengthen customer relationships.

Long-term debt consisting of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”), decreased by $1.5 million, or 5.0%, from $29.8 million at December 31, 2020 to $28.3 million at March 31, 2021. The decrease was due to the Company paying off maturing debt with excess cash on hand.

Total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $86.0 million and $85.9 million, respectfully.  Stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2021 reflected first quarter 2021 net income of $1.7 million, which was nearly offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, an increase in treasury stock and by dividends paid during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31,2021 and 2020

General.Net income was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, or $0.29 per diluted share, an increase of $1.0 million, or 130.9%, compared to net income of $731,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2020.  Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflected a $374,000 increase in net interest income, a $365,000 increase in non-interest income and a $350,000 decrease in provision for loans losses which was partially offset by a $177,000 increase in income tax expense when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.  

Interest Income.  Interest income decreased by $234,000, or 3.7%, to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily due to a decrease in market interest rates since March 31, 2020. Loan interest income decreased by $97,000, or 1.7%, to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to a decrease in the average yield on the loan portfolio. The average yield decreased by 61 basis points from 4.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 4.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in the average yield on loans was due to a decrease in market interest rates since March 31, 2020.  It was also due to the portfolio of PPP loans, which have an interest rate of 1.00% as per the SBA guidelines.  The net yield on the PPP loans, when including the deferred origination fee income and cost, averaged 2.00%, which is well below traditional loan yields. The decrease in loan interest income was partially offset by an increase in the  average balance of the

38

loan portfolio by $58.6 million, or 12.4%, from $472.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $530.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in the average balance of loans was primarily due to increases in the average balance of commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial business loans.

Investment interest income decreased $77,000, or 14.0%, to $474,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, due to a 62 basis points decrease in the average yield of the investment portfolio.  The average yield was 3.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to 2.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in the average yield was due to a decrease in market interest rates since March 31, 2020 and purchases of new securities at lower interest rates.   The average balance of the investment portfolio increased from $73.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $79.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to securities purchases which largely consisted of municipal bond purchases, partially offset by securities paydowns and redemptions of “callable” municipal bonds.  

Other interest income decreased by $60,000, or 90.9%, to $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The average yield decreased 88 basis points to 0.08% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 0.96% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, while the average balance of other interest earning assets increased from $27.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $31.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.  The decrease in the average yield was primarily due to the 150 basis points decrease in short term market interest rates since March 31, 2020. The increase in the average balance of other interest earning assets was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest earning deposits held by the Company that were only partially used to fund loan originations.

Interest Expense.Interest expense decreased $608,000, or 43.6%, to $787,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily due to a decrease in interest paid on deposits. Interest paid on deposits decreased by $574,000, or 47.8%, to $627,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to a 58 basis points decrease in the average rate paid on deposits due to the decrease in market interest rates since March 31, 2020. The decrease was partially offset by a $37.4 million, or 8.7%, increase in average deposit balances for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The average balance of deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $467.0 million with an average rate of 0.54% compared to the average balance of deposits of $429.6 million and an average rate of 1.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits was due to an increase in core deposit accounts primarily through organic growth and the deposit of PPP funds and government stimulus payments into our customers’ deposit accounts.

Interest expense on long-term debt decreased by $33,000, or 18.8%, to $143,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of advances from the FHLBNY. The average balance of advances from the FHLBNY for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $29.0 million with an average rate of 2.00% compared to an average balance of $34.7 million and an average rate of 2.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in average balance was due to the Company paying off maturing debt with excess cash on hand since March 31, 2020.

Provision for Loan Losses.A $150,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $500,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.  During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s provision for loan losses included  an adjustment of certain qualitative factors to take into account the uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19 and related economic conditions on borrowers’ ability to repay loans.  The provision for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to general reserves for loan originations during the period.

We complete a comprehensive quarterly evaluation to determine our provision for loan losses. The evaluation reflects analyses of individual borrowers and historical loss experience, supplemented as necessary by credit

39

judgment that considers observable trends, conditions, and other relevant environmental and economic factors.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a $148,000 net provision for commercial real estate and construction – commercial loans.  This consisted of a $121,000 general allowance to reflect inherent losses within the portfolio due to $9.2 million of organic growth during the 2021 period. It also included a $27,000 provision to reflect the $1.1 million increase in criticized and classified commercial real estate loans, which consists primarily of one loan relationship that is well-collateralized. An $89,000 net credit provision was recorded for commercial business loans which reflected a $62,000 credit allowance to account for a $600,000 decrease in criticized and classified commercial business loans.  Furthermore, a $27,000 credit allowance to account for a $2.1 million decrease in outstanding commercial business loans, excluding PPP loans, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was recorded. A $78,000 provision was recorded for one-to four-family, home equity and consumer loans that primarily reflected adjustments to certain qualitative factors for these loan types, which was partially offset by a decrease in classified loans during the three months ended March 31, 2021. A $13,000 unallocated provision was recorded to reflect the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general losses in the loan portfolio.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $500,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses.  The provision consisted of a $455,000 net provision for commercial real estate and construction – commercial loans, primarily to account for a $345,000 provision that reflected an adjustment of certain qualitative factors to take into account the uncertain impacts of COVID-19 on economic conditions and borrowers’ ability to repay loans   The provision was also impacted by an $82,000 general allowance due to a $6.1 million, or 2.5%, increase in the commercial real estate and construction – commercial loan portfolio since December 31, 2019, to reflect inherent losses within the portfolio and a $28,000 provision to reflect a $1.1 million increase in criticized and classified commercial real estate loans during the three months ended March 31, 2020. An $86,000 provision was recorded for one-to four-family, home equity and consumer loans primarily to reflect an increase in classified loans during the three months ended March 31, 2020. A $56,000 provision was recorded for commercial business loans primarily to reflect an adjustment of certain qualitative factors relating to the COVID-19 impact on economic conditions and an increase in criticized and classified loans during the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, a $97,000 unallocated credit to the provision for loan losses was recorded to reflect the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general losses in the loan portfolio.

Refer to Note 5  of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on the provision for loan losses.

Non-Interest Income.Non-interest income increased by $365,000, or 80.2%, to $820,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $243,000 increase in unrealized gains on derivative contracts and a $30,000 increase in unrealized gains on equity securities due to an increase in long-term interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was also due to a $120,000 increase in gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans. We sell certain low, fixed rate residential mortgages into the secondary market to manage interest rate risk. We sold $3.3 million of such loans during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Non-interest income was also positively impacted by a $33,000 increase in debit card fee income. The increase in non-interest income was partially offset by a $51,000 decrease in service charges and fees and a $17,000 decrease in earnings on bank owned life insurance during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Non-Interest Expenses.Non-interest expenses were $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $115,000, or 5.2%, primarily due to an increase in deferred salary expense related to loan originations, partially offset by an increase in employee salaries and incentive awards. Other expenses decreased $41,000, or 12.0%, primarily due to a decrease in travel, training, foreclosure and other real estate owned expenses. Advertising expense decreased $40,000, or 23.1%,

40

primarily due to a change in the schedule and structure of our marketing activities. Postage and supplies decreased $13,000, or 17.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2021. These decreases were offset by an increase in professional services expense of $54,000, or 25.1%, primarily due to an increase in consulting costs. FDIC Insurance expense increased $42,000 due to the receipt of small bank assessment credits during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $41,000, or 6.4%, primarily due to increases in building maintenance and repairs and also additional cleaning expense related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Data processing expenses increased $27,000, or 8.1%, primarily due to an increase in core system processing costs and activity.  

Income Taxes Expense.Income tax expense was $299,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $177,000, or 145.1%, as compared to $122,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in income before taxes and an increase in the effective tax rate.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was 15.0% and 14.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in the mix of tax-exempt income derived from our municipal bond portfolio in relation to our pre-tax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise during the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to fund loan commitments, to pay the deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers as well as to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposits,scheduled amortization and prepayments of loans and securities, maturities and sales of investments and loans, excess cash, interest earning deposits at other financial institutions, and funds provided from operations. We have written agreements with the FHLBNY, which allows us to borrow the maximum lending values designated by the type of collateral pledged. As of March 31,2021, the maximum amount that we can borrow from the FHLBNY was $111.8 million and was collateralized by a pledge of certain fixed-rate residential, one- to four-family loans. At March 31,2021, we had outstanding advances under this agreement of $28.3 million. We have a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank discount window for overnight borrowings which is collateralized by a pledge of our securities, and allows us to borrow up to the value of the securities pledged, which was equal to a book value of $10.8million and a fair value of $11.2 million as of March 31,2021. There were no balances outstanding with the Federal Reserve Bank at March 31,  2021. We have also established lines of credits with correspondent banks for $31.0 million, of which $29.0 million is unsecured and the remaining $2.0 million will be secured by a pledge of our securities when a draw is made. There were no borrowings on these lines as of March 31,  2021.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit outflows, calls of investment securities, and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities are strongly influenced by interest rates, general and local economic conditions, and competition in the marketplace. These factors reduce the predictability of the timing of these sources of funds. We have not experienced any unusual pressure on our deposit balances or our liquidity position as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our primary investing activities include the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities.  For the three months ended March 31,2021, we originated loans of approximately $44.8 million as compared to approximately $26.8 million of loans originated during the three months endedMarch 31,  2020. Loan originations exceeded principal repayments and other deductions during the first three months of 2021by $14.3  million. Purchases of investment securities totaled $2.5 million and $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31,  2021 and2020, respectively.  These activities were fundedprimarily through deposit growth, principal payments received on loans and securities, borrowings and cash reserves.  

As described elsewhere in this report, the Company has loan commitments to borrowers and borrowers have unused overdraft lines of protection, unused home equity lines of credit and unused commercial lines of credit that may require funding at a future date. The Company believes it has sufficient funds to fulfill these commitments, including sources of funds available through the use of FHLBNY advances or other liquidity sources. Total deposits were $582.6 million at March 31,  2021, as compared to $560.3 million at December 31, 2020. Approximately $106.9 million of time deposit accounts are scheduled to mature within one year as

41

of March 31,  2021. Based on our deposit retention experience, current pricing strategy, and competitive pricing policies, we anticipate that a significant portion of these time deposits will remain with us following their maturity.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position; therefore, we monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. The marginal cost of new funding, however, whether from deposits or borrowings from the FHLBNY, will be carefully considered as we monitor our liquidity needs. Therefore, in order to minimize our cost of funds, we may consider additional borrowings from the FHLBNY in the future.

We do not anticipate any material capital expenditures in 2021. We do not have any balloon or other payments due on any long-term obligations, other than the borrowing agreements noted above. 

Capital

Federal regulations require a federal savings bank to meet certain capital standards, as discussed in the “Supervision and Regulation  - Federal Banking Regulation – Capital Requirements section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The federal banking agencies have developed a “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (bank’s tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets) for financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities.  A “qualifying community bank” may elect to utilize the Community Bank Leverage Ratio in lieu of the general applicable risk-based capital requirements under Basel III.  If the community bank exceeds this ratio it will be deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under Basel III.  The federal banking agencies may consider a financial institution’s risk profile when evaluating whether it qualifies as a community bank for purposes of the capital ratio requirement. The federal banking agencies set the minimum capital for the Community Bank Leverage Ratio at 9.00%.   The Bank elected to be subject to this new definition when it became effective on January 1, 2020. Pursuant to the CARES Act, the federal banking agencies issued final rules that lowered the Community Bank Leverage Ratio during 2020.  Effective January 1, 2021, the Community Bank Leverage Ratio increased to 8.5% for the calendar year. The ratio will return to 9% on January 1, 2022.  

As of March 31, 2021, the Bank was considered a “qualifying community bank” and its Community Bank Leverage Ratio was 12.03%  so it was deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under Prompt Corrective Action statutes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than loan commitments and two interest rate swap agreements that are not designated as hedging instruments, as previously noted, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.  Refer to Note 7 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of loan commitments outstanding as of March 31,2021.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”, “us”, “our”, or “we”) and Lake Shore Savings Bank (the “Bank”), its wholly owned subsidiary.  All intercompany accounts and transactions of the consolidated subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein as of March 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and therefore, do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of such information and to make the financial statements not misleading.  These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.  The consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent period or the entire year ending December 31, 2021.

To prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management of the Company made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the reporting of revenue and expenses.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, securities valuation estimates, evaluation of impairment of securities and income taxes.

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the statement of financial condition as of March 31, 2021 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.  The evaluation was conducted through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

New Accounting Standards [Abstract]

New Accounting Standards

Note 2 – New Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards to be Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326):  Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”).  ASU 2016-13 requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured using an expected credit loss model (referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model).  Under the CECL model entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications unless reasonable expectation of a troubled debt restructuring exists) from the date of initial recognition of that instrument.  Further, ASU 2016-13 made certain targeted amendments to the existing impairment standards for available for sale (“AFS”) debt securities. For an AFS debt security for which there is neither the intent nor a more-likely-than-not requirement to sell, an entity will record credit losses as an allowance rather than a write-down of the amortized cost basis.  An entity will apply the amendments in ASU 2016-13 through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. 

The Company has determined its data requirements and is developing its methodologies for calculating the expected credit losses under ASU 2016-13 which has allowed the Company to run parallel loss reserve calculations. Data integrity associated with these methodologies is being reviewed and enhancements to the current process are being considered.  We expect that the new guidance will result in an increase to the allowance for loan losses given that the allowance will be required to cover the full remaining expected life of the portfolio, rather than the incurred loss under the current accounting standard.  The extent of this increase is still being evaluated.  We are also reviewing the impact of additional disclosures required under ASU 2016-13 on our ongoing financial reporting procedures.

ASU 2016-13 was originally effective for the Company in 2020. In November 2019, the FASB issued guidance to defer the effective date for smaller reporting companies such as the Company until January 1, 2023.

COVID-19 [Abstract]

COVID-19

Note 3 – COVID-19

During the first quarter of 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was originally identified in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of countries around the world, including the United States. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic.  The direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 and its associated impacts on business activities, retail, travel, productivity and other economic activities have had, are currently having and may for some time continue to have a destabilizing effect on financial markets and economic activity.  As a result, Federal and State, including New York State, governments have passed legislation to counteract the economic impact of the pandemic.  The legislation had a direct impact on the banking industry and our financial operations, as described in Note 3 of the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.  The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”), in addition to providing financial assistance to both businesses and consumers, created a forbearance program for federally-backed mortgage loans and protected borrowers from negative credit reporting due to loan accommodations related to the national emergency. This legislation allowed the Company to provide loan payment deferrals to those borrowers that had incurred a significant economic impact as a result of the pandemic and allowed the Company to provide this relief without accounting for such loans as past due or as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR)". New York State has also passed legislation which prevents residential evictions, foreclosure proceedings, tax lien sales or foreclosures, credit discrimination and negative credit reporting related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These moratoriums were originally going to last until May 1, 2021, but were extended until August 31, 2021 by New York State legislation that was signed into state law on May 4, 2021.

The Company implemented a loan modification program at the onset of the pandemic in the 2nd quarter of 2020 for impacted customers, in line with regulatory guidance, allowing customers to defer loan payments.  The majority of loan deferrals were granted for deferral of principal and interest payments for 90 days, and up to 180 days in some instances, with the loan repayment period extended by the deferral period.  The requests were evaluated individually and approved modifications were based on the unique circumstances of each borrower.At its maximum, the Company approved loan payment deferral requests of up to 90 days on 219 loans, representing $103.1 million, or 21.1% of the Bank’s loan portfolio. The number of loan payment deferral requests has decreased significantly and as of March 31, 2021, three borrowers representing five loans and $15.5 million, or 2.9% of the Bank’s loan portfolio, remained in the loan deferral program, as indicated below:

Loan Type	Number of Loans		Balance Outstanding	Weighted Average Interest Rate
Commercial real estate	3	$	13,965	4.51	%
Commercial business	2		1,541	5.15
	5	$	15,506	4.57	%

These loans were current at the time of modification and were not considered troubled debt restructurings based on the regulatory guidance and we have not accounted for the loans as TDRs, nor have we designated the loans as past due or non-accrual. At this time management has not downgraded its classification of the remaining five loans in the loan deferral program due to the quality of knowledge that our loan officers have obtained from their discussions with the borrowers and due to the strength of the collateral and guarantors.  Management continues to carefully monitor those borrowers who remain on payment deferral for additional signs of distress that would result in a downgrade in loan classification.

The Company originated 86 commercial loans representing $30.7 million under the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) during 2020 to assist business customers who suffered from the economic impact of the pandemic. On December 27, 2020, President Trump signed another COVID-19 relief bill that extended and modified several provisions of the PPP.  The SBA reactivated the PPP on January 11, 2021.  The Bank is originating additional PPP loans from this modified program, which will currently extend until May 31, 2021.  In the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Bank had originated and received SBA approval on 29 PPP loans totaling $9.7 million and received $158,000 in related net deferred PPP fees under the 2021 PPP authorization.  Upon funding the loans, the net fees were deferred and will be amortized over the life of the loans as an adjustment to yield.  As of March 31, 2021, 18 PPP loans totaling $5.1 million had been forgiven by the SBA.  It is expected that most customers that received a PPP loan in 2020 will apply and receive PPP loan forgiveness during the next nine months, upon which any unamortized deferred fees will be recognized as an adjustment to interest income.  During the three months ended March 31, 2021, a total of $81,000 in net PPP fees had been recognized by the Bank including fees recognized upon forgiveness and continuing amortization of fees from the 2020 and 2021 PPP originations.  At March 31, 2021, there were $23.0 million in PPP loans outstanding and recorded as commercial business loans. PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and are not considered when determining the allowance for loan losses. In addition, these loans are classified as pass and are reported as current when determining payment status.

The Company continues to evaluate the disruption caused by the pandemic and the impact of the federal and state regulations that have been enacted due to the pandemic, as these events may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s future results, operations, financial position, capital and liquidity.  At this time the Company cannot quantify the potential impact of the pandemic on future operations.

Debt Securities

All of our collateralized mortgage obligations are backed by one- to four-family residential mortgages.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, thirty-one municipal bonds with a cost of $10.8 million and fair value of $11.2 million were pledged under a collateral agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) of New York for liquidity borrowing. In addition, at March 31, 2021 twenty municipal bonds with a cost of $6.0 million and fair value of $6.2 million were pledged as collateral for customer deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. At December 31, 2020, sixteenmunicipal bonds with a cost of$4.2 million and fair value of$4.4 million were pledged as collateral for customer deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limits.

The Company reviews all investment securities on an ongoing basis for the presence of other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) with formal reviews performed quarterly. 

At March 31, 2021, the Company’s investment portfolio included thirty-three securities in the “unrealized losses less than twelve months”  category and one security in the “unrealized losses twelve months or more” category. Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities until maturity. Management believes the temporary impairments were due to declines in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates and/or increased credit liquidity spreads since the securities were purchased. The unrealized losses on debt securities shown in the previous tables were recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

The following table presents a summary of the credit-related OTTI charges recognized as components of income:

	For The Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020

Ending balance	$	200	$	278

A deterioration in credit quality and/or other factors that may limit the liquidity of a security in our portfolio might adversely affect the fair values of the Company’s investment portfolio and may increase the potential that certain unrealized losses will be designated as “other-than-temporary” and that the Company may incur additional write-downs in future periods.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not sell any debt securities.

Allowance for Loan Losses [Abstract]

Allowance for Loan Losses

Note 5 - Allowance for Loan Losses

Management segregates the loan portfolio into loan types and analyzes the risk level for each loan type when determining its allowance for loan losses.  The loan types are as follows:

Real Estate Loans:

· One- to Four-Family – are loans secured by first lien collateral on residential real estate primarily held in the Western New York region.  These loans can be affected by economic conditions and the value of underlying properties.  Western New York’s housing market has consistently demonstrated stability in home prices despite economic conditions. Furthermore, the Company has conservative underwriting standards and its residential lending policies and procedures ensure that its one- to four-family residential mortgage loans generally conform to secondary market guidelines.  

· Home Equity - are loans or lines of credit secured by first or second liens on owner-occupied residential real estate primarily held in the Western New York region.  These loans can also be affected by economic conditions and the values of underlying properties. Home equity loans may have increased risk of loss if the Company does not hold the first mortgage resulting in the Company being in a secondary position in the event of collateral liquidation.  The Company does not originate interest only home equity loans.        

· Commercial Real Estate – are loans used to finance the purchase of real property, which generally consists of developed real estate that is held as first lien collateral for the loan.  These loans are secured by real estate properties that are primarily held in the Western New York region.  Commercial real estate lending involves additional risks compared with one- to four-family residential lending, because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, and/or the collateral value of the commercial real estate securing the loan, and repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or economic conditions to a greater extent than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans.  Also, commercial real estate loans typically involve relatively large loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers.

· Construction – are loans to finance the construction of either one- to four-family owner occupied homes or commercial real estate.  At the end of the construction period, the loan automatically converts to either a one- to four-family or commercial mortgage, as applicable.  Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion compared to the actual cost of construction. The Company limits its risk during construction as disbursements are not made until the required work for each advance has been completed and an updated lien search is performed.  The completion of the construction progress is verified by a Company loan officer or inspections performed by an independent appraisal firm.  Construction loans also expose us to the risk of construction delays which may impair the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. 

Other Loans:

· Commercial – includes business installment loans, lines of credit, and other commercial loans.  Most of our commercial loans have fixed interest rates, and are for terms generally not in excess of 5 years.  Whenever possible, we collateralize these loans with a lien on business assets and equipment and require the personal guarantees from principals of the borrower.  Commercial loans generally involve a higher degree of credit risk, as commercial loans can involve relatively large loan balances to a single borrower or groups of related borrowers, with the repayment of such loans typically dependent on the successful operation of the commercial business and the income stream of the borrower.  Such risks can be significantly affected by economic conditions.  Although commercial loans may be collateralized by equipment or other business assets, the liquidation of collateral in the event of a borrower default may be an insufficient source of repayment because the equipment or other business assets may be obsolete or of limited use, among other things. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial loan depends primarily on the credit worthiness of the borrowers (and any guarantors), while liquidation of collateral is a secondary and often insufficient source of repayment. 

· Consumer – consist of loans secured by collateral such as an automobile or a deposit account, unsecured loans and lines of credit.  Consumer loans tend to have a higher credit risk due to the loans being either unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciable assets.  Furthermore, consumer loan payments are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and therefore are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account that reflects the Company’s evaluation of the losses inherent in its loan portfolio. In order to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company estimates losses by loan type using historical loss factors, as well as other environmental factors, such as trends in loan volume and loan type, loan concentrations, changes in the experience, ability and depth of the Company’s lending management, and national and local economic conditions. The Company's determination as to the classification of loans and the amount of loss allowances are subject to review by bank regulators, which can require the establishment of additional loss allowances.

The Company also reviews all loans on which the collectability of principal may not be reasonably assured, by reviewing payment status, financial conditions and estimated value of loan collateral. These loans are assigned an internal loan grade, and the Company assigns an amount of loss allowances to these classified loans based on loan grade.

Although the allocations noted below are by loan type, the allowance for loan losses is general in nature and is available to offset losses from any loan in the Company’s portfolio. The unallocated component of the allowance for loan losses reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for existing specific and general losses in the portfolio.

The following tables summarize the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and the distribution of the allowance for loan losses and loans receivable by loan portfolio class and impairment method as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial real estate loans and commercial loans. Larger groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer, home equity, or one- to four-family loans for impairment disclosure, unless they are subject to a troubled debt restructuring.

(2) Includes $23.0million and $18.1 million of PPP loans at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which do not require payments for a certain amount of time under the CARES Act and are 100% guaranteed by SBA.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. A loan does not have to be 90 days delinquent in order to be classified as non-accrual. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. If ultimate collection of principal is in doubt, all cash receipts on impaired loans are applied to reduce the principal balance.

The Company’s policies provide for the classification of loans as follows:

· Pass/Performing;

· Special Mention – does not currently expose the Company to a sufficient degree of risk but does possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving the Company’s close attention;

· Substandard – has one or more well-defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. A substandard asset would be one inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or pledged collateral, if applicable;

· Doubtful – has all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss; and

· Loss – loan is considered uncollectible and continuance without the establishment of a specific valuation reserve is not warranted.

The Company’s Asset Classification Committee is responsible for monitoring risk ratings and making changes as deemed appropriate.  Each commercial loan is individually assigned a loan classification.  The Company’s consumer loans, including residential one- to four-family loans and home equity loans, are not classified as described above.  Instead, the Company uses the delinquency status as the basis for classifying these loans.  Generally, all consumer loans more than 90 days past due are classified and placed in non-accrual. Such loans that are well-secured and in the process of collection will remain in accrual status.

The following tables summarize the internal loan grades applied to the Company’s loan portfolio as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

(3) The Pass/Performing category for Commercial Loans includes $23.0 million and $18.1 million of PPP loans at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which do not require payments for a certain amount of time under the CARES Act and are 100% guaranteed by SBA.

TDRs occur when we grant borrowers concessions that we would not otherwise grant but for economic or legal reasons pertaining to the borrower’s financial difficulties. A concession is made when the terms of the loan modification are more favorable than the terms the borrower would have received in the current market under similar financial difficulties. These concessions may include, but are not limited to, modifications of the terms of the debt, the transfer of assets or the issuance of an equity interest by the borrower to satisfy all or part of the debt, or the addition of borrower(s). The Company identifies loans for potential TDRs primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports.  Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future. Generally, we will not return a TDR to accrual status until the borrower has demonstrated the ability to make principal and interest payments under the restructured terms for at least six consecutive months. The Company’s TDRs are impaired loans, which may result in specific allocations and subsequent charge-offs if appropriate.

Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in full collection of principal and interest, as modified, which may result in potential losses.  These potential losses have been factored into our overall estimate of the allowance for loan losses.

The following table summarizes the loans that were classified as TDRs as of the dates indicated:

Foreclosed real estate consists of property acquired in settlement of loans which is carried at its fair value less estimated selling costs. Write-downs from cost to fair value less estimated selling costs are recorded at the date of acquisition or repossession and are charged to the allowance for loan losses.Foreclosed real estate was $51,000 and $58,000 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and was included as a component of other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The recorded investment of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction was $1.9 million and $1.8 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Earnings per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share

Note 6 – Earnings per Share

Earnings per share was calculated for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, exclusive of unearned shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “ESOP”), by the Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”), and by the Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”). Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of dilutive securities. Stock options are regarded as potential common stock and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent they would be dilutive and computed using the treasury stock method.

The calculated basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Numerator – net income	$	1,688,000	$	731,000
Denominator:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding		5,913,111		5,986,793
Increase in weighted average shares outstanding due to:

Diluted	$	0.29	$	0.12

⁽¹⁾ Stock options to purchase 64,547 shares under the Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan and 20,000 shares under the EIP at $14.38 per share were outstanding during the three month period ended March 31, 2020, but were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

Commitments to Extend Credit [Abstract]

Commitments to Extend Credit

Note 7 – Commitments to Extend Credit

The Company has commitments to extend credit with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.  There were no loss reserves associated with these commitments at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

The following commitments to extend credit were outstanding as of the dates specified:

	Contract Amount
	March 31,		December 31,
	2021		2020
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commitments to grant loans	$	42,823	$	47,065
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit		69,750		66,134

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Stock-based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock-based Compensation

Note 8 – Stock-based Compensation

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had four stock-based compensation plans, which are described below. The compensation cost that has been recorded under salary and benefits expense in the non-interest expense section of the consolidated statements of income for these plans was $71,000 and $68,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.          

2006 Stock Option Plan

The Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders, permitted the grant of options to its employees and non-employee directors for up to 297,562 shares of common stock. The Stock Option Plan expired on October 24, 2016, and grants of options can no longer be awarded.

Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options have been granted under the Stock Option Plan. The exercise price of each stock option equals the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and an option’s maximum term is ten years. The stock options generally vest over a five year period.

A summary of the status of the Stock Option Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is presented below:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Note 9 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique.  Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated.  The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates.  The estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported here.

GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities measurements (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable input measurements (Level 3).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2:  Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition contain investment securities and derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  For financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:

⁽¹⁾ Included in Other Liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition

Level 2 inputs for assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment projections, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

· Investment securities – the fair values are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1) or matrix pricing (Level 2), 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. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution date, market consensus prepayment projections, credit information and the security’ terms and conditions, among other things.  Level 2 securities which are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets, are valued using prices obtained from our custodian, who use third party data service providers.

· Interest Rate Swap – the fair value is based on a discounted cash flow model.  The model’s key assumptions include the contractual term of the derivative contract, including the period to maturity, and the use of observable market based inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves, nonperformance risk and implied volatility.

In addition to disclosure of the fair value of assets on a recurring basis, GAAP requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as impaired assets and foreclosed real estate. Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of these loans. Non-recurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated when establishing the allowance for loan losses. An impaired loan is carried at fair value based on either a recent appraisal less estimated selling costs of underlying collateral or discounted cash flows based on current market conditions.

For assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:

	Fair Value Measurements
			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs
	Fair Value		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
		(Dollars in thousands)

At March 31, 2021
Foreclosed real estate	$	51	$	-	$	-	$	51
At December 31, 2020
Foreclosed real estate	$	58	$	-	$	-	$	58

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:

	Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
(Dollars in thousands)	Fair Value Estimate		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range	Weighted Average
At March 31, 2021
Foreclosed real estate	$	51	Market valuation of property (1)	Direct Disposal Costs (2)	7.00%	7.00%
At December 31, 2020
Foreclosed real estate	$	58	Market valuation of property (1)	Direct Disposal Costs (2)	7.00%	7.00%

⁽¹⁾ Fair value is generally determined through independent third-party appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally includes various Level 3 inputs which are not observable.

⁽²⁾ The fair value basis of foreclosed real estate may be adjusted to reflect management estimates of disposal costs including, but not necessarily limited to, real estate brokerage commissions, legal fees, and delinquent property taxes.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, foreclosed real estate valued using Level 3 inputs had a carrying amount of $67,000. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, foreclosed real estate valued using Level 3 inputs had valuation allowances of $16,000 and $9,000, respectively.

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”, “us”, “our”, or “we”) and Lake Shore Savings Bank (the “Bank”), its wholly owned subsidiary.  All intercompany accounts and transactions of the consolidated subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Accounting

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein as of March 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and therefore, do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of such information and to make the financial statements not misleading.  These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.  The consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent period or the entire year ending December 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates

To prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management of the Company made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the reporting of revenue and expenses.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, securities valuation estimates, evaluation of impairment of securities and income taxes.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the statement of financial condition as of March 31, 2021 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.  The evaluation was conducted through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

New Accounting Standards (Policy)

New Accounting Standards [Abstract]

Accounting Standards to be Adopted

Accounting Standards to be Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326):  Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”).  ASU 2016-13 requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured using an expected credit loss model (referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model).  Under the CECL model entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications unless reasonable expectation of a troubled debt restructuring exists) from the date of initial recognition of that instrument.  Further, ASU 2016-13 made certain targeted amendments to the existing impairment standards for available for sale (“AFS”) debt securities. For an AFS debt security for which there is neither the intent nor a more-likely-than-not requirement to sell, an entity will record credit losses as an allowance rather than a write-down of the amortized cost basis.  An entity will apply the amendments in ASU 2016-13 through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. 

The Company has determined its data requirements and is developing its methodologies for calculating the expected credit losses under ASU 2016-13 which has allowed the Company to run parallel loss reserve calculations. Data integrity associated with these methodologies is being reviewed and enhancements to the current process are being considered.  We expect that the new guidance will result in an increase to the allowance for loan losses given that the allowance will be required to cover the full remaining expected life of the portfolio, rather than the incurred loss under the current accounting standard.  The extent of this increase is still being evaluated.  We are also reviewing the impact of additional disclosures required under ASU 2016-13 on our ongoing financial reporting procedures.

ASU 2016-13 was originally effective for the Company in 2020. In November 2019, the FASB issued guidance to defer the effective date for smaller reporting companies such as the Company until January 1, 2023

Allowance for Loan Losses (Policy)

Allowance for Loan Losses [Abstract]

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management segregates the loan portfolio into loan types and analyzes the risk level for each loan type when determining its allowance for loan losses.  The loan types are as follows:

Real Estate Loans:

· One- to Four-Family – are loans secured by first lien collateral on residential real estate primarily held in the Western New York region.  These loans can be affected by economic conditions and the value of underlying properties.  Western New York’s housing market has consistently demonstrated stability in home prices despite economic conditions. Furthermore, the Company has conservative underwriting standards and its residential lending policies and procedures ensure that its one- to four-family residential mortgage loans generally conform to secondary market guidelines.  

· Home Equity - are loans or lines of credit secured by first or second liens on owner-occupied residential real estate primarily held in the Western New York region.  These loans can also be affected by economic conditions and the values of underlying properties. Home equity loans may have increased risk of loss if the Company does not hold the first mortgage resulting in the Company being in a secondary position in the event of collateral liquidation.  The Company does not originate interest only home equity loans.        

· Commercial Real Estate – are loans used to finance the purchase of real property, which generally consists of developed real estate that is held as first lien collateral for the loan.  These loans are secured by real estate properties that are primarily held in the Western New York region.  Commercial real estate lending involves additional risks compared with one- to four-family residential lending, because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, and/or the collateral value of the commercial real estate securing the loan, and repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or economic conditions to a greater extent than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans.  Also, commercial real estate loans typically involve relatively large loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers.

· Construction – are loans to finance the construction of either one- to four-family owner occupied homes or commercial real estate.  At the end of the construction period, the loan automatically converts to either a one- to four-family or commercial mortgage, as applicable.  Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion compared to the actual cost of construction. The Company limits its risk during construction as disbursements are not made until the required work for each advance has been completed and an updated lien search is performed.  The completion of the construction progress is verified by a Company loan officer or inspections performed by an independent appraisal firm.  Construction loans also expose us to the risk of construction delays which may impair the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. 

Other Loans:

· Commercial – includes business installment loans, lines of credit, and other commercial loans.  Most of our commercial loans have fixed interest rates, and are for terms generally not in excess of 5 years.  Whenever possible, we collateralize these loans with a lien on business assets and equipment and require the personal guarantees from principals of the borrower.  Commercial loans generally involve a higher degree of credit risk, as commercial loans can involve relatively large loan balances to a single borrower or groups of related borrowers, with the repayment of such loans typically dependent on the successful operation of the commercial business and the income stream of the borrower.  Such risks can be significantly affected by economic conditions.  Although commercial loans may be collateralized by equipment or other business assets, the liquidation of collateral in the event of a borrower default may be an insufficient source of repayment because the equipment or other business assets may be obsolete or of limited use, among other things. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial loan depends primarily on the credit worthiness of the borrowers (and any guarantors), while liquidation of collateral is a secondary and often insufficient source of repayment. 

· Consumer – consist of loans secured by collateral such as an automobile or a deposit account, unsecured loans and lines of credit.  Consumer loans tend to have a higher credit risk due to the loans being either unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciable assets.  Furthermore, consumer loan payments are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and therefore are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account that reflects the Company’s evaluation of the losses inherent in its loan portfolio. In order to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company estimates losses by loan type using historical loss factors, as well as other environmental factors, such as trends in loan volume and loan type, loan concentrations, changes in the experience, ability and depth of the Company’s lending management, and national and local economic conditions. The Company's determination as to the classification of loans and the amount of loss allowances are subject to review by bank regulators, which can require the establishment of additional loss allowances.

The Company also reviews all loans on which the collectability of principal may not be reasonably assured, by reviewing payment status, financial conditions and estimated value of loan collateral. These loans are assigned an internal loan grade, and the Company assigns an amount of loss allowances to these classified loans based on loan grade.

Although the allocations noted below are by loan type, the allowance for loan losses is general in nature and is available to offset losses from any loan in the Company’s portfolio. The unallocated component of the allowance for loan losses reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for existing specific and general losses in the portfolio.

Impaired Financing Receivable

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial real estate loans and commercial loans. Larger groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer, home equity, or one- to four-family loans for impairment disclosure, unless they are subject to a troubled debt restructuring.

Nonaccrual Loan Status

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. A loan does not have to be 90 days delinquent in order to be classified as non-accrual. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. If ultimate collection of principal is in doubt, all cash receipts on impaired loans are applied to reduce the principal balance.

Financing Receivable Credit Quality

The Company’s policies provide for the classification of loans as follows:

· Pass/Performing;

· Special Mention – does not currently expose the Company to a sufficient degree of risk but does possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving the Company’s close attention;

· Substandard – has one or more well-defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. A substandard asset would be one inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or pledged collateral, if applicable;

· Doubtful – has all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss; and

· Loss – loan is considered uncollectible and continuance without the establishment of a specific valuation reserve is not warranted.

The Company’s Asset Classification Committee is responsible for monitoring risk ratings and making changes as deemed appropriate.  Each commercial loan is individually assigned a loan classification.  The Company’s consumer loans, including residential one- to four-family loans and home equity loans, are not classified as described above.  Instead, the Company uses the delinquency status as the basis for classifying these loans.  Generally, all consumer loans more than 90 days past due are classified and placed in non-accrual. Such loans that are well-secured and in the process of collection will remain in accrual status.

Loans and Leases Receivable, Troubled Debt Restructuring

TDRs occur when we grant borrowers concessions that we would not otherwise grant but for economic or legal reasons pertaining to the borrower’s financial difficulties. A concession is made when the terms of the loan modification are more favorable than the terms the borrower would have received in the current market under similar financial difficulties. These concessions may include, but are not limited to, modifications of the terms of the debt, the transfer of assets or the issuance of an equity interest by the borrower to satisfy all or part of the debt, or the addition of borrower(s). The Company identifies loans for potential TDRs primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports.  Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future. Generally, we will not return a TDR to accrual status until the borrower has demonstrated the ability to make principal and interest payments under the restructured terms for at least six consecutive months. The Company’s TDRs are impaired loans, which may result in specific allocations and subsequent charge-offs if appropriate.

Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in full collection of principal and interest, as modified, which may result in potential losses.  These potential losses have been factored into our overall estimate of the allowance for loan losses.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Foreclosed real estate consists of property acquired in settlement of loans which is carried at its fair value less estimated selling costs. Write-downs from cost to fair value less estimated selling costs are recorded at the date of acquisition or repossession and are charged to the allowance for loan losses.

Earnings per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Common Share

Earnings per share was calculated for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, exclusive of unearned shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “ESOP”), by the Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”), and by the Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”). Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of dilutive securities. Stock options are regarded as potential common stock and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent they would be dilutive and computed using the treasury stock method.

Commitments to Extend Credit [Abstract]

Commitments to Extend Credit

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Policy)

Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis [Line Items]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities measurements (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable input measurements (Level 3).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2:  Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair Value, Nonrecurring [Member]

Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis [Line Items]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In addition to disclosure of the fair value of assets on a recurring basis, GAAP requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as impaired assets and foreclosed real estate. Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of these loans. Non-recurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated when establishing the allowance for loan losses. An impaired loan is carried at fair value based on either a recent appraisal less estimated selling costs of underlying collateral or discounted cash flows based on current market conditions.

Fair value measurements valuation technique	Periodically, the Company records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of these loans. Non-recurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated when establishing the allowance for loan losses. An impaired loan is carried at fair value based on either a recent appraisal less estimated selling costs of underlying collateral or discounted cash flows based on current market conditions.

Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis [Line Items]
Fair value measurements valuation technique	Investment securities – the fair values are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1) or matrix pricing (Level 2), 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. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution date, market consensus prepayment projections, credit information and the security' terms and conditions, among other things. Level 2 securities which are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets, are valued using prices obtained from our custodian, who use third party data service providers.
