Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are composed of the accounts of Oritani Financial Corp., its wholly owned subsidiary, Oritani Bank (the "Bank") and the wholly owned subsidiaries of Oritani Bank; Oritani Finance Company, Ormon LLC ("Ormon"), and Oritani Investment Corp., as well as its wholly owned subsidiary, Oritani Asset Corporation (a real estate investment trust), (collectively, the "Company").  Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, all of the adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition and the consolidated results of operations for the unaudited periods presented have been included.  The results of operations and other data presented for the six month period ended December 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.

Certain information and note disclosures usually included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for the preparation of the Form 10-Q.  The consolidated financial statements presented should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company's June 30, 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on August 29, 2017.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 and in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant changes relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses represents management's best estimate of losses known and inherent in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate. While management uses the most current information available to estimate losses on loans, actual losses are dependent on future events and, as such, increases in the allowance for loan losses may be necessary.

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 examination.

2. Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding includes the average number of shares of common stock outstanding and allocated or committed to be released Employee Stock Ownership Plan shares.
 
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the same method as basic earnings per share, but reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised and converted into common stock.  These potentially dilutive shares would then be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method.  When applying the treasury stock method, we add the assumed proceeds from option exercises and the average unamortized compensation costs related to stock options.  We then divide this sum by our average stock price to calculate shares assumed to be repurchased.  The excess of the number of shares issuable over the number of shares assumed to be repurchased is added to basic weighted average common shares to calculate diluted EPS.

The following is a summary of the Company's earnings per share calculations and reconciliation of basic to diluted earnings per share.

For the three months ended December 31, 2016 there were 787 option shares, that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the period.  There were no anti-dilutive shares for the three months ended December 31, 2017.  Anti-dilutive shares for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were 489 and 2,733, respectively.

3. Stock Repurchase Program
 
On March 4, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a fourth stock repurchase plan pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 5% of the outstanding shares, or 2,205,451 shares.   At December 31, 2017, there are 1,884,064 shares yet to be purchased under the current plan.  At  December 31, 2017, a total of  13,282,468  shares had been acquired under repurchase programs at a weighted average cost of  $13.30 per share.  The timing of the repurchases depend on certain factors, including but not limited to, market conditions and prices, the Company's liquidity and capital requirements, and alternative uses of capital.  Repurchased shares will be held as treasury stock and will be available for general corporate purposes.

4. Equity Incentive Plans
 
The 2007 Equity Incentive Plan ("the 2007 Equity Plan") was approved by the Company's stockholders on April 22, 2008, which authorized the issuance of up to 4,172,817 shares of Company common stock pursuant to grants of incentive and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock awards.  The 2011 Equity Incentive Plan ("2011 Equity Plan") was approved by the Company's stockholders on July 26, 2011.  The 2011 Equity Plan authorized the issuance of up to 5,790,849 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to grants of stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, with no more than 1,654,528 of the shares issued as restricted stock awards or restricted stock units.  Employees and outside directors of the Company or Oritani Bank are eligible to receive awards under the Equity Plans.
 
Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the market price of our common stock on the grant date, based on quoted market prices. Stock options generally vest over a five-year service period and expire ten years from issuance.  The vesting of the options accelerate upon death or disability, retirement or a change in control and expire 90 days after termination of service, excluding disability or retirement.  The Company recognizes compensation expense for all option grants over the awards' respective requisite service periods.  Management estimated the fair values of all option grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.   Management estimated the expected life of the options using the simplified method.  The Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant provides the risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option.  The Company classified share-based compensation for employees and outside directors within "compensation, payroll taxes and fringe benefits" in the consolidated statements of income to correspond with the same line item as the cash compensation paid.

There were no options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2017. The fair value of options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2016 was estimated using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the assumptions in the following table.

Restricted stock shares vest over a five-year service period on the anniversary date of the grant. Vesting of the restricted stock shares accelerate upon death or disability, retirement or a change in control. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company's common stock determines the fair value of restricted shares under the Company's restricted stock plan. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company continuously monitors the credit quality of its loan portfolio.  In addition to internal staff, the Company utilizes the services of a third party loan review firm to evaluate the credit quality ratings of its loan receivables.  Credit quality is monitored by reviewing certain credit quality indicators.  Assets classified as "Satisfactory" are deemed to possess average to superior credit quality, requiring no more than normal attention.  Assets classified as "Pass/Watch" have generally acceptable asset quality yet possess higher risk characteristics/circumstances than satisfactory assets.  Such characteristics may include strained liquidity, slow pay, stale financial statements or other circumstances requiring greater attention from bank staff.  We classify an asset as "Special Mention" if the asset has a potential weakness that warrants management's close attention.  Such weaknesses, if left uncorrected, may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects of the asset.  An asset is considered "Substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as "Doubtful" have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.  Included in the Substandard caption are all loans that were past due 90 days (or more) and all impaired loans.

The following table provides information about the loan credit quality at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017:

The Company defines an impaired loan as a loan for which it is probable, based on current information, that the Company will not collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Loans we individually classify as impaired include multifamily, commercial mortgage and construction loans with balances of $1.0 million or more, unless a condition exists for loans less than $1.0 million that would increase the Bank's potential loss exposure.  At December 31, 2017 impaired loans were primarily collateral-dependent and totaled $13.3 million, of which $1,509,000 had a related allowance for credit losses of $100,000 and $11.8 million of impaired loans had no related allowance for credit losses.  At June 30, 2017 impaired loans were primarily collateral-dependent and totaled $13.9 million, of which $538,000  had a related allowance for credit losses of $43,000 and $13.3 million of which had no related allowance for credit losses.


The following table provides information about the Company's impaired loans at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017:
