The market area is a mix of urban, suburban and rural areas, with the Seattle metropolitan area harboring a well-developed urban areacenter along the eastern portion of Puget Sound. The region extends from Whatcom County in the north on the Canadian border to Thurston and Pierce counties to the south. Other key metropolitan areas within the

Puget Sound region include Bellingham (Whatcom County), Burlington (Skagit County), Everett (Snohomish County), Tacoma (Pierce County) and Olympia the state capital (Thurston County).

The military presence includes a number of large installations serving the U.S. Air Force, Army and Navy. Given the employment profile, the region's workforce is generally highly educated. Washington's geographic proximity to the Pacific Rim along with a deep water port has made it a center for international trade, as well, which contributes significantly to the regional economy (one in three jobs in Washington is tied to foreign exports).economy. The Washington ports make Washington the fourth largest exporting state in the nation, and the top five trading partners with Washington include China, Mexico, Canada, Japan and Korea. Tourism has also developed into a major industry, for the area, due to the scenic beauty, temperate climate, and easy accessibility. Maritime industry employment, supported by the trade and fishing industries, is also an important employment sector.

The regional economy has had a historical dependence on the aerospace industry, which has had periods of strong growth as well as reductions in activity. Over the past few years, growth rates have been steady and long-term growth trends are favorable as the market area continues to maintain a highly educated and motivated workforce, and the Puget Sound region remains a desirable place to live. In the most recent periods, similar to national trends, most of the Puget Sound region has recovered from the prior issues related to home value declines, foreclosure rates, and other real estate related problems that were a result of the national recession of 2007-2009.

One- to Four-Family Real Estate Lending. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans (excluding loans held for sale) totaled $328.2$306.0 million, or 44.7%34.6%, of our grosstotal loan portfolio, including $41.9$23.2 million, or 12.8%7.6%, of loans secured by properties outside the state of Washington, primarily purchased loan pools in the states of California and Ohio. We originate both fixed and adjustable-rate residential loans, which can be sold in the secondary market or retained in our portfolio, and supplement those originations with loan purchases from time to time, depending on our balance sheet objectives. Residential loans are underwritten to either secondary market standards for sale or to internal underwriting standards, which may not meet Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") and Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") eligibility requirements.

Fixed-rate residential mortgages are offered with repayment terms between 10 and 30 years, priced off of Freddie Mac posted daily pricing indications adjusted for economic and competitive considerations. Adjustable-rate residential mortgage products with similar amortization terms are also offered, with an interest rate that is typically fixed for an initial period ranging from 1one to 7seven years with annual adjustments thereafter. Future interest rate adjustments include periodic caps of no more than 2% and lifetime caps of 5% to 6% above the initial interest rate, with no borrower prepayment restrictions.

Borrower demand for adjustable-rate mortgage loans typically increases when borrowers expect lower mortgage rates in the future. Adjustable-rate mortgage loans could increase credit risk when interest rates rise. An increase to the borrower's loan payment may affect the borrower's ability to repay and could increase the probability of default. To mitigate this risk to both the borrower and First Federal, adjustable rate loans contain both periodic and lifetime interest rate caps, limiting the amount of payment changes. In addition, depending on market conditions, we may underwrite the borrower at a higher interest rate and payment amount than the initial rate. We do not offer adjustable-rate mortgages with deep discount teaser rates. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, the average interest rate on our adjustable-rate mortgage loans was approximately 0.1%17.0% under the fully indexed rate. As of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, we had $112.5$112.1 million, or 15.4%12.7%, of adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans in our residential loan portfolio.

The underwriting process considers a variety of factors including but not limited to, credit history, debt to income ratios, property type, loan to value ratio, and occupancy. For loans with over 80% loan to value ratios, we typically require private mortgage insurance, which reduces our exposure to loss in the event of a default on the loan.loan default. Credit risk is also mitigated by obtaining title insurance, hazard insurance, and flood insurance. Residential mortgage loans which require appraisals are appraised by independent fee appraisers approved by First Federal.fee-based appraisers.

In connection with rules and regulations issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
("CFPB"), defining qualifiedwe are required to make a reasonable, good-faith determination before or when we consummate a mortgage loans based onloan that the borrower’sborrower has a reasonable ability to repay the loan, and in some cases involving qualified mortgages we are presumed to have complied with this requirement. We believe that generally all of our mortgage loans originated meet this standard.these standards.

At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, we have identified $46.1$43.6 million of our commercial real estate portfolio as owner-occupied commercial real estate and $214.1$308.3 million is secured by income producing, or non-owner-occupied, commercial real estate. Substantially all of our commercial real estate and multi-family loans are secured by properties located in Washington State.the state of Washington.

TheseCommercial and multi-family real estate loans are generally priced at a higher rate of interest than one- to four-family residential loans, to compensate for the greater risk associated with higher loan balances and the complexity of underwriting and monitoring.monitoring these loans. Repayment on loans secured by commercial or multi-family properties is dependent on successful management or utilization of the land and improvements by the property owner to create sufficient net operating income to meet debt service requirements. Changes in economic and real estate market conditions can affect net operating income, capitalization rates, and ultimately the valuation and marketability of the collateral. As a result, we analyze market data including but not limited to, vacancy rates, absorption percentages, leasing rates, and competing projects under development. Interest rate, occupancy and capitalization rate stress testing are required as part of our underwriting analysis. If the borrower is a corporation, we generally require and obtain personal guarantees from the corporate principals, which include underwriting of their personal financial statements, tax returns, cash flows and individual credit reports, which providesthat provide us with additional support and a secondary source for repayment of the debt.


We offer both fixed- and adjustable-rate loans on commercial and multi-family real estate, which may include balloon loans.payments. As of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, we had $163.6$181.3 million in adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans and $56.7$60.1 million in adjustable-rate multi-family loans. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans with adjustable rates generally adjust after an initial period of three to five years. These loans generallyyears and have maturity dates between 3 and 10of three to ten years. Amortization terms are generally limited to terms up to 25 years on commercial real estate loans and up to 30 years on multi-family loans. Adjustable-rate multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans are generally priced to market indices with appropriate margins, which may include the U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury Rate, LIBOR, The Wall Street Journal prime rate, or other acceptable index.a similar term FHLB borrowing rate.

During 2019, the Bank moved away from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as a market index in anticipation of its sunset in 2022 and in order to mitigate the transition of existing loans tied to LIBOR to a new index, which has yet to be determined. Substantially all adjustable-rate commercial and multi-family real estate loans are subject to a floor rate, and the weighted average floor rate on these loans was 4.14%4.38% at June 30, 2017.December 31, 2019. Of all of the adjustable-rate commercial loans, 48%100.0% are subject to a ceiling rate, and the weighted average ceiling rate on those loans was 4.16%14.75% at June 30, 2017.December 31, 2019.

The maximum loan to value ratio for commercial and multi-family real estate loans is typically limited to 75% of thean appraiser opinion of market value or determined by thevalue. The minimum debt to income service coverage ratio which is 1.20x1.25 for non-owner-occupied and owner-occupied properties. In addition, aggregate debt service ratios, including the guarantor’s cash flow and the borrower’s other projects, are required by policy to have a minimum income to debt service ratio of 1.20. We require independent appraisals or evaluations on all loans secured by commercial or multi-family real estate from an approved appraisers list.

We require mostOnce we make a loan, we monitor the relationship at least annually to assure the borrower continues to meet certain loan requirements as set forth at origination, which may include an annual inspection of our commercialthe property. Commercial and multi-family real estate loan borrowers to submit annual financial statements and/loans of $1.5 million or rent rolls on the subject property, as well as personal financial statements of borrowers and guarantors. These properties may also begreater are subject to annual inspections with pictures to support thata formal credit review of the appropriate maintenance is being performed by the owner/borrower. All commercial real estate loans over $1.0 million are reviewedentire lending relationship at least annually, along with each commercial real estate borrowerwhich includes detailed financial and as applicable, each guarantor. The loan and its borrowers and/or guarantors are subject to an annual risk certification verifying that the loan is properly risk rated based uponcash flow analysis, covenant compliance and other terms as provided for in the loan agreements.annual risk rating certification. While this process does notwe cannot prevent loans from becoming delinquent, it doeswe believe our monitoring and formal review processes provide us with the opportunity to better identify problem loans in a timely manner and to work with the borrower prior to the loan becoming delinquent.

The average outstanding loan size in our commercial real estate portfolio, including multi-family loans, was $1.0$1.2 million as of June 30, 2017.December 31, 2019. We generally target individual commercial and multi-family real estate loans between $1.0 million and $5.0 million to small and mid-size owners and investors in our market areas as well as other parts of Washington. We will also make commercial and multi-family real estate loans in other states if we have a pre-existing relationship with the borrower.

Our three largest commercial and multi-family borrowing relationships, including current loan balances and unused commitments, at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 consisted of a $15.9$16.8 million relationship secured primarily by three multi-family projectsreal estate and multi-family construction in King County, a $12.4$16.6 million relationship secured by multi-family real estate in Pierce, King, and Thurston Counties, and a warehouse distribution and manufacturing facility in King County, and an $11.4$14.3 million relationship primarily secured by a hotelcommercial real estate and commercial construction in KingClallam County.

This increase over the past year reflects our strategic decision to focus on increasing construction loan origination activity as real estate values and general economic conditions in our market areas continued to improve.December 31, 2018. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, the undisbursed portion of construction loans in process totaled $32.0$46.8 million compared to $57.0 million at December 31, 2018.

First Federal offers an “all-in-one” residential adjustable-rate custom construction loan product, which upon completion of construction will be held in our loan portfolio. We also originate construction loans for certain commercial real estate projects. These projects include, but are not limited to, subdivisions, multi-family, retail, office/office, warehouse, hotel, and office buildings. Underwriting criteria on these loans include, but are not limited to, minimum debt service coverage requirements of 1.201.25 or better, loan to value limitations, pre-leasing requirements, construction cost over-run contingency reserves, interest and absorption period reserves, occupancy, capitalization rates and interest rate stress testing, as well as other underwriting criteria.

Construction loan applications generally require the borrower to provide architectural and working plans, a material specifications list, a detailed cost breakdown and a construction contract. Construction loan advances are based on progress payments for “work in place” based on detailed line item construction budgets. Independent construction inspectors are used to evaluate the construction draw request relative to the progress and “work in place.”progress. Our construction administrator reviews all construction projects, inspection reports, and construction loan advance requests to ensure they are appropriate and in compliance with all loan conditions. Other risk management tools include title insurance, date down endorsements or periodic lien inspections prior to the payment of construction loan advances. In some cases, general contractors may be required to provide sub-contractor lien releases for any work performed prior to the filing of our deed of trust or prior to each construction loan advance.

Construction lending for custom construction as well asCustom and speculative construction requires additional underwriting measures to effectively manage the construction process and future collateral value. Valuations on construction loansvaluations are based on the assumption that the finished improvementsproject will be built in strict accordance with plans and specifications submitted to us at the time of the loan application. The appraiser must taketakes into consideration the proposed design and market appeal of the improvements, based on current market conditions and demand for homes, although the improvements may not be completed for six to 12twelve months or longer, depending on the complexity of the plans and specifications and market conditions.

Land acquisition, development and construction loans are available on a limited basis to local contractors and developers for the purpose of holding and/or developing residential building sites and homes when market conditions warrant such activity. Land acquisition loans are secured by a first lien on the property and are generally limited to 65% of the acquisition price or the appraised value, whichever is less. Development land loans are generally limited to 75% of the discounted appraised value based on the projected lot sale absorption rate and associated carry and liquidation costs of the developed lots and homes. Underwriting criteria for acquisition and development loans include but are not limited to, evidence of preliminary plat approval, and a review of compliance with state and Federal environmental protection and disclosure laws, engineering plans, detailed cost breakdowns and marketing plans. Other risk management tools include acquisition of title insurance and review of feasibility and market absorption reports. These loans have been limited to projects within the North Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound region.

The success of land acquisition, development and construction lending is largely dependent upon successful completion of the project and future sales or leasing of the property for repayment of the loan. Because of the uncertainties inherent in the estimates related to construction costs, the market value of the completed project, the demand for the property at completion, the rates of interest paid, and other factors that may affect the ability to complete the project or affect the value of the completed project, actual results may vary significantly from those estimated and can have a significant adverse impact on the value and marketability of the collateral for these types of loans.

At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, the average construction commitment for single familysingle-family residential construction was $384,000,$549,000, for multi-family construction was $3.3$3.7 million and for commercial real estate construction was $2.2$1.4 million. The largest construction commitments for multi-family and commercial real estate were $10.2$9.4 million and $8.9$6.0 million, respectively, at June 30, 2017.December 31, 2019.

Substantially all of our land acquisition, development and construction lending have adjustable rates of interest based on The Wall Street Journal prime rate. During the term of construction, the accumulated interest on the loan is either added to the principal of the loan through an interest reserve or billed monthly, as is the case for acquisition and development loans. When original interest reserves set up at origination are exhausted, no additional reserves are permitted unless the loan is re-analyzed and it is determined that the additional reserves are appropriate.

The success of land acquisition, development and construction lending is dependent upon successful completion of the project and the sale or leasing of the property for repayment of the loan. Because of the uncertainties inherent in the estimates related to construction costs, the market value of the completed project, the demand for the property at completion, market conditions, the rates of interest paid, and other factors, actual results are difficult to predict and variations from expectations can have a significant adverse effect on a borrower's ability to repay loans and the value and marketability of the underlying collateral. In addition, because an incomplete construction project is difficult to sell in the event of default, on an incomplete construction project, and because properties under construction are difficult to sell, we may be required to advance additional funds and/or contract with another builder in order to complete construction and assume the marketconstruction. There is a risk of selling the project at a future market price, at which timethat we may or may not fully recover unpaid loan funds and associated construction and liquidation costs. Furthermore, in the case of speculativecosts under these circumstances. Speculative construction loans there is the addedcarry additional risk associated with identifying an end-purchaser for the finished project.

We also originate individual lot loans, which are secured by a first lien on the property, for borrowers who are planning to build on the lot within the next five years. Generally, these loans have a maximum loan to value ratio of 75% for improved lands (legal access, water and power) and 50% to 65% for unimproved land. The interest rate on these loans is fixed with a 20-year amortization and a five-year term. At June 30, 2017, individual lot loans totaled $22.3 million or 3.0% of the total loan portfolio.

Our construction and land loans are geographically disbursed throughout the state of Washington and, as a result, these loans are susceptible to risks that may be different depending on the location of the project. We manage all of our construction lending by utilizing a licensed third partythird-party vendor to assist us in monitoring our construction projects, with construction loan proceeds disbursed periodically as construction progresses and as inspections by our approved third party vendor warrant.during 2019, we began also utilizing internal staffing to monitor certain projects, which we expect will enhance fee income related to these loans.

Consumer Lending. We offer a variety of consumer loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit, new and used automobile loans, loans on other miscellaneous vehicles, including recreational vehicles, travel trailers and motorcycles, and personal lines of credit. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, home equity loans and lines of credit totaled $35.9$35.0 million, or 4.9%4.0% of the loan portfolio. Our interest rates on home equity loans are priced for risk price adjusted based on credit score, loan to value and overall credit qualitycapacity of the applicant. Home equity loans are made for among other purposes, the improvement of residential properties and other consumer needs. Some of these loans are secured by first liens; however, the majority of these loans are secured by a second deed of trust on the residential property. Fixed-rate, fully-amortizing home equity loans in first lien position are available up to a maximum loan amount of $750,000 with repayment periods ranging from five5 to 20 years. We also offer a home equity line of credit product, which has a five year, interest-only term with the remaining balance at the end of the term amortized over a period of 15 years, up to a maximum of $250,000 if in first lien position. Home equity fixed and line of credit products in second lien positions have a maximum loan amount of $75,000. We also offer, to borrowers who qualify, a five-year home equity line of credit with a discounted initial fixed interest rate for the first year with the interest rate adjusting annuallymonthly thereafter based on a margin over the prime rate; payments are interest-only for the first year. The balance and rate are fixed after five years and the principal amortized over the remaining fifteen year period of the loan.loan up to a maximum of $750,000 if in first lien position. Home equity fixed and line of credit products in second lien positions behind a First Federal mortgage have a maximum loan amount of $250,000. Home equity loans and lines of credit have greater risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans because they are secured by mortgages subordinated to the existing first mortgage on the property, which weproperty. We may or may not have private mortgage insurance coverage.

We offer several options for vehicleoriginate, refinance, or purchase or refinanceauto loans with a maximum term of up to 84144 months depending on the age and condition of the vehicle.vehicle and strength of the borrower. Loan rates for auto lending, as well as all other consumer loans, are priced based on the specific loan type and the risk involved. Direct and indirect lending sources are used to originate auto loans.


At December 31, 2019, auto loans totaled $106.4 million, of which $70.5 million were purchased and $32.3 million were originated through indirect dealer programs, as described below. Our balance of auto loans grew by $66.7 million since December 31, 2018.

Indirect auto loans are originated with auto dealerships located throughout our market areas through a third party service provider that also facilitates a portion of the underwriting and origination of these loans based on our

underwriting and pricing criteria. We originated indirect auto loans directly through localAt December 31, 2019, there were 39 auto dealerships prior to the implementation of theparticipating in our indirect lending program. As of June 30, 2017, we worked with 21 auto dealerships. Working with strong dealerships within our market areas provides us with the opportunity to actively deepen customer relationships through cross-selling opportunities. At June 30, 2017, auto loans totaled $17.5 million, of which $14.0 million were originated through dealer programs. Indirect auto financeloan customers receive a fixed rate loan in an amount and at an interest rate that is commensurate tobased on review of their FICO credit score, age of the vehicle, and loan term, and subject to our auto loan underwriting procedures.term. Our underwriting and pricing criteria for indirect auto loans focuses primarily on the ability of the borrower to repay the loan rather than the value of the underlying collateral with parameters limiting the loancollateral. Loans may be made up to the full sales price of the vehicle plus "Additional Vehicle Costs," such as sales tax, dealer preparation fees, license fees and title fees, plus the cost of service and warranty contracts, and "GAP" insurance coverage obtained in connection with purchase of the vehicle or the financing (such amounts in addition to the sales price, collectively the "Additional Vehicle Costs").vehicle. Accordingly, the amount financed by us generally may exceed depending on the credit score and applicant’s profile, in the case of new vehicles, the manufacturer's suggested retail price of the financed vehicle, and the Additional Vehicle Costs. Inor in the case of used vehicles if the applicant meets our creditworthiness criteria, the amount financed may exceed the vehicle's value as assigned by the Kelly Blue Book, our primary reference source of used cars, and the Additional Vehicle Costs. In January 2017, a "final LTV" was implemented, effectively putting a cap onlimiting the loan to value ratio to 100% of the full sales price andplus Additional Vehicle Costs. The loan term is averaging 68on indirect auto loans averages 70 months, which is comparable to national auto industry data.

We purchase auto loans through a partnership with a loan originator that operates in all 50 states, underwriting and funding loans for classic (25 years or older) and collector (premium price with limited production) vehicles. These loans range from $10,000 to over $250,000 with terms that range from 84 to 144 months and require down payments of 10% to 20%. We receive loan pools each week with complete packages that we are able to underwrite to determine whether to purchase or pass on all loans submitted. These loans present unique risks with the collateral being located across the country; however, our loan originator helps mitigate risk of loss by facilitating collection efforts should repossession become necessary, for which we would incur a cost. Historically, losses on these types of loans is less than 1% and First Federal has incurred no losses since implementation of this program in 2018.

Because our primary focus for indirect auto loans is on the credit quality of the customer rather than the value of the collateral, the collectability of an indirect auto loan is more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances than a single-family first mortgage loan. We rely on the borrower's continuing financial stability, rather than on the value of the vehicle, for the repayment of an indirect auto loan.repayment.

Consumer loans represent additional and unique underwriting risks because of the mobility and rapidly depreciating nature of consumer assets such as automobiles, RVs, boats and trailers in contrast to real estate based collateral. If a borrower defaults, repossession and liquidation of the collateral may not provide sufficient sales proceeds to satisfy the outstanding loan balance. ManyOther factors that may account for potential loan losses on consumer loans a number of which are largely outside the control of the lender and include deferred maintenance damages, depreciation and borrowers who relocate to other states.damages. While subsequent legal actions and judgments against defaulted borrowers in default may be appropriate, such collection efforts and costs may not always be warranted and are evaluated after determining the cost of such collection efforts and the probability of any future loan recovery. In addition, consumeron a case by case basis. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability and are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, which may limit the amount that can be recovered on these loans.

Commercial Business Lending. As of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, commercial business loans totaled $17.1$41.6 million, or 2.3%,4.7% of our loan portfolio. TheseIncluded in commercial business loans are primarily originatedwas $22.9 million in loans through the Northpointe Bank Mortgage Participation Program ("Northpointe MPP"), which provides interim financing to mortgage originators based on the contractual sale agreement of a mortgage loan. The Northpointe MPP interim loan is funded upon receipt of a valid contractual sale agreement and repaid to us when the cash settlement for that loan occurs and the mortgage originator has been paid, generally within 30 days. Management selects which mortgage originators to finance based on a review of their business, loan pricing, and origination volumes. At our discretion, we may add or remove mortgage originators from time to time. We also have limited our balance of loans made through the Northpointe MPP to $25.0 million at December 31, 2019. The actual balance in the Northpointe MPP can fluctuate significantly due to variances in the timing of funding and repayments, as well as the program's dependence on the ability to maintain mortgage origination volumes, which has resulted in lower average balances. Management increased the maximum balance of loans through Northpointe MPP from $25.0 to $35.0 million during the first quarter of 2020.

The remaining balance of commercial business borrowers, which includeloans includes lines of credit, term loans, and letters of credit. These loans are typically secured by business assets and arecredit used for general business purposes, including seasonal and permanent working capital, equipment financing, capital, and general investments. In general,These loans are typically secured by business assets, and loan terms vary from one to seven years with floating rates indexed to LIBOR,similar FHLB advance rates, The Wall Street Journal prime rate, LIBOR or other acceptable indices depending on prevailing economic and market conditions. A typical requirement for us to extend business credit is for the borrower to have a business deposit relationship with us which, in most cases, includes multiple accounts and related services from which we realize low cost deposits plus service and ancillary fee income.

Commercial businessindices. These loans typically have shorter maturity terms and higher interest spreads than real estate loans but generally involve more credit risk because of the type and nature of the collateral. Our commercial business lending underwriting includes an analysis of the borrower’s financial condition, past, present and future cash flows, and the collateral pledged as security. We are focusinggenerally obtain personal guarantees on our effortscommercial business loans. We focus

Commercial business lending policy includes credit file documentation and analysisloans are originated based on the cash flow of the borrower’s background, capacity to repay the loans and the adequacy of the borrower’s capital, as well as an evaluation of other conditions affecting the borrower. Analysis of the borrower’s past, present and future cash flows, as well as the collateral pledged as security is also an important aspect of our credit analysis. We generally obtain personal guarantees on our commercial business loans.



Primary repayment of our commercial loans is often dependent on cash flows of the borrower,borrowing entity, which may be unpredictable due to normal business cycles, industry changes, and economic and political conditions. Furthermore,Secondary and tertiary sources of repayment are guarantor cash flows and collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value based on market conditions or other factors. Ourliquidation. Most often, collateral for commercial business loans are originated based on the global cash flow of the borrowing entity and any guarantors. The secondary source of repayment may be liquidation of the underlying collateral and/or assets pledged by the borrower and guarantors. Most often, this collateral consists of real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, or equipment. Secondary sources of repayment and/or recovery for most of these loans are basedCollateral may fluctuate in value, which can reduce liquidation proceeds, and our ability to collect on the liquidation of the pledged collateral, and may include enforcement of personal guaranties. Secondary underwriting and collection efforts may include accounts receivable or other third party payments whereby availabilitycan affect the amount of funds for repaymentlosses we incur in the event of thesedefault. Similar to commercial and multi-family real estate loans, may be substantially dependent on the abilitycommercial business relationships of $1.5 million or greater are subject to a formal review of the borrower or a third party to collect amounts due from its customers.

Washington law provides that Washington chartered savings banks, such as First Federal, are subject to the samefor loans to one borrower restrictions, as Washington chartered commercial banks, which restricts total loans and extensions of credit by a bank to 20% of its unimpaired capital and surplus.

Loan Originations, Servicing, Purchases and Sales.Sales. We originate mortgage, consumer, multi-family and commercial real estate, and commercial business loans for our portfolio utilizing fixed- and adjustable-rate loan products.terms. We also purchase whole and participation loans on a servicing retained or released basis, including loans that may be located outside our primary market areas. Our ability to originate sufficient loan volume to meet our asset and liability management objectives is limited within our historical market as a result of consumer demand, population demographics, and economic conditions. We, like many other financial institutions, may experience significant prepayments on loans due to prevailing economic conditions and low interest rates. In periods of economic uncertainty, the ability of financial institutions, including us, to originate real estate loans is substantially reduced, which results in a decrease in interest income.basis. During the years ended June 30,December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the six month transition period ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, our total originations were $221.9$199.8 million, $217.0$253.4 million, and $105.0$174.4 million, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the six month transition period ended December 31, 2017, we purchased $68.0 million, $70.4 million, and $43.9 million of loans, respectively. During the last year, the majority of loan pool purchases consisted of auto loans purchased through our partnership with an originator specializing in classic and collector vehicles. A secondary source of purchased loans were commercial real estate loans and participations, whereby we receive a portion of a loan originated by another lender who retains the servicing and customer relationship and may, depending on the terms of the agreement, retain a portion of the interest as a servicing fee. Loan pools purchased prior to 2018 consisted mainly of loans exceeding conforming loan limits, or "jumbo loans," secured by single family residential properties located in the states of Washington and California. Purchased loans, loan pools, and participations are underwritten by our credit administration department and approved by the appropriate loan committee(s) prior to purchase, according to our lending authority guidelines.

The North Olympic Peninsula region, which representsincludes a substantial concentration of our depositors and borrowers, has experienced limited population growth, and the region's unemployment rate is higher than both the state and national unemployment rates. As a result, weit has been part of our strategy to originate and purchase loans outside of these areas in the counties surrounding the Puget Sound and elsewhere, andelsewhere. As part of that, we may purchase loans with different credit and underwriting criteria than those we originate organically.

During the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 we purchased $44.0 million, $59.2 million and $26.1 million of loans, respectively. Loan pools purchased in the past three years consisted primarily of loans exceeding conforming loan limits, or "jumbo loans," secured by single family residential properties located in the states of Washington and California. We have also participated with other lenders on commercial real estate loans located in Washington, whereby we receive a portion of a loan originated by another lender who retains the servicing and customer relationship of the loan and may, depending on the terms of the agreement, retain a portion of the interest as a servicing fee. Purchased loans, loan pools, and participations are underwritten by our credit administration department, evaluated for credit risk, and approved by the appropriate loan committee(s) prior to purchase, according to our lending authority guidelines.

We actively sell residential first mortgage loans in the secondary market, and we currently service all loans sold but have, in the past, also sold loans with the servicing released.market. The majority of all residential mortgages we originate are fixed-rate, mortgages, which we may sell to the secondary market at the time of origination to improvemanage our interest rate risk or selectively add to our loan portfolio in an effort to enhance our net interestand improve noninterest income. During the years ended June 30,December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the six month transition period ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, we sold $23.3$58.0 million, $7.8$25.7 million, and $22.5$17.4 million of residential mortgage loans, respectively. Our secondary market relationship for residential loans is primarily with Freddie Mac and other select third-party purchasers, which provides us greater flexibility in choosing the best pricing, whether we receiveare selling on a servicing fee on loans sold when the servicing is retained by us. Loans in general are sold on a non-recourse basis, whenever possible, subject to a provision for repurchase upon breach of representation, warranty or covenant. Sales of real estate loans through secondary market conduits can be beneficial to us since these sales

generate income at the time of sale, produce future servicing income, provide funds for additional lending, and assist us in managing our interest rate risk.released basis.

At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, we were servicing $176.3$159.7 million of loans for others, consisting primarily of residential mortgage loans for Freddie Mac and other secondary market purchasers.others. We earned mortgage servicing income of$464,000, $502,000, and $561,000of $424,000 for the yearsyear ended June 30, 2017, 2016December 31, 2019, $454,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018, and 2015, respectively, and mortgage$228,000 for the six month transition period ended December 31, 2017. Mortgage servicing rights for these loans had a fair value of $1.5 million at June 30, 2017, ofDecember 31, 2019. See $1.6 million. See Note 67 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K.

In general, loans are sold on a non-recourse basis to third-party purchasers, subject to a provision for repurchase in the event of a breach of representation, warranty or covenant made at the time of sale. During fiscal 2008, we sold loans with “life of the loan” recourse provisions to Freddie Mac, requiring us to repurchase the loan if it defaults. Additionally,and beginning in May 2013, Freddie Mac has required loans guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture to be sold with "life of the loan" recourse provisions.provisions as well. These recourse provisions require us to repurchase the loan upon default. The balance of loans serviced for others with life of the loan recourse provisions was $6.5$5.0 million at June 30, 2017. One loan wasDecember 31, 2019. There were no loans repurchased during the yearyears ended June 30, 2017 for $100,000, two loans were repurchased duringDecember 31, 2019, December 31, 2018, or the yearsix month transition period ended June 30, 2016 for $151,000 and two loans were was repurchased during the year ended June 30, 2015 for $335,000.December 31, 2017.

Periodically, weWe may solicit one or more financial institutions to take a portion of a commercial real estate loan in order to manage risk or generate income through gain on sale or servicing fees. In that was originated by us. Thecase, a participation agreement outlines the indirect relationship between the Bank and the participant with regard to borrower access, loan

servicing, loan documents, etc.documentation, and other matters. The participant ends up having an indirect relationship with the borrower through the Bank; essentially becoming a “silent partner” in the transaction. The participant's transactional involvement is typically limited, to only that provided by the Bank as “agent” in the transaction, and the participation interest is generally sold without recourse. We may participateretain a portion of a commercial loan to manage our loan concentrations to one industry, loan type, geography, or borrower. We maintain greater than 50 percent ownership interest in the loan and retain theloan servicing of loans we participate with othersrights in order to maintain our direct relationship with the borrower and better manage our credit risk. We generally receive servicing income forDuring the participated portion of the loan. In 2016,year ended December 31, 2019, we sold $1.5$650,000 in commercial real estate construction loan participations, and during the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold $3.9 million in commercial real estate loan participations. No commercial loan participations were sold in 2017.
We may also, from time to time, identify whole commercial real estate loans for sale, including the sale of the servicing of those loans, in order to manage concentrations as well as increase noninterest income through gains on sale. In 2017, the Company sold $10.4 million in commercial real estate loans.

Gains, losses and transfer fees on sales of one- to four-family and commercial real estate loans are recognized at the time of the sale. Our net gain on salessale of residential and commercial real estate loans was $757,000, $234,000$1.1 million, $577,000 and $548,000$499,000 for the yearsyear ended June 30,December 31, 2019, the year ended December 31, 2018, and the six month transition period ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Loan Origination and Other Fees.Fees. Loan origination fees paid by borrowers generally representare based on a percentage of the principal amount of the loan that is paid by the borrower.loan. Accounting standards require that certain fees received, net of certain origination costs, be deferred and amortized over the contractual life of the loan. Net deferred fees or costs associated with loans that are prepaid or sold are recognized as income or expense at the time of prepayment.prepayment or sale. We had $904,000, $1.2 million$206,000, $292,000 and $840,000$724,000 of net deferred loan fees at June 30,December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, we receive fees for loan commitments, late payments and miscellaneous services.

Asset Quality

Management of asset quality is accomplished by internal controls,includes loan performance monitoring and reporting as well as utilization of key risk indicators, and both internal and independent third party loan reviews. The primary objective of our loan review process is to measure borrower performance and assess risk for the purpose of identifying loan weakness in order to minimize loan loss exposure. From the time of loan origination through final repayment, all loans are assigned a risk rating based on pre-determined criteria and levels of risk.criteria. The risk rating is monitored annually for most loans and may change during the life of the loan as appropriate.


Internal and independent third party loanLoan reviews vary by loan type as well as the nature and complexity of the loan.complexity. Some loans may warrant detailed individual review, while other loans may have less risk based upon size, or be of a homogeneous nature, reducing the need for detailed individual analysis. Assets with these characteristics, such as consumer loans and loans secured by residential real estate,estate. Homogeneous loans may be reviewed based on the basis of risk indicators such as delinquency or credit rating. In cases of significant concern, re-evaluation of the loan and associated risks are documented by completing a loan risk assessment and action plan. Some loans may be re-evaluated in terms of their fair market value or net realizable value in order to determine the likelihood of potential loss exposure and, consequently, the adequacy of specific and general loan loss reserves.

We generally assess late fees or penalty charges on delinquent loans of five percent of the monthly payment amount due. Substantially all first lien residential fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loan payments are due on the first day of the month with a 15-day grace period following the due date, after which time we institute collection procedures including a mailed first notice of delinquency and late charge and efforts to contact the borrower by telephone. Attempts to contact the borrower to establish a cause of the default and assess the borrower's willingness and ability to repay the debt continue until the 90th day, after which time if we have not been able to reach a mutually satisfactory arrangement for curing the default with the borrower, we will pursue all permissible remedies according to the terms of the security instruments and applicable law. In the event of an unsecured loan, we will either seek legal action against the borrower or refer the loan to an outside collection agency.

For the yearsyear ended June 30,December 31, 2019 the year ended December 31, 2018 and the six month period ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, gross interest income which would have been recorded had the nonaccruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $261,000$301,000, $279,000 and $306,000,$277,000, respectively. The amount that was included in interest income on a cash basis on nonaccruing loans was $13,000, $75,000$50,000, $99,000 and $178,000$12,000 for the yearsyear ended June 30,December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and the six month period ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

Other Loans of Concern. In addition to the nonperforming assets set forth in the table above, as of June 30, 2017December 31, 2019, there were 5764 loans totaling $10.7$1.7 million that continue to accrue interest but for which management has elevated concerns about possible credit problems of borrowers that caused management to have serious doubts regarding the ability of these borrowers to comply with their loan repayment terms and that may result in disclosure of such loans as nonperforming in the future.terms. These loans have been considered in management's determination of our allowance for loan losses.


Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Property.Property. Real estate we acquire as a result of foreclosure, deed in lieu, or non-merger deed in lieu of foreclosurecollection efforts is classified as real estate owned until it is sold. When the property is acquired,

it isowned. These properties are recorded at the lower of its cost, which is the unpaid principal balance of the related loan, or the fair market value of the property less selling costs. Other repossessed collateral,property, including automobiles, are also recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value.value less selling costs. As of June 30, 2017, First FederalDecember 31, 2019, we had one single family property located in Washington State in real estate owned with a book value of $86,000$62,000 and one autoeleven autos in repossessed personal property owned with a book value of $18,000.$92,000. Real estate owned properties are generally listed with a real estate broker, for sale, included in the multiple listing service, and actively marketed.


Restructured Loans. According to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), we are required to account for certain loan modifications or restructurings as a TDR. In general, the modification or restructuring of a debt is considered a TDR if we, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grant a concession to the borrower under more favorable terms and conditions than we would grant to an ordinary bank customer under athe normal course of business standard.business.

GeneralWe engage in other general loan restructures and modifications not considered as TDR loans, which may include lowering interest rates, extending the maturity date, deferring or re-amortizing monthly payments or other concessions. These general loan restructures and modifications are made on a case-by-case basisconcessions, provided that such concessions are not below market rates noror considered material and outside of the terms and conditions granted to other borrowers under normalin the ordinary course of business standards.business. These general loan restructures and modifications are made on a case-by-case basis.

Adversely classified loans which are subsequently modified and placed in nonaccrual status must remain in nonaccrualare generally not returned to accrual status foruntil a period of not less thanat least six months with consecutive satisfactory payment performance has occurred, and bea return to accrual status is further supported by current financial information and analysis which demonstrates the borrowers havea particular borrower has the financial capacity to meet future debt service before being returned to accrual status.requirements.

As of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, we had 47 loans with an aggregate principal balance of $6.1$3.5 million which we havethat were identified as TDR loans, of which $5.5 millionall but $81,000 were performing in accordance with their revised payment terms and on accrual status. As of June 30, 2017, there were $673,000 of TDR loans on nonaccrual and whose accrual status continues to be evaluated by management. Included in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 was a reserve of $315,000$41,000 related to TDR loans. Nonaccruing TDR loans are classified as substandard andwhile accruing TDR loans may be classified at any level in our loan grading system depending upon verified repayment sources, collateral values and repayment history.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets as substandard, doubtful or loss. An asset is considered substandard when material conditions are identified which raise issues about the financial capacity, collateral or other conditions which may compromise the borrower’s promise and ability to satisfactorily perform under the terms of the loan. Substandard assets considered impaired include those characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make near term collection or liquidation highly questionable and improbable. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible andor of such little value that their continuance as assets with the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.no material value. Assets that do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but possess identified weaknesses are classified by us as either watch or special mention assets.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310 and ASC 450, when we classify problem assets as substandard, doubtful, and loss, we may review the borrower and collateral to establish a specific loan loss allowance in an amount we deem prudent. Our credit administration department, management, and the boardBoard of directorsDirectors review the analysis and approve the specific loan loss allowance for these loans.

General reserve loan loss allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances on impaired loans, have not been specifically allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution identifies a problem asset as an unavoidable and imminent loss, it is required to partially or fully charge-off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our valuation allowances is subject to review by the DFI and the FDIC, who can order specific charge-offs or the establishment of additional loan loss allowances.


We review, at least quarterly, the problem assets in our portfolio to determine whether any assets require reclassification. On the basis ofBased on our review, as of June 30,December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, 2016 and 2015, we had classified loans of $3.3$5.0 million, $4.6$3.4 million, and $9.9$6.7 million, respectively. We had no other classified assets at these dates. In addition, at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 we had $9.3$5.1 million of special mention loans. At June 30, 2017, classified assets represented 1.8% of equity capital and

0.3% of assets. The decrease in classified assets during the year ended June 30, 2017 was mainly attributable to the borrowers' improved financial condition as well as their ability to sell the underlying collateral securing these loans and repay our loan with the sales proceeds.

Classified loans, consisting solely of substandard loans, were as follows at the dates indicated:

Allowance for Loan Losses.Losses Management recognizes that loan losses may occur over the life of a loan and the. The allowance for loan losses must be maintainedwas $9.6 million, or 1.1% of total loans, at December 31, 2019, compared to $9.5 million, or 1.1%, at December 31, 2018. On a level necessary to absorb specific losses on impaired loans and probable losses inherent in the total loan portfolio. Monthly, our chief credit officermonthly basis, management prepares a report of the allowance for loan losses and establishes the provision for credit losses based on its analysis of the risk composition of our loan portfolio, delinquency levels, loss experience, economic conditions, regulatory examination results, seasoning of the loan portfolios, and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. This allowance

Quantitative analysis is necessary to calculate accounting estimates for loan losses report is reviewed monthly by our Asset Quality Committee consisting of the chief credit officer, chief banking officer, chief financial officerloss reserves, and chief executive officer. Thewe also recognize that qualitative factors which have an impact on the allowance forsuch as economic, market, industry and political changes can adversely affect loan losses,quality. These qualitative factors are updated and approved by management on a quarterly basis. Quarterly,Each quarter, a report on the allowance for loan losses, is calculated usingincluding the adjustedapplication and discussion of quantitative and qualitative factors as approved by management,established during the quarter, is reviewed by the boardBoard of director's boardDirector's loan/asset quality committee and presented for approval to the full board of directors.Board. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is charged against current period operating results, and decreased by the amount of actual loan charge-offs, net of recoveries, and improvements in asset quality.

We believe that quantitative analysis is necessary to calculate accounting estimates for loan loss reserves; however, we also recognize that qualitative factors such as economic, market, industry and political changes can adversely affect loan quality. Unpredictable personal events or other undisclosed information by individual borrowers can occur at any time, which can result in immediate significant changes in the probability of losses in the loan portfolio. The impact of such events can quickly deplete the allowance and potentially require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which could negatively affect current and future earnings.

Our methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of two components: general and specific allowances. The formula for the general loan loss reserve allowance is determined by applying an estimated quantified loss percentage, as well as qualitative factors, to various groups of loans. TheWe use a three year loss history including loss percentages are generally based on various historical measures such as the amount and type of classified loans, past due ratios, loss experience, and economic conditions, which could affect the collectability of the respective loan types. Qualitative factors and adjustments to the loan loss reserve calculations are largely subjective but also include objective variables such as unemployment rates, falling or rising real estate values, real estate and retail sales, demographics and other known material economic indicators. A general allowance is then established, based upon the analysis of the above conditions, representing loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with the entire loan portfolio. A specific allowance is established when management believes thea borrower’s financial and/or collateral condition has materially deteriorated to a point of impairment, and loss is highly probable for that specific loan.

The allowance for loan losses was $8.5 million, or 1.2% of total loans, at June 30, 2017, compared to $7.2 million, or 1.2% at June 30, 2016. Fluctuations in the allowance for loan losses are the result of changes in asset quality reflected in our delinquent, nonperforming, and classified loans and amount of loan charge-offs, together with our recognition of qualitative factors and changes in the balance and mix of loans in the portfolio.First Federal uses a three year loss history as part of its allowance for loan losses methodology, and management continually monitors local, regional, and national economic trends.

We define a loan as being impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable we will be unable to collect amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, are grouped together for impairment analysis and reserve calculation. All other loans are evaluated for impairment on an individual basis. In the process of identifying loans as impaired, management takes into consideration factors which include payment history, collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments in the future. Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically do not result in a loan being classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and shortfalls is considered by management on a case-by-case basis, after taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loans and borrowers, including payment history and amounts of any payment shortfall, length and reason for delay, and likelihood of return to stable performance. As of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, we had impaired loans of $7.4$6.4 million, compared to $9.1$6.6 million at June 30, 2016.December 31, 2018.

In determining specific reserves for those loans evaluated for impairment on an individual basis, management utilizes the valuation shown in the most recent appraisal of the collateral and may make adjustments toadjust that valuation as additional information becomes available. AppraisalsGenerally, appraisals or evaluations may beare updated subsequent to the time of origination, whenever management identifies a loan as impaired or potentially being impaired. Events which may trigger an updated appraisal or evaluation include, but are not limited to, borrower delinquency, material

technical defaults, annual review of borrower’s financial condition, property tax and/or assessment delinquency, deferred maintenance or other information known or discovered by us.

Impaired collateral dependent loans require a current appraisalvaluation and analysis to determine the net value of the collateral for loan loss reserve purposes. Our policy is to update these appraisalsvalues every 12 months as long asif the loan and collateral remains impaired, except for smaller balance, homogeneous loans, which are applied a reserve according to their risk weighting and loan class. Certain types of collateral, depending on market conditions, may require more frequent appraisals, updates or evaluations. When the results of the impairment analysis indicate a potential loss, the loan is classified as substandard and is analyzed to determine if a specific reserve amount is to be established or adjusted to reflect any further deterioration in the value of the collateral that may occur prior to liquidation or reinstatement. The impairment analysis takes into consideration the primary, secondary, and tertiary sources of repayment and whether impairment is likely to be temporary in nature or liquidation is anticipated.


Management believes that our allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019 was adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in the loan portfolio at that date. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provision that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgmentevaluation of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Investment Activities

General. General. Under Washington law, savings banks are permitted, subject to certain limitations, to invest in various types of liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, banker’s acceptances, repurchase agreements, federal funds, commercial paper, investment grade corporate debt, and obligations of states and their political subdivisions.

Our chief financial officerChief Financial Officer has the basic responsibility for the management of our investment portfolio, in consultation with our chief executive officer, and the direction and guidance of the board of directors.portfolio. Various factors are considered when making investment decisions, including the marketability, maturity and tax consequences of the proposed investment. The maturity structure of investments will be affected by various market conditions, including the current and anticipated slope of the yield curve, the level of interest rates, the trend of deposit inflows, and the anticipated demand for funds from deposit withdrawals and loan originations and purchases.

The general objective of our investment portfolio is to provide sufficient liquidity, to fund lending when loan demand is high, to assist in maintainingmaintain earnings, when loan demand is low, and to maximize earnings while satisfactorily managingmanage risk, including credit, risk, reinvestment, risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

Securities. Total investment securities decreased $43.4increased $9.1 million, or 13.4%3.0%, to $280.5$315.6 million at June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, from $323.9$306.5 million at June 30, 2016,December 31, 2018, mainly as we continued to use cash flows from sales, calls, and normal amortization and prepayment activitya result of investment securities to fund loan growth. At June 30, 2017, U.S. government agency issued mortgage-backed securities ("MBS agency") still comprised the largest portion of our investment portfolio at 64.4%, followed by municipal bonds at 13.0%, corporate issued mortgage-backed securities ("MBS corporate") at 9.4%, U.S. Small Business Administration securities ("SBA") at 5.2%, corporate issued asset-backed securities ("ABS corporate") at 3.5%, U.S. government agency issued asset-backed securities ("ABS agency") at 2.7%, and U.S. Treasury and government agency issued bonds ("Agency bonds") at 1.8%. ABS corporate securities also comprised the largest change in the investment portfolio, decreasing $19.6 million during the year, followed by decreases in MBS corporate securities of $14.8 million and Agency bonds of $10.1 million,purchases partially offset by an increase in SBA securities of $4.6 million. The estimated average life of the total investment securities portfolio was 4.7 years at June 30, 2017sales and 4.2 years at June 30, 2016.principal payments.

The issuers of MBSmortgage-backed agency securities ("MBS") held in our portfolio, which include Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), and certain issuers of agency bonds held in our portfolio, which include the U.S. Treasury, FHLB, and Fannie Mae, as well asand the U.S. Small Business Administration, guarantee the timely principal and interest payments in the event of default. ABSAsset-backed security ("ABS") agency bonds held in our portfolio also include securities issued by Sallie Mae Student Loan Trust and CIT Education Loan Trust, which are backed by student loans in a subordinate tranche where payment is not guaranteed by the issuer. The underlying student loans are reinsured by the U.S. Department of Education, which mitigates a significant portion of their risk of loss. Municipal bonds consist of a mix of taxable and non-taxable revenue and general obligation bonds issued by various local and state government entities that use their revenue-generating and taxing authority as a source of repayment of their debt. The state of the issuers of our municipal bonds, in which we hold more than 10% of our municipal bond portfolio at June 30, 2017, include Washington at 25.7%, New York at 15.0%, Florida at 13.8%, Michigan at 12.0%, and Texas at 10.3%. Our municipal bonds are considered investment grade, and we monitor their credit quality on an ongoing basis.

ABS and MBS corporate securities have no guarantees in the event of default and therefore warrant continued monitoring for credit quality. Our MBS corporate securities consist of fixed and variable rate mortgages issued by various corporations, and our ABS corporate securities consist of a mix of variable rate collateralized loan obligations in managed funds, which we believe have sufficient subordination to mitigate the risk of loss on these investments.investments, and certain corporate debt securities. Monitoring of these securities may include, but is not limited to, reviewing credit quality standards such as delinquency, subordination, and credit ratings. Our corporate securities are considered investment grade.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Bank marked all of its held to maturity investments as available for sale in order to provide greater flexibility to manage changes in the investment portfolio. Management does not intend to place securities into a held-to-maturity portfolio in the foreseeable future.

As a member of the FHLB, we had an average balance of $4.5$5.7 million in stock of the FHLB for the yeartwelve months ended June 30, 2017.December 31, 2019. We received $126,000, $104,000,$332,000, $311,000, and $12,000$81,000 in dividends from the FHLB during the yearsyear ended June 30,December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the six month transition period ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds

General.General. Deposits, borrowings and loan and investment repayments and sales are the major sources of our funds for lending and other investment purposes. Scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are influenced significantly by general interest rates and other market conditions. Borrowings from the FHLB are used to supplement the availability of funds from other sources and also as a source of term funds to assist in the management of interest rate risk.

The Federal Reserve requires First Federal to maintain reserves on transaction accounts or non-personal time deposits. These reserves may be in the form of cash or noninterest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts and other types of accounts that permit payments or transfers to third parties fall within the definition of transaction accounts and are subject to the reserve requirements, as are any non-personal time deposits at a savings bank. As of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, our deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and vault cash exceeded our reserve requirements.



Borrowings. Although customer deposits are the primary source of funds for our lending and investment activities, we have usedWe use advances from the FHLB, including short-term overnight to less than one year advances and longer term advances maturing in one year or more, to supplement our supply of lendable funds, to meet short-term deposit withdrawal requirements,liquidity needs, and to provide longer-term funding to better match the duration of selected loan and investment maturities.    mitigate interest rate risk.
Depending upon the retail banking activity and the availability of excess post-conversion capital that may be provided to us, we will consider and may undertake additional leverage strategies within applicable regulatory requirements or restrictions. These borrowings would be expected to primarily consist of FHLB advances.

As a member of the FHLB, we are required to own capital stock in the FHLB and are authorized to apply for advances on the security of that stock and certain of ourpledged assets including mortgage loans and other assets (principally securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. Government) provided certain creditworthiness standards have been met.investment securities. Advances are individually made under various terms pursuant to several different credit programs, each with its own interest rate and range of maturities. Depending on the program, limitations on the amount of advances are based on the financial condition of the member institution and the adequacy of collateral pledged to secure the credit. We maintain a committed credit facility with the FHLB, and at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 had pledged loan and security collateral to support a borrowing capacity of $247.4$356.2 million. At that date outstanding advances from the FHLB totaled $77.4$112.9 million leaving a remaining borrowing capacity of $170.0$243.2 million.

In general, the primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending, including our indirect auto lending. Commercial business competition is primarily from commercial banks, somerate adjustment provisions, loan maturities, loan fees, and the quality of which have a nationwide presence.service. We offer competitive terms and conditions and compete by delivering high-quality, personal service to our customers that resultcustomers. Competition for loans is also strong due to the number and variety of institutions competing in a high level of customer satisfaction.our market areas. For instance, competition for loans is particularly intense in the larger markets in the Puget Sound area, such as Seattle, Washington.

We attract our deposits through our branch office system. Competition for those deposits is primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, and credit unions, located in the same community, as well as mutual funds, and other alternative investments.investment vehicles such as securities firms, insurance companies, etc., which may be offered locally or via the Internet. We expect continued competition from such financial institutions and investment vehicles in the foreseeable future, including competition from on-line Internet banking competitors and "Fintech" companies that rely on technology to provide financial services. We compete for these deposits by offering excellent service and a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates.rates and through our branch network. We also compete for deposits by offering a variety of financial services, including web-based and mobile banking capabilities. Based on the most recent branch data provided by the FDIC, as of June 30, 2016,2019, First Federal’s share of bank, savings bank and savings and loan association deposits in Clallam and Jefferson counties was 36.6%35.1% and 21.7%21.9%, respectively.respectively, and was less than 2% in Whatcom and Kitsap counties.

Our market area has a high concentration of financial institutions, many of which are branches of large money center and regional banks. These include large national lenders that have greater resources and may offer services that we do not provide.

HOW WE ARE REGULATEDHow We Are Regulated

The following isFirst Northwest Bancorp and First Federal are subject to federal, state, and local laws which may change from time to time. This section provides a brief descriptiongeneral overview of certain lawsthe federal and regulationsstate regulatory framework applicable to First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal. The descriptions of laws and regulations included herein do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual laws and regulations. Legislation is introduced from time

These statutes and regulations, as well as related policies, continue to timebe subject to change by Congress, state legislatures, and federal and state regulators. Changes in the United States Congressstatutes, regulations, or the Washington State Legislature that may affect the operations ofregulatory policies applicable to First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal. In addition,Federal (including their interpretation or implementation) cannot be predicted and could have a material effect on First Northwest Bancorp’s and First Federal’s business and operations. Numerous changes to the statutes, regulations, governing us may be amended from timeand regulatory policies applicable to time.First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal have been made or proposed in recent years. Any such legislation or regulatory changes in the future by the FDIC, DFI, Federal Reserve andor the CFPB could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

Enacted in July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), imposed new restrictions and an expanded framework of regulatory oversight for financial institutions, including depository institutions and their holding companies. Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to delayed effective dates and/or rule-making by the federal banking agencies, and their impact on operations cannot yet fully be assessed. However, it is likely that the Dodd-Frank Act will increase the regulatory burden, compliance costs and interest expense for First Northwest Bancorp, First Federal and the financial services industry more generally.

Regulation of First Federal

General.General. First Federal, as a state-chartered savings bank, is subject to applicable provisions of Washington law and to regulations and examinations of the DFI. It also is subject to examination and regulation by the FDIC, which insures the deposits of First Federal to the maximum extent permitted by law. During these state or federal regulatory examinations, the examiners may, among other things, require First Federal to provide for higher general or specific loan loss reserves, which can impact our capital and earnings. This regulation of First Federal is intended for the protection of depositors and the deposit insurance fund ("DIF") of the FDIC and not for the purpose of protecting shareholdersthe shareholder(s) of First Federal or First Northwest Bancorp. First Federal is required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital and is subject to some limitations on the payment of dividends to First Northwest Bancorp. See "– Capital Requirements" and "– Dividends."

Federal and State Enforcement Authority and Actions. As part of its supervisory authority over Washington-chartered savings banks, the DFI may initiate enforcement proceedings to obtain a cease-and-desist order against an institution believed to have engaged in unsafe and unsound practices or to have violated a law, regulation, or other regulatory limit, including a written agreement. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against insured institutions for similar reasons and may terminate the deposit insurance of such

an institution if itthe FDIC determines that anthe institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition. Both these agencies may utilize less formal supervisory tools to address their concerns about the condition, operations, or compliance status of a savings bank.


Regulation by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions. State lawlaws and regulations govern First Federal's ability to take deposits and pay interest, to make loans on or invest in residential and other real estate, to make consumer loans, to invest in securities, to offer various banking services to its customers, and to establish branch offices. As a state savings bank, First Federal must pay semi-annual assessments, examination costs and certain other charges to the DFI.

Washington law generally provides the same powers for Washington savings banks as federally and other-state chartered savings institutions and banks with branches in Washington, subject to the approval of the DFI. Washington law allows Washington savings banks are permitted to charge the maximum interest rates on loans and other extensions of credit to Washington residents which are allowable for a national bank in another state if higher than Washington limits. In addition, the DFI may approve applications by Washington savings banks to engage in an otherwise unauthorized activity if the DFI determines that the activity is closely related to banking and First Federal is otherwise qualified under the statute. This additional authority, however, is subject to review and approval by the FDIC if the activity is not permissible for national banks.

Regulation of Management. Federal law (1) sets forth circumstances under which officers or directors of a bank may be removed by the bank's federal supervisory agency; (2) as discussed below, places restraints on lending by a bank to its executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and their related interests; and (3) generally prohibits management personnel of a bank from serving as directors or in other management positions of another financial institution whose assets exceed a specified amount or which has an office within a specified geographic area.

Insider Credit Transactions. Banks are subject to certain restrictions on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and their related interests. These extensions of credit (1) must be made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) and follow credit underwriting procedures that are at least as stringent as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to the lending bank; and (2) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Banks are also subject to certain lending limits and restrictions on overdrafts to insiders. A violation of these restrictions may result in the assessment of substantial civil monetary penalties, regulatory enforcement actions, and other regulatory sanctions. The Dodd-Frank Act and federal regulations place additional restrictions on loans to insiders and generally prohibit loans to senior officers other than for certain specified purposes.

Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC. The deposit insurance fundDIF of the FDIC insures deposit accounts in First Federal up to $250,000 per separately insured depositor. As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of, and to require reporting by, FDIC-insured institutions. Our deposit insurance premiums for the year ended June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, were $251,000.$82,000. No institution may pay a dividend if it is in default on its federal deposit insurance assessment.

Under the FDIC’s risk-based assessment system, insuredThe FDIC calculates assessments for small institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other risk factors. Rates are based on each institution’s risk category and certain specified risk adjustments, whereby stronger institutions pay lower rates while riskier institutions pay higher rates. Assessments are(those with less than $10 billion in assets) based on an institution’s weighted average consolidated totalCAMELS component ratings and certain financial ratios. Currently, assessment rates range from 3 to 16 basis points for institutions with CAMELS composite ratings of 1 or 2, 6 to 30 basis points for those with a CAMELS composite score of 3, and 16 to 30 basis points for those with CAMELS Composite scores of 4 or 5, subject to certain adjustments. Assessment rates are scheduled to decrease in the future as the reserve ratio increases. The reserve ratio is the ratio of the net worth of the DIF to aggregate insured deposits.

As required by the Dodd Frank Act, the FDIC has adopted a rule to offset the effect of the increase in the minimum reserve ratio of the DIF on small institutions by imposing a surcharge on institutions with assets minusof $10 billion or more commencing on July 1, 2016 and ending when the reserve ratio reached 1.35%. On September 30, 2018, the DIF reached 1.36%, ahead of Dodd-Frank's 2020 deadline to meet the 1.35% reserve ratio. As a result, small institutions will receive credits for the portions of their regular assessments that contributed to growth in the reserve ratio between 1.15% and 1.35%, to be applied when the reserve ratio is at or above 1.38%.

Until recently, FDIC-insured institutions were also required to pay an additional quarterly assessment called the FICO assessment in order to fund the interest on bonds issued to resolve thrift failures in the 1980s. This assessment rate was adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment base, which is average assets less

tangible equity, with anand was the same base as used for the deposit insurance assessment. These assessments continued until the bonds matured in 2019, and the final assessment rate schedule ranging from 2.5 to 45 basis points. was payable in March of 2019.

The FDIC has authority to increase insurance assessments, and any significant increases would have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of First Federal. Management cannot predict what assessment rates will be in the future.

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. The FDIC may also prohibit any insured institution from engaging in any activity determined by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the DIF. We do not currently know of any practice, condition, or violation that may lead to termination of our deposit insurance.

Prompt Corrective Action.Action. Federal statutes establish a supervisory framework, designed to place restrictions on an insured depository institution if its capital levels begin to show signs of weakness, based on five capital categories: well"well capitalized, adequately" "adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized" "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and critically"critically undercapitalized." An institution’s category depends upon where its capital levels are in relation to relevant capital measures, which include risk-based capital measures, Tier 1 and common equity Tier 1 capital measures, a leverage ratio capital measure, and certain other factors. The federal banking agencies have adopted regulations that implement this statutory framework. Under these regulations, an institution is treated as well capitalized if it has a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.0% or more (the total risk-based capital ratio); a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio) of 8.0% or more; a ratio of Tier 1 common equity capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.5% or more (the common equity Tier 1 capital ratio); a ratio of Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets (the leverage ratio) of 5.0% or more; and the institution is not subject to a federal order, agreement, or directive to meet a specific capital level. An institution is considered adequately capitalized if it is not well capitalized but it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or more; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or more; a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio f of 4.5% or more; and a leverage ratio of 4.0% or moremore. The classifications for “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and a leverage ratio of not less than 4%.“critically undercapitalized” institutions are also set forth in the regulations. An institution that is not well capitalized is subject to certain restrictions on brokered deposits, including restrictions on the rates it can offer on its deposits generally. Any institution which is neither well capitalized nor adequately capitalized is considered undercapitalized. Further, an institution may be downgraded to a category lower than indicated by its capital ratios if it is determined to be in an unsafe or unsound condition, or if the institution receives an unsatisfactory examination rating.

Undercapitalized institutions are subject to certain prompt corrective action requirements, regulatory controls, and restrictions which become more extensive as an institution becomes more severely undercapitalized. Failure by First Federal to comply with applicable capital requirements would, if not remedied, result in restrictions on its activities and lead to enforcement actions, including, but not limited to, the issuance of a capital directive to ensure the maintenance of required capital levels and, ultimately, the appointment of the FDIC as receiver or conservator. Banking regulators will take prompt corrective action with respect to depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. Additionally, approval of any regulatory application filed for their review may be dependent on compliance with capital requirements. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, First Federal was categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory capital requirements described below. For additional information, see Note 1112 of

the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K.

Capital Requirements.Requirements. Federal regulations require insured depository institutions and bank holding companies to meet several minimum capital standards. The minimum capital level requirements applicable to First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal are: (i) a common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital to risk-based assets ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 6%; (iii) a total capital to risk-based assets ratio of 8%; and (iv) a Tier 1 capital to total assets leverage ratio of 4%. These minimum capital requirements became effective in January 2015 and were the result of final rules implementing certain regulatory amendments based on the recommendation of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act.

There is alsoIn addition to the minimum risk-based capital ratios, the capital regulations require a requirement for a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% above these regulatory minimum capital requirements, which must consist entirely of common equity Tier 1 capital and results in the following minimum ratios: (i) a CET1 capital ratio of 7.0%, (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%, and (iii) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. The capital conservation buffer, requirement is implemented in phases beginning in January 2016 at 0.625%designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress, consisting of additional CET1 capital of more than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets and increasing by that amount each year until it is fully implementedabove the required minimum risk-based ratios in January 2019. A financial institution is subjectorder to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if itsbonuses. The phase-in of the capital level falls belowconservation buffer requirement began on January 1, 2016, when a buffer greater than 0.625% of risk-weighted assets was required, and increased each year until the buffer amount.requirement was fully implemented on January 1, 2019.

To be considered "well capitalized," First Northwest Bancorp must have, on a consolidated basis, a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater and must not be subject to an individual order, directive or agreement under which the Federal Reserve requires it to maintain a specific capital level. In addition, the Company is subject to the same minimum capital and capital conservation requirements as First Federal.

As of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal each met the requirements to be "well capitalized" and met the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer requirement. Management monitors the capital levels of First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal to provide for current and future business opportunities and to meet regulatory guidelines for “well capitalized” institutions. For additional information regarding First Northwest Bancorp’s and First Federal’s required and actual capital levels at June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, see Note 1112 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K.

The Federal Reserve and the FDIC have authority to establish individual minimum capital requirements in appropriate cases upon a determination that an institution’s capital level is or may become inadequate in light ofconsidering particular risks or circumstances. Management believes that, under the current regulations, First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal will continue to meet their minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future.

Standards for Safety and Soundness.Soundness. The federal banking regulatory agencies have prescribed, by regulation, guidelines for all insured depository institutions relating to internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems; loan documentation; credit underwriting; interest rate risk exposure; asset growth; asset quality; earnings; and compensation, fees, and benefits. The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. Each insured depository institution must implement a comprehensive written information security program that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the institution’s size and complexity and the nature and scope of its activities. The information security program must be designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information, protect against any unanticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information, protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer, and ensure the proper disposal of customer and consumer information. Each insured depository institution must also develop and implement a risk-based response program to address incidents of unauthorized access to customer information in customer information systems. If the FDIC determines that an institution fails to meet any of these guidelines, it may require an institution to submit to the FDIC an acceptable plan to achieve compliance. First Federal has established comprehensive policies and risk management procedures to ensure the safety and soundness of First Federal.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. First Federal is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines. As a member, First Federal is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, First Federal held $4.4$6.0 million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region, and it is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Each FHLB makes loans or advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures, established by its Board of Directors, subject to the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. All advances from the FHLB are required to be fully secured by sufficient collateral as determined by the FHLB, and all long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential home

financing. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, First Federal had $77.4$112.9 million of outstanding advances from the FHLB of Des Moines. See Item 1, "Business – Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds – Borrowings."

The FHLBs continue to contribute to low- and moderately-priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have affected adversely the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future. These contributions could also have an adverse effect on the value of FHLB stock in the future. A reduction in value of First Federal's FHLB of Des Moines stock may result in a corresponding reduction in its capital.

Activities and Investments of Insured State-Chartered Financial Institutions.Institutions. Federal law generally limits the activities and equity investments of FDIC insured, state-chartered banks to those that are permissible for national banks. An insured state bank is not prohibited from, among other things, (1) acquiring or retaining a majority interest in a subsidiary, (2) investing as a limited partner in a partnership, the sole purpose of which is direct or indirect investment in the acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of a qualified housing project, provided that such limited partnership investments may not exceed 2% of the bank’s total assets, (3) acquiring up to 10% of the voting stock of a company that solely provides or reinsures directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage or bankers’ blanket bond group insurance coverage for insured depository institutions, and (4) acquiring or retaining the voting shares of a depository institution if certain requirements are met.

Dividends. Dividends. Dividends from First Federal, which are subject to regulation and limitation, constitute a major source of funds for dividends in future periods that may be paid by First Northwest Bancorp to shareholders. TheAs a general rule, regulatory

authorities may prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends in a manner that would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. For example, regulators have stated that paying dividends that deplete an institution's capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice and that an institution should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings. In addition, a bank may not pay cash dividends if that payment could reduce the amount of dividends payable by First Federalits capital below that necessary to First Northwest Bancorp depends upon First Federal’s earnings andmeet minimum applicable regulatory capital position; is limited by federal and state laws, regulations and policies; and is subject to prior regulatory approval.requirements. According to Washington law, First Federal may not declare or pay a cash dividend on its capital stock if it would cause its net worth to be reduced below (1) the amount required for liquidation accounts or (2) the net worth requirements, if any, imposed by the Director of the DFI. Dividends on First Federal’s capital stock may not be paid in an aggregate amount greater than the aggregate retained earnings of First Federal without the approval of the Director of the DFI.

The amount of dividends actually paid during any one period will be strongly affected by First Federal’s policy of maintaining a strong capital position. Federal law further provides that no insured depository institution may pay a cash dividend if it would cause the institution to be “undercapitalized” as defined in the prompt corrective action regulations and the ability to pay dividends can be limited by the capital conservation buffer requirement. Moreover, the federal bank regulatory agencies also have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured banks if such payments are deemed to constitute an unsafe and unsound practice.

Affiliate Transactions.Transactions. Federal laws strictly limit the ability of banks to engage in certain transactions with their affiliates, including their bank holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act further extended the definition of an “affiliate” and treats credit exposure arising from derivative transactions, securities lending, and borrowing transactions as covered transactions under the regulations. Transactions deemed to be a “covered transaction” under Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act and between a subsidiary bank and its parent company or the nonbank subsidiaries of the bank holding company are limited to 10% of the bank subsidiary’s capital and surplus and, with respect to the parent company and all such nonbank subsidiaries, to an aggregate of 20% of the bank subsidiary’s capital and surplus. Further, covered transactions that are loans and extensions of credit generally are required to be secured by eligible collateral in specified amounts. Federal law also requires that covered transactions and certain other transactions listed in Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act between a bank and its affiliates be on terms as favorable to the bank as transactions with non-affiliates.

Community Reinvestment Act.Act. First Federal is subject to the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA)(the "CRA"), which requires the appropriate federal bank regulatory agency to assess a bank’s performance under the CRA in meeting the credit needs of the community serviced by the bank, including low-and moderate income-income neighborhoods. The regulatory agency’s assessment of a bank’s record is made available to the public. Further, a bank’s CRA performance rating must be considered in connection with a bank’s application, among other things, to establish a new branch office that will accept deposits; to relocate an existing office; or to merge or consolidate with, or acquire the assets or assume the liabilities of, a federally regulated financial institution. In some cases, a bank's failure to comply with the CRA, or CRA protests filed by interested parties during applicable comment periods, can result in the denial or delay of such transactions. First Federal received a “satisfactory” rating during its most recent CRA examination.

Commercial Real Estate Ratios. The federal banking regulators issued guidance reminding financial institutions to reexamine the existing regulations regarding concentrations in commercial real estate lending, including acquisition, development and construction lending. The purpose of the guidance is to guide banks in developing risk management practices and capital levels commensurate with the level and nature of real estate concentrations. The banking regulators are directed to examine each bank’s exposure to commercial real estate loans that are dependent on cash flow from the real estate held as collateral and to focus their supervisory resources on institutions that may have significant commercial real estate loan concentration risk. The guidance provides that the strength of an institution’s lending and risk management practices with respect to such concentrations will be taken into account in evaluating capital adequacy and does not specifically limit a bank’s commercial real estate lending to a specified concentration level.

Privacy Standards.Standards. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (GLBA) modernized the financial services industry by establishing a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms and other financial service providers. First Federal is subject to FDIC regulations implementing the privacy protection provisions of the GLBA. These regulations require First Federal to disclose its privacy policy, including informing consumers of its information sharing practices and informing consumers of itstheir rights to opt out of certain practices.

Environmental Issues Associated with Real Estate Lending. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") is a federal statute that generally imposes strict liability on all prior and present "owners and operators" of sites containing hazardous waste. However, the term "owner and operator" excludes a person whose ownership is limited to protecting its security interest in the site. Since the enactment of the CERCLA, this "secured creditor exemption" has been the subject of judicial interpretations which have left open the possibility that lenders could be liable for cleanup costs on contaminated property that they hold as collateral for a loan. To the extent that legal uncertainty exists in this area, all creditors, including First Federal, that have made loans secured by properties with potential hazardous waste contamination (such as petroleum

contamination) could be subject to liability for cleanup costs, which costs often substantially exceed the value of the collateral property.

Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board requires that all depository institutions maintain reserves on transaction accounts or non-personal time deposits. These reserves may be in the form of cash or noninterest-bearing deposits with the regional Federal Reserve Bank. Negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts and other types of accounts that permit payments or transfers to third parties fall within the definition of transaction accounts and are subject to the reserve requirements, as are any non-personal time deposits at a savings bank. As of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, First Federal's deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank and vault cash exceeded its reserve requirements.

Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism. The Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) requires all financial institutions to establish a risk-based system of internal controls reasonably designed to prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The BSA also sets forth various recordkeeping and reporting requirements (such as reporting suspicious activities that might signal criminal activity) and certain due diligence and "know your customer" documentation requirements.

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“Patriot Act”), intended to combat terrorism, was renewed with certain amendments in 2006. In relevant part, the Patriot Act (1) prohibits banks from providing correspondent accounts directly to foreign shell banks; (2) imposes due diligence requirements on banks opening or holding accounts for foreign financial institutions or wealthy foreign individuals; (3) requires financial institutions to establish an anti-money laundering compliance program; and (4) eliminates civil liability for persons who file suspicious activity reports. The Patriot Act also includes provisions providing the government with power to investigate terrorism, including expanded government access to bank account records. Regulators are directed to consider a bank holding company’s and a bank’s effectiveness in combating money laundering when reviewing and ruling on applications under the BHCA and the Bank Merger Act. First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal have established comprehensive compliance programs designed to comply with the requirements of the BSA and Patriot Act.

Other Consumer Protection Laws and Regulations. The Dodd-Frank Act, among other things, established the CFPB as an independent bureau of the Federal Reserve Board. The CFPB assumed responsibility for the implementation of the federal financial consumer protection and fair lending laws and regulations and has authority to impose new requirements. First Federal is subject to consumer protection regulations issued by the CFPB, but as a smaller financial institution, we areit is generally subject to supervision and enforcement by the FDIC and the DFI with respect to our compliance with consumer financial protection laws and CFPB regulations.

First Federal is subject to a broad array of federal and state consumer protection laws and regulations that govern almost every aspect of its business relationships with consumers. While the list set forth below is not exhaustive, some of these laws and regulations include the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Right to Financial Privacy Act, the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act, the Consumer Leasing Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Homeowners Protection Act, the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, laws governing flood insurance, laws governing consumer protections in connection with the sale of insurance, federal and state laws prohibiting unfair and deceptive business practices, and various regulations that implement some or all of the foregoing. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in whichway financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits, making loans, collecting loans, and providing other services. In recent years, examination and enforcement by federal and state banking agencies for non-compliance with consumer protection laws and regulations have increased and become more intense. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations can subject First Federal to various penalties including, but not limited to, enforcement actions, injunctions, fines, civil liability, criminal penalties, punitive damages, and the loss of certain contractual rights. First Federal has established a comprehensive compliance system to ensure consumer protection.

Regulation and Supervision of First Northwest Bancorp

General. First Northwest Bancorp is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve and the sole shareholder of First Federal. Bank holding companies are subject to comprehensive regulation by the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHCA”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder. This regulation and oversight is generally intended to ensure that First Northwest Bancorp limits its

activities to those allowed by law and that it operates in a safe and sound manner without endangering the financial health of First Federal.

As a bank holding company, First Northwest Bancorp is required to file quarterlysemi-annual and annual reports with the Federal Reserve and any additional information required by the Federal Reserve and is subject to regular examinations by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve also has extensive enforcement authority over bank holding companies, including the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to require that a holding company divest subsidiaries (including its bank subsidiaries). In general, enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of law and regulations andand/or for unsafe or unsound practices.



The Bank Holding Company Act. Under the BHCA, First Northwest Bancorp is supervised by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has a policy that a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act and earlier Federal Reserve policy provide that bank holding companies should serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks by being prepared to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity (including at times when a bank holding company may not be in a financial position to provide such resources or when it may not be in the bank holding company’s or its shareholders' best interests to do so), and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. Any capital loans a bank holding company makes to its bank subsidiaries are subordinate to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of the bank subsidiaries. A bank holding company's failure to meet its obligation to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will generally be considered by the Federal Reserve to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the Federal Reserve's regulations, or both.

Under the BHCA, the Federal Reserve may approve the ownership of shares by a bank holding company in any company the activities of which the Federal Reserve has determined to be so closely related to the business of banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. These activities generally include, among others, operating a savings institution, mortgage company, finance company, credit card company, or factoring company; performing certain data processing operations; providing certain investment and financial advice; underwriting and acting as an insurance agent for certain types of credit-related insurance; leasing property on a full-payout, non-operating basis; selling money orders, travelers' checks, and U.S. Savings Bonds; real estate and personal property appraising; providing tax planning and preparation services; and, subject to certain limitations, providing securities brokerage services for customers.

Acquisitions. The BHCA prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from acquiring ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its subsidiaries. A bank holding company that meets certain supervisory and financial standards and elects to be designed as a financial holding company may also engage in certain securities, insurance and merchant banking activities, and other activities determined to be financial in nature or incidental to financial activities. The BHCA prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from acquiring ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its subsidiaries.

Regulatory Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve has adopted capital rules pursuant to which it assesses the adequacy of capital in examining and supervising a bank holding company and in analyzing applications under the BHCA. These rules apply on a consolidated basis to bank holding companies with $3.0 billion (which was increased from $1.0 billion in conjunction with the Crapo Bill, discussed below) or more in assets, or with fewer assets but certain risky activities, and on a bank-only basis to other companies. TheWhen applicable, the bank holding company capital adequacy and conservation buffer rules are the same as those imposed on First Federal by the FDIC. For additional information, see the section above entitled “- Regulation of First Federal - Capital Regulation” and Note 1112 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8., "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K.

Interstate Banking. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated interstate branching restrictions that were implemented as part of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 ("Interstate Act") and removed many restrictions on de novo interstate branching by state and federally chartered banks. The Federal Reserve mustmay approve an application of a bank holding company to acquire control of, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, a bank located in a state other than the bank holding company's home state, without regard to whether the transaction is prohibited by the laws of any state. The Federal Reserve may not approve the acquisition of a bank that has not been in existence for the minimum time period not exceedingof five years, or longer if specified by the law of the host state. Nor mayIn addition, the Federal Reserve generally may not approve an application for an interstate merger transaction if the applicant controls or would control more than 10% of the insured deposits in the United States or

30% or more of the deposits in the target bank's home state or in any state in which the target bank maintains a branch. Federal law does not affect the authority of states to limit the percentage of total insured deposits in the state that may be held or controlled by a bank holding company to the extent such limitation does not discriminate against out-of-state banks or bank holding companies. Individual states may also waive the 30% state-wide concentration limit contained in the federal law. Banks may establish de novo branches in any state, subject to regulatory approval.

The federal banking agencies are authorized to approve interstate merger transactions without regard to whether the transaction is prohibited by the law of any state, unless the home state of one of the banks adopted a law prior to June 1, 1997, which applies equally to all out-of-state banks and expressly prohibits merger transactions involving out-of-state banks. Interstate acquisitions of branches are permitted only if the law of the state in which the branch is located permits such acquisitions. Interstate mergers and branch acquisitions are also subject to the nationwide and statewide insured deposit concentration amounts described above. Federal bank regulations prohibit banks from using their interstate branches primarily for deposit production, and federal bank regulatory agencies have implemented a loan-to-deposit ratio screen to ensure compliance with this prohibition.

Interchange Fees. Under the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve adopted rules establishing standards for assessing whether the interchange fees that may be charged with respect to certain electronic transactions are "reasonable and proportional" to the costs incurred by issuers for processing such transactions. Notably, the Federal Reserve's rules set a maximum permissible interchange fee, among other requirements. As of December 31, 2019, First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal qualified for the small issuer exemption from the Federal Reserve’s interchange fee cap, which applies to any debit card issuer that has total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion as of the end of the previous calendar year.

Restrictions on Dividends.Dividends. First Northwest Bancorp's ability to declare and pay dividends is subject to the Federal Reserve limits and Washington law, and it may depend on its ability to receive dividends from First Federal.Federal, as discussed above.

AThe Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies. In particular, the Federal Reservepolicy limits the payment of a cash dividend by a bank holding company if the holding company's net income for the past year is not sufficient to cover both the cash dividend and a rate of earnings retention that is consistent with capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition. A bank holding company that does not meet any applicable capital standard would not be able to pay any cash dividends under this policy. A bank holding company not subject to consolidated capital requirements is expected not to pay dividends unless its debt-to-equity ratio is less than 1:1, and it meets certain additional criteria. The Federal Reserve also has indicated that it would be inappropriate for a company experiencing serious financial problems to borrow funds to pay dividends. The capital conservation buffer requirements may limit the Company’sFirst Northwest Bancorp's ability to pay dividends.

Except for a company that meets the well-capitalized standard for bank holding companies, is well managed, and is not subject to any unresolved supervisory issues, a bank holding company is required to give the Federal Reserve prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of its outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding 12 months, is equal to 10.0% or more of the company's consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that the proposal would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law, regulation or regulatory order, condition, or written agreement. A bank holding company is considered well-capitalized if on a consolidated basis it has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0% and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or more, and is not subject to an agreement, order, or directive to maintain a specific level for any capital measure.

Any material deviations from, or changes to, the business plan provided as part of the conversion and stock offering are subject to the prior written approval of the Regional Director of the FDIC-San Francisco. Under Washington corporate law, First Northwest Bancorp generally may not pay dividends if after that payment it would not be able to pay its liabilities as they become due in the usual course of business, or its total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities.These various laws and regulatory policies may affect First Northwest Bancorp’s ability to pay dividends or otherwise engage in capital distributions.

Stock Repurchases.Tying Arrangements. Any repurchasesFirst Northwest Bancorp and First Federal are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of our common stock during the three year period following the conversion is subjectcredit, sale or lease of property, or furnishing of services. For example, with certain exceptions, neither First Northwest Bancorp nor First Federal may condition an extension of credit to the prior approval of the DFI and other bank regulatory agencies, as applicable. A bank holding company, except for certain “well-capitalized” and highly rated bank holding companies, is required to give the Federal Reserve prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of its outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding twelve months, is equal to 10% or more of its consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determinescustomer on either (1) a requirement that the proposal would constitutecustomer obtain additional services provided by First Northwest Bancorp or First Federal; or (2) an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law, regulation, Federal Reserve order or any condition imposedagreement by or written agreement with, the Federal Reserve.customer to refrain from obtaining other services from a competitor.


The Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law in July 2010 and imposes restrictions and an expanded framework of regulatory oversight for financial institutions, including depository institutions, and required new capital regulations that are discussed above under “- Regulation of First Federal - Capital Regulations.” In addition, among other changes, the Dodd-Frank Act requires public companies, like First Northwest Bancorp, to (i) provide their shareholders with a non-binding vote (a) at least once every three years on the compensation paid to executive officers and (b) at least once every six years on whether they should have a “say on pay” vote every one, two, or three years; (ii) have a separate, non-binding shareholder vote regarding golden parachutes for named executive officers when a shareholder vote takes place on mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, or other transactions that would trigger the parachute payments; and (iii) provide disclosure in annual proxy materials concerning the relationship between the executive compensation paid and the financial performance of the issuer;issuer. In August 2015, the Securities and (iv) amend Item 402 of Regulation S-K to require companiesExchange Commission ("SEC") adopted a rule mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act that requires a public company to disclose the ratio of the Chief Executive Officer's annual total compensation to the median annual total compensation of all other employees. For certain of these changes, the implementing regulations have not been promulgated, so the full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on public companies cannot be determined at this time.The rule is intended to provide shareholders with information that they can use to evaluate a Chief Executive Officer’s compensation.

Federal Securities Law. The stock of First Northwest Bancorp is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.amended (the "Exchange Act"). As a result, First Northwest Bancorp is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions, and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.Act.

First Northwest Bancorp stock held by persons who are affiliates of First Northwest Bancorp may not be resold without registration unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. Affiliates are generally

considered to be officers, directors and principal shareholders. If First Northwest Bancorp meets specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of First Northwest Bancorp will be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period.

The SEC has adopted regulations and policies under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that apply to First Northwest Bancorp as a registered company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.Act. The stated goals of these Sarbanes-Oxley requirements are to increase corporate responsibility, provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The SEC and Sarbanes-Oxley-related regulations and policies include very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees.

Recent and Proposed Legislation. The economic and political environment of the past several years has led to a number of proposed legislative, governmental, and regulatory initiatives that may significantly impact the banking industry. Other regulatory initiatives by federal and state agencies may also significantly impact First Northwest Bancorp's and First Federal’s business. First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal cannot predict whether these or any other proposals will be enacted or the ultimate impact of any such initiatives on its operations, competitive situation, financial conditions, or results of operations. While recent history has demonstrated that new legislation or changes to existing laws or regulations typically result in a greater compliance burden (and therefore increase the general costs of doing business), the current administration has expressed an attempt to reduce these regulatory burdens. For instance, in May 2018, President Trump signed into law the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the “Crapo Bill”), which is bipartisan legislation that rolls back certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act to provide regulatory relief to certain financial institutions.

TAXATIONEffects of Federal Government Monetary Policy. First Northwest Bancorp’s earnings and growth are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government, particularly the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve implements national monetary policy to promote maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates. Through its open market operations in U.S. government securities, control of the discount rate applicable to borrowings, establishment of reserve requirements against certain deposits, and control of the interest rate applicable to excess reserve balances and reverse repurchase agreements, the Federal Reserve influences the availability and cost of money and credit and, ultimately, a range of economic variables including employment, output, and the prices of goods and services. The nature and impact of future changes in monetary policies and their impact on First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal cannot be predicted with certainty.



Taxation

Federal Taxation

General.General. First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize certain pertinent federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to First Northwest Bancorp or First Federal. First Federal is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ended before June 30, 2014.2016. See Note 910 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K.

First Northwest Bancorp will file a consolidated federal income tax return with First Federal. Accordingly, any cash distributions made by First Northwest Bancorp to its shareholders would be considered to be taxable dividends and not as a non‑taxable return of capital to shareholders for federal and state tax purposes.

Method of Accounting.Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, First Federal currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and usesaccounting. Beginning with the six months ended December 31, 2017, federal income tax returns are filed using a December 31 year end. Prior periods, through June 30, 2017, used a fiscal year ending on June 30 for filing its federal income tax return.

Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, called alternative minimum taxable income. The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent such alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an exemption amount. Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. First Federal has been subject to the alternative minimum tax, and at June 30, 2017 has no credits for carryover.

Corporate Dividends‑Received Deduction. First Northwest Bancorp may eliminate from its income dividends received from First Federal as a wholly owned subsidiary of First Northwest Bancorp if it elects to file a consolidated return with First Federal. The corporate dividends-received deduction is 100%, or 80%65%, in the case of dividends received from corporations with which a corporate recipient does not file a consolidated tax return, depending on the level of stock ownership of the payor of the dividend. Corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct 70%50% of dividends received or accrued on their behalf.

Charitable Contribution Carryovers.Carryovers. The Company may carryforward charitable contributions to the succeeding five taxable years. The utilization of the charitable contribution carryforward may not exceed 10% of taxable income as defined by the federal taxation laws. At June 30, 2017, the Company had a charitable contribution carryforward for federal income tax purposes of $8.0 million. This carryforward was generated from the Company’s creation of the First Federal Community Foundation to which it contributed 933,360 shares of its common stock and $400,000 in cash in connection with the mutual to stock conversion. Management does not fully expect to utilize the benefit over the five year carryforward period and has recorded a reserve on the portion of the related deferred tax asset estimated to expire unused.


Washington Taxation

First Federal is subject to a business and occupation tax imposed under Washington law at the rate of 1.5% of gross receipts. Interest received on loans secured by mortgages or deeds of trust on residential properties and certain investment securities are exempt from this tax.


Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our increased emphasis on commercial real estate lending subjects us to various risks that could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

We have increased the amount of our commercial real estate and multi-family loans to $260.1$351.8 million, or 35.4%39.8% of our total loan portfolio, at June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, from $121.0$335.6 million, or 26.4%38.6%, of our total loan portfolio at June 30, 2013.December 31, 2018. We intend to continue to increase, subject to market demand, our origination and purchase of commercial real estate loans.

Our increased focus on this type of lending has increased our risk profile relative to traditional one- to four-family lenders.profile. Commercial real estate loans are intended to enhance the average yield of our earning assets; however, they do involve a different level of risk of delinquency or collection than generally associated with one- to four-family loans for a number of reasons.loans. The repayment of commercial real estate loans typically is dependent on the successful operation and income stream of the borrowers’ business, or the ability to lease the property at sufficient rates, and the value of the real estate securing the loan as collateral, which can be significantly affected by economic conditions. These loans also involve larger balances to a single borrower or groups of related borrowers. Some of our commercial borrowers have more than one loan outstanding with us. Consequently, an

adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to a significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a single one- to four-family residential mortgage loan. Since commercial real estate loans generally have large balances, deterioration in the quality of commercial loans may result in the need to significantly increase our provision for loan losses and charge-offs will likely be larger on a per loan basis compared to consumer loans. As a result, deterioration of this portfolio could materially adversely affect our future earnings. Collateral evaluation and financial statement analysis in these types of loans also requires a more detailed analysis at the time of loan underwriting and on an ongoing basis. Finally, if we foreclose on a commercial real estate loan, our holding period for the collateral is typically longer than for a one- to four-family residence because the secondary market for most types of commercial real estate is not readily liquid, which results in less opportunity to mitigate credit risk by selling part or all of our interest in these assets. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, we had $426,000$109,000 of nonperforming commercial real estate loans and no nonperforming multi-family loans in our portfolio.

As an institution’s concentration in commercial real estate lending increases, it becomes subject to more scrutiny by the FDIC under its policies applicable to management of its portfolio of commercial loans, considering the risk management, Board and management oversight, portfolio management, management information systems, credit underwriting standards, portfolio stress testing and sensitivity analysis, and credit risk review function applied to the commercial loan portfolio, as well as the institution’s capital adequacy.loans.

The significant growth in our loan portfolio and our rapid expansion into new markets may increase our credit risk.

Since the completion of our initial public offering in January 2015, we have grown substantially in terms of total assets, total loans, total deposits, employees, and locations, expanding our business activities throughout the Puget Sound region. We have significantly increased the amount of loans located outside of the counties where we have branch locations from $144.5 million, or 29.3% of our total loan portfolio, at June 30, 2014, to $340.5 million, or 46.4% of our total loan portfolio, at June 30, 2017, which includes $41.9 million of purchased one- to four-family loans secured by properties located primarily in California and Ohio. In addition, ourOur commercial loan portfolio, which includes loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate as well as business assets, has increased to $277.2$393.4 million, or 37.7%44.5% of total loans, at June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, from $190.7$354.5 million, or 37.8%40.8% of total loans, at June 30, 2014. Included in our commercial loan portfolio at June 30, 2017, were $13.3 million of additional loans purchased and loan participations.December 31, 2018. Rapidly growing loan portfolios are, by their nature, less seasoned, meaning they were originated relatively recently. Combined with the geographic expansion of our lending area, our experience with these loans may not provide us with a significant payment history pattern making estimating loan loss allowances more difficult, and more susceptible to changes in estimates, and to losses exceeding estimates, than our more seasoned portfolio of loans in our traditional lending area. Further, First Federal has not experienced a downturn in economic conditions

with these loans. As a result, it is difficult to predict the future performance of these parts of our loan portfolio. These loans may develop delinquency or charge-off levels above our historical experience, which could adversely affect our future performance.

We plan to continue both strategic and opportunistic growth, whichunderstanding that we may see a slowing of growth as we mature and manage capital down to more efficient levels. Continued growth can present substantial demands on management personnel, line employees, and other aspects of our operations, especially if our growth occurs rapidly. We may face difficulties in managing that growth effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth, and negatively affect our operating results. Also see “Our branching strategy will cause our expenses to increase and may negatively affect our earnings.”


We have a concentration of large loans outstanding to a limited number of borrowers that increases our risk of loss.

First Federal has extended significant amounts of credit to a limited number of borrowers, largely in connection with high-end residential real estate and commercial and multi-family real estate loans. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of loans, including unused commitments, to First Federal's five largest borrowers (including related entities) amounted to approximately $61.0$76.4 million. Outstanding loan balances for the ten largest borrowing relationships at December 31, 2019 totaled $112.9 million, or 8.3% of total loans. Loans to the largest 20 borrowers at June 30, 2017 totaled $156.7 million, or 21.3%12.8% of total loans. At such date, none of the loans to First Federal's 20 largest borrowers were nonperforming loans.

Concentration of credit to a limited number of borrowers increases the risk in First Federal's loan portfolio. In the event thatIf one or more of these borrowers is not able to service the contractual repayment, the potential loss to First Federal is more likely to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our construction and land loans are based upon estimates of costs and the value of the completed project.

During the year ended June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, our construction and land loans increased $21.2decreased $16.9 million, or 42.1%31.2%, to $71.6$37.2 million, or 9.8%4.2%, of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and consisted of properties secured by one- to four-family residential of $13.4$16.1 million, multi-family of $26.1$10.5 million, commercial real estate of $17.1$3.3 million, and land of $15.0$7.3 million. Land loans include raw land and land acquisition and development loans.

Construction and land development lending generally involves additional risks when compared with permanent residential lending because funds are advanced upon estimates of costs in relation to values associated with the completed project that will produce a future value at completion. Because of the uncertainties inherent in

estimating construction costs, the market value of the completed project, the effects of governmental regulation on real property, and changes in demand, it is relatively difficult to evaluate accurately the total funds required to complete a project and the completed project loan-to-value ratio, which may cause actual results to vary significantly from those estimated. For these reasons, this type of lending also typically involves higher loan principal amounts and is often concentrated with a small number of builders. A downturn in housing, or the real estate market, could increase loan delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures, and significantly impair the value of our collateral and our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure. Some of our builders have more than one loan outstanding with us, and an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to a significantly greater risk of loss.

In addition, during the term of most of our construction loans, no payment from the borrower is required since the accumulated interest is added to the principal of the loan through an interest reserve. As a result, these loans often involve the disbursement of funds with repayment substantially dependent on the successful outcome of the project and the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property or obtain permanent take-out financing, rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest. If our appraisal of the value of a completed project proves to be overstated, we may have inadequate security for the repayment of the loan upon completion of construction of the project and may incur a loss. Because construction loans require active monitoring of the building process, including cost comparisons and on-site inspections, these loans are more difficult and costly to monitor. Increases in market rates of interest may have a more pronounced effect on construction loans by rapidly increasing the end-purchasers' borrowing costs, thereby reducing the overall demand for the project. Properties under construction are often difficult to sell and typically must be completed in order to be successfully sold which also complicates the process of working out problem construction loans. This may require us to advance additional funds and/or contract with another builder to complete construction and assume the market risk of selling the project at a future market price, which may or may not enable us to fully recover unpaid loan funds and associated

construction and liquidation costs. Furthermore, in the case of speculative construction loans, there is the added risk associated with identifying an end-purchaser for the finished project. At June 30, 2017, $4.5 million of our construction and land loans were for speculative construction.

We occasionally purchase loans in bulk or “pools.” We may experience lower yields or losses on loan “pools” because the assumptions we use when purchasing loans in bulk may not prove correct.

In order to achieve our loan growth objectives and/or improve earnings, we may purchase loans, either individually, through participations, or in bulk. When we determine the purchase price we are willing to pay to purchase loans in bulk, management makes certain assumptions about, among other things, how fast borrowers will prepay their loans, the real estate market, our ability to collect loans successfully and, if necessary, our ability to dispose of any real estate that may be acquired through foreclosure. When we purchase loans in bulk, we perform certain due diligence procedures and typically require customary limited indemnities. To the extent that our underlying assumptions prove to be inaccurate or the basis for those assumptions change, the purchase price paid for “pools” of loans may prove to have been excessive, resulting in a lower yield or a loss of some or all of the loan principal. Our success in growing through purchases of loan “pools” depends on our ability to price loan “pools” properly and on the general economic conditions within the geographic areas where the underlying properties of our loans are located.

For loans purchased outside of the state of Washington where management may not have substantial prior experience, the Bank typically relies on the seller or its assignee to service these loans. We may be exposed to greater risk of loss due to the inability of the Bank to directly negotiate with a delinquent borrower to recover principal and interest due in the event of default.

Adverse economic conditions in the market areas we serve could adversely impact our earnings and could increase the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio.

Substantially all of our loans are to businesses and individuals in the state of Washington. AAn economic decline in the national economy or the economies of the counties which we consider to be our primary market areas could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Weakness in the global economy has adversely affected many businesses operating in our markets that are dependent upon international trade and it is not known how the recent spread of the coronavirus both globally and in the State of Washington, the withdrawal by the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, and the current trade dispute with China may also affect these businesses.businesses and the regional and national economy generally.

While real estate values and unemployment rates have recently improved, deterioration in economic conditions in the market areas we serve, in particular the North Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound area of

Washington State, could result in the following consequences, any of which could have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations:
loan delinquencies, problem assets and foreclosures may increase;
demand for our products and services may decline, possibly resulting in a decrease in our total loans or assets;
collateral for loans made may decline further in value, exposing us to increased risk of loss on existing loans and reducing customers’ borrowing power;
the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; and
the amount of our deposits may decrease and the composition of our deposits may be adversely affected.

A decline in local economic conditions may have a greater effect on our earnings and capital than on the earnings and capital of larger financial institutions whose real estate loan portfolios are geographically diverse. If we are required to liquidate a significant amount of collateral during a period of reduced real estate values, our financial condition and profitability could be adversely affected. Adverse changes in the regional and general economy could reduce our growth rate, impair our ability to collect loans, and generally have a negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our branching strategy will cause our expenses to increase and may negatively affect our earnings.

Over the past foursix years, we have opened three new full-service branches in Silverdale and Bellingham, Washington, an HLCa lending center in Seattle, Washington, and planWashington. We may continue to open another full-service branch in Bainbridge Island, Washington by January 31, 2018. We plan to continue openingor purchase new branches and HLCs,lending centers, and the success of our expansion strategy into new markets is contingent upon numerous factors, such as our ability to select suitable

locations, assess each market's competitive environment, secure managerial resources, hire and retain qualified personnel and implement effective marketing strategies. The opening of new offices may not increase the volume of our loans and deposits as quickly or to the degree that we hope, and opening new offices will increase our operating expenses. On average, de novo branches do not become profitable until three to four years after opening. We currently expect to lease rather than own additional de novo branches and HLCs,lending centers, and projected time linestimelines and estimated dollar amounts involved in opening new offices could differ significantly from actual results. In addition, we may not successfully manage the costs and implementation risks associated with our branching strategy. Accordingly, any new branch or HLClending center may negatively impact our earnings for some period of time until the office reaches certain economies of scale, and there is a risk that our new offices will not be successful even after they have been established.

Our business may be adversely affected by credit risk associated with residential property.

At June 30, 2017, $364.1December 31, 2019, $341.1 million, or 49.6%38.6% of our total loan portfolio, consisted of one- to four-family mortgage loans and home equity loans secured by residential properties, including $36.2 million or 4.9% of our total loan portfolio secured by residential properties located in California and Ohio.properties. Lending on residential property is generally sensitive to regional and local economic conditions that significantly impact the ability of borrowers to meet their loan payment obligations, making loss levels difficult to predict. Declines in residential real estate values securing these types of loans may increase the level of borrower defaults and losses above the recent charge-off experience on these loans. Jumbo one- to four-family residential loans which do not conform to secondary market mortgage requirements for our market areas would not be immediately saleable to Freddie Mac or other investors and may expose us to increased risk because of their larger balances. Further, a significant amount of our home equity lines of credit consist of second mortgage loans. For those home equity lines secured by a second mortgage, it is unlikely that we will be successful in recovering all or a portion of our loan balances in the event of default unless we are prepared to repay the first mortgage loan and such repayment and the costs associated with a foreclosure are justified by the value of the property. For these reasons we may experience higher rates of delinquencies, default and losses on loans secured by junior liensliens.

Our non-owner-occupied residential real estate loans may expose us to increased credit risk.

At June 30, 2017, $28.1December 31, 2019, $22.2 million, or 3.8%2.5% of our total loan portfolio, was secured by non-owner-occupied residential properties consisting of one- to four-family and home equity loans. Loans secured by non-owner-occupied properties generally expose a lender to greater risk of nonpayment and loss than loans secured by owner-occupied properties because repayment of such loans depends primarily on the tenant’s continuing ability to pay rent to the property owner, who is our borrower, or, if the property owner is unable to find a tenant, the property owner’s ability to repay the loan without the benefit of a rental income stream. In addition, the physical condition of non-owner-occupied properties is often below that of owner-occupied properties due to lax property maintenance

standards, which has a negative impact on the value of the collateral properties. Furthermore, some of our non-owner-occupied residential loan borrowers have more than one loan outstanding with us, which may expose us to a greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to an owner-occupied residential mortgage loan.

Repayment of our commercial business loans is often dependent on the cash flows of the borrower, which may be unpredictable, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value.

At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, we had $17.1$41.6 million, or 2.3%4.7% of total loans, in commercial business loans. Commercial business lending involves risks that are different from those associated with residential and commercial real estate lending. Real estate lending is generally considered to be collateral based lending with loan amounts based on predetermined loan to collateral values, with liquidation of the underlying real estate collateral being viewed as the primary source of repayment in the event of borrower default. Our commercial business loans are primarily made based on the cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. TheThese borrowers' cash flowflows may be unpredictable, and collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Although commercial business loans are often collateralized by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, or other business assets, the liquidation of collateral in the event of default is often an insufficient source of repayment because accounts receivable may be uncollectible and inventories may be obsolete or of limited use, among other things.


A portion of our loan portfolio is serviced by third parties, which may limit our ability to foreclose on such loans.

At June 30, 2017, $54.1December 31, 2019, $48.8 million of our one- to four-family and $8.8$4.3 million of our commercial real estate loan portfolios were serviced by third parties. When a loan goes into default, it is the responsibility of the third-party servicer to enforce the borrower’s obligation to repay the outstanding indebtedness. We are reliant on the servicer to bring the loan current, enter into a satisfactory loan modification or foreclose on the property on behalf of First Federal. We must comply with any loan modification entered into by the servicer even if we would not otherwise agree to the modified terms, which may result in a reduction in our interest income due to the loan modification. Delays in foreclosing on property, whether caused by restrictions under state or federal law or the failure of a third- party servicer to timely pursue foreclosure action, can increase our potential loss on such property, due to factors such as lack of maintenance, unpaid property taxes and adverse changes in market conditions. These delays may adversely affect our ability to limit our credit losses.

Our lending limit may restrict our growth.

Washington law provides that Washington chartered savings banks, such as First Federal, are subject to the same loans to one borrower restrictions as Washington chartered commercial banks, which restrictsgenerally restrict total loans and extensions of credit by a bank to 20% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. As a result, under Washington law, First Federal would be limited to loans to one borrower of $29.6$31.8 million at June 30, 2017.December 31, 2019. Under its current policy, First Federal has elected to restrict its loans to one borrower to no more than 20% of its unimpaired capital plus surplus or $18.0 million, whichever is less, unless specifically approved by the board loan/asset quality committeeBoard of Directors' Loan/Asset Quality Committee as an exception to policy. At June 30, 2017, 20% of First Federal's unimpaired capital was $24.0 million, andDecember 31, 2019, under this policy our loans to one borrower limit would have been $18.0 million. This amount is significantly less than that of many of our competitors and may discourage potential commercial borrowers who have credit needs in excess of our loans to one borrower lending limit from doing business with us. Our loans to one borrower restriction also impacts the efficiency of our commercial lending operation because it lowers our average loan size, which means we have to generate a higher number of transactions to achieve the same portfolio volume. We can accommodate larger loans by selling participations in those loans to other financial partners, but this strategy is not the most efficient or always available. We may not be able to attract or maintain clients seeking larger loans or may not be able to sell participations in these loans on terms we consider favorable.

Our allowance for loan losses may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses in our loan portfolio.

We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, we review our loans and our loss and delinquency experience, and we evaluate economic conditions. If our assumptions are incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio, resulting in additions to our allowance for loan losses through the provision for losses on loans which is charged against income.

Additionally, pursuant to our growth strategy, management recognizes that significant new loan growth, new loan products, and the refinancing of existing loans, resulting in portfolios comprised of unseasoned loans that may not perform in a historical or projected manner, may increase the risk that our allowance may be insufficient to absorb losses without significant additional provisions. Material additionsSignificant provisions to our allowance could materially decrease our net income. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for possible loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. In addition, if charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance for loan losses we will need additional provisions to replenish the allowance for loan losses. Any additional provisions will result in a decrease in net income, and possibly capital, and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has adopted a new accounting standard update (“ASU”) 2016-13 that will be effective for our first fiscal year after December 15, 2019.on January 1, 2023. This standard, referred to as Current Expected Credit Loss, or CECL, will require financial institutions to determine periodic estimates of lifetime expected credit losses on loans, and recognize the expected credit losses as allowances for credit losses. This will change the current method of providing allowances for credit losses that are probable, which may require us to increase our allowance for loan losses, and may greatly increase the types of data we would need to collect and review to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses. For more on this ASU, see Note 1 of the

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements contained in Item 8 of this report.

If our nonperforming assets increase, our earnings will be adversely affected.

At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, our nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccruing loans, real estate owned and repossessed assets, were $2.0 million, or 0.2%0.1% of total assets. Our nonperforming assets adversely affect our net income in various ways:ways.
we record interest income on a cash basis only for nonaccrual loans and any nonperforming investment securities and we do not record interest income for real estate owned;
we must provide for probable loan losses through a current period charge to the provision for loan losses;
noninterest expense increases when we write down the value of properties in our real estate owned portfolio to reflect changing market values or recognize other-than-temporary impairment on nonperforming investment securities;
there are legal fees associated with the resolution of problem assets, as well as carrying costs, such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance fees related to our real estate owned; and
the resolution of nonperforming assets requires the active involvement of management, which can distract them from more profitable activity.

If additional borrowers become delinquent and do not pay their loans and we are unable to successfully manage our nonperforming assets, our losses and troubled assets could increase significantly, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our securities portfolio may be negatively impacted by fluctuations in market value and interest rates.

Our securities portfolio may be impacted by fluctuations in market value, potentially reducing accumulated other comprehensive income and/or earnings, both of which could adversely affectFactors beyond our control can significantly influence the fair value of securities in our equity. Fluctuations in marketportfolio and can cause potential adverse changes to the fair value may be caused byof these securities. These factors include, but are not limited to, ratings agency actions, defaults or other adverse events affecting the issuer or the underlying collateral, if any, of the security, changes in market interest rates, lower market prices for securities, and limited investor demand. Our securities portfolio is evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment, and if this evaluation shows impairment tocontinued instability in the actual or projected cash flows associated with one or more securities, a potential loss to earningscapital markets. These factors, among others, could cause other-than-temporary-impairment ("OTTI"), realized and/or a declineunrealized losses in future periods, and declines in other comprehensive income, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Determining OTTI requires complex, subjective judgments about the future financial performance and liquidity of the security's issuer and underlying collateral, if any, to assess the probability of receiving all contractual principal and interest payments due, and these estimates may occur. There can be no assurance that declines in market value will not result in other-than-temporary impairmentsdiffer significantly from actual future performance of these assets, which would lead to accounting charges that could have a material adverse effect on our net income and capital levels.the security.

If our real estate owned is not properly valued or declines further in value, our earnings could be reduced.

We obtain updated valuations in the form of appraisals and tax assessed values when a loan has been foreclosed and the property taken in as real estate owned and at certain other times during the asset’s holding period. Our net book value of the loan at the time of foreclosure and thereafter is compared to the updated market value of the foreclosed property less estimated selling costs (fair value). A charge-off is recorded for any excess in the asset’s net book value over its fair value. If our valuation process is incorrect, or if property values decline, the fair value of our real estate owned may not be sufficient to recover our carrying value in such assets, resulting in the need for additional charge-offs. In addition, bank regulators periodically review our real estate owned and may require us to recognize further charge-offs. Significant charge-offs to our real estate owned could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


Conditions in the financial markets may limit our access to additional funding to meet our liquidity needs which could adversely affect our earnings and capital levels.

Liquidity is essential to our business. We rely on a number of different sources in order to meet our potential liquidity demands. We require sufficient liquidity to meet customer loan requests, customer deposit maturities and withdrawals, payments on our debt obligations as they come due and other cash commitments under both normal operating conditions and other unpredictable circumstances, including events causing industry or general financial market stress. A tightening of the credit markets and the inability to obtain adequate funding may negatively affect our liquidity, asset growth and, consequently, our earnings capability and capital levels. In addition to any deposit growth, and the sale of loans or investment securities, maturity of investment securities and loan payments, we rely from time to time on advances from the FHLB, and certain other wholesale funding sources to meet liquidity demands. Our liquidity position could be significantly constrained if we were unable to access funds from the FHLB or other wholesale funding sources. Factors that could detrimentally impact our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity as a result of a downturn in the markets in which our loans are concentrated, negative operating results, or adverse regulatory action against us. Our ability to borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a disruption in the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry or deterioration in credit markets. Any decline in available funding could adversely impact our ability to originate loans, invest in securities, meet our expenses, or fulfill obligations such as repaying our borrowings or meeting deposit withdrawal demands, any of which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, collateralized public funds are bank deposits of state and local municipalities. These deposits are required to be secured by certain investment grade securities or other collateral to ensure repayment, which on the one hand tends to reduce our contingent liquidity risk by making these funds somewhat less credit sensitive, but on the other hand reduces standby liquidity by restricting the potential liquidity of the pledged collateral. Although these funds historically have been a relatively stable source of funds for us, availability depends on the individual municipality's fiscal policies and cash flow needs.

We are subject to interest rate risk.

Our earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon our net interest income. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve. In an attempt to help the overall economy, the Federal Reserve Board has kept interest rates low through its targeted Fed Funds rate. Beginning in December 2016, the Federal Reserve Board has increased the Fed Funds rate by 75 basis points and indicated a likelihood for further increases during 2017 subject to economic conditions. AsWhen the Federal Reserve Board increases the Fed Funds rate, overall interest rates will likely rise, which may negatively impact housing markets by reducing refinancing activity and new home purchases and the U.S. economic recovery. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest we receive on loans and investments and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, but these changes could also affect (i) our ability to originate and/or sell loans (ii) the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities, which could negatively impact shareholders'

equity, and our ability to realize gains from sales of such assets; (iii) our ability to obtain and retain deposits in competition with other available investment alternatives; (iv) the ability of our borrowers to repay adjustable or variable rate loans; and (v) the average duration of our mortgage-backed securities portfolio and other interest-earning assets. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, our net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and other investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings.

Changes in interest rates could also have a negative impact on our results of operations by reducing the ability of borrowers to repay their current loan obligations or by reducing our margins and profitability. Our net interest margin is the difference between the yield we earn on our assets and thenet interest rate we pay for deposits and our other sources of funding.income divided by average interest-earning assets. Changes in interest rates-up or down-could adversely affect our net interest margin and, as a result, our net interest income. Although the yield we earn on our assets and our funding costs tend to move in the same direction in response to changes in interest rates, one can rise or fall faster than the other, causing our net interest margin to expand or contract. Our liabilities tend to be shorter in duration than our assets, so they may adjust faster in response to changes in interest rates. As a result, when interest rates rise, our funding costs may rise faster than the yield we earn on our assets, causing our net interest margin to contract until the yields on interest-earning assets catch up. Changes in the slope of the “yield curve”, or the spread between short-term and long-term interest rates-could also reduce our net interest margin. Normally, the yield curve is upward sloping, meaning short-term rates are lower than long-term rates. Because our liabilities tend to be shorter in duration than our assets, when the yield curve flattens or even inverts, we could experience pressure on our net interest margin as our cost of funds increases relative to the yield we can earn on our assets. Also, interest rate decreases can lead to increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities as

borrowers refinance their loans to reduce borrowing costs. Under these circumstances, we are subject to reinvestment risk as we may have to redeploy such repayment proceeds into lower yielding investments, which would likely hurt our income.

A sustained increase in market interest rates could adversely affect our earnings. As a result of the exceptionally low interest rate environment, an increasing percentage of our deposits have been comprised of deposits bearing no or a relatively low rate of interest and having a shorter duration than our assets. We would incur a higher cost of funds to retain these deposits in a rising interest rate environment. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, our net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affectedaffected.

Changes in interest rates also affect the value of our interest-earning assets, including our securities portfolio. Generally, the fair value of fixed-rate securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are reported as a separate component of equity, net of tax. Decreases in the fair value of securities available for sale resulting from increases in interest rates could have an adverse effect on shareholders’ equity.

Although management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management strategies to reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on our results of operations, any substantial, unexpected or prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Also, our interest rate risk modeling techniques and assumptions likely may not fully predict or capture the impact of actual interest rate changes on our balance sheet. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk,” of this Form 10-K.

Changes in the method of determining the LIBOR or other reference rates may adversely impact the value of loans receivable and other financial instruments we hold that are linked to LIBOR or other reference rates in ways that are difficult to predict and could adversely impact our financial condition or results of operations.

In July 2017, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority announced that the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") will be replaced at the end of 2021. LIBOR is used extensively in the U.S. and globally as a "benchmark" or "reference rate" for various commercial and financial contracts. Although a potential successor to LIBOR has been identified, there are significant conceptual and technical differences between that model and LIBOR. It is not currently possible to determine whether, or to what extent, the replacement of LIBOR will impact the value of any loans, and other financial obligations or extensions of credit we hold or that are due to us, that are linked to LIBOR or other reference rates, or whether, or to what extent, such changes would impact our financial condition or results of operations.

Decreased volumes and lower gains on sales of loans could adversely impact our noninterest income.

We originate and sell one- to four-family mortgage loans. Our mortgage banking income is a significant portion of our noninterest income. We generate gains on the sale of one- to four-family mortgage loans pursuant to programs currently offered by Freddie Mac and other secondary market purchasers.investors. Any future changes in their purchase programs, our eligibility to participate in such programs, the criteria for loans to be accepted or laws that significantly affect the activity of such entities could, in turn, materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Further, in a rising or higher interest rate environment, our originations of mortgage loans may decrease, resulting in fewer loans that are available to be sold to investors. This would result in a decrease in mortgage banking revenues and a corresponding decrease in noninterest income. In addition, our results of operations are affected by the amount of noninterest expense associated with mortgage banking activities, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, equipment and data processing expense and other operating costs. During periods of

reduced loan demand, our results of operations may be adversely affected to the extent that we are unable to reduce expenses commensurate with the decline in loan originations. In addition, although we sell loans into the secondary market without recourse, we are required to give customary representations and warranties about the loans to the buyers. If we breach those representations and warranties, the buyers may require us to repurchase the loans and we may incur a loss on the repurchase.


We are dependent on key personnel and the loss of one or more of those key persons may materially and adversely affect our prospects.

We rely heavily on the efforts and abilities of our executive officers, and certain other key management personnel, which make up our management team. The loss of the services of any of our current management team could have a material adverse impact on our operations because we would most likely have to search outside of First Federal for qualified replacements.operations. The ability to attract, retain and season replacements to our management team presents risks to executing our business plan. The search for new management may be prolonged as our current market area is considered remote. This characteristic may make it more difficult for us to find qualified replacements willing to relocate to a smaller community like ours. Changes in our current management team and their responsibilities may be disruptive to our business and operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. While we believe that our relationship with our management team is good, we cannot guarantee that all members of our management team will remain with our organization.

If we are unable to effectively integrate new personnel hired to carry out our business plan our business may be adversely affected.

We have recently hired a number of experienced bankers, and we expect to hire additional personnel in order to successfully implement our business plan. The difficulties in hiring and training new personnel include integrating personnel with different business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures, while retaining other key employees. The process of integrating personnel could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, our operations and the loss of customers and key personnel. In addition, we may not realize expected revenue increases and other projected benefits from the increased emphasis in these areas. Any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with integrating and growing this portion of our operations could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations or otherwise adversely affect our ability to achieve anticipated results.

Our consideration of whole bank or branch acquisitions in the future may expose us to financial, execution and operational risks that could adversely affect us.

We may evaluate supplementing organic growth by acquiring other financial institutions or their businesses that we believe will help us fulfill our strategic objectives and enhance our earnings. There are risks associated with this strategy, however, including the following:

We may be exposed to potential asset quality issues or unknown or contingent liabilities of the financial institutions, businesses, assets and liabilities we acquire. If these issues or liabilities exceed our estimates, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially negatively affected;
Our growth initiatives may require us to recruit experienced personnel to assist in such initiatives, which will increase our compensation costs. The failure to identify, hire and retain such personnel would place significant limitations on our ability to execute our growth strategy;
Our strategic efforts may divert resources or management’s attention from ongoing business operations and may subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny;
The acquisition of other entities generally requires integration of systems, procedures and personnel of the acquired entity into our company to make the transaction economically successful. This integration process is complicated and time consuming and can also be disruptive to the customers of the acquired business. If the integration process is not conducted successfully, and with minimal effect on the acquired business and its customers, we may not realize the anticipated economic benefits of particular acquisitions within the expected time frame, and we may lose customers or employees of the acquired business. We may also experience greater than anticipated customer losses even if the integration process is successful; and
To finance a future acquisition, we may borrow funds, thereby increasing our leverage and diminishing our liquidity, or raise additional capital, which could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders; and
We expect our income will increase following our acquisitions; however, we also expect our general and administrative expenses to increase.

shareholders.

We operate in a highly competitive industry.

We face substantial competition in all areas of our operations from a variety of different competitors, many of which are larger and may have more financial resources. These competitors primarily include national, regional and Internetdigital banks within the various markets in which we operate. We also face competition from many other types of financial institutions, including savings and loans, credit unions, mortgage banking finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies and other financial intermediaries. The financial services industry could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and continued consolidation. Also, technology has lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for nonbanks to offer products and services traditionally provided by banks, such as automatic transfer and automatic payment systems. Competitors in these nonbank sectors may have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost structures. Additionally, due to their size, many competitors may be able to achieve economies of scale and, as a result, may offer a broader range of products and services as well as better pricing for those products and services than we can.

Failure to perform in any of these areas could significantly weaken our competitive position, which could adversely affect our growth and profitability and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We participate in a multiple employer defined benefit pension plan for the benefit of our employees. If we were to withdraw from this plan, or if the plan sponsor requires us to make additional contributions, we could incur a substantial expense which would negatively impact our earnings.

We participate in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions, a multiple employer pension plan for the benefit of our employees. Effective February 1, 2006, we did not allow additional employees to participate in this plan. On January 31, 2010, we froze the future accrual of benefits under this plan with respect to participating employees. Pentegra, as sponsor of the plan, may request that we make additional contributions to the plan in excess of the contributions that we are regularly required to make, or obtain a letter of credit in favor of the plan, if our financial condition declines to the point that it triggers certain criteria contained in the plan. If we fail to make the contribution or obtain the requested letter of credit, then we may be forced to withdraw from the plan and establish a separate, single employer defined benefit plan at a substantial expense to us and that we anticipate would be underfunded to a similar extent as under the multiple employer plan.

Non-compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act, Bank Secrecy Act, or other laws and regulations could result in fines or sanctions and limit our ability to get regulatory approval of acquisitions and new branches.

The USA PATRIOT and Bank Secrecy Acts require financial institutions to develop programs to prevent financial institutions from being used for money laundering and terrorist activities. If such activities are detected, financial institutions are obligated to file suspicious activity reports with the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. These rules require financial institutions to establish procedures for identifying and verifying the identity of customers seeking to open new financial accounts. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in fines or sanctions and limit our ability to get regulatory approval of acquisitions and new branch locations. Several banking institutions have received large fines for non-compliance with these laws and regulations. While we have developed policies and procedures designed to assist in compliance with these laws and regulations, no assurance can be given that these policies and procedures will be effective in preventing violations of these laws and regulations.

We operate in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations.

We are subject to extensive examination, supervision and comprehensive regulation by the Federal Reserve, the FDIC as insurer of our deposits, and by the DFI. As a bank holding company, First Northwest Bancorp is subject to examinationregulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve.Reserve (as a bank holding company) and regulation by the State of Washington (as a Washington corporation). The Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the FDIC and the DFI. Such regulation and supervision governsgovern the activities in which we may engage, primarily for the protection of depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund. These regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the ability to impose restrictions on an institution’s operations, require additional capital, reclassify assets, determine the adequacy of an institution’s allowance for loan losses and

determine the level of deposit insurance premiums assessed. Any future changes to the laws, rules and regulations applicable to us could make compliance more difficult and expensive, or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition or prospects.


We are also subject to tax, accounting, securities, insurance, monetary laws and regulations, rules, standards, policies, and interpretations that control the methods by which financial institutions conduct business. These may change significantly over time, which could materially impact our business and have a significant adverse effect on our cost of regulatory compliance and results of operations. Further, changes in accounting standards and their interpretation may materially impact how we report, potentially retroactively, our financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in federal policy and at regulatory agencies are expected to occur over time through policy and personnel changes, which could lead to changes involving the level of oversight and focus on the financial services industry. The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agenciesnature, timing, and economic and political effects of potential changes to adoptthe current legal and implement a broad range of newregulatory framework affecting financial institutions remain highly uncertain. If changes to laws, rules andand/or regulations for which they are given significant discretion in drafting and implementation. Consequently, many of the details and impact of the Dodd-Frank Act are not known, and it is difficult at this time to predict when or how these new standards will ultimately be appliedapplicable to us or, specifically, what impactare made, such changes could offset the Dodd-Frank Act will have on community banksotherwise anticipated increase in general. It is expected that, at a minimum, rules related to the Dodd-Frank Act will increase our operating and compliance costs and could increase our non-interest expense.(included in noninterest expense); however, no assurance can be given as to whether such changes will occur or what may result from such changes.

The CFPB, which was created under the Dodd-Frank Act, has issued, and continues to issue, rules related to consumer protection, including The Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act Integrated Disclosure (TRID), which combines certain disclosures that consumers receive in connection with applying for and closing a mortgage loan. These CFPB rules, most of which thus far have pertained to mortgage originations, including rules generally prohibiting creditors from extending mortgage loans without regard for the consumer's ability to repay, may adversely affect the volume of mortgage loans that we underwrite and subject us to increased potential liabilities related to such residential loan origination activities. The CFPB has adopted a number of additional requirements and issued additional guidance, including with respect to indirect auto lending, appraisals, escrow accounts and servicing, each of which willmay entail increased compliance costs.

We are subject to certain risks in connection with our use of technology.

Our security measures may not be sufficient to mitigate the risk of a cyber-attack. Communications and information systems are essential to the conduct of our business, as we use such systems to manage our customer relationships, our general ledger and virtually all other aspects of our business. Our operations rely on the secure processing, storage, and transmission of confidential and other information in our computer systems and networks. Although we take protective measures and endeavor to modify them as circumstances warrant, the security of our computer systems, software, and networks may be vulnerable to breaches, unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses, or other malicious code and cyber-attacks that could have a security impact. If one or more of these events occur, this could jeopardize our or our customers’ confidential and other information processed and stored in, and transmitted through, our computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in our operations or the operations of our customers or counterparties. We may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify our protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures, and we may be subject to litigation and financial losses that are either not insured against or not fully covered through any insurance maintained by us. We could also suffer significant reputational damage.

We support the ability of our customers to transact business through multiple automated methods. As such, we may be susceptible to fraud performed through these technologies.

Security breaches in our Internet banking activities could further expose us to possible liability and damage our reputation. Any compromise of our security also could deter customers from using our internetInternet banking services that involve the transmission of confidential information. We rely on standard internetInternet security systems to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect secure transmission of data. These precautions may not protect our systems from compromises or breaches of our security measures and could result in significant legal liability and significant damage to our reputation and our business.

Our security measures may not protect us from systems failures or interruptions. While we have established policies and procedures to prevent or limit the impact of systems failures and interruptions, there can be no assurance that such events will not occur or that they will be adequately addressed if they do. In addition, we outsource certain aspects of our data processing and other operational functions to certain third-party providers. If our third-party providers encounter difficulties, or if we have difficulty in communicating with them, our ability to

adequately process and account for transactions could be affected, and our business operations could be adversely impacted. Threats to information security also exist in the processing of customer information through various other vendors and their personnel.


The occurrence of any failures or interruptions may require us to identify alternative sources of such services, and we cannot assure that we could negotiate terms that are as favorable to us, or could obtain services with similar functionality as found in our existing systems without the need to expend substantial resources, if at all. Further, the occurrence of any systems failure or interruption could damage our reputation and result in a loss of customers and business, could subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or could expose us to legal liability. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our business may be adversely affected by an increasing prevalence of fraud and other financial crimes.

Our loans to businesses and individuals and our deposit relationships and related transactions are subject to exposure to the risk of loss due to fraud and other financial crimes. Nationally, reported incidents of fraud and other financial crimes have increased, and while we have policies and procedures designed to prevent such losses, there can be no assurance that we will not incur such losses.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General
First Northwest Bancorp (or the "Company") is a bank holding company which primarily engages in the business activity of its subsidiary, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles ("First Federal" or the "Bank").Federal. First Federal is a community-oriented financial institution serving Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, Whatcom, and King counties ofin Washington, through its twelve banking locations.Seattle lending center and ten full service branches. We offer a wide range of products and services focused on the lending and depository needs of the communities we serve. While we have a large concentration of first lien one- to four-family mortgage loans, we have increased our origination of commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, and construction loans, and have increased our auto and consumer loans, including through indirect auto lending and purchased auto loan programs, in order to diversify our portfolio and increase interest income. We continue to originate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and may sell conforming loans into the secondary market to increase noninterest income and improve our interest rate risk or retain select loans in our portfolio to enhance interest income. We offer traditional consumer and business deposit products, including transaction accounts, savings and money market accounts and certificates of deposit for individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations. Deposits are our primary source of funds for our lending and investing activities.


First Federal is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, available alternative investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles.

Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income which is the income that we earnearned on our loans and investments and interest expense which is the interest that we paypaid on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services, including service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage banking income, earnings from bank-owned life insurance, and gains and losses from sales of securities.

An offset to net interest income is the provision for loan losses, which represents the periodic charge to operations which is required to adequately provide for probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio.portfolio through our allowance for loan losses. As a loan's risk rating improves, property values increase, or recoveries of amounts previously charged off are received, a recapture of previously recognized provision for loan losses may be added to net interest income.

The noninterest expenses we incur in operating our business consist of salaries and employee benefits and expenses,benefit costs, occupancy and equipment expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments, data processing expenses, advertising and promotion expenses, expenses related to real estate and personal property owned and other miscellaneous expenses.


Our Business and Operating Strategy
Our operating strategy is focused on diversifying our loan portfolio, expanding our deposit product offerings, and enhancing our infrastructure. Certain highlights of our operations in recent years are as follows:

Expanding our footprint. Over the past four years, weWe have opened threefour new full-service branches in Silverdale, Bellingham, and Bellingham,Bainbridge Island, Washington and a Home Lending Center (“HLC”)lending center in Seattle, Washington. Through these new locations, we have realized growth in deposits and expanded our ability to secure customer relationships and lending opportunities outside of our historic market areas in the North Olympic Peninsula. As part of our planned expansion into new markets, we have secured a lease agreement for a full-service branch located in Bainbridge Island, Washington which is expected to open by January 31, 2018. This new branch will offer similar deposit, lending, and investment products and services as other branch locations and willWe utilize interactive teller machines, asand we continue to expand our operations throughexplore the use of technology.technology as a way to expand our footprint and provide meaningful services to our customers.
Repositioning the loan portfolio. Over the past five years, weWe have significantly increased the origination of commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, and construction and land loans.loans as well as increased our portfolio of auto loans through our indirect auto lending program and our purchased auto loan program. This has been done to increase the yield on our loan portfolio, reduce our exposure to interest rate risk, and shorten the maturity of theour loan portfolio.
Adding new deposit capabilities. In addition to traditional consumer and business deposit products, we offer remote deposit capture, consumer and business on-line banking, consumer and business mobile banking, and have recently upgraded our commercial on-line banking capabilities in order to attract more business deposit customers.capabilities. At our new branch locations in Silverdale, Bainbridge Island, and Bellingham, Washington, and at our main administrative building and downtown locations in Port Angeles, Washington, we have implemented interactive teller machines, allowing our customers to conduct business with a teller through a video monitor. We remain committed to maintaining competitive deposit products and services.
Enhancing our infrastructure. Over the past several years, weWe have focused on upgrading our infrastructure, both in terms of equipment and personnel, in order to support our changing lending and deposit capabilities and position ourselves for growth.

Our objective is to develop First Federal intocontinue to be an independent, high performing bank focused on meeting the needs of individuals, small businesses and community organizations throughout our market areas with our exceptional service and competitive products. We intend to implement these strategies to achieve our objective:

Increasing our portfolio of higher yielding commercial loans. Through increased loan originations and purchases, we intend to increase our loan to deposit ratio and the percentage of our loan portfolio consisting of higher-yielding commercial real estate and commercial business loans. These loan categories offer higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations than

traditional fixed-rate, one- to four-family residential loans. Our commercial and multifamily real estate and

commercial business and multi-family real estate loans have increased from $138.7$354.5 million, or 30.3%40.8% of total loans, at June 30, 2013,December 31, 2018, to $277.2$393.4 million, or 37.7%44.5% of total loans, at June 30, 2017.December 31, 2019. The increase resulted in part from developing relationships with new loan referral sources, including our boardBoard of directorsDirectors and loan brokers, pursuing loan purchase and participation opportunities, competing successfully in new and existing markets, and benefiting from the improvement of the economy in northwestern Washington.
Increasing our portfolio of auto and other loans. We actively participate in an indirect lending program with auto dealerships within the markets where we have branch locations. We also purchase auto loans from a company that underwrites high-end and classic auto loans for borrowers with exemplary credit, which are typically longer duration but have had historically low loss rates. We have seen losses in the indirect auto loan portfolio over the past year and as a result have changed our underwriting criteria, rate, and fee structure for that program. While balances in the indirect auto loan portfolio have declined as a result of those changes, we continue to emphasize growth in our auto loan purchase program. We believe that effectively growing and managing our auto lending program will help to increase interest income, shorten maturities, and manage interest rate risk. We also increasedintend to increase our home equity line of credit lending for construction and landother consumer loans consisting primarily of commercial real estate and multi-family construction. Our construction and land loans have increased to $71.6 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $15.5 million at June 30, 2013.through digital platforms over the next two years.
Maintaining our focus on asset quality. We believe that strong asset quality is a key to our long-term financial success. We are focused on monitoring existing performing loans, resolving nonperforming loans, and selling foreclosed assets. Nonperforming assets have decreased from $12.1were $1.8 million at June 30, 2013, toDecember 31, 2018 and $2.0 million at June 30, 2017. The level of our nonperforming assets has been reduced through write-downs, collections, modifications, and sales of real estate owned and repossessed assets.December 31, 2019. We have taken proactive steps to resolve our nonperforming loans, including negotiating repayment plans, forbearances, loan modifications and loan extensions with our borrowers when appropriate. We have also accepted short payoffs on delinquent loans, particularly when such payoffs result in a smaller loss to us than foreclosure. We also retain the services of independent firms to periodically review segments of our loan portfolio and provide comments regarding our loan policies and procedures.
Attracting core deposits and other deposit products. Our strategy is to emphasize relationship banking with our customers to obtain a greater share of their deposits, with specific emphasis on their core transaction accounts. We believe this emphasis will help to increase our level of core deposits and locally-based retail certificates of deposit. In addition to our retail branches, we maintain state-of-the-art technology-based products, such as on-line personal financial management, business online banking, business remote deposit products, mobile remote deposit services through smartphones and tablets, account-to-account transfer services between First Federal and other banks, and person to person funds transfer through smartphones and tablets that enable us to compete effectively with banks of all sizes. We enhanced our integrated mobile banking platform by introducing applications for both smartphones and tablets, upgraded our business on-line banking platform, and extended banking hours through the use of interactive teller machines.
Expanding our market presence and capturing business opportunities resulting from changes in the competitive environment. By delivering high quality, customer-focused products and services, we believe we can attract additional borrowers and depositors and thus increase our market share and revenue generation in our primary market area.areas. We intend to continue our franchise growth by opening new branch locations, and we also expect that community bank consolidation will continue to take place and may consider acquiring individual branches or other banks. We do not, however, currently have any understandings or agreements regarding any specific acquisitions and will be disciplined when evaluating and deciding on future acquisitions, recognizing that there may also be opportunity for increasing our market share as a result of customer dissatisfaction from other transactions or changes in strategy of market competitors. Our primary focus for expansion will be in northwestern Washington, markets we know and understand, although we may consider opportunities that arise in other parts of Western Washington.
Hiring experienced employees with a customer sales and service focus. Our goal is to compete by relying on the strength of our customer service and relationship building. We believe that our ability to continue to attract and retain banking professionals who have a significant knowledge of existing and new market areas, possess strong business banking sales and service skills, and maintain a focus on community relationships will enhance our success. We intend to hire additional lenders and business development officers who are established in their communities to enhance our market position and add profitable growth opportunities.
Improving our online presence and streamlining the customer experience. We strive for our customers to have an online banking experience that is streamlined and user-friendly. By investing in and improving on the interfaces that connect customers to our products and services, we believe we will be in a better position to compete and grow in an environment that is becoming increasingly technology-driven. We intend to invest in our online presence and engage in digital strategies that will help us to successfully compete in an ever-changing digital marketplace. In 2019, the Company committed to fund $3.0 million in

an investment to identify and infuse capital into certain promising digital companies for which we may have an interest to use their services at some future date. This commitment includes management participation in meetings and events that we feel will benefit us when making decisions regarding digital services offerings and customer engagement.
Exploring alternative lending opportunities to improve interest income. We strive to grow the balance sheet and leverage capital in a safe and sound manner and believe that lending opportunities outside of organic originations may be a valuable source of interest income. We have engaged with Northpointe Bank to participate in the interim financing for mortgage originators during the year and have increased our auto loan portfolio significantly as a result of our partnership involving the purchase of loans made to borrowers purchasing high-end automobiles and classic cars. We intend to continue to explore opportunities such as these as a means to improve net income and supplement organic originations.



Critical Accounting Policies

We have certain accounting policies that are important to the assessment of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

The following represent our critical accounting policies:

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are: the likelihood of default; the loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash flows on impaired loans; the value of collateral; and the determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Management reviews, and the boardBoard of directorsDirectors approves, at least quarterly, the level of the allowance and the provision for loan losses based on past loss experience, current economic conditions and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the FDIC and the DFI, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgment about information available at the time of their examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions for loan losses to replenish the allowance, which would adversely affect earnings. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Mortgage Servicing Rights. We record mortgage servicing rights on loans originated and subsequently sold into the secondary market. We stratify our capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the type, term and interest rates of the underlying loans. Mortgage servicing rights are initially recognized at fair value. The value is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis, which uses interest rates, prepayment speeds and delinquency rate assumptions as inputs. All of these assumptions require a significant degree of management judgment. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, the value of our mortgage servicing rights could be negatively affected. See Notes 1 and 6 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

Income Taxes. Management makes estimates and judgments to calculate certain tax liabilities and to determine the recoverability of certain deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenues and expenses. We also estimate a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. These estimates and judgments are inherently subjective. In evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, recent cumulative losses - both capital and operating - and the forecast of future taxable income, both capital gains and operating. In determining future taxable income, management makes

assumptions for the amount of taxable income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require judgments about future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates to manage our business. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period and could have a significant impact on future earnings.

Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets. Real estate owned and repossessed assets include real estate and personal property acquired through foreclosure or repossession, and may include in-substance foreclosed properties. In-substance foreclosed properties are those properties for which the institution has taken physical possession, regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have taken place. At the time of foreclosure, foreclosed real estate is recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new cost basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and property held for sale is carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Impairment losses on property to be held and used are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a property exceeds its fair value.

Fair Value. Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.

Our allowance for loan losses increased $95,000, or 1.0%, during the year ended December 31, 2019, mainly the result of loan growth, and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.1% at both December 31, 2019 and 2018. There was no material change in our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans during the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to 2018 due to continued stable asset quality year over year. We believe our allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover inherent losses in the loan portfolio.

Nonperforming loans decreased $1.4 million,increased a modest $73,000, or 42.4%4.2%, to $1.9 million at June 30, 2017, from $3.3 million at June 30, 2016. Duringduring the year ended June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019. This increase was mainly the result of increases in nonperforming one- to four-family residential loans decreased $1.4 million,auto and other consumer loans decreased $91,000, construction and land loans decreased $63,000, and commercial real estate loans decreased $48,000. These decreases wereof $603,000, partially offset by an increasedeclines in other loan categories, mainly a decrease in nonperforming home equity loans of $231,000.$257,000 and commercial business loans of $173,000. Increased nonperforming loans in auto and other consumer loans is mainly attributable to our indirect auto lending program, which has resulted in a higher number of loan defaults. As a result, during 2019 we changed our underwriting criteria, rate, and fee structure for that program with the intention of improving income earned on these loans and lessening our risk of future losses. Depending on the results of those changes, we may consider discontinuation of this program in favor of other lending opportunities.

The year over year increase was the result of prepayments, calls,new investment purchases, partially offset by sales, prepayment activity, and normal amortization during the year. The estimated average life of the total investment securities portfolio was 5.0 years, and the average repricing term was approximately 3.7 years as of December 31, 2019, based on the interest rate environment at that time.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, all held to maturity investments were marked as available for sale in order to provide greater flexibility to navigate changes to the portfolio as market conditions change or business needs may warrant, particularly as it relates to the sale of investments.

While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income of $6.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2017 was stable when compared to the prior year, with the absence of any gain on sale of investment securities during 2017 compared to $1.6 million last year, offset by the death benefit received from bank-owned life insurance related to the death of a former Bank executive, and increases in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance and gain on sale of loans in 2017. The $587,000 increase in the cash surrender value of BOLI was primarily a result of increased returns on the policies underlying BOLI and an increase to the BOLI asset of $10.0 million due to the purchase of additional BOLI. The increase in net gain on sale of loans was primarily the result of an increase in the sale of one- to four

family residential loans reflecting an increase in our origination of loans held for sale. In addition, other income decreased $232,000, primarily due to additional income received in 2016 related to the dissolution of our Craft3 subsidiary.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.9 million, or 6.8%, to $29.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2017, compared to $27.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, primarily as a result of a $2.7 million increase in compensation and benefits, partially offset by the absence of $1.2 million in FHLB prepayment penalties during the year. The increase in compensation and benefits expense was partially attributable to stock awards issued during the year ended June 30, 2017 as part of our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which will be expensed over a five year vesting period, and resulted in additional compensation and benefits of $977,000 as compared to the same period in 2016. In addition to rewarding our staff and management for performance through incentive programs and sales commissions reflected by our growth since June 30, 2016, the opening of our HLC located in Seattle, Washington, and our newest branch in Bellingham, Washington have significantly contributed to our increased compensation and benefits and occupancy and equipment expense during the year as compared to 2016. Professional fees decreased $342,000 as compared to the prior year as we continued to improve our processes performed as a public company during the year. Real estate owned and repossessed assets expenses were minimal at $17,000 for the year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to income of $307,000 in the prior year, due primarily to the sale of a commercial real estate owned property and a $108,000 decline in real estate owned write-downs. Other noninterest expense increased $243,000, primarily as a result of increased expenses related to loan and deposit products and other organizational expenses. We expect increased noninterest expenses as we continue to grow and expand into new markets.

Provision for Income Tax. An income tax expense of $1.7 million was recorded for the year ended June 30, 2017 compared to an income tax expense of $1.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2016.

The increase in the portfolio was primarily the result of an increase of $51.8 million, or 20.2%, of one- to four-family residential loans to $308.5 million at June 30, 2016 from $256.7 million at June 30, 2015, the result of originations of $51.3 million and purchases of $55.1 million, partially offset by normal repayment and amortization activity. One- to four-family loan pool purchases consisted primarily of jumbo loans located in Washington and California. In addition, we participated in a multi-family construction loan secured by a property located in Washington for $4.0 million. Commercial real estate loans increased $35.6 million, or 28.3%, to $161.2 million at June 30, 2016 from $125.6 million at June 30, 2015, multi-family loans increased $13.0 million, or 39.3%, to $46.1 million at June 30, 2016 from $33.1 million at June 30, 2015, and commercial business loans increased $2.2 million, or 14.9%, to $16.9 million at June 30, 2016 from $14.8 million at June 30, 2015, as we continue to focus on increasing our commercial lending activity. Construction and land loans increased $31.2 million, or 163.2%, to $50.4 million at June 30, 2016 from $20.5 million at June 30, 2015. There were $29.9 million in undisbursed construction commitments at June 30, 2016 compared to $7.9 million at June 30, 2015. Undisbursed construction commitments at June 30, 2016 included $7.9 million of mainly custom one- to four-family residential construction; $12.5 million multi-family construction located in the Puget Sound region; and $9.5 million commercial real estate construction consisting of $5.5 million of speculative construction and other commercial real estate located primarily in the Puget Sound region. These increases were offset by a decrease in total consumer loans of $1.7 million, or 3.8%, to $42.9 million at June 30, 2016 from $44.6 million at June 30, 2015, primarily the result of a reduction of $2.5 million, or 6.8% in home equity loans. We continue to reduce our reliance on purchased commercial and multi-family real estate loans and focus on organic growth in these portfolios of loans; however, we do continue to evaluate loan purchases and participations to supplement our loan growth and increase our yield on interest earning assets. We continue to focus on increasing our loan balances as a percentage of earning assets.

During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company originated $217.0 million of loans, of which $78.1 million, or 36.0%, were originated in the North Olympic Peninsula, $122.8 million, or 56.6%, in the Puget Sound region of Washington, and $16.1 million, or 7.4%, in other areas in Washington.

Our allowance for loan losses increased $128,000, or 1.8%, to $7.2 million at June 30, 2016 from $7.1 million at June 30, 2015, and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans declined 20 basis points from 1.4% at June 30, 2015, to 1.2% at June 30, 2016. The slight increase in the allowance for loan losses and decrease as a percentage of total loans reflects both the increase in our loan portfolio and improving asset quality as nonperforming loans, classified loans, and net charge-offs decreased during the year.

Nonperforming loans decreased $1.6 million, or 32.7%, to $3.3 million at June 30, 2016, from $4.9 million at June 30, 2015. During the year ended June 30, 2016, nonperforming one- to four-family residential loans decreased $1.8 million, construction and land loans decreased $68,000, other consumer loans decreased $52,000, and home equity loans decreased $14,000, partially offset by a $327,000 increase in nonperforming commercial real estate loans. Nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 0.5% at June 30, 2016 from 1.0% at June 30, 2015, and real estate owned and repossessed assets decreased $1.8 million to $81,000 at June 30, 2016, from $1.9 million at June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of sales of one- to four-family real estate.

At June 30, 2016, total investment securities decreased $36.7 million, or 10.2%, to $323.9 million at June 30, 2016, from $360.6 million at June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of prepayments, calls, sales, and normal amortization during the year. Mortgage-backed securities represent the largest portion of our investment securities portfolio and totaled $223.9 million at June 30, 2016, a decrease of $6.4 million, or 2.8%, from $230.3 million at June 30, 2015. Other investment securities, including municipal bonds and other asset-backed securities, were $100.0 million at June 30, 2016, a decrease of $30.3 million, or 23.2% from $130.2 million at June 30, 2015.During the year, we sold available-for-sale securities at a net gain, primarily to offset prepayment penalties on the early repayment of our FHLB advances, and reinvested a portion of the cash proceeds into certain U.S. Treasury and

government agency issued securities and mortgage-backed securities. The average life of the total investment securities portfolio was 4.2 years at June 30, 2016 and 4.7 years at June 30, 2015. The investment portfolio contains 85.1% of amortizing securities at June 30, 2016, and the projected average life of our securities may vary due to prepayment activity, which, particularly in the mortgage-backed securities portfolio, is generally affected by changing interest rates. Management continues to focus on improving the mix of earning assets by originating loans and decreasing securities as a percentage of earning assets; however, we will continue to purchase investment securities as a source of interest income in lieu of carrying higher cash balances at nominal interest rates. For additional information, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $74.2 million, or 10.0%, to $820.4 million at June 30, 2016, from $746.1 million at June 30, 2015. This increase was primarily the result of deposit account balances increasing $76.1 million, or 11.8%, to $723.3 million at June 30, 2016, from $647.2 million at June 30, 2015. Transaction, savings, and money market account deposits increased $65.0 million, or 13.0%, to $564.2 million at June 30, 2016 from $499.2 million at June 30, 2015, including an increase in personal and business transaction accounts of $19.1 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Certificates of deposit increased $11.2 million, or 7.6%, during this period. Increases in deposits were primarily the result of targeted promotional efforts on money market and certificates of deposits in new and existing market areas.

Borrowings, consisting primarily of long term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, decreased $9.4 million, or 10.4%, to $80.7 million at June 30, 2016 from $90.0 million at June 30, 2015. During the year, $30.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank long term advances were repaid, and the Company offset prepayment penalties on the early repayment of these advances with the gain on sale of investment securities. Total borrowings at June 30, 2016 consisted of $60.0 million long term advances and $20.7 million of short term overnight advances from the FHLB.

Equity. Total shareholders' equity decreased $940,000, or 0.5%, to $189.7 million at June 30, 2016, from $190.7 million at June 30, 2015. The decrease was the result of a decrease of $5.5 million related to the repurchase of shares for future issuance under the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, and a decrease of $576,000 related to the purchase in the open market and allocation of ESOP shares, offset by net income of $4.0 million and an increase in the unrealized market value of available for sale securities of $1.1 million, net of tax, during the year ended June 30, 2016.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015

General. The Company had net income for the year ended June 30, 2016 of $4.0 million, or $0.33 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $9.1 million, or 178.4%. The net loss during the year ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to the Company contributing $400,000 in cash and $9.3 million in common stock to the First Federal Community Foundation (the "Foundation"), resulting in a pre-tax noninterest expense charge of $9.7 million.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $4.5 million to $27.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, from $22.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2015. This increase was the result of an increase in interest income related to increased average volume of loans receivable and increases in both the average volume and average yield earned on investment and mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by an increase in interest expense due primarily to the higher average cost of deposits.

The net interest margin increased 19 basis points to 2.98% for the year ended June 30, 2016, from 2.79% for the fiscal year June 30, 2015. The net interest margin increased due primarily to an increase in the average balance of total loans receivable earning higher yields compared to cash and investment alternatives, as well as an increase in both the average balance and the average yield of investment and mortgage-backed securities. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits in banks decreased $32.9 million, while the average balance of investments and mortgage-backed securities increased $91.8 million, and the average balance of net loans receivable increased $45.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 compared to last year.

Of the $4.5 million increase in net interest income during the year ended June 30, 2016 compared to fiscal year June 30, 2015, $3.8 million was the result of an increase in volume, $2.0 million and $1.8 million of which was due to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable and investment and mortgage-backed securities, respectively, and $733,000 was due to an increase in rates, of which $1.2 million was attributable to an increase in yields on investment and mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by a $385,000 decline in average loan rates.

The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 0.71% for the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to 0.70% for the prior fiscal year, due primarily to an increase of seven basis points in the average rate paid on customer deposits, which offset a 17 basis point decline in the average cost of borrowings compared to the prior year.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased $4.7 million, or 17.1%, to $32.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 from $27.5 million for the comparable period in 2015. Interest income increased primarily due to increases in the average balance and yield on investment and mortgage-backed securities and, to a lesser extent, the increase in the average balance of loans receivable. Interest income on loans receivable increased $1.7 million, to $23.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 from $22.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, due to an increase in the average balance of net loans receivable of $45.2 million during the year. Average loan yields decreased eight basis points compared to the year ended June 30, 2015, as higher yielding loans continued to pay off and were replaced with loans at lower interest rates.

Interest income on investment securities increased $1.2 million to $3.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, due to a $29.2 million increase in the average balance of investment securities to $118.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 compared to $88.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, and an increase in the average yield of 54 basis points compared to the prior year, due primarily to investments purchased at higher yields.

Interest income on mortgage-backed and related securities increased $1.8 million, primarily due to an increase of 23 basis points in average yields to 2.14% for the year ended June 30, 2016 from 1.91% for the year ended June 30, 2015, due primarily to investments purchased with higher yields and an increase in the average balance of $62.5 million compared to the prior year.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $178,000, or 3.9%, to $4.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to $4.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to an increase in deposit costs of $500,000, or 30.0%, during the year. Deposit costs increased for the year ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year primarily due to higher average balances and an increase in rates paid on money market accounts and certificates of deposit as the result of targeted promotional efforts in new and existing market areas. The cost of money market accounts increased $173,000 due to an increase in the average balance of $23.1 million and an increase in the average rate paid of five basis points, and the cost of certificates of deposit increased $325,000 due to an increase in the average balance of $12.2 million and an increase in the average rate paid of 14 basis points. These deposit cost increases were partially offset by a $322,000, or 11%, decline in borrowing costs, as higher cost, long-term FHLB deposits were repaid during the year.

The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $17.1 million, or 3.0%, to $582.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 from $565.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2015. Increases in the average balances of money market accounts and certificates of deposit were partially offset by decreases in the average balance of transaction accounts of $6.0 million and savings accounts of $12.2 million. The average cost of all deposit products increased to 0.37% for the year ended June 30, 2016 from 0.30% for the year ended June 30, 2015. Borrowing costs

declined to $2.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 from $2.9 million for the last fiscal year primarily due to the early repayment of $30.0 million of long term, higher cost FHLB advances.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $233,000 during the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to none for the year ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to increases in the balances and changes in the mix of loans receivable in our portfolio, partially offset by decreases related to a decline in nonaccruing and classified loans and improvements in net-charge offs during the year.

Noninterest Income.

Thereceivable and gain on sale of investment securities was mainly intended to offset FHLB prepayment penalties on advances that were repaid prior to maturity during the year. Reduced gain on sale of loans was attributable to a reductioninvestments in loan sales activity in the fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal year 2015 as we retained most of our longer-term, fixed-rate mortgage loan originations as part of our efforts to increase net interest margin while staying consistent with our management of interest rate risk. We expect to increase our originations of one- to four-family residential loans held for sale as we begin operations at our Home Lending Center in Seattle, Washington during the first six months of 2017.2019.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $5.1 million,increased $260,000, or 15.6%0.8%, to $27.9$33.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2016,December 31, 2019, compared to $33.0$32.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2015. This decrease in noninterest expense wasDecember 31, 2018, primarily due to the $9.7 million fundinga prepayment penalty taken as a result of the Foundation, which contributedearly repayment of certain long-term borrowings at FHLB during the year. In addition, our occupancy and equipment and regulatory assessments and state taxes increased due to total charitable contributions of $9.9 million for the fiscal year 2015. We also saw a decline in expensesour growth and costs related to real estate owned and repossessed assetsthe examination of $472,000First Federal by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional fees, primarily legal expenses, and a decrease in our FDIC insurance premiums of $120,000. These declines in noninterest expense were partially offset by increases in compensation and benefits of $1.8 million primarily reflecting salary and wage adjustments, increased staffing and higher benefit costs; professional fees of $694,000; and occupancy, equipment, depreciation and amortization of $434,000, as we continueddue to grow our franchise through opening of new branch offices and develop our personnel and infrastructure to better position ourselvesa credit for the future. The increaseoverpayment of insurance fees in professional fees reflects expenses relating to doing business as a public company. Prepayment penalties on FHLB advances were $1.2 million during the year, offset by the net gain on the sale of securities, as we paid down higher cost, long term FHLB advances during the year and continued to strive to reduce FHLB advances and utilize deposit growth as our main source of funding for new loan originations. We expect increased noninterest expenses related to the opening and operations of our second branch in Bellingham, Washington and Home Lending Center in Seattle, Washington, which we anticipate will occur during the first six months of fiscal 2017.prior periods.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presentstables present the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and due to the changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk

Risk Management Overview. Managing risk is an essential part of successfully managing a financial institution. Our Enterprise Risk Management committeeCommittee reports key risk indicators to the boardBoard of directorsDirectors through the Audit Committee. The most prominent risk exposures management monitors are: strategic, credit, interest rate, liquidity, operational, compliance, reputational and legal risk. We utilize the services of outside firms to assist us in our asset and liability management and our analysis of market risk.

Interest Rate Risk Management. We manage the interest rate sensitivity of interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment. Except for certain adjustable-rate investment securities, home equity lines of credit, and commercial real estate loans that are tied to the prime rate, the twelve month constant maturity treasury, or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), deposit accounts typically reprice more quickly in response to changes in market interest rates than mortgage loans because of their shorter maturities. As a result, sharpSharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect earnings.earnings when deposit and borrowing costs change more quickly than cash flows from fixed-rate investments and loans can be reinvested at higher rates. Typically, decreases in interest rates beneficially affect our earnings in the short term but with the Federal Reserve Board maintaining the federal funds rate near zerowhen fixed-rate interest-earning assets stay at higher interest rates longer than it takes for a prolonged period,deposit and borrowing costs to reset lower. However, decreases in interest rates adversely affect earnings due to prepayments and refinancing associated with loans and investment securities, particularly consumer and one- to four-family residential loans and MBS securities

with no prepayment restrictions, which are then reinvested ininto lower yielding assets, reducing interest income. In contrast, First Federal has little or no long-term ability to reduce funding costs associated with deposits and borrowings.

We currently do not participate in hedging programs, interest rate swaps or other activities involving the use of derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. Management uses an interest rate sensitivity analysis to review our level of interest rate risk. This analysis measures interest rate risk by computing changes in the present value of our cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The present value of equity is equal to the market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. This analysis assesses the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments in the event of a sudden and sustained 100 to 300 basis point increase or a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates with no effect given to any future steps that management might take to counter the impact of that interest rate movement. The following table presents the change in the present value of First Federal’s equity at June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, that would occur in the event of an immediate change in interest rates based on management’smanagement's assumptions.

Assumptions made by management relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others. As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets have features, such as rate caps or floors, which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.



Liquidity Management

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term and long-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities and borrowings from the FHLB. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are usually predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and borrowed funds, and prepayments on loans and investment securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition, which can cause those sources of funds to fluctuate.

Management regularly adjusts our investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and objectives of our interest-rate risk and investment policies.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents followed by available for sale securities. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents totaled $24.3$48.7 million, and securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional potential sources of liquidity, withhad a market value of $228.6 million at June 30, 2017.$315.6 million. We have pledged collateral to support borrowings from the FHLB of $77.4$112.9 million and have established a borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, for which no collateral hashad been pledged as of June 30, 2017.December 31, 2019.

At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, we had $670,000$101,000 in loan commitments outstanding and an additional $68.0$88.4 million in undisbursed loans, including undisbursed construction commitments, and standby letters of credit.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 totaled $106.4$241.1 million, or 50.3%78.2% of certificates of deposit. The large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers' hesitancy to invest their funds for longer periods at historically lowas interest rates.rates have begun to rise, and the flattening of the yield curve has meant insufficient returns to lock in rates for longer terms. Management believes, based on past experience, that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will be renewed or rolled into new certificates of deposit given the current rate environment; however, should rates fall and remain at lower levels, there will likely be a shift back to more liquid money market accounts.accounts over time. If these maturing deposits are not renewed or rolled into other deposit products, however, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of depositwhich may include borrowings and borrowings.brokered deposits. We also have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.offered, including the offering of promotional rates on certificates of deposit to encourage the renewal or rollover of maturing certificates of deposit and mitigate the risk of loss of these deposits to our competitors. Depending on market conditions, we may also be required to pay higher rates on suchborrowings or brokered deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on standard certificates of deposit. In addition, wedeposit or promotional rate offerings. We believe that our branch network, and the general cash flows from our existing lending and investment activities, will afford us sufficient foreseeable long-term liquidity. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and providesrelies on dividends from its sole subsidiary, First Federal, and cash flows and sales of its investment portfolio for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $25.8$17.7 million.


Off-Balance Sheet Activities

In the normal course of operations, First Federal engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in the financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. For the year ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended June 30, 2016,December 31, 2019, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Capital Resources

First Northwest Bancorp is a bank holding company subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve. As a bank holding company, we are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. Our subsidiary, First Federal, is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC. Capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital.

First Federal is subject to meeting minimum capital adequacy requirements for common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and tier 1 capital ("leverage"). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by bank regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

First Federal is subject to capital requirements adopted by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. See Item 1, “Business-How We Are Regulated,” and Note 1112 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal’s regulatory capital requirements.

In addition to the minimum CET1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios, First Federal has to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions.actions, First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal must maintain CET1 capital at an amount greater than the required minimum levels plus a capital conservation buffer. This new capital conservation buffer requirement

was began to be phased in starting in January 2016 atrequiring a buffer of 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year until fully implemented to an amount equal toof 2.5% of risk-weighted assets in January 2019. As of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, the conservation buffer was 1.25%2.5%.

Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy for First Federal is to maintain its “well-capitalized” status in accordance with regulatory standards. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, the Bank and consolidated Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements, and the Bank was considered "well capitalized" under FDIC regulatory capital guidelines.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices.Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented in this report have been prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which require the measurement of financial and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs and the effect that general inflation may have on both short-term and long-term interest rates. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Although inflation expectations do affect interest rates, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.


Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our market risk arises principally from interest rate risk inherent in our lending, investing, deposit and borrowing activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. In addition to other risks that we manage in the normal course of business, such as credit quality and liquidity, management considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could potentially have a material effect on our financial condition and result of operations. The information contained under Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk" of this Form 10-K is incorporated herein by reference.

We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidatedfinancial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management'sManagement Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.Reporting included in Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on thesethe Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidatedfinancial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidatedfinancial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supportingregarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessingstatements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, andas well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statement presentation.statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material

weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of First Northwest Bancorp and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of operations - First Northwest Bancorp, a Washington corporation ("First Northwest"), was formed in connection withbecame the conversionholding company of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles ("First Federal" or the "Bank") on January 29, 2015, upon completion of the Bank's conversion from thea mutual to the stock form of organization.organization (the "Conversion"). First Northwest and the Bank are collectively referred to as the "Company." The conversion andIn connection with the Company's initial stock offering were completed January 29, 2015, throughConversion, the sale and issuanceCompany issued an aggregate of 12,167,000 shares of common stock of the Company at aan offering price of $10.00 per share in a subscription offering.for gross proceeds of $121.7 million. An additional 933,360 shares of Company common stock and $400,000 in cash were contributed to the First Federal Community Foundation ("Foundation"), a charitable foundation that was established in connection with the conversion,Conversion, resulting in the issuance of a total of 13,100,360 shares. First Northwest's business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversightThe Company received $117.6 million in net proceeds from the stock offering of its investment in First Federal. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including the consolidated financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank.

The Bank provides commercial and consumer banking services to individuals and businesses in our primary market area and have expanded our lending activities to other regions of western Washington State in order to diversify our loan portfolio and increase our net interest margin. These services include deposit and lending transactions that are supplemented with borrowing and investing activities.

Plan of conversion and change in corporate form - On January 29, 2015, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion (Plan) adopted by its Board of Directors and as approved by its members, the Bank converted from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank and became the wholly-owned subsidiary of First Northwest, a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve").

Deferred conversion costs of $4.1which $58.4 million were deducted from the proceeds of the shares sold in the offering during the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. The net proceeds of the issuance of capital stock were $117.6 million. From the net proceeds, First Northwest made a capital contribution of $58.4 millioncontributed to the Bank and a $400,000 cash contribution to the Foundation.upon Conversion.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an ESOP which purchased in the open market 8% of the common stock originally issued for a total of 1,048,029 shares. As of June 30, 2017, 1,048,029 shares, or 100.0% of the total, had been purchased. As of June 30, 2017, First Northwest has allocated 121,695 shares from the total shares purchased to participants.

At the time of conversion,Conversion, the Bank established a liquidation account in an amount equal to its total net worth, approximately $79.7 million, as of June 30, 2014, the latest statement of financial condition appearing in First Northwest's prospectus. The liquidation account will beis maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the conversion.Conversion. The liquidation account will beis reduced annually to the extent that eligible depositors have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible depositor will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held. The liquidation account balance is not available for payment of dividends, and the Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.

Pursuant to the Conversion, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an ESOP which purchased in the open market 8% of the common stock originally issued for a total of 1,048,029 shares. As of December 15, 2015, 1,048,029 shares, or 100.0% of the total, had been purchased. As of December 31, 2019, First Northwest had allocated 253,987 shares from the total shares purchased to participants.

First Northwest's business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in First Federal. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including the consolidated financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank.

The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution providing commercial and consumer banking services to individuals and businesses in Western Washington State with offices in Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, and Whatcom counties. These services include deposit and lending transactions that are supplemented with borrowing and investing activities.

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make assumptions. These assumptions result in estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to a determination of the allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, fair value of financial instruments, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation of impaired loans.

The conversion has been accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and equity unchanged.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Northwest Bancorp;Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal; and First Federal's wholly owned subsidiary, North Olympic Peninsula Services, Inc. ("NOPS"), majority-owned Craft3 Development IV, LLC ("Craft3"), and majority-owned 202 Master Tenant, LLC. NOPS was dissolved on February 12, 2016, at which time the building owned by NOPS and rented in whole to First Federal became the property of the Bank. Craft3 is a partnership investment formed to provide a loan qualifying under the New Markets Tax Credit ("NMTC") rules. The Craft3 partnership was a seven year commitment, commensurate with the NMTC period, which expired June 6, 2015. First Federal subsequently entered a membership redemption and assignment agreement which terminated its membership interest in the Craft3 partnership effective September 30, 2015. In August 2016, First Federal entered into a partnership with the Peninsula College Foundation forming 202 Master Tenant, LLC, in order to receive a historic tax credit. This investment meets the criteria for reporting under the equity method of accounting.Federal. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Subsequent events - The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure and determined there are no such events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure.


FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist of currency on hand, due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions with an original maturity of three months or less. The amounts on deposit fluctuate and, at times, exceed the insured limit by the FDIC, which potentially subjects First Federal to credit risk. First Federal has not experienced any losses due to balances exceeding FDIC insurance limits.

Restricted assets - Federal Reserve Board regulations require maintenance of certain minimum reserve balances on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The amount required to be on deposit was approximately $8.8$10.8 million and $6.7$9.1 million at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019, and 2016,2018, respectively. First Federal was in compliance with its reserve requirements at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and 2016.2018.

Investment securities - Investment securities are classified into one of three categories: (1) held-to-maturity, (2) available-for-sale, or (3) trading. First Federal had no trading securities at June 30, 2017 or 2016.December 31, 2019 and 2018. Investment securities are categorized as held-to-maturity when First Federal has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity.

Securities that are held-to-maturity are stated at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which are recognized as adjustments to interest income.

Investment securities categorized as available for sale are generally held for investment purposes (to maturity), although unanticipated future events may result in the sale of some securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, with the unrealized holding gain or loss reported in other comprehensive income (OCI), net of tax, as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Realized gains or losses are determined using the amortized cost basis of securities sold using the specific identification method and are included in earnings. Dividend and interest income on investments are recognized when earned. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the level yield method over the period to maturity.

The Company reviews investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) on a quarterly basis. For debt securities, the Company considers whether management intends to sell a security or if it is likely that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis of the investment, which may be maturity. For debt securities, if management intends to sell the security or it is likely that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost basis, the entire impairment loss would be recognized as OTTI and charged against earnings. If management does not intend to sell the security and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the security, but management does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, only the portion of the impairment loss representing credit losses would be recognized in earnings. The credit loss on a security is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected. Projected cash flows are discounted by the original or current effective interest rate depending on the nature of the security being measured for potential OTTI. The remaining impairment related to all other factors, i.e. the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and fair value, is recognized as a charge to OCI. Impairment losses related to all other factors are presented as separate categories within OCI. If there is an indication of additional credit losses, the security is re-evaluated according to the procedures described above.

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Federal Home Loan Bank stock - First Federal’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) stock is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. As a member of the FHLB system, First Federal is required to maintain a minimum investment in FHLB stock based on specific percentages of its outstanding mortgages, total assets, or FHLB advances. At June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, First Federal’s minimum investment requirement was approximately $4.4 million.$6.0 million and $6.9 million, respectively. First Federal was in compliance with the FHLB minimum investment requirement at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and 2016.2018. First Federal may request redemption at par value of any stock in excess of the amount First Federal is required to hold. Stock redemptions are granted at the discretion of the FHLB.

Management evaluates FHLB stock for impairment based on its assessment of the ultimate recoverability of cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of any decline in net assets of the FHLB compared with the capital stock

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, the customer base of the FHLB, and (4) the liquidity position of the FHLB. Based on its evaluation, First Federal did not recognize an OTTI loss on its FHLB stock at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and 2016.2018.

Loans held for sale - Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Fair value is determined based upon market prices from third-party purchasers and brokers. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to earnings. Gains or losses on the sale of loans are recognized at the time of sale and determined by the difference between net sale proceeds and the net book value of the loan less the estimated fair value of any retained mortgage servicing rights.

Loans receivable - Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, net of charge-offs, unearned income, allowance for loan loss (ALLL) and any deferred fees or costs. Interest on loans is calculated using the simple interest method based on the month end balance of the principal amount outstanding and is credited to income as earned. The estimated life is adjusted for prepayments.

Each loan segment and class inherently contains differing credit risk profiles depending on the unique aspects of that segment or class of loans. For example, borrowers tend to consider their primary residence and access to transportation for employment-related purposes as basic requirements; accordingly, many consumers prioritize making payments on real estate first-mortgage loans and vehicle loans. Conversely, second-mortgage real estate loans or unsecured loans may not be supported by sufficient collateral; thus, in the event of financial hardship, borrowers may tend to place less importance on maintaining these loans as current and the Bank may not have adequate collateral to provide a secondary source of repayment in the event of default. Notwithstanding the various risk profiles unique to each class of loan, management believes that the credit risk for all loans is similarly dependent on essentially the same factors, including the financial strength of the borrower, the cash flow available to service maturing debt obligations, the condition and value of underlying collateral, the financial strength of any guarantors, and other factors.

Loans are classified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that First Federal will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due, in accordance with the terms of the original loan agreement. The carrying value of impaired loans is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at each loan’s effective interest rate or, for collateral dependent loans, at fair value of the collateral, less selling costs. If the measurement of each impaired loan’s value is less than the recorded investment in the loan, First Federal recognizes this impairment and adjusts the carrying value of the loan to fair value through the allowance for loan losses. This can be accomplished by charging off the impaired portion of the loan or establishing a specific component to be provided for in the allowance for loan losses.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent, unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

reasonably assured. For those loans placed on non-accrual status due to payment delinquency, return to accrual status will generally not occur until the borrower demonstrates repayment ability over a period of not less than six months.

Loan fees - Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to the yield of the loan over the contractual life using the effective interest method. In the event a loan is sold, the remaining deferred loan origination fees and/or costs are recognized as a component of gains or losses on the sale of loans.

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Allowance for loan losses - First Federal maintains a general allowance for loan losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, including management’s continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, and current and anticipated economic conditions. The reserve is an estimate based upon factors and trends identified by management at the time the financial statements are prepared.

The ultimate recovery of loans is susceptible to future market factors beyond First Federal’s control, which may result in losses or recoveries differing significantly from those provided in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review First Federal’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require First Federal to recognize additional provisions for loan losses based on their judgment using information available to them at the time of their examination.

Allowances for losses on specific problem loans are charged to income when it is determined that the value of these loans and properties, in the judgment of management, is impaired. First Federal accounts for impaired loans in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310-10-35, Receivables—Overall—Subsequent Measurement. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that First Federal will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

When a loan has been identified as being impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured by using discounted cash flows, except when it is determined that the sole source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the underlying collateral. In such cases, impairment is measured at current fair value generally based on a current appraisal of the collateral, reduced by estimated selling costs. When the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (including collected interest that has been applied to principal, net deferred loan fees or costs, and unamortized premiums or discounts), loan impairment is recognized by establishing or adjusting an allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Uncollected accrued interest is reversed against interest income. If ultimate collection of principal is in doubt, all cash receipts on impaired loans are applied to reduce the principal balance. The impairment amount for small balance homogeneous loans is calculated using the adjusted historical loss rate for the class and risk category related to each loan, unless the loan is subject to a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR").

A TDR is a loan for which First Federal, for reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that First Federal would not otherwise consider. The loan terms that have been modified or restructured due to the borrower’s financial difficulty include, but are not limited to, a reduction in the stated interest rate; an extension of the maturity; an interest rate below market; a reduction in the face amount of the debt; a reduction in the accrued interest; or extension, deferral, renewal, or rewrite of the original loan terms.

The restructured loans may be classified “special mention” or “substandard” depending on the severity of the modification. Loans that were paid current at the time of modification may be upgraded in their classification after a sustained period of repayment performance, usually six months or longer, and there is reasonable assurance that repayment will continue. Loans that are past due at the time of modification are classified “substandard” and placed on nonaccrual status.

TDR loans may be upgraded in their classification and placed on accrual status once there is a sustained period of repayment performance, usually six months or longer, and there is a reasonable assurance that repayment will continue. First Federal allows reclassification of a troubled debt restructuring back into the general loan pool (as a non-troubled debt restructuring) if the borrower is able to refinance the loan at then-current market rates and meet all of the underwriting criteria of First Federal required of other

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

borrowers. The refinance must be based on the borrower’s ability to repay the debt and no special concessions of rate and/or term are granted to the borrower.

Reserve for unfunded commitments - Management maintains a reserve for unfunded commitments to absorb probable losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments to lend funds such as unused lines of credit and the undisbursed portion of construction loans. Management determines the adequacy of the reserve based on reviews of individual exposures,

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The reserve is based on estimates and ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates. The reserve is evaluated on a regular basis and necessary adjustments are reported in earnings during the period in which they become known. The reserve for unfunded commitments is included in "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets.

Real estate owned and repossessed assets - Real estate owned and repossessed assets include real estate and personal property acquired through foreclosure or repossession and may include in-substance foreclosed properties. In-substance foreclosed properties are those properties for which the Bank has taken physical possession, regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have taken place.

At the time of foreclosure, foreclosed real estate is recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new cost basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and property held for sale is carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Impairment losses on property to be held and used are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a property exceeds its fair value. Subsequent gains, losses, and expenses recognized on the sale of these properties are included in noninterest expense. The amounts ultimately recovered on foreclosed assets may differ substantially from the carrying value of the assets due to future market factors beyond management's control.

Mortgage servicing rights - Originated servicing rights are recorded when mortgage loans are originated and subsequently sold with the servicing rights retained. Servicing assets are initially recognized at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on the consolidated balance sheetssales of loans and amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial asset. To determine the fair value of servicing rights, management uses a valuation model that calculates the present value of future cash flows. Assumptions used in the valuation model include market discount rates and anticipated prepayment speeds. In addition, estimates of the cost of servicing per loan, an inflation rate, ancillary income per loan, and default rates are used. The initial fair value relating to the servicing rights is capitalized and amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated future net servicing income.

Management assesses impairment of the mortgage servicing rights based on recalculations of the present value of remaining future cash flows using updated market discount rates and prepayment speeds. Subsequent loan prepayments and changes in prepayment assumptions in excess of those forecasted can adversely impact the carrying value of the servicing rights. Impairment is assessed on a stratified basis with any impairment recognized through a valuation allowance for each impaired stratum. The servicing rights are stratified based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans: fixed-rate loans and adjustable-rate loans. The effect of changes in market interest rates on estimated rates of loan prepayments is the predominant risk characteristic for mortgage servicing rights. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds, and default rates and losses.

Mortgage servicing income represents fees earned for servicing loans. Fees for servicing mortgage loans are generally based upon a percentage of the principal balance of the loans serviced, as well as related ancillary income such as late charges. Servicing income is recognized as earned, unless collection is doubtful. The caption in the consolidated statement of operationsincome “Mortgage servicing fees, net” includes mortgage servicing income, amortization of mortgage servicing rights, the effects of mortgage servicing run-off, and impairment.impairment, if applicable.

Income taxes - First Federal accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

their future tax consequences, attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Premises and equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized and computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Buildings37.5 - 50 years
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment3 - 10 years
Software3 years
Automobiles5 years


FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Leases - Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the future lease payments using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The Company does not capitalize short-term leases, which are leases with terms of twelve months or less. ROU assets and related operating lease liabilities are remeasured when lease terms are amended, extended, or when management intends to exercise available extension options.

Transfers of financial assets - Transfers of an entire financial asset, a group of financial assets, or a participating interest in an entire financial asset are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when: (1) the assets have been isolated from First Federal, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) First Federal does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. The mortgage loans that are sold with recourse provisions are accounted for as sales until such time as the loan defaults.

Periodically, First Federal sells mortgage loans with “life of the loan” recourse provisions, requiring First Federal to repurchase the loan at any time if it defaults. The remaining balance of such loans at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, was approximately $6.5$5.0 million and $7.2$5.6 million, respectively. Of these loans, one loan wasno loans were repurchased for $100,000 during the yearyears ended June 30, 2017. Two loans were also repurchased in the amount of $151,000 during the year ended June 30, 2016.December 31, 2019 or 2018. There is an associated allowance of $33,000$19,000 and $57,000$19,000 at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, respectively, included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets related to these loans.

Bank-owned life insurance - The carrying amount of life insurance approximates fair value. Fair value of life insurance is estimated using the cash surrender value, less applicable surrender charges. The change in cash surrender value is included in noninterest income. An additional $10.0 million of life insurance was purchased in August 2016.

Off-balance-sheet credit-related financial instruments - In the ordinary course of business, First Federal has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under lines of credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Advertising costs - First Federal expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.

Comprehensive income (loss) - Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, and gains and losses be included in net income (loss). 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 consolidated balance sheets, such items, along with net income (loss), are components of comprehensive income (loss).

Dividend restriction - Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the Company or by the Company to shareholders.

Fair value measurements - Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions (Note 14)(Note 15). Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.

Segment information - First Federal is engaged in the business of attracting deposits and providing lending services. Substantially all income is derived from a diverse base of commercial, mortgage, and consumer lending activities and investments. The Company’s activities are considered to be a single industry segment for financial reporting purposes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

released to participants' accounts. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings while dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce debt and accrued interest.

Earnings (loss) per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income or (loss), reduced by earnings allocated to participating shares of restricted stock, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As ESOP shares are committed to be released, they become outstanding for EPS calculation purposes. ESOP shares not committed to be released are not considered outstanding for basic or diluted EPS calculations. The basic EPS calculation excludes the dilutive effect of all common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average potential dilution that could occur if all potentially dilutive securities or other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock using the treasury stock method.

According to the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings per Share, nonvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. At this time the Company has no share-based payment awards nor paid a dividend.

Recently issuedadopted accounting pronouncements -In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 one year. ASU No. 2014-09 created Topic 606 and supersedes Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In general, the new guidance requires companies to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU No. 2015-14 is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. For financial reporting purposes, the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. A significant amount of the Company’s revenues are derived from net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which are excluded from the scope of the amended guidance. With respect to noninterest income, the Company anticipates completing the review of revenue streams and underlying revenue contracts within the scope of the guidance no later than November 2017. The Company will develop processes and procedures as a component of the review project to ensure it is fully compliant with these amendments. To date, the Company has not yet identified any significant changes in the timing of revenue recognition when considering the amended accounting guidance; however, the Company’s implementation efforts are ongoing and such assessments may change prior to the January 1, 2018 implementation date.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The main provisions of this ASU address the valuation and impairment of equity securities along with enhanced disclosures about those investments. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values will be treated in the same manner as other financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The principal change required by this ASU relates to lessee accounting, and is that for operating leases,requires a lessee to recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. Unlike current GAAP, which requires that only capital leases be recognized on the balance sheet, the ASC requires that both types of leases be recognized on the balance sheet. For public companies, this update is required to (1) recognizeeffective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019, resulted in a right-of-use asset and acorresponding lease obligation liability initially measured atof $3.9 million. The Corporation chose the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, prior period financial information has not been updated or restated. The right-of-use asset is included in other assets and the lease obligation liability is included in other liabilities on the December 31, 2019, consolidated balance sheet.

In August 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). This ASU was issued to provide investors better insight to an entity’s risk management hedging strategies by permitting companies to recognize the economic results of hedging strategies in the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU permit hedge accounting for hedging relationships involving non-financial risk and interest rate risk by removing certain limitations in cash flow and fair value hedging relationships. In addition, the ASU requires an entity to present valuethe earnings effect of the lease payments,hedging instrument in the same income statement of financial position, (2) recognize a single lease cost, calculated so thatline item in which the costearnings effect of the leasehedged item is reported. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. These amendments provide specific guidance for transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (i) financing to the issuer or (ii) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted but not earlier than the adoption of Topic 606. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial

allocated overstatements as it has not historically issued share-based payments in exchange for goods or services to be consumed within its operations.

In July 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, Codification Improvements. These amendments provide clarifications and corrections to certain ASC subtopics including the lease term on a generally straight-line basis,following: 220-10 (Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Overall), 470-50 (Debt - Modifications and (3) classify all cash payments within operating activities inExtinguishments), 480-10 (Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity - Overall), 718-740 (Compensation - Stock Compensation - Income Taxes), 805-740 (Business Combinations - Income Taxes), 815-10 (Derivatives and Hedging - Overall), and 820-10 (Fair Value Measurement - Overall). Some of the statement of cash flows. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 also changes disclosure requirements related to leasing activities, and requires certain qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are2018-09 do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon issuance; however, many of the amendments do have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of the amendments in ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The Company expects to compile an inventory of all leased assets to determine the impactAdoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial condition and results of operations. Once adopted, we expect to report higher assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of including right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to certain banking offices and certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements, which currently are not reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income or Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this ASU2018-09 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 amendments in this ASU permit use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate, the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap Rate. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted concurrently with the amendments in ASU 2017-12. For public companies, this would be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Adoption of ASU 2018-16 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recently adopted regulatory rule

In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a final rule that amends certain of its disclosure requirements. The rule simplifies various disclosure requirements for public companies including primarily that it (i) eliminates the requirement for public companies to disclose in their filings a schedule of earnings to fixed charges, (ii) requires an analysis of changes in stockholders’ equity for the current and comparative year-to-date interim periods in interim reports, and (iii) reduces the requirements for market price information disclosures in annual reports. These changes are effective for public companies beginning on November 5, 2018. The Company started complying with these new requirements beginning with the Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2019, on Form 10-Q.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Loss, which updates the guidance on recognition and measurement of credit losses for financial assets. The new requirements, known as the current expected credit loss model (CECL) will require entities to adopt an impairment model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, the Company will change processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities available for sale will be replaced with an allowance approach.

Additional updates were issued in ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 825), Financial Instruments. This ASU clarifies and improves guidance related to the previously issued standards on credit losses, hedging and recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The amendments provide entities with various measurement alternatives and policy elections related to accounting for credit losses and accrued interest receivable balances. Entities are also able to elect a practical expedient to separately disclose the total amount of accrued interest included in the amortized cost basis as a single balance to meet certain disclosure requirements. The amendments clarify that the estimated allowance for credit losses should include all expected recoveries of

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

financial assets and trade receivables that were previously written off and expected to be written off. The amendments also allow entities to use projections of future interest rate environments when using a discounted cash flow method to measure expected credit losses on variable-rate financial instruments.

In addition, new updates were issued through ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. This amendment allows entities to elect the fair value option on certain financial instruments. On adoption, an entity is allowed to irrevocably elect the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis. This alternative is available for all instruments in the scope of Subtopic 326-20 except for existing held-to-maturity debt securities. If an entity elects the fair value option, the difference between the instrument’s fair value and carrying amount is recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment.

In October 2019, the FASB confirmed that it will be moving forward with finalizing its proposal to defer the effective date for this guidance for smaller reporting companies from the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 to the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. For this effective date deferral to take effect, the FASB must issue the final ASU which we expect to be issued in mid-November. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Upon issuance of the final ASU, we plan to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2023.

The Company is evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13, ASU No. 2019-04 and ASU No. 2019-05, and will closely monitor developments and additional guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. At this time, we do not anticipate an increase tocannot reasonably estimate the ALLL as a result ofimpact the implementation of this ASU.these ASUs will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The CompanyCompany's internal project management team continues to review the requirements of ASU 2016-13models, work with our third-party vendor, and has reviewed preliminary testing ofdiscuss changes to processes and procedures to ensure itthe Company is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date.

Other Pronouncements
In August 2016, the2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,2018-13, StatementDisclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in ASC 820. This guidance eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements: the amount of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classificationand reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of Certain Cash Receiptsthe fair value hierarchy, an entity’s policy for the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and Cash Payments. The ASU provides specifican entity’s valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance on eight classification issuesalso adds new disclosure requirements for public entities: changes in orderunrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of instruments held at the end of the reporting period, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to achieve more consistent reporting. The amendments indevelop recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements, including how the weighted average is calculated. Furthermore, this ASU areguidance modifies certain requirements which will involve disclosing: transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, purchases and issuances of Level 3 assets and liabilities, and information about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. This guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods,public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.

The ASU aligns the accounting for such costs with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Specifically, the ASU amends ASC 350 to include in its scope implementation costs of such arrangements that are service contracts and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323).clarifies that a customer should apply ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs should be capitalized. This ASU, amends the Codificationwhich is effective for SEC staff announcements made at recent Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meetings. The SEC staff viewfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, is thatnot expected to have a registrant should evaluate ASU updates that have not yet been adopted to determine the appropriate financial disclosures about the potential material effects of the ASUimpact on the Company’s financial statements when adopted. If a registrant does not know or cannot reasonably estimate the impact of an ASU, then in addition to making a statement to that effect, the registrant should consider additional qualitative financial statement disclosures to assist the reader in assessing the significance of the impact. The staff expects the additional qualitative disclosures to include a description of the effect of the accounting policies expected to be applied compared to current accounting policies. Also, the registrant should describe the status of its process to implement the new standards and the significant implementation matters yet to be addressed. The amendments specifically addressed recent FASB guidance as well as any amendments issued prior to adoption, on revenue (ASU 2014-09), leases (ASU 2016-02) and credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13).

The Company may hold certain investment securities in an unrealized loss position that are not considered OTTI. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, there were 4262 investment securities with $1.8$3.0 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $164.9 million.$198.8 million. At June 30, 2016,December 31, 2018, there were 1569 investment securities with $1.3$6.7 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $65.6 million.$268.5 million.

Management believes that the unrealized losses on investment securities relate principally to the general change in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, that has occurred since the initial purchase, and such unrecognized losses or gains will continue to vary with general interest rate level fluctuations in the future. Certain investments in a loss position are guaranteed by government entities or government sponsored entities. The Company does not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and believes it is not likely it will be required to sell these investments prior to a market price recovery or maturity.

There were no OTTI losses during the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016December 31, 2019 and 2015.2018.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities by contractual maturity are shown in the following tables at the dates indicated. Expected maturities of mortgage-backed securities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties; therefore, these securities are shown separately.

A loan is considered impaired when First Federal has determined that it may be unable to collect payments of principal or interest when due under the contractual terms of the loan. In the process of identifying loans as impaired, management takes into consideration factors that include payment history and status, collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments in the future. Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically do not result in a loan being classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and shortfalls is considered by management on a case-by-case basis after taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loans and the borrowers, including payment history and amounts of any payment shortfall, length and reason for delay, and likelihood of return to stable performance. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for all loans in the portfolio except smaller balance homogeneous loans and certain qualifying TDR loans.

Credit quality indicator - Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities, as substandard, doubtful, or loss; risk ratings 6, 7, and 8 in our 8-point risk rating system, respectively. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and pay capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that First Federal will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

When First Federal classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish a specific allowance to address the risk specifically or First Federal may allow the loss to be addressed in the general allowance. General allowances represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities but that, unlike specific allowances, have not been specifically allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as a loss, it is required to charge off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Assets that do not currently expose First Federal to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but possess identified weaknesses are designated as either watch or special mention assets; risk ratings 4 and 5 in our risk rating system, respectively. At June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, First Federal had $3.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively, of loans classified as substandard and no loans classified as doubtful or loss. Loans not otherwise classified are considered pass graded loans and are rated 1-3 in our risk rating system.

Additionally, First Federal categorizes loans as performing or nonperforming based on payment activity. Loans that are more than 90 days past due and nonaccrual loans are considered nonperforming.

Troubled debt restructuring - A TDR is a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty that has been modified from its original terms and conditions in such a way that First Federal is granting the borrower a concession of some kind. First Federal has granted a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications. The modifications granted can generally be described in the following categories:

Rate modification - A modification in which the interest rate is changed.

Term modification - A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments, or frequency of payments is changed.

Payment modification - A modification in which the dollar amount of the payment is changed. Interest-only modifications in which a loan is converted to interest-only payments for a period of time are included in this category.

Combination modification - Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple categories above.

Upon identifying a receivable as a troubled debt restructuring, First Federal classifies the loan as impaired for purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses. This requires the loan to be evaluated individually for impairment, generally based on the expected cash

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

flows under the new terms discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rates. For TDR loans that subsequently default, the method of determining impairment is generally the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs.

TDR loans may be upgraded in their classification and placed on accrual status once there is a sustained period of repayment performance, usually six months or longer, and there is a reasonable assurance that repayment will continue. First Federal allows reclassification of a troubled debt restructuring back into the general loan pool (as a non-troubled debt restructuring) if the borrower is able to refinance the loan at then-current market rates and meet all of the underwriting criteria of First Federal required of other borrowers. The refinance must be based on the borrower’s ability to repay the debt and no special concessions of rate and/or term are granted to the borrower.

As a result of the bad debt deductions taken in years prior to 1988, retained earnings include accumulated earnings of approximately $6.4 million, on which federal income taxes have not been provided. If, in the future, this portion of retained earnings is used for any purpose other than to absorb losses on loans or on property acquired through foreclosure, federal income taxes may be imposed at the then-prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not contemplate that such amounts will be used for any purpose that would create a federal income tax liability; therefore, no provision has been made.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. These calculations are based on many complex factors including estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal income tax laws, and a determination of the differences between the tax and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company contributed $400,000 in cash and $9.3 million in common stock to the Foundation. Under current Federal income tax regulations, charitable contribution deductions are limited to 10% of taxable income. Accordingly, the $9.7 million contribution created a carryforward for income tax purposes with a deferred tax asset of $3.3 million and related valuation allowance of $1.9 million for financial statement reporting purposes. At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, the balance of the contribution carryforward totaled $8.0$5.9 million. The contribution carryforward will expireexpired in 2020.2019. As a result, the carryforward and related valuation allowance were reversed during the period. A valuation allowance is provided

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates whether its deferred tax assets will be realized and adjusts the amount of its valuation allowance, if necessary. There was a valuation allowance of $1.9$0 and $1.2 million, at both June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and 2016.2018, respectively.

The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 740 that require the application of a more-likely-than-not recognition criterion for the reporting of uncertain tax positions on its financial statements. The Company had no unrecognized tax assets at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2016.2018. During the years ended June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company recognizes interest and penalties in income tax expense. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending before June 30, 2014.

Note 1011 - Benefit Plans

Multi-employer Pension Plan

The Bank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (the Pentegra DB Plan), a tax-qualified defined-benefit pension plan that covered substantially all employees after one year of continuous employment. Pension benefits vested over a period of five years of credited service. The Pentegra DB Plan’s Employer Identification Number is

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

13-5645888 and the Plan Number is 12004. The Pentegra DB Plan operates as a multi-employer plan for accounting purposes and as a multiple-employer plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. There are no collective bargaining agreements in place that require contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan. The Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan was frozen and no new benefits were allowed as of February 1, 2010.

The Pentegra DB Plan is a single plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 413(c) and, as a result, all of the assets stand behind all of the liabilities. Accordingly, under the Pentegra DB Plan, contributions made by a participating employer may be used to provide benefits to participants of other participating employers.

Stock-based Compensation

On November 16, 2015, the Company's shareholders approved the First Northwest Bancorp 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the "EIP"), which provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to eligible participants. The cost of awards under the EIP generally is based on the fair value of the awards on their grant date. The maximum number of shares that may be utilized for awards under the EIP is 1,834,050. Under the EIP stock options may be granted that, upon exercise, result in the issuance of up to 1,310,036 shares of common stock and up to 524,014 shares of restricted stock may be awarded. Shares of common stock issued under the EIP may be authorized but unissued shares or repurchased shares. During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company purchased and retired 523,014 shares of common stock to be used for future stock awards.

There were 65,000 shares of restricted stock awarded during the year ended December 31, 2018, and no awards or related expenses during years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.stock options were granted. Awarded shares of restricted stock vest over five years from the date of grant as long as the eligible participant remains in service to the Company. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the shares at the award date.

On July 7, 2017, the Company reissued 50,000 shares of common stock and granted them as restricted share awards to certain employees pursuant to the EIP. The restricted shares will vest in equal installments of 20% per year over a five-year period.

Note 1112 - Regulatory Capital Requirements

Under Federal regulations, pre-conversion retained earnings are restricted for the protection of pre-conversion depositors.
The Company is a bank holding company under the supervision of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank is a federally insured institution and thereby is subject to the capital requirements established by the FDIC. The Federal Reserve Board capital requirements generally parallel the FDIC requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table that follows) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations) and of Tier 1 capital to average assets.

Effective January 1, 2015 (with some changes transitioned into full effectiveness over two to four years), the Bank isFirst Northwest Bancorp and First Federal became subject to capital requirements which created a required ratio for common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital, increased the leverage and Tier 1 capital ratios, changed the risk-weightings of certain assets for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios, created an additional capital conservation buffer over the required capital ratios and changed what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting these various capital requirements. The Bank isFirst Northwest Bancorp and First

Federal are required to maintain additional levels of Tier 1 common equity over the minimum risk-based capital levels before it may payto avoid limitations on dividends, repurchase shares or payand paying discretionary bonuses.

The minimum requirements are a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital (CET1 capital)("CET1 capital") to total risk-weighted assets the (“CET1 risk-based ratio”) of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%, a total capital ratio of 8.0%, and a leverage ratio of 4.0%.

In addition to the capital requirements, there were a number of changes in what constitutes regulatory capital, subject to a certain transition period. These changes include the phasing-out of certain instruments as qualifying capital. The Bank does not have any of these instruments. Mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets over designated percentages of CET1 are deducted from capital, subject to a transition period ending December 31, 2017. CET1 consists of Tier 1 capital less all capital components that are not considered
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

common equity. In addition, Tier 1 capital includes accumulated other comprehensive income, which includes all unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt and equity securities, subject to a transition period ending December 31, 2017. Because of the Bank’s asset size, the Bank is not considered an advanced approaches banking organization and has elected to permanently opt-out of the inclusion of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt and equity securities in its capital calculations.

The requirements also include changes in the risk-weighting of assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposure. These include a 150% risk weight (up from 100%) for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and for non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise in nonaccrual status; a 20% (up from 0%) credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is not unconditionally cancellable; and a 250% risk weight (up from 100%) for mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital.

In addition to the minimum CET1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios, the Bank has to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions.actions, First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal must maintain CET1 capital at an amount greater than the required minimum levels plus a capital conservation buffer. This new capital conservation buffer requirement was phased in starting in January 2016 atrequiring a buffer of 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year until fully implemented to an amount equal toof 2.5% of risk-weighted assets in January 2019. As of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, the conservation buffer was 1.25%2.5%.

Under the new standards, in order to be considered well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain a CET1 risk-based ratio of 6.5% (new), a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 8% (increased from 6%), a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% (unchanged) and a leverage ratio of 5% (unchanged).

As of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized First Federal as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, CET1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed First Federal’s category.

At periodic intervals, banking regulators routinely examine First Northwest and First Federal as part of their legally prescribed oversight of the banking industry. A future examination could include a review of certain transactions or other amounts reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Based on these examinations, the regulators can direct that the Company's consolidated financial statements be adjusted in accordance with their findings. In view of the uncertain regulatory environment in which First Northwest and First Federal operate, the extent, if any, to which a forthcoming regulatory examination may ultimately result in adjustments to the accompanying consolidated financial statements cannot presently be determined.

At June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, First Northwest and First Federal each exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

Note 1314 - Commitments and Contingencies

First Federal is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments generally represent a commitment to extend credit in the form of loans. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

First Federal’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. First Federal uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Management does not anticipate any material loss as a result of these transactions.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established by the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. First Federal evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. First Federal did not incur any significant losses on its commitments for the years ended June 30, 2017December 31, 2019, and 2016.2018.

Legal contingencies - Various legal claims may arise from time to time in the normal course of business, which, in the opinion of management, have no current material effect on First Federal’s consolidated financial statements.

Significant group concentrations of credit risk - Concentration of credit risk is the risk associated with a lack of diversification, such as having substantial loan concentrations in a specific type of loan within First Federal’s loan portfolio, thereby exposing First Federal to greater risks resulting from adverse economic, political, regulatory, geographic, industrial, or credit developments. Loans to one borrower are subject to the state banking regulations general limitation of 20 percent of First Federal’s equity, excluding

accumulated other comprehensive income. At June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and 2016,2018 First Federal’s most significant concentration of credit risk was in loans secured by real estate. These loans totaled approximately $697.5$730.2 million and $600.0$767.6 million, or 95.0%82.6% and 95.9%88.3%, of First Federal’s total loan portfolio at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, respectively. Real estate construction, including land acquisition and land development, commercial real estate, multi-family, home equity, and one- to four-family residential loans are included in the total loans secured by real estate for purposes of this calculation. After a period of decline the real estate market has begun to recover, which has helped stabilize nonperforming loans and the allowance for loan losses.

At June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, First Federal’s most significant investment concentration of credit risk was with the U.S. Government, its agencies, and Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs). First Federal’s exposure, which results from positions in securities issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies, and securities guaranteed by GSEs, was $238.7$223.5 million and $261.3$243.4 million, or 83.8%69.5% and 79.6%77.7%, of First Federal’s total investment portfolio (including FHLB stock) at June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, respectively.

Note 1415 - Fair Value Accounting and Measurement

Fair value is the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the Company’s principal market. The Company has established and documented its process for determining the fair values of its assets and liabilities, where applicable. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available, for identical or similar assets or liabilities. In the absence of quoted market prices, management determines the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities using valuation models or third-party pricing services, both of which rely on market-based parameters when available, such as interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and credit spreads, or unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs may be based on management’s judgment, assumptions, and estimates related to credit quality, liquidity, interest rates, and other relevant inputs.

Any changes to valuation methodologies are reviewed by management to ensure they are relevant and justified. Valuation methodologies are refined as more market-based data becomes available.

A three-level valuation hierarchy is used in determining fair value that is based on the transparency of the inputs used in the valuation process. The inputs used in determining fair value in each of the three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Either: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; (ii) observable inputs, such as interest rates or yield curves; or (iii) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs.

The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to Level 1 inputs and the lowest ranking to Level 3 inputs. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques - Securities available for sale: where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified as Level 1. Level 1 instruments include highly liquid government bonds, securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, and exchange-traded equity securities.

If quoted prices are not available, management determines fair value using pricing models, quoted prices of similar securities, which are considered Level 2, or discounted cash flows. In certain cases, where there is limited activity in the market for a particular instrument, assumptions must be made to determine their fair value. Such instruments are classified as Level 3.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis - Assets are considered to be fair valued on a nonrecurring basis if the fair value measurement of the instrument does not necessarily result in a change in the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Generally, nonrecurring valuation is the result of the application of other accounting pronouncements that require assets or liabilities to be assessed for impairment or recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities other than investment securities are not traded in active markets. Estimated fair values require subjective judgments and are approximate. The estimates of fair value in the previous table are not necessarily representative of amounts that could be realized in actual market transactions, or of the underlying value of the Company. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company's financial instruments:

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Financial instruments with book value equal to fair value - The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value equal to book value. These instruments include cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks, loans held for sale, FHLB stock, accrued interest receivable, and accrued interest payable. FHLB stock is not publicly traded, however, it may be redeemed on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for any amount the Bank is not required to hold, subject to the FHLB's discretion. The fair value is therefore equal to the book value.

Securities - Fair values for investment securities are primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. The pricing service uses evaluated pricing models based on market data. In the event that limited or less transparent information is provided by the third-party pricing service, fair value is estimated using secondary pricing services or non-binding third-party broker quotes.

Loans receivable, net - Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, including fixed and variable one- to four-family residential real estate, commercial, and consumer loans. There is an accurate and reliable secondary market for one- to four-family residential mortgage production, and available market benchmarks are used to establish discount factors for estimating fair value for these types of loans. Commercial and consumer loans use market benchmarks when available; however, due to the varied term structures and credit issues involved, they mainly rely on cash flow projections and repricing characteristics within the loan portfolio. These amounts are discounted further by embedded probable losses expected to be realized in the portfolio.

Valuations of impaired loans, real estate owned and repossessed assets are periodically performed by management, and the fair values of these loans are carried at the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell. Fair value of the underlying collateral may be determined using an appraisal performed by a qualified independent appraiser.

Mortgage servicing rights - The estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.

Deposits - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing deposits, savings and interest checking accounts, and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of June 30, 2017 and 2016. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings - The fair value of FHLB advances and other borrowings are calculated using a discounted cash flow method, adjusted for market interest rates and terms to maturity.

Off-balance-sheet financial instruments - Commitments to extend credit represent all off-balance-sheet financial instruments. The fair value of these commitments is not significant.

Note 1516 - Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same amount at June 30, 2017 as the Company does not have any additional potential dilutive common shares.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to compute basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods shown.

Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of EPS if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, anti-dilutive shares outstanding related to restricted stock awards totaled 66,659 and 48,040, respectively, because the incremental shares under the treasury stock method of calculation resulted in them being anti-dilutive.

As of December 15, 2015, the ESOP had purchased 1,048,029 shares of First Northwest Bancorp in the open market. Unallocated ESOP shares are not included as outstanding shares for basic or diluted earnings per share calculations. As of June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015, 121,695, 70,356 and 17,509 shares have been allocated to employees through the ESOP while 926,334, 977,673 and 935,290 shares remain unallocated, respectively.

The Company recognizes revenue as it is earned and noted no impact to its revenue recognition policies as a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09. The following is a discussion of key revenues within the scope of the new revenue guidance.

Deposit fees - The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for account maintenance, transaction-based activity and overdraft services. Account maintenance fees consist primarily of account fees and analyzed account fees charged on deposit accounts on a monthly basis. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are recognized on a monthly basis as the service period is completed. Transaction-based fees on deposit accounts are charged to deposit customers for specific services provided to the customer, such as non-sufficient funds fees, overdraft fees, and wire fees. The performance obligation is completed as the transaction occurs and the fees are recognized at the time each specific service is provided to the customer.

Debit interchange income - Debit and Automated Teller Machine ("ATM") interchange income represent fees earned when a debit card issued by the Company is used. The Company earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions through card networks. In addition, the Company earns interchange fees for use of its ATM by customers of other banking institutions. Interchange fees are based on purchase volumes and other factors and are recognized as transactions occur. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the cardholder's debit card. Certain expenses directly associated with the credit and debit card are netted against interchange income.

Credit card interchange income- Credit card interchange income represents fees earned when a credit card issued by the Bank through a third-party vendor is used. Similar to the debit card interchange, the Bank earns an interchange fee for each transaction made with a Bank-branded credit card. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the cardholder's credit card. Certain expenses directly related to the credit card interchange contract are netted against interchange income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Investment services revenue - Commissions received on the sale of investment related products is determined by a percentage of underlying instruments sold and is recognized when the sale is finalized.

Gains/losses on the sale of other real estate owned are included in non-interest expense and are generally recognized when the performance obligation is complete. This is typically at delivery of control over the property to the buyer at time of each real estate closing.

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 18 - Subsequent Event

On July 25, 2017, the Board of Directors of First Northwest Bancorp determined, in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, that the Company’s fiscal year end should begin on January 1 and end on December 31 of each year, starting on January 1, 2018. The Company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an annual report on Form 10-K for the current fiscal year ended on June 30, 2017. The transition period of July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 will be covered on a Form 10-KT.


Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.


Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

(i)    
Disclosure controls and procedures.procedures

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company’s senior management as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures in effect as of June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act was (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(a)    Management's report on internal control over financial reporting.
First Northwest Bancorp's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act. The Company's internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Boardboard of Directorsdirectors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

This process includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Also, because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost -benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. As a result of these inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017.December 31, 2019. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Based on that assessment, the Company's management believes that, as of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, First Northwest Bancorp's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

Moss Adams LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the Company's consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017,December 31, 2019, which is included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

(b)    Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.
The “Report Moss Adams LLP has issued an attestation report that expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm”the Company's internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K is incorporated herein by reference.10-K.


(c)    Changes in Internal Controls.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting duringfor the year ended June 30, 2017December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
