FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We may, from time to time, make written or oral “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), our reports to shareholders and in other communications by us. This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q contains “forward-looking statements” which may be identified by the use of such words as “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “may,”  “will,” “intend,” “planned,” “estimated,” “potential” or similar expressions.  Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, estimates with respect to our financial condition, results of operation and business that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates.  These factors include, but are not limited to:

·

effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic on the economy generally and on us in particular;

·

the expected growth opportunities or cost savings from the merger (the "Merger") with Provident Financial Services, Inc. ("Provident") may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected;

·

our business and Provident's business may not be combined successfully, or such combination may take longer, be more difficult, time-consuming or costly to accomplish than expected;

·

deposit attrition, operating costs, customer losses and business disruption following the Merger, including adverse effects on relationships with employees and customers, may be greater than expected;

·

the regulatory approvals required for the Merger may not be obtained on the proposed terms or on the anticipated schedule;

·

our shareholders may fail to approve the Merger;

·

changes in the interest rate environment that reduce margins;

·

changes in the regulatory environment;

·

the highly competitive industry and market area in which we operate;

·

general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality;

·

changes in business conditions and inflation;

·

changes in credit market conditions;

·

changes in the securities markets which affect investment management revenues;

·

increases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) deposit insurance premiums and assessments, which could adversely affect our financial condition;

·

changes in technology used in the banking business;

·

the soundness of other financial services institutions, which may adversely affect our credit risk;

·

our controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented;

·

new lines of business or new products and services, which may subject us to additional risks;

·

changes in key management personnel which may adversely impact our operations;

·

the effect on our operations of recent legislative and regulatory initiatives that were or may be enacted in response to the recent financial crisis;

i

·

severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other external events which could significantly impact our business;

·

the inability to realize expected cost savings or to implement integration plans and other adverse consequences associated with the acquisition of Community Bank of Bergen County (“Community”);

·

the inability to realize expected cost savings or to implement integration plans and other adverse consequences associated with the acquisition of Enterprise Bank, NJ (“Enterprise”); and

·

other factors detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.  We do not undertake any obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SB One Bancorp, (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) and our wholly owned subsidiary SB One Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries are SCB Investment Company, Inc., SCBNY Company, Inc., ClassicLake Enterprises, LLC, GFR Maywood, LLC, PPD Holding Company, LLC, Community Investing Company, Inc., 490 Boulevard Realty Corp., and SB One Insurance Agency Inc. ("SB One Insurance Agency"), a full service insurance agency located in Sussex County, New Jersey with a satellite office located in Bergen County, New Jersey. SB One Insurance Agency’s operations are considered a separate segment for financial disclosure purposes. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Bank operates nineteen banking offices: eight located in Sussex County, New Jersey, four located in Bergen County, New Jersey, two located in Essex County, New Jersey, one located in Hudson County, New Jersey, one located in Middlesex County, New Jersey, one located in Union County, New Jersey, one located in Warren County, New Jersey, and one located in Queens County, New York.

We are subject to the supervision and regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”). The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to applicable limits. The operations of the Company and the Bank are subject to the supervision and regulation of the FRB, the FDIC and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the “Department”) and the operations of SB One Insurance Agency are subject to supervision and regulation by the Department.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for full year financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Announcement of Merger Agreement

On March 12, 2020, the Company announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with Provident Financial Services, Inc. (“Provident”) where Provident will acquire the Company in an all-stock transaction (the “Merger”). Each outstanding share of Company common stock will be exchanged for 1.357 shares of Provident common stock.  The Merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2020, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and approval by the shareholders of the Company.

 

New Accounting Standards

In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all public business entities upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification

5

 

Improvements to Topic 842, Leases which was issued to clarify and correct untended application of the guidance in ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU affect aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02 and provide clarification to related topics, such as 1) Rate implicit in the lease; 2) Reassessment of leases; 3) Transition guidance; and 4) Impairment of net investment in the lease. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides guidance related to comparative reporting requirements for initial adoption and separating lease and non-lease components. Currently, entities are required to adopt the new standard utilizing the modified retrospective approach. This amendment provides entities with an additional transition method which allows entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Currently, ASU 2016-02 provides a practical expedient to lessees to allow them to not separate non-lease components from lease components; however, it does not provide a similar practical expedient to lessors. This amendment provides a practical expedient to lessors which allows them the option to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components. However, the lessor practical expedient is limited to circumstances in which the non-lease components would otherwise be account for under the new revenue guidance (Topic 606). In addition, both of the following conditions must be met: the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for non-lease components and associated lease components 2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. An entity that elects the lessor practical expedient is also required to provide certain disclosures. For entities that early adopted Topic 842 the amendments in these ASUs are effective upon issuance. The Company adopted both ASU No. 2016-02 and ASU No. 2018-11 effective January 1, 2019 and elected to apply the guidance as of the beginning of the period of adoption (January 1, 2019) and not restate comparative periods. The Company also elected certain optional practical expedients, which allow the Company to forego a reassessment of (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) the initial direct costs for any existing leases. Additionally, the Company elected to adopt the practical expedient use of hindsight to determine right of use asset and lease liability for each lease with a renewal option through their first option date. Adoption of the standard did not result in material changes to the Company's consolidated results of operations. The Company's adoption of the ASU resulted in a right of use asset and lease liability of approximately $2.7 million at January 1, 2019. The impact of the adoption on the Company's operating results was not significant.

In March 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, which amends certain aspects of FASB's leasing standard, ASU 2016-02.1 ASU 2019-01 is the result of a proposed ASU issued in December 2018. The ASU addresses the following issues:

·

Determining the fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers.

·

Statement of cash flows presentation for sales-type and direct financing leases by lessors within the scope of ASC 942.3

·

Clarification of interim disclosure requirements during transition.

 

ASU 2019-01 will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2019. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for- sale (AFS) debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. In April 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. ASU 2019-04 made amendments to the following categories in ASU 2016-13 which include Accrued interest, transfers between classifications or categories for loans and debt securities, recoveries, reinsurance recoverables, projections of interest rate environments for variable-rate financial instruments, costs to sell when foreclosure is probable, consideration of expected prepayments when determining the effective interest rate, vintage disclosures and extension and renewal options. In May 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326); Targeted Transition Relief, ASU 2019-05 allows the Company to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (1) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (2) are within the scope of Topic 326 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option

under authoritative guidance for fair value. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. We are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. This ASU will be effective for public business entities that are SEC filers and considered smaller reporting companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the guidance will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected not to adopt ASU 2016-13 early. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has determined that a third-party vendor will assist with model development, data governance and operational controls to support the adoption of this ASU. Model implementation, including development and validation, began in the second quarter of 2019, as did the establishment of the control activities required to support the models.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017‑04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350). The main objective of this ASU is to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment by requiring impairment charges be based upon the first step in the current two-step impairment test under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350. Currently, if the fair value of a reporting unit is lower than its carrying amount (Step 1), an entity calculates any impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount (Step 2). This ASU’s objective is to simplify how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The standard will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017‑08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (Subtopic 310‑20). The update shortens the amortization period for premiums on purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The amendment will apply only to callable debt securities with explicit, noncontingent call features that are callable at fixed prices and on preset dates, apply to all premiums on callable debt securities, regardless of how they were generated, and require companies to reset the effective yield using the payment terms of the debt security if the call option is not exercised on the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The discount continues to be amortized to maturity and does not apply when the investor has already incorporated prepayments into the calculation of its effective yield under other GAAP. The amendments in the ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company’s adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017‑12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The objective of the ASU is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and to make improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The amendments in the ASU will, among other things, 1) permit hedge accounting for risk components in hedging relationships involving nonfinancial risk and interest rate risks; 2) change the guidance for designating fair value hedges of interest rate risk and for measuring the change in fair value of the hedged item in fair value hedges of interest rate risk; 3) modify disclosures to include a tabular disclosure related to the effect on the income statement of fair value and cash flow hedges; and 4) eliminate the requirement to disclose the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of hedging instruments. These changes will more closely align the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with risk management activities and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. ASU 2017‑12 will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the update with all transition requirements and elections being applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption. The Company’s adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018‑13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The updates in this ASU are part of the disclosure framework project and modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The modifications include removal, modification, and removal of disclosure requirements. The ASU removed the following disclosure requirements: a) The amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, b) The policy for timing of transfers between levels, c) The valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements, c) For nonpublic entities, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in earnings for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period. The ASU added the following disclosure requirements: a) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; b) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also modified the following disclosure requirements: a) In lieu of a rollforward for Level 3 fair value measurements, a nonpublic entity is required to disclose transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and purchases and issues of Level 3 assets and liabilities; b) For investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly; c) Clarifies that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. ASU 2018‑13 will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018‑14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715‑20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The updates in this ASU are part of the disclosure framework project ASU 2018‑14 and modify the disclosure requirements under ASC 715‑201 for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Those modifications include the removal, addition, and of disclosure requirements as well as clarifying specific disclosure requirements. The ASU removed the following disclosures: a) the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year;  b) the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer;  c) the disclosures related to the June 2001 amendments to the Japanese Welfare Pension Insurance Law;  d) related party disclosures about the amount of future annual benefits covered by insurance and annuity contracts and significant transactions between the employer or related parties and the plan; and  e) for nonpublic entities, the reconciliation of the opening balances to the closing balances of plan assets measured on a recurring basis in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. However, nonpublic entities will be required to disclose separately the amounts of transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and purchases of Level 3 plan assets. For public entities, the effects of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the (a) aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and (b) benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. The ASU added the following disclosures: a) The weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates; and an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. The ASU then clarified the following disclosures: a) the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with PBOs more than plan assets; and  b) the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with ABOs more than plan assets. ASU 2018‑14 will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption on its consolidated financial statements and does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑16: “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes”. The amendment permits the use of the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. ASU 2018‑16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Early adoption is permitted in any interim

period upon issuance of this ASU if an entity already has adopted ASU 2017‑12. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. The Company’s adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

For each security whose fair value is less than its amortized cost basis, a review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.  As of March 31, 2020, we reviewed our available for sale securities portfolio for indications of impairment. This review included analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value was

lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and likelihood of selling the security.  The intent and likelihood of sale of debt and equity securities are evaluated based upon our investment strategy for the particular type of security and our cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position.

U.S. Government Agencies

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the declines in fair value and the unrealized losses for our U.S. government agencies securities were primarily due to changes in spreads and market conditions and not credit quality.  At March 31, 2020, there were seven securities with a fair value of $8.1 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $135 thousand.  As of March 31, 2020, we did not intend to sell and it was not more-likely-than-not that we would be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.  Therefore, none of the U.S. government agencies securities at March 31, 2020 were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”).

At December 31, 2019, there were six securities with a fair value of $6.0 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $84 thousand.

U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the change in fair value and unrealized losses for our U.S. government sponsored enterprises securities were primarily due to changes in spreads and market conditions and not credit quality.  At March 31, 2020, there were 25 securities with a fair value of $48.6 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $2.9 million. As of March 31, 2020, we did not intend to sell and it was not more-likely-than-not that we would be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.  Therefore, none of the U.S. government sponsored enterprise securities at March 31, 2020, were deemed to be OTTI.

At December 31, 2019, there were 26 securities with a fair value of $53.2 million that had an unrealized loss of $1.1 million in the aggregate.

State and Political Subdivisions

At March 31, 2020, there were no state and political subdivisions securities that had an unrealized loss.

At December 31, 2019, there were fourteen securities with a fair value of $17.4 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $225 thousand.

Mortgage-Backed Securities - U.S. government-sponsored enterprises

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the change in fair value and unrealized losses for our mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises were primarily due to changes in spreads and market conditions and not credit quality.  At March 31, 2020 there were 15 securities with a fair value of $23.6 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $377 thousand.  As of March 31, 2020, we did not intend to sell and it was not more-likely-than-not that we would be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.  Therefore, none of our mortgage-backed securities at March 31, 2020 were deemed to be OTTI.

At December 31, 2019, there were 13 securities with a fair value of $22.2 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $178 thousand.

Mortgage-Backed Securities – Private mortgage-backed securities

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the change in fair value and the unrealized losses for our private mortgage-backed securities were primarily due to changes in spreads and mark conditions and not credit quality.  At March 31, 2020, there were five securities with a fair value of $12.1 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $357 thousand. 

11

 

As of March 31, 2020, we did not intend to sell and it was not more-likely-than-not that we would be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.  Therefore, none of our mortgage-backed securities at March 31, 2020, were deemed to be other-then-temporarily impaired.

At December 31, 2019, there were three securities with a fair value of $7.0 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $33 thousand.

Corporate Debt

At March 31, 2020, there were four securities with a fair value of $8.1 million that had an unrealized loss of $432 thousand.  These securities typically have maturity dates greater than 5 years and the fair values are more sensitive to changes in market interest rates.  As of March 31, 2020, we did not intend to sell and it was not more-likely-than-not that we would be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.  Therefore, none of our corporate debt securities at March 31, 2020, were deemed to be OTTI.

At December 31, 2019, there was one security with a fair value of $2.1 million that had an unrealized loss of $7 thousand.

Temporarily Impaired Securities

For each security whose fair value is less than its amortized cost basis, a review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. As of March 31, 2020, there were no securities that had an unrealized loss. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and likelihood of selling the security.  The intent and likelihood of sale of debt securities is evaluated based upon our investment strategy for the particular type of security and our cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. For each security whose fair value is less than their amortized cost basis, a review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

The carrying value of loans acquired in the Community acquisition and accounted for in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310‑30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality,” was $2.5 million at March 31, 2020, which was $1.1 million less than the balance at the time of acquisition on January 4, 2018. Under ASC Subtopic 310‑30, these loans, referred to as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans, may be aggregated and accounted for as pools of loans if the loans being aggregated have common risk characteristics. The Company elected to account for the loans with evidence of credit deterioration individually rather than aggregate them into pools. The difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition and the investment in the acquired loans, or the “accretable yield,” is recognized as interest income utilizing the level-yield method over the life of each loan. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the “non-accretable difference,” are not recognized as a yield adjustment, as a loss accrual or as a valuation allowance.

Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the yield on the loans over the remaining life, while decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments through a loss provision and an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses. Valuation allowances (recognized in the allowance for loan and lease losses) on these impaired loans reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (representing all cash flows that were expected at acquisition but currently are not expected to be received).

The following table presents changes in the accretable yield for PCI loans:

In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, we estimate losses based on the identification of specific problem loans through our credit review process and also estimate losses inherent in other loans on an aggregate basis by loan type.  The credit review process includes the independent evaluation of the loan officer assigned risk ratings by the Chief Credit Officer and a third party loan review company.  Such risk ratings are assigned loss component factors that reflect our loss estimate for each group of loans.  It is management’s and the Board of Directors’ responsibility to oversee the lending process to ensure that all credit risks are properly identified, monitored, and controlled, and that loan pricing, terms and other safeguards against non-performance and default are commensurate with the level of risk undertaken and is rated as such based on a risk-rating system.  Factors considered in assigning risk ratings and loss component factors include: borrower specific information related to expected future cash flows and operating results, collateral values, financial condition and payment status; levels of and trends in portfolio charge-offs and recoveries; levels in portfolio delinquencies; effects of changes in loan concentrations and observed trends in the economy and other qualitative measurements.

Our risk-rating system is consistent with the classification system used by regulatory agencies and with industry practices. Loan classifications of Substandard, Doubtful or Loss are consistent with the regulatory definitions of classified assets.  The classification system is as follows:

·

Pass: This category represents loans performing to contractual terms and conditions and the primary source of repayment is adequate to meet the obligation.  We have five categories within the Pass classification depending on strength of repayment sources, collateral values and financial condition of the borrower.

·

Special Mention:  This category represents loans performing to contractual terms and conditions; however the primary source of repayment or the borrower is exhibiting some deterioration or weaknesses in financial condition that could potentially threaten the borrowers’ future ability to repay our loan principal and interest or fees due.

·

Substandard: This category represents loans that the primary source of repayment has significantly deteriorated or weakened which has or could threaten the borrowers’ ability to make scheduled payments.  The weaknesses require close supervision by management and there is a distinct possibility that we could sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Such weaknesses could jeopardize the timely and ultimate collection of our loan principal and interest or fees due.  Loss may not be expected or evident, however, loan repayment is inadequately supported by current financial information or pledged collateral.

·

Doubtful: Loans so classified have all the inherent weaknesses of a substandard loan with the added provision that collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable and not reasonably assured.  The probability of at least partial loss is high, but extraneous factors might strengthen the asset to prevent loss. The validity of the extraneous factors must be continuously monitored. Once these factors are questionable the loan should be considered for full or partial charge-off.

·

Loss: Loans so classified are considered uncollectible, and of such little value that their continuance as active assets is not warranted.  Such loans are fully charged off.

We recognize interest income on performing impaired loans as payments are received.  On non-performing impaired loans we do not recognize interest income as all payments are recorded as a reduction of principal on such loans.

Impaired loans include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.  These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, postponement or forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.  The concessions rarely result in the forgiveness of principal or accrued interest.  In addition, we attempt to obtain additional collateral or guarantor support when modifying such loans.  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 table presents the recorded investment in troubled debt restructured loans, based on payment performance status:

NOTE 5 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares (unvested restricted stock grants and stock options) had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance of potential common shares that may be issued by us. Potential common shares related to stock options are determined using the treasury stock method.

NOTE 6 – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income.  Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

NOTE 7 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

The Company had goodwill of $27.3 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The mergers with Community Bank, with total goodwill amounting to $22.3 million, and Enterprise, with total goodwill amounting to $2.2 million. Goodwill at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, included $2.3 million related to insurance segment and $486 thousand related to banking segment. The Company reviews its goodwill and intangible assets annually, or more frequently if conditions warrant, for impairment. The Company prepared a Step 1 goodwill impairment analysis at March 31, 2020, due to ongoing economic uncertainty. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company compared the estimated fair value of its reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its book value, therefore, no write-down of goodwill was required at March 31, 2020.

 

The Company recorded a core deposit intangible of $1.3 million for the Community acquisition and $1.0 million for the Enterprise acquisition. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company amortized $91 thousand and $102 thousand in core deposit intangible. The estimated future amortization expense for each of the succeeding five years ended December 31 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 9 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We currently have stock-based compensation plans in place for our directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors.  Under the terms of these plans we may grant restricted shares and stock options for the purchase of our common stock.  The stock-based compensation is granted under terms determined by our Compensation Committee.  Our standard stock option grants have a maximum term of 10 years, generally vest over periods ranging between one and five years, and are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.  Restricted stock is valued at the market value of the common stock on the date of grant and generally vests over periods of three to five years. All dividends paid on restricted stock, whether vested or unvested, are paid to the shareholder.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we expensed $4 thousand and $12 thousand, respectively, in stock-based compensation under stock option awards.

There were no options granted during the three and three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Expected future expense relating to the unvested options outstanding as of March 31, 2020 is $12 thousand over a weighted average period of 0.7 years. Upon exercise of vested options, management expects to draw on common stock as the source of the shares.

At March 31, 2020, unrecognized compensation expense for unvested restricted stock was $2.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over an average period of 3.9 years.

 

NOTE 10 – GUARANTEES

We do not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than standby letters of credit.  Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  Generally, we hold collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments.  As of March 31, 2020, we had $2.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.  Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees.  The amount of the liability as of March 31, 2020, for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

 

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of our 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 we could have realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated.  The fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period ends, and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates.  As such, the fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period end.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use a hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value.  The three broad levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:

·

Level I - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

·

Level II - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these asset and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

22

 

·

Level III - Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of reported date.  These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

The following table summarizes the fair value of our financial instruments measured on a recurring basis by the above pricing observability levels as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated selling expenses. The range and weighted average of selling expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percentage of the appraisal.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of our assets and liabilities.  Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between our disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Securities: The fair value of securities, available for sale (carried at fair value) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level I), or matrix pricing (Level II), 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.  For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level III).  In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate of market participants’ estimate is used.  Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level III measurements.  Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) were used to support fair values of certain Level III investments.

24

 

Impaired Loans (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value): Fair value of impaired loans is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds, less estimated selling costs.  These assets are included in Level III fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Derivatives (Carried at Fair Value): The fair value of the Company’s derivatives is determined using discounted cash flow analysis using observable market-based inputs, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

Other Real Estate Owned (Carried at Fair Value):

Other Real Estate Owned is recorded at estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs when acquired, thus establishing a new cost basis. Fair value is generally based on independent appraisals. These appraisals include adjustments to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience. When an asset is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over fair value, less estimated selling costs, a writedown is recorded through expense.

The fair values of our financial instruments at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, were as follows:

NOTE 12 – DERIVATIVES

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are 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. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

The Company has agreements with certain of its dealer counterparties that contain a provision allowing the counterparty to terminate the derivative positions if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well or adequately capitalized institution.  Upon any such termination, the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had two dealer counterparties and had a net liability position with respect to each counterparty. The termination value for these net liability positions, which includes accrued interest, was $17.1 million at March 31, 2020. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with its derivative counterparties and has posted collateral of $17.2 million against its obligations under these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2020, it would have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not record any hedge ineffectiveness.

The Company has master netting arrangements with its counterparty.  All master netting arrangements include rights to offset associated with the Company’s recognized derivative assets, derivative liabilities, and cash collateral received and pledged.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments made on the Company’s variable rate borrowing positions. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had $27 thousand of reclassifications to interest income. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company had $54 thousand of reclassifications to interest expense.

As required under the master netting arrangement with its derivatives counterparty, the Company pledged $6.1 million of financial collateral at March 31, 2020, and received financial collateral in the amount of $2.8 million at March 31, 2019.

NOTE 13 – BORROWINGS

At March 31, 2020, the Bank had secured borrowing potential with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) for borrowings of up to $320.8 million and a $10.0 million line of credit at Atlantic Central Bankers Bank (“ACBB”).  The borrowings at the FHLBNY are secured by a pledge of qualifying residential and commercial mortgage loans, having an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $320.8 million.  At March 31, 2020, the Bank had the ability to borrow up to $110.1 million at FHLBNY and $10.0 million at ACBB.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $196.1 million and $193.0 million, respectively, in short term advances at the FHLBNY, having weighted average interest rates of 0.91% and 1.81%, respectively.  These advances are priced at the federal funds rate plus a spread (generally between 20 and 30 basis points), re-price daily and mature within three months.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, the Company had $34.1 million and $40.1 million in long-term fixed rate advances.

 

NOTE 14 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014‑09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”), which (i) creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope and (ii) revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain (loss) from the transfer of nonfinancial assets, such as securities and premises and equipment. The majority of the Company’s revenues come from interest income and other sources, including loans, leases, securities, and derivatives that are outside the scope of ASC 606. The Company’s services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within other income and are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies its obligation to the customer. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include deposit service charges on deposits, interchange income, and insurance contracts.

The Company, using a modified retrospective transition approach, determined that there will be no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as a result of adopting the new standard, nor will the standard have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements including the timing or amounts of revenue recognized.

29

 

All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized within other income. The following table presents the Company’s sources of other income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Sources of revenue outside the scope of ASC 606 are noted as such.

A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 is as follows:

Service Fees on Deposit Accounts

The Company earns fees from deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed, which is when the Company fulfills the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation.  Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance.

ATM and debit card fees

The Company earns interchange fees from debit and credit card holder transactions conducted through various payment networks.  Interchange fees from cardholder transactions are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided by an outsource technology solution and are presented on a net basis.

Insurance commissions and fees

Commission revenues are recognized as of the effective date of the insurance policy or the date on which the policy premium is processed into our systems, whichever is later. Commission revenues related to installment billings are recognized on the latter of effective or invoiced date. Subsequent commission adjustments are recognized upon our receipt of notification from insurance companies concerning matters necessitating such adjustments. Profit-sharing contingent commissions are recognized when determinable, which is generally when such commissions are received from insurance companies, or when we receive formal notification of the amount of such payments.

Other

Other fees consist of revenues that are both in scope and out of scope of ASC 606. Other fee revenues in scope of ASC 606 are made up of wire transfer fees for deposit customers, other agency fee income for SB One Insurance Agency, and other deposit related fees. Revenues for such fees are recognized at the point the fee is incurred by the customer.

 

NOTE 15 – RIGHT OF USE ASSET AND LEASE LIABILITY

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC Update 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," using the modified retrospective method of applying the new standard at the adoption date. In addition, the Company elected the package of

30

 

practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard as the lessee. This permitted the carry forward of the conclusions on lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. Financial results for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 are presented under the new guidance (Topic 842), while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance (Topic 840).

As a lessee, the majority of the operating lease portfolio consists of real estate leases for the Company's branches and office space. The operating leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 20 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for 5 years or more. The Company recognized and elected the 5-year option for each of its branch locations where an extension was available. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are not recognized for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. The Company does not have any finance leases as the lessee.

Operating lease expense primarily represents fixed lease payments for operating leases recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term. Variable lease expense represents the payment of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance based on the Company's pro-rata share.

NOTE 16 – IMPACT OF COVID-19

The COVID-19  Pandemic Will Have an Uncertain Impact on the Company's Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in widespread infections in the United States beginning in the first quarter of 2020 and may continue for some time. The spread of the outbreak has disrupted the United States economy and is likely to disrupt banking and other financial activity in the market areas in which the Company does business. Regions and states of the United States of America have implemented varying degrees of "stay at home" directives in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus.

In response to the pandemic, the Federal Reserve has engaged in significant levels of monetary policy to provide liquidity and credit facilities to the financial markets. On March 15, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") reduced the target range for the federal funds rate to 0 to 0.25 percent; relatedly, the FOMC reduced the interest rate paid on required and excess reserve balances to 0.10 percent effective March 16, 2020, all of which may negatively impact net interest income.

In response to the pandemic, the United States federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act is expected to provide an estimated $2 trillion in fiscal stimulus to the United States economy.

The extent of the spread of the coronavirus, its ultimate containment and its effects on the economy and the Company are uncertain at this time. The effectiveness of the Federal Reserve Bank's monetary policies and the federal government's fiscal policies in stimulating the United States economy is also uncertain at this time.

The CARES Act includes a provision for the Company to opt out of applying the “troubled-debt restructuring” (TDR) accounting guidance in ASC 310-40 for certain loan modifications. Loan modifications made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of i) December 30, 2020 or ii) 60 days after the President declares a termination of the COVID-19 national emergency are eligible for this relief if the related loans were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. At March 1, 2020, the Company adopted the provision set forth in ASC 310-40 to opt out of applying the TDR for certain loan modifications.

 

Additionally as of the date of this report, the Company has granted payment deferrals totaling $125.1 million for 129 commercial and residential loans.

 

While the Company continues to evaluate the disruption caused by the pandemic and the impact of the CARES Act, these events may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, capital and

32

 

liquidity in fiscal year 2020. Further, a decrease in results of operations may place a strain on the Company’s capital reserve ratios.     

Management expects the Company's net interest income and non-interest income to decline and credit-related losses to increase for an uncertain period given the decline in economic activity occurring due to the coronavirus. The magnitude of the impact on the Company's financial results is uncertain.

In addition, the Company's future success and profitability substantially depends upon the skills and experience of its executive officers and directors, many of whom have held positions with the Company for many years. The unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees due to the outbreak could adversely affect the Company's ability to operate its business or execute its business strategy.

Any one or a combination of the factors identified above, or other factors, could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

We are a community-oriented financial institution serving northern New Jersey, northeastern Pennsylvania, New York City, New York and Queens County, New York.  While offering traditional community bank loan and deposit products and services, we obtain non-interest income through our insurance brokerage operations and the sale of non-deposit products.

We continue to focus on strengthening our core operating performance by improving our net interest income and margin by closely monitoring our yield on earning assets and adjusting the rates offered on deposit products.  We have been focused on building for the future and strengthening our core operating results within our risk management framework.

On March 12, 2020, the Company announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with Provident whereby Provident will acquire the Company in an all-stock transaction. Each outstanding share of Company common stock will be exchanged for 1.357 shares of Provident common stock. The Merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2020, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and approval by the shareholders of the Company.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and practices within the banking industry.  Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments.  The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic increases uncertainty, which has reduced our ability to use past results to estimate future performance. Actual results could differ from those estimates and may be subject to greater volatility than has been the case in the past.

Critical accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and procedures, and are particularly susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.  There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2018.  For additional information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020 AND 2019

Overview – For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company reported net income of $5.1 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share, a decrease of 11.9%, as compared to net income of $5.8 million, or $0.62 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.    The decrease in net income was primarily driven by a decrease in purchase accounting amortization of $653 thousand and merger-related expenses net of tax of $249 thousand as a result of the merger with Provident.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in widespread infections in the United States during the first quarter of 2020 and beyond. Regions and states of the United States of America, have implemented varying degrees of “stay at home” directives in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus. These “stay at home” directives have significantly reduced economic activity in the United States. The “stay at home” directive excludes essential businesses including banks. The Company’s remains open and fully operational. While the Company continues to evaluate the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it may have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of future operations, financial position, capital and liquidity in fiscal year 2020. For further discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, see "Note 16 - Impact of COVID-19.”

Net Interest Income – Net interest income is the difference between interest and deferred fees earned on loans and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income is directly affected by changes in volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that support those assets, as well as changing interest rates when differences exist in repricing dates of assets and liabilities.

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $572 thousand, or 3.9%, to $15.2 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $14.7 million for the same period in 2019.  The increase in net interest income was largely due to a $191.3 million, or 11.1%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally organic growth of loans receivable, which increased $155.6 million, or 10.4%. Net interest margin decreased 25 basis points to 3.21% for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease in net interest margin for the first quarter 2020 is mostly due to a decrease in purchase accounting amortization of $653 thousand, a decrease of prepayment penalties on loans receivable of $207 thousand and a down rate environment on interest earning assets. The Company’s average deposits grew $153.9 million, or 10.9%, for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The Company’s cost of funds in the first quarter of 2020 decreased by 6 basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2019.

Interest Income – Our total interest income, on a fully tax equivalent basis, increased $978 thousand, or 4.9%, to $21.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher average earning assets, which increased $191.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019.  The average yield decreased 30 basis points to 4.43% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to 4.73% for the same period last year.

Our total interest income earned on loans receivable increased $1.2 million, or 6.4%, to $19.3 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019.  The increase was primarily driven by an increase in average balance of loans receivable of $155.6 million, or 10.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period last year. The average yield decreased 22 basis points to 4.69% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to 4.91% for the same period last year.

Our total interest income earned on securities, on a fully tax equivalent basis, decreased $163 thousand, to $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 from $1.9 million for the same period in 2019.  The average yield for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 decreased 70 basis points to 2.96% as compared to the same period in 2019.

Other interest-earning assets include federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits in other banks. Our interest earned on total other interest-earning assets decreased $29 thousand to $20 thousand for the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the same period last year. The average balances in other interest-earning assets increased $10.9 million to $25.6 million in the first quarter of 2020 from $14.7 million during the first quarter a year earlier.  The average yield for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 increased 104 basis points to 0.31% as compared to 1.35% in the same period in 2019 which was mainly driven by the deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank and Wilmington Trust.

Interest Expense – Our interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased $406 thousand, or 7.5%, to $5.8 million from $5.4 million for the same period in 2019.  The increase was principally due to higher average balances in interest-bearing liabilities, which increased $130.4 million, or 11.3%, to $1.3 billion for the first quarter of 2020 from $1.2 billion for the same period in 2019.  

Our interest expense on deposits increased $478 thousand, or 12.4%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was largely attributed to the increase in the average balance of total interest bearing deposits, which increased $130.4 million during the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019.  

35

 

The average rate remained the same at 1.36% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period last year.

Our interest expense on borrowed funds decreased $73 thousand, or 6.0%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period last year. The decrease was largely attributed to a decrease in the average rate of 39 basis points to 2.22% as compared to 2.61% in the same period in 2019.   The decrease was offset by a $17.4 million increase in the average balance of borrowed funds during the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019.

Our interest expense on all of the Company’s subordinated debt increased $1 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period last year.    

Provision for Loan Losses – Provision for loan losses increased $308 thousand, or 53.9%, to $879 thousand for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $571 thousand for the same period in 2019.  The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily driven by changes to our qualitative modeling factors for a possible deterioration of the economic environment due to the circumstances surrounding the state of the COVID-19 pandemic and by an increase in the ALLL due to larger portfolio volume partially offset by a write off that occurred during the first quarter. The provision for loan losses reflects management’s judgment concerning the risks inherent in our existing loan portfolio and the size of the allowance necessary to absorb the risks, as well as the activity in the allowance during the periods.  Management reviews the adequacy of its allowance on an ongoing basis and will provide additional provisions as management may deem necessary.

Non-Interest Income – Our non-interest income increased $48 thousand, or 1.3%, to $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The growth was largely due to increases in other income of $52 thousand, and insurance commissions and fees relating to SB One Insurance Agency of $36 thousand, for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increases in non-interest income were partially offset by a decrease in investment brokerage fees of $41 thousand for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. 

Non-Interest Expense – Our non-interest expenses excluding merger related expenses of $315 thousand increased $0.9 million, or 8.6%, to $11.1 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in non-interest expenses, excluding merger related expenses, occurred largely in salaries and employee benefits, which increased $640 thousand,  data processing, which increased $114 thousand, and occupancy, which increased $100 thousand, for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019.

Salary and employee benefits increased for the first quarter of 2020 versus the first quarter of 2019 mostly due to annual staff pay increases and additional staff to support the continued growth of the Company. Data processing increased as a result of increased customer transaction volume period over period.

Income Taxes – Our income tax expense, which includes both federal and state tax expenses, decreased $13 thousand to $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period last year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was 22.5%, as compared to 20.5% for the first quarter of 2019.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 2020 TO DECEMBER 31, 2019

Total Assets – At March 31, 2020, our total assets were $2.1 billion, an increase of $78.6 million, or 3.9%, as compared to total assets of $2.0 billion at December 31, 2019.  The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in loans receivable of $56.3 million, or 3.5%, to $1.7 billion.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.4 million to $40.3 million at March 31, 2020, or 1.9% of total assets, from $43.7 million, or 2.2% of total assets, at December 31, 2019.

Securities Portfolio – At March 31, 2020, the securities portfolio, which includes available for sale and held to maturity securities, was $238.5 million, compared to $216.2 million at December 31, 2019. Available for sale securities were $232.2 million at March 31, 2020, compared to $212.2 million at December 31, 2019.  The available for sale securities are held primarily for liquidity, interest rate risk management and profitability. Accordingly, our investment policy is to invest in

36

 

securities with low credit risk, such as U.S. government agency obligations, state and political subdivision obligations and mortgage-backed securities. Held to maturity securities were $6.3 million at March 31, 2020 and $4.0 million at December 31, 2019.

Net unrealized gain in the available for sale securities portfolio was $2.1 million at March 31, 2020 as compared to a net unrealized gain of $1.1 million at December 31, 2019.

We conduct a regular assessment of our investment securities to determine whether any securities are OTTI.  Further details of the composition of the securities portfolio and discussion of the results of the most recent OTTI assessment are in Note 3 – Securities to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The unrealized losses in our securities portfolio are mostly driven by changes in spreads and market interest rates.  All of our securities in an unrealized loss position have been evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment as of March 31, 2020 and we do not consider any security OTTI.  We evaluated the prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and the duration of the unrealized losses.  In addition, we do not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell, any of our securities before recovery of their cost basis.

Other investments, which consisted primarily of FHLB stock, decreased $11 thousand to $12.5 million at March 31, 2020 as compared to $12.5 million at December 31, 2019. We also held $200 thousand in time deposits with other financial institutions at March 31, 2020 and at December 31, 2019.

Loans – The loan portfolio comprises our largest class of earning assets.  Total loans receivable, net of unearned income, increased $55.7 million, or 3.4%, to $1.7 billion at March 31, 2020, as compared to $1.6 billion at December 31, 2019.

Loan and Asset Quality – The ratio of  non-performing assets (“NPAs”), which include non-accrual loans, loans 90 days past due and still accruing, troubled debt restructured loans currently performing in accordance with renegotiated terms and foreclosed real estate, to total assets increased to 0.85% at March 31, 2020, as compared to 0.83% at December 31, 2019. The ratio of NPAs to total assets decreased to 0.85% at March 31, 2020, as compared to 1.35% at March 31, 2019. NPAs exclude $2.5 million of Purchased Credit-Impaired (“PCI”) loans acquired through the merger with Community Bank of Bergen County (“Community Bank”). NPAs increased $942 thousand to $17.6 million at March 31, 2020, as compared to $16.7 million at December 31, 2019.  Non-accrual loans, excluding $2.5 million of PCI loans, increased $1.6 million, or 14.4%, to $13.1 million at March 31, 2020, as compared to $11.4 million at December 31, 2019.  Loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $5.0 million at March 31, 2020, representing a decrease of $2.8 million, or 36.4%, as compared to $7.8 million at December 31, 2019.

We continue to actively market our foreclosed real estate properties, the value of which decreased $696 thousand to $3.1 million at March 31, 2020 as compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 2019.  The decrease in foreclosed real estate properties was attributable to the sale of two properties totaling $696 thousand. At March 31, 2020, the Company’s foreclosed real estate properties had an average carrying value of approximately $310 thousand per property.

Management continues to monitor our asset quality and believes that the NPAs are adequately collateralized and anticipated material losses have been adequately reserved for in the allowance for loan losses.  However, given the

37

 

uncertainty of the current real estate market, additional provisions for losses may be deemed necessary in future periods.  The following table provides information regarding risk elements in the loan portfolio at each of the periods presented:

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance, when based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan.  Total impaired loans were $13.2 million and $14.3 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  The Company also had PCI loans from the acquisition of Community with a carrying value of $3.0 million at March 31, 2020.

Impaired loans include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.  These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.  Not all impaired loans and restructured loans are non-accrual, and therefore not all are considered non-performing loans.  Restructured loans still accruing totaled $1.4 million and $1.5 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

We also continue to monitor our portfolio for potential problem loans. Potential problem loans are defined as loans which cause management to have serious concerns as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may cause the loan to be placed on non-accrual status. As of March 31, 2020, we had $13.0 million that we deemed potential problem loans. Management is actively monitoring these loans.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company has granted payment deferrals totaling $125.1 million for 129 commercial and residential loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

While the Company continues to evaluate the disruption caused by the pandemic and the impact of the CARES Act  based on the incurred loss methodology currently utilized by the Company, the provision for loan losses and charge-offs may be impacted in future periods.

Further detail of the credit quality of the loan portfolio is included in Note 5 – Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Quality of Financing Receivables to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses consists of general, allocated and unallocated components.  The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical charge-off experience and expected losses derived from our internal risk rating process.  The unallocated component covers the potential for other adjustments that may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

Management regularly assesses the appropriateness and adequacy of the loan loss reserve in relation to credit exposure associated with individual borrowers, overall trends in the loan portfolio and other relevant factors, and believes the reserve is reasonable and adequate for each of the periods presented.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses increased $600 thousand, or 5.8%, to $10.9 million, at March 31, 2020 as compared to $10.3 million at December 31, 2019. The Company’s outstanding credit mark recorded on the legacy Community Bank and Enterprise Bank, N.J. (“Enterprise”) portfolios of $315.5 million totaled $6.1 million at March 31,

38

 

2020. The Company’s combined  allowance for loan loss and the credit mark on the legacy Community Bank and Enterprise portfolios totaled approximately $17.0 million, or 1.00% of the overall loan portfolio, at March 31, 2020. The Company recorded $866 thousand in provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $552 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.  Additionally, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $276 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $163 thousand in net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. 

The table below presents information regarding our provision and allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

Bank-Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) – Our BOLI carrying value amounted to $36.9 million at March 31, 2020 and $37.2 million at December 31, 2019.  The decrease of $273 thousand is largely due to the payback on a BOLI preliminary contract of $500 thousand that we decided not to pursue offset by net earnings on BOLI policies.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles – Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired.  At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, we had recorded goodwill totaling $27.3 million.  Our recorded goodwill includes the acquisition of Tri-State in 2001, the 2006 acquisition of deposits and the acquisitions of Community and Enterprise.  In accordance with U.S. GAAP, goodwill is not amortized, but evaluated at least annually for impairment.  Any impairment of goodwill results in a charge to income.  We recorded a core deposit intangible of $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the Community and Enterprise acquisitions, respectively.  For the period ended March 31, 2020, we amortized $91 thousand in core deposit intangible.  We periodically assess whether events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of goodwill and intangible assets may be impaired.  The Company prepared a Step 1 goodwill impairment analysis at March 31, 2020, due to ongoing economic uncertainty. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company compared the estimated fair value of its reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its book value, therefore, no write-down of goodwill was required at March 31, 2020. The goodwill related to the insurance agency is not deductible for tax purposes.

39

 

Deposits – Our total deposits increased $73.5 million, or 4.8%, to $1.6 billion at March 31, 2020, from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2019. The growth in deposits was mostly due to an increase in interest bearing deposits of $46.0 million, or 3.6%, and an increase in non-interest bearing deposits of $27.5 million, or 10.7%, at March 31, 2020, as compared to December 31, 2019.

Borrowings – Our borrowings consist of short-term and long-term advances from the FHLB.  The advances are secured under terms of a blanket collateral agreement by a pledge of qualifying mortgage loans.  We had $230.3 million and $233.1 million in borrowings at the FHLB, at a weighted average interest rate of 1.10% and 1.87% at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  The long-term borrowings at March 31, 2020 consisted of $34.1 million of fixed rate advances.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swap agreements related to four of its FHLB borrowings.  Please refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources – Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

Subordinated Debentures – On June 28, 2007, Sussex Capital Trust II (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory business trust and our non-consolidated wholly owned subsidiary, issued $12.5 million of variable rate capital trust pass-through securities to investors.  The Trust purchased $12.9 million of variable rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures from us.  The debentures are the sole asset of the Trust.  The terms of the junior subordinated debentures are the same as the terms of the capital securities.  We have also fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of the Trust under the capital securities. The interest rate is based on the three-month LIBOR plus 144 basis points and adjusts quarterly.  The rate at March 31, 2020 was 2.18%.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement related to the junior subordinated debentures where the Company pays a fixed rate of 3.10% and receives the three-month LIBOR plus 144 basis points. Please refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources – Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.  The capital securities are currently redeemable by us at par in whole or in part.  The capital securities must be redeemed upon final maturity of the subordinated debentures on September 15, 2037.  The proceeds of these trust preferred securities, which have been contributed to the Bank, are included in the Bank’s capital ratio calculations and treated as Tier I capital.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company completed the private placement of the subordinated notes.  The subordinated notes have a maturity date of December 22, 2026 and bear interest at the rate of 5.75% per annum, payable quarterly, for the first five years of the term, and then at a variable rate that will reset quarterly to a level equal to the then current 3‑month LIBOR plus 350 basis points over the remainder of the term.

In accordance with FASB ASC 810, Consolidations, our wholly owned subsidiary, the Trust, is not included in our consolidated financial statements.

Equity – Stockholders’ equity, inclusive of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income taxes, was $194.9 million at March 31, 2020, a decrease of $4.3 million when compared to December 31, 2019.  At March 31, 2020, the leverage, Tier I risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and common equity Tier I capital ratios for the Bank were 9.97%, 11.52%, 12.15%,  and 11.52%, respectively, all in excess of the ratios required to be deemed “well-capitalized.”

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

A fundamental component of our business strategy is to manage liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient resources to meet all financial obligations and to finance prospective business opportunities. Liquidity management is critical to our stability. Our liquidity position over any given period of time is a product of our operating, financing and investing activities. The extent of such activities is often shaped by such external factors as competition for deposits and loan demand.

Traditionally, financing for our loans and investments is derived primarily from deposits, along with interest and principal payments on loans and investments.  At March 31, 2020, total deposits amounted to $1.6 billion, an increase of $73.5 million, or 4.8%, from December 31, 2019.  At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, borrowings from the FHLB and subordinated debentures totaled $258.1 million and $261.0 million, respectively, and represented 12.4% and 13.0% of total assets, respectively.

40

 

Loan production continued to be our principal investing activity. Total loans receivable, net of unearned income, at March 31, 2020, amounted to $1.7 billion, an increase of $56.3 million, or 3.5%, compared to December 31, 2019.

Our most liquid assets are cash and due from banks and federal funds sold.  At March 31, 2020, the total of such assets amounted to $40.3 million, or 1.9%, of total assets, compared to $43.7 million, or 2.2% of total assets at December 31, 2019. Another significant liquidity source is our available for sale securities portfolio.  At March 31, 2020, available for sale securities amounted to $232.2 million, compared to $212.2 million at December 31, 2019.

In addition to the aforementioned sources of liquidity, we have available various other sources of liquidity, including federal funds purchased from other banks and the FRB discount window.  The Bank also has the capacity to borrow an additional $110.1 million through its membership in the FHLB and $10.0 million from ACBB at March 31, 2020. Management believes that our sources of funds are sufficient to meet our present funding requirements.

In July 2013, the FRB, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC approved final rules (the “Capital Rules”) that established a new capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The Capital Rules generally implement the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s  December 2010 final capital framework referred to as “Basel III” for strengthening international capital standards. In addition, the Capital Rules implement certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, including the requirements of Section 939A to remove references to credit ratings from the federal banking agencies’ rules.

At March 31, 2020, the Bank’s Tier I, Total and Common Equity Tier I (“CET1”) capital ratios were 11.52%, 12.15% and 11.52%, respectively.  In addition to the risk-based guidelines, the Bank’s regulators require that banks which meet the regulators’ highest performance and operational standards maintain a minimum leverage ratio (Tier I capital as a percentage of tangible assets) of 4.0%.  As of March 31, 2020, the Bank had a leverage ratio of 9.97%.  The Bank’s risk based and leverage ratios are in excess of those required to be considered “well-capitalized” under FDIC regulations.

The Capital Rules also require a “capital conservation buffer,” composed entirely of CET1, on top of these minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the capital conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity and other capital instrument repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. Beginning January 1, 2016, the capital standards applicable to the Company include an additional capital conservation buffer of 0.625%, increasing 0.625% each year thereafter. The Company maintains an additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of CET1, effectively resulting in minimum ratios inclusive of the capital conservation buffer of (i) CET1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 7%, (ii) Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.5%, and (iii) total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10.5%. As of March 31, 2020, the Bank had a capital conservation buffer of 4.15%.

Effective January 1, 2020 community banks with total consolidated assets under $10 billion, total off-balance sheet exposures of 25% or less of total consolidated assets, leverage ratio greater than 9% and trading assets and liabilities of 5% or less of total consolidated assets can opt into the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (“CBLR”) framework. A qualifying bank can opt into the CBLR framework at any time or opt out and become subject to general capital rules by completing the associated reporting data in the FFIEC Call Report. The impact of this regulatory simplification allows the electing bank to not have to complete the risk weighting schedules for schedule RC-R in the FFIEC Call Report. Instead, if the Company opts into the CBLR framework and meets the qualifying criteria, it will be considered to have satisfied the risk-based and leverage capital requirements in the generally applicable Capital Rules and to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements for PCA purposes. At March 31, 2020, the Company has elected not to adopt the CBLR framework.

The Capital Rules substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries. The risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposures and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid, low-risk assets. The capital guidelines apply on a consolidated basis to bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $1 billion or more, and to certain bank holding companies with less than $1 billion in assets if they are engaged in substantial non-banking activity or meet certain other criteria.

We have no investment or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital resources, except for the trust preferred securities of the Trust.  We are not aware of any known trends or any known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties, which would result in any material increase or decrease in liquidity.  Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – Our consolidated financial statements do not reflect off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business.  These off-balance sheet arrangements consist of unfunded loans and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments.  At March 31, 2020, these unused commitments totaled $310.2 million and consisted of $176.6 million in commitments to grant commercial real estate, construction and land development loans, $39.4 million in home equity lines of credit, $92.2 million in other unused commitments and $2.0 million in letters of credit.  These instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to us.  Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $38.5 million, of which all are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company entered into $26.0 million in forward starting interest rate swap agreements coinciding with the maturity of five FHLB advances over the next 21 months that had an average rate of 4.03%.  The forward interest rate swaps have a term of 10 years at an average fixed rate of 1.97% and will hedge short term wholesale funding.  Additionally, the Company entered into a $12.5 million interest rate swap agreement to coincide with a junior subordinated debt issued by Sussex Capital Trust II, for a term of 10 years at a fixed rate of 3.10%.

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $40 million, of which all are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company entered into $20.0 million in two different forward starting interest rate swap agreements coinciding with the maturity of two FHLB advances over 36 and 48 months both beginning on September 15, 2018. The forward interest rate swap with a 3 year term has a fixed rate of 2.89% and the forward interest rate swap with a 4 year term has a fixed rate of 2.90%.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $35 million, of which all are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company entered into $17.5 million in two different forward starting interest rate swap agreements coinciding with the maturity of two FHLB advances over 36 and 48 months both beginning on September 15, 2018. The forward interest rate swap with a 3 year term has a fixed rate of 2.85% and the forward interest rate swap with a 4 year term has a fixed rate of 2.86%.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount totaling $40 million, designated as a cash flow hedge. The Company entered into a $40 million brokered CD. The forward interest rate swap with a 3 year term has a fixed rate of 2.56%.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company entered into five forward starting interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount totaling $85 million, designated as a cash flow hedge of variable cash flows, one associated with a $20 million with a one month LIBOR (IND Promontory) or similar funding, with a 3 year term and a fixed rate of 1.87%, one associated with a $25 million brokered CD, with a 3 year term and a fixed rate of 2.21%, one associated with a $20 million brokered CD, with a 3 year term and a fixed rate of 2.13%, one associated with a $10 million one month LIBOR (IND Promontory) or similar funding, with a 4 year term and a fixed rate of 1.59%, and one associated with a $10 million one month LIBOR (IND Promontory) or similar funding, with a 5 year term and a fixed rate of 1.62%.

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely discussion regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

We are not involved in any legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business.   Management believes that such proceedings are, in the aggregate, immaterial to our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Item 1A - Risk Factors

For a summary of risk factors relevant to our operations, see Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

 

The economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected, and is likely to continue to adversely affect, the business and results of operations of the Company.

 

In December 2019, a coronavirus was reported in China, and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. On March 12, 2020 the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States as many state and local governments have ordered non-essential businesses to close and residents to shelter in place at home. This has resulted in an unprecedented slow-down in economic activity and a related increase in unemployment. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, more than 30 million people have filed claims for unemployment, and stock markets have declined in value and in particular bank stocks have significantly declined in value. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Federal Reserve has reduced the benchmark fed funds rate to a target range of 0% to 0.25%, and the yields on 10 and 30-year treasury notes have declined to historic lows. Various state governments and federal agencies are requiring lenders to provide forbearance and other relief to borrowers (e.g., waiving late payment and other fees). The federal banking agencies have encouraged financial institutions to prudently work with affected borrowers and recently passed legislation has provided relief from reporting loan classifications due to modifications related to the COVID-19 outbreak. Certain industries have been particularly hard-hit, including the travel and hospitality industry, the restaurant industry and the retail industry. Finally, the spread of the coronavirus has caused the Company to modify its business practices, including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences. The Company has many employees working remotely and may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that it determines is in the best interests of its employees, customers and business partners.

 

43

 

Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be reopened. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, the Company

could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on its respective business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:

 

·

demand for products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income;

·

if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income;

·

collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to

·

increase;

·

the Company’s allowance for loan losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties beyond forbearance periods, which will adversely affect their net income;

·

the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to the Company;

·

as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on the Company’s assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in its cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing its net interest margin and spread and reducing net income;

·

a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of the Company’s quarterly cash dividend;

·

the Company’s investment portfolio may suffer a substantial decrease in value;

·

the Company’s cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; and

·

the Company relies on third party vendors for certain services and the unavailability of a critical service due to the COVID-19 outbreak could have an adverse effect on the Company.

 

These factors, among others, together or in combination with other events or occurrences not yet known or anticipated, could adversely affect the operations of the Company.

 

Because the price of Provident common stock will fluctuate, our shareholders cannot be certain of the market value of the merger consideration.

 

Upon completion of the Merger, each share of our common stock will be converted into the right to receive 1.357 shares of Provident common stock. The dollar value of the Provident common stock that our shareholders will receive upon completion of the Merger will depend upon the market value of Provident common stock at the time of completion of the Merger, which may be lower or higher than the closing price of Provident common stock on the last full trading day preceding the public announcement that we and Provident entered into the merger agreement, the last full trading day prior to the date the proxy statement/prospectus was mailed or the date of our annual meeting. The market values of Provident common stock and our common stock have varied since we entered into the merger agreement and will continue to vary in the future due to changes in the business, operations or prospects of us and Provident, market assessments of the Merger, regulatory considerations, market and economic considerations, and other factors, most of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, at the time of our annual meeting, our shareholders will not necessarily know or be able to calculate the value of the merger consideration they would be entitled to receive upon completion of the Merger.

 

We will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Merger is pending.

 

Uncertainty about the effect of the Merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on us. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Merger is completed, and could cause customers and others who deal with us to seek to change existing business relationships with us. Our employee retention and recruitment may be particularly challenging prior to the effective time of the Merger, as employees and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company.

44

 

 

The pursuit of the Merger and the preparation for the integration may place a significant burden on management and internal resources. Any significant diversion of management attention away from ongoing business and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could affect our financial results. In addition, the merger agreement requires that we operate in the usual, regular and ordinary course of business and restricts us from taking certain actions prior to the effective time of the Merger or termination of the merger agreement without Provident’s consent in writing. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Merger.

 

Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact our stock price and future business and financial results.

 

The merger agreement is subject to a number of conditions which must be fulfilled in order to complete the Merger. These conditions to complete the Merger may not be fulfilled and, accordingly, the mergers may not be completed. In addition, if the Merger is not completed by January 31, 2021, either we or Provident may choose to terminate the merger agreement at any time after such date if the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement is not caused by any breach of the merger agreement by us or Provident electing to terminate the merger agreement before or after our shareholders’ approval of the merger proposal.

 

If the Merger is not consummated, our ongoing business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected and the market prices of our common stock may decline significantly, particularly to the extent that the current market prices reflect a market assumption that the Merger will be consummated. If the consummation of the Merger is delayed, including by the receipt of a competing acquisition proposal, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

 

In addition, we have incurred and will incur substantial expenses in connection with the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, as well as the costs and expenses of filing, printing and mailing the proxy statement/prospectus and all filing and other fees paid to the SEC and other regulatory agencies in connection with the Merger. If the Merger is not completed, we would have to recognize these expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the Merger. Any of the foregoing, or other risks arising in connection with the failure of or delay in consummating the Merger, including the diversion of management attention from pursuing other opportunities and the constraints in the merger agreement on the ability to make significant changes to our ongoing business during the pendency of the Merger, could have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial conditions and results of operations.

 

Additionally, our business may have been adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the Merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Merger. If the merger agreement is terminated and our board of directors seeks another merger or business combination, our shareholders cannot be certain that we will be able to find a party willing to engage in a transaction on more attractive terms than the Merger.

 

Provident may be unable to successfully integrate our operations or otherwise realize the expected benefits from the Merger, which could adversely affect Provident’s results of operations and financial condition.

 

The Merger involves the integration of two companies that have previously operated independently. The difficulties of combining the operations of the two companies include:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

converting customers to new systems;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

combining different corporate cultures; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

retaining key employees.

 

45

 

 

The process of integrating operations could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of the business and the loss of key personnel. The integration of the two companies will require the experience and expertise of certain of our key employees who are expected to be retained by Provident. Provident may not be successful in retaining these employees for the time period necessary to successfully integrate our operations with those of Provident. The diversion of management’s attention and any delay or difficulty encountered in connection with the Merger and the integration of the two companies’ operations could have an adverse effect on the business and results of operations of Provident following the Merger.

 

The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on Provident’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from combining our business with Provident’s. If Provident is unable to successfully integrate us, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Merger may not be realized fully or may take longer to realize than expected. For example, Provident may fail to realize the anticipated increase in earnings and cost savings anticipated to be derived from the Merger. In addition, as with regard to any merger, a significant decline in asset valuations or cash flows may also cause Provident not to realize expected benefits.

 

The termination fee and the restrictions on solicitation contained in the merger agreement may discourage other companies from trying to acquire us.

 

Until the completion of the Merger, with some exceptions, we are prohibited from soliciting, initiating, knowingly encouraging or participating in any discussion of or otherwise considering any inquiry or proposal that may lead to an acquisition proposal, such as a merger or other business combination transaction, with any person other than Provident. In addition, we have agreed to pay a $9.0 million termination fee to Provident in specified circumstances. These provisions could discourage other companies that may have an interest in acquiring us from considering or proposing such an acquisition even though those other companies might be willing to offer greater value to our shareholders than Provident has offered in the Merger. The payment of the termination fee could also have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

Our directors and executive officers have interests that are different from, or in addition to, interests of our shareholders generally.

 

Certain of our directors and executive officers have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders generally. These include: (i) certain of our directors and executive officers hold outstanding equity awards from us and pursuant to the merger agreement will receive both accelerated vesting thereof and payments with respect thereto in connection with the Merger; (ii) three of our current board members will be joining the Provident board of directors upon completion of the Merger; (iii) all of our current board members (excluding the directors who are appointed to the Provident and Provident Bank boards of directors) will be invited to join a Provident advisory board to serve for an initial term of two years; (iv) continued employment has been offered by Provident Bank to our President and Chief Executive Officer; (v) severance or other payments that certain executive officers may receive under existing employment or change-in-control agreements; and (vi) provisions in the merger agreement relating to indemnification of our directors and officers and insurance for our directors and officers for events occurring before the Merger.

 

Our shareholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the Merger and will exercise less influence over management of the combined organization.

 

Our shareholders currently have the right to vote in the election of our board of directors and on various other matters affecting us. Upon the completion of the Merger, each of our shareholders will become a shareholder of Provident with a percentage ownership of the combined organization that is significantly smaller than the shareholder’s percentage ownership of us. It is expected that our former shareholders as a group will receive shares in the Merger constituting approximately 16.3% of the outstanding shares of Provident common stock immediately after the Merger, representing less than a majority of the ownership and voting power of Provident. As a result, our shareholders will have significantly less influence on the management and policies of Provident than they now have on the management and policies of us.  

 

46

 

The shares of Provident common stock to be received by our shareholders as a result of the Merger will have different rights from shares of our common stock.

 

Following completion of the Merger, our shareholders who receive the merger consideration will no longer be our shareholders but will instead be stockholders of Provident. There will be differences between the current rights of our shareholders and the rights of Provident stockholders that may be important to our shareholders.

 

The opinion received by our board of directors from our financial advisor prior to the signing of the merger agreement does not reflect changes in circumstances subsequent to the date of the opinion.

 

KBW, our financial advisor in connection with the Merger, delivered to our board of directors an opinion dated March 11, 2020 as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the exchange ratio in the Merger. The opinion does not speak as of the time the Merger will be completed or any date other than the date of such opinion. The opinion does not reflect changes that may occur or may have occurred after the date of the opinion, including changes to the operations and prospects of us and Provident, changes in general market and economic conditions or regulatory or other factors such as the worsening COVID-19 pandemic. Any such changes may materially alter or affect the relative values of us and Provident.

 

Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated.

 

Before the Merger may be completed, various approvals and consents must be obtained from regulatory entities. These regulators may impose conditions on the completion of the Merger or require changes to the terms of the Merger. Any such conditions or changes could have the effect of delaying completion of the Merger or imposing additional costs on or limiting the revenues of Provident following the Merger.

 

Either we or Provident may terminate the merger agreement if the Merger has not been completed by January 31, 2021, unless the failure of the Merger to be completed has resulted from the failure of us or Provident seeking to terminate the merger agreement to perform its obligations under the merger agreement.

 

Goodwill incurred in the Merger may negatively affect Provident’s financial condition.

 

To the extent that the value of the shares of Provident common stock issued or to be issued in the Merger exceeds the fair value of our net assets, including identifiable intangibles, that amount will be reported as goodwill by Provident. In accordance with current accounting guidance, goodwill will not be amortized but will be evaluated for impairment annually. A failure to realize expected benefits of the Merger could adversely impact the carrying value of the goodwill recognized in the Merger, and in turn negatively affect Provident’s financial condition.

 

The price of Provident common stock might decrease after the Merger.

 

Upon completion of the Merger, holders of our common stock will become shareholders of Provident. Provident common stock could decline in value after the Merger. For example, during the twelve-month period ending on April 30, 2020 (the most recent practicable date before the printing of the proxy statement/prospectus), the closing price of Provident common stock varied from a low of $9.69 to a high of $26.77 and ended that period at $14.35. The market value of Provident common stock fluctuates based upon general market conditions, Provident’s business and prospects and other factors. Further, the market price of Provident common stock after the Merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting our common stock or the common stock of Provident. Our and Provident’s businesses differ and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the market price of the combined company’s shares of common stock may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations and market prices of common stock of both us and Provident.

 

Our shareholders do not have appraisal or dissenters’ rights in the Merger.

 

47

 

Appraisal or dissenters’ rights are statutory rights that, if applicable under law, enable shareholders to dissent from an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, and to demand that the corporation pay the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to shareholders in that extraordinary transaction. Under the New Jersey law, holders of our common stock are not entitled to appraisal rights in the Merger with respect to their shares of our common stock because our common stock is listed on a national securities exchange.
