NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation: BankFinancial Corporation, a Maryland corporation headquartered in Burr Ridge, Illinois, is the owner of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of BankFinancial, F.S.B. (the “Bank”).
Principles of Consolidation: The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of and transactions of BankFinancial Corporation, the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Financial Assurance Services, Inc. and BF Asset Recovery Corporation (collectively, “the Company”), and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets, other intangible assets, stock-based compensation, impairment of securities and fair value of financial instruments are particularly subject to change and the effect of such change could be material to the financial statements.
Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period’s financial statements to conform them to the current period’s presentation.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FASB ASC 606 - In May 2014, the FASB issued an update (ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers) creating FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts).  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The guidance provides steps to follow to achieve the core principle.  An entity should disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  Qualitative and quantitative information is required about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.  The amendments in this update become effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Amounts reported in earnings per share reflect earnings available to common stockholders for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, exclusive of unearned ESOP shares and unvested restricted stock shares. Stock options and restricted stock are regarded as potential common stock and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent that they would have a dilutive effect if converted to common stock.

The Company evaluates marketable investment securities with significant declines in fair value on a quarterly basis to determine whether they should be considered other-than-temporarily impaired under current accounting guidance, which generally provides that if a marketable security is in an unrealized loss position, whether due to general market conditions or industry or issuer-specific factors, the holder of the securities must assess whether the impairment is other-than-temporary.
Certain residential mortgage-backed securities and certain collateralized mortgage obligations that the Company holds in its investment portfolio were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2014, but the unrealized losses were not considered significant under the Company’s impairment testing methodology. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell these securities, and it is likely that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery occurs.

Nonaccrual loans and impaired loans are defined differently. Some loans may be included in both categories, and some may only be included in one category. Nonaccrual loans include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans.
The Company’s reserve for uncollected loan interest was $1.2 million and $1.3 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Except for purchased impaired loans, when a loan is on non-accrual status and the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. Alternatively, when a loan is on non-accrual status but there is doubt concerning only the ultimate collectability of interest, contractual interest is credited to interest income only when received, under the cash basis method pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 310–10, as applicable. In all cases, the average balances are calculated based on the month–end balances of the financing receivables within the period reported pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 310–10, as applicable.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
The Company evaluates loan extensions or modifications in accordance with FASB ASC 310–40 with respect to the classification of the loan as a TDR. In general, if the Company grants a loan extension or modification to a borrower for other than an insignificant period of time that includes a below–market interest rate, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance or other concession intended to minimize the economic loss to the Company, the loan extension or loan modification is classified as a TDR. In cases where

NOTE 4 - LOANS RECEIVABLE (continued)

borrowers are granted new terms that provide for a reduction of either interest or principal then due and payable, management measures any impairment on the restructured loan in the same manner as for impaired loans as noted above.
The Company had $3.4 million of TDRs at June 30, 2014, compared to $3.3 million at December 31, 2013, with $67,000 and $53,000 in specific valuation reserves allocated to those loans at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company had no outstanding commitments to borrowers whose loans were classified as TDRs at either date.

Periodically, the Company will restructure a note into two separate notes (A/B structure), charging off the entire B portion of the note. The A note is structured with appropriate loan-to-value and cash flow coverage ratios that provide for a high likelihood of repayment. The A note is classified as a non-performing note until the borrower has displayed a historical payment performance for a reasonable time prior to and subsequent to the restructuring. A period of sustained repayment for at least six months generally is required to return the A note to accrual status provided that management has determined that the performance is reasonably expected to continue. The A note will be classified as a restructured note (either performing or nonperforming) through the calendar year of the restructuring that the historical payment performance has been established. These notes will be no longer included in the above tables as a TDR in the subsequent calendar year.
During the three and six months ending June 30, 2014 and 2013, the terms of certain loans were modified and classified as TDRs. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

The TDRs described above decreased interest income by $1,000, resulted in no change to the allowance for loan losses allocated and resulted in charge-offs of $41,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The TDRs had no impact on interest income, resulted in no change to the allowance for loan losses allocated and resulted in no charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.
The TDR that subsequently defaulted had no effect on the allowance for loan losses during the six months ending June 30, 2014.
The terms of certain other loans were modified during the three and six months ending June 30, 2014 and 2013 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. These loans had a total recorded investment of $1.9 million and $506,000 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties or a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant.
In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans based on credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a monthly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

NOTE 4 - LOANS RECEIVABLE (continued)

Special Mention. A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard. Loans categorized as Substandard continue to accrue interest, but exhibit a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. The loans continue to accrue interest because they are well secured and collection of principal and interest is expected within a reasonable time. The risk rating guidance published by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency clarifies that a loan with a well-defined weakness does not have to present a probability of default for the loan to be rated Substandard, and that an individual loan’s loss potential does not have to be distinct for the loan to be rated Substandard.
Nonaccrual. An asset classified Nonaccrual has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard/Performing with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The loans were placed on nonaccrual status.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered “Pass” rated loans.
As of June 30, 2014, based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk categories of loans by class of loans are as follows:

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:
Securities: The fair values of marketable equity securities are generally determined by quoted prices, in active markets, for each specific security (Level 1). If Level 1 measurement inputs are not available for a marketable equity security, we determine its fair value based on the quoted price of a similar security traded in an active market (Level 2). The fair values of debt securities are generally determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities

(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE (continued)

without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2).
Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is evaluated on a pool-level basis. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan or other observable market data, such as outstanding commitments from third party investors (Level 2).
Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally require a partial charge-off and a specific valuation allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These real estate appraisals may include up to three approaches to value: the sales comparison approach, the income approach (for income-producing property) and the cost approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available, if applicable. Such adjustments may be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. In addition, a discount is typically applied to account for sales and holding expenses. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. The method utilized to estimate the fair value of loans does not necessarily represent an exit price.
Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through foreclosure or transfers in lieu of foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. Although the fair value of the property normally will be based on an appraisal (or other evaluation), the valuation should be consistent with the price that a market participant will pay to purchase the property at the measurement date. Circumstances may exist that indicate that the appraised value is not an accurate measurement of the property's current fair value. Examples of such circumstances include changed economic conditions since the last appraisal, stale appraisals, or imprecision and subjectivity in the appraisal process (i.e., actual sales for less than the appraised amount). Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Mortgage Servicing Rights: On a quarterly basis, loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. The fair values of mortgage servicing rights are based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. The Company is able to compare the valuation model inputs and results to widely available published industry data for reasonableness (Level 3).

Impaired loans, including purchased impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral–dependent loans, with specific valuation allowances, had a carrying amount of $4.1 million, with a valuation allowance of $655,000 at June 30, 2014, compared to a carrying amount of $4.2 million, with a valuation allowance of $375,000 at December 31, 2013, resulting in an increase in the provision for loan losses of $280,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Other real estate owned ("OREO"), which is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell, had a carrying value of $1.4 million less a valuation allowance of $915,000, or $475,000 at June 30, 2014, compared to $2.7 million less a valuation allowance of $902,000, or $1.8 million at December 31, 2013. There were $33,000 of valuation adjustments of OREO recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE (continued)

Loans: The estimated fair value for loans has been determined by calculating the present value of future cash flows based on the current rate the Company would charge for similar loans with similar maturities, applied for an estimated time period until the loan is assumed to be repriced or repaid. The estimated fair values of loans held for sale are based on quoted market prices.
FHLBC Stock: It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLBC stock due to the restrictions placed on its transferability.
Deposit Liabilities: The estimated fair value for certificates of deposit has been determined by calculating the present value of future cash flows based on estimates of rates the Company would pay on such deposits, applied for the time period until maturity. The estimated fair values of noninterest-bearing demand, NOW, money market, and savings deposits are assumed to approximate their carrying values as management establishes rates on these deposits at a level that approximates the local market area. Additionally, these deposits can be withdrawn on demand.
Borrowings: The estimated fair values of advances from the FHLBC and notes payable are based on current market rates for similar financing. The estimated fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is assumed to equal its carrying value due to the short-term nature of the liability.
Accrued Interest: The estimated fair values of accrued interest receivable and payable are assumed to equal their carrying value.
Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments: Off-balance-sheet items consist principally of unfunded loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and unused lines of credit. The estimated fair values of unfunded loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and unused lines of credit are not material.
While the above estimates are based on management’s judgment of the most appropriate factors, as of the balance sheet date, there is no assurance that the estimated fair values would have been realized if the assets were disposed of or the liabilities settled at that date, since market values may differ depending on the various circumstances. The estimated fair values would also not apply to subsequent dates.
In addition, other assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments, such as premises and equipment, are not included in the above disclosures.
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains, and other periodic and current reports, press releases and other public stockholder communications of BankFinancial Corporation may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve significant risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to our future plans, strategies and expectations, as well as our future revenues, earnings, losses, financial performance, financial condition, asset quality metrics and future prospects. Forward looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” or similar expressions. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date made. They are frequently based on assumptions that may or may not materialize, and are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements. We intend all forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for the purpose of invoking these safe harbor provisions.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected and which could materially and adversely affect our operating results, financial condition or future prospects include, but are not limited to: (i) the failure of the real estate market to recover or further declines in real estate values that adversely impact the value of our loan collateral and OREO, asset dispositions and the level of borrower equity in their investments; (ii) the persistence or worsening of adverse economic conditions in general and in the Chicago metropolitan area in particular, including high or increasing unemployment levels, that could result in increased delinquencies in our loan portfolio or a decline in the value of our investment securities and the collateral for our loans; (iii) results of supervisory monitoring or examinations by regulatory authorities, including the possibility that a regulatory authority could, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses or adversely change our loan classifications, write-down assets, reduce credit concentrations or maintain specific capital levels; (iv) interest rate movements



29


Table of Contents


and their impact on customer behavior and our net interest margin; (v) less than anticipated loan growth due to a lack of demand for specific loan products, competitive pressures or a dearth of borrowers who meet our underwriting standards; (vi) changes, disruptions or illiquidity in national or global financial markets; (vii) the credit risks of lending activities, including risks that could cause changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and charge-offs or changes in estimates relating to the computation of our allowance for loan losses; (viii) monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve Board; (ix) factors affecting our ability to access deposits or cost-effective funding, and the impact of competitors' pricing initiatives on our deposit products; (x) the impact of new legislation or regulatory changes, including the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III, on our products, services, operations and operating expenses; (xi) higher federal deposit insurance premiums; (xii) higher than expected overhead, infrastructure and compliance costs; (xiii) changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; and (xiv) and our failure to achieve expected synergies and cost savings from acquisitions.
These risks and uncertainties, as well as the Risk Factors set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement in the future, or to reflect circumstances and events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement was made.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the most critical accounting policies upon which our financial condition and results of operation depend, and which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, are included in the discussion entitled “Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, and all amendments thereto, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
Loan origination improved in the second quarter of 2014, particularly with respect to the Company’s target loan categories including multifamily real estate loans and commercial loans related to healthcare and commercial leasing. Loan payoffs increased due to our decision not to compete aggressively for cash-out or non-recourse multifamily and commercial real estate loans as well as timing differentials in healthcare and commercial lease bridge credit facilities. Subject to timing differences similar to those experienced in the second quarter of 2014, we expect to increase loan portfolio balances during the remainder of 2014 consistently with our expectations for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Core earnings per share increased due principally to ongoing improvements in net interest income, non-interest income and core operating expenses. Advertising and marketing expenses increased consistent with the execution of our loan origination objectives. The increase in OREO expense was primarily due to a settlement of litigation involving a Downers Grove National Bank purchased impaired asset.  We believe that continued expense improvement, particularly in non-core operating expenses, may be feasible in future periods. 
Our asset quality continued to improve in the second quarter of 2014.   The provision for loan losses primarily increased due to final and pending dispositions of assets and an adjustment to book value for one multi-family loan placed on non-accrual status in the second quarter of 2014.  Absent currently unforeseen events, we expect to achieve our expectations for asset quality at or before the end of 2014.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013
Total assets decreased $11.3 million, or 0.8%, to $1.442 billion at June 30, 2014, from $1.454 billion at December 31, 2013. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, which was partially offset by an increase in loans. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $27.5 million, or 17.1%, to $133.5 million at June 30, 2014, from $161.0 million at December 31, 2013. Loans increased $19.5 million to $1.118 billion at June 30, 2014, from $1.098 billion at December 31, 2013.
Total liabilities decreased by $14.0 million, or 1.1%, to $1.264 billion at June 30, 2014, from $1.278 billion at December 31, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in certificates of deposits, which was partially offset by increases in non-interest bearing deposits and

savings accounts. Total deposits decreased $15.4 million, or 1.2%, to $1.237 billion at June 30, 2014, from $1.253 billion at December 31, 2013. Certificates of deposit decreased $23.8 million, or 8.6%, to $251.8 million at June 30, 2014, from $275.6 million at December 31, 2013. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $5.1 million, or 4.0%, to $131.8 million at June 30, 2014, from $126.7 million at December 31, 2013. Savings accounts increased $4.7 million, or 3.1%, to $154.3 million at June 30, 2014, from $149.6 million at December 31, 2013. Money market and interest-bearing NOW accounts decreased $1.3 million, or 0.2%, to $699.5 million at June 30, 2014, from $700.8 million at December 31, 2013. Core deposits increased to 79.7% of total deposits at June 30, 2014, from 78.0% of total deposits at December 31, 2013.
Total stockholders’ equity was $178.3 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $175.6 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in total stockholders’ equity was primarily due to the $2.3 million of net income that we recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The unallocated shares of common stock that our ESOP owns were reflected as a $10.8 million reduction to stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2014, compared to an $11.3 million reduction at December 31, 2013.
Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013
Net Income. We had net income of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $76,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Earnings per basic and fully diluted share of common stock were $0.07 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to negligible earnings per share of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $11.3 million for the same period in 2013. The increase reflected a $206,000, or 1.7%, increase in interest income and a $161,000, or 17.2%, decrease in interest expense.
The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to increases in the yield on interest-earning assets which were partially offset by a decrease in net average interest-earning assets. Total average interest-earning assets decreased $3.5 million, or 0.25%, to $1.370 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $1.374 billion for the same period in 2013. Our net interest rate spread increased by 12 basis points to 3.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from 3.25% for the same period in 2013. Our net interest margin increased by 12 basis points to 3.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from 3.31% for the same period in 2013. The increase in the net interest rate spread and net interest margin resulted from higher yields on interest-earning assets and decreases in the average balance and costs of our interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on interest-earning assets increased seven basis points to 3.65% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from 3.58% for the same period in 2013, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased five basis points to 0.28% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from 0.33% for the same period in 2013.

Provision for Loan Losses
We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, we consider past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of nonperforming and other classified loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or events change. We assess the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and make provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance.
The provision for loan losses totaled $957,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $206,000 for the same period in 2013. The provision for loan losses is a function of the allowance for loan loss methodology we use to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for inherent loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted. The portion of the allowance for loan losses attributable to loans collectively evaluated for impairment increased $105,000, or 0.77%, to $13.8 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $13.7 million at March 31, 2014, due to growth in our loan portfolio. Net charge-offs were $686,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Approximately $439,000 in charge offs relates directly to $3.6 million in final or pending dispositions of assets. The reserve established for loans individually evaluated for impairment increased $166,000, or 34.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 97.21% at June 30, 2014, compared to 67.62% at March 31, 2014.
A loan balance is classified as a loss and charged-off when it is confirmed that there is no readily apparent source of repayment for the portion of the loan that is classified as loss. Confirmation can occur upon the receipt of updated third-party appraisal valuation information indicating that there is a low probability of repayment upon sale of the collateral, the final disposition of collateral where the net proceeds are insufficient to pay the loan balance in full, our failure to obtain possession of certain consumer-loan collateral within certain time limits specified by applicable federal regulations, the conclusion of legal proceedings where the borrower’s obligation to repay is legally discharged (such as a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding), or when it appears that further formal collection procedures are not likely to result in net proceeds in excess of the costs to collect.

Noninterest expense decreased by $1.8 million, or 13.9%, to $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $12.8 million for the same period in 2013, due in substantial part to decreases in compensation and benefits expense and nonperforming asset management expense. Compensation and benefits expense decreased $1.1 million, primarily due to a reduction in full time equivalent employees to 276 at June 30, 2014 from 308 at June 30, 2013. Nonperforming asset management expenses decreased $558,000, or 85.2%, to $97,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $655,000 for the same period in 2013, primarily due to a decline in nonperforming assets, a decline in expenses relating to resolutions and accelerated dispositions of nonperforming assets, and a $153,000 reimbursement that we received from two borrowers for legal, receivership and other expenses in connection with the final resolution of their loans. OREO expenses increased $242,000, or 104.3%, to $474,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $232,000 for the same period in 2013. The increase in OREO expense included a $140,000 litigation settlement payment concerning a purchased impaired OREO property. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2014 included a $33,000 OREO valuation adjustment, compared to a $141,000 OREO valuation adjustment for the same period in 2013.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $25,000 of income tax expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded no income tax expense or benefit due to the full valuation allowance we have established for deferred tax assets.
Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013
Net Income. We had net income of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $754,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Our earnings per basic and fully diluted share of common stock was $0.12 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $0.04 per basic and fully diluted share for the same period in 2013.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $23.1 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease reflected a $421,000 decrease in interest income partially offset by a $343,000 decrease in interest expense.
The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to a lower level of average interest-earning assets and a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets. Total average interest-earning assets decreased $7.7 million, or 0.6%, to $1.369 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $1.376 billion for the same period in 2013. Our net interest rate spread increased by one basis point to 3.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from 3.32% for the same period in 2013. Our net interest margin increased by one basis point to 3.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from 3.38% for the same period in 2013. The increase in the net interest spread and margin was a result of a lower cost of funds partially offset by lower yields on interest-earning assets. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased four basis points to 3.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2014,

from 3.66% for the same period in 2013, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased five basis points to 0.29% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from 0.34% for the same period in 2013.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses totaled $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $928,000 for the same period in 2013. The portion of the allowance for loan losses attributable to loans collectively evaluated for impairment remained stable at $13.8 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The reserve established for loans individually evaluated for impairment increased $280,000, or 75.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in the reserve established for loans individually evaluated for impairment was primarily attributable to the establishment of a total of $440,000 in specific reserves for two multifamily loans and two commercial real estate loans, which was partially offset by final charge offs and to a lesser extent recoveries. Net charge-offs were $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2013. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 97.21% at June 30, 2014, compared to 76.89% at December 31, 2013.

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2013, included a $1.4 million gain on sale of loans which included recurring loan sale activity combined with the completion of the sale of the owner-occupied and investor-owned one-to-four family residential loans that we designated as held for sale at December 31, 2012. The completion of this sale represented approximately $1.3 million of the $1.4 million gain on sale of loans that we recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Noninterest expense decreased by $3.8 million, or 14.4%, to $22.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $26.1 million for the same period in 2013. Compensation and benefits expense decreased $1.9 million, or 14.0% primarily due to a reduction in full time equivalent employees to 276 at June 30, 2014 from 308 at June 30, 2013. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included $867,000 of nonperforming asset management and OREO expenses, compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2013. Nonperforming asset management expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 85.1%, to $201,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2013, primarily due to a decline in nonperforming assets, a decline in expenses relating to resolutions and accelerated dispositions of nonperforming assets, and a $153,000 reimbursement that we received from two borrowers for legal, receivership and other expenses in connection with the final resolution of their loans. The most significant decrease in nonperforming asset management expense related to legal expenses, which totaled $144,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $723,000 for the same period in 2013. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included a $77,000 valuation adjustment to OREO properties, compared to a $230,000 valuation adjustment to OREO properties for the same period in 2013. OREO expenses increased $96,000, or 16.4%, to $681,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $585,000 for the same period in 2013. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 also included the payment of $203,000 of settlements concerning two sold mortgage loans. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included a provision of $62,000 for mortgage representation and warranty reserve for mortgage loans sold, compared to $86,000 for the same period 2013 and $53,000 in compensatory fees and final settlements of loans serviced for others. The amount of the warranty and representation reserve was calculated by applying published Fannie Mae data relating to the percentage of loans that it required to be repurchased due to breaches of warranties and representations to the Bank's outstanding sold loans.
Income Taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $42,000 income tax expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded no income tax expense or benefit due to the full valuation allowance we established for deferred tax assets.
Nonperforming Loans and Assets
We review loans on a regular basis, and generally place loans on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. In addition, the Company places loans on nonaccrual status when we do not expect to receive full payment of interest or principal. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are recognized in accordance with our significant accounting policies. Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the borrower must generally demonstrate at least six months of payment performance before the loan is eligible to return to accrual status. We may have loans classified as 90 days or more delinquent and still accruing. Generally, we do not utilize this category of loan classification unless: (1) the loan is repaid in full shortly after the period end date; (2) the

Table of Contents


loan is well secured and there are no asserted or pending legal barriers to its collection; or (3) the borrower has remitted all scheduled payments and is otherwise in substantial compliance with the terms of the loan, but the processing of loan payments actually received or the renewal of the loan has not occurred for administrative reasons. At June 30, 2014, we had one loan in this category for $16,000.
We typically obtain new third–party appraisals or collateral valuations when we place a loan on nonaccrual status, conduct impairment testing or conduct a TDR unless the existing valuation information for the collateral is sufficiently current to comply with the requirements of our Appraisal and Collateral Valuation Policy (“ACV Policy”). We also obtain new third–party appraisals or collateral valuations when the judicial foreclosure process concludes with respect to real estate collateral, and when we otherwise acquire actual or constructive title to real estate collateral. In addition to third–party appraisals, we use updated valuation information based on Multiple Listing Service data, broker opinions of value, actual sales prices of similar assets sold by us and approved sales prices in response to offers to purchase similar assets owned by us to provide interim valuation information for consolidated financial statement and management purposes. Our ACV Policy establishes the maximum useful life of a real estate appraisal at 18 months. Because appraisals and updated valuations utilize historical or “ask–side” data in reaching valuation conclusions, the appraised or updated valuation may or may not reflect the actual sales price that we will receive at the time of sale.
Real estate appraisals may include up to three approaches to value: the sales comparison approach, the income approach (for income-producing property) and the cost approach. Not all appraisals utilize all three approaches. Depending on the nature of the collateral and market conditions, we may emphasize one approach over another in determining the fair value of real estate collateral. Appraisals may also contain different estimates of value based on the level of occupancy or planned future improvements. “As-is” valuations represent an estimate of value based on current market conditions with no changes to the use or condition of the real estate collateral. “As-stabilized” or “as-completed” valuations assume the real estate collateral will be improved to a stated standard or achieve its highest and best use in terms of occupancy. “As-stabilized” or “as-completed” valuations may be subject to a present value adjustment for market conditions or the schedule of improvements.
As part of the asset classification process, we develop an exit strategy for real estate collateral or OREO by assessing overall market conditions, the current use and condition of the asset, and its highest and best use. For most income–producing real estate, we believe that investors value most highly a stable income stream from the asset; consequently, we perform a comparative evaluation to determine whether conducting a sale on an “as–is”, “as–stabilized” or “as–improved” basis is most likely to produce the highest net realizable value. If we determine that the “as–stabilized” or “as–improved” basis is appropriate, we then complete the necessary improvements or tenant stabilization tasks, with the applicable time value discount and improvement expenses incorporated into our estimates of the expected costs to sell. As of June 30, 2014, substantially all impaired real estate loan collateral and OREO were valued on an “as–is basis.”
Estimates of the net realizable value of real estate collateral also include a deduction for the expected costs to sell the collateral or such other deductions from the cash flows resulting from the operation and liquidation of the asset as are appropriate. For most real estate collateral subject to the judicial foreclosure process, we generally apply a 10.0% deduction to the value of the asset to determine the expected costs to sell the asset. This estimate includes one year of real estate taxes, sales commissions and miscellaneous repair and closing costs. If we receive a purchase offer that requires unbudgeted repairs, or if the expected resolution period for the asset exceeds one year, we then include, on a case-by-case basis, the costs of the additional real estate taxes and repairs and any other material holding costs in the expected costs to sell the collateral. For OREO, we generally apply a 7.0% deduction to determine the expected costs to sell, as expenses for real estate taxes and repairs are expensed when incurred.

Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets decreased by $7.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Nonperforming assets totaled $22.6 million at June 30, 2014, $29.6 million at March 31, 2014, and $24.7 million at December 31, 2013. Although we experience occasional isolated instances of new non-accrual loans, we believe that continuing our aggressive resolution posture will maintain the trends favoring very strong asset quality.
At March 31, 2014, one of three lending relationships contributing to the increase of commercial real estate loans was a $2.2 million matured loan that we placed on non-accrual status because a planned external refinancing was not completed by March 31, 2014. The external refinancing was completed early April 2014 and the proceeds were sufficient to repay all amounts due under the loan other than $38,000 of interest. Decreases in multifamily are attributable to the transfer of $1.8 million to other real estate owned combined with receipts of principal payments and sales proceeds.
We continue to experience modest quantities of defaults on residential loans principally due either to the borrower’s personal financial condition or deteriorated collateral value. At June 30, 2014, one residential loan with a balance of $275,000 was manually placed on non-accrual status compared to seven residential loans with total balance of $976,000 in the first quarter of 2014.
Other Real Estate Owned
Real estate that is acquired through foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as OREO until it is sold. When real estate is acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, it is recorded at its fair value, less the estimated costs of disposal. If the fair value of the property is less than the loan balance, the difference is charged against the allowance for loan losses.
The following tables represent the rollfoward of OREO and the composition of OREO properties:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. The overall objective of our liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash funds to meet all financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. We manage liquidity in order to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.
Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and, to a lesser extent, wholesale borrowings, the proceeds from maturing securities and short-term investments, and the proceeds from the sales of loans and securities. The scheduled amortization of loans and securities, as well as proceeds from borrowings, are predictable sources of funds. Other funding sources, however, such as deposit inflows, mortgage prepayments and mortgage loan sales are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments and lines of credit and maturing certificates of deposit that are not renewed or extended. We generally remain fully invested and utilize additional sources of funds through FHLBC advances. We had no outstanding advances at June 30, 2014.
As of June 30, 2014, we were not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that had or were reasonably likely to have a material impact on our liquidity. As of June 30, 2014, we had no other material commitments for capital expenditures.
Capital Management
Capital Management - Bank. The overall objectives of our capital management are to ensure the availability of sufficient capital to support loan, deposit and other asset and liability growth opportunities and to maintain capital to absorb unforeseen losses or write-downs that are inherent in the business risks associated with the banking industry. We seek to balance the need for higher capital levels to address such unforeseen risks and the goal to achieve an adequate return on the capital invested by our stockholders.
The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. Adequately capitalized institutions require regulatory approval to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, a financial institution’s capital distributions, asset growth and expansion are limited, and for the submission of a capital restoration is required.
The Company and the Bank have adopted Capital Plans that requires the Bank to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 12%. The minimum capital ratios set forth in the Capital Plans will be increased and

other minimum capital requirements will be established if and as necessary to comply with the Basel III requirements as such requirements become applicable to the Company and the Bank. In accordance with the Capital Plans, neither the Company nor the Bank will pursue any acquisition or growth opportunity, declare any dividend or conduct any stock repurchase that would cause the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio and/or its Tier 1 leverage ratio to fall below the established minimum capital levels. In addition, the Company will continue to maintain its ability to serve as a source of financial strength to the Bank by holding at least $5.0 million of cash or liquid assets for that purpose.
Actual capital ratios and minimum required ratios for the Bank were:

The Bank was notified that, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, it was considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since those notifications that management believes have changed the Bank’s prompt corrective action capitalization category.
In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that will revise their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the rule establishes a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property.  The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain "available-for-sale" securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt-in or opt-out is exercised.  The rule limits a banking organization's capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a

"capital conservation buffer" consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.
The final rule becomes effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015.  The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective. The final rule also implements consolidated capital requirements for savings and loan holding companies, such as the Company, effective January 1, 2015.  Management is in the process of evaluating the expected impact of these new capital requirements on the Company's and the Bank's regulatory capital position.
Capital Management - Company Total stockholders’ equity was $178.3 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $175.6 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in total stockholders’ equity was primarily due to the $2.3 million net income that we recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The unallocated shares of common stock that our ESOP owns were reflected as a $10.8 million reduction to stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2014, compared to a $11.3 million reduction at December 31, 2013.
Quarterly Cash Dividends. As a result of the regulatory restructuring occasioned by the Dodd-Frank Act, the Company is subject to Federal Reserve Board Supervisory Letter SR 09-4, which outlines the circumstances in which a holding company should, among other things, notify and make a submission to the Federal Reserve Bank prior to declaring a dividend. The Company will continue to consult with, and seek the prior approval of, the Federal Reserve Bank prior to declaring any dividends.
Stock Repurchase Program. Our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 5,047,423 shares of our common stock. The repurchase authorization expired on November 15, 2012. The authorization permitted shares to be repurchased in open market or negotiated transactions, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The authorization was utilized at management's discretion, subject to the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements, and to price and other internal limitations established by the Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had repurchased 4,239,134 shares of its common stock out of the 5,047,423 shares that had been authorized for repurchase. Federal Reserve Board Supervisory Letter SR 09-4 outlines the circumstances in which a holding company should notify and make a submission to the Federal Reserve Bank before redeeming or repurchasing common stock. The Company has no plans to engage in stock repurchases at this time.
ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Qualitative Analysis. A significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results from timing differences in the maturity or repricing of our assets, liabilities and off balance sheet contracts (i.e., forward loan commitments), the effect of loan prepayments and deposit withdrawals, the difference in the behavior of lending and funding rates arising from the use of different indices and “yield curve risk” arising from changing rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities for constant or variable credit risk investments. In addition to directly affecting net interest income, changes in market interest rates can also affect the amount of new loan originations, the ability of borrowers to repay variable rate loans, the volume of loan prepayments and refinancings, the carrying value of investment securities classified as available-for-sale and the flow and mix of deposits.
The general objective of our interest rate risk management is to determine the appropriate level of risk given our business strategy and then manage that risk in a manner that is consistent with our policy to reduce, to the extent possible, the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which consists of certain members of senior management, evaluates the interest rate risk inherent in certain assets and liabilities, our operating environment and capital and liquidity requirements, and modifies our lending, investing and deposit gathering strategies accordingly. The Board of Directors’ Asset/Liability Management Committee then reviews the ALCO’s activities and strategies, the effect of those strategies on our net interest margin, and the effect that changes in market interest rates would have on the economic value of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the intrinsic value of our deposits and borrowings, and reports to the full Board of Directors.
We actively evaluate interest rate risk in connection with our lending, investing and deposit activities. In an effort to better manage interest-rate risk, we have de-emphasized the origination of residential mortgage loans, and have increased our emphasis on the origination of nonresidential real estate loans, multi-family mortgage loans, commercial loans and commercial leases. In addition, depending on market interest rates and our capital and liquidity position, we generally sell all or a portion of our longer-term, fixed-rate residential loans, usually on a servicing-retained basis. Further, we primarily invest in shorter-duration securities, which generally have lower yields compared to longer-term investments. Shortening the average maturity of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term loans and securities, as well as loans with variable rates of interest, helps to better match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Finally, we have classified all of our investment portfolio as available-for-sale so as to provide flexibility in liquidity management.

We utilize a combination of analyses to monitor the Bank’s exposure to changes in interest rates. The economic value of equity analysis is a model that estimates the change in net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. In calculating changes in NPV, we assume estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates that seem most likely based on historical experience during prior interest rate changes.
Our net interest income analysis utilizes the data derived from the dynamic GAP analysis, described below, and applies several additional elements, including actual interest rate indices and margins, contractual limitations such as interest rate floors and caps and the U.S. Treasury yield curve as of the balance sheet date. In addition, we apply consistent parallel yield curve shifts (in both directions) to determine possible changes in net interest income if the theoretical yield curve shifts occurred instantaneously. Net interest income analysis also adjusts the dynamic GAP repricing analysis based on changes in prepayment rates resulting from the parallel yield curve shifts.
Our dynamic GAP analysis determines the relative balance between the repricing of assets and liabilities over multiple periods of time (ranging from overnight to five years). Dynamic GAP analysis includes expected cash flows from loans and mortgage-backed securities, applying prepayment rates based on the differential between the current interest rate and the market interest rate for each loan and security type. This analysis identifies mismatches in the timing of asset and liability repricing but does not necessarily provide an accurate indicator of interest rate risk because it omits the factors incorporated into the net interest income analysis.
Quantitative Analysis. The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2014, the estimated changes in the Bank’s NPV and net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous parallel shift in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

The Company has opted not to include an estimate for a decrease in rates at June 30, 2014 as the results are not relevant given the current targeted fed funds rate of the Federal Open Market Committee. The table set forth above indicates that at June 30, 2014, in the event of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Bank would be expected to experience a 0.05% decrease in NPV and a $2.3 million decrease in net interest income. This data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors, which could reduce the actual impact on NPV and net interest income, if any.
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV and net interest income requires that we make certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The NPV and net interest income table presented above assumes that the composition of our interest-rate-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and, accordingly, the data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors. The table also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or the repricing characteristics of specific assets and liabilities. Because of the shortcomings mentioned above, management considers many additional factors such as projected changes in loan and deposit balances and various projected forward interest rate scenarios when evaluating strategies for managing interest rate risk. Accordingly, although the NPV and net interest income table provides an indication of our sensitivity to interest rate changes at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.
