MSB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


Note 1 – Organization and Business

MSB Financial Corp. (the "Company") is a Maryland-chartered corporation organized in 2014 to be the successor to MSB Financial Corp., a federal corporation ("Old MSB") upon completion of the second-step conversion of Millington Bank (the "Bank") from the two-tier mutual holding company structure to the stock holding company structure. MSB Financial, MHC (the "MHC") was the former mutual holding company for Old MSB prior to completion of the second-step conversion.  In conjunction with the second-step conversion, each of the MHC and Old MSB ceased to exist.  The second-step conversion was completed on July 16, 2015 at which time the Company sold 3,766,592 shares of its common stock (including 150,663 shares purchased by the Bank's employee stock ownership plan) at $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $37.7 million. Expenses related to the stock offering totaled $1.5 million and were netted against proceeds. As part of the second-step conversion, each of the outstanding shares of common stock of Old MSB held by persons other than the MHC were converted into 1.1397 shares of Company common stock with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.  As a result, a total of 2,187,242 shares were issued in the second-step conversion.  As a result of the second-step conversion, all share and per share information has subsequently been revised to reflect the 1.1397 exchange ratio unless otherwise noted.
The Company's principal business is the ownership and operation of the Bank. The Bank is a New Jersey-chartered stock savings bank and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The primary business of the Bank is attracting retail deposits from the general public and using those deposits together with funds generated from operations, principal repayments on securities and loans and borrowed funds, for its lending and investing activities. The Bank's loan portfolio primarily consists of one-to-four family and home equity residential loans, commercial loans, and construction loans. It also invests in U.S. government obligations and mortgage-backed securities. The Bank is regulated by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") regulates the Company as a bank holding company.
The primary business of Millington Savings Service Corp (the "Service Corp") was the ownership and operation of a single commercial rental property. This property was sold during the year ended June 30, 2007. Currently the Service Corp is inactive.

Subsequent Event

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the statement of financial condition date of June 30, 2016, 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.

On August 12, 2016, the Company distributed $642,000 to the participants of the Executive Retirement Plan. This plan was terminated on July 1, 2015 and all expenses were accrued up through June 30, 2016 and disclosed in Note 7.


Note 2 – Basis of Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary the Service Corp. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, and therefore, do not include
 
6

all information or notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments or accruals, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been made at June 30, 2016 and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.  The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire fiscal year or other interim periods.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated statements of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the periods then ended. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses all available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions in the Bank's market area.  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09, as modified by ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-8, ASU 2016-10, and ASU 2016-12, is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.  The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption  (which includes additional footnote disclosures).  We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2018.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall. The guidance in this ASU among other things, (1) requires equity investments with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (2) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, (3) eliminates the requirement for public businesses entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (4) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, (5) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the change in fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, (6) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements and (7) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years

beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU revises the accounting related to lessee accounting. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases. The new lease guidance also simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily due to the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the first interim period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The standard is required to be adopted using the modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This ASU changes several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (1) accounting and cash flow classification for excess tax benefits and deficiencies, (2) forfeitures, and (3) tax withholding requirements and cash flow classification. The standard is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for the interim or annual period provided that the entire standard is adopted. If an entity early adopts the standard in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured using an expected credit loss model. Under this model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument. The standard is effective for public companies in annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted the interim or annual period provided that the entire standard is adopted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

All mortgage-backed securities owned at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 have been issued by FNMA, FHLMC or GNMA and are secured by one-to-four family residential real estate. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities held to maturity at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, as shown above, are reported by contractual maturity.  Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
There were no sales of securities held to maturity during the six months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015.  At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, securities held to maturity with a fair value of approximately $1.0 million and $997,800, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds on deposit.

At June 30, 2016, management concluded that the unrealized losses summarized above (which related to one mortgage-backed security, six corporate bonds and two state and political subdivision securities, compared to nineteen U.S. Government agency bonds, fifteen mortgage-backed securities, five corporate bonds, four state and political subdivision bonds, and four certificates of deposit as of December 31, 2015) are temporary in nature since they are not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuer.  The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company would be required to sell these securities prior to the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost.  Management believes that the losses above are primarily related to the change in market interest rates. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any other-than-temporary impairment loss on these securities.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance calculation methodology includes segregation of the total loan portfolio into segments. The Company's loans receivable portfolio is comprised of the following segments: residential mortgage, commercial real estate, construction, commercial and industrial and consumer.  Some segments of the Company's loan receivable portfolio are further disaggregated into classes which allow management to more accurately monitor risk and performance.
The residential mortgage loan segment is disaggregated into two classes: one-to-four family loans, which are primarily first liens, and home equity loans, which consist of first and second liens.  The commercial real estate loan segment includes owner and non-owner occupied loans which have medium risk based on historical experience with these types of loans.  The construction loan segment is further disaggregated into two classes: one-to-four family owner-occupied, which includes land loans, whereby the owner is known and there is less risk, and other, whereby the property is generally under development and tends to have more risk than the one-to-four family owner-occupied loans.  The commercial and industrial loan segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of commercial customers. The majority of commercial and industrial loans are secured by real estate and thus carry a lower risk than traditional commercial and industrial loans.  The consumer loan segment consists primarily of installment loans and overdraft lines of credit connected with customer deposit accounts.
12

Note 5 - Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers pools of loans by loan class. These pools of loans are evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates for each of these classes of loans, adjusted for qualitative factors.  These qualitative risk factors include:

1.
Lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices.
2.
National, regional, and local economic and business conditions as well as the condition of various market segments, including the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans.
3.
Nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans.
4.
Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff.
5.
Volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans as well as other loan modifications.
6.
Quality of the Company's loan review system, and the degree of oversight by the Company's Board of Directors.
7.
Existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations.
8.
Effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements.
 
Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management's best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation.

An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management. Based on management's comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
For all classes of loans receivable, the accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or when management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. Certain loans may remain on accrual status if they are in the process of collection and are either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed. Interest received on nonaccrual loans, including impaired loans, generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management's judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time (generally six months) and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.  The past due status of all classes of loans receivable is determined based on contractual due dates for loan payments.

Note 5 - Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

Impaired Loans

Management evaluates individual loans in all of the loan segments (including loans in the residential mortgage and consumer segments) for possible impairment- if the loan is either on nonaccrual status or is risk rated Substandard or worse or has been modified in a troubled debt restructuring.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Once the determination has been made that a loan is impaired, impairment is measured by comparing the recorded investment in the loan to one of the following: (a) the present value of expected cash flows (discounted at the loan's effective interest rate), (b) the loan's observable market price or (c) the fair value of collateral adjusted for expected selling costs.  The method is selected on a loan-by-loan basis with management primarily utilizing the fair value of collateral method.

The estimated fair values of the real estate collateral are determined primarily through third-party appraisals. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include estimated costs to sell the property.

The estimated fair values of the non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, are determined based on the borrower's financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging schedules or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets.

The evaluation of the need and amount of the allowance for impaired loans and whether a loan can be removed from impairment status is made on a quarterly basis.  The Company's policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans does not differ from its overall policy for interest recognition.

The following tables provide an analysis of the impaired loans at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the average balances of such loans for the six months and year, respectively, then ended:

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, impaired loans listed above include $12.0 million and $15.1 million, respectively, of loans previously modified in troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") and as such are considered impaired under GAAP.  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $9.6 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of these loans have been performing in accordance with their modified terms for an extended period of time and as such were removed from non-accrual status and considered performing.

Interest income of $153,000 and $183,000 was recognized on impaired loans during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The average balance of impaired loans for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were $16.8 million and $18.9 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, interest income of $318,000 and $385,000, respectively, was recognized on impaired loans. The average balance of impaired loans for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $18.8 million.

Credit Quality Indicators

Management uses an eight point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the loans in the Company's commercial real estate, construction and commercial and industrial loan segments.  The borrower's overall financial condition, repayment sources, guarantors and value of collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated annually or when credit deficiencies, such as delinquent loan payments, arise. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The first six risk rating categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as "Pass" rated.  The "Special Mention" category includes assets that are currently protected, but are potentially weak, resulting in increased credit risk and deserving management's close attention.  If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects.  Loans classified "Substandard" have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected.  They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans classified "Doubtful" have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified "Substandard" with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable.  Loans classified as a "Loss" are considered uncollectible and subsequently charged off.

Management further monitors the performance and credit quality of the retail portfolio by analyzing the age of the portfolio as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is past due. These credit quality indicators are assessed in the aggregate in these relatively homogeneous portfolios. Loans greater than 90 days past due are generally considered nonperforming and placed on nonaccrual status.

Note 5 - Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Loans the terms of which are modified are classified as a TDR if, in connection with the modification, the Company grants such borrowers concessions and it is deemed that those borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions granted under a TDR generally involve a reduction in interest rate below market rates given the associated credit risk, or an extension of a loan's stated maturity date or capitalization of interest and/or escrow. Nonaccrual TDRs are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for six consecutive months after modification.  Loans classified as TDRs are designated as impaired until they are ultimately repaid in full or foreclosed and sold.  The nature and extent of impairment of TDRs, including those which experienced a subsequent default, are considered in the determination of an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses.

The recorded investment balance of TDRs totaled $12.0 million at June 30, 2016 compared with $15.1 million at December 31, 2015.  The majority of the Company's TDRs are on accrual status. Accruing TDRs totaled $9.6 million at June 30, 2016 versus $11.0 million at December 31, 2015.  The total of TDRs on non-accrual status was $2.4 million at June 30, 2016 and $4.1 million at December 31, 2015.

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company did not modify any loans as a TDR. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company modified a single one-to-four family mortgage loan with a pre-modification and post-modification balance of $237,000. A twelve month period with a lower interest rate and payment was granted after which the loan returns to contractual terms.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company did not modify any loans as a TDR. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company modified one home equity loan with a pre-modification and post-modification balance of $167,000. An interest only period was initiated until October 2016 after which the loan is on a fifteen-year amortization schedule. In addition, the Company modified a single one-to-four family mortgage loan with a pre-modification and post-modification balance of $237,000. A twelve month period with a lower interest rate and payment was granted after which the loan returns to contractual terms.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.  There were no loans modified in TDRs during the previous 12 months and for which there was a subsequent payment default for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

There was no Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. We may obtain physical possession of residential real estate collateralizing consumer mortgage loans via foreclosure or in-substance repossession. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had consumer loans with a carrying value of $2.4 and $1.8 million, respectively, collateralized by residential real estate property for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process.

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and certain liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.
FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Market Value Disclosures ("ASC 820"), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.
ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

·
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
·
Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These 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 speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs – 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.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.  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.
 
21

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company's valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future values. While management believes the Company's valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Bank did not have any financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Certain financial and non-financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).
The following table summarizes those assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

An impaired loan is measured for impairment at the time the loan is identified as impaired.  Loans are considered impaired when based on current information and events it is probable that payments of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The Company's impaired loans are generally collateral dependent and, as such, are carried at the lower of

cost or estimated fair value less estimated selling costs.  Fair values are estimated through current appraisals and adjusted as necessary to reflect current market conditions and as such are classified as Level 3.

Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of a financial instrument is defined above. Significant estimates were used for the purposes of disclosing fair values. Estimated fair values have been determined using the best available data and estimation methodology suitable for each category of 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 sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective reporting dates, and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported.
The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company's assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company's disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.
The following presents the carrying amount and the fair value as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial instruments which are carried on the consolidated statement of financial condition at cost and are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  This table excludes financial instruments for which carrying amount approximates fair value, which includes cash and cash equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, accrued interest receivable, interest and non-interest bearing demand, savings and club deposits, and accrued interest payable.

Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair values of financial instruments previously disclosed are as follows:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Securities Held to Maturity
The fair value for securities held to maturity is based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
Loans Receivable
The fair value of loans is based upon a multitude of sources, including assumed current market rates by category and the Company's current offering rates.  Both fixed and variable rate loan fair values are derived using a discounted cash flow methodology.  For variable rate loans, repricing terms, including next repricing date, repricing frequency and repricing rate are factored into the discounted cash flow formula.
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock
The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock approximates fair value since the Company is generally able to redeem this stock at par.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments.
Deposits
Fair values for demand and savings and club accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair values of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar instruments with similar maturities.
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank of New York
Fair values of advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on rates currently available to the Company for advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
Fair values of commitments to extend credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account market interest rates, the remaining terms, and the present credit worthiness of the counterparties.  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of the commitments to extend credit was not considered to be material.

Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation

On April 22, 2016, the MSB Financial Corp. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") was approved at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Under this plan, the Company may grant options to purchase up to 281,499 shares of Company's common stock and issue up to 112,600 shares of restricted stock. At June 30, 2016, there were 71,051 shares remaining for future option grants and 5,197 shares remaining for future restricted share grants under the plan.

On June 7, 2016, options to purchase 210,448 shares of common stock at $13.04 per share were awarded and will expire no later than ten years following the grant date. The options granted vest over a five-year service period, with 20% of the awards vesting on each anniversary date of grant. The fair value of the options granted, as computed using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $2.12 per option based upon the following underlying assumptions: a risk-free interest rate, expected option life, expected stock price volatility, and dividend yield of 1.37%, 6.5 years, 11.83%, and 0.00%, respectively.

The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield at the option grant date for securities with a term matching the expected life of the options granted. The expected life was calculated using the "simplified" method provided for under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. Expected volatility was calculated based upon the actual price history of the Company's common stock up until the date of the option grants. The dividend yield was not used in the calculation since no dividends were declared since the Company completed the full stock conversion.

The following table provides information about our stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2016 and for the six months then ended:

The total amount of compensation cost remaining to be recognized relating to unvested option grants as of June 30, 2016 was $439,000. The weighted-average period over which the expense is expected to be recognized is 5.0 years. At June 30, 2016, the intrinsic value of options exercisable and all options outstanding was approximately $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

The Company awarded 107,403 shares of restricted stock that vest over a five year period during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The fair value of the restricted stock is equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The total amount of compensation cost to be recognized relating to non-vested restricted stock as of June 30, 2016, was $1.4 million. The weighted-average period over which the expense is expected to be recognized is 5.0 years.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, stock-based compensation expense recorded in regard to the options and the restricted stock grants totaled $25,000.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates" or similar expressions. Forward – looking statements include:

·
Statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
·
Statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
·
Statements regarding the quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
·
Estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to, among others, the following factors:

·
General economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area, that are worse than expected;
·
The volatility of the financial and securities markets, including changes with respect to the market value of our financial assets;
·
Changes in government regulation affecting financial institutions and the potential expenses associated therewith;
·
Changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our interest margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;
·
Our ability to enter into new markets and/or expand product offerings successfully and take advantage of growth opportunities;
·
Increased competitive pressures among financial services companies;
·
Changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
·
Legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business;
·
Adverse changes in the securities markets;
·
Our ability to successfully manage our growth; and
·
Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and we specifically disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated statements of financial position and revenues and expenses for the periods then ended. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

27

The allowance for loan losses represents our best estimate of losses known and inherent in our loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, we consider the losses inherent in our loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of our loan activities, along with general economic and real estate market conditions. We utilize a two-tier approach: (1) identification of impaired loans for which specific reserves may be established; and (2) establishment of general valuation allowances on the remainder of the loan portfolio. We maintain a loan review system which provides for a systematic review of the loan portfolio and the early identification of potential impaired loans. Such system takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, size of loan, type of collateral and the financial condition of the borrower. Specific loan loss allowances are established for identified loans based on a review of such information and/or appraisals of the underlying collateral. General loan loss allowances are based upon a combination of factors including, but not limited to, actual loan loss experience, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and management's judgment.

In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Although specific and general loan loss allowances are established in accordance with management's best estimate, actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further provisions for loan losses may be necessary in order to increase the level of the allowance for loan losses. For example, our evaluation of the allowance includes consideration of current economic conditions, and a change in economic conditions could reduce the ability of our borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans. This could result in increased delinquencies and increased non-performing loans, and thus a need to make increased provisions to the allowance for loan losses, which would be a charge to income during the period the provision is made, resulting in a reduction to our earnings. A change in economic conditions could also adversely affect the value of the properties collateralizing our real estate loans, resulting in increased charge-offs against the allowance and reduced recoveries, and thus a need to make increased provisions to the allowance for loan losses. Furthermore, a change in the composition of our loan portfolio or growth of our loan portfolio could result in the need for additional provisions.

General. Total assets were $395.9 million at June 30, 2016, compared to $375.7 million at December 31, 2015, an increase of $20.2 million or 5.4%. During the period the Company experienced growth of $30.3 million or 11.5% in loans receivable, net. The investment portfolio declined $25.6 million or 32.4% while Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") stock decreased $393,000, or 21.5% while cash and cash equivalents increased by $16.4 million or 133.4%. During the period the Company experienced deposit growth of $31.0 million, or 11.8% while FHLBNY advances decreased by $10.0 million. Other assets decreased approximately $506,000 or 15.3% due to a reduction in prepaid expenses primarily related to the 2016 services of our previous core provider that was required to be prepaid in 2015.

The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average-interest bearing liabilities was 135.2% for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 as compared to 117.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Loans. Loans receivable, net, increased by $30.3 million or 11.5% from $262.3 million at December 31, 2015 to $292.6 million at June 30, 2016.  Loans receivable, net represented 73.9% of the Company's assets at June 30, 2016 compared to 69.8% at December 31, 2015.  The Bank's commercial
 
28

and multi-family real estate loan portfolio grew by $20.4 million or 34.2% since December 31, 2015; the commercial and industrial portfolio increased by $5.3 million on stronger loan demand, while the construction loan portfolio increased approximately $1.9 million as a result of loans utilizing funds to complete projects.  The residential mortgage portfolio increased $3.2 million to $192.8 million from $189.6 million as of year-end 2015. All remaining portfolios were consistent with year-end levels.

Securities. Our portfolio of securities held to maturity totaled $53.4 million at June 30, 2016 as compared to $79.0 million at December 31, 2015.   Maturities, calls and principal repayments during the six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $25.5 million and no purchases were made during the first six months of 2016.

Deposits. Total deposits at June 30, 2016 were $293.6 million compared with $262.6 million at December 31, 2015.  Overall, deposits increased by $31.0 million with non-interest bearing balances increasing by $6.6 million while interest bearing deposits increased $24.4 million since December 31, 2015 as the Company focused on deposit pricing and the development of deeper customer relationships. Within non-interest bearing accounts, growth was experienced in business checking accounts.  Interest bearing demand accounts increased $19.4 million since December 31, 2015. Savings and club account growth combined with certificates of deposit increased $2.1 million during the quarter.

Borrowings. Total borrowings at June 30, 2016 were $22.7 million compared with $32.7 million at December 31, 2015. Ten million dollars of long-term borrowings matured during the period. There were no overnight advances with the FHLBNY at June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Equity. Stockholders' equity was $75.4 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $76.4 million at December 31, 2015, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 1.3%. The decrease in shareholders' equity was primarily due to the purchase of 112,600 shares of common stock for the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan; 107,403 of those shares were subsequently granted in the form of restricted stock awards. In addition, there was a $382,000 increase in retained earnings related to net income along with a $58,000 decrease in unallocated common stock held by the ESOP which is a contra-equity account.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

General.  The Company had net income of $382,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to net income of $183,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as increases of $854,000 in net interest income and $321,000 of non-interest income were offset by increases of $337,000 in the provision for loan losses and $498,000 in non-interest expense. Non-interest income increased primarily as a result of a $350,000 settlement received from a wire fraud loss that was incurred in the fourth quarter of 2014. Offsetting the increase in income was provision expense related to the loan growth the Company experienced during the year and increases in salaries and benefits, professional fees and service bureau fees. These increases were related to incentive compensation, the core data conversion, and transition to a managed IT solution.
 
During the three month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded net income of $223,000 compared with a net loss for three month period ended June 30, 2015 of $33,000, increases of $446,000 in net interest income and $343,000 in non-interest income were more than offset by increases of $155,000 in the provision for loan losses and $192,000 in non-interest expense. Non-interest income increased primarily as a result of a $350,000 settlement received from a wire fraud loss that was incurred in the fourth quarter of 2014. Offsetting the increase in income was provision expense related to the loan growth the Company experienced during the quarter and an increase in professional fees and service bureau fees. These increases were related to the core data conversion and transition to a managed IT solution.

The Company's net interest margin increased 14 basis points to 3.17% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to 3.03% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The yield on interest-earning assets increased four basis points year over year while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined two basis points. The increase in the yield on interest-earning assets was attributable to the change in our loan mix as the Company increased its commercial real estate portfolio during the quarter. The decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities continues to be attributable to the lower rate environment and a more favorable funding composition comprised of a larger percentage of lower-cost deposit account balances.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the net interest margin increased 13 basis points to 3.15% compared to 3.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The average yield on interest-earning
 
 
31

assets increased two basis points year over year while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined three basis points. Similar to the quarterly discussion, the increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets was attributable to the change in our loan mix as the Company increased its commercial real estate portfolio during the year. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities continues to be attributable to the lower rate environment and a more favorable funding composition comprised of a larger percentage of lower-cost deposit account balances.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses increased by $155,000 to $190,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a provision of $35,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $320,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, compared to a negative provision for loan losses of $17,000 for the year to date period ended June 30, 2015. The increased provision level during the current year period is attributable to the increased size of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2016 compared to June 30, 2015. The Company's management reviews the level of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, (1) the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, (2) current economic conditions, (3) actual losses previously experienced, (4) the Company's level of loan growth and (5) the existing level of reserves for loan losses that are probable and estimable.  The Company had $7.4 million in nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2016 compared to $7.0 million as of June 30, 2015.  The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was 1.31% at June 30, 2016 compared to 1.44% at June 30, 2015, while the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans ratio was 52.14% at June 30, 2016 compared to 51.26% at June 30, 2015.  Non-performing loans to total loans and net charge-offs to average loans outstanding ratios were at 2.50% and 0.04%, respectively, at and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2.81% and 0.03% at and for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $343,000, or 203.0%, to $512,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $169,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to a $350,000 settlement from a wire loss the Company incurred and expensed in the fourth quarter of 2014. Non-interest income was $653,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $332,000 for the comparable 2015 timeframe. The increase of $321,000 or 96.7% year over year primarily resulted from the wire settlement.

Non-Interest Expenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, non-interest expenses increased $192,000 to $2.9 million from $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to professional services and service bureau fees which was partially offset by a decrease in other expenses.  Professional services increased by $177,000 or 90.3% as the Company completed its transition to a managed IT solution and is migrating to a hosted IT solution that was not present in 2015. In addition, the Company began investing in the recruitment and training of its staff.   Service bureau fees increased by $143,000 or 96.0% as the Company completed its full data conversion on May 13, 2016. Expenses are expected to be reduced going forward. Other non-interest expenses declined $76,000 primarily as a result of $150,000 less in expenses related to OREO.

Non-interest expense increased $498,000 to $5.5 million for the year to date period ended June 30, 2016 compared to $5.0 million for the same period ended June 30, 2015.  Salaries and benefits, professional fees and service bureau fees increased by $312,000, $244,000, and $212,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same six month period a year earlier.  The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation and stock option and restricted stock awards granted during the second quarter 2016 as well as normal increases in salaries and benefits expenses and additions to staff.  As previously discussed, the increase in professional services and service bureau fees was primarily the result of the Company's transition to a managed IT solution and subsequent transition to a hosted IT solution and the Company's full data conversion that
 
 
32

was completed on May 13, 2016. Other non-interest expense decreased $231,000 primarily due to no other real estate owned expense incurred during the period ended June 30, 2016.

Income Taxes. The income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $121,000 or 35.2% of the reported income before income taxes compared to a tax benefit of $65,000 or 66.3% of the reported loss before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $197,000 or 34.0% of the reported income before income taxes compared to tax expense of $56,000 or 23.4% of the reported income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Liquidity, Commitments and Capital Resources

The Bank must be capable of meeting its customer obligations at all times. Potential liquidity demands include funding loan commitments, cash withdrawals from deposit accounts and other funding needs as they present themselves. Accordingly, liquidity is measured by our ability to have sufficient cash reserves on hand, at a reasonable cost and/or with minimum losses.

Senior management is responsible for managing our overall liquidity position and risk and is responsible for ensuring that our liquidity needs are being met on both a daily and long term basis. The Financial Review Committee, comprised of senior management and chaired by the President and Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for establishing and reviewing our liquidity procedures, guidelines, and strategy on a periodic basis.

Our approach to managing day-to-day liquidity is measured through our daily calculation of investable funds and/or borrowing needs to ensure adequate liquidity. In addition, senior management constantly evaluates our short-term and long-term liquidity risk and strategy based on current market conditions, outside investment and/or borrowing opportunities, short and long-term economic trends, and anticipated short and long-term liquidity requirements. The Bank's loan and deposit rates may be adjusted as another means of managing short and long-term liquidity needs. We do not at present participate in derivatives or other types of hedging instruments to meet liquidity demands, as we take a conservative approach in managing liquidity.

At June 30, 2016, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $10.7 million, construction loans in process of $4.3 million, unused lines of credit of $23.1 million (including $16.1 million for home equity lines of credit), and standby letters of credit of $359,000. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 2016, totaled $48.7 million.

As of June 30, 2016, the Bank had contractual obligations related to the long-term operating leases for the three branch locations that it leases (Dewy Meadow, RiverWalk and Martinsville).

The Bank generates cash through deposits and/or borrowings from the FHLBNY to meet its day-to-day funding obligations when required.  At June 30, 2016, the total loans receivable to deposits ratio was 101.0%. At June 30, 2016, the Bank's collateralized borrowing limit with the FHLBNY was $62.5 million, of which $22.7 million was outstanding. As of June 30, 2016, the Bank also had a $33.0 million line of credit with two financial institutions for reverse repurchase agreements (which is a form of borrowing) that it could access if necessary.

Consistent with its goals to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, the Bank actively seeks to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution in accordance with regulatory standards. As of June 30, 2016, the Bank exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements.
