Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”, “us”, “our”, or “we”) and Lake Shore Savings Bank (the “Bank”), its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions of the consolidated subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein as of June 30, 2017 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and therefore, do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of such information and to make the financial statements not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent period or the entire year ending December 31, 2017.

To prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management of the Company made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the reporting of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, securities valuation estimates, evaluation of impairment of securities and income taxes.

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the statement of financial condition as of June 30, 2017 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

Note 2 – New Accounting Standards

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 was issued in order to provide clarity and reduce both the (1) diversity in practice and (2) the cost and complexity when applying the guidance in FASB Topic 718 to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 for all public business entities. Early application is permitted for any interim period. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

The Company reviews investment securities on an ongoing basis for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) with formal reviews performed quarterly.

At June 30, 2017, the Company’s investment portfolio included several securities, including one private label asset-backed security, in the “unrealized losses less than twelve months” category. With the exception of the private label asset-backed security, the securities were not evaluated further for OTTI as the unrealized losses on the individual securities were less than 20% of book value, which management deemed to be immaterial, and the securities were issued by government sponsored enterprises.

At June 30, 2017, the Company had several securities in the “unrealized losses twelve months or more” category. These securities were not evaluated further for OTTI, as the unrealized losses were less than 20% of book value. The temporary impairments were due to declines in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates and/or increased credit liquidity spreads since the securities were purchased.

Any private label asset-backed security with unrealized losses are evaluated further for OTTI, if the probability of default is high and the Company’s analysis indicates a possible loss of principal. The following tables provide additional information relating to the private label asset-backed securities that were further evaluated as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Management’s evaluation of the estimated discounted cash flows in comparison to the amortized book value for the security listed above did not reflect the need to record an OTTI charge against earnings as of June 30, 2017. The estimated discounted cash flows for this security did not show an additional principal loss under various prepayment and default rate scenarios.

Management also completed an OTTI analysis for two private label asset-backed securities, which did not have unrealized losses as of June 30, 2017. Management’s calculation of the estimated discounted cash flows did not show additional principal losses for these securities under various prepayment and default rate scenarios. As a result of the stress tests that were performed, management concluded that additional OTTI charges were not required as of June 30, 2017 on these securities.

The unrealized losses shown in the previous tables, were recorded as a component of other comprehensive loss, net of tax benefit on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

The following table presents a summary of the credit-related OTTI charges recognized as components of income:

A deterioration in credit quality and/or other factors that may limit the liquidity of a security in our portfolio might adversely affect the fair values of the Company’s investment portfolio and may increase the potential that certain unrealized losses will be designated as “other-than-temporary” and that the Company may incur additional write-downs in future periods.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company sold nine U.S. treasury bonds for total proceeds of $14.4 million resulting in gross realized gains of $1.6 million.

Note 4 - Allowance for Loan Losses

Management segregates the loan portfolio into loan types and analyzes the risk level for each loan type when determining its allowance for loan losses. The loan types are as follows:

Real Estate Loans:

One- to Four-Family – are loans secured by first lien collateral on residential real estate primarily held in the Western New York region. These loans can be affected by economic conditions and the value of underlying properties. Western New York’s housing market has consistently demonstrated stability in home prices despite economic conditions. Furthermore, the Company has conservative underwriting standards and its residential lending policies and procedures ensure that its one- to four-family residential mortgage loans generally conform to secondary market guidelines.

Home Equity - are loans or lines of credit secured by first or second liens on owner-occupied residential real estate primarily held in the Western New York region. These loans can also be affected by economic conditions and the values of underlying properties. Home equity loans may have increased risk of loss if the Company does not hold the first mortgage resulting in the Company being in a secondary position in the event of collateral liquidation. The Company does not originate interest only home equity loans.

Commercial Real Estate – are loans used to finance the purchase of real property, which generally consists of developed real estate that is held as first lien collateral for the loan. These loans are secured by real estate properties that are primarily held in the Western New York region. Commercial real estate lending involves additional risks compared with one- to four-family residential lending, because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, and/or the collateral value of the commercial real estate securing the loan, and repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or economic conditions to a greater extent than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Also, commercial real estate loans typically involve relatively large loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers.

Construction – are loans to finance the construction of either one- to four-family owner occupied homes or commercial real estate. At the end of the construction period, the loan automatically converts to either a one- to four-family or commercial mortgage, as applicable. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion compared to the actual cost of construction. The Company limits its risk during construction as disbursements are not made until the required work for each advance has been completed and an updated lien search is performed. The completion of the construction progress is

verified by a Company loan officer or inspections performed by an independent appraisal firm. Construction loans also expose us to the risk of construction delays which may impair the borrower’s ability to repay the loan.

Other Loans:

Commercial – includes business installment loans, lines of credit, and other commercial loans. Most of our commercial loans have fixed interest rates, and are for terms generally not in excess of 5 years. Whenever possible, we collateralize these loans with a lien on business assets and equipment and require the personal guarantees from principals of the borrower. Commercial loans generally involve a higher degree of credit risk because the collateral underlying the loans may be in the form of intangible assets and/or inventory subject to market obsolescence. Commercial loans can also involve relatively large loan balances to a single borrower or groups of related borrowers, with the repayment of such loans typically dependent on the successful operation of the commercial business and the income stream of the borrower. Such risks can be significantly affected by economic conditions. Although commercial loans may be collateralized by equipment or other business assets, the liquidation of collateral in the event of a borrower default may be an insufficient source of repayment because the equipment or other business assets may be obsolete or of limited use, among other things. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial loan depends primarily on the credit worthiness of the borrowers (and any guarantors), while liquidation of collateral is a secondary and often insufficient source of repayment.

Consumer – consist of loans secured by collateral such as an automobile or a deposit account, unsecured loans and lines of credit. Consumer loans tend to have a higher credit risk due to the loans being either unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciable assets. Furthermore, consumer loan payments are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and therefore are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account that reflects the Company’s evaluation of the losses inherent in its loan portfolio. In order to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company estimates losses by loan type using historical loss factors, as well as other environmental factors, such as trends in loan volume and loan type, loan concentrations, changes in the experience, ability and depth of the Company’s lending management, and national and local economic conditions. The Company's determination as to the classification of loans and the amount of loss allowances are subject to review by bank regulators, which can require the establishment of additional loss allowances.

The Company also reviews all loans on which the collectability of principal may not be reasonably assured, by reviewing payment status, financial conditions and estimated value of loan collateral. These loans are assigned an internal loan grade, and the Company assigns an amount of loss allowances to these classified loans based on loan grade.

The following tables summarize the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the distribution of the allowance for loan losses and loans receivable by loan portfolio class and impairment method as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

⁽¹⁾

Gross Loans Receivable does not include allowance for loan losses of $(2,882) or deferred loan costs of $3,016.

Although the allocations noted above are by loan type, the allowance for loan losses is general in nature and is available to offset losses from any loan in the Company’s portfolio. The unallocated component of the allowance for loan losses reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for existing specific and general losses in the portfolio.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial real estate loans and commercial loans. Larger groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer, home equity, or one- to four-family loans for impairment disclosure, unless they are subject to a troubled debt restructuring.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. A loan does not have to be 90 days delinquent in order to be classified as non-accrual. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. If ultimate collection of principal is in doubt, all cash receipts on impaired loans are applied to reduce the principal balance. Interest income not recognized on non-accrual loans during the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $147,000 for each period.

The Company’s policies provide for the classification of loans as follows:

Pass/Performing;

Special Mention – does not currently expose the Company to a sufficient degree of risk but does possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving the Company’s close attention;

Substandard – has one or more well-defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. A substandard asset would be one inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or pledged collateral, if applicable;

Doubtful – has all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss; and

Loss – loan is considered uncollectible and continuance without the establishment of a specific valuation reserve is not warranted.

The Company’s Asset Classification Committee is responsible for monitoring risk ratings and making changes as deemed appropriate. Each commercial loan is individually assigned a loan classification. The Company’s consumer loans, including residential one- to four-family loans and home equity loans, are not classified as described above. Instead, the Company uses the delinquency status as the basis for classifying these loans. Generally, all consumer loans more than 90 days past due are classified and placed in non-accrual. Such loans that are well-secured and in the process of collection will remain in accrual status.

The following table summarizes the internal loan grades applied to the Company’s loan portfolio as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) occur when we grant borrowers concessions that we would not otherwise grant but for economic or legal reasons pertaining to the borrower’s financial difficulties. A concession is made when the terms of the loan modification are more favorable than the terms the borrower would have received in the current market under similar financial difficulties. These concessions may include, but are not limited to, modifications of the terms of the debt, the transfer of assets or the issuance of an equity interest by the borrower to satisfy all or part of the debt, or the addition of borrower(s). The Company identifies loans for potential TDRs primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future. Generally, we will not return a TDR to accrual status until the borrower has demonstrated the ability to make principal and interest payments under the restructured terms for at least six consecutive months. The Company’s TDRs are impaired loans, which may result in specific allocations and subsequent charge-offs if appropriate.

There were no loans restructured and classified as TDRs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 or during the three months ended June 30, 2016.

The following table details the activity in loans which were first deemed to be TDRs during the six months ended June 30, 2016:


	For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
	Number of Loans		Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment		Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment
	(Dollars in thousands)
Real Estate Loans:
Residential, one- to four-family		1	$	31	$	31
Total		1	$	31	$	31

The loan above was deemed to be a TDR due to the borrower’s financial difficulties and due to modifications of the terms of the debt related to the bankruptcy of the borrower.

Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in full collection of principal and interest, as modified, which may result in potential losses. These potential losses have been factored into our overall estimate of the allowance for loan losses.

Foreclosed real estate consists of property acquired in settlement of loans which is carried at its fair value less estimated selling costs. Write-downs from cost to fair value less estimated selling costs are recorded at the date of acquisition or repossession and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Foreclosed real estate was $242,000 and $412,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and was included as a component of other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The recorded investment of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure

proceedings are in process according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction was $887,000 and $767,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Note 5 – Earnings per Share

Earnings per share was calculated for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, exclusive of unearned shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “ESOP”), unearned shares held by the Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”), and unearned shares held by the Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”). Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of dilutive securities. Stock options are regarded as potential common stock and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent they would be dilutive and computed using the treasury stock method.

The calculated basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2017		2016
Numerator – net income	$	1,142,000	$	664,000
Denominator:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding		6,122,800		6,002,253
Increase in weighted average shares outstanding due to:
Stock options		9,081		12,669
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding (1)		6,131,881		6,014,922

Earnings per share:
Basic	$	0.19	$	0.11
Diluted	$	0.19	$	0.11

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017		2016

Denominator:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding		6,106,585		5,982,063
Increase in weighted average shares outstanding due to:
Stock options		9,088		12,529
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding (1)		6,115,673		5,994,592

Earnings per share:

Diluted	$	0.30	$	0.44

⁽¹⁾

Stock options to purchase 64,547 shares under the Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan and 20,000 shares under the EIP at $14.38 were outstanding during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, but were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 6 – Commitments to Extend Credit

The Company has commitments to extend credit with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. There were no loss reserves associated with these commitments at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

The following commitments to extend credit were outstanding as of the dates specified:


	Contract Amount
	June 30,		December 31,
	2017		2016
	(Dollars in thousands)

Commitments to grant loans	$	15,478	$	24,707
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit	$	35,523	$	35,356

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s loan commitments that have fixed interest rates for the next five years totaled $6.1 million and $12.0 million, respectively. The range of interest rates on these fixed rate commitments was 3.50% to 6.25% at June 30, 2017.

Note 7 – Stock-based Compensation

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had four stock-based compensation plans, which are described below. The compensation cost that has been recorded under salary and benefits expense in the non-interest expense section of the consolidated statements of income for these plans was $149,000 and $107,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The compensation cost that has been recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $272,000 and $199,000, respectively.

2006 Stock Option Plan

The Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders, permitted the grant of options to its employees and non-employee directors for up to 297,562 shares of common stock. The Stock Option Plan expired on October 24, 2016, and grants of options can no longer be awarded.

Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options have been granted under the Stock Option Plan. The exercise price of each stock option equals the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and an option’s maximum term is ten years. The stock options generally vest over a five year period.

A summary of the status of the Stock Option Plan as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 is presented below:


	June 30, 2017				June 30, 2016

At June 30, 2017, $147,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the Stock Option Plan is expected to be recognized over a period of 52 months.

2006 Recognition and Retention Plan

The Company’s 2006 Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders, permitted the grant of restricted stock awards (“Awards”) to employees and non-employee directors for up to 119,025 shares of common stock. The RRP expired on October 24, 2016, and as of October 24, 2016 all shares permitted under the plan have been granted.

As of June 30, 2017, there were 94,915 shares vested or distributed to eligible participants under the RRP. Compensation expense amounted to $22,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and $16,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Compensation expense amounted to $44,000 and $33,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At June 30, 2017, $240,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the RRP is expected to be recognized over a period of 52 months.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”)

The Company established the ESOP for the benefit of eligible employees of the Company and Bank. All Company and Bank employees meeting certain age and service requirements are eligible to participate in the ESOP. Participants’ benefits become fully vested after five years of service once the employee is eligible to participate in the ESOP. The Company utilized $2.6 million of the proceeds of its 2006 stock offering to extend a loan to the ESOP and the ESOP used such proceeds to purchase 238,050 shares of stock on the open market at an average price of $10.70 per share, plus commission expenses. As a result of the purchase of shares by the ESOP, total stockholders’ equity of the Company was reduced by $2.6 million. As of June 30, 2017, the balance of the loan to the ESOP was $1.6 million and the fair value of unallocated shares was $2.3 million. As of June 30, 2017, there were 64,200 allocated shares and 150,765 unallocated shares compared to 63,594 allocated shares and 158,699 unallocated shares at June 30, 2016. The ESOP compensation expense was $32,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and $27,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 based on 1,984 shares earned in each of those quarters. The ESOP compensation expense was $63,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $53,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 based on 3,968 shares earned in each of those periods.

Note 8 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported here.

The measurement of fair value under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”) establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities measurements (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable input measurements (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows:


	Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2017

Any transfers between levels would be recognized as of the actual date of event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no reclassifications between the Level 1 and Level 2 categories for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Level 2 inputs for assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the securities available for sale measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), specifically, asset-backed securities - private label, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:


	2017		2016

Principal paydowns		(287)		(349)
Transfers to (out of) Level 3		-		-
Ending Balance	$	510	$	1,149

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, any unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about the Level 3 inputs for the asset-backed securities - private label category. The fair values for this category were developed using the discounted cash flow technique with the following unobservable input ranges as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Level 3 inputs are determined by the Company’s management using inputs from its third party financial advisor on a quarterly basis. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s asset-backed, private label securities are prepayment rates, probability of default and loss severity in the event of default. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.

In addition to disclosure of the fair value of assets on a recurring basis, ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as impaired assets and foreclosed real estate. Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of these loans. Non-recurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated as required by ASC Topic 310, “Receivables – Loan Impairment,” when establishing the allowance for loan losses. An impaired loan is carried at fair value based on either a recent appraisal less estimated selling costs of underlying collateral or discounted cash flows based on current market conditions.

For assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows:


	Fair Value Measurements
			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs
	Fair Value		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

At December 31, 2016
Impaired loans	$	760	$	-	$	-	$	760
Foreclosed real estate		241		-		-		241

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:


	Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
(Dollars in thousands)	Fair Value Estimate		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range
At June 30, 2017
Impaired loans	$	1,209	Market valuation of underlying collateral (1)	Direct Disposal Costs (2)	15.00-17.00%
Foreclosed real estate		200	Market valuation of property (1)	Direct Disposal Costs (2)	7.00-10.00%
At December 31, 2016
Impaired loans	$	760	Market valuation of underlying collateral (1) and discounted cash flows (3)	Direct Disposal Costs (2)	7.00-33.00%
Foreclosed real estate		241	Market valuation of property (1)	Direct Disposal Costs (2)	7.00-10.00%

⁽¹⁾

Fair value is generally determined through independent third-party appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally includes various Level 3 inputs which are not observable.

⁽²⁾

The fair value basis of impaired loans and foreclosed real estate may be adjusted to reflect management estimates of disposal costs including, but not necessarily limited to, real estate brokerage commissions, legal fees, and delinquent property taxes.

⁽³⁾

Fair value is generally determined using a discounted future cash flow method for non-collateral dependent loans. This method takes into account interest rates currently being offered to customers for loans with similar terms and with estimated maturity. The estimate of maturity is based on the borrower’s contractual cash flows and may be adjusted for prepayment estimates based on current economic and lending conditions. This method was used for one loan during the period indicated and this loan was fully paid off during the second quarter of 2017.

At June 30, 2017, impaired loans valued using Level 3 inputs had a carrying amount of $1.2 million and valuation allowances of $250,000. By comparison at December 31, 2016, impaired loans valued using Level 3 inputs had a carrying amount of $1.2 million and valuation allowances of $400,000.

Once a loan is determined to be impaired, the fair value of the loan continues to be evaluated based upon the market value of the underlying collateral securing the loan or by using a discounted future cash flow method if the loan is not collateral dependent. At June 30, 2017, impaired loans whose carrying amount was updated utilizing Level 3 inputs during the six months ended June 30, 2017 comprised of two loans with a fair value of $1.6 million and resulted in a reduction to provision for loan loss of $140,000. At December 31, 2016, impaired loans whose carrying amount was written down utilizing Level 3 inputs during the year ended December 31, 2016 comprised of two loans with a fair value of $1.0 million and resulted in an additional provision for loan loss of $400,000.

At June 30, 2017, foreclosed real estate valued using Level 3 inputs had a carrying amount of $300,000 and valuation allowances of $100,000. By comparison at December 31, 2016, foreclosed real estate valued using Level 3 inputs had a carrying amount of $341,000 and valuation allowances of $100,000.

Once a loan is foreclosed, the fair value of the real estate owned continues to be evaluated based upon the market value of the repossessed real estate originally securing the loan. At June 30, 2017, foreclosed real estate whose carrying value was written down utilizing Level 3 inputs during the six months ended June 30, 2017 comprised of four properties with a fair value of $112,000 and a $24,000 subsequent write-down, which was recorded in non-interest expense. At December 31, 2016, foreclosed real estate whose carrying value was written down utilizing Level 3 inputs during the year ended December 31, 2016 comprised of six properties with a fair value of $217,000 and resulted in an additional provision for loan losses of $73,000 and subsequent write-downs recorded in non-interest expense of $6,000.

The following valuation techniques were used to measure the fair value of financial instruments in the above table:

Cash and cash equivalents (carried at cost)

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Securities available for sale (carried at fair value)

The fair value of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1) or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution date, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things. Level 2 securities which are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets, are valued using prices obtained from our custodian, who use third party data service providers. Securities available for sale measured within the Level 3 category consist of private label asset-backed securities. The fair value measurement for these Level 3 securities is explained more fully earlier in this footnote.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock (carried at cost)

The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value.

Loans Receivable, net (carried at cost)

The fair value of fixed-rate and variable rate performing loans is estimated using a discounted cash flow method. The discount rates take into account interest rates currently being offered to customers for loans with similar terms and with estimated maturity and market factors including liquidity. The estimate of maturity is based on the Company’s contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates based on current economic and lending conditions. Due to the significant judgment involved in evaluating credit quality, loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (carried at cost)

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and payable approximates fair value.

Deposits (carried at cost)

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as savings, money market and checking is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows at current rates of interest for similar deposits using market rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Due to the minimal amount of unobservable inputs involved in evaluating assumptions used for discounted cash flows of time deposits, these deposits are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Borrowings (carried at cost)

The fair value of long-term debt was calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows at current market rates of interest for similar borrowings through maturity of each instrument. Due to the minimal amount of unobservable inputs involved in evaluating assumptions used for discounted cash flows of long-term debt, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments (disclosed at cost)

Fair values of the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments) are based on interest rates and fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the commitments and the counterparties’ credit standing. Other than loan commitments, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition.

Note 11 – Subsequent Events

On July 26, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share on the Company’s common stock, payable on August 24, 2017 to shareholders of record as of August 10, 2017. Lake Shore, MHC (the “MHC”), which holds 3,636,875 shares, or approximately 59.6% of the Company’s total outstanding stock, elected to waive its right to receive this cash dividend of approximately $291,000. On March 7, 2017, the MHC received the non-objection of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia to waive its right to receive dividends paid by the Company during the twelve months ending February 8, 2018, aggregating up to $0.32 per share. The MHC waived $291,000 of dividends during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and $582,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Cumulatively, Lake Shore, MHC has waived approximately $8.8 million of cash dividends as of June 30, 2017. The dividends waived by Lake Shore, MHC are considered a restriction on the retained earnings of the Company.

Overview

The following discussion and analysis is presented to assist in the understanding and evaluation of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. It is intended to complement the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction therewith. The detailed discussion focuses on our consolidated financial condition as of June 30, 2017 compared to the consolidated financial condition as of December 31, 2016 and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income we earn on loans and investments and the interest expense we pay on deposits, borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates we earn or pay on these balances.

Our operations are also affected by non-interest income, such as service charges and fees and gains and losses on the sales of securities and loans, our provision for loan losses and non-interest expenses which include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, data processing, professional services, advertising and other general and administrative expenses.

Financial institutions like us, in general, are significantly affected by economic conditions, competition, and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing and commercial real estate, competition among lenders, interest rate conditions, and funds availability. Our operations and lending are principally concentrated in the Western New York area, and our operations and earnings are influenced by local economic conditions. Deposit balances and cost of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates on competing investments, customer preferences, and levels of personal income and savings in our primary market area. Operations are also significantly impacted by government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may materially impact the Company.

To operate successfully, we must manage various types of risk, including but not limited to, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, operational and information technology risks, strategic risk, reputation risk and compliance risk. While all of these risks are important, the risks of greatest significance to us are interest rate risk and credit risk.

Interest rate risk is the exposure of our net interest income to adverse movements in interest rates. Since net interest income (the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings) is our primary source of revenue, interest rate risk is the most significant non-credit related risk to which our Company is exposed. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates as well as fluctuations in the level and duration of our assets and liabilities. In addition to directly impacting net interest

income, changes in interest rates can also affect the amount of new loan originations, the ability of borrowers and debt issuers to repay loans and debt securities, the volume of loan repayments and refinancings, the flow and mix of deposits and the fair value of available for sale securities.

Credit risk is the risk to our earnings and stockholders’ equity that results from customers, to whom loans have been made, and from issuers of debt securities in which the Company has invested, failing to repay their obligations. The magnitude of risk depends on the capacity and willingness of borrowers and debt issuers to repay and the sufficiency of the value of collateral obtained to secure the loans made or investments purchased.

The Company uses the current statutory U.S corporate income tax rate of 34.0% to value its deferred tax assets and liabilities. On April 26, 2017, the Trump Administration announced a comprehensive tax reform proposal that includes a reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate to 15.0%. If corporate tax rates were reduced, management expects the Company would be required to record an initial charge against earnings to lower the carrying amount of its net deferred tax asset, and then, going forward, would record lower tax provisions on an ongoing basis. The proposal is at the beginning stages of negotiations and will need to be addressed by both houses of Congress. It is too early in the process to determine if any of the proposals are actionable. Accordingly, management cannot assess the effect a change in the corporate tax rate would have on the Company’s operating results or financial position at the present time.

Management Strategy

There have been no material changes in the Company’s management strategy from what was disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies

Disclosure of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Some of these policies require significant judgment, estimates and assumptions to be made by management, most particularly in connection with determining the provision for loan losses and the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, as well as management’s evaluation of securities valuation, impairment of securities and income taxes. There have been no material changes in critical accounting policies since December 31, 2016.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the difference between the interest we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as commercial and residential mortgage loans and investment securities, and the expense we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Net interest income depends on both the volume of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates we earn or pay on them.

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields. The following tables set forth certain information relating to our average balance sheets and reflects the average yield on interest-earning assets and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, interest earned and interest paid for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing interest income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods indicated. Average balances are derived from daily balances over the periods indicated. The average balances for loans are net of allowance for loan losses, but include non-accrual loans. Interest income on securities does not include a tax equivalent adjustment for bank qualified municipal bonds.

Rate Volume Analysis. The following tables analyze the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The tables show the amount of the change in interest income or expense caused by either changes in outstanding balances (volume) or changes in interest rates. The effect of a change in volume is measured by applying the average rate during the first period to the volume change between the two periods. The effect of changes in rate is measured by applying the change in rate between the two periods to the average volume during the first period. Changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the absolute value of the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the average yield on interest-earning assets increased 23 basis points to 4.16% primarily due to a $41.7 million, or 13.6%, increase in the average loan portfolio as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio was primarily due to an

increase in the average balance of higher yielding commercial real estate and commercial business loans. In the current extended low interest-rate environment, our cost of funds has remained stable due to a shift in our deposit mix from time deposits to low cost core deposits. The average balance of lower cost core deposits increased $17.0 million, or 9.9%, during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year quarter. In addition the average balance of time deposits decreased by $3.1 million, or 2.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year quarter. The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 3.62% as compared to a net interest margin of 3.41% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The interest rate spread for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 3.47% as compared to an interest rate spread of 3.27% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the average yield on interest-earning assets increased 24 basis points to 4.19% primarily due to a $37.8 million, or 12.4%, increase in the average loan portfolio compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of higher yielding commercial real estate and commercial business loans. The increase was also due to a 10 basis points increase in the average yield earned on loans which was primarily due to the receipt of $202,000 of interest income on one non-performing commercial real estate loan that paid off during the first quarter of 2017. In the current extended low interest-rate environment, our cost of funds has remained stable due to a shift in our deposit mix from time deposits to low cost core deposits. The average balance of lower cost core deposits increased $17.3 million, or 10.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year. In addition the average balance of time deposits decreased by $6.5 million, or 4.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 3.66% as compared to a net interest margin of 3.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The interest rate spread for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 3.51% as compared to an interest rate spread of 3.28% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Bank’s Asset-Liability Committee continues to evaluate the options available to minimize the potential impact of a rising rate environment on its operations, as well as to prepare for the impact of a continued, prolonged, low-interest rate environment. The Committee and Bank management have implemented strategies to shorten the term of interest-earning assets and increase investments in liquid assets to position the Bank to be able to take advantage of rising interest rates in the future. Furthermore, strategies to increase core deposits and the origination of adjustable-rate commercial loans are also in place to manage interest rate risk and the net interest margin.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016

Total assets at June 30, 2017 were $504.9 million, an increase of $15.7 million, or 3.2%, from $489.2 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in total assets was primarily due to a $37.7 million increase in loans receivable partially offset by a $12.5 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $10.5 million decrease in securities available for sale.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $12.5 million, or 27.5%, from $45.5 million at December 31, 2016 to $33.0 million at June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to a $38.3 million cash outflow relating to net loan originations and principal collections during the first six months of 2017, partially offset by a net $10.5 million cash inflow from the receipt of principal paydowns, sales proceeds and maturities in the investment portfolio, an $8.0 million increase in long-term debt, and a $6.8 million increase in deposits.

Securities available for sale decreased by $10.5 million, or 12.2%, to $75.8 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $86.3 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the receipt of $6.8 million in principal paydowns and $5.4 million in proceeds from the sale of investments, partially offset by $1.7 million of new securities purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Company sold securities during the current period for liquidity purposes to originate adjustable rate loans and to be in a better position to take advantage of future increases in market interest rates.

Net loans receivable increased during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as shown in the table below:

Loans receivable, net	$	364,018	$	326,365	$	37,653	11.5	%

The increase in net loans receivable was primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate loans, construction loans, commercial business loans, and home equity loans. As fixed rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans present additional interest rate risk to our loan portfolio as a result of the longer duration of these types of assets, we remain strategically focused in 2017 on originating shorter duration commercial real estate and commercial business loans to diversify our asset mix, to reduce interest rate risk, to take advantage of the opportunities available to serve small businesses in our market area, and to increase our net interest margin.

Total non-performing loans decreased by $1.7 million, or 29.6%, to $4.1 million at June 30, 2017 from $5.9 million at December 31, 2016, primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in non-performing commercial real estate loans. The decrease in non-performing commercial real estate loans was primarily due to the payoff of one commercial real estate loan, with a loan balance of $1.2 million as of December 31, 2016. Management is

actively pursuing all actions necessary to collect the outstanding balance on all non-performing loans, which may include foreclosure on the related properties.

Total deposits	$	392,680	$	385,893	$	6,787	1.8	%

The increase in total deposits was primarily due to net growth in core deposits. The net growth in core deposits was the result of the Company’s continued strategic focus on growing low-cost core deposits among its retail and commercial customers in an effort to manage interest expense.

Our borrowings, consisting of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”), increased by $8.0 million, or 42.2%, to $27.0 million at June 30, 2017 from $19.0 million at December 31, 2016. The additional borrowings were incurred during the second quarter of 2017 to allow the Bank to take advantage of the low fixed-rates in order to fund loan growth.

Total stockholders’ equity increased by $1.4 million, or 1.8%, from $76.0 million at December 31, 2016 to $77.4 million at June 30, 2017. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to net income of $1.9 million partially offset by $373,000 in cash dividends paid.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

General. Net income was $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, or $0.19 per diluted share, an increase of $478,000, or 72.0%, compared to net income of $664,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $380,000 and an increase in non-interest income of $204,000, partially offset by a $125,000 increase in income tax expense.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $427,000, or 9.8%, to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to an increase in loan interest income. Loan interest income increased by $503,000, or 14.0%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio by $41.7 million, or 13.6%, from $306.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to $348.5 million for the three months end June 30, 2017. The increase in the average balance of loans was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of commercial real estate and commercial business loans.

Investment interest income decreased $89,000, or 12.5%, to $621,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of the investment portfolio from $97.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to $82.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in the average balance of the investment portfolio was primarily due to the Company’s strategy to reinvest paydowns and sales proceeds received on the securities portfolio, into loan originations, primarily commercial loans. The purpose of this strategy is to shorten the duration of interest earning assets in order to be in a better position to take advantage of future increases in market interest rates as well as to manage interest rate risk. The average yield on the investment portfolio

increased 11 basis points from 2.91% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to 3.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to paydowns and sales of lower yielding securities.

Other interest income increased by $13,000, or 37.1%, to $48,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a 31 basis points increase in the average yield on the interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold portfolio. The average yield increased from 0.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to 0.68% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase in average yield was primarily due to a 75 basis points increase in the fed funds rate since June 30, 2016. The average balance of the interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold portfolio decreased by $10.0 million, or 26.1%, from $38.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to $28.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to the use of excess cash to fund commercial loan originations.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $47,000, or 8.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $617,000 compared to $570,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Interest paid on deposits increased by $43,000, or 9.4%, to $499,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in deposit expense was primarily due to a $17.0 million increase in average core deposits when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, partially offset by a $3.1 million decrease in average time deposits. Interest expense was also impacted by a 10, 5 and 6 basis points increase in the average interest rates being paid on money market, demand deposit, and time deposit accounts, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the same period in the prior year. The average balance of deposits for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $337.3 million with an average rate of 0.59% compared to the average balance of deposits of $323.4 million and an average rate of 0.56% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The growth in the average balance of deposits was primarily due to an increase in low-cost core deposits. The interest expense related to advances from the FHLBNY increased $6,000, or 6.6%, to $97,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily as a result of an increase in the average rate of FHLBNY advances. The average balance of advances from the FHLBNY for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $19.4 million with an average rate of 2.00% compared to an average balance of $19.0 million and an average rate of 1.92% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses. A provision of $25,000 to the allowance for loan losses was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2017, which was a $30,000 decrease as compared to the provision recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to less reserves being set aside for impaired commercial real estate loans.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded an $80,000 net credit provision for commercial real estate loans. $140,000 of this credit provision was attributed to a net decrease in reserves being set aside for impaired loans. This was primarily due to an increase in the estimated value of the collateral for one impaired commercial real estate loan, as a result of an increase in the occupancy rate. This credit provision was partially offset by a $60,000 provision to record probable inherent losses on commercial real estate loans originated during the quarter. The commercial real estate loan portfolio increased by $5.3 million, or 4.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

The Company recorded an $110,000 general allowance during the three months ended June 30, 2017 on performing construction loans primarily due to a $9.9 million, or 55.2%, increase in the construction loan portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2017, to reflect inherent losses within the portfolio. The Company recorded a credit provision of $50,000 for commercial business loans primarily related to changes in the environmental factors used to qualitatively assess inherent loan losses.

A $28,000 provision was recorded by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2017 for one-to four-family, home equity and consumer loans primarily to reflect an increase in classified loans during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

The Company recorded an unallocated provision for loan losses of $17,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017, to reflect the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general losses in the portfolio.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a $105,000 provision for construction and commercial business loans primarily due to an increase in loan originations during the three months ended June 30, 2016, to reflect the inherent losses expected on these loan types. The Company recorded a $125,000 credit provision on commercial real estate loans primarily due to a decrease in classified loan balances, which was partially offset by a $95,000 provision for loan losses to reflect probable inherent losses on commercial real estate loans originated during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The Company recorded a $21,000 provision on home equity and consumer loans primarily due to an increase in net charge-offs during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The Company recorded a $42,000 credit provision on one-to four-family loans primarily due to a decrease in classified loan balances. The Company recorded a $1,000 unallocated provision to reflect the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general losses in the portfolio.

Refer to Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details on the provision for loan losses.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased $204,000, or 33.8%, to $807,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $603,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to a $197,000 pre-tax realized gain on the sale of securities during the three months ended June 30, 2017, while there were no sales of securities during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was also due to an increase in service charges and fees and earnings on bank owned life insurance. Service charges and fees increased by $34,000, or 7.9%, during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same three months in 2016 due to increased growth in core deposits and new product offerings. Earnings on bank owned life insurance increased $20,000, or 28.6%, due to the purchase of an additional $2.5 million in insurance during the fourth quarter of 2017. These increases were partially offset by a $44,000, or 95.7%, decrease in gains on the sale of loans during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of a fourth quarter 2016 strategic decision to retain, rather than sell, all residential loans that we originate due to the stabilization of the Bank’s interest rate risk levels.

Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses increased $11,000, or 0.3%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. Data processing increased by $49,000, or 18.8%, due to implementation of new technology and growth in deposit and loan accounts. Salaries and employee benefits increased $27,000, or 1.5%, primarily due to annual salary increases and grants of stock awards, partially offset by lower health insurance costs and retirement benefit expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $44,000, or 23.3%, decrease in advertising expenses due to the development of a new marketing campaign related to the Company’s 125th anniversary celebration during the three months ended June 2016. Decreases in professional service fees, occupancy and equipment expenses and FDIC insurance expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2017 were partially offset by increases in postages and supplies when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Income Taxes Expense. Income tax expense increased by $125,000, or 73.5%, from $170,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to $295,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 20.5% while the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was 20.4%.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

General. Net income was $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, or $0.30 per diluted share, a decrease of $760,000, or 29.0%, compared to net income of $2.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in net income was primarily impacted by a $1.6 million pre-tax realized gain on the sale of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to a $222,000 pre-tax realized gain on the sale of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2017. 2017 year to date net

income was also impacted by a $190,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and a $186,000 increase in non-interest expense which was partially offset by a $771,000 increase in net interest income and a $221,000 decrease in income tax expense when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $821,000, or 9.4%, to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to an increase in loan interest income. Loan interest income increased by $1.1 million, or 14.8%, to $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in the average balance of loans by $37.8 million, or 12.4%, from $304.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $341.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in the average balance of loans was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of commercial real estate and commercial business loans. The increase in loan interest income was also due to the receipt of $202,000 of interest income on one non-performing commercial real estate loan which paid off during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The payoff of the non-performing commercial loan caused the average yield on the loan portfolio to increase from 4.68% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to 4.78% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The average yield on the loan portfolio would be 4.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 if the $202,000 of interest income received on the non-performing loan payoff was excluded.

Investment interest income decreased $265,000, or 17.2%, to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of the investment portfolio from $104.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $84.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in the average balance of the investment portfolio was primarily due to the Company’s strategy to reinvest sale proceeds and paydowns received on the securities portfolio into loan originations, primarily commercial loans. The purpose of this strategy is to shorten the duration of interest earning assets in order to be in a better position to take advantage of future increases in market interest rates as well as to manage interest rate risk. The average yield on the investment portfolio increased eight basis points from 2.95% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to 3.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to paydowns and sales of lower yielding securities.

Other interest income increased by $35,000, or 68.6%, to $86,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a 28 basis points increase in the average yield on the interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold portfolio. The average yield increased from 0.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to 0.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in average yield was primarily due to a 75 basis points increase in the fed funds rate since June 30, 2016. The average balance of the interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold portfolio decreased by $3.8 million, or 11.6%, from $32.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $29.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to the use of excess cash to fund commercial loan originations.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $50,000, or 4.3%, to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. Interest paid on deposits increased by $52,000, or 5.6%, to $976,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in deposit expense was primarily due to a $17.3 million increase in average core deposits when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, partially offset by a $6.5 million decrease in average time deposits. Interest expense was also impacted by a 9, 5 and 4 basis points increase in the average interest rates being paid on money market, demand deposit, and time deposit accounts, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the same period in the prior year. The average balance of deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $334.9 million with an average rate of 0.58% compared to the average balance of deposits of $324.1 million and an average rate of 0.57% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The growth in the average balance of deposits was primarily due to an increase in low-cost core deposits. The interest expense related to advances from the FHLBNY increased $2,000, or 1.1%, to $189,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The average balance of advances from the FHLBNY for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $19.2 million with an average rate of 1.97% compared to an average balance of $19.6 million and an average rate of 1.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses. A provision of $375,000 to the allowance for loan losses was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2017, which was a $190,000, or 102.7%, increase as compared to the provision recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in provision expense was primarily related to growth in construction and commercial loans.

The Company recorded a $153,000 general allowance during the six months ended June 30, 2017 on performing construction loans, primarily due to a $15.6 million, or 126.2%, increase in the construction loan portfolio since December 31, 2016, to reflect inherent losses within the portfolio.

During the six months end June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a net $85,000 provision for commercial real estate loans. A $215,000 provision was recorded to appropriately reflect risk associated with growth in commercial real estate loan originations. The commercial real estate loan portfolio increased by $15.7 million, or 14.7%, since December 31, 2016. In addition, an $186,000 provision was recorded due to the downgrade of two performing commercial loan relationships from a special mention to substandard classification. These two loan relationships totaled $1.2 million as of June 30, 2017 with a loan to value ratio of 49.3% and 63.3%, respectively,. The provision was partially offset by a $176,000 credit related to changes in the related environmental factors used to qualitatively assess inherent loan losses on commercial real estate loans. The provision was also partially offset by a $140,000 net decrease in reserves being set aside for impaired loans. The decrease in impaired reserves was primarily due to an increase in the estimated value of the collateral for one impaired commercial real estate loan, as a result of an increase in the occupancy rate.

An $80,000 provision was recorded by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2017 for one-to four-family, home equity, commercial business and consumer loans to reflect an increase in the historical average net charge-offs for these loans types over the last five years and due to net charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The Company recorded an unallocated provision for loan losses of $57,000, to reflect the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general losses in the portfolio.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a $177,000 provision for construction and commercial business loans, primarily due to an increase in loan originations during the six months ended June 30, 2016, to reflect the probable inherent losses on these loan types and due to a $32,000 increase in net charge-offs for these loan types during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company recorded a $162,000 provision for one- to four-family, home equity and consumer loans due to a review of the historical losses relating to these types of loans. The Company set aside $76,000 of provision to reflect an increase in historical average net charge-offs for these loan types over the last five years. A provision of $86,000 was also set aside for these loan types due to changes in the related environmental factors used to qualitatively assess inherent losses in the loan portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in classified loans for these loan types during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company recorded a $139,000 net credit provision on commercial real estate loans. Specifically, the Company recorded a $305,000 credit provision to reflect a decrease in the historical average net charge-offs for these loan types over the last five years and due to a decrease in classified commercial real estate loans. The credit provision for commercial real estate loans was partially offset by a $166,000 provision for loan losses to reflect probable inherent losses on commercial real estate loans originated during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company recorded an unallocated credit to the provision for loan losses of $15,000, to reflect the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general losses in the portfolio.

Refer to Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on the provision for loan losses.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $1.4 million, or 48.9%, to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.6 million pre-tax realized gain on the sale of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to a $222,000 pre-tax realized gain on the sale of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was also due to a $52,000, or 85.2%, decrease in gains on the sale of loans during the six

months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of a fourth quarter 2016 strategic decision to retain, rather than sell, all residential loans that we originate due to the stabilization of the Bank’s interest rate risk levels. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in service charges and fees and earnings on bank owned life insurance. Service charges and fees increased by $47,000, or 5.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same six months in 2016 due to increased growth in core deposits and new product offerings. Earnings on bank owned life insurance increased $40,000, or 29.2%, due to the purchase of an additional $2.5 million in insurance during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expense increased by $186,000, or 2.7%, from $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $127,000, or 3.5%, primarily due to annual salary increases and grants of stock awards, partially offset by lower health insurance costs and supplemental retirement benefit plan expenses. Data processing expense increased by $91,000, or 17.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, due to implementation of new technology and growth in deposit and loan accounts. Decreases in professional service fees and FDIC insurance expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were partially offset by increases in postages and supply expense, occupancy and equipment expenses, other expenses and advertising costs when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased by $221,000, or 32.9%, from $671,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $450,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year period. The effective tax rate was 19.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to an effective tax rate of 20.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in the 2017 effective tax rate was primarily due to the projected mix of tax-exempt income derived from our municipal bond portfolio and bank-owned life insurance in relation to our projection of pre-tax income for the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise during the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to fund loan commitments, to pay the deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers as well as to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposits, fed funds balances, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loans and securities, maturities and sales of investments and loans, interest earning deposits at other financial institutions and funds provided from operations. We have written agreements with the FHLBNY, which allows us to borrow the maximum lending values designated by the type of collateral pledged. As of June 30, 2017, the maximum amount that we can borrow from the FHLBNY was $106.7 million and was collateralized by a pledge of certain fixed-rate residential, one- to four-family loans. At June 30, 2017, we had outstanding advances under this agreement of $27.0 million. We have a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank discount window for overnight borrowings which is collateralized by a pledge of our securities, and allows us to borrow up to the value of the securities pledged, which was equal to a book value of $11.1 million and a fair value of $11.6 million as of June 30, 2017. There were no balances outstanding with the Federal Reserve Bank at June 30, 2017. We have also established lines of credits with correspondent banks for $22.0 million, of which $20.0 million is unsecured and the remaining $2.0 million will be secured by a pledge of our securities when a draw is made. There were no borrowings on these lines as of June 30, 2017.

Historically, loan repayments and maturing investment securities were a relatively predictable source of funds. However, in light of the current economic environment, there are now more risks related to loan repayments and the valuation and maturity of investment securities. In addition, deposit flows, calls of investment securities, and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities are strongly influenced by interest rates, general and local economic conditions, and competition in the marketplace. These factors and the current economic environment reduce the predictability of the timing of these sources of funds. To the extent possible, the Bank manages the cash flows of its loan and deposit portfolios by the rates it offers customers.

Our primary investing activities include the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we originated loans of approximately $73.8 million as compared to

approximately $46.3 million of loans originated during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Loan originations exceeded principal repayments and other deductions during the first six months of 2017 by $38.3 million. The loan originations were funded through principal payments received on loans and securities, proceeds from the sale of securities, customer deposits, borrowings and cash reserves. Purchases of investment securities totaled $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. We did not purchase any investment securities during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

At June 30, 2017, we had loan commitments to borrowers of approximately $15.5 million and overdraft lines of protection, unused home equity lines of credit and unused commercial lines of credit of approximately $35.5 million. Total deposits were $392.7 million at June 30, 2017, as compared to $385.9 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in total deposits was primarily due to net growth in low-cost core deposits during the first six months of 2017. The Company’s strategic focus is on growing low-cost core deposits among its retail and commercial customers in an effort to manage interest expenses. Time deposit accounts scheduled to mature within one year were $58.4 million at June 30, 2017. Based on our deposit retention experience, current pricing strategy, and competitive pricing policies, we anticipate that a significant portion of these time deposits will remain with us following their maturity.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position; therefore, we monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. The marginal cost of new funding, however, whether from deposits or borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, will be carefully considered as we monitor our liquidity needs. Therefore, in order to minimize our cost of funds, we may consider additional borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank in the future.

We do not anticipate any material capital expenditures in 2017, other than the $500,000 capital project noted in the “Capital Expenditures” section below. We do not have any balloon or other payments due on any long-term obligations or any off-balance sheet items other than loan commitments as described in Note 6 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements and the borrowing agreements noted above.

Capital Expenditures

Significant planned expenditures for 2017 include plans to purchase the Orchard Park branch building from the landlord and build an addition to the Orchard Park branch office for the Commercial Lending division, which will include office space for commercial loan officers and administrative staff. The Company believes it has a sufficient capital base to support this capital project. The purchase of the building is completed and the construction project is currently underway. The expected cost is approximately $1.3 million, with an estimated $500,000 in costs remaining to complete the construction project.

Capital

As of January 1, 2015, new regulations that substantially amended the bank capital requirements became applicable to us. These regulations implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act, as discussed in the “Supervision and Regulation – Federal Banking Regulation – Capital Requirements” section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

As of June 30, 2017, as shown in the table below, the Bank’s Tier 1 and risk-based capital levels exceeded levels necessary to be considered “Well Capitalized” under Prompt Corrective Action provisions, as determined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”), our primary regulator.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios and those required by the regulatory standards in effect as of the dates presented are as follows:


At June 30, 2017	Actual Ratio		Minimum For Capital Adequacy Purposes			To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital (to risk-weighted assets)	20.73	%	>=	4.50	%	>=	6.50	%
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)	20.73	%	>=	6.00	%	>=	8.00	%
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)	21.66	%	>=	8.00	%	>=	10.00	%
Tier 1 Leverage (to adjusted total assets)	14.63	%	>=	4.00	%	>=	5.00	%
At December 31, 2016	Actual Ratio		Minimum For Capital Adequacy Purposes			To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
CET 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)	22.23	%	>=	4.50	%	>=	6.50	%
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)	22.23	%	>=	6.00	%	>=	8.00	%
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)	23.15	%	>=	8.00	%	>=	10.00	%
Tier 1 Leverage (to adjusted total assets)	14.73	%	>=	4.00	%	>=	5.00	%

In order to avoid limitations on distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, an institution must hold a capital conservation buffer above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. As of June 30, 2017, the Bank's capital conservation buffer was 13.66% exceeding the minimum of 1.25% for 2017.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than loan commitments, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors. Refer to Note 6 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of loan commitments outstanding as of June 30, 2017.
