Summary

OceanFirst Financial Corp. is the holding company for OceanFirst Bank (the “Bank”), a community bank serving Ocean and Monmouth Counties in New Jersey. The term the “Company” refers to OceanFirst Financial Corp., OceanFirst Bank and all of the Bank’s subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company also generates non-interest income such as income from loan sales, loan servicing, loan originations, trust and asset management services, the sale of investment products, merchant credit card services, deposit accounts, and other fees. The Company’s operating expenses primarily consist of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, marketing, data processing, federal deposit insurance and general and administrative expenses. The Company’s results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory agencies.

Interest-earning assets, both loans and securities, are generally priced against longer-term indices, while interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings, are generally priced against shorter-term indices. Beginning in the second half of 2011 and through the first quarter of 2013, the Company’s net interest margin has generally contracted. Due to the low interest rate environment, high loan refinance volume caused yields on loans and mortgage-backed securities to trend downward. At the same time, the Company’s asset mix has shifted as higher-yielding loans have decreased due to prepayments and the sale of newly-originated 30-year fixed-rate one-to-four family loans while lower-yielding securities have increased. Although high loan refinance volume and shifting asset mix continued into the second quarter of 2013, the Company’s net interest margin nonetheless expanded slightly as the Company invested excess liquidity and managed funding costs lower. Based upon current economic conditions, the Federal Reserve has indicated that it intends to keep short-term interest rates at current levels through mid-2015. Longer-term interest rates have recently increased, resulting in a steeper yield curve. While the impact of these factors on the Company’s financial results is difficult to predict, management anticipates further pressure on the net interest margin in subsequent quarters. In addition to the interest rate environment, the Company’s results are affected by national and local economic conditions. Recent economic indicators point to some improvement in the economy, which expanded modestly in 2012 and through the first half of 2013. Labor market conditions also improved as the national unemployment rate in the first half of 2013 decreased over prior year levels. Despite these signs, the overall economy remains weak and the unemployment rate remains at an elevated level. Additionally, housing values remain significantly below their peak levels in 2006. These economic conditions have generally had an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Highlights of the Company’s financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were as follows:

Total assets increased to $2.306 billion at June 30, 2013, from $2.269 billion at December 31, 2012. Mortgage-backed securities available for sale increased by $58.7 million, to $392.6 million at June 30, 2013, as compared to $333.9 million at December 31, 2012. Loans receivable, net decreased $17.5 million at June 30, 2013, as compared to December 31, 2012 primarily due to prepayments and the sale of newly-originated 30-year fixed-rate one-to-four family loans. Deposits decreased by $15.9 million at June 30, 2013, as compared to December 31, 2012.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased to $5.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $5.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share for the corresponding prior year period due to higher operating expenses and lower net interest income, partly offset by a reduction in the provision for loan losses and higher other income.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased to $17.5 million, as compared to $18.4 million in the same prior year period, reflecting a lower net interest margin partly offset by slightly higher interest-earning assets. The net interest margin decreased to 3.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 3.39% for the corresponding prior year period and stabilized as compared to the 3.16% reported in the linked prior quarter.

The provision for loan losses was $800,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $1.7 million in the same prior year period due to reductions in net charge-offs and loans receivable, net. The Company’s non-performing loans increased $2.5 million, to $45.9 million at June 30, 2013, from $43.4 million at December 31, 2012. The increase was expected as it was all related to loans adversely affected by superstorm Sandy which were identified and provided for in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Other income increased to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $4.5 million in the same prior year period. Trust and asset management revenue, fees and service charges and the net gain (loss) from other real estate operations improved while the net gain on sales of loans and investment securities both declined.

The Company remains well-capitalized with a tangible common equity ratio of 9.38%.

Return on average stockholders’ equity was 9.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 9.79% for the corresponding prior year period.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them.

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown except where noted otherwise. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields and costs include certain fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

Loans receivable, net, decreased by $17.5 million, to $1.506 billion at June 30, 2013 from $1.523 billion at December 31, 2012, primarily due to prepayments and sale of newly-originated 30-year fixed-rate one-to-four family loans.

Deposits decreased by $15.9 million, to $1.704 billion at June 30, 2013, from $1.720 billion at December 31, 2012. The mix of deposits changed as non-interest-bearing deposits and savings deposits increased by $40.9 million and $36.5 million, respectively, while interest-bearing checking and time deposits decreased $84.0 million and $14.0 million, respectively. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase with retail customers increased by $10.3 million, to $71.0 million at June 30, 2013, from $60.8 million at December 31, 2012. Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances increased $44.4 million, to $269.4 million at June 30, 2013, from $225.0 million at December 31, 2012.

Stockholders’ equity decreased to $216.3 million at June 30, 2013, as compared to $219.8 million at December 31, 2012. Net income for the period was offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $4.9 million related to the unrealized loss on securities available for sale caused by the recent rise in interest rates, the repurchase of 314,961 shares of common stock for $4.5 million (average cost per share of $14.33) and the cash dividends on common stock of $4.2 million. At June 30, 2013, there were 519,823 shares remaining to be repurchased under the stock repurchase program adopted in the fourth quarter of 2012. Tangible stockholders’ equity per common share increased to $12.29 at June 30, 2013 as compared to $12.28 at December 31, 2012 primarily due to the reduction in shares outstanding.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012

General

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased to $5.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $5.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share for the corresponding prior year period, due to higher operating expenses and lower net interest income, partly offset by reductions in the provision for loan losses and higher other income. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased to $9.4 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $11.0 million, or $0.61 per diluted share for the corresponding prior year period due to lower net interest income, lower other income and higher operating expenses, partly offset by a reduction in the provision for loan losses.

Interest Income

Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $20.2 million and $40.2 million, respectively, as compared to $22.0 million and $44.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The yield on interest-earning assets declined to 3.69% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 4.06% and 4.13% for the same prior year periods. Average interest-earning assets increased by $13.9 million and $8.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same prior year periods. The increases in average interest-earning assets were primarily due to the increases in average investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale, which collectively increased $87.0 million and $48.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. These increases were partly offset by a decrease in average loans receivable, net, of $52.1 million and $47.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same prior year period.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively, as compared to $3.7 million and $7.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.56% and 0.59%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to 0.78% and 0.79%, respectively, in the same prior year periods. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $8.4 million and $14.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same prior year periods. The decreases were due to declines in average borrowed funds of $8.5 million and $20.1 million, respectively, and average time deposits of $33.2 million and $34.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same prior year periods, partly offset by an increase in average transaction deposits of $33.3 million and $40.0 million. The growth in average interest-earning assets was funded by increases in average non-interest-bearing deposits of $35.6 million and $34.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 3013 as compared to the same prior year periods.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased to $17.5 million and $34.7 million, respectively, as compared to $18.4 million and $37.5 million in the same prior year periods, reflecting a lower net interest margin partly offset by slightly higher interest-earning assets. The net interest margin decreased to 3.21% and 3.19%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, from 3.39% and 3.45% in the same prior year periods due to a change in the mix of average interest-earning assets from higher-yielding loans receivable into lower-yielding investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale. High loan refinance volume also caused yields on loans and mortgage-backed securities to trend downward.

Provision for Loan Losses

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the provision for loan losses was $800,000 and $1.9 million, respectively, as compared to $1.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for the corresponding prior year periods. The decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was partly due to reductions of $1.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in net charge-offs as compared to the same prior year periods and a reduction in loans receivable, net at June 30, 2013 as compared to both December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012. Non-performing loans increased $2.5 million at June 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012, driven fully by an increase of $3.7 million in loans adversely affected by superstorm Sandy. These loans were identified at December 31, 2012 and potential losses were provided for at that time.

Other Income

Other income increased to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $4.5 million in the same prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, other income decreased to $8.2 million as compared to $8.9 million in the same prior year period. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 trust and asset management revenue, fees and service charges and the net gain (loss) from other real estate operations improved while the net gain on sales of loans available for sale and the net gain on the sale of investment securities available for sale declined. Effective January 1, 2013, income from the origination of reverse mortgage loans is classified as part of fees and service charges as compared to inclusion in the net gain on the sale of loans in the prior period as the Bank no longer closes these loans in its name. The amount of reverse mortgage fees included in fees and service charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $180,000 and $345,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, trust and asset management revenue and fees and service charges, exclusive of fees on reverse mortgage loans, increased $222,000 and $206,000, respectively. Increases in trust and asset management revenue and bankcard service fees were partly offset by decreases in fees from investment services and deposit accounts. The net gain (loss) from other real estate operations improved $121,000 and $175,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same prior year periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the net gain on the sale of loans decreased to $735,000 and $561,000, respectively, as compared to $947,000 and $1.9 million in the same prior year periods due to the reclassification of reverse mortgage income and a decrease in loan sale volume. Additionally, the net gain on the sale of loans for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was adversely impacted by an addition of $975,000 to the reserve for repurchased loans and loss sharing obligations as compared to an addition of $250,000 in the same prior year period. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, there was no provision for repurchased loans and loss sharing obligations as compared to $100,000 in the same prior year period. (Refer to Note 6. Reserve for Repurchased Loans and Loss Sharing Obligations.) Finally, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the net gain on sales of investment securities available for sale decreased to $42,000 from $226,000 in the same prior year periods.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased to $13.7 million and $26.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $12.9 million and $25.8 million for the corresponding prior year periods. Compensation and employee benefits expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was adversely impacted by recruiting costs and by the decrease in mortgage loan closings from the prior year levels. Lower loan closings in the current periods decreased deferred loan expense, net of sales commissions to mortgage loan representatives, which is reflected as an increase in compensation expense. Compensation and employee benefits expense benefited from a reduction in incentive plan expense of $226,000 and $605,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same prior year periods. Professional fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were adversely impacted by $175,000 in non-recurring professional fees.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $2.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $3.0 million and $6.1 million for the same prior year periods. The effective tax rate was 35.7% and 35.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to 35.8% and 35.7%, respectively, in the same prior year periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, FHLB and other borrowings and, to a lesser extent, investment maturities. While scheduled amortization of loans is a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises, including various lines of credit.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had $80.4 million of overnight borrowings from the FHLB compared to none at December 31, 2012. The Company periodically utilizes overnight borrowings to fund short-term liquidity needs. The Company had total FHLB borrowings of $269.4 million and $225.0 million, respectively, at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The Company’s cash needs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were primarily satisfied by principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans held for sale, proceeds from maturities of investment securities and short-term borrowings. The cash was principally utilized for loan originations, the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities and to fund deposit outflows. The Company’s cash needs for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were primarily satisfied by principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans held for sale and proceeds from maturities of investment securities. The cash was principally utilized for loan originations, the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities and to reduce FHLB borrowings.

In the normal course of business, the Company routinely enters into various off-balance-sheet commitments, primarily relating to the origination and sale of loans. At June 30, 2013, outstanding commitments to originate loans totaled $106.8 million; outstanding unused lines of credit totaled $244.4 million; and outstanding commitments to sell loans totaled $7.5 million. The Company expects to have sufficient funds available to meet current commitments arising in the normal course of business.

Time deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $130.2 million at June 30, 2013. Based upon historical experience management estimates that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Company.

The Company has a detailed contingency funding plan and comprehensive reporting of funding trends on a monthly and quarterly basis which is reviewed by management. Management also monitors cash on a daily basis to determine the liquidity needs of the Bank. Additionally, management performs multiple liquidity stress test scenarios on a quarterly basis. The Bank continues to maintain significant liquidity under all stress scenarios.

Under the Company’s stock repurchase program, shares of OceanFirst Financial Corp. common stock may be purchased in the open market and through other privately-negotiated transactions, from time-to-time, depending on market conditions. The repurchased shares are held as treasury stock for general corporate purposes. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 314,961 shares of common stock at a total cost of $4.5 million compared with repurchases of 513,737 shares at a cost of $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2013, there were 519,823 shares remaining to be repurchased under the existing stock repurchase program.

Cash dividends on common stock declared and paid during the first six months of 2013 were $4.2 million, as compared to $4.3 million in the same prior year period. On July 17, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of twelve cents ($0.12) per common share. The dividend is payable on August 9, 2013, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 29, 2013.

The primary sources of liquidity specifically available to OceanFirst Financial Corp., the holding company of OceanFirst Bank, are capital distributions from the banking subsidiary and the issuance of preferred and common stock and long-term debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company received a dividend payment of $8.0 million from the Bank. At June 30, 2013, the Company had received notice from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia that it does not object to the payment of $4.0 million in dividends from the Bank to the Holding Company over the next quarter, although the Federal Reserve Bank reserved the right to revoke the approval at any time if a safety and soundness concern arises during the period. The Company’s ability to continue to pay dividends will be largely dependent upon capital distributions from the Bank, which may be adversely affected by capital constraints imposed by the applicable regulations. The Company cannot predict whether the Bank will be permitted under applicable regulations to pay a dividend to the Company. If the Bank is unable to pay dividends to the Company, the Company may not have the liquidity necessary to pay a dividend in the future or pay a dividend at the same rate as historically paid, or be able to meet current debt obligations. At June 30, 2013, OceanFirst Financial Corp. held $17.1 million in cash and $6.9 million in investment securities available for sale.

The Bank is considered a “well-capitalized” institution under the Prompt Corrective Action Regulations.

In July 2013 the Federal banking agencies adopted a new capital rule which implements higher minimum capital requirements for all banking institutions. The rule becomes effective on January 1, 2015 with a transition period through January 1, 2019. The Bank is currently in compliance with the new capital requirements.

At June 30, 2013, the Company maintained tangible common equity of $216.3 million, for a tangible common equity to assets ratio of 9.38%.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in the financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used for general corporate purposes or for customer needs. Corporate purpose transactions are used to help manage credit, interest rate and liquidity risk or to optimize capital. Customer transactions are used to manage customers’ requests for funding. These financial instruments and commitments include unused lines of credit and commitments to extend credit. The Company also has outstanding commitments to sell loans amounting to $7.5 million.

The following table shows the contractual obligations of the Company by expected payment period as of June 30, 2013 (in thousands):

Commitments to Fund Unused Lines of Credit

     244,386         244,386         —           —           —     

Commitments to originate loans and commitments to fund unused lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments.

The Company’s non-performing loans increased $2.5 million at June 30, 2013, as compared to December 31, 2012 due to the impact of superstorm Sandy which has caused substantial disruption in the Bank’s market area since October 29, 2012. The Bank increased its allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2012 by $1.8 million in expectation of potential losses from increasing levels of non-performing loans for borrowers impacted by superstorm Sandy. The Bank previously identified loans totaling $30.1 million which were adversely impacted by the storm, of which $3.7 million were 90 days or more delinquent at June 30, 2013.

Included in the non-performing loan total at June 30, 2013 was $19.5 million of troubled debt restructured loans, as compared to $18.2 million of troubled debt restructured loans at December 31, 2012. Non-performing loans are concentrated in one-to-four family loans which comprise 62.0% of the total. At June 30, 2013, the average weighted loan-to-value ratio of non-performing one-to-four family loans, after any related charge-offs, was 60% using appraisal values at time of origination and 79% using updated appraisal values. Appraisals are updated for all non-performing residential loans secured by real estate and subsequently updated annually if the loan remains delinquent for an extended period. At June 30, 2013, the average weighted loan-to-value ratio of the total one-to-four family loan portfolio was 56% using appraisal values at time of origination. The Company’s non-performing loans remain at elevated levels partly due to the extended foreclosure process in the State of New Jersey. The protracted foreclosure process delays the Company’s ability to resolve non-performing loans through the sale of the underlying collateral.

The largest non-performing loan relationship consists of several credits to a single borrower operating a marina, with an aggregate balance of $6.2 million. The loans are criticized due to weak, but improving, operating results. The loans are collateralized by commercial and residential real estate, all business assets and also carry a personal guarantee. An appraisal of the commercial real estate performed in May 2011 values the collateral at $9.3 million. In November 2011, the Company entered into a troubled debt restructuring with the borrower which reduced the interest rate in exchange for additional collateral. The loan was renewed in December 2012 at comparable terms. The borrower is current as to payments under the restructured terms but remains classified as a non-accrual loan due to continued uncertainty about the borrower’s ability to service the debt.

The Company classifies loans and other assets in accordance with regulatory guidelines as follows (in thousands):

 

     June 30,

Loans and other assets excluding investment securities:

The largest Special Mention loan at June 30, 2013 is a commercial real estate mortgage to a local builder for $1.7 million which was current as to payments. The loan is well collateralized by residential property and several vacant lots. The largest Substandard loan relationship is the marina credit for $6.2 million noted above. The largest Doubtful asset with a balance of

Table of Contents

$901,000 is a portion of a commercial real estate loan to a self-storage facility. The remaining balance of $1.3 million is rated Substandard. In September 2011, the Company entered into a troubled debt restructuring with the borrower which reduced the interest rate and extended the payment term. All scheduled payments under the restructured terms have been made since that date. In addition to loan classifications, the Company previously classified select investment securities as Substandard, representing the amount with a credit rating below investment grade from one of the internationally-recognized credit rating services. These securities have consistently remained current as to principal and interest payments. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company performed, with the assistance of an independent expert, a detailed analysis relating to the collectability of these securities. The analysis concluded that the issuers of these securities have an adequate capacity to meet financial commitments as originally agreed for the projected life of the security, the risk of default is low and the full and timely repayment of principal and interest is expected.

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 1 to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”), as supplemented by this report, contains a summary of significant accounting policies. Various elements of these accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. Certain assets are carried in the consolidated statements of financial condition at fair value or the lower of cost or fair value. Policies with respect to the methodologies used to determine the allowance for loan losses, the reserve for repurchased loans and the valuation of Mortgage Servicing Rights and judgments regarding securities impairment are the most critical accounting policies because they are important to the presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. These judgments and policies involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions and estimates could result in material differences in the results of operations or financial condition. These critical accounting policies and their application are reviewed periodically and, at least annually, with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Safe Harbor Statement

In addition to historical information, this quarterly report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995 which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “may,” “view,” “opportunity,” “potential,” or similar expressions or expressions of confidence. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, levels of unemployment in the Bank’s lending area, real estate market values in the Bank’s lending area, the level of prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in the Company’s market area and accounting principles and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties are further discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and subsequent securities filings and should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The Company does not undertake - and specifically disclaims any obligation - to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. Further description of the risks and uncertainties to the business are included in Item 1, Business and Item 1A, Risk Factors of the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K and Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s interest rate sensitivity is monitored through the use of an interest rate risk (“IRR”) model. The following table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at June 30, 2013, which were anticipated by the Company, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown.

At June 30, 2013, the Company’s one-year gap was negative 3.89% as compared to positive 0.90% at December 31, 2012. The change from December 31, 2012 was due to the investment of excess short-term liquidity, a temporary increase in short-term funding through FHLB advances, and an expected slowdown in prepayments from loans and mortgage-backed securities.

(1) Interest-earning assets are included in the period in which the balances are expected to be redeployed and/or repriced as a result of anticipated prepayments, scheduled rate adjustments, and contractual maturities.
(2) For purposes of the gap analysis, loans receivable includes loans held for sale and non-performing loans gross of the allowance for loan losses, unamortized discounts and deferred loan fees.
(3) Interest sensitivity gap represents the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Additionally, the table below sets forth the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk as measured by the change in net portfolio value (“NPV”) and net interest income under varying rate shocks as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. All methods used to measure interest rate sensitivity involve the use of assumptions, which may tend to oversimplify the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s interest rate sensitivity should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the 2012 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, based on that evaluation, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for all of 2013. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition and the results of operations for the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

At June 30, 2013, the market value of each corporate debt security was below cost. However, the estimated market value of the corporate debt securities portfolio increased as compared to December 31, 2012. The corporate debt securities are issued by other financial institutions with credit ratings ranging from a high of A3 to a low of Ba2 as rated by one of the internationally recognized credit rating services. These floating-rate securities were purchased during the period May 1998 to September 1998 and have paid coupon interest continuously since issuance. Floating-rate debt securities such as these pay a fixed interest rate spread over 90-day LIBOR. Following the purchase of these securities, the required spread increased for these types of securities causing a decline in the market price. The Company concluded that unrealized losses on available for sale securities were only temporarily impaired at June 30, 2013. In concluding that the impairments were only temporary, the Company considered several factors in its analysis. The Company noted that each issuer made all the contractually due payments when required. There were no defaults on principal or interest payments and no interest payments were deferred. All of the financial institutions were also considered well-capitalized. Recently, credit spreads have decreased for these types of securities and market prices have improved. Based on management’s analysis of each individual security, the issuers appear to have the ability to meet debt service requirements over the life of the security. Furthermore, although these investment securities are available for sale, the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities. The Company has held the securities continuously since 1998 and expects to receive its full principal at maturity in 2028 or prior if called by the issuer. The Company has historically not actively sold investment securities and does not utilize the securities portfolio as a source of liquidity. The Company’s long range liquidity plans indicate adequate sources of liquidity outside the securities portfolio.

Capital markets in general and the market for these corporate securities in particular have been disrupted since the second half of 2007. In its analysis, the Company considered that the severity and duration of unrecognized losses was at least partly due to the illiquidity caused by market disruptions. Since that time, markets have stabilized partly due to steps taken by the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and foreign central banks to restore liquidity and confidence in the capital markets. Each of these issuers has been able to raise capital in recent years and the fair values of these securities have increased significantly since the lows reached in the second half of 2008.

Due to the reasons noted above, especially the continuing restoration of the capital markets, the improved valuation of the corporate securities portfolio from the 2008 lows, the capital position of the issuers and the uninterrupted payment of all contractually due interest, management has determined that only a temporary impairment existed at June 30, 2013.

The mortgage-backed securities are issued and guaranteed by either the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) or Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), corporations which are chartered by the United States Government and whose debt obligations are typically rated AA+ by one of the internationally-recognized credit rating services. FHLMC and FNMA have been under the conservatorship of the Federal Housing Financial Agency since September 8, 2008. The conservatorships have no specified termination date. Also, FHLMC and FNMA have entered into Stock Purchase Agreements, which following the issuance of Senior Preferred Stock and Warrants to the United States Treasury, provide FHLMC and FNMA funding commitments from the United States Treasury. The Company considers the unrealized losses to be the result of changes in interest rates which over time can have both a positive and negative impact on the estimated market value of the mortgage-backed securities. Although these mortgage-backed securities are available for sale, the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost. As a result, the Company concluded that these available for sale securities were only temporarily impaired at June 30, 2013.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, loans in the amount of $45,900,000 and $43,374,000, respectively, were three or more months delinquent or in the process of foreclosure and the Company was not accruing interest income on these loans. There were no loans ninety days or greater past due and still accruing interest. Non-accrual loans include both smaller balance homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans.

The Company defines an impaired loan as all non-accrual commercial real estate, multi-family, land, construction and commercial loans in excess of $250,000. Impaired loans also include all loans modified as troubled debt restructurings. At June 30, 2013, the impaired loan portfolio totaled $37,099,000 for which there was a specific allocation in the allowance for loan losses of $3,436,000. At December 31, 2012, the impaired loan portfolio totaled $37,546,000 for which there was a specific allocation in the allowance for loan losses of $2,554,000. The average balance of impaired loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $37,549,000 and $38,228,000, respectively and $29,369,000 and $28,843,000, respectively, for the same prior year periods.

The Company categorizes all commercial and commercial real estate loans, except for small business loans, into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation and current economic trends, among other factors. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as Special Mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Bank’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as Substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of 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 Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as 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.

The Company classifies certain loans as troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) when credit terms to a borrower in financial difficulty are modified. The modifications may include a reduction in rate, an extension in term and/or the capitalization of past due amounts. Included in the non-accrual loan total at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $19,466,000 and $18,160,000, respectively, of troubled debt restructurings. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has allocated $2,503,000 and $2,418,000, respectively, of specific reserves to loans which are classified as troubled debt restructurings. Non-accrual loans which become troubled debt restructurings are generally returned to accrual status after six months of performance. In addition to the troubled debt restructurings included in non-accrual loans, the Company also has loans classified as troubled debt restructurings which are accruing at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which totaled $15,292,000 and $17,733,000, respectively. Non-accruing and accruing troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2013 include $3,441,000 and $4,900,000, respectively, and at December 31, 2012 include $1,704,000 and $6,291,000, respectively, relating to the implementation of new guidance issued by the Bank’s regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). The amount now includes one-to-four family and consumer loans where the borrower’s obligation was discharged due to bankruptcy. The updated guidance requires the Company to include certain loans as troubled debt restructurings due to the discharge of the borrower’s debt. These loans continue to make payments as agreed and the Bank retains its security interest in the real estate collateral. Troubled debt restructurings with six months of performance are considered in the allowance for loan losses similar to other performing loans. Troubled debt restructurings which are non-accrual or classified are considered in the allowance for loan losses similar to other non-accrual or classified loans.

The reserve for repurchased loans and loss sharing obligations was established to provide for expected losses related to repurchase requests which may be received on residential mortgage loans previously sold to investors and other loss sharing obligations. The Company prepares a comprehensive analysis of the adequacy of the reserve for repurchased loans and loss sharing obligations at each quarter-end. The reserve includes a specific loss estimate on the outstanding loan repurchase requests based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral modified by the likelihood of loss which is estimated based on historical experience. The reserve also includes a general loss estimate based on an estimate of loans likely to be returned for repurchase and the estimated loss on those loans. Finally, the reserve also includes an estimate of the Bank’s obligation under a loss sharing arrangement with the Federal Home Loan Bank relating to loans sold into their Mortgage Partnership Finance (“MPF”) program. Under this program, the Bank and the FHLB share credit risk for loans sold. The first loss position, equal to 1% of the aggregate amount of the loan pool, is absorbed by the FHLB through a reduction in credit enhancement fees paid to the Bank. The second loss position, generally covering the next 1.5% to 4.0% of the aggregate loan pool, is absorbed by the Bank. Loan losses above the combination of these two thresholds are fully absorbed by the FHLB. In establishing the reserve, the Company considered recent and historical experience, product type and volume of loan sales and the general economic environment.

The reserve for repurchased loans and loss sharing obligations was $1.7 million at June 30, 2013, unchanged from March 31, 2013 but a $485,000 increase from December 31, 2012 due to a provision of $100,000 for repurchase requests, an additional provision relating to loans sold to the FHLB, incurred losses relating to the FHLB loan sales, a comprehensive settlement with one investor relating to existing and anticipated loan repurchase requests, and recoveries of previously charged-off amounts. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Bank recognized actual losses for the first time under the MPF program of $245,000 on two loans in a single pool. In light of these realized losses, the Bank performed an analysis of additional loss exposure and determined that additional covered losses within that loan pool were likely and recorded an additional provision of $875,000. The analysis also revealed the actual losses of $245,000 and the general provision of $875,000 related to asset quality deterioration in the loan pool should have been recognized in prior periods; however these amounts were not considered material to such periods. The Bank’s maximum remaining loss exposure on all loans sold to the FHLB is $1.9 million, although the Bank’s reserve includes an estimate of expected future losses. Therefore, additional losses will only be recognized if loan performance deteriorates beyond expectations. The reserve was reduced by a cash payment of $450,000 as part of a comprehensive settlement with a single investor which settled seven outstanding loan repurchase requests and terminated the right of the investor to make any future claims for repurchase. The anticipated loss on this comprehensive settlement was considered in establishing the reserve at December 31, 2012. The Bank also recognized $205,000 in recoveries relating to amounts previously charged-off. At June 30, 2013, there were five outstanding loan repurchase requests which the Company is disputing on loans with a total principal balance of $1.1 million, as compared to 12 outstanding loan repurchase requests with a principal balance of $3.6 million at December 31, 2012.

Note 8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income – Reporting Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The standard is effective prospectively for reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2012. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company had a minor reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income which was not considered significant.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair market measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or the most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement costs). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, a fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Movements within the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the applicable reporting period. There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlations or other means.

Level 3 Inputs - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).

Investments and Mortgage-Backed Securities

Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. Most of the Company’s investment and mortgage-backed securities, however, are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are bought and sold in active markets. Prices for these instruments are obtained through third party pricing vendors or security industry sources that actively participate in the buying and selling of securities. Prices obtained from these sources include market quotations and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used principally to value certain securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but comparing the securities to benchmark or comparable securities.

Fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data as well as the best information available about the security. Illiquid credit markets have resulted in inactive markets for certain of the Company’s securities. As a result, there is limited observable market data for these assets. Fair value estimates for securities for which limited observable market data is available are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, liquidity discounts, credit and interest rate risks, and other factors. These estimates involve significant uncertainties and judgments and cannot be determined with precision. As a result, such calculated fair value estimates may not be realizable in a current sale or immediate settlement of the security.

The Company utilizes third party pricing services to obtain market values for its corporate bonds. Management’s policy is to obtain and review all available documentation from the third party pricing service relating to their market value determinations, including their methodology and summary of inputs. Management reviews this documentation, makes inquiries of the third party pricing service and makes a determination as to the level of the valuation inputs. Based on the Company’s review of the available documentation from the third party pricing service, management concluded that Level 2 inputs were utilized. The significant observable inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities and observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to the issuer.

Other Real Estate Owned and Impaired Loans

Other real estate owned, and loans measured for impairment based on the fair value of the underlying collateral are recorded at estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs of 20% and 15%, respectively. Fair value is based on independent appraisals.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands):

Assets and Liabilities Disclosed at Fair Value

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities disclosed at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy is set forth below.

Cash and Due from Banks

For cash and due from banks, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock

The fair value for Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock is its carrying value since this is the amount for which it could be redeemed. There is no active market for this stock and the Company is required to maintain a minimum investment based upon the outstanding balance of mortgage related assets and outstanding borrowings.

Loans

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as residential mortgage, construction, consumer and commercial. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms.

Fair value of performing and non-performing loans was estimated by discounting the future cash flows, net of estimated prepayments, at a rate for which similar loans would be originated to new borrowers with similar terms. Fair values estimated in this manner do not fully incorporate an exit price approach to fair value, but instead are based on a comparison to current market rates for comparable loans.

Deposits Other than Time Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest-bearing demand deposits, savings, and interest-bearing checking accounts and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand. The related insensitivity of the majority of these deposits to interest rate changes creates a significant inherent value which is not reflected in the fair value reported.

Time Deposits

The fair value of time deposits 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.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase with Retail Customers

Fair value approximates the carrying amount as these borrowings are payable on demand and the interest rate adjusts monthly.

Borrowed Funds

Fair value estimates are based on discounting contractual cash flows using rates which approximate the rates offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because a limited market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other significant unobservable inputs. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on existing balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include deferred tax assets, and premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.
