NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Critical Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of business - First Northwest Bancorp, a Washington corporation, became the holding company of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles, on January 29, 2015, upon completion of the Bank's conversion from a mutual to stock form of organization (the "Conversion"). In connection with the Conversion, the Company issued an aggregate of 12,167,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of $121.7 million. An additional 933,360 shares of Company common stock and $400,000 in cash were contributed to the First Federal Community Foundation ("Foundation"), a charitable foundation that was established in connection with the Conversion, resulting in the issuance of a total of 13,100,360 shares. The Company received $117.6 million in net proceeds from the stock offering of which $58.4 million were contributed to the Bank upon Conversion. The Bank intends to use this additional capital for future lending and investment activities and for general and other corporate purposes subject to regulatory limitations.

Pursuant to the Bank's Plan of Conversion (the "Plan") adopted by its Board of Directors, and as approved by its members, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") which intends to purchase in the open market 8% of the common stock for a total of 1,048,029 shares with funds borrowed from the Company. As of September 30, 2015, 984,999 shares, or 94.0% of the total, have been purchased by the ESOP.

First Northwest's business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in First Federal. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including the consolidated unaudited financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank.

The Bank provides commercial and consumer banking services to individuals and businesses located primarily on the Olympic Peninsula in the State of Washington. These services include deposit and lending transactions that are supplemented with other borrowing and investing activities.

Basis of presentation - The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended June 30, 2016. In preparing the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to a determination of the allowance for loan losses (ALLL), mortgage servicing rights, fair value of financial instruments, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation of impaired loans and real estate owned and repossessed assets. The Company completed its stock offering and became a public company on January 29, 2015, and therefore earnings per share and share calculations prior to that date are not meaningful.

The Conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and equity unchanged as a result.

Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Northwest Bancorp; its wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal; and First Federal's wholly owned subsidiary, North Olympic Peninsula Services, Inc. ("NOPS"), and majority-owned Craft3 Development IV, LLC. NOPS owns a building currently rented in whole to First Federal. Craft3 is a partnership investment formed to provide a loan qualifying under the New Markets Tax Credit ("NMTC") rules. The Craft3 partnership was a seven year commitment, commensurate with the NMTC period, which expired June 6, 2015. First Federal has entered into a membership redemption and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

assignment agreement to terminate its membership interest in the Craft3 partnership effective September 30, 2015. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Subsequent Events - The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure and determined there are no such events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements - In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805). The ASU simplifies accounting for business combinations by not requiring retrospective adjustments of estimated amounts. Instead, the effect on earnings by line item as a result of changes in provisional amounts will be separately disclosed in the period for which the accounting of the combination is complete. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-16 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications - Certain amounts in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current unaudited financial statement presentation with no effect on net income or stockholders' equity.

The Company may hold certain investment securities in an unrealized loss position that are not considered other than temporarily impaired (OTTI). At September 30, 2015, there were 27 investment securities with $1.7 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $82.4 million. At June 30, 2015, there were 54 investment securities with $2.1 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $157.7 million.

The unrealized losses on investment and mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate changes. Certain investments in a loss position are guaranteed by government entities or government sponsored entities. It is expected that securities in a loss position would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and the Company does not intend to sell the securities and believes it is not likely it will be required to sell these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other than temporarily impaired.

There were no OTTI losses during the three months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company maintains a general allowance for loan losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, including management’s continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, and current and anticipated economic conditions. The reserve is an estimate based upon factors and trends identified by management at the time the financial statements are prepared.

The following tables summarize changes in the ALLL and loan portfolio by segment and impairment method for the periods shown:

Impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when First Federal has determined that it may be unable to collect payments of principal or interest when due under the contractual terms of the loan. In the process of identifying loans as impaired, management takes into consideration factors that include payment history and status, collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments in the future. Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically do not result in a loan being classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and shortfalls is considered by management on a case-by-case basis after taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loans and the borrowers, including payment history and amounts of any payment shortfall, length and reason for delay, and likelihood of return to stable performance. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for all loans in the portfolio except smaller balance homogeneous loans and certain qualifying troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") loans.

Credit quality indicator. Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities, as substandard, doubtful, or loss; risk ratings 6, 7, and 8 in our 8-point risk rating system, respectively. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and pay capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that First Federal will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

When First Federal classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish a specific allowance to address the risk specifically or First Federal may allow the loss to be addressed in the general allowance. General allowances represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities but that, unlike specific allowances, have not been specifically allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as a loss, it is required to charge off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Assets that do not currently expose First Federal to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but possess identified weaknesses are designated as either watch or special mention assets; risk ratings 4 and 5 in our risk rating system, respectively. At September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, First Federal had $7.4 million and $9.9 million, respectively, of loans classified as substandard and no loans classified as doubtful or loss. Loans not otherwise classified are considered pass graded loans and are rated 1-3 in our risk rating system.

Additionally, First Federal categorizes loans as performing or nonperforming based on payment activity. Loans that are more than 90 days past due and nonaccrual loans are considered nonperforming.

Troubled debt restructuring. A TDR is a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty that has been modified from its original terms and conditions in such a way that First Federal is granting the borrower a concession of some kind. First Federal has granted a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications. The modifications granted can generally be described in the following categories:

Rate modification - A modification in which the interest rate is changed.

Term modification - A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments, or frequency of payments is changed.

Payment modification - A modification in which the dollar amount of the payment is changed. Interest-only modifications in which a loan is converted to interest-only payments for a period of time are included in this category.

Combination modification - Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple categories above.

Upon identifying a receivable as a TDR loan, First Federal classifies the loan as impaired for purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses. This requires the loan to be evaluated individually for impairment, generally based on the expected cash flows under the new terms discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rates. For TDR loans that subsequently default, the method of determining impairment is generally the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs.

TDR loans may be upgraded in their classification and placed on accrual status once there is a sustained period of repayment performance, usually six months or longer, and there is a reasonable assurance that repayment will continue. First Federal allows reclassification of a troubled debt restructuring back into the general loan pool (as a non-troubled debt restructuring) if the borrower is able to refinance the loan at then-current market rates and meet all of the underwriting criteria of First Federal required of other borrowers. The refinance must be based on the borrower’s ability to repay the debt and no special concessions of rate and/or term are granted to the borrower.

Note 5 - Federal Taxes on Income

As a result of the bad debt deductions taken in years prior to 1988, retained earnings include accumulated earnings of approximately $6.4 million, on which federal income taxes have not been provided. If, in the future, this portion of retained earnings is used for any purpose other than to absorb losses on loans or on property acquired through foreclosure, federal income taxes may be imposed at the then-prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not contemplate that such amounts will be used for any purpose that would create a federal income tax liability; therefore, no provision has been made.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. These calculations are based on many complex factors including estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal income tax laws, and a determination of the differences between the tax and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

Under current Federal income tax regulations, charitable contribution deductions are limited to 10% of taxable income. The Company currently has a deferred tax asset of $3.3 million and related valuation allowance of $1.9 million for financial statement reporting purposes related to its contribution to the Foundation. The contribution carryforward and related valuation allowance will expire in 2020. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates whether its deferred tax assets will be realized and adjusts the amount of its valuation allowance, if necessary. The valuation allowance was $1.9 million and $1.9 million at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively. The total net deferred tax asset (liability) was $(115,000) and $188,000 at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 740 that require the application of a more-likely-than-not recognition criterion for the reporting of uncertain tax positions on its financial statements. The Company had no unrecognized tax assets at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company recognizes interest and penalties in income tax expense. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending before June 30, 2012.

Note 6 - Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same amount at September 30, 2015 as the Company does not have any additional potential dilutive common shares.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Note 7 - Employee Benefits

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

In connection with the Conversion, the Company established an ESOP for eligible employees of the Company and the Bank. Employees of the Company and the Bank who have been credited with at least 1,000 hours of service during a 12-month period are eligible to participate in the ESOP.

Pursuant to the Plan, the ESOP intends to purchase in the open market 8% of the common stock for a total of 1,048,029 shares with funds borrowed from the Company. As of September 30, 2015, 984,999 shares, or 94.0% of the total, have been purchased in the open market at an average price of $12.37 per share. It is anticipated that the Bank will make contributions to the ESOP in amounts necessary to amortize the ESOP loan payable to the Company over a period of 20 years. At September 30, 2015, the weighted average interest rate paid on the ESOP loan payable was 2.45% per annum.

Shares purchased by the ESOP with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account and allocated to ESOP participants on a pro rata basis as principal and interest payments are made annually by the ESOP to the Company. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank's discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on the ESOP assets. Payments of principal and interest are due annually on June 30. No payment of principal or interest was made during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the average daily market prices of the shares and the shares become outstanding for EPS computations. The compensation expense is accrued monthly throughout the year. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest.

Compensation expense related to the ESOP for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $148,000.

Note 8 - Fair Value Accounting and Measurement

Fair value is the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the Company’s principal market. The Company has established and documented its process for determining the fair values of its assets and liabilities, where applicable. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available, for identical or similar assets or liabilities. In the absence of quoted market prices, management determines the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities using valuation models or third-party pricing services, both of which rely on market-based parameters when available, such as interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and credit spreads, or unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs may be based on management’s judgment, assumptions, and estimates related to credit quality, liquidity, interest rates, and other relevant inputs.

Any changes to valuation methodologies are reviewed by management to ensure they are relevant and justified. Valuation methodologies are refined as more market-based data becomes available.

A three-level valuation hierarchy is used in determining fair value that is based on the transparency of the inputs used in the valuation process. The inputs used in determining fair value in each of the three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Either: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; (ii) observable inputs, such as interest rates or yield curves; or (iii) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs.

The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to Level 1 inputs and the lowest ranking to Level 3 inputs. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques - Securities available for sale: where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified as Level 1. Level 1 instruments include highly liquid government bonds, securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, and exchange-traded equity securities.

If quoted prices are not available, management determines fair value using pricing models, quoted prices of similar securities, which are considered Level 2, or discounted cash flows. In certain cases, where there is limited activity in the market for a particular instrument, assumptions must be made to determine their fair value. Such instruments are classified as Level 3.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis - Assets are considered to be fair valued on a nonrecurring basis if the fair value measurement of the instrument does not necessarily result in a change in the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Generally, nonrecurring valuation is the result of the application of other accounting pronouncements that require assets or liabilities to be assessed for impairment or recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities other than investment securities are not traded in active markets. Estimated fair values require subjective judgments and are approximate. The estimates of fair value in the previous table are not necessarily representative of amounts that could be realized in actual market transactions, or of the underlying value of the Company. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company's financial instruments:

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Financial instruments with book value equal to fair value - The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value equal to book value. These instruments include cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks, loans held for sale, FHLB stock, accrued interest receivable, and accrued interest payable. FHLB stock is not publicly traded, however, it may be redeemed on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for any amount the Bank is not required to hold, subject to the FHLB's discretion. The fair value is therefore equal to the book value.

Securities - Fair values for investment securities are primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. The pricing service uses evaluated pricing models based on market data. In the event that limited or less transparent information is provided by the third-party pricing service, fair value is estimated using secondary pricing services or non-binding third-party broker quotes.

Loans receivable, net - Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, including fixed and variable one- to four-family residential real estate, commercial, and consumer loans. There is an accurate and reliable secondary market for one- to four-family residential mortgage production, and available market benchmarks are used to establish discount factors for estimating fair value for these types of loans. Commercial and consumer loans use market benchmarks when available; however, due to the varied term structures and credit issues involved, they mainly rely on cash flow projections and repricing characteristics within the loan portfolio. These amounts are discounted further by embedded probable losses expected to be realized in the portfolio.

Valuations of impaired loans, real estate owned and repossessed assets are periodically performed by management, and the fair values of these loans are carried at the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell. Fair value of the underlying collateral may be determined using an appraisal performed by a qualified independent appraiser.

Mortgage servicing rights - The estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.

Deposits - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing deposits, savings and interest checking accounts, and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings - The fair value of FHLB advances and other borrowings are calculated using a discounted cash flow method, adjusted for market interest rates and terms to maturity.

Off-balance-sheet financial instruments - Commitments to extend credit represent all off-balance-sheet financial instruments. The fair value of these commitments is not significant.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward‑looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact, are based on certain assumptions and are generally identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or similar expressions.

•	statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;


•	statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;


•	statements regarding the quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and


•	estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

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


•	changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area, that are worse than expected;


•	the credit risks of our lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses that may be impacted by deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets;


•	fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes, land and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market area;


•	a decrease in the secondary market demand for loans that we originate for sale;


•	management’s assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;


•	our ability to control operating costs and expenses, especially new costs associated with our operation as a public company;


•	whether our management team can implement our operational strategy;


•	our ability to successfully integrate any newly acquired assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and management personnel into our operations and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames and any goodwill charges related thereto;


•	our success in opening new branches:


•	increases in premiums for deposit insurance;


•	the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation;


•	changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long-term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources;


•	increased competitive pressures among financial services companies;


•	our ability to attract and retain deposits;


•	changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;


•	our ability to successfully manage our growth in compliance with regulatory requirements;

•

results of examinations of us by the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, Department of Banks, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, or other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings;


•	legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business, including the effects of the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III, changes in regulatory policies and principles, or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules;


•	adverse changes in the securities markets;


•	changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institutions regulatory agencies, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board or the Financial Accounting Standards Board;


•	costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments;


•	inability of key third-party vendors to perform their obligations to us; and


•	other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services and other risks described elsewhere in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Form 10-Q.

These developments could have an adverse impact on our financial position and our results of operations.

General

First Northwest Bancorp (or the "Company") is a bank holding company which primarily engages in the business activity of its subsidiary, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles ("First Federal" or the "Bank"). First Federal is a community-oriented financial institution primarily serving the North Olympic Peninsula region of Washington through our nine full-service banking offices. In addition, we have opened another full-service banking office in Bellingham, Washington during our fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2015. We offer a wide range of products and services focused on the lending and depository needs of the communities we serve. Historically, lending activities have been primarily directed toward the origination of first lien one- to four-family mortgage loans, and, to a lesser extent, commercial and multi-family real estate loans, construction and land loans (including lot loans), commercial business loans, and consumer loans, consisting primarily of home equity loans and lines of credit. During the past decade, recognizing our need to adapt to changing market conditions, we have revised our operating strategy to diversify our loan portfolio, expand our deposit product offerings and enhance our infrastructure. We have increased the origination of commercial real estate and multi-family real estate loans, and decreased reliance on originating and retaining longer-term, fixed-rate, residential mortgage loans. Since 2010, we have generally sold most newly originated and refinanced, conforming single-family owner-occupied mortgage loans into the secondary market, although in 2012, we began selectively retaining 30-year fixed-rate mortgages in the portfolio in an effort to enhance our net interest income. We have historically offered traditional consumer and business deposit products, including transaction accounts, savings and money market accounts and certificates of deposit for individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations. Deposits are our primary source of funds for our lending and investing activities.

First Federal is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, available

alternative investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles.

Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest that we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services, including service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage banking income, earnings from bank-owned life insurance, and gains and losses from sales of securities.

An offset to net interest income is the provision for loan losses, which represents the periodic charge to operations which is required to adequately provide for probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. As a loan's risk rating improves, property values increase, or recoveries of amounts previously charged off are received, a recapture of previously recognized provision for loan losses may be added to net interest income.

The noninterest expenses we incur in operating our business consist of salaries and employee benefits and expenses, occupancy and equipment expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments, data processing expenses, expenses related to real estate and personal property owned and other miscellaneous expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits consist primarily of salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for health insurance, retirement plans and other employee benefits, including employee compensation expenses stemming from recognition of expense related to the ESOP and the adoption of new equity benefit plans. We cannot determine the actual amount of these new stock-related compensation and benefit expenses at this time because applicable accounting practices require that they be based on the fair market value of the shares of common stock at specific points in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015

Assets. Total assets increased $21.3 million, or 2.3%, to $958.1 million at September 30, 2015, from $936.8 million at June 30, 2015, primarily due to an increase of $17.5 million, or 4.9%, in total investment securities to $378.1 million at September 30, 2015, as a result of deploying additional cash received from the inflow of deposits during the quarter. Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $9.4 million, or 1.9%, to $497.3 million at September 30, 2015, from $487.9 million at June 30, 2015.

Gross loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $9.7 million, or 2.0%, to $503.6 million at September 30, 2015, from $493.9 million at June 30, 2015. The portfolio increase was mainly attributable to an increase in commercial real estate loans of $5.8 million, or 4.6%, to $131.5 million at September 30, 2015 from $125.6 million at June 30, 2015, and an increase in multi-family loans of $1.5 million, or 4.5%, to $34.6 million at September 30, 2015 from $33.1 million at June 30, 2015, as we continue to focus on increasing our commercial loan portfolio as a percentage of total loans. Additionally, we saw an increase in construction and land loans during the three months ended September 30, 2015, of $3.0 million, as successful business development efforts throughout the state of Washington begin to produce additional loan volumes for the Bank. There were $32.8 million in undisbursed construction commitments at September 30, 2015, of which $5.0 million consisted of mainly custom one- to four-family residential construction; $16.1 million was commercial multi-family construction, primarily located in Snohomish and King Counties; $10.6 million was commercial real estate, consisting of a hotel construction project in Franklin County; and $1.0 million was for commercial acquisition and development projects.

The following table shows our construction commitments by type and geographic concentrations at September 30, 2015.



	Olympic Peninsula		Puget Sound Region		Other Washington		Total

Total undisbursed	$	3,044	$	19,005	$	10,711	$	32,760

The one- to four-family residential portfolio also increased $1.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, as we chose to keep loans originated in our portfolio rather than sell into the secondary market. These increases were partially offset by decreases to home equity and commercial business loans of $963,000 and $906,000, respectively.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company originated $63.2 million of loans, of which $20.8 million, or 32.9%, were originated in the North Olympic Peninsula, $31.0 million, or 49.0%, in the Puget Sound region of Washington, and $11.4 million, or 18.1%, in other areas in Washington. The Company did not purchase any loans during the quarter.

Our allowance for loan losses remained the same at $7.1 million, or 1.4% of total loans, at June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015, as improved credit quality measures have been sufficient to cover reserves for loan growth, as well as reserves for changes in the mix of loans, during these periods.

Loans receivable, excluding loans held for sale, consisted of the following at the dates indicated:

Nonperforming loans decreased $1.1 million, or 22.4%, to $3.8 million at September 30, 2015, from $4.9 million at June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of a decrease in nonperforming one- to four-family loans of $1.1 million. Real estate owned and repossessed assets decreased $1.4 million, or 73.7%, to $563,000 at September 30, 2015 from $1.9 million at June 30, 2015, primarily due to the sale of a $1.4 million commercial real estate property. Nonperforming loans to total loans declined from 1.0% at June 30, 2015 to 0.8% at September 30, 2015. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased 28.1% from 145.6% at June 30, 2015 to 186.5% at September 30, 2015.

At September 30, 2015, there were $7.6 million in restructured loans, of which $5.7 million were performing in accordance with their modified payment terms and returned to accrual status. Classified loans decreased by $2.5 million, or 25.3%, to $7.4 million at September 30, 2015, from $9.9 million at June 30, 2015. Loans 30 days or more past due decreased $1.0 million, or 41.7%, to $1.4 million at September 30, 2015, from $2.4 million at June 30, 2015.

The following table represents nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.

At September 30, 2015, total investment securities increased $17.5 million, or 4.9%, to $378.1 million at September 30, 2015, from $360.6 million at June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of deploying additional cash received from the inflow of customer deposits during the quarter. Mortgage-backed securities represent the largest portion of our investment securities portfolio and totaled $240.0 million at September 30, 2015, an increase of $9.7 million, or 4.2%, from $230.3 million at June 30, 2015, primarily due to the purchase of a variable rate corporate mortgage-backed security. Other investment securities, including municipal bonds, were $138.1 million at September 30, 2015, an increase of $7.9 million, or 6.1% from $130.2 million at June 30, 2015, primarily due to the purchase of municipal bonds, the states of the issuers being California, Michigan, and New York. The estimated modified duration of the investment portfolio was 4.4 at September 30, 2015, compared to 4.7 at June 30, 2015. Management continues to focus on improving the mix of earning assets by originating loans and decreasing securities as a percentage of earning assets, however, will continue to purchase investments as a source of interest income in lieu of carrying higher cash balances at nominal interest rates.

Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $19.8 million, or 2.7%, to $765.9 million at September 30, 2015, from $746.1 million at June 30, 2015. This increase was primarily the result of deposit account balances increasing $19.8 million, or 3.1%, to $666.9 million at September 30, 2015, from $647.2 million at June 30, 2015. Transaction, savings, and money market account deposits increased $21.7 million, or 4.3%, to $520.9 million at September 30, 2015 from $499.2 million at June 30, 2015. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit of $1.9 million, or 1.3%, to $146.0 million at September 30, 2015, from $147.9 million at June 30, 2015. Increases in deposits were primarily the result of targeted promotional efforts in new market areas, and commercial demand deposit accounts increased $9.3 million during the quarter as we continued to focus on relationship development within our commercial lines of business.

Borrowings decreased $109,000, or 0.1%, from $90.0 million at June 30, 2015 to $89.9 million at September 30, 2015, as a long-term borrowing matured during the quarter. Borrowings remaining at September 30, 2015 consisted of long term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Equity. Total equity increased $1.6 million, or 0.8%, to $192.3 million at September 30, 2015, from $190.7 million at June 30, 2015. The increase was a result of net income of $1.2 million and an increase in other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $592,000 due to increases in the market value of our available for sale

securities, partially offset by a decrease related to additional unearned ESOP shares purchased during the quarter of $390,000.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

General. The Company recorded net income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 of $1.2 million compared to net income of $849,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $379,000, or 44.6%. This increase was primarily the result of interest income on investment securities purchased using proceeds received from our stock offering.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $774,000 to $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was the result of an increase in interest income partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

The net interest margin decreased 18 basis points to 2.76% for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from 2.94% for the same period in 2014. The net interest margin declined due primarily to proceeds from the stock offering that have been deployed into the investment portfolio at lower average yields compared to the loan portfolio. The average balance of cash and cash equivalents increased $19.3 million from $22.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 to $42.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Of the $774,000 increase in net interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, $709,000 was the result of an increase in volume while $65,000 was attributable to changes in rates. Investment and mortgage-backed securities were the primary contributors to the increase in net interest income with a $723,000 increase due to volume and a $175,000 increase due to rate. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased four basis points to 0.75% for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 0.71% for the same period in the prior year, due primarily to increases in the average balance of certificates of deposit and money market account deposits at higher rates compared to the prior year.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased $894,000, or 13.5%, to $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $6.6 million for the comparable period in 2014. Interest income on loans decreased $27,000, or 0.5%, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarily reflecting a decrease in loan yields of three basis points compared to the same period in the prior year, as higher yielding loans continued to pay off and were replaced with loans at lower interest rates.

Interest income on investment securities increased $472,000 to $789,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $317,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The average balance of our investment securities increased $73.8 million to $136.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $63.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as net proceeds received from the stock offering was used to purchase investment securities. The yield on investment securities for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased 30 basis points due primarily to investments purchased with higher yields during the comparable period in 2014.

Interest income on mortgage backed securities increased $426,000 primarily due to an increase in average balance of $75.0 million from $165.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 to $240.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The yield on mortgage-backed securities for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased 12 basis points primarily due to investments purchased with higher yields compared to the same period in 2014.

The following table compares average earning asset balances, associated yields, and resulting changes in interest income for the periods shown:



	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2015				2014

Total interest-earning assets	$	914,198	3.29		$	750,363	3.53		$	894

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $120,000, or 10.8%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $1.1 million at September 30, 2014. Deposit costs increased for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to higher average balances and an increase in rates paid on money market accounts and certificates of deposit as the result of targeted promotional efforts in new and existing market areas.

The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $34.7 million, or 6.5%, to $566.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $531.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was attributable to increases in the average balances for savings accounts of $4.5 million, money market accounts of $19.5 million, and certificates of deposit of $14.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in transaction accounts of $3.9 million. The increase in the average balance of deposit accounts was primarily the result of market expansion, with pricing promotions primarily offered through our newest branch located in Silverdale, Washington on money market and certificates of deposit. We have also increased our focus on increasing our commercial business deposits as we develop commercial lending relationships.

Borrowing costs declined $10,000 to $726,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $736,000 for the comparable period in 2014 due to a slight decline in the average balance of borrowings.

Total interest-bearing liabilities	$	656,330	0.75		$	623,097	0.71		$	120

Provision for Loan Losses. There was no provision for loan losses during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014. This was primarily the result of continued improvement in our asset quality as reflected in the decrease in classified loans as well as in our ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans. These improvements are primarily a result of improving economic conditions allowing some borrowers to better their financial condition. Management considers the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2015 to be adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such

estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment or information available to them at the time of their examination.

The following table details activity and information related to the allowance for loan losses for the periods shown:



	Three Months Ended September 30,

Nonaccrual and 90 days or more past due loans as a percentage of total loans	0.8		%	1.2		%
Total loans	$	503,622		$	496,500

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $121,000, or 10.6%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of increases in loan and deposit service fees of $94,000 and in other income of $98,000, partially offset by a decrease in net gain on sale of loans of $55,000. Loan and deposit service fees increased primarily as a result of a change in our deposit fee structure, and other income increased primarily due to income realized on the redemption of the investment in our Craft3 subsidiary at the conclusion of the new markets tax credit period. The decline in the gain on sale of loans between the periods was the result of decreased loan sales as we retained most of our longer-term, fixed-rate mortgage loan originations as part of our efforts to increase net interest margin while staying consistent with our management of interest rate risk.

The following table provides a detailed analysis of the changes in the components of noninterest income for the periods shown:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Increase (Decrease)
	2015		2014		Amount			Percent

Other income	195		97		98			101.0
Total noninterest income	$	1,263	$	1,142	$	121		10.6	%

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $398,000, or 7.2%, to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2014. Compensation and benefits increased $233,000 compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of certain market rate and merit increase adjustments for employees and management and increased employee benefits expenses, including expenses related to the employee stock ownership plan. We have also incurred additional noninterest expenses during the quarter compared to the same period last year relating to doing business as a public company, including increases in professional fees of $291,000. Other expense increased $199,000, primarily as a result of increased professional development fees for management and staff and an increase in expense for reserves for unused commitments,

primarily commercial construction projects. These expenses exceeded the benefit of a $426,000 decrease in expenses related to real estate owned and repossessed assets, primarily due to a $352,000 gain on the sale of commercial real estate owned, during three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the comparable period in 2014.

The following table provides an analysis of the changes in the components of noninterest expense for the periods shown:

Provision for Income Tax. An income tax expense of $417,000 was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $299,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This was generally due to an increase in income before taxes of $497,000.

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields/Cost

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest‑earning assets and interest expense on average interest‑bearing liabilities, resultant yields, interest rate spread, net interest margin (otherwise known as net yield on interest‑earning assets), and the ratio of average interest‑earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities. Also presented are the weighted average yields on interest-earning assets, rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant spread at September 30, 2015 and 2014. Income and all average balances are monthly average balances, which management deems to be not materially different than daily averages. Nonaccruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and due to the changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

In the normal course of operations, First Federal engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in the financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended June 30, 2015, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

At September 30, 2015, our scheduled maturities of contractual obligations were as follows:

Liquidity Management

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term and long-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities and borrowings from the FHLB. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are usually predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and borrowed funds, and prepayments on loans and investment securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition, which can cause those sources of funds to fluctuate.

Management regularly adjusts our investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of the expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, the yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our interest-rate risk and investment policies.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents followed by available for sale securities. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents totaled $38.6 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, whose aggregate market value exceeds cost, provide additional sources of liquidity and had a market value of $318.2 million at September 30, 2015. In addition, at September 30, 2015, we had FHLB stock of $4.8 million and have pledged collateral to support borrowings from the FHLB of $89.9 million. We have also established a borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco; however, no collateral has been pledged as of September 30, 2015.

At September 30, 2015, we had $581,000 in loan commitments outstanding and an additional $64.6 million in undisbursed loans and standby letters of credit, including $32.8 million in undisbursed construction loan commitments.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2015 totaled $76.7 million, or 52.5% of certificates of deposit. The large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers' hesitancy to invest their funds for longer periods at historically low interest rates. Management believes, based on past experience, that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will be renewed or rolled into money market accounts. If these maturing deposits are not renewed, however, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on certificates of deposit. In addition, we believe that our branch network, which is presently comprised of nine full-service retail banking offices located throughout our primary market area, and the general cash flows from our existing lending and investment activities, will afford us sufficient long-term liquidity. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Capital Resources

First Federal is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC. Capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require First Federal to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital.

At September 30, 2015, First Federal exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for First Federal to maintain a “well-capitalized” status under the capital categories of the FDIC. Based on capital levels at September 30, 2015, First Federal was considered to be well-capitalized.

The following table shows the capital ratios of First Federal at September 30, 2015.



	Actual					Minimum Capital Requirements				Minimum Required to Be Well-Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
					(Dollars in thousands)
Tier 1 Capital to total adjusted assets⁽¹⁾	$	130,551	14.3	%		$	36,423	4.0	%	$	45,529	5.0	%
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets⁽²⁾	130,551		23.4			25,088		4.5		36,239		6.5
Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets⁽²⁾	130,551		23.4			33,451		6.0		44,601		8.0
Total Capital to risk-weighted assets⁽²⁾	137,524		24.7			44,601		8.0		55,752		10.0

______________

(1) Based on adjusted average assets of $910.6 million.

(2) Based on risk-weighted assets of $557.5 million.

Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. For a bank holding company with less than $1.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary banks to be well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices. The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented in this report have been prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which require the measurement of financial and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs and the effect that general inflation may have on both short-term and long-term interest rates. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Although inflation expectations do affect

interest rates, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in First Northwest Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), and other members of the Company's management team as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2015, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company also continued to implement suggestions from its internal auditor and independent auditors to strengthen existing controls.

The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent every error or instance of fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
