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 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 real estate 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"), the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, 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 Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the statement of financial condition date of June 30, 2017, 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 4, 2017, certain directors, executive officers and directors emeriti executed options to purchase 212,468 shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $9.4323. In lieu of issuing shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such options, the Company made a cash payment to such optionees equal to the excess of the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on August 4, 2017 of $17.30 over the per share exercise price of such options of $9.4323 multiplied by the number of options being exercised. An aggregate of $1.7 million was paid to the optionees.

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 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, 2017 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 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.

Note 2 – Basis of Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)

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 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 GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 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 GAAP. The standard was initially effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, 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).

The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2015-14 which states that public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.

The FASB also subsequently issued ASUs Nos. 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12, 2016-20 and 2017-05 to augment, amend and clarify the original pronouncement. Other than significantly increased disclosure, we do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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.

Note 2 – Basis of Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)

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 currently expect that upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities will be recognized in our consolidated statements of condition in amounts that will be material; however, we do not expect a material impact to our consolidated income statement.

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. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017, did not have a material impact 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, including adoption in the interim or annual period provided that the entire standard is adopted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements. We have taken steps to begin preparations for implementation, such as evaluating changes to our current loss recognition model and evaluating the potential use of outside professionals for an updated model.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15; Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in this Update address the following eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice: (1) debt prepayments or debt extinguishment cost (cash outflow-financing), (2) settlement of debt instruments with coupon interest rates insignificant to the effective interest rate, interest payment (cash outflow-operating), or principal payment (cash outflow-financing), (3) contingent consideration payments made soon after a business combination (cash outflow-investing), (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims (classification on basis of the nature of each loss), (5) proceeds from the corporate/bank-owned life insurance, proceeds (cash inflow-investing), payments (cash outflow-investing/operating), (6) distribution received from equity method investees, cumulative earnings approach (cash inflow-investing), nature of distribution approach (cash inflow-operating/investing), (7) beneficial interest in securitization transactions, assets (noncash transaction), cash receipts from trade receivable (cash inflow-investing), (8) separately identifiable cash flows (classified based on source-financing/investing/operating). The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Basis of Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)

In February 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" ("ASU 2017-07"). To improve the consistency, transparency, and usefulness of financial information for users, the amendments in ASU 2017-07 require that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost and report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. It also requires the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. The amendments in ASU 2017-07 are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in ASU 2017-07 should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. We intend to adopt ASU 2017-07 during the first quarter of 2018 and it will have no effect on our results of operations because it only impacts the presentation of certain information on the statements of income.

In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, "Receivables —Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities" ("ASU 2017-08"). ASU 2017-08 amends guidance on the amortization period of premiums on certain purchased callable debt securities. Specifically, the amendments shorten the amortization period of premiums on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The amendments affect all entities that hold investments in callable debt securities that have an amortized cost basis in excess of the amount that is repayable by the issuer at the earliest call date. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The effect of ASU 2017-08 would be lower interest income and a corresponding lower yield as the amortization period would be shortened. As of June 30, 2017 we do not hold any callable debt securities that were purchased at a premium. We intend to adopt ASU 2017-08 during the first quarter of 2019.

In May 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-09, "Scope of Modification Accounting," which clarifies Topic 718, "Compensation – Stock Compensation," such that an entity must apply modification accounting to changes in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award unless all of the following criteria are met: (1) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification (the ASU indicates that if the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique used to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification); (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the modification; and (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the modification. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 2017, management concluded that the unrealized losses summarized above (which related to five U.S. Government agency bonds, thirteen mortgage-backed securities, three corporate bonds, two state and political subdivision securities and three certificate of deposits, compared to five U.S. Government agency bonds, fourteen mortgage-backed securities, six corporate bonds, eight state and political subdivision bonds, and one certificate of deposit as of December 31, 2016) 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.

Note 5 - Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

The composition of loans receivable at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was as follows:

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.

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

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and the average balances of such loans for the six months and year, respectively, then ended:

The average balance of impaired loans for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 was $16.2 million and $16.9 million, respectively.

Management uses a nine 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 Bank's rating categories are as follows:

1 – 5: The first five risk rating categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as "Pass" rated.

6: "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.

7: "Substandard" loans 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. This includes loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.

8: "Doubtful" loans 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.

9: "Loss" loans are considered uncollectible and subsequently charged off.

Management further monitors the performance and credit quality of the residential 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.

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 the loan's 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, is considered in the determination of an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses.

The recorded investment balance of TDRs totaled $11.8 million at June 30, 2017 compared with $10.7 million at December 31, 2016. The majority of the Company's TDRs are on accrual status. Accruing TDRs totaled $9.2 million at June 30, 2017 versus $8.5 million at December 31, 2016. The total of TDRs on non-accrual status was $2.6 million at June 30, 2017 and $2.2 million at December 31, 2016.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the terms of five loans were modified into two TDRs. The Company refinanced and consolidated a one-to-four family loan and three commercial loans into a multi-family & commercial loan with an adjustable interest rate from a fixed interest rate. In addition, the Company refinanced a one-to-four family loan and capitalized the interest. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company did not modify any loans as a TDR.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the terms of twelve loans were modified into five TDRs. The Company refinanced and consolidated a one-to-four family and one home equity mortgage loan which was restructured to an adjustable interest rate from a fixed interest rate. In addition, the Company restructured a one-to-four family loan, a home equity loan and a commercial line of credit. These loans were consolidated into one one-to-four family TDR with an extended maturity date. The Company restructured a commercial loan and a multi-family real estate loan into one TDR and extended the maturity date. The Company refinanced and consolidated a one-to-four family loan and three commercial loans into a multi-family & commercial loan with an adjustable interest rate from a fixed interest rate. In addition, the Company refinanced a one-to-four family loan and capitalized the interest. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company did not modify any loans as a TDR.

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

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, 2017 and 2016.

There was no Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. We may obtain physical possession of residential real estate collateralizing consumer mortgage loans via foreclosure or in-substance repossession. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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.

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

	As of June 30, 2017
	Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Level 3 Inputs		Total Fair Value

A 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.

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

The following presents the carrying amount and the fair value as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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.

(1) Includes impaired loans measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as discussed above.

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.

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the commitments to extend credit was not considered to be material.

Note 7 – Retirement Plans

Periodic expenses for the Company's retirement plans, which include the Directors' Retirement Plan and the Executive Incentive Retirement Plan, were as follows:

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.

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.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016

General. Total assets were $507.1 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $461.6 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of $45.5 million or 9.9%. During the period the Company experienced growth of $58.4 million, or 15.9%, in loans receivable, net. Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") stock increased $830,000, or 57.9%, due to increased borrowings during the period. The Company increased its FHLBNY overnight borrowings by $16.0 million, or 70.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Offsetting these increases were a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $12.3 million, or 57.8%, and a decrease in securities, held to maturity of $1.7 million, or 3.8% from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017.

The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average-interest bearing liabilities was 126.1% for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 135.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Loans. Loans receivable, net, increased by $58.4 million, or 15.9%, from $368.0 million at December 31, 2016 to $426.4 million at June 30, 2017. Loans receivable, net represented 84.1% of the Company's assets at June 30, 2017 compared to 79.7% at December 31, 2016. The Bank's commercial and multi-family real estate loan portfolio grew by $29.3 million or 23.5% since December 31, 2016; the commercial and industrial portfolio increased by $22.4 million on stronger loan demand, while the construction loan portfolio increased approximately $6.3 million as a result of loans utilizing funds to complete projects. The residential mortgage portfolio increased $673,000 to $193.5 million from $192.8 million as of year-end 2016. All remaining portfolios were consistent with year-end levels.

Securities. Our portfolio of securities held to maturity totaled $42.4 million at June 30, 2017 as compared to $44.1 million at December 31, 2016. Maturities, calls and principal repayments during the six months ended June 30, 2017 totaled $2.8 million and one purchase totaling $1.2 million was made during the first six months of 2017.

Deposits. Total deposits at June 30, 2017 were $390.1 million compared with $362.3 million at December 31, 2016. Overall, deposits increased by $27.8 million, or 7.7%, with growth occurring in consumer deposits offset by a few large business relationships utilizing cash for their business needs. The Company experienced growth in the non-transactional categories with an increase of $25.3 million in certificates of deposit, $4.5 million in money market accounts, and $2.4 million in savings accounts while transactional accounts decreased $4.5 million.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

General. The Company had net income of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to net income of $382,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, as an increase of $1.8 million in net interest income was offset by a decrease of $247,000 in non-interest income and increases of $175,000 in the provision for loan losses and $417,000 in income tax expense. Non-interest income decreased primarily as a result of a $350,000 settlement received in six months ended June 30, 2016 from a wire fraud loss that was incurred in the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase in the provision expense was related to the loan growth the Company experienced during the year.

During the three month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded net income of $732,000 compared with net income for three month period ended June 30, 2016 of $223,000, resulting from an increase of $993,000 in net interest income, offset by a decrease of $293,000 in non-interest income and increases of $110,000 in the provision for loan losses and $172,000 in income tax expense. Non-interest income decreased primarily as a result of a $350,000 settlement received in three months ended June 30, 2016 from a wire fraud loss that was incurred in the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase in provision expense related to the loan growth the Company experienced during the quarter.

The Company's net interest margin increased 18 basis points to 3.35% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to 3.17% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by 30 basis points year over year while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased nine basis points. The increase in the yield on interest-earning assets was attributable to the increase in commercial loan volume during the quarter. The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was attributable to the increase in percentage of certificates of deposit in the deposit portfolio year over year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the net interest margin increased 17 basis points to 3.32% compared to 3.15% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 26 basis points year over year and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased seven basis points. Similar to the quarterly discussion, the increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets was attributable to the increase in commercial loan volume year over year. The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was attributable to the increase in percentage of certificates of deposit in the deposit portfolio year over year.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses increased by $110,000 to $300,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to a provision of $190,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $495,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to a provision for $320,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. The increased provision level during the current year period is attributable to the increased size of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2016. 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 $6.9 million in nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2016 compared to $7.4 million as of June 30, 2016. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was 1.14% at June 30, 2017 compared to 1.31% at June 30, 2016, while the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans ratio was 71.21% at June 30, 2017 compared to 52.14% at June 30, 2016. Non-performing loans to total loans and net charge-offs to average loans outstanding ratios were at 1.60% and 0.02%, respectively, at and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 2.50% and 0.04% at and for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $293,000, or 57.2%, to $219,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $512,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decreased was primarily attributable to a $350,000 settlement received during the 2016 period from a wire loss the Company incurred and expensed in the fourth quarter of 2014. Non-interest income was $406,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $653,000 for the comparable 2016 timeframe. The decrease of $247,000, or 37.8%, year over year primarily resulted from the wire settlement.

Non-Interest Expenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, non-interest expenses decreased $91,000 to $2.8 million from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily attributable to service bureau fees, partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits. Service bureau fees decreased by $243,000 or 83.2% as the Company completed its full data conversion on May 13, 2016. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $118,000, or 8.1%, as the need for increased staffing occurred. In addition, stock options and restricted stock awards were granted during June 2016. The 2017 periods reflect additional expense associated with such awards. Occupancy and Equipment expenses increased $81,000, or 23.3% primarily due to software depreciation expenses on the core system. Directors' compensation increased $63,000, or 50.8% primarily due to the termination of the directors' retirement plan as well as the expense associated with stock options and restricted stock awards.

Non-interest expense increased $62,000 to $5.5 million for the year to date period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period ended June 30, 2016. Salaries and benefits, Occupancy and Equipment and professional services increased by $197,000, $141,000, and $96,000, respectively, for the six-months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same six month period a year earlier. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to an increase need in staffing as well as the expense associated with the stock options and restricted stock awards granted during June 2016. As previously discussed, the decrease in service bureau fees was primarily the result of the Company's full data conversion that was completed on May 13, 2016. Directors' compensation increased $136,000, or 59.9% primarily due to the termination of the directors' retirement plan as well as the expense associated with stock options and restricted stock awards.

Income Taxes. The income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $293,000 or 28.6% of the reported income before income taxes compared to a tax expense of $121,000 or 35.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $614,000, or 32.4% of the reported income before income taxes, compared to tax expense of $197,000, or 34.0% of the reported income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The change in tax rate is a result of a permanent tax deduction due to restricted stock that vested during the quarter in addition to non-qualified stock options that were exercised during the quarter.

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, 2017, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $19.4 million, construction loans in process of $13.3 million, unused lines of credit of $51.2 million (including $35.9 million for commercial lines of credit and $12.8 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, 2017, totaled $57.2 million.

As of June 30, 2017, the Bank had contractual obligations related to the long-term operating leases for the three branch locations that it leases (Loan Production Office, 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, 2017, the total loans receivable to deposits ratio was 109.3%. At June 30, 2017, the Bank's collateralized borrowing limit with the FHLBNY was $79.3 million, of which $38.7 million was outstanding. As of June 30, 2017, the Bank also had a $13.0 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, 2017, the Company and the Bank exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements.
