NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Provident Financial Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Provident Bank (the “Bank,” together with Provident Financial Services, Inc., the “Company”).

In preparing the interim unaudited 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 periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The allowance for loan losses and the valuation of securities available for sale are material estimates that are particularly susceptible to near-term change.

The interim unaudited 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, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for all of 2014.

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

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2013 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K.

Note 2. Business Combinations

On May 30, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Team Capital Bank ("Team Capital"), which after purchase accounting adjustments added $964.0 million to total assets, $631.4 million to loans, and $769.9 million to deposits. Total consideration paid for Team Capital was $115.1 million: $31.6 million in cash and 4.9 million shares of common stock valued at $83.5 million on the acquisition date. Team Capital was merged with and into the Company's subsidiary, The Provident Bank as of the close of business on the date of acquisition.

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, the purchase price has been allocated to the respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values, net of tax. The excess of consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for Team Capital, net of cash consideration paid (in thousands):



	At May 30, 2014
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents, net	$	68,650
Securities available for sale	157,635
Loans	631,390
Bank-owned life insurance	22,319
Banking premises and equipment	24,778
Accrued interest receivable	3,060
Goodwill	40,173
Other intangibles assets	9,868
Foreclosed assets, net	653
Other assets	5,448
Total assets acquired	963,974

Liabilities assumed:
Deposits	769,936
Borrowed Funds	112,835
Other liabilities	(2,314		)
Total liabilities assumed	880,457
Net assets acquired	$	83,517

The calculation of goodwill is subject to change for up to one year after the date of acquisition as additional information relative to the closing date estimates and uncertainties become available. As the Company finalizes its review of the acquired assets and liabilities, certain adjustments to the recorded carrying values may be required.

Fair Value Measurement of Assets Assumed and Liabilities Assumed

The methods used to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Team Capital acquisition were as follows:

Securities Available for Sale

The estimated fair values of the investment securities classified as available for sale were calculated utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The Company reviewed the data and assumptions used in pricing the securities by its third party provider to ensure the highest level of significant inputs are derived from observable market data. These prices were validated against other pricing sources and broker-dealer indications.

Loans

The acquired loan portfolio was valued based on current guidance which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Level 3 inputs were utilized to value the portfolio and included the use of present value techniques employing cash flow estimates and the incorporated assumptions that marketplace participants would use in estimating fair values. In instances where reliable market information was not available, the Company used its own assumptions in an effort to determine reasonable fair value. Specifically, the Company utilized three separate fair value analyses which a market participant would employ in estimating the total fair value adjustment. The three separate fair valuation methodologies used were: 1) interest rate loan fair value analysis; 2) general credit fair value adjustment; and 3) specific credit fair value adjustment.

To prepare the interest rate fair value analysis, loans were grouped by characteristics such as loan type, term, collateral and rate. Market rates for similar loans were obtained from various external data sources and reviewed by Company management for reasonableness. The average of these rates was used as the fair value interest rate a market participant would utilize. A present value approach was utilized to calculate the interest rate fair value adjustment.

The general credit fair value adjustment was calculated using a two part general credit fair value analysis; 1) expected lifetime losses and 2) estimated fair value adjustment for qualitative factors. The expected lifetime losses were calculated using an average of historical losses of the Company, the acquired banks and peer banks. The adjustment related to qualitative factors was impacted by general economic conditions and the risk related to lack of familiarity with the originator's underwriting process.

To calculate the specific credit fair value adjustment the Company reviewed the acquired loan portfolio for loans meeting the definition of an impaired loan with deteriorated credit quality. Loans meeting this criteria were reviewed by comparing the contractual cash flows to expected collectible cash flows. The aggregate expected cash flows less the acquisition date fair value resulted in an accretable yield amount. The accretable yield amount will be recognized over the life of the loans on a level yield basis as an adjustment to yield.

Deposits and Core Deposit Premium

Core deposit premium represents the value assigned to demand, interest checking, money market and savings accounts acquired as part of an acquisition. The core deposit premium value represents the future economic benefit, including the present value of future tax benefits, of the potential cost savings from acquiring core deposits as part of an acquisition compared to the cost alternative funding sources and is valued utilizing Level 1 inputs.

Time deposits are not considered to be core deposits as they are assumed to have a low expected average life upon acquisition. The fair value of time deposits represents the present value of the expected contractual payments discounted by market rates for similar time deposits and is valued utilizing Level 2 inputs.

Borrowed Funds

The fair value for borrowed funds was obtained from actual prepayment rates from the FHLB - Pittsburgh, a level 2 input. These borrowings were redeemed after the acquisition date and the fair value adjustment was fully amortized in the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Note 3. Investment Securities

At June 30, 2014, the Company had $1.16 billion and $454.6 million in available for sale and held to maturity investment securities, respectively. Many factors, including lack of liquidity in the secondary market for certain securities, variations in pricing information, regulatory actions, changes in the business environment or any changes in the competitive marketplace could have an adverse effect on the Company’s investment portfolio which could result in other-than-temporary impairment on certain investment securities in future periods. The total number of all held to maturity and available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2014 totaled 408, compared with 346 at December 31, 2013. All securities with unrealized losses at June 30, 2014 were analyzed for other-than-temporary impairment. Based upon this analysis, no other-than-temporary impairment existed at June 30, 2014.

The following table presents a roll-forward of the credit loss component of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on debt securities for which a non-credit component of OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income. OTTI recognized in earnings for credit-impaired debt securities is presented in two components based upon whether the current period is the first time a debt security was credit-impaired (initial credit impairment), or whether the current period is not the first time a debt security was credit-impaired (subsequent credit impairment). Changes in the credit loss component of credit-impaired debt securities were as follows (in thousands):



	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,

The Company did not incur an OTTI charge on securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company realized a $59,000 gain and a $365,000 loss on the sales of previously impaired non-agency mortgage-backed securities, respectively. The Company previously incurred cumulative credit losses of $1.7 million on these securities.

The following tables represent the Company’s disclosure regarding securities available for sale with temporary impairment at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

The temporary loss position associated with securities available for sale was the result of changes in market interest rates relative to the coupon of the individual security and changes in credit spreads. In addition, there remains a lack of liquidity in certain sectors of the mortgage-backed securities market. The Company does not have the intent to sell securities in a temporary loss position at June 30, 2014, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before their prices recover.

The number of available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2014 totaled 75, compared with 76 at December 31, 2013. At June 30, 2014, there was one private label mortgage-backed security in an unrealized loss position, with an amortized cost of $92,000 and an unrealized loss of $4,000. This private label mortgage-backed security was above investment grade at June 30, 2014.

The Company estimates the loss projections for each security by stressing the individual loans collateralizing the security and applying a range of expected default rates, loss severities, and prepayment speeds in conjunction with the underlying credit enhancement for each security. Based on specific assumptions about collateral and vintage, a range of possible cash flows was identified to determine whether other-than-temporary impairment existed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company concluded that no other-than-temporary impairment of the securities available for sale portfolio existed at June 30, 2014.

Based upon the review of the held to maturity securities portfolio, the Company believes that as of June 30, 2014, securities with unrealized loss positions shown above do not represent impairments that are other-than-temporary. The review of the portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment considers the percentage and length of time the fair value of an investment is below book value, as well as general market conditions, changes in interest rates, credit risks, whether the Company has the intent to sell the securities and whether it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the securities before their prices recover.

The number of securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2014 totaled 333, compared with 270 at December 31, 2013. The increase in the number of securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2014, was largely due to securities acquired in the Team Capital transaction. All temporarily impaired investment securities were investment grade at June 30, 2014.

Included in loans receivable are loans for which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrowers. The principal amounts of these non-accrual loans were $65.4 million and $76.7 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Included in non-accrual loans were $27.0 million and $33.5 million of loans

which were less than 90 days past due at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. There were no loans ninety days or greater past due and still accruing interest at June 30, 2014, or December 31, 2013.

The Company defines an impaired loan as a non-homogeneous loan greater than $1.0 million for which it is probable, based on current information, all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. Impaired loans also include all loans modified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). A loan is deemed to be a TDR when a loan modification resulting in a concession is made in an effort to mitigate potential loss arising from a borrower’s financial difficulty. Smaller balance homogeneous loans, including residential mortgages and other consumer loans, are evaluated collectively for impairment and are excluded from the definition of impaired loans, unless modified as TDRs. The Company separately calculates the reserve for loan losses on impaired loans. The Company may recognize impairment of a loan based upon: (1) the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate; or (2) if a loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of collateral; or (3) the fair value of the loan. Additionally, if impaired loans have risk characteristics in common, those loans may be aggregated and historical statistics may be used as a means of measuring those impaired loans.

The Company uses third-party appraisals to determine the fair value of the underlying collateral in its analyses of collateral dependent impaired loans. A third party appraisal is generally ordered as soon as a loan is designated as a collateral dependent impaired loan and is updated annually or more frequently, if required.

A specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses is established for each collateral dependent impaired loan with a carrying balance greater than the collateral’s fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Charge-offs are generally taken for the amount of the specific allocation when operations associated with the respective property cease and it is determined that collection of amounts due will be derived primarily from the disposition of the collateral. At each fiscal quarter end, if a loan is designated as a collateral dependent impaired loan and the third party appraisal has not yet been received, an evaluation of all available collateral is made using the best information available at the time, including rent rolls, borrower financial statements and tax returns, prior appraisals, management’s knowledge of the market and collateral, and internally prepared collateral valuations based upon market assumptions regarding vacancy and capitalization rates, each as and where applicable. Once the appraisal is received and reviewed, the specific reserves are adjusted to reflect the appraised value. The Company believes there have been no significant time lapses as a result of this process.

At June 30, 2014, there were 155 impaired loans totaling $93.8 million. Included in this total were 117 TDRs related to 114 borrowers totaling $55.6 million that were performing in accordance with their restructured terms and which continued to accrue interest at June 30, 2014. At December 31, 2013, there were 152 impaired loans totaling $106.4 million. Included in this total were 115 TDRs to 110 borrowers totaling $58.2 million that were performing in accordance with their restructured terms and which continued to accrue interest at December 31, 2013.

Loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties that are considered TDRs primarily involve lowering the monthly payments on such loans through either a reduction in interest rate below a market rate, an extension of the term of the loan without a corresponding adjustment to the risk premium reflected in the interest rate, or a combination of these two methods. These modifications generally do not result in the forgiveness of principal or accrued interest. In addition, the Company attempts to obtain additional collateral or guarantor support when modifying such loans. If the borrower has demonstrated performance under the previous terms and our underwriting process shows the borrower has the capacity to continue to perform under the restructured terms, the loan will continue to accrue interest. Non-accruing restructured loans may be returned to accrual status when there has been a sustained period of repayment performance (generally six consecutive months of payments) and both principal and interest are deemed collectible.

The following tables present the number of loans modified as TDRs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and their balances immediately prior to the modification date and post-modification as of June 30, 2014 and 2013.

All TDRs are impaired loans, which are individually evaluated for impairment, as previously discussed. Estimated collateral values of collateral dependent impaired loans modified during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 exceeded the carrying amounts of such loans. As a result, there were no charge-offs recorded on collateral dependent impaired loans presented in the preceding tables for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The allowance for loan losses associated with

the TDRs presented in the preceding tables totaled $282,000 and $294,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and were included in the allowance for loan losses for loans individually evaluated for impairment. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the allowance for loan losses associated with the TDRs presented in the preceding tables totaled $322,000 and $670,000, respectively, and were included in the allowance for loan losses for loans individually evaluated for impairment.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the TDRs presented in the preceding tables had a weighted average modified interest rate of approximately 4.81% and 4.65%, respectively, compared to a rate of 5.50% and 5.39% prior to modification, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the TDRs had weighted average modified interest rate of approximately 4.20% and 4.24%, respectively, compared to a rate of 5.49% and 5.67% prior to modification, respectively.

The following table presents loans modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months from June 30, 2014 and 2013, and for which there was a payment default (90 days or more past due) at the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

TDRs that subsequently default are considered collateral dependent impaired loans and are evaluated for impairment based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less expected selling costs.

PCI loans are loans acquired at a discount primarily due to deteriorated credit quality. As part of the Team Capital acquisition, $5.2 million of the loans purchased at May 30, 2014 were determined to be PCI loans. PCI loans are accounted for at fair value, based upon the present value of expected future cash flows, with no related allowance for loan losses.

The following table presents information regarding the estimates of the contractually required payments, the cash flows expected to be collected and the estimated fair value of the PCI loans acquired from Team Capital at May 30, 2014 (in thousands):

The decrease in the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to greater certainty regrading collateral valuations and the stabilization of economic conditions. The unallocated portion of the allowance reflects uncertainties related to certain impaired loans where the appropriate allowance has been established using discounted cash flow analyses, but where Management has given consideration to the potential collateral shortfall.

Specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses attributable to impaired loans totaled $8,521,000 and $10,217,000 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, impaired loans for which there was no related allowance for loan losses totaled $20,108,000 and $21,958,000, respectively. The average balance of impaired loans during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $96,462,000.

The Company utilizes an internal nine-point risk rating system to summarize its loan portfolio into categories with similar characteristics. Loans deemed to be “acceptable quality” (pass) are rated 1through 4, with a rating of 1 established for loans with minimal risk. Loans that are deemed to be of “questionable quality” are rated 5 (watch) or 6 (special mention). Loans with adverse classifications (substandard, doubtful or loss) are rated 7, 8 or 9, respectively. Commercial mortgage, commercial, multi-family and construction loans are rated individually, and each lending officer is responsible for risk rating loans in their portfolio. These risk ratings are then reviewed by the department manager and/or the Chief Lending Officer and by Credit Administration. The risk ratings are also confirmed through periodic loan review examinations which are currently performed by an independent third party. Reports concerning periodic loan review examinations by the independent third party are presented directly to both the Audit and Risk Committees of the Board of Directors.

Note 6. Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost

The Bank has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) covering its full-time employees who had attained age 21 with at least one year of service as of April 1, 2003, the date on which the Plan was frozen. All participants in the Plan are 100% vested. The Plan’s assets are invested in investment funds and group annuity contracts currently managed by the Principal Financial Group and Allmerica Financial.

The Company, in its effort to lower and reduce the volatility of its future pension costs, offered a lump sum pension distribution option to its vested terminated employees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Plan paid $4.3 million to those

employees that elected to receive lump sum pension distributions and the Company realized an associated charge of $1.3 million. This charge was a pro rata share of the unrecognized losses recorded in other comprehensive income.

In addition to pension benefits, certain health care and life insurance benefits are currently made available to certain of the Bank’s retired employees. The costs of such benefits are accrued based on actuarial assumptions from the date of hire to the date the employee became fully eligible to receive the benefits. Effective January 1, 2003, eligibility for retiree health care benefits was frozen as to new entrants, and benefits were eliminated for employees with less than 10 years of service as of December 31, 2002. Effective January 1, 2007, eligibility for retiree life insurance benefits was frozen as to new entrants, and retiree life insurance benefits were eliminated for employees with less than 10 years of service as of December 31, 2006.

Net periodic benefit (increase) cost for pension benefits and other post-retirement benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 includes the following components (in thousands):



	Three months ended June 30,									Six months ended June 30,

Net periodic benefit (increase) cost	$	(449	)	(136	)	262		308		$	(898	)	(272	)	524		616

In its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company previously disclosed that it does not expect to contribute to the Plan in 2014. As of June 30, 2014, no contributions to the Plan have been made.

The net periodic benefit cost (increase) for pension benefits and other post-retirement benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were calculated using the actual January 1, 2014 pension valuation and the other post-retirement benefits valuations.

Note 7. Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, "Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period" requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments can be applied prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented and to all new or modified awards thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The FASB in June 2014 issued ASU No. 2014-11, "Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures" which aligns the accounting for repurchase to maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements. Going forward, these transactions would all be accounted for as secured borrowings. This update is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. In addition the disclosure of certain transactions accounted for as a sale is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and the disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is assessing the impact that the adoption of this update will have on its accounting and disclosures.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, “Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure,” clarifies that an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure, or the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, this ASU requires interim and annual disclosure of both the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that

are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The FASB in January 2014 issued ASU No.,2014-01, “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Subtopic 323) Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects,” which applies to all reporting entities that invest in flow-through limited liability entities that manage or invest in affordable housing projects that qualify for the low-income housing tax credit. The amendments in this update modify the conditions that a reporting entity must meet to be eligible to use a method other than the equity or cost methods to account for qualified affordable housing project investments. If the modified conditions are met, the amendments permit an entity to use the proportional amortization method to amortize the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the amount of tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognize the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). Additionally, the amendments introduce new recurring disclosures about all investments in qualified affordable housing projects irrespective of the method used to account for the investments. The amendments in ASU 2014-01 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The FASB in July 2013 issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”, which provides guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The determination of fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. Where quoted market values in an active market are not readily available, the Company utilizes various valuation techniques to estimate fair value.

Fair value is an estimate of the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. However, in many instances fair value estimates may not be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and may not be realized in an immediate sale of the financial instrument.

GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:



Level 1:		Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2:		Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3:		Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The valuation techniques are based upon the unpaid principal balance only, and exclude any accrued interest or dividends at the measurement date. Interest income and expense and dividend income are recorded within the consolidated statements of income depending on the nature of the instrument using the effective interest method based on acquired discount or premium.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The valuation techniques described below were used to measure fair value of financial instruments in the table below on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Securities Available for Sale

For securities available for sale, fair value was estimated using a market approach. The majority of the Company’s securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets. Prices for these instruments are obtained through third party data service providers or dealer market participants with which the Company has historically transacted both purchases and sales of securities. Prices obtained from these sources include market quotations and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing, a Level 2 input, is a mathematical technique used principally to value certain securities to benchmark to comparable securities. The Company evaluates the quality of Level 2 matrix pricing through comparison to similar assets with greater liquidity and evaluation of projected cash flows. As the Company is responsible for the determination of fair value, it performs quarterly analyses on the prices received from the pricing service to determine whether the prices are reasonable estimates of fair value. Specifically, the Company compares the prices received from the pricing service to a secondary pricing source. Additionally, the Company compares changes in the reported market values and returns to relevant market indices to test the reasonableness of the reported prices. The Company’s internal price verification procedures and review of fair value methodology documentation provided by independent pricing services has not historically resulted in adjustment in the prices obtained from the pricing service. The Company also may hold equity securities and debt instruments issued by the U.S. government and U.S. government-sponsored agencies that are traded in active markets with readily accessible quoted market prices that are considered Level 1 inputs.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The valuation techniques described below were used to estimate fair value of financial instruments measured on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

For loans measured for impairment based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, fair value was estimated using a market approach. The Company measures the fair value of collateral underlying impaired loans primarily through obtaining independent appraisals that rely upon quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets. These appraisals include adjustments, on an individual case-by-case basis, to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience, as well as adjustments for estimated costs to sell of up to 6%. The Company classifies these loans as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Assets acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are carried at fair value, less estimated selling costs of up to 6%. Fair value is generally based on independent appraisals that rely upon quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets. These appraisals include adjustments, on an individual case basis, to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience, and are classified as Level 3. When an asset is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over fair value, less estimated selling costs, is charged to the allowance for loan losses. A reserve for foreclosed assets may be established to provide for possible write-downs and selling costs that occur subsequent to foreclosure. Foreclosed assets are carried net of the related reserve. Operating results from real estate owned, including rental income, operating expenses, and gains and losses realized from the sales of real estate owned, are recorded as incurred.

There were no changes to the valuation techniques for fair value measurements as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair values as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, by level within the fair value hierarchy.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The Company is required to disclose estimated fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities on and off the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for those assets and liabilities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and short-term investments, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Investment Securities Held to Maturity

For investment securities held to maturity, fair value was estimated using a market approach. The majority of the Company’s securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets. Prices for these instruments are obtained through third party data service providers or dealer market participants with which the Company has historically transacted both purchases and sales of securities. Prices obtained from these sources include market quotations and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing, a Level 2 input, is a mathematical technique used principally to value certain securities to benchmark or comparable securities. The Company evaluates the quality of Level 2 matrix pricing through comparison to similar assets with greater liquidity and evaluation of projected cash flows. As the Company is responsible for the determination of fair value, it performs quarterly analyses on the prices received from the pricing service to determine whether the prices are reasonable estimates of fair value. Specifically, the Company compares the prices received from the pricing service to a secondary pricing source. Additionally, the Company compares changes in the reported market values and returns to relevant market indices to test the reasonableness of the reported prices. The Company’s internal price verification procedures and review of fair value methodology documentation provided by independent pricing services has not historically resulted in adjustment in the prices obtained from the pricing service. The Company also holds debt instruments issued by the U.S. government and U.S. government agencies that are traded in active markets with readily accessible quoted market prices that are considered Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

FHLB-NY Stock

The carrying value of FHLB-NY stock was its cost. The fair value of FHLB-NY stock is based on redemption at par value. The Company classifies the estimated fair value as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Loans

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial mortgage, residential mortgage, commercial, construction and consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and into performing and non-performing categories. The fair value of performing loans was estimated using a combination of techniques, including a discounted cash flow model that utilizes a discount rate that reflects the Company’s current pricing for loans with similar characteristics and remaining maturity, adjusted by an amount for estimated credit losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. The rates take into account the expected yield curve, as well as an adjustment for prepayment risk, when applicable. The Company classifies the estimated fair value of its loan portfolio as Level 3.

The fair value for significant non-performing loans was based on recent external appraisals of collateral securing such loans, adjusted for the timing of anticipated cash flows and estimated selling costs. The Company classifies the estimated fair value of its non-performing loan portfolio as Level 3.

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing demand deposits and savings deposits, was equal to the amount payable on demand and classified as Level 1. The estimated fair value of certificates of deposit was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate was estimated using the Company’s current rates offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. The Company classifies the estimated fair value of its certificates of deposit portfolio as Level 2.

Borrowed Funds

The fair value of borrowed funds was estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates available for debt with similar terms and maturities and is classified by the Company as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Letters of Credit

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit was estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.

For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value estimates of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are deemed immaterial.

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 no 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 factors. 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 on- and off-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 goodwill and other intangibles, 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.

The following tables present the Company’s financial instruments at their carrying and fair values as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Fair values are presented by level within the fair value hierarchy.

Item 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or periods, or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “continue,” or similar terms or variations on those terms, or the negative of those terms. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those related to the economic environment, particularly in the market areas in which the Company operates, competitive products and pricing, fiscal and monetary policies of the U.S. Government, changes in government regulations affecting financial institutions, including regulatory fees and capital requirements, changes in prevailing interest rates, acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses, credit risk management, asset-liability management, the financial and securities markets and the availability of and costs associated with sources of liquidity. Reference is made to the "Risk Factors" disclosure in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date made. The Company also advises readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements. The Company does not have an obligation to update any such statements to reflect any subsequent events or circumstances after the date of this statement.

Acquisition

On May 30, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Team Capital Bank ("Team Capital"), which after the purchase accounting adjustments added $964.0 million to total assets, $631.4 million to loans, and $769.9 million to deposits. Total consideration paid for Team Capital was $115.1 million: $31.6 million in cash and 4.9 million shares of common stock valued at $83.5 million on the acquisition date. Team Capital was merged with and into the Company's subsidiary, The Provident Bank as of the close of business on the date of acquisition. The Team Capital acquisition added 12 full-service banking offices in Bucks, Northampton and Lehigh Counties in Pennsylvania and Essex, Somerset, Hunterdon and Warren Counties in New Jersey.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company considers certain accounting policies to be critically important to the fair presentation of its financial condition and results of operations. These policies require management to make complex judgments on matters which by their nature have elements of uncertainty. The sensitivity of the Company’s consolidated financial statements to these critical accounting policies, and the assumptions and estimates applied, could have a significant impact on its financial condition and results of operations. These assumptions, estimates and judgments made by management can be influenced by a number of factors, including the general economic environment. The Company has identified the following as critical accounting policies:


•	Adequacy of the allowance for loan losses


•	Goodwill valuation and analysis for impairment


•	Valuation of securities available for sale and impairment analysis


•	Valuation of deferred tax assets

The calculation of the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy of the Company. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account that reflects management’s evaluation of the probable losses in the loan portfolio. The Company maintains the allowance for loan losses through provisions for loan losses that are charged to income. Charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses are taken on loans where management determines that the collection of loan principal is unlikely. Recoveries made on loans that have been charged-off are credited to the allowance for loan losses.

The Company’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses includes a review of all loans on which the collectibility of principal may not be reasonably assured. For residential mortgage and consumer loans, this is determined primarily by delinquency and collateral values. For commercial real estate and commercial loans, an extensive review of financial performance, payment history and collateral values is conducted on a quarterly basis.

As part of the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, each quarter management prepares an analysis that categorizes the entire loan portfolio by certain risk characteristics such as loan type (residential mortgage, commercial mortgage, construction, commercial, etc.) and loan risk rating.

When assigning a risk rating to a loan, management utilizes a nine point internal risk rating system. Loans deemed to be “acceptable quality” are rated 1 through 4, with a rating of 1 established for loans with minimal risk. Loans deemed to be of “questionable quality” are rated 5 (watch) or 6 (special mention). Loans with adverse classifications (substandard, doubtful or loss) are rated 7, 8 or 9, respectively. Commercial mortgage, commercial and construction loans are rated individually and each lending officer is responsible for risk rating loans in their portfolio. These risk ratings are then reviewed by the department manager and/or the Chief Lending Officer and the Credit Administration Department. The risk ratings are also confirmed through periodic loan review examinations, which are currently performed by an independent third party and periodically, by the Credit Committee in the credit renewal or approval. In addition, the Bank requires an annual review be performed for commercial and commercial real estate loans above certain dollar thresholds, depending on loan type, to help determine the appropriate risk rating

Management assigns general valuation allowance (“GVA”) percentages to each risk rating category for use in allocating the allowance for loan losses, giving consideration to historical loss experience by loan type and other qualitative or environmental factors such as trends and levels of delinquencies, impaired loans, charge-offs, recoveries, loan volume, as well as the national and local economic trends and conditions. The appropriateness of these percentages is evaluated by management at least annually and monitored on a quarterly basis, with changes made when they are required. In the second quarter of 2014, management completed its most recent evaluation of the GVA percentages. As a result of that evaluation, GVA percentages applied to residential mortgage loans, commercial mortgage loans, multi-family loans and commercial loans were reduced, while the GVA percentage on marine loans was increased. These changes were made based on an evaluation of through-the-cycle actual historical losses, giving consideration to a current assessment of qualitative and environmental factors.

Management believes the primary risks inherent in the portfolio are a decline in the economy, generally a decline in real estate market values, rising unemployment or a protracted period of unemployment at current elevated levels, increasing vacancy rates in commercial investment properties and possible increases in interest rates in the absence of economic improvement. Any one or a combination of these events may adversely affect borrowers’ ability to repay the loans, resulting in increased delinquencies, loan losses and future levels of provisions. Accordingly, the Company has provided for loan losses at the current level to address the current risk in its loan portfolio. Management considers it important to maintain the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at an acceptable level given current economic conditions, interest rates and the composition of the portfolio.

Although management believes that the Company has established and maintained the allowance for loan losses at appropriate levels, additions may be necessary if future economic and other conditions differ substantially from the current operating environment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis giving consideration to historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Such estimates and assumptions are adjusted when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile securities markets, and declines in the housing and commercial real estate markets and the economy generally have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses as an integral part of their examination process. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance or additional write-downs based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.

Additional critical accounting policies relate to judgments about other asset impairments, including goodwill, investment securities and deferred tax assets. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment between annual measurement dates.

Management qualitatively determines whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity would be required to perform Step 1 of the assessment and then, if needed, Step 2 to determine whether goodwill is impaired. However, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is more than its carrying amount, the entity does not need to apply the two-step impairment test. For this analysis, the Reporting Unit is defined as the Bank, which includes all core and retail banking operations of the Company but excludes the assets, liabilities, equity, earnings and operations held exclusively at the Company level. The guidance provides certain factors an entity should consider in its qualitative assessment in determining whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. The factors include:


•	Macroeconomic conditions, such as deterioration in economic condition and limited access to capital.


•	Industry and market considerations, such as increased competition, regulatory developments and decline in market-dependent multiples.


•	Cost factors, such as increased labor costs, cost of materials and other operating costs.


•	Overall financial performance, such as declining cash flows and decline in revenue or earnings.


•	Other relevant entity-specific events, such as changes in management, strategy or customers, litigation and contemplation of bankruptcy.


•	Reporting unit events, such as selling or disposing a portion of a reporting unit and a change in composition of assets.

The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2013. Based upon its qualitative assessment of goodwill, the Company concluded it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill was not impaired and no further quantitative analysis (Step 1) was warranted.

The Company may, based upon its qualitative assessment, or at its option, perform the two-step process to evaluate the potential impairment of goodwill. If, based upon Step 1, the fair value of the Reporting Unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the Reporting Unit is considered not impaired. However, if the carrying amount of the Reporting Unit exceeds its fair value, an additional test must be performed. The second step test compares the implied fair value of the Reporting Unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. An impairment loss would be recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

The Company’s available for sale securities portfolio is carried at estimated fair value, with any unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in Stockholders’ Equity. Estimated fair values are based on market quotations or matrix pricing as discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements. Securities which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost. Management conducts a periodic review and evaluation of the securities portfolio to determine if any declines in the fair values of securities are other-than-temporary. In this evaluation, if such a decline were deemed other-than-temporary, Management would measure the total credit-related component of the unrealized loss, and recognize that portion of the loss as a charge to current period earnings. The remaining portion of the unrealized loss would be recognized as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair value of the securities portfolio is significantly affected by changes in interest rates. In general, as interest rates rise, the fair value of fixed-rate securities decreases and as interest rates fall, the fair value of fixed-rate securities increases. For certain sectors of the mortgage-backed securities market there has been a lack of liquidity. Increases in delinquencies and foreclosures have resulted in limited trading activity and significant price declines, regardless of favorable movements in interest rates. The Company determines if it has the intent to sell these securities or if it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the securities before the anticipated recovery. If either exists, the decline in value is considered other-than-temporary. In this evaluation, the Company did not recognize an other-than-temporary impairment charge on securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013, respectively.

The determination of whether deferred tax assets will be realizable is predicated on the reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities, utilization against carryback years and estimates of future taxable income. Such estimates are subject to management’s judgment. A valuation allowance is established when management is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that it will realize deferred tax assets based on the nature and timing of these items. At June 30, 2014, the Company maintained a valuation allowance of $242,000, related to unused capital loss carryforwards.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2014 AND DECEMBER 31, 2013

Total assets increased $962.0 million to $8.45 billion at June 30, 2014, from $7.49 billion at December 31, 2013, primarily due to $964.0 million of total assets from the Team Capital acquisition, partially offset by decreases in total investments and cash and cash equivalents.

Total loans increased $715.3 million, or 13.8%, to $5.91 billion at June 30, 2014, from $5.19 billion at December 31, 2013, which included $631.4 million of loans acquired from Team Capital. Loan originations totaled $741.5 million and loan purchases totaled $31.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The loan portfolio had net increases of $271.7 million in commercial mortgage loans, $271.0 million in commercial loans, $50.1 million in residential mortgage loans, $44.1 million in construction loans, $39.9 million in consumer loans and $39.3 million in multi-family mortgage loans. Commercial real estate, commercial and construction loans represented 68.9% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2014, compared to 66.3% at December 31, 2013.

The Company does not originate or purchase sub-prime or option ARM loans. Prior to September 30, 2008, the Company originated “Alt-A” mortgages in the form of stated income loans with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 50% on a limited basis. The balance of these “Alt-A” loans at June 30, 2014 was $6.9 million. Of this total, 4 loans totaling $885,000 were 90 days or more delinquent. General valuation reserves of 5.5%, or $83,000, were allocated to such loans at June 30, 2014.

The Company participates in loans originated by other banks, including participations designated as Shared National Credits (“SNCs”). The Company’s gross commitments and outstanding balances as a participant in SNCs were $91.2 million and $52.1 million, respectively, at June 30, 2014. No SNCs were 90 days or more delinquent at June 30, 2014.

The Company had outstanding junior lien mortgages totaling $269.3 million at June 30, 2014. Of this total, 20 loans totaling $1.4 million were 90 days or more delinquent. General valuation reserves of 10%, or $142,000, were allocated to such loans which were 90 days or more delinquent at June 30, 2014.

At June 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding indirect marine loans totaling $30.0 million. There was one loan with a balance of $40,000 that was 90 days or more delinquent at June 30, 2014. Marine loans are currently made only on a direct, limited accommodation basis to existing customers.

At June 30, 2014, the allowance for loan losses totaled $63.9 million, or 1.08% of total loans, compared with $64.7 million, or 1.24% of total loans at December 31, 2013. The decline in the loan coverage ratio was largely a function of Team Capital loans which were acquired at fair value, with no corresponding allowance. Total non-performing loans were $65.4 million, or 1.11% of total loans at June 30, 2014, compared to $76.7 million, or 1.48% of total loans at December 31, 2013. The $11.3 million decrease in non-performing loans consisted of an $8.4 million decrease in non-performing construction loans, a $1.7 million decrease in non-performing residential loans, a $1.3 million decrease in non-performing commercial loans, a $644,000 decrease in non-performing consumer loans, partially offset by a $777,000 increase in non-performing commercial mortgage loans. Non-performing loans do not include $5.2 million of purchased credit impaired loans acquired from Team Capital.

At June 30, 2014, the Company held $7.0 million of foreclosed assets, compared with $5.5 million at December 31, 2013. Foreclosed assets at June 30, 2014, consisted of $4.1 million of commercial real estate, $2.8 million of residential real estate, and $90,000 of marine vessels.

Non-performing assets totaled $72.3 million, or 0.86% of total assets at June 30, 2014, compared to $82.2 million, or 1.10% of total assets at December 31, 2013.

Total investments increased $109.0 million, or 6.9%, to $1.68 billion at June 30, 2014, from $1.57 billion at December 31, 2013, largely due to investments acquired in the Team Capital transaction, along with purchases of mortgage-backed securities, partially

offset by principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities, maturities of municipal and agency bonds, and sales of certain mortgage-backed securities.

Total deposits increased $635.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $5.84 billion. The increase in total deposits was primarily due to $769.9 million acquired from Team Capital, partially offset by the cyclical outflow of municipal deposits and a decrease in time deposits. At June 30, 2014, core deposits, which consist of savings and demand deposit accounts, totaled $4.96 billion, compared to $4.40 billion at December 31, 2013. Within the core deposit category, non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $163.6 million to $1.03 billion at June 30, 2014. Core deposits represented 84.9% of total deposits at June 30, 2014, compared to 84.5% at December 31, 2013.

Borrowed funds increased $215.0 million, or 17.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2014, to $1.42 billion, as longer-term wholesale funding was added to mitigate interest rate risk. Borrowed funds represented 16.8% of total assets at June 30, 2014, an increase from 16.1% at December 31, 2013.

Stockholders’ equity increased $110.6 million, or 10.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2014, to $1.12 billion, due to total common stock issued for the purchase of Team Capital, net income earned for the period and an increase in unrealized gains on securities available for sale, partially offset by dividends paid to stockholders. Common stock repurchases for the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled 231,575 shares at an average cost of $16.75 per share. At June 30, 2014, 3.5 million shares remained eligible for repurchase under the current stock repurchase program authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. At June 30, 2014, book value per share and tangible book value per share were $17.28 and $11.03, respectively, compared with $16.87 and $10.92, respectively, at December 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Liquidity refers to the Company’s ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet financial obligations to its depositors, to fund loans and securities purchases, deposit outflows and operating expenses. Sources of funds include scheduled amortization of loans, loan prepayments, scheduled maturities of investments, cash flows from mortgage-backed securities and the ability to borrow funds from the FHLB-NY and approved broker-dealers.

Cash flows from loan payments and maturing investment securities are fairly predictable sources of funds. Changes in interest rates, local economic conditions and the competitive marketplace can influence loan prepayments, prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and deposit flows.

As of June 30, 2014, the Bank and the Company exceeded all current minimum regulatory capital requirements as follows:



	June 30, 2014
	Required				Actual
	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
	(Dollars in thousands)
Bank:
Regulatory Tier 1 leverage capital	$	296,993	4.00	%	$	647,327	8.72	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital	240,072		4.00		647,327		10.79
Total risk-based capital	480,143		8.00		711,202		11.85

Company:
Regulatory Tier 1 leverage capital	296,993		4.00		713,102		9.60
Tier 1 risk-based capital	240,071		4.00		713,102		11.88
Total risk-based capital	480,141		8.00		776,977		12.95

In July 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that will revise their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the rule establishes a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital unless a one-time opt-out is exercised. Additional constraints will also be imposed on the inclusion in regulatory capital of mortgage-servicing assets, deferred tax assets and minority interests. The rule limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum

risk-based capital requirements. The final rule becomes effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013

General. The Company reported net income of $16.4 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net income of $19.2 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported net income of $33.4 million, or $0.57 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $37.1 million, or $0.65 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year.

On May 30, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Team Capital, which added $964.0 million to total assets, $631.4 million to loans, and $769.9 million to deposits. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 included net non-recurring items related to the acquisition of Team Capital that reduced earnings by $1.2 million and $1.3 million, net of tax, respectively.

Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were further impacted by a $790,000, net of tax, non-cash charge related to the recognition of a pro rata portion of unrealized losses on pension assets in connection with lump sum distributions from the Company's frozen pension plan, in order to lower and reduce the volatility of future pension costs.

Net Interest Income. Total net interest income increased $4.0 million to $57.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from $53.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, total net interest income increased $5.3 million, or 4.9%, to $112.6 million, from $107.3 million for the same period in 2013. Interest income for the second quarter of 2014 increased $5.0 million to $67.4 million, from $62.4 million for the same period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, interest income increased $6.2 million to $131.9 million, from $125.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 10.9%, to $10.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from $9.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, interest expense increased $900,000 to $19.3 million, from $18.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Both comparative periods were favorably impacted by the net assets acquired from Team Capital, partially offset by compression in the net interest margin. Current quarter and, to a lesser extent, year-to-date 2014 yields and costs were impacted by fair value adjustments to assets and liabilities acquired from Team Capital as of the May 30, 2014 merger date. The earning asset yield was further impacted by the retention of lower-yielding excess liquidity pending the closing of the Team Capital acquisition.

The net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, decreased 5 basis points to 3.24%, compared with 3.29% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with the same period last year, was primarily attributable to reductions in the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets, which declined 3 basis points to 3.81% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared with 3.84% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The weighted average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 2 basis points to 0.69% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with 0.67% for the second quarter 2013. The average cost of interest bearing deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was 0.33%, compared with 0.41% for the same period last year. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $913.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with $807.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The average cost of borrowed funds for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was 1.97%, compared with 2.03% for the same period last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the net interest margin decreased 7 basis points to 3.25%, compared with 3.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The weighted average yield on interest-earning assets declined 7 basis points to 3.82% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with 3.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, while the weighted average cost of interest bearing liabilities remained unchanged at 0.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with same period in 2013. The average cost of interest bearing deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 0.34%, compared with 0.43% for the same period last year. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $888.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $813.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The average cost of borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 1.92%, compared with 2.13% for the same period last year.

Interest income on loans secured by real estate increased $2.8 million to $40.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $37.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Commercial loan interest income increased $1.4 million, or 13.9%, to $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Consumer loan interest income totaled $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, unchanged from the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the average balance of total loans increased $558.6 million to $5.42 billion, from $4.86 billion for the same period in 2013, largely due to loans added from the Team Capital acquisition. The average loan yield for the three months ended June 30, 2014, decreased 14 basis points to 4.25%, from 4.39% for the same period in 2013.

Interest income on loans secured by real estate increased $3.0 million to $78.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $75.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Interest income on commercial loans increased $2.1 million, or 11.0%, to $22.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Consumer loan interest income decreased $301,000 to $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The average loan yield for the six months ended June 30, 2014, decreased 20 basis points to 4.25%, from 4.45% for the same period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the average balance of total loans increased $441.9 million, or 9.1%, to $5.29 billion, from $4.84 billion for the same period in 2013.

The average yield on total securities increased to 2.25% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with 2.17% for the same period in 2013. The increase in the yield on securities for the quarter was primarily attributable to increases in long-term interest rates and the resulting reduction in prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and related premium amortization. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the average yield on all securities was 2.22%, compared with 2.37% for the same period in 2013. The decrease in the yield on securities for the six months was attributable to the prolonged low interest rate environment and resulting declines in yields on new securities purchases and reinvested cash flows.

Interest income on investment securities held to maturity increased $139,000, or 5.0%, to $2.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period last year. Average investment securities held to maturity increased $44.7 million, to $396.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from $351.7 million for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, interest income on investment securities held to maturity decreased $3,000 to $5.6 million from the same period in 2013. The balance of average investment securities held to maturity increased $26.2 million, to $377.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $351.0 million for the same period last year.

Interest income on securities available for sale and FHLB-NY stock increased $543,000, or 8.9%, to $6.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from $6.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The average balance of securities available for sale and FHLB-NY stock decreased $46.6 million, or 3.7%, to $1.20 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $1.25 billion for the same period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, interest income on securities available for sale and FHLB-NY stock increased $1.4 million to $13.7 million, from $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The average balance of securities available for sale and FHLB-NY stock decreased $58.7 million, or 4.6%, to $1.21 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $1.27 billion for the same period in 2013.

Interest paid on deposit accounts decreased $920,000, or 20.0%, to $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from $4.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, interest paid on deposit accounts declined $2.1 million, or 22.4%, to $7.4 million, from $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 0.33% and 0.34% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, from 0.41% and 0.43% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The average balance of interest-bearing core deposit accounts increased $116.9 million, to $3.70 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from $3.59 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, average interest-bearing core deposits increased $15.7 million, to $3.62 billion, from $3.60 billion for the same period in 2013. Average time deposit account balances decreased $91.3 million, or 10.2%, to $805.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from $896.8 million for the same period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, average time deposits decreased $117.4 million, or 12.8%, to $796.4 million, from $913.8 billion for the same period in 2013.

Interest paid on borrowed funds increased $1.9 million, or 43.3%, to $6.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from $4.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 interest paid on borrowed funds increased $3.0 million, or 34.3%, to $11.9 million, from $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The average cost of borrowings decreased to 1.97% and 1.92% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, from 2.03% and 2.13% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Average borrowings increased $413.0 million, or 47.4%, to $1.28 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from $870.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, average borrowings increased $410.4 million, or 49.0%, to $1.25 billion, from $837.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company has recently increased longer-term borrowings as part of its interest rate risk management process.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level management considers necessary to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the levels of non-performing and other classified loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates, and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or later events change. Management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loan losses, if necessary, in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance.

The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $1.5 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. This compared with provisions for loan losses of $1.0 million and $2.5 million recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had net charge-offs of $1.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, compared with net charge-offs of $4.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2013. At June 30, 2014, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was $63.9 million, or 1.08% of total loans, compared with $64.7 million, or 1.25% of total loans at December 31, 2013.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income totaled $10.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 18.3%, compared to the same period in 2013. Income related to BOLI decreased $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to lower death benefit claims recognized. Fee income decreased $699,000 to $7.6 million, from $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, due to an $807,000 decrease in commercial loan prepayment fee income, partially offset by a $446,000 increase in wealth management fees. In addition, net gains on securities transactions declined $313,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. Other income increased $69,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to same period in 2013, due to a $486,000 gain recognized in the current period on the prepayment of FHLB borrowings acquired from Team Capital, increased net gains on sales of foreclosed real estate, and a reduction in gains on loan sales.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, non-interest income totaled $18.4 million, an decrease of $4.1 million, or 18.3%, compared to the same period in 2013. Fee income decreased $1.8 million, to $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with the same period in 2013, largely due to a $2.0 million decrease in prepayment fees on commercial loans, partially offset by a $728,000 increase in wealth management fees. BOLI income decreased $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, principally due to lower death benefit claims recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. Also contributing to the decline in non-interest income, net gains on securities transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2014 declined $1.2 million compared to the same period in 2013. These decreases were partially offset by a $114,000 increase in other income for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with the same period in 2013, primarily due to increased net gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate, the gain recognized on the prepayment of FHLB borrowings acquired from Team Capital, and a reduction in gains on loan sales.

Non-Interest Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, non-interest expense increased $5.9 million, to $43.7 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. Compensation and benefits expense increased $3.4 million, to $23.6 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, due to increased salary expense and $383,000 of severance and retention expense associated with the Team Capital acquisition, and a $1.3 million charge related to lump-sum pension distributions made to vested terminated employees as the Company seeks to lower and reduce the volatility of its future pension costs. This non-contributory pension plan was frozen as to new participants on April 1, 2003. Other operating expenses increased $2.0 million to $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $7.0 million for the same period in 2013, largely due to $1.7 million of non-recurring costs related to the Team Capital transaction. In addition, net occupancy costs increased $579,000, to $5.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to same quarter in 2013, principally due to increased equipment maintenance costs and additional facilities costs related to Team Capital.

Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $81.9 million, an increase of $7.1 million from the six months ended June 30, 2013. Compensation and benefits expense increased $4.0 million to $45.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, due to increased salary expense, severance and retention expense associated with Team Capital, increased pension costs associated with lump-sum pension distributions made to vested terminated employees and increased stock-based compensation. Other operating expenses increased $1.7 million to $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $12.7 million for the same period in 2013, primarily due to non-recurring costs related to Team Capital. In addition, net occupancy costs increased $1.5 million, to $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to same period in 2013, principally due to increased seasonal expense in the first quarter of 2014 related to the harsh winter conditions, increased equipment maintenance costs and the addition of facilities costs related to Team Capital. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest expense, the amortization of intangibles decreased $225,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with the same period in 2013, as a result of scheduled reductions in core deposit intangible amortization, and a $194,000 decline in FDIC insurance costs resulting from a lower assessment rate.

Income Tax Expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company’s income tax expense was $6.2 million and $13.9 million, respectively, compared with $8.0 million and $15.6 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were 27.5% and 29.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared with 29.4% and 29.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense and the effective tax rate was primarily a function of lower proportional pre-tax income from taxable sources, as tax exempt municipal securities and BOLI were added through the Team Capital acquisition.



Item 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Qualitative Analysis. Interest rate risk is the exposure of a bank’s current and future earnings and capital arising from adverse movements in interest rates. The guidelines of the Company’s interest rate risk policy seek to limit the exposure to changes in interest rates that affect the underlying economic value of assets and liabilities, earnings and capital. To minimize interest rate risk, the Company generally sells all 20- and 30-year fixed-rate mortgage loans at origination. Commercial real estate loans generally have interest rates that reset in five years, and other commercial loans such as construction loans and commercial lines of credit reset with changes in the Prime rate, the Federal Funds rate or LIBOR. Investment securities purchases generally have maturities of five years or less, and mortgage-backed securities have weighted average lives between three and five years.

The Asset/Liability Committee meets on at least a monthly basis to review the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income, net interest margin, net income and the economic value of equity. The Asset/Liability Committee reviews a variety of strategies that project changes in asset or liability mix and the impact of those changes on projected net interest income and net income.

The Company’s strategy for liabilities has been to maintain a stable core-funding base by focusing on core deposit account acquisition and increasing products and services per household. The Company’s ability to retain maturing time deposit accounts is the result of its strategy to remain competitively priced within its marketplace. The Company’s pricing strategy may vary depending upon current funding needs and the ability of the Company to fund operations through alternative sources, primarily by accessing short-term lines of credit with the FHLB of New York during periods of pricing dislocation.

Quantitative Analysis. Current and future sensitivity to changes in interest rates are measured through the use of balance sheet and income simulation models. The analysis captures changes in net interest income using flat rates as a base, a most likely rate forecast and rising and declining interest rate forecasts. Changes in net interest income and net income for the forecast period, generally twelve to twenty-four months, are measured and compared to policy limits for acceptable change. The Company periodically reviews historical deposit re-pricing activity and makes modifications to certain assumptions used in its income simulation model regarding the interest rate sensitivity of deposits without maturity dates. These modifications are made to more closely reflect the most likely results under the various interest rate change scenarios. Since it is inherently difficult to predict the sensitivity of interest bearing deposits to changes in interest rates, the changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates cannot be precisely predicted. There are a variety of reasons that may cause actual results to vary considerably from the predictions presented below which include, but are not limited to, the timing, magnitude, and frequency of changes in interest rates, interest rate spreads, prepayments, and actions taken in response to such changes.

Specific assumptions used in the simulation model include:


•	Parallel yield curve shifts for market rates;


•	Current asset and liability spreads to market interest rates are fixed;


•	Traditional savings and interest-bearing demand accounts move at 10% of the rate ramp in either direction;


•	Retail Money Market and Business Money Market accounts move at 25% and 75% of the rate ramp in either direction respectively; and


•	Higher-balance demand deposit tiers and promotional demand accounts move at up to 75% of the rate ramp in either direction

The following table sets forth the results of a twelve-month net interest income projection model as of June 30, 2014 (dollars in thousands):



Change in Interest Rates in Basis Points (Rate Ramp)	Net Interest Income
Change in Interest Rates in Basis Points (Rate Ramp)	Dollar Amount	Dollar Change		Percent Change
-100	237,891	(3,107	)	(1.3	)%
Static	240,998	—		—
+100	236,729	(4,269	)	(1.8	)
+200	232,078	(8,920	)	(3.7	)
+300	227,430	(13,568	)	(5.6	)

The preceding table indicates that, as of June 30, 2014, in the event of a 300 basis point increase in interest rates, whereby rates ramp up evenly over a twelve-month period, net interest income would decrease 5.6%, or $13.6 million. In the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, net interest income is projected to decrease $3.1 million over the same period.

Another measure of interest rate sensitivity is to model changes in economic value of equity through the use of immediate and sustained interest rate shocks. The following table illustrates the result of the economic value of equity model as of June 30, 2014 (dollars in thousands):



	Present Value of Equity					Present Value of Equity as Percent of Present Value of Assets
Change in Interest Rates (Basis Points)	Dollar Amount	Dollar Change		Percent Change		Present Value Ratio		Percent Change
-100	1,375,360	52,925		4.0	%	15.7	%	2.9	%
Flat	1,322,435	—		—		15.3		—
+100	1,279,938	(42,497	)	(3.2	)	14.9		(2.2	)
+200	1,225,915	(96,520	)	(7.3	)	14.4		(5.3	)
+300	1,159,494	(162,941	)	(12.3	)	13.8		(9.3	)

The preceding table indicates that as of June 30, 2014, in the event of an immediate and sustained 300 basis point increase in interest rates, the present value of equity is projected to decrease 12.3%, or $162.9 million. If rates were to decrease 100 basis points, the model forecasts a 4.0%, or $52.9 million increase in the present value of equity.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in net interest income requires the use of certain assumptions regarding prepayment and deposit decay rates, which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. While management believes such assumptions are reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates and decay rates will approximate actual future loan prepayment and deposit withdrawal activity. Moreover, the net interest income table presented assumes that the composition of interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net interest income table provides an indication of the Company’s interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurement is not intended to and does not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Company’s net interest income and will differ from actual results.
