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 consolidated statements of financial condition and the consolidated statements of income for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The allowance for loan losses, the valuation of securities available for sale and the valuation of deferred tax assets 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, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for all of 2016.

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, 2015 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K.

B. Earnings Per Share

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Note 2. Business Combinations

On April 1, 2015, Beacon Trust Company ("Beacon"), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Provident Bank, completed its acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of The MDE Group, Inc. and the equity interests of Acertus Capital Management, LLC (together "MDE"), both Morristown, New Jersey-based registered investment advisory firms that manage assets for affluent and high net-worth clients. MDE was acquired with both cash and contingent consideration.

The Company recognized goodwill of $18.3 million and a customer relationship intangible of $7.0 million related to the acquisition. The Company recognized a contingent consideration liability at its fair value of $338,000. The contingent consideration arrangement requires the Company to pay additional cash consideration to MDE’s former stakeholders four years after the closing of the acquisition if certain revenue targets are met. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The acquisition agreement limits the total payment to a maximum of $12.5 million, to be determined based on actual future results. In accordance with the acquisition agreement and based upon the Company's projection of future revenue, no contingent consideration liability was required at June 30, 2016.

Note 3. Investment Securities

At June 30, 2016, the Company had $1.01 billion and $478.8 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 ("OTTI") on certain investment securities in future periods. The total number of held to maturity and available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2016 totaled 28, compared with 163 at December 31, 2015. All securities with unrealized losses at June 30, 2016 were analyzed for other-than-temporary impairment. Based upon this analysis, the Company believes that as of June 30, 2016, such securities with unrealized losses do not represent impairments that are other-than-temporary.

Mortgage-backed securities totaling $901.4 million at amortized cost and $923.9 million at fair value are excluded from the table above as their expected lives are likely to be shorter than the contractual maturity date due to principal prepayments. Also excluded from the table above are equity securities of $397,000 at amortized cost and $531,000 at fair value.

No securities were sold from the available for sale portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the same period last year, proceeds from sales on securities available for sale were $14.0 million resulting in gross gains of $643,000 and no gross losses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, proceeds from the sale of securities available for sale were $2.2 million, resulting in gross gains of $95,000 and no gross losses. For the same period last year, proceeds from the sale of securities available for sale were $14.0 million, resulting in gross gains of $643,000 and no gross losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no calls of securities in the available for sale portfolio. For the same period last year, proceeds from calls on securities available for sale totaled $465,000, resulting in gross gains of $2,000 and no gross losses.

The Company did not incur an OTTI charge on securities in the available for sale portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

The following tables represent the Company’s disclosure regarding securities available for sale with temporary impairment at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

The temporary loss position associated with certain 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. The Company does not have the intent to sell securities in a temporary loss position at June 30, 2016, 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, 2016 totaled 7, compared with 64 at December 31, 2015. At June 30, 2016, there were three private label mortgage-backed securities in an unrealized loss position, with an amortized cost of $1.8 million and an unrealized loss of $26,000. One of these private label mortgage-backed securities was below investment grade at June 30, 2016.

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 six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company believes that no other-than-temporary impairment of the securities available for sale portfolio existed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Company generally purchases securities for long-term investment purposes, and differences between amortized cost and fair values may fluctuate during the investment period. There were no sales of securities from the held to maturity portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, proceeds from calls on certain securities in the held to maturity portfolio totaled $4.3 million and $14.9 million, respectively, with gross gains recognized of $1,000 and $2,000, respectively and no gross losses in either period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, proceeds

from calls of certain securities in the held to maturity portfolio totaled $9.1 million and $13.2 million, respectively, with no gross gains and no gross losses recognized in either period.

The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities in the held to maturity portfolio at June 30, 2016 by contractual maturity are shown below (in thousands). Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to prepayment or early call privileges of the issuer.

Mortgage-backed securities totaling $1.2 million at amortized cost and fair value are excluded from the table above as their expected lives are likely to be shorter than the contractual maturity date due to principal prepayments.

The following tables represent the Company’s disclosure on investment securities held to maturity with temporary impairment at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):



	June 30, 2016 Unrealized Losses

	$	31,350	(189	)	18,768	(339	)	50,118	(528	)

Based upon the review of the held to maturity securities portfolio, the Company believes that as of June 30, 2016, 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 held to maturity securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2016 totaled 21, compared with 99 at December 31, 2015. The decrease in the number of securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2016, was largely due to a decrease in market interest rates from December 31, 2015. All temporarily impaired investment securities were investment grade at June 30, 2016.

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 $43.0 million and $44.4 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Included in non-accrual loans were $4.8 million and $18.3 million of loans which were less than 90 days past due at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. There were no loans 90 days or greater past due and still accruing interest at June 30, 2016. At December 31, 2015, there was one commercial loan for $165,000 which was ninety days or greater past due and still accruing interest. This loan was past due for maturity and well secured at December 31, 2015, and subsequent to the end of the year was renewed by the Company.

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; (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 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, 2016, there were 140 impaired loans totaling $45.3 million. Included in this total were 115 TDRs related to 114 borrowers totaling $21.3 million that were performing in accordance with their restructured terms and which continued to accrue interest at June 30, 2016. At December 31, 2015, there were 148 impaired loans totaling $50.9 million. Included in this total were 122 TDRs to 120 borrowers totaling $26.0 million that were performing in accordance with their restructured terms and which continued to accrue interest at December 31, 2015.

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, 2016 and 2015 along with their balances immediately prior to the modification date and post-modification as of June 30, 2016 and 2015. There were no loans modified as TDRs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

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, 2015 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 table for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the allowance for loan losses associated with the TDRs presented in the preceding tables totaled $88,000 and $173,000, 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, 2015, the TDRs presented in the preceding tables had a weighted average modified interest rate of approximately 3.53% and 5.41%, respectively, compared to a rate of 5.41% and 5.80% prior to modification, respectively.

The following table presents loans modified as TDRs within the 12 month periods ending June 30, 2016 and 2015, and for which there was a payment default (90 days or more past due) within the respective one year period:



	June 30, 2016			June 30, 2015

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.

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

PCI loans declined $1.0 million to $2.4 million at June 30, 2016, from $3.4 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease from December 31, 2015, was largely due to the full repayment and greater than projected cash flows on certain PCI loans. This resulted in a $223,000 and a $503,000 increase in interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and a $145,000 and $220,000 increase in interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, largely due to the acceleration of accretable and non-accretable discounts on these loans.

The following table summarizes the changes in the accretable yield for PCI loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

Specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses attributable to impaired loans totaled $2.3 million at both June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, impaired loans for which there was no related allowance for loan

losses totaled $28.3 million and $33.4 million, respectively. The average balance of impaired loans for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $45.7 million.

The Company utilizes an internal nine-point risk rating system to summarize its loan portfolio into categories with similar risk characteristics. Loans deemed to be “acceptable quality” are rated 1 through 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 the Credit Administration Department. The risk ratings are also confirmed through periodic loan review examinations, which are currently performed by an independent third party. Reports by the independent third party are presented directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Note 6. Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost

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

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 is 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 ten 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 ten 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, 2016 and 2015 includes the following components (in thousands):



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

In its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company previously disclosed that it does not expect to contribute to the pension plan in 2016. As of June 30, 2016, no contributions have been made to the pension plan.

The net periodic benefit (increase) cost for pension benefits and other post-retirement benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were calculated using the actual January 1, 2016 pension and other post-retirement benefits valuations.

Note 7. Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments in this ASU require financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses would represent a valuation account that would be deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The income statement would reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses would be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity will be required to use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)." The objective of this ASU is to simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under this ASU, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) should be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in

the reporting period in which they occur. An entity also should recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. An entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest (current accounting) or account for forfeitures when they occur. Within the Statement of Cash Flow, excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity, and cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU requires all lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset, measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments, at the lease commencement date. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged under the new guidance. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective approach must be applied for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities." This ASU addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This amendment supersedes the guidance to classify equity securities with readily determinable fair values into different categories, requires equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income, and simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The amendment requires public business entities that are required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet to measure that fair value using the exit price notion. The amendment requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. The amendment requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. The amendment reduces diversity in current practice by clarifying that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available for sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the amendment by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, with the exception of the amendment related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values, which should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The Company intends to adopt the accounting standard during the first quarter of 2018, as required, and is currently evaluating the impact that the guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement - Period Adjustments." The amendments in this update apply to all entities that have reported provisional amounts for items in a business combination for which the accounting is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs and during the measurement period have an adjustment to provisional amounts recognized. In these cases, the acquirer must record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company’s adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued 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," which 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 adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Also in June 2014, the FASB 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 was prohibited. The Company's adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on its 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 and Liabilities 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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 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 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.

Derivatives

The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship

and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Currently, none of the Company’s derivatives are designated in qualifying hedging relationships. The existing interest rate derivatives result from a service provided to certain qualifying borrowers in a loan related transaction and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities. As such, all changes in fair value of the Company’s derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

The Company also uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, and which satisfy hedge accounting requirements, involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. These derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash outflows associated with Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of these derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

The fair value of the Company's derivatives are determined using discounted cash flow analysis using observable market-based inputs, which are considered Level 2 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Collateral Dependent Impaired Loans

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 between 6% and 10%. The Company classifies these loans as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are carried at fair value, less estimated selling costs, which range between 6% and 10%. 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair values as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The Company is required to disclose the 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.

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") Stock

The carrying value of FHLBNY stock was its cost. The fair value of FHLBNY 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Fair values are presented by level within the fair value hierarchy.

Note 10. Derivative and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities.

Non-designated Hedges. Derivatives not designated in qualifying hedging relationships are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain qualifying commercial borrowers in loan related transactions and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. The interest rate swap agreement which the Company executes with the commercial borrower is collateralized by the borrower's property financed by the Company. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had 30 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $485.6 million and 23 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $391.4 million, respectively, related to this program.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk. The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash outflows associated with Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The Company implemented this program during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company did not record any hedge ineffectiveness.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $359,000 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had one outstanding interest rate derivative with a notional amount of $40.0 million that was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

The Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

In addition, the Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision that if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well / adequate capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

As of June 30, 2016, the termination value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest, was $21.6 million. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties, and has posted collateral of $21.8 million against its obligations under these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2016, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

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 collectability 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 estimates the amount of loan losses for groups of loans by applying quantitative loss factors to loan segments at the risk rating level, and applying qualitative adjustments to each loan segment at the portfolio level. Quantitative loss factors give consideration to historical loss experience by loan type based upon an appropriate look back period and adjusted for a loss emergence period. Quantitative loss factors are evaluated at least annually. Qualitative adjustments give consideration to other qualitative or environmental factors such as trends and levels of delinquencies, impaired loans, charge-offs, recoveries and loan volumes, as well as national and local economic trends and conditions. Qualitative adjustments reflect risks in the loan portfolio not captured by the quantitative loss factors and, as such, are evaluated from a risk level perspective relative to the risk levels present over the look back period. Qualitative adjustments are evaluated at least quarterly. The reserves resulting from the application of both of these sets of loss factors are combined to arrive at the allowance for loan losses.

Management believes the primary risks inherent in the portfolio are a general decline in the economy, a decline in real estate market values, rising unemployment or a protracted period of elevated unemployment, 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 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 completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2015. 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’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 8 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. 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 its evaluations, the Company did not recognize an other-than-temporary impairment charge on securities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

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. The Company did not require a valuation allowance at June 30, 2016.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2016 AND DECEMBER 31, 2015

Total assets increased $315.1 million to $9.23 billion at June 30, 2016, from $8.91 billion at December 31, 2015, primarily due to a $243.3 million increase in total loans and a $52.3 million increase in total investments.

Total loans increased $243.3 million, or 3.7%, to $6.78 billion at June 30, 2016, from $6.54 billion at December 31, 2015. Loan originations totaled $1.5 billion and loan purchases totaled $28.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The balance of these “Alt-A” loans at June 30, 2016 was $5.8 million. Of this total, 5 loans totaling $839,000 were 90 days or more delinquent. These loans were allocated total loss reserves of $58,500.

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 $221.8 million and $178.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2016. No SNCs were 90 days or more delinquent at June 30, 2016.

At June 30, 2016, the allowance for loan losses totaled $60.9 million, or 0.90% of total loans, compared with $61.4 million, or 0.94% of total loans at December 31, 2015. Total non-performing loans were $43.0 million, or 0.63% of total loans at June 30, 2016, compared to $44.5 million, or 0.68% of total loans at December 31, 2015. The $1.5 million decrease in non-performing loans consisted of a $5.9 million decrease in non-performing commercial loans and a $907,000 decrease in non-performing consumer loans, partially offset by a $3.0 million increase in non-performing commercial mortgage loans, a $1.1 million increase

in non-performing multi-family loans and a $1.1 million increase in non-performing residential mortgage loans. Non-performing loans do not include $2.4 million of purchased credit impaired ("PCI") loans acquired from Team Capital.

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company held $10.5 million of foreclosed assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were 14 additions to foreclosed assets with a carrying value of $2.5 million and 15 properties sold with a carrying value of $2.1 million. Foreclosed assets at June 30, 2016 consisted of $5.5 million of residential real estate, $4.8 million of commercial real estate and $135,000 of marine vessels.

Non-performing assets totaled $53.5 million, or 0.58% of total assets at June 30, 2016, compared to $55.1 million, or 0.62% of total assets at December 31, 2015.

Total investments increased $52.3 million, or 3.45%, to $1.57 billion at June 30, 2016, from $1.52 billion at December 31, 2015, largely due to purchases of mortgage-backed and municipal securities and an increase in unrealized gains on securities available for sale, 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 $305.9 million, or 5.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, to $6.23 billion. Total core deposits, which consist of savings and demand deposit accounts, increased $311.2 million to $5.50 billion at June 30, 2016, while time deposits decreased $5.3 million to $734.4 million at June 30, 2016. The increase in core deposits was largely attributable to an $111.1 million increase in interest bearing demand deposits, a $79.5 million increase in money market deposits, a $70.0 million increase in savings deposits and a $50.6 million increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits. Core deposits represented 88.2% of total deposits at June 30, 2016, compared to 87.5% at December 31, 2015.

Borrowed funds decreased $42.4 million, or 2.5%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, to $1.67 billion, as shorter-term wholesale funding was replaced by net inflows of deposits for the period. Borrowed funds represented 18.0% of total assets at June 30, 2016, a decrease from 19.2% at December 31, 2015.

Stockholders’ equity increased $33.5 million, or 2.8%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, to $1.23 billion, due to net income earned for the period and an increase in unrealized gains on securities available for sale, partially offset by cash dividends paid to stockholders. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, 146,469 shares of common stock were repurchased at an average cost of $18.45 per share, which were made in connection with withholding to cover income taxes on the vesting of stock-based compensation. At June 30, 2016, 3.2 million shares remained eligible for repurchase under the current authorization. Book value per share and tangible book value per share at June 30, 2016 were $18.68 and $12.23, respectively, compared with $18.26 and $11.75, respectively, at December 31, 2015.

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 FHLBNY 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.

In July 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that revised the 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. The rule became effective January 1, 2015. Among other things, the rule establishes a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), adopts a uniform minimum leverage capital ratio at 4%, 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 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. The Company has exercised the option to exclude unrealized gains and losses from the calculation of regulatory capital. Additional constraints were also 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 capital conservation buffer was effective on January 1, 2016, with a 0.625% requirement, and will continue to be phased in through January 1, 2019, when the full capital requirement will be effective.

As of June 30, 2016, the Bank and the Company exceeded all current minimum regulatory capital requirements as follows:



	June 30, 2016
	Required				Required with Capital Conservation Buffer				Actual

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 AND 2015

General. The Company reported net income of $21.4 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net income of $21.8 million, or $0.35 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reported net income of $42.3 million, or $0.67 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $41.6 million, or $0.66 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year.

Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were favorably impacted by growth in average loans outstanding, along with growth in both average non-interest bearing deposits and average interest bearing core deposits. These factors helped mitigate the impact of compression in the net interest margin.

Net Interest Income. Total net interest income increased $2.2 million to $63.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, from $61.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, total net interest income increased $3.4 million, or 2.7%, to $127.0 million, from $123.6 million for the same period in 2015. Interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 increased $2.6 million to $74.8 million, from $72.2 million for the same period in 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, interest income increased $4.4 million to $148.8 million, from $144.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Interest expense increased $381,000, or 3.6%, to $10.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, from $10.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, interest expense increased $983,000 to $21.8 million, from $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The improvement in net interest income for the comparative periods was due to growth in average loans outstanding resulting from organic originations and increases in both average non-interest bearing demand deposits and average interest bearing core deposits, partially offset by period-over-period compression in the net interest margin. The growth in average core deposits mitigated the Company's need to utilize higher-cost sources to fund loan growth.

The net interest margin decreased 6 basis points to 3.11% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared with 3.17% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The weighted average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 7 basis points to 3.64% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared with 3.71% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, while the weighted average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 1 basis point to 0.66% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared with 0.67% for the second quarter of 2015. The average cost of interest bearing deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was 0.33%, compared with 0.31% for the same period last year. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $1.21 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared with $1.10 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The average cost of borrowed funds for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was 1.72%, compared with 1.77% for the same period last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the net interest margin decreased 9 basis points to 3.11%, compared with 3.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The weighted average yield on interest earning assets declined 9 basis points to 3.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared with 3.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, while the weighted average cost of interest bearing liabilities remained unchanged at 0.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. The average cost of interest bearing deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 0.33%, compared

with 0.31% for the same period last year. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $1.20 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared with $1.08 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The average cost of borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 1.71%, compared with 1.80% for the same period last year.

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 $1.7 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. This compared with provisions for loan losses of $1.1 million and $1.7 million recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had net charge-offs of $3.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively, compared with net charge-offs of $2.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2015. At June 30, 2016, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was $60.9 million, or 0.90% of total loans, compared with $61.4 million, or 0.94% of total loans at December 31, 2015.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income totaled $13.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 18.4%, compared to the same period in 2015. Other income decreased $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, largely due to a $1.9 million decrease in net fees on loan-level interest rate swap transactions, partially offset by an additional $131,000 gain recognized on the sale of deposits resulting from a strategic branch divestiture in the first quarter of 2016. Wealth management income decreased $586,000 to $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease in wealth management income was primarily attributable to weakened market conditions which negatively impacted fees earned from assets under management, along with a reduction in income associated with the licensing of indices to ETF providers. Also contributing to the decrease in non-interest income, fee income decreased $470,000 to $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2015. This decrease was largely due to a $325,000 decrease in commercial loan prepayment fee income and a $227,000 decrease in debit card revenue, partially offset by a $140,000 increase in loan related fee income. Net gains on securities transactions decreased $642,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, non-interest income totaled $26.8 million, a decrease of $403,000, compared to the same period in 2015. Other income decreased $1.0 million to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared with the same period in 2015, largely due to a $2.3 million decrease in net fees on loan-level interest rate swap transactions, partially offset by a $335,000 gain recognized on the sale of deposits resulting from a strategic branch divestiture and a $206,000 increase in net gains recognized on loan sales. Also contributing to the decrease in non-interest income, net gains on securities transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $548,000 compared to the same period in 2015. Partially offsetting these decreases, wealth management income increased $1.2 million to $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, largely due to fees from assets under management acquired in the MDE acquisition, which closed April 1, 2015, partially offset by the negative impact of a reduction in income associated with the licensing of indices to ETF providers.

Non-Interest Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, non-interest expense decreased $222,000 to $45.9 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. Net occupancy expense decreased $509,000 to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $6.6 million for the same period in 2015. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in facilities and equipment maintenance expenses, as well as a decrease in net rent expense. Advertising and promotion expenses decreased $480,000 to $901,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, largely due to the timing of the Company's advertising campaigns. Other operating expenses decreased $426,000 to $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, largely due to $413,000 of non-recurring professional services costs related to the MDE transaction in the quarter ended June 30, 2015, partially offset by an increase in non-performing asset related expenses. Additionally, the amortization of intangibles decreased $268,000 for the the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared with the same period in 2015, as a result of scheduled reductions in amortization. Partially offsetting these decreases in non-interest expense, compensation and benefits expense increased $1.3 million to $25.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $24.4 million for the same period in 2015. This increase was principally due to additional salary expense related to annual merit increases, an increase in the accrual for incentive compensation and an increase in employee medical and retirement benefit costs. Also, data processing expense increased $113,000 to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2015, primarily due to an increase in software maintenance costs.

Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $90.8 million, an increase of $1.2 million from $89.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Compensation and benefits expense increased $3.2 million to $51.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $48.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, due to increased salary expense associated with new employees from MDE, additional salary expense associated with annual merit increases and an increase in employee medical and retirement benefit costs. In addition, data processing expense increased $331,000 to $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2015, principally due to an increase in software maintenance costs. Net occupancy costs decreased $1.2 million, to $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to same period in 2015, principally due to a decrease in seasonal expenses resulting from a milder winter, combined with decreases

in facilities and equipment maintenance expenses. Other operating expenses decreased $594,000 to $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, largely due to $413,000 of non-recurring professional services costs associated with the MDE transaction for the six months ended June 30, 2015, partially offset by an increase in non-performing asset related expenses. In addition, advertising and promotion expenses decreased $362,000 to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, largely due to the timing of the Company's advertising campaigns, while the amortization of intangibles decreased $190,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared with the same period in 2015, as a result of scheduled reductions in amortization.

Income Tax Expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s income tax expense was $8.8 million and $17.5 million, respectively, compared with $9.6 million and $18.0 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were 29.1% and 29.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared with 30.6% and 30.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as a greater proportion of income was derived from non-taxable sources in the current year periods.



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 FHLBNY 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 50% 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, 2016 (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	$	247,706	$	(6,906	)	(2.7	)%
Static	254,612		—			—
+100	253,212		(1,400		)	(0.5	)
+200	251,077		(3,535		)	(1.4	)
+300	249,844		(4,768		)	(1.9	)

The preceding table indicates that, as of June 30, 2016, 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 1.9%, or $4.8 million. In the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, net interest income would decrease 2.7%, or $6.9 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, 2016 (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	$	1,283,249	$	(16,290	)	(1.3	)%	13.7	%	(1.5	)%
Flat	1,299,539		—			—		13.9		—
+100	1,276,016		(23,523		)	(1.8	)	13.8		(1.1	)
+200	1,238,460		(61,079		)	(4.7	)	13.5		(3.3	)
+300	1,184,599		(114,940		)	(8.8	)	13.0		(6.6	)

The preceding table indicates that as of June 30, 2016, in the event of an immediate and sustained 300 basis point increase in interest rates, the present value of equity is projected to decrease 8.8%, or $114.9 million. If rates were to decrease 100 basis points, the model forecasts a 1.3%, or $16.3 million decrease 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.
