1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accounting and reporting policies of The First of Long Island Corporation reflect banking industry practice and conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates, such as the allowance for loan losses, and assumptions that affect the reported asset and liability balances and revenue and expense amounts and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The First of Long Island Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Long Island. The Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries: FNY Service Corp., an investment company, and The First of Long Island Agency, Inc., an insurance agency licensed under the laws of the State of New York. The Bank and FNY Service Corp. jointly own another subsidiary, The First of Long Island REIT, Inc., a real estate investment trust. The consolidated entity is referred to as the “Corporation” and the Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Bank.” All intercompany balances and amounts have been eliminated. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The consolidated financial information included herein as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is unaudited. However, such information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. The December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Corporation's December 31, 2012 audited consolidated financial statements. When appropriate, items in the prior year financial statements are reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
2 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income or loss. Other comprehensive income or loss includes revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income but excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income or loss for the Corporation consists of unrealized holding gains or losses on available-for-sale securities and changes in the funded status of the Bank’s defined benefit pension plan. Accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
The components of other comprehensive income or loss and the related tax effects are as follows:

Because the unrealized losses reflected in the preceding tables are deemed by management to be attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit losses, and because management does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, the Bank does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2013.

Sales of Held-to-Maturity Securities. During the first quarter of 2013, the Bank sold municipal securities of two issuers that were classified as held-to-maturity securities. These sales were in response to a significant deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuers. The securities sold had a carrying value of $705,000 at the time of sale and the Bank realized a gain upon sale of $17,000.
Maturities. The following table sets forth by maturity the amortized cost and fair value of the Bank’s state and municipal securities at September 30, 2013 based on the earlier of their stated maturity or, if applicable, their pre-refunded date. The remaining securities in the Bank’s investment securities portfolio are mortgage-backed securities, consisting of pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Although these securities are expected to have substantial periodic repayments they are reflected in the table below in aggregate amounts.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. A restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring when the restructuring includes a concession by the Bank and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. 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. The Bank performs the evaluation under its internal underwriting policy. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Bank modified two loans to a single borrower in a troubled debt restructuring. The loans were a first lien residential mortgage with a pre-modification outstanding recorded investment of $159,000 and interest rate of 6.50% and a junior lien residential mortgage with a pre-modification outstanding recorded investment of $100,000 and interest rate of 3.25%. The restructuring resulted in a single first lien residential mortgage with a post-modification outstanding recorded investment of $259,000 and interest rate of 3.75% which is lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Bank modified one loan in a troubled debt restructuring. The modification converted a business line of credit to a term loan for a period of 3 years with a pre-modification interest rate of 4.75% and a post-modification interest rate of 5.75%.
At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Bank’s allowance for loan losses allocated to specific troubled debt restructurings was $991,000 and $481,000, respectively. The Bank had no commitments to lend additional amounts to loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings.
There were no payment defaults during the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 on loans modified in troubled debt restructurings during the twelve-month period prior to default. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.
Risk Characteristics. Credit risk within the Bank’s loan portfolio primarily stems from factors such as borrower size, geographic concentration, industry concentration, real estate values, local and national economic conditions and environmental impairment of properties securing mortgage loans. The Bank’s commercial loans, including those secured by mortgages, are primarily made to small and medium-sized businesses. Such loans sometimes involve a higher degree of risk than those to larger companies because such businesses may have shorter operating histories, higher debt-to-equity ratios and may lack sophistication in internal record keeping and financial and operational controls. In addition, most of the Bank’s loans are made to businesses and consumers on Long Island and in the boroughs of New York City, and a large percentage of these loans are mortgage loans secured by properties located in those areas. The primary source of repayment for multifamily loans is cash flows from the underlying properties which are dependent on the strength of the local economy.
Credit Quality Indicators. The Corporation categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the borrower’s ability to service their debt including, but not limited to, current financial information for the borrower and any guarantors, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public records and current economic trends.
Commercial and industrial loans and commercial mortgage loans are risk rated utilizing a ten point rating system. The risk ratings along with their definitions are as follows:
1 – 2 | Cash flow is of high quality and stable. Borrower has very good liquidity and ready access to traditional sources of credit. This category also includes loans to borrowers secured by cash and/or marketable securities within approved margin requirements. |
3 – 4 | Cash flow quality is strong, but shows some variability. Borrower has good liquidity and asset quality. Borrower has access to traditional sources of credit with minimal restrictions. |
5 – 6 | Cash flow quality is acceptable but shows some variability. Liquidity varies with operating cycle and assets provide an adequate margin of protection. Borrower has access to traditional sources of credit, but generally on a secured basis. |
7 | Watch - Cash flow has a high degree of variability and subject to economic downturns. Liquidity is strained and the ability of the borrower to access traditional sources of credit is diminished. |
8 | Special Mention - The borrower 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 loan or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to risk sufficient to warrant adverse classification. |
9 | Substandard - Loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. |
10 | Doubtful - Loans have all the inherent weaknesses of those classified substandard 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. |
Risk ratings on commercial and industrial loans and commercial mortgages are initially assigned by the lending officer together with any necessary approval authority. The ratings are periodically reviewed and evaluated through one or more of the following: (1) borrower contact; (2) credit department review; and (3) independent loan review. All commercial and industrial loans and commercial mortgages over $750,000 are generally reviewed by the credit department no less often than annually. The frequency of the review of other loans is determined by the Bank’s ongoing assessments of the borrower’s condition.
Residential mortgage loans, revolving home equity lines and other consumer loans are risk rated utilizing a three point rating system. In most cases, the borrower’s credit score dictates the risk rating. However, regardless of credit score, loans that are on management’s watch list or have been criticized or classified by management are assigned a risk rating of 3. In the risk rating tables that follow, watch, criticized and classified loans are shown separately from other loans assigned a risk rating of 3. A credit score is a tool used in the Bank’s loan approval process, and a minimum score of 680 is generally required for new loans. Credit scores for each borrower are updated at least annually. The risk ratings along with their definitions are as follows:
Internally
Assigned

|
|
1
|
Credit score is equal to or greater than 680.
|
2
|
Credit score is 635 to 679.

Deposit account overdrafts were $255,000 and $632,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Overdrafts are not assigned a risk-rating and are therefore excluded from consumer loans in the above tables.
5 – OTHER ASSETS
During the third quarter of 2013, the Bank entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party to sell the land and building of one of its branch banking offices and to leaseback a portion of the property for a drive-thru facility. The carrying value of the assets to be sold was $280,000 and $292,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and is included in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The sale is currently expected to close during the fourth quarter of this year. The Bank expects to realize a pre-tax gain upon sale of approximately $1.3 million, a portion of which may need to be deferred and recognized over the term of the related lease.
6 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Corporation’s 2006 Stock Compensation Plan (“2006 Plan”) permits the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees and non-employee directors for up to 600,000 shares of common stock of which 125,604 shares remain available for grant as of September 30, 2013. Through December 31, 2011, equity grants to executive officers and directors under the 2006 Plan consisted of a combination of nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”) and RSUs, while equity grants to other officers consisted solely of NQSOs. Beginning with the January 2012 grant, the Corporation’s Board of Directors determined that equity compensation for all officers and directors will consist solely of RSUs.
Fair Value of Stock Option Awards. The grant date fair value of option awards was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were no stock options granted by the Corporation’s Board of Directors during 2012 or the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013.
Fair Value of Restricted Stock Units. The fair value of restricted stock units is based on the market price of the shares underlying the awards on the grant date, discounted for dividends which are not paid on restricted stock units.
Compensation Expense. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized ratably over the five-year vesting period or the period from the grant date to the participant’s eligible retirement date, whichever is shorter. Compensation expense for RSUs is recognized over the three-year performance period and adjusted periodically to reflect the estimated number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock into which the RSUs will ultimately be convertible. However, if the period between the grant date and the grantee’s eligible retirement date is less than three years, compensation expense is recognized ratably over this shorter period. In determining compensation expense for stock options and RSUs outstanding and not yet vested, the Corporation assumes, based on prior experience, that no forfeitures will occur. The Corporation recorded compensation expense for share-based payments of $410,000 and $609,000 and recognized related income tax benefits of $163,000 and $242,000 in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Stock Option Activity. The following table presents a summary of options outstanding under the Corporation’s stock-based compensation plans as of September 30, 2013, and changes during the nine-month period then ended.

All options outstanding at September 30, 2013 are either fully vested or expected to vest. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the first nine months of 2013 and 2012 was $449,000 and $774,000, respectively.
Restricted Stock Activity. On January 22, 2013, the Corporation’s Board of Directors granted 27,576 RSUs under the 2006 Plan. The Corporation’s financial performance for 2015 will determine the number of shares of common stock, if any, into which the RSUs will ultimately be converted. In the table that follows, the number of RSUs granted represents the maximum number of shares into which the RSUs can be converted. The following table presents a summary of the status of the Corporation’s nonvested shares as of September 30, 2013 and the changes in such shares during the nine-month period then ended.

Unrecognized Compensation Cost. As of September 30, 2013, there was $1.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested equity awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Cash Received and Tax Benefits Realized. Cash received from option exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1,101,000 and $2,183,000, respectively. The actual tax benefits realized for the tax deductions from option exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $139,000 and $142,000, respectively.
Other. No cash was used to settle stock options during the first nine months of 2013 or 2012. The Corporation uses newly issued shares to settle stock option exercises and for the conversion of RSUs.

The Bank makes cash contributions to the pension plan (“Plan”) which comply with the funding requirements of applicable Federal laws and regulations. For funding purposes, the laws and regulations set forth both minimum required and maximum tax deductible contributions. The Bank has no minimum required pension contribution and, due to the fact that the Plan is funded beyond most critical statutory thresholds, the Bank has no opportunity to make a tax-deductible contribution for the Plan year ending September 30, 2013.
8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value. When measuring fair value, the Corporation uses a fair value hierarchy, which is designed to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The hierarchy involves three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Corporation’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Corporation deems transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy to have occurred on the date of the event or change in circumstance that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.
The fair values of the Corporation’s investment securities designated as available-for-sale at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are set forth in the tables that follow. These values are determined on a recurring basis using matrix pricing (Level 2 inputs). Matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities, does not rely exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather on the relationship of such securities to other benchmark quoted securities.

Financial instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, are set forth in the table that follows. Real estate appraisals utilized in measuring the fair value of impaired loans may employ a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income 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. In arriving at fair value, the Corporation adjusts the value set forth in the appraisal by deducting costs to sell and a distressed sale adjustment. The adjustments made by the appraisers and the Corporation are deemed to be significant unobservable inputs and therefore typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs used for determining the fair value of impaired loans. Because the Corporation has a small amount of impaired loans measured at fair value, the impact of unobservable inputs on the Corporation’s financial statements is not material.

The impaired loans set forth in the preceding table had a principal balance of $2,802,000 and $2,248,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and valuation allowances of $915,000 and $319,000, respectively. During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2013, the Corporation recorded provisions for loan losses of $596,000 and $408,000, respectively, for impaired loans measured at fair value. During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2012, the Corporation recorded provisions for loan losses of $470,000 and $409,000, respectively, for impaired loans measured at fair value.
Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time. Such estimates are generally subjective in nature and dependent upon a number of significant assumptions associated with each financial instrument or group of similar financial instruments, including estimates of discount rates, risks associated with specific financial instruments, estimates of future cash flows, and relevant available market information. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, fair value estimates do not reflect the value of anticipated future business, premiums or discounts that could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporation’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, or the tax consequences of realizing gains or losses on the sale of financial instruments. The following table sets forth the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value in the Corporation’s financial statements at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Corporation in measuring the fair value of financial instruments disclosed in the preceding table.
Cash and cash equivalents. The recorded book value of cash and cash equivalents is their fair value.
Investment securities. Fair values are based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or derived principally from observable market data.
Loans. The total loan portfolio is divided into three segments: (1) residential mortgages; (2) commercial mortgages and commercial loans; and (3) and consumer loans. Each segment is further divided into pools of loans with similar financial characteristics (i.e. product type, fixed versus variable rate, time to rate reset, length of term, conforming versus nonconforming). Cash flows for each pool, including estimated prepayments if applicable, are discounted utilizing market or internal benchmarks which management believes are reflective of current market rates for similar loan products. The discounted value of the cash flows is reduced by the related allowance for loan losses to arrive at an estimate of fair value.
Restricted stock. The recorded book value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock is their fair value because the stock is redeemable at cost.
Deposit liabilities. The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as checking deposits, money market deposits, NOW accounts and savings deposits, is equal to their recorded book value. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate at which the Bank could currently replace these deposits with wholesale borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Borrowed funds. For short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days, the recorded book value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate at which the Bank could currently replace these borrowings with wholesale borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Accrued interest receivable and payable. For these short-term instruments, the recorded book value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Off-balance-sheet Items. The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered to be material.
9 - IMPACT OF ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
There are no issued but not yet effective accounting standards that could potentially have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
The following is management's discussion and analysis of The First of Long Island Corporation’s financial condition and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements. The Corporation’s financial condition and operating results principally reflect those of its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Long Island, and subsidiaries wholly-owned by the Bank, either directly or indirectly, FNY Service Corp., The First of Long Island REIT, Inc. and The First of Long Island Agency, Inc. The consolidated entity is referred to as the “Corporation” and the Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Bank.” The Bank’s primary service area is Nassau and Suffolk Counties, Long Island. Additionally, the Bank has two commercial banking branches in Manhattan.
Overview
Net income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2013 was $16.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively, representing increases over the same periods last year of 5.1% and 8.2%, respectively. Earnings per share for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2013 were $1.76 and $.56, respectively, representing increases over the same periods last year of 2.9% and 5.7%, respectively. Dividends per share increased by 7.0% from $.71 for the first nine months of 2012 to $.76 for the current nine-month period. The credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio remains excellent and opportunities to lend in the Bank’s marketplace continue.
ROE, ROA and Book Value Per Share. Returns on average equity (“ROE”) and average assets (“ROA”) were 10.62% and .98% for the first nine months of 2013 as compared to 10.35% and 1.00% for the same period last year. Stockholders’ equity decreased from $205.4 million at year-end 2012 to $200.9 million at the end of the third quarter. During the same period, book value per share decreased from $22.81 to $22.05. The decreases in stockholders’ equity and book value per share occurred because the positive impact of retained net income was more than offset by an after-tax decline in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities of $17.1 million resulting from an increase in intermediate and long-term interest rates.
Analysis of Earnings – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013. Net income increased by $783,000 when comparing the first nine months of 2013 to the same period last year. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of $1.2 million, a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $1.1 million and the inclusion in the same period last year of a net loss of $338,000 on a deleveraging transaction. Partially offsetting these items were increases in noninterest expense, excluding debt extinguishment costs, of $1.3 million and income tax expense of $614,000.
The $1.1 million decrease in the provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2013 versus the same period last year is due to a reduction in historical losses, a change in management’s estimate of the impact of current economic conditions on the required allowance for loan losses, and net recoveries in the current nine month period of $95,000 versus net chargeoffs of $915,000 in the same period last year. The impact of these items in reducing the provision was partially offset by more loan growth in the current nine-month period than the same period last year and an increase during the current nine-month period in specific reserves on loans individually deemed to be impaired of $622,000 versus a decrease in the same period last year of $80,000. Although intermediate and long-term interest rates moved up thus far in 2013, they remain at relatively low levels. Because of the sustained low interest rate environment, net interest income for the current nine-month period only increased by $1.2 million, or 2.6%, and net interest margin declined by 14 basis points despite significant growth in the average balances of loans and noninterest-bearing checking deposits.
The $1.3 million increase in noninterest expense is comprised of increases in salaries of $379,000, or 3.1%, employee benefits expense of $220,000, or 5.6%, occupancy and equipment expense of $483,000, or 9.0% and other noninterest expense of $231,000, or 3.6%.
Asset Quality. The Bank’s allowance for loan losses to total loans (reserve coverage ratio) was 1.45% at September 30, 2013 compared to 1.62% at year-end 2012. The $1.8 million provision for loan losses for the first nine months of this year is primarily attributable to the growth in the loan portfolio and an increase in reserves on loans individually deemed to be impaired, as partially offset by net recoveries on loans previously charged off and a decrease in the reserve coverage ratio. The reserve coverage ratio decreased due to a reduction in the amount of allowance deemed necessary to properly account for historical losses and current economic conditions. The $2.9 million provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was mostly attributable to loan growth and $863,000 of chargeoffs on two loans.
The credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio remains excellent, with nonaccrual loans amounting to $5.4 million, or .38% of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2013. Additionally, loans past due 30 through 89 days amounted to only $447,000, or .03% of total loans outstanding. Troubled debt restructurings were relatively unchanged during the first nine months of 2013, amounting to $4.5 million at the end of the period compared to $4.4 million at year-end 2012. Of the $4.5 million in troubled debt restructurings outstanding at September 30, 2013, $1.7 million are performing in accordance with their modified terms and $2.8 million are nonaccrual and included in the aforementioned amounts of nonaccrual loans. The credit quality of the Bank’s securities portfolio also remains excellent. The Bank’s mortgage securities are backed by mortgages underwritten on conventional terms, with 83% of these securities being full faith and credit obligations of the U.S. government and the balance being obligations of U.S. government sponsored entities. The remainder of the Bank’s securities portfolio principally consists of high quality, general obligation municipal securities rated AA or better by major rating agencies. In selecting municipal securities for purchase, the Bank uses credit agency ratings for screening purposes only and then performs its own credit analysis. On an ongoing basis, the Bank periodically assesses the credit strength of the municipal securities in its portfolio and makes decisions to hold or sell based on such assessments.
Capital. The Corporation’s Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios were 8.81%, 15.98% and 17.23%, respectively, at September 30, 2013. The strength of the Corporation’s balance sheet from both a capital and asset quality perspective positions the Corporation for continued growth in a measured and disciplined fashion.
Key Strategic Initiatives. Key strategic initiatives will continue to include loan and deposit growth through effective relationship management, targeted solicitation efforts, new product offerings and continued expansion of the Bank’s branch distribution system. Additionally, with respect to loan growth, the Bank recently established a correspondent lending relationship and will continue to develop its existing broker relationships. All loans originated through correspondent and broker relationships are underwritten by Bank personnel. In 2012, the Bank opened a full service branch in Lindenhurst, Long Island. During 2013, the Bank opened full service branches in Massapequa Park and Sayville, Long Island and is continuing to pursue additional sites for future branch expansion.
Challenges We Face. Although intermediate and long-term interest rates are higher than they were at year-end 2012, they are still relatively low and could remain low for the foreseeable future. In addition, there is significant price competition for loans in the Bank’s marketplace and there is little room for the Bank to further reduce its deposit rates. The persistence of these factors could result in a decline in net interest margin from its current level. If that were to occur, and management is unable to offset the resulting negative impact by increasing the volume of the Bank’s interest-earning assets, effecting a favorable change in the mix of the Bank’s interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, reducing expenses or the employment of other measures, the Bank’s profitability could decline.
Commercial and residential real estate values have been negatively impacted by persistently high levels of unemployment and underemployment, a decline in household disposable income, foreclosures and commercial vacancies. Although economic conditions have improved somewhat thus far this year, these factors still present meaningful threats to the maintenance of loan quality.
The banking industry is currently faced with an ever-increasing number of new and complex regulatory requirements which are putting downward pressure on revenues and upward pressure on required capital levels and the cost of doing business.

(1) Tax-equivalent basis. Interest income on a tax-equivalent basis includes the additional amount of interest income that would have been earned if the Corporation's investment in tax-exempt loans and investment securities had been made in loans and investment securities subject to Federal income taxes yielding the same after-tax income. The tax-equivalent amount of $1.00 of nontaxable income was $1.52 in each period presented, based on a Federal income tax rate of 34%.
(2) For the purpose of these computations, nonaccruing loans are included in the daily average loan amounts outstanding.
Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table sets forth the effect of changes in volumes, rates and rate/volume on tax-equivalent interest income, interest expense and net interest income.

(1) Represents the change not solely attributable to change in rate or change in volume but a combination of these two factors. The rate/volume variance could be allocated between the volume and rate variances shown in the table based on the absolute value of each to the total for both.
Net Interest Income
Despite significant growth in loans and noninterest-bearing checking deposits, net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis only increased by $1.1 million and net interest margin declined by 14 basis points when comparing the current nine month period to the same period last year. This occurred because the positive impact of growth in these balances was largely offset by the low interest rate environment. In a low interest rate environment: (1) the benefit of no cost funding in the form of noninterest-bearing checking deposits and capital is reduced; (2) cash received from payments and prepayments of higher yielding loans and securities is generally used to originate or purchase lower yielding loans and securities; (3) the rates on some loans are modified downward to dissuade borrowers from refinancing elsewhere, while other loans prepay in full resulting in the immediate writeoff of deferred costs; and (4) prepayment speeds on mortgage securities are high, thereby necessitating the rapid amortization of purchase premiums.
Average interest-earning assets increased by $134.2 million, or 6.7%, when comparing the first nine months of 2013 to the same period last year. The increase is primarily comprised of increases in the average balance of loans outstanding of $178.4 million, or 16.9%, and nontaxable securities of $9.4 million, or 2.6%, as partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of taxable securities of $56.9 million, or 10.1%. From a yield perspective, the shift from lower yielding taxable securities to better yielding loans and nontaxable securities resulted in an improvement in the mix of the Bank’s interest-earning assets. Loan growth, to the extent not funded by the decline in taxable securities, was funded by growth in the average balances of noninterest-bearing checking deposits of $95.0 million, or 20.7%, interest-bearing deposits of $67.5 million, or 6.1%, and short-term borrowings of $25.1 million, or 37.8%. Growth in these funding sources was also used to pay down some of the Bank’s higher cost long-term debt. The average balance of long-term debt declined by $47.8 million, or 23.0%, when comparing the nine-month periods. This contributed to a reduction in the overall cost of the Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities and served to mitigate the decline in net interest margin caused by the low interest rate environment.
The Bank’s continued ability to grow loans is attributable to a variety of factors including, among others, competitive pricing, superior customer service, targeted solicitation efforts, advertising campaigns, and broker relationships for both residential and commercial mortgages. The Bank’s ability to continue to grow deposits is attributable to, among other things, expansion of the Bank’s branch distribution system, targeted solicitation of local commercial businesses and municipalities, new and expanded lending relationships, the Bank’s positive reputation in its marketplace and the acquisition of some local competitors by larger financial institutions.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income includes service charges on deposit accounts, Investment Management Division income, gains or losses on sales of securities, and all other items of income, other than interest, resulting from the business activities of the Corporation. Excluding gains on sales of securities, noninterest income increased by $278,000, or 5.6%, when comparing the first nine of 2013 to the same period last year. The increase is attributable to increases in Investment Management Division income of $177,000 and other noninterest income of $183,000, as partially offset by a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of $82,000. The increase in Investment Management Division income of $177,000 is attributable to appreciation in the market value of assets under management and new business. The increase in other noninterest income of $183,000 includes a real estate tax refund of $73,000, an increase in debit and credit card fees of $90,000 and an increase in other credit-related fees of $35,000. Gains on sales of securities decreased by $3.6 million when comparing the first nine months of 2013 to the same period last year as a result of the deleveraging transaction in 2012.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense is comprised of salaries, employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense and other operating expenses incurred in supporting the various business activities of the Corporation. Noninterest expense, excluding debt extinguishment costs, increased by $1.3 million, or 4.7%, to $29.2 million for the first nine months of 2013 from $27.9 million for the same period last year. The $1.3 million increase in noninterest expense is comprised of increases in salaries of $379,000, or 3.1%, employee benefits expense of $220,000, or 5.6%, occupancy and equipment expense of $483,000, or 9.0%, and other noninterest expense of $231,000, or 3.6%. The increase in salaries is primarily due to normal annual salary adjustments and new branch openings, as partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense declined because of a reduction in the estimated number of shares to be issued upon the vesting of restricted stock units and forfeitures of some outstanding awards. The increase in employee benefits expense is primarily attributable to increases in incentive compensation cost, group health insurance expense and payroll tax expense, as partially offset by a decrease in pension expense. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense is largely due to increases in general maintenance and repairs expense, snow removal costs, rent expense and the cost of servicing equipment. The increase in other noninterest expense includes an increase in consulting expense and growth-related increases in FDIC insurance expense and the Bank’s OCC assessment. Debt extinguishment costs of $3.8 million in 2012 resulted from the aforementioned deleveraging transaction. Management continues to maintain a strong focus on expense control measures and enhancements in operating efficiency.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense as a percentage of book income (“effective tax rate”) was 21.4% for the first nine months of 2013 compared to 19.7% for the same period last year. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2013 is primarily attributable to the fact that income on tax-exempt securities became a smaller percentage of pre-tax income.
Results of Operations –Third Quarter 2013 Versus Third Quarter 2012
Net income for the third quarter of 2013 was $5.2 million, an increase of 8.2% over $4.8 million earned in the same quarter last year. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to increases in net interest income of $871,000 and noninterest income of $186,000, as partially offset by increases in noninterest expense and income tax expense of $483,000 and $259,000, respectively. The increases in net interest income and noninterest expense occurred for substantially the same reasons discussed with respect to the nine month periods. The increase in noninterest income was primarily attributable to increases in Investment Management Division income of $107,000 and service charges on deposit accounts of $75,000.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported asset and liability balances and revenue and expense amounts. Our determination of the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate because it is based on our subjective evaluation of a variety of factors at a specific point in time and involves difficult and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. In the event that management’s estimate needs to be adjusted based on, among other things, additional information that comes to light after the estimate is made or changes in circumstances, such adjustment could result in the need for a significantly different allowance for loan losses and thereby materially impact, either positively or negatively, the Bank’s results of operations.
The Bank’s Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Committee (“ALLL Committee”), which is chaired by the Chief Credit Officer, meets on a quarterly basis and is responsible for determining the allowance for loan losses after considering, among other things, the results of credit reviews performed by the Bank’s independent loan review consultants and the Bank’s credit department. In addition, and in consultation with the Bank’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Risk Officer, the ALLL Committee is responsible for implementing and maintaining policies and procedures surrounding the calculation of the required allowance. The Board Loan Committee reviews and approves the Bank’s Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Policy at least once each calendar year. The Bank’s allowance for loan losses is reviewed and ratified by the Board Loan Committee on a quarterly basis and is subject to periodic examination by the OCC whose safety and soundness examination includes a determination as to its adequacy to absorb probable incurred losses.
The first step in determining the allowance for loan losses is to identify loans in the Bank’s portfolio that are individually deemed to be impaired and measure impairment losses based on either the fair value of collateral or the discounted value of expected future cash flows. For all collateral dependent impaired loans, impairment losses are measured based on the fair value of the collateral. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled principal and interest payments when due and according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls are not automatically considered to be impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and financial condition, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. In estimating the fair value of real estate collateral, management utilizes appraisals and also makes qualitative judgments based on, among other things, its knowledge of the local real estate market and analyses of current economic conditions and trends. Estimating the fair value of collateral other than real estate is also subjective in nature and sometimes requires difficult and complex judgments. Determining expected future cash flows can be more subjective than determining fair values. Expected future cash flows could differ significantly, both in timing and amount, from the cash flows actually received over the loan’s remaining life.
In addition to estimating losses for loans individually deemed to be impaired, management also estimates collective impairment losses for pools of loans that are not specifically reviewed. Statistical information regarding the Bank’s loss experience over a period of 24 to 60 months is the starting point in making such estimates. Management believes that this loss period appropriately reflects losses from the current economic cycle and incurred losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio. However, future losses could vary significantly from those experienced in the past, and accordingly on a quarterly basis management adjusts its historical loss experience to reflect current conditions. In doing so, management considers a variety of general qualitative factors and then subjectively determines the weight to assign to each in estimating losses. The factors include, among others: (1) delinquencies, (2) economic conditions as judged by things such as median home prices and commercial vacancy rates in the Bank’s service area and national and local unemployment levels, (3) trends in the nature and volume of loans, (4) concentrations of credit, (5) changes in lending policies and procedures, (6) experience, ability and depth of lending staff, (7) changes in the quality of the loan review function, (8) environmental risks, and (9) loan risk ratings. Because of the nature of the factors and the difficulty in assessing their impact, management’s resulting estimate of losses may not accurately reflect actual losses in the portfolio.
The allowance for loan losses is comprised of impairment losses on loans specifically reviewed and estimated losses on the pools of loans that are collectively reviewed. Although the allowance for loan losses has two separate components, one for impairment losses on individual loans and one for collective impairment losses on pools of loans, the entire allowance for loan losses is available to absorb realized losses as they occur whether they relate to individual loans or pools of loans.
Asset Quality
The Corporation has identified certain assets as risk elements. These assets include nonaccruing loans, other real estate owned, loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments and still accruing and troubled debt restructurings. These assets present more than the normal risk that the Corporation will be unable to eventually collect or realize their full carrying value. Information about the Corporation’s risk elements is set forth below.

The performing troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2012 shown in the table above include $206,000 that were past due 30 through 89 days and still accruing. There were no performing troubled debt restructurings that were past due 30 through 89 days and still accruing at September 30, 2013. In addition to the Bank’s past due, nonaccrual and restructured loans, the disclosure of other potential problem loans can be found in “Note 4 – Loans” to the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q.
Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. When available information confirms that specific loans, or portions thereof, are uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses increased by $1,930,000 during the first nine months of 2013, amounting to $20.6 million, or 1.45% of total loans, at September 30, 2013 compared to $18.6 million, or 1.62% of total loans, at December 31, 2012. During the first nine months of 2013, the Bank had loan chargeoffs and recoveries of $54,000 and $149,000, respectively, and recorded a $1,835,000 provision for loan losses. The $1.8 million provision for loan losses for the first nine months of this year is primarily attributable to the growth in the loan portfolio and an increase in reserves on loans individually deemed to be impaired, as partially offset by net recoveries on loans previously charged off and a decrease in the reserve coverage ratio. The reserve coverage ratio decreased due to a reduction in the amount of allowance deemed necessary to properly account for historical losses and current economic conditions. The $2.9 million provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was mostly attributable to loan growth and $863,000 of chargeoffs on two loans.
The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management currently believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio. As more fully discussed in the “Application of Critical Accounting Policies” section of this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the process for estimating credit losses and determining the allowance for loan losses as of any balance sheet date is subjective in nature and requires material estimates. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Other detailed information on the Bank’s allowance for loan losses, impaired loans and the aging of loans can be found in “Note 4 – Loans” to the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
The amount of future chargeoffs and provisions for loan losses will be affected by, among other things, economic conditions on Long Island and in New York City. Such conditions could affect the financial strength of the Bank’s borrowers and will affect the value of real estate collateral securing the Bank’s mortgage loans. Loans secured by real estate represent approximately 95% of the Bank’s total loans outstanding at September 30, 2013. Most of these loans were made to borrowers domiciled on Long Island and in the boroughs of New York City. Although general economic conditions have improved somewhat thus far this year, in the last few years they have been unfavorable as characterized by high levels of unemployment and underemployment, suppressed commercial and residential real estate values, and high commercial real estate vacancies. These conditions have caused some of the Bank’s borrowers to be unable to make the required contractual payments on their loans and could cause the Bank to be unable to realize the full carrying value of such loans through foreclosure or other collection efforts.
Future provisions and chargeoffs could also be affected by environmental impairment of properties securing the Bank’s mortgage loans. At the present time, management is not aware of any environmental pollution originating on or near properties securing the Bank’s loans that would materially affect the carrying value of such loans.
Cash Flows and Liquidity
Cash Flows. The Corporation’s primary sources of cash are deposits, maturities and amortization of loans and investment securities, operations and borrowings. The Corporation uses cash from these and other sources to fund loan growth, purchase investment securities, repay borrowings, expand and improve its physical facilities, pay cash dividends and for general operating purposes. During the first nine months of 2013, the Corporation’s cash and cash equivalent position increased by $4.8 million from $42.2 million at December 31, 2012 to $47.0 million at September 30, 2013. The increase occurred primarily because cash provided by deposit growth, additional borrowings, maturities and paydowns of loans and securities and operations exceeded the cash used to originate loans and purchase securities. Long-term borrowings increased by $86 million, or 59.3%, to $231 million at September 30, 2013 as a means of protecting future earnings against possible increases in interest rates.
Liquidity. The Bank has a Board committee approved Liquidity Policy and Liquidity Contingency Plan, which are intended to ensure that the Bank has sufficient liquidity at all times to meet the ongoing needs of its customers in terms of credit and deposit outflows, take advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities and respond to liquidity stress conditions should they arise.
The Bank has both internal and external sources of liquidity that can be used to fund loan growth and accommodate deposit outflows. The Bank’s primary internal sources of liquidity are its overnight investments, investment securities designated as available-for-sale, maturities and monthly payments on its investment securities and loan portfolios and operations. At September 30, 2013, the Bank had approximately $460 million of unencumbered available-for-sale securities.
The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRB”) and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB of New York”), has repurchase agreements in place with a number of brokerage firms and commercial banks and has federal funds lines with several commercial banks. In addition to customer deposits, the Bank’s primary external sources of liquidity are secured borrowings from the FRB, FHLB of New York and repurchase agreement counterparties. In addition, the Bank can purchase overnight federal funds under its existing lines. However, the Bank’s FRB membership, FHLB of New York membership, repurchase agreements and federal funds lines do not represent legal commitments to extend credit to the Bank. The amount that the Bank can potentially borrow is currently dependent on, among other things, the amount of unencumbered eligible securities and loans that the Bank can use as collateral and the collateral margins required by the lenders. Based on the securities and loan collateral in place at the FRB and FHLB of New York at September 30, 2013, the Bank had borrowing capacity of approximately $819 million.
Capital
The Corporation’s capital management policy is designed to build and maintain capital levels that exceed regulatory standards. Under regulatory capital standards in effect at September 30, 2013, banks are classified as well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized. Under such standards, a well-capitalized bank is one that has a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 6%, and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10%. The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios of 8.77%, 15.93% and 17.18%, respectively, at September 30, 2013 exceed the requirements for a well-capitalized bank and, based on management’s belief, are adequate in the current regulatory and economic environment. The Corporation (on a consolidated basis) is subject to minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements, which the Corporation exceeds as of September 30, 2013. (See “Recent Regulatory Capital Rulemaking” that follows.)
Stockholders’ equity totaled $200.9 million at September 30, 2013, a decrease of $4.5 million from $205.4 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease resulted primarily from a decline in the after-tax amount of unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities of $17.1 million and cash dividends declared of $6.9 million, partially offset by net income of $16.1 million and the issuance of shares under the Corporation’s stock-based compensation, dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plans of $2.8 million.
Recent Regulatory Capital Rulemaking. In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency approved a final rule (“final rule”) that changes the regulatory capital framework for all banking organizations. The final rule implements for U.S. banks the Basel III regulatory capital reforms of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The final rule strengthens areas of weakness identified in the current capital rules by: (1) enhancing the quantity and quality of regulatory capital in the banking system; (2) better reflecting the risk of certain on and off-balance sheet exposures in the measurement of risk-weighted assets; and (3) building additional capital capacity into the banking system to absorb losses in times of future market and economic stress. Subject to certain transition provisions, banking organizations like the Corporation with $250 billion or less in total assets must comply with the new requirements beginning January 1, 2015.
The final rule establishes new prompt corrective action requirements for all banks and includes a new common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital measure. The capital requirements under the final rule are set forth in the table that follows.

The final rule includes comprehensive guidance with respect to the measurement of risk-weighted assets. For residential mortgages, Basel III retains the risk-weights contained in the current capital rules which assign a risk-weight of 50% to most first-lien exposures and 100% to other residential mortgage exposures. The final rule would increase the risk-weights associated with certain on-balance sheet assets, such as high volatility commercial real estate loans, as defined, and loans that are more than 90 days past due or in nonaccrual status. Capital requirements would also increase for certain off-balance sheet exposures including, for example, loan commitments with an original maturity of one year or less.
Under the final rule, certain banking organizations, including the Corporation, are permitted to make a one-time election to continue the current treatment of excluding from regulatory capital most accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) components, including amounts relating to unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities and amounts attributable to defined benefit postretirement plans. Institutions that elect to exclude most AOCI components from regulatory capital under Basel III will be able to avoid volatility that would otherwise be caused by things such as the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities.
Management is currently reviewing the final rule and evaluating the impact that the changes set forth therein could have on the Corporation’s regulatory capital position, lines of business and profitability.
The Bank invests in interest-earning assets, which are funded by interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, noninterest-bearing deposits and capital. The Bank’s results of operations are subject to risk resulting from interest rate fluctuations generally and having assets and liabilities that have different maturity, repricing, and prepayment/withdrawal characteristics. The Bank defines interest rate risk as the risk that the Bank's net interest income and/or economic value of equity (“EVE”) will change when interest rates change. The principal objective of the Bank’s asset liability management activities is to optimize current and future net interest income while at the same time maintain acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk and facilitate the funding needs of the Bank.
The Bank monitors and manages interest rate risk through a variety of techniques including traditional gap analysis and the use of interest rate sensitivity models. Both gap analysis and interest rate sensitivity modeling involve a variety of significant estimates and assumptions and are done at a specific point in time. Changes in the estimates and assumptions made for gap analysis and interest rate sensitivity modeling could have a significant impact on projected results and conclusions. Therefore, these techniques may not accurately reflect the actual impact of changes in the interest rate environment on the Bank’s net interest income or EVE.
Traditional gap analysis involves arranging the Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by repricing period and then computing the difference, or interest-rate sensitivity gap, between the assets and liabilities which are estimated to reprice during each time period and cumulatively through the end of each time period. Gap analysis requires estimates as to when individual categories of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities will reprice and assumes that assets and liabilities assigned to the same repricing period will reprice at the same time and in the same amount. Gap analysis also assumes that cash flows from maturing assets and liabilities will be reinvested in or refinanced by assets and liabilities of the same type, and does not fully take into account the fact that the repricing of some assets and liabilities is discretionary and subject to competitive and other pressures.
Through use of interest rate sensitivity modeling, the Bank first projects net interest income over a five-year time period assuming a static balance sheet and no changes in interest rates from current levels. Utilization of a static balance sheet ensures that interest rate risk embedded in the Bank’s current balance sheet is not masked by assumed balance sheet growth or contraction. Net interest income is then projected over a five-year time period utilizing: (1) a static balance sheet and various interest rate change scenarios, including both ramped and shock changes; and (2) a most likely balance sheet growth scenario and these same interest rate change scenarios. The interest rate scenarios modeled are based on, among other things, the shape of the current yield curve and the relative level of rates and management’s expectations as to potential future yield curve shapes and rate levels.
The Bank also uses interest rate sensitivity modeling to calculate EVE in the current rate environment assuming both shock increases and decreases in interest rates. EVE is the difference between the present value of expected future cash flows from the Bank’s assets and the present value of the expected future cash flows from the Bank’s liabilities. Present values are determined using discount rates that management believes are reflective of current market conditions. EVE can capture long-term interest rate risk that would not be captured in a five-year projection of net interest income.
In utilizing interest rate sensitivity modeling to project net interest income and calculate EVE, management makes a variety of estimates and assumptions which include, among others, the following: (1) how much and when yields and costs on individual categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities will change in response to projected changes in market interest rates; (2) future cash flows, including prepayments of mortgage assets and calls of municipal securities; (3) cash flow reinvestment assumptions; (4) appropriate discount rates to be applied to loan, deposit and borrowing cash flows; and (5) decay or runoff rates for nonmaturity deposits such as checking, savings, NOW and money market accounts. The repricing of loans and borrowings and the reinvestment of loan and security cash flows are generally assumed to be impacted by the full amount of each assumed rate change, while the repricing of nonmaturity deposits is not. For nonmaturity deposits, management makes estimates of how much and when it will need to change the rates paid on the Bank’s various deposit products in response to changes in general market interest rates. These estimates are based on, among other things, product type, management’s experience with needed deposit rate adjustments in prior interest rate change cycles, and management’s assessment of competitive conditions in its marketplace.
The information provided in the following table is based on a variety of estimates and assumptions that the Corporation believes to be reasonable, the more significant of which are set forth hereinafter. The base case information in the table shows (1) a calculation of the Corporation’s EVE at September 30, 2013 arrived at by discounting estimated future cash flows at rates that management believes are reflective of current market conditions and (2) an estimate of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the year ending September 30, 2014 assuming a static balance sheet, the adjustment of repricing balances to current rate levels, and the reinvestment at current rate levels of cash flows from maturing assets and liabilities in a mix of assets and liabilities that mirrors the Bank’s strategic plan. In addition, in calculating EVE, cash flows for nonmaturity deposits are based on a decay or runoff rate of 5.5 years.
The rate change information in the table shows estimates of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the year ending September 30, 2014 and calculations of EVE at September 30, 2013 assuming rate changes of plus 100, 200 and 300 basis points and minus 100 points. The rate change scenarios were selected based on, among other things, the relative level of current interest rates and are: (1) assumed to be shock or immediate changes, (2) occur uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities, and (3) impact the repricing and reinvestment of all assets and liabilities, except nonmaturity deposits, by the full amount of the rate change. In projecting future net interest income under the indicated rate change scenarios, activity is simulated by assuming that cash flows from maturing assets and liabilities are reinvested in a mix of assets and liabilities that mirrors the Bank’s strategic plan. The changes in EVE from the base case have not been tax affected.

As shown in the preceding table, assuming a static balance sheet, an immediate decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points or an immediate increase in interest rates of 200 or 300 basis points could negatively impact the Bank’s net interest income for the year ended September 30, 2014. Conversely, an immediate increase in interest rates of 100 basis points could positively impact the Bank’s net interest income for the same time period. The Bank’s net interest income could be negatively impacted in a shock down 100 basis point scenario because, among other things, the rates currently being paid on many of the Bank’s deposit products are approaching zero and there is little room to reduce them further. Unlike the shock up 100 basis point scenario, in the shock up 200 or 300 basis point scenarios it is assumed that the Bank will need to make more significant changes to the rates paid on its nonmaturity deposits in order to remain competitive and thus net interest income could be negatively impacted. Changes in management’s estimates as to the rates that will need to be paid on nonmaturity deposits could have a significant impact on the net interest income amounts shown for each scenario in the table.
