CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Bridge Bancorp, Inc. (the “Holding Company”), is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of New York. The Holding Company’s business consists of the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, BNB Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank’s operations include its real estate investment trust subsidiary, Bridgehampton Community, Inc.; a financial title insurance subsidiary, Bridge Abstract LLC (“Bridge Abstract”); and an investment services subsidiary, Bridge Financial Services, Inc. (“Bridge Financial Services”).

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the collective results of the Holding Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, which are collectively herein referred to as “we”, “us”, “our” and the “Company.”

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10‑Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. In preparing the interim financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reported periods. Such estimates are subject to change in the future as additional information becomes available or previously existing circumstances are modified. Actual future results could differ significantly from those estimates. The annualized results of operations for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts, and the related discussion and analysis, to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications did not have an impact on net income or total stockholders' equity. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

COVID-19 Risks

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported in China, and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. On March 12, 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States as many state and local governments, including New York, have ordered non-essential businesses to close and residents to shelter in place at home. This has resulted in an unprecedented slow-down in economic activity and a related increase in unemployment.

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when COVID-19 can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be reopened. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, the Company may be subject to the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.

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

Table of Contents

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

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

the Company’s allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties beyond forbearance periods, which will adversely affect the Company’s net income;

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

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

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

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

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

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)

Effective for periods after December 31, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which replaced the long-standing incurred loss model used in calculating the allowance for loan and lease losses with a more forward-looking, current expected credit loss model (“CECL” or the “CECL Standard”). Furthermore, the CECL Standard requires financial institutions to measure all expected credit losses for in-scope financial assets held at amortized cost at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. Accordingly, financial institutions will now leverage forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. For the Company, this standard applies to loans held for investment, unfunded commitments, and securities held to maturity. In addition, the CECL Standard made changes to the accounting for available for sale debt securities. Credit losses on available for sale debt securities should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP. However, the amendments in the CECL Standard require that credit losses be presented as an allowance for credit losses rather than as a write-down. This approach is an improvement to current GAAP because an entity will be able to record reversals of credit losses (in situations in which the estimate of credit losses declines) in current period net income, which in turn should align the income statement recognition of credit losses with the reporting period in which changes occur. Although the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES” Act) provided the option to delay the adoption of the CECL Standard until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the termination of the current national emergency declaration related to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company adopted the CECL Standard in the first quarter of 2020 as previously planned using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The adoption of the CECL Standard resulted in an initial increase of $1.6 million to the allowance for credit losses and $0.5 million to the reserve for unfunded commitments. The after-tax cumulative-effect adjustment of $1.5 million was recorded in retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. Based on the credit quality of the Company's securities portfolio, there was no initial adjustment to retained earnings for credit losses associated with debt securities held to maturity.

Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under the CECL Standard while prior period amounts will continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 260‑10‑45 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (“EPS”). The restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and certain restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted by the Company contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and therefore are considered participating securities. The two-class method for calculating basic EPS excludes dividends paid to participating securities and any undistributed earnings attributable to participating securities.

~~Table of Contents~~

The following table presents the computation of EPS for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2018:~~2019:

There were ~~110,660~~180,020 stock options outstanding at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of common stock and were, therefore, antidilutive. There were ~~47,393~~110,660 stock options outstanding at ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of common stock and were, therefore, antidilutive.

There were ~~32,865~~26,556 and ~~zero~~22,305 RSUs that were antidilutive for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018, respectively. There were 22,472 and zero RSUs that were antidilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018,~~ respectively.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

In May 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved the Bridge Bancorp, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Equity Incentive Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock-based and other incentive awards to officers, employees and directors of the Company. The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan superseded the Bridge Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the “2012 Equity Incentive Plan”). The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan superseded the 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Plan. The maximum number of shares of stock, in the aggregate, that may be granted under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan as stock options, restricted stock, or restricted stock units is 370,000 plus the number of shares of stock which have been reserved but not issued under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, and any awards that are forfeited under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan after the effective date of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. No further grants will be made under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. Currently outstanding grants under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan will not be affected.

The number of shares of common stock of Bridge Bancorp, Inc. available for stock-based awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan is 370,000 plus 162,738 shares that were remaining under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. At ~~June 30, 2019, 522,794~~March 31, 2020, 382,166 shares remain available for issuance, including shares that may be granted in the form of stock options, RSAs, or RSUs.

Table of Contents

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company accounts for the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan under FASB ASC No. 718.

Stock Options

Stock options may be either incentive stock options, which bestow certain tax benefits on the optionee, or non-qualified stock options, not qualifying for such benefits. All options have an exercise price that is not less than the market value of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant.

~~Table of Contents~~

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the market price of the Company's common stock as of the exercise or reporting date.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ in accordance with the Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTI Plan”) for Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”), the Company granted ~~63,267~~69,360 and ~~47,393~~63,267 stock options, respectively, with an exercise price set to equal a 10.0% premium over the grant date stock price. All of the stock options granted vest ratably over three years. The estimated weighted-average grant-date fair value of all stock options granted in the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $4.10 and ~~2018 was~~ $5.05 ~~and $6.52~~ per stock option, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with assumptions as follows:


	Six Months Ended						Three Months Ended
	June 30,						March 31,
	2019			2018			2020			2019
Dividend yield		2.86	%		2.80	%		3.03	%		2.86	%
Expected volatility		23.80			27.53			23.11			23.80
Risk-free interest rate		2.52			2.67			1.47			2.52
Expected option life		6.0	years		6.5	years		6.0	years		6.0	years

Compensation expense attributable to stock options was ~~$52 thousand and $91 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Compensation expense attributable to stock options was $26~~$78 thousand and $39 thousand for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, there was ~~$447~~$548 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~2.3~~2.2 years.

The following table summarizes the status of the Company's stock options as of and for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019:~~March 31, 2020:

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company's RSAs are shares of the Company's common stock that are forfeitable and are subject to restrictions on transfer prior to the vesting date. RSAs are forfeited if the award holder departs the Company before vesting. RSAs carry dividend and voting rights from the date of grant. The vesting of time-vested RSAs depends upon the award holder

Long Term Incentive Plan

RSUs represent an obligation to deliver shares to a grantee at a future date if certain vesting conditions are met. RSUs are subject to a time-based vesting schedule, or the satisfaction of performance conditions, and are settled in shares of the Company's common stock. RSUs do not provide voting rights and RSUs may provide dividend equivalent rights from the date of grant.

Directors Plan

In April 2009, the Company adopted a Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (“Directors Plan”). Under the Directors Plan, independent directors may elect to defer all or a portion of their annual retainer fee in the form of RSUs. In addition, directors receive a non-election retainer in the form of RSUs. These RSUs vest ratably over one year and have dividend rights but no voting rights. In connection with the Directors Plan, the Company recorded expense of $142 thousand and ~~$285~~$143 thousand for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~respectively, and $140 thousand and $275 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,~~ respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In May 2018, the Board of Directors adopted, and stockholders approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). A total of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been initially authorized for issuance under the ESPP. Subject to any plan limitations, the ESPP allows eligible employees to contribute, normally through payroll deductions, up to $25 thousand for the purchase of the Company’s common stock at a discounted price per share for any calendar year. The current offering period is from ~~July~~January 1, ~~2019~~2020 through ~~December 31, 2019.~~June 15, 2020.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019, no shares of common stock were purchased, and no expense was recorded related to the ESPP. During the six months ended June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2020, no shares of common stock were purchased, and no expense was recorded related to the ESPP.

4. SECURITIES

Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax. Equity securities are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in net income. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting in observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. The ~~following tables summarize~~Company has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of debt securities and ~~estimated fair value~~report accrued interest separately in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. A debt security is placed on non-accrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become more than 90 days delinquent or if full collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain. Accrued interest for a security placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income. There were no non-accrual debt securities at March 31, 2020 and there was no accrued interest related to debt securities reversed against interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the CECL Standard, which requires that debt securities held to maturity be accounted for under the current expected credit losses model, including historical loss experience and impact of current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, with an associated allowance for credit losses. In addition, while credit losses on debt securities available for sale ~~and held~~should be measured in accordance with the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) framework under current GAAP, the amendments in the CECL Standard require that these credit losses be presented as an allowance for credit losses. For AFS debt securities, a decline in fair value due to ~~maturity investment securities portfolio at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and~~credit loss results in recording an allowance for credit losses to the ~~corresponding amounts of unrealized gains and losses therein:~~

To the extent that debt securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio share common risk characteristics, estimated ~~fair value by contractual maturity~~expected credit losses are calculated in a manner like that used for loans held for investment. That is, for pools of such debt securities with common risk characteristics, the historical lifetime probability of default and severity of loss in the event of default is derived or obtained from external sources and adjusted for the expected effects of reasonable and supportable forecasts over the expected lives of the ~~available for sale and held to maturity investment~~securities.

~~Other-Than-Temporary Impairment~~Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Available for sale debt securities and the allowance for credit losses

Management evaluates available for sale debt securities for ~~other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”)~~OTTI on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions ~~warrant. The investment~~warrant such evaluation. For securities portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating the portfolio into two general segments and applying the appropriate OTTI model. Investment securities classified as available for sale or held to maturity are generally evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC 320, “Accounting for Certain Investments in ~~Debt and Equity Securities”. In determining OTTI under the FASB ASC 320 model,~~an unrealized loss position, management considers ~~many factors, including: (1)~~ the ~~length~~extent and duration of ~~time~~the unrealized loss, and the ~~extent~~near-term prospects of the issuer. Impairment may result from credit deterioration of the issuer or collateral underlying the security. In performing an assessment of whether any decline in fair value is due to ~~which~~a credit loss, all relevant information is considered at the individual security level. For asset-backed securities performance indicators considered related to the underlying assets include default rates, delinquency rates, percentage of non-performing assets, debt-to-collateral ratios, third party guarantees, current levels of subordination, vintage, geographic concentration, analyst reports and forecasts, credit ratings and other market data. In assessing whether a credit loss exists, we compare the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis for the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited to the amount the fair value ~~has been~~is less than amortized cost ~~(2) the financial condition~~basis. Declines in fair value that have not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses, such as declines due to changes in market interest rates, are excluded from earnings and ~~near term prospects~~reported, net of ~~the issuer, (3)~~tax, in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Management also assesses whether ~~the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent~~it intends to sell ~~the debt security~~ or is more likely than not that it will be required to sell ~~the debt~~a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its ~~anticipated recovery.~~amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. ~~For debt securities that do~~

As of March 31, 2020, none of the Company’s available for sale debt securities were in an unrealized loss position due to credit and therefore no allowance for credit losses on available for sale debt securities was required. Additionally, the calculated allowance for credit losses on held to maturity securities was inconsequential given the high quality composition of the Company’s held to maturity portfolio and therefore no allowance for credit losses was recorded. Accrued interest receivable on securities totaling $2.1 million at March 31, 2020 was included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet and excluded from the amortized cost ~~basis.~~ and estimated fair value totals in the table above.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

Management evaluates available for sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions to determine whether ~~an other-than-temporary decline exists involves~~the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Consideration is given to (1) the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a ~~high degree~~period of ~~subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available~~time sufficient to ~~management at a point~~allow for any anticipated recovery in ~~time.~~fair value.

At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, substantially all of the securities in an unrealized loss position had a ~~fixed~~variable interest rate and the cause of the temporary impairment was directly related to changes in interest rates. The Company generally views changes in fair value caused by changes in interest rates as temporary, which is consistent with its experience. Other asset backed securities are comprised of student loan backed bonds which are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education for 97% to 100% of principal. Additionally, the bonds have credit support of 3% to 5% and have maintained their Aa3 Moody's rating during the time the Bank has owned them. The corporate bonds within the portfolio have all maintained an investment grade rating by either Moody's or Standard and Poor's. None of the unrealized losses is related to credit losses. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the debt. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity. Therefore, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

5. FAIR VALUE

The Company adopted ~~Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)~~ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities during the first quarter of 2018. ~~The Company adopted the amended guidance that requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.~~

FASB ASC No. 820‑10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820‑10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an

~~Table of Contents~~

entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Table of Contents

The Company used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

Securities Available for Sale and Held to Maturity: If available, the estimated fair values are based on independent dealer quotations on nationally recognized securities exchanges and are classified as Level 1. For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair value is based on matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Derivatives: Represents interest rate swaps for which the estimated fair values are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Loans Held for Sale:Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is initially determined using the price we expect to receive for the loans based on commitments received from third-party ~~investors,~~investors. Thereafter, loans held for sale are re-evaluated quarterly to determine if a valuation allowance is required to adjust for a decline in fair value below the carrying amount, resulting in a Level 23 classification.

~~Impaired~~Collateral Dependent Loans with an ACL (Impaired Loans with and ACL prior to the adoption of the CECL Standard) and Other Real Estate Owned: For ~~impaired~~collateral dependent loans where the Company ~~evaluates~~has determined that foreclosure of the ~~fair value~~collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the loan ~~in accordance with current accounting guidance. For loans that are~~to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, ~~dependent,~~the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral ~~is used to determine~~and the ~~fair value~~amortized cost basis of the ~~loan.~~loan as of the measurement date. The fair value of ~~the~~real estate collateral is determined based on recent appraised values. The fair value of other real estate owned is also ~~evaluated in accordance with current accounting guidance and~~ determined based on recent appraised values less the estimated cost to sell. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Adjustments may relate to location, square footage, condition, amenities, market rate of leases as well as timing of comparable sales. All appraisals undergo a second review process to ensure that the methodology employed and the values derived are reasonable. ~~The fair~~Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the ~~loan is compared to~~valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the ~~carrying value to determine if any write-down or specific reserve is required. Impaired loans are evaluated quarterly for additional impairment~~borrower and ~~adjusted accordingly.~~its business. These valuation methods result in a Level 3 classification.

Appraisals for collateral-dependent ~~impaired~~ loans are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, the Appraisal and Credit ~~Department reviews~~Departments review the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. Management also considers the appraisal values for commercial properties associated with current loan origination activity. Collectively, this information is reviewed to help assess current trends in commercial property values. For each collateral dependent ~~impaired~~ loan, management considers information that relates to the type of ~~commercial~~ property to determine if such properties may have appreciated or depreciated in value since the date of the most recent appraisal. Adjustments to fair value are made only when the analysis indicates a probable decline in collateral values. Adjustments made in the appraisal process are not deemed material to the overall consolidated financial statements given the level of ~~impaired~~collateral dependent loans measured at fair value on a ~~nonrecurring~~non-recurring basis.

6. LOANS

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of partial charge-offs, deferred origination costs and fees and purchase premiums and discounts. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct and indirect costs incurred in connection with loan originations are deferred and amortized to income over the life of the related loans as an adjustment to yield. When a loan prepays, the remaining unamortized net deferred origination fees or costs are recognized in the current year. Interest on loans is credited to income based on the principal outstanding during the period. The Company has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of loans and report accrued interest separately from the related loan balance in other assets on consolidated balance sheets. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. Loans that are 90 days past due are automatically placed on non-accrual and previously accrued interest is reversed and charged against interest income. However, if the loan is in the process of collection and the Bank has reasonable assurance that the loan will be fully collectable based upon an individual loan evaluation assessing such factors as collateral and collectability, accrued interest will be recognized as earned. If a payment is received when a loan is non-accrual or a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loan is non-accrual, the payment is applied to the principal balance. A TDR loan performing in accordance with its modified terms is maintained on accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Loans that were acquired through the acquisition of Community National Bank on June 19, 2015 and First National Bank of New York on February 14, 2014, were initially recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. After acquisition, losses are recognized through the allowance for loan losses. Determining fair value of the loans involves estimating the amount and timing of expected principal and interest cash flows to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at a market interest rate. Some of the loans at the time of acquisition showed evidence of credit deterioration since origination. These loans were considered purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans. As of December 31, 2019, the remaining balance of PCI loans was immaterial to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Unless otherwise noted, the above policy is applied consistently to all loan segments.

Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the CECL Standard, which requires that loans held for investment be accounted for under the current expected credit losses model. The allowance for credit losses is established and maintained through a provision for credit losses based on expected losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis. Management monitors its entire loan portfolio regularly, with consideration given to detailed analysis of classified loans, repayment patterns, past loss experience, various types of concentrations of credit, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Additions to the allowance are charged to expense and realized losses, net of recoveries, are charged against the allowance.

The loan loss estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of the Company’s loan portfolio segments. These segments are further disaggregated into loan risk ratings, the level at which credit risk is monitored. When computing allowance levels, credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on expected loss history, delinquency status and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In future periods, evaluations of the overall loan portfolio, in light of the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance and provision for credit losses in those future periods.

Credit quality is assessed and monitored by evaluating various attributes and the results of those evaluations are utilized in our process for estimation of expected credit losses. The allowance level is influenced by loan volumes, loan risk rating migration, historic loss experience and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. The methodology for estimating the amount of expected credit losses reported in the

Table of Contents

allowance for credit losses has two basic components: (1) an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans; and (2) a pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.

Loans that do not share similar credit risk characteristics

For a loan that does not share risk characteristics with other loans, expected credit loss is measured based on net realizable value, that is, the difference between the discounted value of the expected future cash flows, based on the original effective interest rate, and the amortized cost basis of the loan. For these loans, the Company recognizes expected credit loss equal to the amount by which the net realizable value of the loan is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan (which is net of previous charge-offs), except when the loan is collateral dependent, that is, when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. In these cases, expected credit loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the collateral. The fair value of the collateral is adjusted for the estimated costs to sell the loan if repayment or satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the sale (rather than only on the operation) of the collateral.

The fair value of real estate collateral is determined based on recent appraised values. Appraisals are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. All appraisals undergo a second review process to ensure that the methodology employed and the values derived are reasonable. Generally, collateral values for real estate loans for which measurement of expected losses is dependent on collateral values are updated every twelve months. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the borrower and its business. Once the expected credit loss amount is determined, an allowance is provided for equal to the calculated expected credit loss and included in the allowance for credit losses. Pursuant to the Company’s policy, credit losses must be charged-off in the period the loans, or portions thereof, are deemed uncollectable.

Loans that share similar credit risk characteristics

In determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company derives an estimated credit loss assumption from a model that categorizes loan pools based on loan type and further segmented by risk rating. This model is known as Probability of Default/Loss Given Default, utilizing a Transition Matrix approach. This model calculates an expected loss percentage for each loan pool by considering the probability of default, based upon the historical transition or migration of loans from performing (various pass ratings) to criticized, and classified risk ratings to default by risk rating buckets using life-of-loan analysis runout periods for all loan segments, and the historical severity of loss, based on the aggregate net lifetime losses (loss given default) per loan pool. The default trigger, which is defined as the earlier of ninety days past-due or non-accrual status, and severity factors used to calculate the allowance for credit losses for loans in pools that share similar risk characteristics with other loans, are adjusted for differences between the historical period used to calculate historical default and loss severity rates and expected conditions over the remaining lives of the loans in the portfolio. These factors include: (1) lending policies and procedures; (2) international, national, regional and local economic business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various markets; (3) the nature and volume of the loan portfolio including the terms of the loans; (4) the experience, ability, and depth of the lending management and other relevant staff; (5) the volume and severity of past due and adversely classified or graded loans and the volume of non-accrual loans; (6) the quality of our loan review system; (7) the value of underlying collateral for collateralized loans; (8) the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and (9) the effect of external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio. Such factors are used to adjust the historical probabilities of default and severity of loss for current conditions that are not reflective of the model results. In addition, the economic factor includes

Table of Contents

management expectation of future conditions based on a reasonable and supportable forecast of the economy. To the extent the lives of the loans in the portfolio extend beyond the period for which a reasonable and supportable forecast can be made (currently two years), the Bank reverts immediately back to the historical rates of default and severity of loss. Management believes that this transition approach to the Probability of Default/Loss Given Default is a relevant calculation of expected credit losses as there is sufficient volume as well as movement in the risk ratings due to the initial grading system as well as timely updates to risk ratings when necessary. Credit risk ratings are based on management’s evaluation of a credit’s cash flow, collateral, guarantor support, financial disclosures, industry trends and strength of borrowers’ management.

Future additions or reductions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic, market or other conditions. Changes in estimates could result in a material change in the allowance. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of the examination process, periodically review the allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments of the information available to them at the time of their examination.

A loan is considered a potential charge-off when it is in default of either principal or interest for a period of 90, 120 or 180 days, depending upon the loan type, as of the end of the prior month. In addition to delinquency criteria, other triggering events may include, but are not limited to, notice of bankruptcy by the borrower or guarantor, death of the borrower, and deficiency balance from the sale of collateral.

Unless otherwise noted, the above policy is applied consistently to all loan portfolio segments.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as unused lines of credit, commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet when they are funded. In accordance with the CECL Standard, the Company maintains a separate reserve for off-balance sheet credit instruments, which is included in other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Management estimates the amount of expected losses by calculating a commitment usage factor over the contractual period for exposures that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company and applying the loss factors, current conditions and forecasting adjustments used in the allowance for credit loss methodology to the results of the usage calculation to estimate the liability for credit losses related to unfunded commitments for each loan type. No credit loss estimate is reported for off-balance sheet credit exposures that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company. At March 31, 2020, the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations.

There were approximately $246.3 million~~consolidated balance sheet and ~~$275.0 million of acquired CNB loans remaining as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.~~excluded from the table above.

As of ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, one commercial real estate (“CRE”) mortgage loan totaling ~~$16.3~~$12.6 million was classified as held for sale. The loan was reclassified from loans held for investment to loans held for sale and written down from $16.3 million to the loan’s estimated fair value of $12.6 million, through a $3.7 million charge-off ~~recognized in~~during the 2019 second quarter.

Lending Risk

The principal business of the Bank is lending in CRE mortgage loans, multi-family mortgage loans, residential real estate mortgage loans, construction loans, home equity loans, commercial, industrial and agricultural loans, land loans and consumer loans. The Bank considers its primary lending area to be Nassau and Suffolk Counties located on Long Island and the New York City boroughs. A substantial portion of the Bank's loans is secured by real estate in these areas. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of the loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in market and economic conditions in this region.

Commercial Real Estate Mortgages

Loans in this classification include income producing investment properties and owner-occupied real estate used for business purposes. The underlying properties are located largely in the Bank's primary market area. The cash flows of the income producing investment properties are adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn, will have an effect on credit quality. Generally, management seeks to obtain annual financial information for borrowers with loans in excess of $1.0 million in this category. In the case of owner-occupied real estate used for business purposes, a weakened economy and resultant decreased consumer and/or business spending will have an adverse effect on credit quality.

Multi-Family Mortgages

Loans in this classification include income producing residential investment properties of five or more families. Loans are made to established owners with a proven and demonstrable record of strong performance. Loans are secured by a first mortgage lien on the subject property with a loan to value ratio generally not exceeding 75%. Repayment is derived generally from the rental income generated from the property and may be supplemented by the owners' personal cash flow. Credit risk arises with an increase in vacancy rates, property mismanagement and the predominance of non-recourse loans that are customary in the industry.

Residential Real Estate Mortgages and Home Equity Loans

Loans in these classifications are generally secured by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and

2026

Table of Contents

housing prices, can have an effect on the credit quality in this loan class. The Bank generally does not originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80% and does not grant subprime loans.

Commercial, Industrial and Agricultural Loans

Loans in this classification are made to businesses and include term loans, lines of credit, senior secured loans to corporations, equipment financing and taxi medallion loans. Generally, these loans are secured by assets of the business and repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer and/or business spending, will have an effect on the credit quality in this loan class.

Real Estate Construction and Land Loans

Loans in this classification primarily include land loans to local individuals, contractors and developers for developing the land for sale or for the purpose of making improvements thereon. Repayment is derived primarily from sale of the lots/units including any pre-sold units. Credit risk is affected by market conditions, time to sell at an adequate price and cost overruns. To a lesser extent, this class includes commercial development projects that the Company finances, which in most cases require interest only during construction, and then convert to permanent financing. Construction delays, cost overruns, market conditions and the availability of permanent financing, to the extent such permanent financing is not being provided by the Bank, all affect the credit risk in this loan class.

Installment and Consumer Loans

Loans in this classification may be either secured or unsecured. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower and, if applicable, sale of the collateral securing the loan, such as automobiles. Therefore, the overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this loan class.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories of pass, watch, special mention, substandard and doubtful based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt including repayment patterns, probable incurred losses, past loss experience, current economic conditions, and various types of concentrations of credit. Assigned risk rating grades are continuously updated as new information is obtained. Loans risk rated special mention, substandard and doubtful are reviewed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk rating grades:

Pass: Loans classified as pass include current loans performing in accordance with contractual terms, pools of homogenous residential real estate and installment/consumer loans that are not individually risk rated and loans which do not exhibit certain risk factors that require greater than usual monitoring by management.

Watch: Loans classified as watch are considered pass rated loans. These loans carry additional risk factors above those of pass loans but do not have all the risk characteristics of loans classified special mention. Such risk factors require monitoring and if left uncorrected, could lead these loans to be downgraded.

Special mention: Loans classified as special mention, while generally not delinquent, have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Bank's credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. There is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard loan, may also be in delinquency status and have defined weaknesses based on currently existing facts, conditions and values making collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable.

~~Impaired Loans~~

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had individually impaired loans as defined by FASB ASC No. 310, “Receivables” of $17.7 million and $19.4 million, respectively. The decrease in impaired loans was attributable to the payoff of certain troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs”) and other impaired performing loans, partially offset by new TDRs and an increase in non-accrual loans during the six months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Bank modified certain loans as TDRs totaling $4.1 million. For a loan to be considered impaired, management determines after review whether it is probable that the Bank will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management applies its normal loan review procedures in making these judgments. Impaired loans include individually classified non-accrual loans and TDRs and at December 31, 2018 included $2.7 million in other impaired performing loans related to three taxi medallion loans which paid off in January 2019. For impaired loans, the Bank evaluates the impairment of the loan in accordance with FASB ASC 310‑10‑35‑22. Impairment is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. For loans that are collateral dependent, the fair value of the collateral is used to determine the fair value of the loan. The fair value of the collateral is determined based on recent appraised values. The fair value of the collateral or present value of expected cash flows is compared to the carrying value to determine if any write-down or specific loan loss allowance allocation is required.

The following tables set forth the recorded investment, unpaid principal balance and related allowance by class of loans at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for individually impaired loans. The tables also set forth the average recorded

There was no other real estate owned at ~~June 30, 2019. At~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018, other real estate owned totaled $0.2 million and consisted of one property which was sold during the quarter ended June 30,~~ 2019.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The terms of certain loans were modified and are considered TDRs. The modification of the terms of such loans generally includes one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan. The modification of these loans involved loans to borrowers who were experiencing financial difficulties.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed to determine if that borrower is currently in payment default under any of its obligations or whether there is a probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Bank modified five commercial and industrial loans, including three taxi medallion loans, totaling $4.1 million as TDRs compared to eight commercial and industrial loans totaling $6.8 million modified as TDRs during the six months ended June 30, 2018. These modifications did not result in a change to the recorded investment of the loans and did not increase the allowance for loan losses for those periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, there were three charge-offs totaling $84 thousand relating to TDRs and there were two loans

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were no charge-offs relating to TDRs and there were no loans modified as TDRs for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, there ~~were no charge-offs~~was one charge-off totaling $6 thousand relating to TDRs and there ~~were no loans~~was one loan modified as ~~TDRs~~a TDR for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

As of ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company had ~~$111~~$635 thousand and ~~$133~~$405 thousand, respectively, of non-accrual TDRs and ~~$16.9~~$26.9 million and ~~$16.9~~$26.3 million, respectively, of performing TDRs. At ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, non-accrual TDRs were unsecured. The Bank has no commitment to lend additional funds to these debtors.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. These loans have a total recorded investment at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 of ~~$31.8~~$26.8 million. These loans were to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties.

~~Purchased Credit~~ In connection with the COVID-19 relief provided by the CARES Act, the Company is supporting its customers who may experience financial difficulty due to COVID-19 through loan moratoriums and forbearance programs. The Company began offering 90-day payment modifications on a case-by-case basis to those customers whose income was adversely impacted by COVID-19. The loan modifications in this program primarily consist of three-month deferrals of interest and principal payments, which subsequent to March 31, 2020, resulted in loan modifications to approximately 10% of the loan portfolio. These deferrals are not considered TDRs based on interagency guidance issued in March 2020.

Collateral Dependent Loans

At March 31, 2020, the Company had collateral dependent commercial, industrial and agricultural loans which were individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses. These loans totaled $7.3 million and had a related allowance for credit losses totaling $4.4 million at March 31, 2020. The loans were secured by inventory and other assets.

Impaired Loans (prior to the adoption of the CECL Standard)

~~Loans acquired~~At December 31, 2019 the Company had individually impaired loans as defined by FASB ASC 310, “Receivables” of $27.0 million. For a loan to be considered impaired, management determines after review whether it is probable that the Bank will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management applies its normal loan review procedures in ~~a business combination~~making these judgments. Impaired loans include individually classified non-accrual loans and TDRs. At December 31, 2019, impaired loans also included $1.1 million in other impaired performing loans which were related to borrowers with other performing TDRs. For impaired loans, the Bank evaluates the impairment of the loan in accordance with FASB ASC 310‑10‑35‑22. Impairment is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. For loans that are ~~recorded at their~~collateral dependent, the fair value ~~at the acquisition date. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value; therefore, an allowance for loan losses is not recorded at the acquisition date.~~

~~At the acquisition date, the purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans acquired as part~~ of the ~~First National Bank~~collateral is used to determine the fair value of ~~New York (“FNBNY”) acquisition had contractually required principal and interest payments receivable~~the loan. The fair value of ~~$40.3 million,~~the collateral is determined based on recent appraised values. The fair value of the collateral or present value of expected cash flows of $28.4 million, and a fair value (initial carrying amount) of $21.8 million. The difference between the contractually required principal and interest payments receivable and the expected cash flows of $11.9 million represented the non-accretable difference. The difference between the expected cash flows and fair value of $6.6 million represented the initial accretable yield. At June 30, 2019, the contractually required principal and interest payments receivable and carrying amount of the PCI loans was $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, with a remaining non-accretable difference of $0.5 million. At December 31, 2018, the contractually required principal and interest payments receivable and carrying amount of the PCI loans was $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, with a remaining non-accretable difference of $0.5 million.

At the acquisition date, the PCI loans acquired as part of the CNB acquisition had contractually required principal and interest payments receivable of $23.4 million, expected cash flows of $10.1 million, and a fair value (initial carrying amount) of $8.7 million. The difference between the contractually required principal and interest payments receivable and the expected cash flows of $13.3 million represented the non-accretable difference. The difference between the expected cash flows and fair value of $1.4 million represented the initial accretable yield. At June 30, 2019, the contractually required principal and interest payments receivable of the PCI loans was $0.6 million andis compared to the carrying amount was zero, with a remaining non-accretable difference of $0.5 million. At December 31, 2018, the contractually required principal and interest payments receivable and carrying amount of the PCI loans was $1.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, with a remaining non-accretable difference of $0.8 million.

The increase in the first-quarter ACL in 2020 is primarily related to the reasonable and supportable forecast component of the newly adopted CECL Standard. Management believes, based on all of the evidence gathered to date, that COVID-19 will continue to have a meaningful negative impact on economic conditions in 2020, but will be shorter-term in nature, and expects to see an economic recovery begin in 2021 during the second year of the Company’s CECL forecast time horizon.

The following table represents the balance in the allowance for loan losses and the recorded investment in loans, ~~by portfolio segment,~~ as defined under FASB ASC ~~310‑10,~~310-10 (prior to adoption of the CECL Standard), and based on impairment method as of ~~June 30, 2019 and~~ December 31, ~~2018. The tables include loans acquired from CNB and FNBNY.~~2019.

8.7. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT PLANS

The Bank maintains a noncontributory pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) covering all eligible employees. The Bank uses a December 31 measurement date for this plan in accordance with FASB ASC 715‑30 “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – Pension.” During 2012, the Company amended the Pension Plan by revising the formula for determining benefits effective January 1, 2013, except for certain grandfathered employees. Additionally, new employees hired on or after October 1, 2012 are not eligible for the Pension Plan.

During 2001, the Bank adopted the Bridgehampton National Bank Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). As recommended by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and approved by the full Board of Directors, the SERP provides benefits to certain employees, whose benefits under the Pension Plan are limited by the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The benefit under the SERP is equal to the additional amount the employee would be entitled to under the Pension Plan and the 401(k) Plan in the absence of such Internal Revenue Code limitations. The assets of the SERP are held in a rabbi trust to maintain the tax-deferred status of the plan and are subject to the general, unsecured creditors of the Company. As a result, the assets of the rabbi trust are reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

There were no contributions to the Pension Plan during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ respectively. There were no contributions to the SERP during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ respectively. In accordance with the SERP, a retired executive received a distribution totaling ~~$56~~$28 thousand during each of the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ respectively.

Table of Contents

The Company's funding policy with respect to its benefit plans is to contribute at least the minimum amounts required by applicable laws and regulations.

9.8. SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled ~~$0.9~~$1.2 million at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$0.5~~$1.0 million at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The repurchase agreements were collateralized by investment securities, of which ~~18%~~17% were U.S. GSE residential collateralized mortgage obligations and ~~82%~~83% were U.S. GSE residential mortgage-backed securities with a carrying amount of ~~$2.2~~$2.1 million at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~18%~~17% were U.S. GSE residential collateralized mortgage obligations and ~~82%~~83% were U.S. GSE residential mortgage-backed securities with a carrying amount of ~~$2.4~~$2.1 million at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are financing arrangements with ~~$0.9~~$1.2 million maturing during the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. At maturity, the securities underlying the agreements are returned to the Company. The primary risk associated with these secured borrowings is the requirement to pledge a market value-based balance of collateral in excess of the borrowed amount. The excess collateral pledged represents an unsecured exposure to the lending counterparty. As the market value of the collateral changes, both through changes in discount rates and spreads as well as related cash flows, additional collateral may need to be pledged. In accordance with the Company's policies, eligible counterparties are defined and monitored to minimize exposure.

~~10.~~9. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES

The following tables present the contractual maturities and weighted average interest rates of FHLB advances for each of the next five years. There are no FHLB advances with contractual maturities after ~~2019.~~2020.

~~11.~~10. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

In September 2015, the Company issued $80.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated debentures. $40.0 million of the subordinated debentures are callable at par after five years, have a stated maturity of September 30, 2025 and bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 5.25% per year, from and including September 21, 2015 until but excluding September 30, 2020. From and including September 30, 2020 to the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an annual interest rate equal to the then-current three-month LIBOR plus 360 basis points. The remaining $40.0 million of the subordinated debentures are callable at par after ten years, have a stated maturity of September 30, 2030 and bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 5.75% per year, from and including September 21, 2015 until but excluding September 30, 2025. From and including September 30, 2025 to the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an annual interest rate equal to the then-current three-month LIBOR plus 345 basis points. The subordinated debentures totaled ~~$78.9~~$79.0 million at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and ~~$78.8~~$78.9 million at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

The subordinated debentures are included in tier 2 capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations.

~~12.~~11. DERIVATIVES

~~As described in Note 15, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, during~~During the first quarter of 2019 the Company adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. ASU 2017-12 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, permitted. ASU 2017-12 requires a modified retrospective transition method in which the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the statement of financial position as of the date of adoption. The Company has adopted the standard in 2019 with minimal impact to its financial position upon transition.

The Alternative Reference Rates Committee ("ARRC") has proposed that the Secured Overnight Funding Rate ("SOFR") replace USD-LIBOR. ARRC has proposed that the transition to SOFR from USD-LIBOR will take place by the end of 2021. The Company has material contracts that are indexed to USD-LIBOR. Industry organizations are currently working on the transition plan. The Company is currently monitoring this activity and evaluating the risks involved.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

As part of its asset liability management, the Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swap does not represent the amount exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $305.0 million and $290.0 million ~~and $240.0 million~~ at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively, were designated as cash flow hedges of certain FHLB advances. The swaps were determined to be fully effective during the periods ~~presented and therefore no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income.~~presented. The aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets or other liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedges no longer be considered effective. The Company expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining term of the swaps.

Non-Designated Hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges may be used to manage the Company's exposure to interest rate movements or to provide service to customers but do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial lending customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. These interest rate swaps with customers are simultaneously offset by interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party in order to minimize the net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. These interest-rate swap agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and therefore changes in fair value are reported in current period earnings.

Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaled $918.8 million at March 31,

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the termination value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was ~~$12.6~~$69.2 million, while there were no derivatives in a net asset position. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties. If the termination value of derivatives is a net ~~asset~~liability position, the ~~counterparty~~Company is required to post collateral ~~against~~ its obligations to the Company under the agreements. However, if the termination value of derivatives is a net liability position, the Company is required to post collateral to the counterparty. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Company posted collateral of ~~$12.3~~$70.8 million to its counterparties under the agreements in a net liability position and received no collateral from its counterparties under the agreements in a net asset position. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

14. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

~~Standards Effective in 2019~~

~~ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)~~

In February 2016, the FASB amended existing guidance that requires lessees recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. The new guidance also requires enhanced disclosure about an entity’s leasing arrangements. The Company adopted Topic 842 using the transition approach of applying the new leases standard at the beginning of the period of adoption on January 1, 2019. The new guidance includes a number of optional transition-related practical expedients that must be elected as a package and applied by a reporting entity to all of its leases consistently. The Company has elected to apply the package of practical expedients to all of its existing leases, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification as operating leases in accordance with previous GAAP. The effect of adopting this standard in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets was a $39 million increase in operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019. Refer to Note 13. “Leases” for further details of Leases.

~~ASU 2017‑12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities~~

In August 2017, the FASB provided guidance to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. The amendments also simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance. The amendments in the ASU better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes in both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. All transition requirements and elections should be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption. The effect of adoption should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, an entity shall apply a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that an entity adopts the amendments in this ASU. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

~~Table of Contents~~

Standards Effective in 2020

ASU 2016‑13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)

In June 2016, FASB issued guidance to replace the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables, held to maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accountedEffective for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in certain leases recognized by a lessor. In addition, the amendments in this ASU require credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities. For public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, likeperiods after December 31, 2019, the Company adopted the ~~standard is effective~~CECL Standard. Refer to Note 1. “Basis of Presentation” for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For calendar year-end SEC filers, like the Company, the standard is effective for March 31, 2020 interim financial statements. For debt securities with other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”), the guidance will be applied prospectively. Existing PCI assets will be grandfathered and classified as purchase credit deteriorated (“PCD”) assets at the date of adoption. The asset will be grossed up for the allowance for expected credit losses for all PCD assets at the date of adoption and will continue to recognize the noncredit discount in interest income based on the yield of such assets asfurther details of the adoption date. Subsequent changes in expected credit losses will be recorded through the allowance. For all other assets within the scope of CECL, a cumulative-effect adjustment will be recognized in retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company has created a cross-functional CECL committee that is assessing datarecent accounting pronouncement and system needs and implementing required changes to loss estimation methods under the CECL model. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016‑13 in the first quarter of 2020 using the required modified retrospective method with a cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the reporting period. The Company expects the adoption will result in an increase to the allowance for loan losses balance. Theits effect on the Company’s consolidated financial ~~statements is being evaluated.~~statements.

ASU 2017‑04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB amended existing guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendments require an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the requirement for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments are effective for public business entities that are an SEC filer, like the Company, for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments should be applied prospectively. An entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition in the first annual period when the entity initially adopts the amendments. The adoption of ASU 2017‑04 isdid not ~~expected to~~ have ~~a material~~an effect on the Company's consolidated financial ~~statements.~~statements.

ASU 2018‑15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities, like the Company, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this ASU is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2018‑15 isdid not ~~expected to~~ have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial ~~statements.~~statements.

The Holding Company is dependent on dividends from its wholly-owned subsidiary, BNB Bank, its own earnings, additional capital raised, and borrowings as sources of funds. The information in this report reflects principally the financial condition and results of operations of the Bank. The Bank's results of operations are primarily dependent on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on loans and investments and interest expense on deposits and borrowings. The Bank also generates non-interest income, such as fee income on deposit accounts and merchant credit and debit card processing programs, loan swap fees, investment services, income from its title insurance subsidiary, and net gains on sales of securities and loans. The level of non-interest expenses, such as salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, other general and administrative expenses, expenses from the Bank’s title insurance subsidiary, and income tax expense, further affects our net income. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts and the related discussion and analysis to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications did not have an impact on net income or total stockholders' equity.

COVID-19 Operational Update

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus was reported in China, and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. On March 12, 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States, as many state and local governments, including New York, have ordered non-essential businesses to close and residents to shelter in place at home.

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we implemented our contingency plans to ensure the health and safety of our employees and customers. We modified access to our workplace to promote stay-at-home and social distancing mandates. Approximately 300 of our non-branch employees are working remotely. Our branch network continues to operate well, with drive-up, appointment banking, and reduced hours. Our branch employees receive 100% weekly pay, regardless of the number of hours worked. All front-line employees received special payments for work performed during the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, we provided additional paid time off for employees required to quarantine. We enhanced facility cleaning protocols and took additional safety measures at all of our locations.

Paycheck Protection Program

We are an active participant in the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) for small business customers. As of April 30, 2020, we had received over 3,500 loan applications and registered $926 million in total funding requests with the SBA. The top five industries were construction, professional, manufacturing, accommodation/food, and administrative. The mean and median PPP loan amounts were $83 thousand and $248 thousand, respectively.

PPP loans have a two-year term and a 1% interest rate. The SBA pays us fees ranging from 1% to 5% per loan depending on the loan principal amount. Fee income from processing PPP loans is amortized as a yield adjustment over the life of the loan. PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA.

Prior to the commencement of the PPP program, we funded 79 loans totaling $4.2 million with an average loan size of $53 thousand. These streamlined loans were our initial response to the COVID-19 pandemic to quickly provide customers with

Table of Contents

small loans to bridge short term cash flow. We terminated this program and focused our efforts on developing a process to accept PPP loans when the PPP program commenced on April 3, 2020.

COVID-19 Loan Moratoriums and Forbearance Programs

We are supporting our customers who may experience financial difficulty due to COVID-19 through loan moratoriums and forbearance programs. We began offering 90-day payment modifications on a case-by-case basis to those customers whose income was adversely impacted by COVID-19. The loan modifications in this program primarily consist of three-month deferrals of interest and principal payments. As of April 30, 2020, we have approved 275 loan moratoriums totaling $371.6 million, or 9.9% of total loan balances.

The industries we identified as most significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic based on the potential risk to cash flows are hotels, restaurants, passenger transportation, leisure, museums and catering.

Community Support

We continue to support our communities during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing $260 thousand in grants to non-profit partners working on the COVID-19 relief effort in our footprint. These grants are focused on organizations working to address meeting the basic needs of the vulnerable populations, providing emergency food, and health services. We have partnered with local governments to help coordinate emergency relief. The PPP loans we funded also benefitted hundreds of non-profit partners. A portion of the fees generated by the PPP will be set aside to increase funding for local organizations.

We established five strategic objectives to achieve our vision: (1) acquire new customers in growth markets; (2) build new sales and marketing disciplines; (3) deepen customer relationships; (4) expand use of automation; and (5) improve talent management. We believe there remain opportunities to grow our franchise and that continued investments to generate core funding, quality loans and new sources of revenue remain keys to continue creating long-term shareholder value. Our ability to attract, retain, train and cultivate employees at all levels of our Company remains significant to meeting our corporate objectives. In particular, we are focused on expanding and retaining our loan team as we continue to grow the loan portfolio. We have capitalized on opportunities presented by the market and diligently seek opportunities to grow and strengthen the franchise. We recognize the potential risks of the current economic environment and will monitor the impact of market events as we evaluate loans and investments and consider growth initiatives. Our management and Board of Directors have built a solid foundation for growth, and we are positioned to adapt to anticipated changes in the industry resulting from new regulations and legislative initiatives.

Loans that do not share similar credit risk characteristics

For a loan that does not share risk characteristics with other loans, expected credit loss is measured based on net realizable value, that is, the difference between the discounted value of the expected future cash flows, based on the original effective interest rate, and the amortized cost basis of the loan. For these loans, we recognize expected credit loss equal to the amount by which ~~full collectability in accordance with contractual terms~~the net realizable value of the loan is ~~not reasonably assured, considers~~less than the ~~estimated~~amortized cost basis of the loan (which is net of previous charge-offs), except when the loan is collateral dependent, that is, when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. In these cases, expected credit loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the ~~underlying~~collateral. The fair value of the collateral ~~less~~is adjusted for the estimated costs to sell the loan if ~~any,~~repayment or satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the ~~present~~sale (rather than only on the operation) of the collateral.

The fair value of real estate collateral is determined based on recent appraised values. Appraisals are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by us. All appraisals undergo a second review process to ensure that the methodology employed and the values derived are reasonable. Generally, collateral values for real estate loans for which measurement of expected ~~future cash flows,~~losses is dependent on collateral values are updated every twelve months. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the ~~loan’s observable market value. Any shortfall that exists from this analysis results~~time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the borrower and its business.

Loans that share similar credit risk characteristics

In estimating the component of the allowance for credit losses for loans that share similar risk characteristics with other loans, such loans are segmented into loan types. Loans are designated into loan pools with similar risk characteristics based on product type in conjunction with outside sources, are used to determine whether full collectability of a loan is not reasonably assured. These assumptions and judgments are also used to determine the estimates of the fair value of the underlying collateral or the present value of expected future cash flows or the loan’s observable market value. Individual loan analyses are periodically performed on specific loans considered impaired. Individual valuation allowances could differ materially as a result of changes in these assumptions and judgments. The results of the individual valuation allowances are aggregated and included in the overall allowance for loan losses.

other homogeneous characteristics. Loan pool valuation allowances represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the inherent risks associated with our lending activities, but which, unlike individual allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. Pool evaluations are broken down into loans with homogenous characteristics by loan type andtypes include commercial real estate mortgages, owner and non-owner occupied; multi-family mortgage loans; residential real estate mortgages and home equity loans; commercial, industrial and agricultural loans, ~~secured~~real estate construction and ~~unsecured; real estate~~land loans; and consumer loans.

In determining the allowance for credit losses, we derive an estimated credit loss assumption from a model that categorizes loan pools based on loan type and further segmented by risk rating. This model is known as Probability of Default/Loss Given Default, utilizing a Transition Matrix approach. This model calculates an expected loss percentage for each loan pool by considering the probability of default, based upon the historical transition or migration of loans from performing (various pass ratings) to criticized, and classified risk ratings to default by risk rating buckets using life-of-loan analysis runout periods for all loan segments, and the historical severity of loss, based on the aggregate net lifetime losses (loss given default) per loan pool. The default trigger, which is defined as the earlier of ninety days past-due or non-accrual status, and severity factors used to calculate the allowance for credit losses for loans in pools that share similar risk characteristics with other loans, are adjusted for differences between the historical period used to calculate historical default and loss severity rates and expected conditions over the remaining lives of the loans in the portfolio. These factors include: (1) lending policies and procedures; (2) international, national, regional and local economic business conditions

We consider a variety of factors in determining~~developments that affect the ~~adequacy~~collectability of the ~~valuation allowance~~portfolio, including the condition of various markets; (3) the nature and ~~have developed a range~~volume of ~~valuation allowances necessary to adequately provide~~the loan portfolio including the terms of the loans; (4) the experience, ability, and depth of the lending management and other relevant staff; (5) the volume and severity of past due and adversely classified or graded loans and the volume of non-accrual loans; (6) the quality of our loan review system; (7) the value of underlying collateral for ~~probable incurred~~collateralized loans; (8) the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and (9) the effect of external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in ~~each pool~~the existing portfolio. Such factors are used to adjust the historical probabilities of ~~loans. We consider our charge-off history along with~~default and severity of loss for current conditions that are not reflective of the ~~growth~~model results. In addition, the economic factor includes management expectation of future conditions based on a reasonable and supportable forecast of the economy. To the extent the lives of the loans in the portfolio extend beyond the period for which a reasonable and supportable forecast can be made (currently two years), the Bank immediately reverts back to the historical rates of default and severity of loss. Management believes that this transition approach to the Probability of Default/Loss Given Default is a relevant calculation of expected credit losses as there is sufficient volume as well as ~~our credit administration and asset management philosophies and procedures when determining~~movement in the ~~allowances for each pool. In addition, we evaluate and consider credit~~ risk ratings ~~which includes our~~due to the initial grading system as well as timely updates to risk ratings when necessary. Credit risk ratings are based on management’s evaluation ~~of:~~of a credit’s cash flow, collateral, guarantor support, financial disclosures, industry trends and strength of borrowers’ management.

Finally, we evaluate and consider~~considers the allowance ratios and coverage percentages of both peer group and regulatory agency data. These evaluations are inherently subjective because, even though they are based on objective data, it is ~~our~~management’s interpretation of that data that determines the amount of the appropriate allowance. If ~~our~~the evaluations prove to be incorrect, the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses may not be sufficient to cover expected losses inherent in the loan portfolio, resulting in additions to the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses.

For Purchased Credit Impaired (“PCI”) loans, a valuation allowance is established when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all the cash flows expected at acquisition plus additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition. A specific allowance is established when subsequent evaluations of expected cash flows from PCI loans reflect a decrease in those estimates. The allowance established represents the excess of the recorded investment in those loans over the present value of the currently estimated future cash flow, discounted at the last effective accounting yield.

We use assumptions and methodologies that are relevant to estimating the level of impairment and probable losses in the loan portfolio. To the extent that the data supporting such assumptions has limitations, management's judgment and experience play a key role in recording the allowance estimates. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are made by provisions charged to earnings. Furthermore, an improvement in the expected cash flows related to PCI loans would result in a reduction of the required specific allowance with a corresponding credit to the provision.

The Credit Risk Management Committee (“CRMC”) is comprised of management. The adequacy of the allowance is analyzed quarterly, with any adjustment to a level deemed appropriate by the CRMC, based on its risk assessment of the entire portfolio. Each quarter, members of the CRMC meet with the Credit Risk Committee of our Board of Directors to review credit risk trends and the adequacy of the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses. Based on the CRMC’s review of the classified loans, delinquency and charge-off trends,current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and the overall allowance levels as they relate to the entire loan portfolio at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, we believe the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses has been established at levels sufficient to cover the ~~probable incurred~~expected losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Future additions or reductions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic, market or other conditions. Changes in estimates could result in a material change in the allowance. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of the examination process, periodically review the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments of the information available to them at the time of their examination.

For additional information regarding the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses, see Note 76 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the primary contributor to earnings, represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expenses on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends on the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them.

The following ~~table presents~~tables present certain information relating to our average consolidated balance sheets and our consolidated statements of income for the periods indicated and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for

those periods on a tax-equivalent basis based on the U.S. federal statutory tax rate. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from daily average balances and include non-accrual loans. The yields and costs include fees and costs, which are considered adjustments to yields. Interest on non-accrual loans has been included only to the extent reflected in the consolidated statements of income. For purposes of this table, the average balances for investments in debt and equity securities exclude unrealized appreciation/depreciation due to the application of ~~FASB ASC~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.”

Rate/Volume Analysis

Net interest income can be analyzed in terms of the impact of changes in rates and volumes. The following table illustrates the extent to which changes in interest rates and in the volume of average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected our interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in rates (changes in rates multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) the net changes. For purposes of this table, changes that are not due solely to volume or rate changes have been allocated to these categories based on the respective percentage changes in average volume and rate. Due to the numerous simultaneous volume and rate changes during the periods analyzed, it is not possible to precisely allocate changes between volume and rate. In addition, average interest-earning assets include non-accrual loans.

Analysis of Net Interest Income for the Three Months Ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 ~~and 2018~~

Net interest income was ~~$35.5~~$36.7 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 compared to ~~$33.9~~$34.3 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019.

The decrease in tax-equivalent net interest margin for ~~2019~~2020 compared to ~~2018~~2019 reflects the ~~higher~~lower average yield on investment securities and loans, partially offset by lower overall funding costs, due in part to federal funds rate decreases during the ~~Fed Funds~~third and fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020.

For the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, average loans grew by ~~$194.0~~$401.2 million, or ~~6.1%~~12.2%, to ~~$3.4~~$3.7 billion as compared to ~~$3.2~~$3.3 billion for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. The increase in average loans was the result of organic growth in multi-family mortgage loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans, and commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by a decrease in real estate construction and land ~~loans, commercial and industrial loans, multi-family mortgage~~ loans and residential mortgage loans.

Interest income on investment securities ~~was $5.9~~decreased $1.8 million to $4.6 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 compared to ~~$5.7~~$6.4 million for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019, primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of investment securities and a lower average yield on investment securities. Interest income on securities included net amortization of premiums on securities of ~~$0.9~~$0.7 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 compared to ~~$1.2~~$0.6 million for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019.

The ~~increase~~decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities is primarily due to ~~higher overall funding costs due in part to~~federal funds rate decreases during the ~~Fed Funds rate increases in 2018. Since~~third and fourth quarter of 2019 and the Company's interest-bearing liabilities generally reprice or mature more quickly than its interest-earning assets, in a rising rate environment the cost of funds increases faster than the yields on assets. We began extending the terms of certain matured borrowings at the end of the 2017 first quarter ~~in anticipation~~ of further Fed Funds rate increases. Additionally, the large percentages of deposits in money market accounts reprice at short-term market rates, making the balance sheet more liability sensitive.

~~Analysis of Net Interest Income for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018~~

Net interest income was $69.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $68.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Average net interest-earning assets increased $101.0 million to $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in average net interest-earning assets reflects organic growth in loans and a decrease in average borrowings, partially offset by an increase in average deposits and a decrease in average investment securities. Tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased to 3.29% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 3.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in tax-equivalent net interest margin for 2019 compared to 2018 reflects the higher overall funding costs due in part to the Fed Funds rate increases in 2018, partially offset by a higher average yield on investment securities and loans, coupled with a lower volume of borrowings in 2018.

Total interest income increased $8.0 million, or 9.6%, to $90.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $82.9 million for the same period in 2018, as average interest-earning assets increased $169.9 million, or 4.1%, to $4.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $4.1 billion for the same period in 2018. The increase in average interest-earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 2018 reflects organic growth in loans, partially offset by a decrease in average investment securities. The tax-equivalent average yield on interest-earning assets was 4.28% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 4.07% for the same period in 2018.

Interest income on loans increased $6.1 million to $77.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 over 2018, primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, average loans grew by $171.1 million, or 5.4%, to $3.3 billion as compared to $3.2 billion for the same period in 2018. The increase in average loans was the result of organic growth in commercial real estate mortgage loans, real estate construction and land loans, commercial and industrial loans, residential mortgage loans and multi-family mortgage loans. The tax-equivalent yield on average loans was 4.71% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 4.57% for the same period in 2018. We remain committed to growing loans with prudent underwriting, sensible pricing, and limited credit and extension risk.

Interest income on investment securities was $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $11.3 million for the same period in 2018. Interest income on securities included net amortization of premiums on securities of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, average total investment securities decreased by $74.1 million, or 7.8%, to $872.9 million as compared to $947.0 million for the same period in 2018. The tax-equivalent average yield on total investment securities was 2.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2.46% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Total interest expense increased to $21.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $14.4 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is a result of the increase in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities coupled with an increase in average deposits, partially offset by a decrease in average borrowings. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities was 1.52% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 1.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities is primarily due to higher overall funding costs due in part to the Fed Funds rate increases in 2018. Since the Company's interest-bearing liabilities generally reprice or mature more quickly than its interest-earning assets, in a rising rate environment the cost of funds increases faster than the yields on assets. We began extending the terms of certain matured borrowings at the end of the 2017 first quarter in anticipation of further Fed Funds rate increases. Additionally, the large percentages of deposits in money market accounts reprice at short-term market rates, making the balance sheet more liability sensitive. We continue our prudent management of deposit pricing. Average total interest-bearing liabilities were $2.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $2.7 billion for the same period in 2018 due to an increase in average deposits, partially offset by a decrease in average borrowings.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, average total deposits increased by $413.8 million to $3.8 billion as compared to $3.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to increases in average savings, NOW and money market accounts, average demand deposits, and average certificates of deposit. The average balance of savings, NOW and money market accounts increased $284.9 million, or 15.2%, to $2.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The cost of average savings, NOW and money market deposits was 1.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 0.64% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Average demand deposits totaled $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Average balances in certificates of deposit

increased $43.6 million, or 17.2%, to $298.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $254.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The cost of average certificates of deposit increased to 1.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 1.42% for the same period in 2018. Average public fund deposits comprised 16.2% of total average deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 17.3% for the same period in 2018.

Average federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements decreased $120.5 million, or 87.9%, to $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $137.0 million for the same period in 2018. The cost of average federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements was 2.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 1.73% for the same period in 2018. Average FHLB advances decreased $139.4 million, or 36.4%, to $243.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $382.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Provision and Allowance for ~~Loan~~Credit Losses

Our loan portfolio consists primarily of real estate loans secured by commercial, multi-family and residential real estate properties located in our principal lending areas of Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island and the New York City boroughs. The interest rates we charge on loans are affected primarily by the demand for such loans, the supply of money available for lending purposes, the rates offered by our competitors, our relationship with the customer, and the related credit risks of the transaction. These factors are affected by general and economic conditions including, but not limited to, monetary policies of the federal government, including the Federal Reserve Board, legislative policies and governmental budgetary matters.

Based on our adoption of the CECL Standard on January 1, 2020, our continuing review of the overall loan portfolio, the current asset quality of the portfolio, the growth in the loan portfolio and the net charge-offs, and current and forecasted economic conditions, a provision for ~~loan~~credit losses of ~~$3.5 million and $4.1~~$5.0 million was recorded during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2019, respectively,~~March 31, 2020, compared to a provision for ~~loan~~credit losses of ~~$0.4~~$0.6 million ~~and $1.2 million, respectively,~~ during the same ~~periods~~period in ~~2018.~~2019. The increase in the first-quarter 2020 allowance for credit losses is primarily related to the reasonable and supportable forecast component of the newly adopted CECL standard. We believe, based on all of the evidence gathered to date, that COVID-19 will continue to have a meaningful negative impact on economic conditions in 2020 but will be shorter-term in nature and expect to see an economic recovery begin in 2021 during the second year of our CECL forecast time horizon. Net charge-offs were ~~$4.1~~$0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to net charge-offs of $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Net charge-offs were $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to net charge-offs of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in net charge-offs during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, relates primarily to the $3.7 million charge-off related to one CRE loan totaling $16.3 million which was written down to the loan’s estimated fair value of $12.6 millionMarch 31, 2020 and ~~moved into loans held for sale as of June 30,~~ 2019. The ratio of the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses to non-accrual loans was ~~566%~~851%, ~~1,119%~~750% and ~~1,979%~~1,035%, at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, and ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, respectively. The allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses totaled ~~$31.2~~$39.2 million at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 as compared to ~~$31.4~~$32.8 million at December 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~$31.7~~$31.8 million at ~~June 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was ~~0.91%~~1.04% at ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, compared to ~~0.96%~~0.89% at December 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~1.00%~~0.94% at ~~June 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. We continue to carefully monitor the loan portfolio ~~as well as~~ real estate trends in Nassau and Suffolk Counties and the New York City ~~boroughs.~~boroughs, and current and forecasted economic condition.

Loans totaling ~~$74.2~~$84.5 million, or ~~2.2%~~2.3%, of total loans at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 were categorized as classified loans compared to ~~$87.9~~$88.3 million, or 2.4%, at December 31, 2019 and $90.9 million, or 2.7%, at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2018 and $75.9~~ ~~million, or 2.4%, at June 30, 2018.~~2019. Classified loans include loans with credit quality indicators with the internally assigned grades of special mention, substandard and doubtful. These loans are categorized as classified loans because we have information that indicates the borrower may not be able to comply with the present repayment terms. These loans are subject to increased management attention and their classification is reviewed at least quarterly.

At ~~June 30, 2019, $27.5~~March 31, 2020, $30.1 million of classified loans were commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans. Of the ~~$27.5~~$30.1 million of CRE loans, ~~$25.1~~$28.6 million were current and ~~$2.4~~$1.5 million were past due. At ~~June 30, 2019, $11.0~~March 31, 2020, $16.6 million of classified loans were residential real estate loans, with ~~$9.8~~$13.4 million current and ~~$1.2~~$3.2 million past due. Commercial, industrial, and agricultural loans represented ~~$34.2~~$35.0 million of classified loans, with ~~$32.9~~$33.3 million current and ~~$1.3~~$1.7 million past due. Taxi medallion loans represented ~~$9.8~~$9.6 million of the classified commercial, industrial and agricultural loans at ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. All of our taxi medallion loans are collateralized by New York City medallions and have personal guarantees. All taxi medallion loans were current as of ~~June 30~~March 31, 2020~~, 2019.~~. No new originations of taxi medallion loans are currently planned and we expect these balances to continue to decline through amortization and pay-offs. In January 2019, seven taxi medallion loans totaling $6.2 million, net of charge-offs, were paid off under settlements we accepted. The charge-offs related to these settlements were recognized in the 2018 fourth quarter. At ~~June 30~~March 31, 2020, ~~2019,~~ there was ~~$0.8~~$1.5 million of classified real estate construction and land loans, which were past due; $0.9 million of classified consumer loans substantially all of which were current; and $0.4 million of classified multi-family loans which were ~~current; and $0.3 million of classified real estate construction and land loans which were~~ current.

~~Table of Contents~~

CRE loans, including multi-family loans, represented ~~$2.1~~$2.4 billion, or ~~60.4%~~63.5%, of the total loan portfolio at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 compared to ~~$2.0~~$2.4 billion, or ~~59.9%~~64.8%, at December 31, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~$1.9~~$2.0 billion, or ~~59.8~~59.9%, at ~~June 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. Our underwriting standards for CRE loans require an evaluation of the cash flow of the property, the overall cash flow of the borrower and related guarantors as well as the value of the real estate securing the loan. In addition, our underwriting standards for CRE loans are consistent with regulatory requirements with original loan to value ratios generally less than or equal to 75%. We consider charge-off history, delinquency trends, cash flow analysis, and the impact of the local economy on CRE values when evaluating the appropriate level of the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses.

As of ~~June 30, 2019 and~~March 31, 2020, we had $7.3 million in collateral dependent loans individually evaluated for impairment, with a specific reserve of $4.4 million. As of December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, we had individually impaired loans as defined by FASB ASC No. 310, “Receivables” ~~of $17.7 million and $19.4 million, respectively. For a loan~~(prior to ~~be considered impaired, we determine after review whether it is probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms~~adoption of the ~~loan agreement. We apply our normal loan review procedures in making these judgments.~~CECL Standard) of $27.0 million, with a specific reserve totaling $4.7 million. Impaired loans include individually classified non-accrual loans and troubled debt restructuring loans (“TDRs”) and at December 31, 2018 included $2.7 million in other impaired performing loans related to three taxi medallion loans which paid off in January 2019. For impaired loans, we evaluate the impairment of the loan in accordance with FASB ASC 310‑10‑35‑22. Impairment is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. For loans that are collateral dependent, the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell is used to determine the fair value of the loan. The fair value of the collateral is determined based on recent appraised values. The fair value of the collateral less costs to sell or present value of expected cash flows is compared to the carrying value to determine if any write-down or specific loan loss allowance allocation is required. The decrease in impaired loans from December 31, 2018 was attributable to the payoff of certain TDRs and other impaired performing loans, partially offset by new TDRs and an increase in non-accrual loans during the six months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we modified certain loans as TDRs totaling $4.1 million.

Non-accrual loans were $5.5 million, or 0.16%, of total loans at June 30, 2019, and $2.8 million, or 0.09%, of total loans at December 31, 2018. TDRs represent $111 thousand of the non-accrual loans at June 30, 2019 and $133 thousand of the non-accrual loans at December 31, 2018.

~~There was no other real estate owned at June 30, 2019. At December 31, 2018, other real estate owned totaled $0.2 million.~~

At December 31, 2019, impaired loans also included $1.1 million in other impaired performing loans which were related to borrowers with other performing TDRs. Upon adoption of the CECL Standard on January 1, 2020, we re-evaluated our impaired loans to determine which loans should be evaluated on a collective (pooled) basis and which loans do not share similar risk characteristics with loans evaluated using a collective (pooled) basis and therefore should be individually evaluated. The majority of our impaired loans at December 31, 2019 were performing TDRs where there was no write-off of principal as a result of the restructure and interest was at a market rate. We concluded the risks associated with these loans were consistent with the other pooled loans and therefore they were appropriately evaluated on a collective (pooled) basis under the CECL Standard.

Non-accrual loans were $4.6 million, or 0.12%, of total loans at March 31, 2020, and $4.4 million, or 0.12%, of total loans at December 31, 2019. TDRs represent $635 thousand of the non-accrual loans at March 31, 2020 and $405 thousand of the non-accrual loans at December 31, 2019.

There was no other real estate owned at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Non-Interest Income ~~(Loss)~~

Total non-interest income ~~(loss) increased $8.1 million to $5.5 million~~ during the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020 and 2019 ~~compared to $(2.6) million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.~~was $5.2 million. The ~~increase~~change in ~~total~~ non-interest income is ~~driven by an $8.1 million increase in net securities gain,~~ ~~primarily~~ attributable to ~~a $7.9 million net securities loss related to the balance sheet restructure in the 2018 second quarter, and~~ a $0.2 million increase in gain on ~~sale~~sales of ~~Small Business Administration (“SBA”)~~SBA loans ~~partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in title fee income~~ and a $0.1 million ~~decrease in other operating income.~~

~~Total non-interest income increased $9.2 million to $10.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The~~ increase ~~in total non-interest income is driven by an $8.1 million increase in net securities gain,~~ ~~primarily attributable to a $7.9 million net securities loss related to the balance sheet restructure in the 2018 second quarter,~~ ~~a $1.1 million increase in other operating income, primarily due to a rise~~ in loan swap ~~fee income, and a $0.3 million increase in service charges and other~~ fees,partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in ~~title~~other operating income.

Loan swap fees recorded on interest rate swaps increased to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. We increased the notional amount of interest rate swaps to $918.8 million at March 31, 2020, compared to $823.8 million at December 31, 2019. The loan swap program allows us to deliver fixed rate exposure to our customers while we retain a floating rate asset and generate fee income. These interest rate swap agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and therefore changes in fair value are reported in non-interest income in the consolidated statement of income.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was ~~$24.0~~$24.8 million during the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 compared to ~~$22.5~~$22.6 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and benefits, ~~occupancy~~ and ~~equipment expenses,~~ technology and communications, ~~expenses, other operating expenses and marketing and advertising expenses,~~ partially offset by lower ~~professional services and FDIC assessments.~~

Total non-interest expense was $46.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $45.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

in 2018 is primarily due to additional staff related to business development and risk management. Occupancy and equipment increased $0.6 million to $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Technology and communications increased $0.4 million to $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year. Professional services expenses decreased $0.5 million to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018. FDIC assessments decreased $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018. Other operating expenses were $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.2019.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was ~~$2.9~~$2.7 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 compared to ~~$1.7~~$3.4 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, reflecting ~~higher~~lower income before income ~~taxes.~~taxes, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate in the 2020 period.

Income tax expense was $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, reflecting higher income before income taxes. The effective tax rate was 21.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 20.6% for the same period in 2018.2019. We estimate we will record income tax at an effective tax rate of approximately ~~22%~~22.5% for the remainder of ~~2019.~~2020.

Financial Condition

Total assets were ~~$4.7~~$5.1 billion at ~~June 30, 2019, $13.8~~March 31, 2020, $139.4 million, or 2.8%, higher than December 31, ~~2018.~~ 2019.

Total liabilities ~~decreased $7.6~~were $4.6 billion at March 31, 2020, $143.3 million higher than December 31, 2019. The increase in total liabilities in 2020 was mainly due to deposit growth, partially offset by a decrease in FHLB advances.

Total deposits increased $241.1 million, or ~~0.2%~~6.3%, to ~~$4.2~~$4.1 billion at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020, compared to December 31, ~~2018. Total~~2019.

Liquidity

Our liquidity management objectives are to ensure the sufficiency of funds available to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers, and to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities for our growth or earnings enhancement. Liquidity management addresses our ability to meet financial obligations that arise in the normal course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet customer borrowing commitments and deposit withdrawals, either on demand or on contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, to fund current and planned expenditures and to make new loans and investments as opportunities arise.

The Holding Company’s principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of ~~$3.8~~$6.4 million as of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, and dividend capabilities from the Bank. Cash available for distribution of dividends to our shareholders is primarily derived from dividends paid by the Bank to the ~~Holding~~ Company. For the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Bank paid ~~$14.0~~$15.0 million in cash dividends to the Holding Company. Prior regulatory approval is required if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of the Bank's net income of that year combined with its retained

~~Table of Contents~~

net income of the preceding two years. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Bank ~~has $62.8~~had $54.0 million of retained net income available for dividends to the Holding Company. In the event the Holding Company subsequently expands its current operations, in addition to dividends from the Bank, it will need to rely on its own earnings, additional capital raised and other borrowings to meet liquidity needs. The Holding Company did not make any capital contributions to the Bank during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, securities available for sale and securities held to maturity due within one year. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Bank's operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. Other sources of liquidity include loan and investment securities principal repayments and maturities, lines of credit with other financial institutions including the FHLB and FRB, growth in core deposits and sources of wholesale funding such as brokered deposits. While scheduled loan amortization, maturing securities and short-term investments are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank adjusts its liquidity levels as appropriate to meet funding needs such as seasonal deposit outflows, loans, and asset and liability management objectives. Historically, the Bank has relied on its deposit base, drawn through its full-service branches that serve its market area and local municipal deposits, as its principal source of funding. The Bank seeks to retain existing deposits and loans and maintain customer relationships by offering quality service and competitive interest rates to its customers, while managing the overall cost of funds needed to finance its strategies.

The Bank's Asset/Liability and Funds Management Policy allows for wholesale borrowings of up to 25% of total assets. At ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Bank had aggregate lines of credit of $373.0 million with unaffiliated correspondent banks to provide short-term credit for liquidity requirements. Of these aggregate lines of credit, $353.0 million is available on an unsecured basis. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Bank had no overnight borrowings outstanding under these lines. The Bank

Table of Contents

also has the ability, as a member of the FHLB system, to borrow against unencumbered residential and commercial mortgages owned by the Bank. The Bank also has a master repurchase agreement with the FHLB, which increases its borrowing capacity. As of ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020, the Bank had no FHLB overnight borrowings outstanding and $290.0 million outstanding in FHLB term borrowings. As of December 31, 2019, the Bank had no$195.0 million FHLB overnight borrowings outstanding and $240.0 million outstanding in FHLB term borrowings. ~~As of December 31, 2018, the Bank had no FHLB overnight borrowings outstanding and $240.4 million outstanding in FHLB term borrowings.~~ The Bank had ~~$0.9~~$1.2 million and ~~$0.5~~$1.0 million at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively, of securities sold under agreements to repurchase outstanding with customers and no such agreements outstanding with brokers. In addition, the Bank has approved broker relationships for the purpose of issuing brokered deposits. As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the Bank had ~~$42.0~~$77.5 million outstanding in brokered certificates of deposit and ~~$80.7~~$120.3 million outstanding in brokered money market accounts. As of December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Bank had ~~$101.6~~$77.3 million outstanding in brokered certificates of deposit and ~~$150.2~~$85.1 million outstanding in brokered money market accounts.

Liquidity policies are established by senior management and reviewed and approved by the full Board of Directors at least annually. Management continually monitors the liquidity position and believes that sufficient liquidity exists to meet all of the Company’s operating requirements. The Bank’s liquidity levels are affected by the use of short-term and wholesale borrowings and the amount of public funds in the deposit mix. Excess short-term liquidity is invested in overnight federal funds sold or in an interest-earning account at the FRB.

Capital Resources

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital requirements that involve quantitative measures of the Company's and Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's and Bank's capital amounts and classifications also are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total, tier 1 and common equity tier 1 capital to ~~risk weighted~~risk-weighted assets and of tier 1 capital to average assets. Tier 1 capital, ~~risk weighted~~risk-weighted assets and average assets are as defined by regulation. The required

~~Table of Contents~~

minimums for the Company and Bank are set forth in the tables that follow. The Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

On January 1, 2015, the Basel III Capital Rules became effective and include transition provisions through January 1, 2019. These rules provide for the following minimum capital to risk-weighted assets ratios as of January 1, 2015: a) 4.5% based on common equity tier 1 capital ("CET1"); b) 6.0% based on tier 1 capital; and c) 8.0% based on total regulatory capital. A minimum leverage ratio (tier 1 capital as a percentage of total average assets) of 4.0% is also required under the Basel III Capital Rules. The Basel III Capital Rules additionally require institutions to retain a capital conservation buffer, composed of CET1, of 2.5% above these required minimum capital ratio levels. The capital conservation buffer requirement was phased in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increased by 0.625% each subsequent January 1, until fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019. Including the capital conservation buffer, the Company and the Bank effectively have the following minimum capital to risk-weighted assets ratios: a) 7.0% based on CET1; b) 8.5% based on tier 1 capital; and c) 10.5% based on total regulatory capital.

The Company and the Bank made the one-time, permanent election to continue to exclude the effects of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss items included in stockholders' equity for the purposes of determining the regulatory capital ratios.

As of ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank 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, tier 1 risk-based, common equity tier 1 risk-based and tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the tables below. Since that notification, there are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the institution's category.

In accordance with the recently enacted Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, the federal banking agencies ~~are required to develop~~have adopted, effective January 1, 2020, a ~~“Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (the ratio of a bank's tangible equity capital to average total consolidated assets) for~~final rule whereby financial institutions ~~with assets of~~and financial institution holding companies that have less than $10 ~~billion. A “qualifying community bank” that exceeds this~~billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a leverage ratio of greater than 9%, will be ~~deemed~~eligible to opt into a community bank leverage ratio framework (“qualifying community banking organizations”). Qualifying community banking organizations that elect to use the community bank leverage ratio framework and that maintain a leverage ratio of greater than 9% will be ~~in compliance with all other capital~~considered to have satisfied the generally applicable risk-based and leverage ~~requirements, including the~~ capital requirements toin the agencies’ capital rules and will be considered ~~“well capitalized”~~to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action statutes. The ~~federal banking~~ agencies ~~may consider a financial institution's risk profile when evaluating whether it qualifies as a~~reserved the authority to disallow the use of the community bank ~~for purposes of the capital~~leverage ratio ~~requirement. The federal banking agencies must set the minimum capital for the new Community Bank Leverage Ratio at not less than 8% and not more than 10%, and~~framework by a financial institution ~~will be able~~or holding company, based on the risk profile of the organization. The CARES Act and implementing rules temporarily reduced the community bank leverage ratio to ~~elect~~8%, to be ~~subject~~gradually increased back to ~~this new definition.~~9% by 2022. The ~~agencies~~CARES Act also provides that, during the same time period, if a qualifying community banking organization falls no more than 1% below the community bank leverage ratio, it will have ~~issued~~ a ~~proposed rule that, if finalized, would set~~two-quarter grace period to satisfy the ~~minimum Community Bank Leverage Ratio at 9%.~~community bank leverage ratio.

The following tables present actual capital levels and minimum required levels for the Company and the Bank under Basel III rules at ~~June 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2018:~~2019:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Asset/Liability Management

Management considers interest rate risk to be our most significant market risk. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in our net income as a result of changes in interest rates.

Our primary earnings source is net interest income, which is affected by changes in the level of interest rates, the relationship between rates, the impact of interest rate fluctuations on asset prepayments, the level and composition of deposits and liabilities, and the credit quality of earning assets. Our asset and liability management objectives are to maintain a strong, stable net interest margin, to utilize our capital effectively without taking undue risks, to maintain adequate liquidity, and to reduce vulnerability of our operations to changes in interest rates.

Our Asset and Liability Committee evaluates periodically, but at least four times a year, the impact of changes in market interest rates on assets and liabilities, net interest margin, capital and liquidity. Risk assessments are governed by policies and limits established by senior management, which are reviewed and approved by the full Board of Directors at least annually. The economic environment continually presents uncertainties as to future interest rate trends. The Asset and Liability Committee regularly utilizes a model that projects net interest income based on increasing or decreasing interest rates, in order to be better able to respond to changes in interest rates.

At ~~June 30, 2019, $692.4~~March 31, 2020, $587.6 million, or ~~87.9%~~86.7%, of our available for sale and held to maturity securities had fixed interest rates. At ~~June 30, 2019, $2.7~~March 31, 2020, $3.0 billion, or ~~77.7%~~79.7%, of our loan portfolio had adjustable or floating interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect the value of our interest-earning assets and, in particular, our securities portfolio. Generally, the value of securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. Increases in interest rates could result in decreases in the market value of interest-earning assets, which could adversely affect our stockholders' equity and results of operations if sold. We are also subject to reinvestment risk associated with changes in interest rates. Changes in market interest rates also could affect the type (fixed-rate or adjustable-rate) and amount of loans we originate and the average life of loans and securities, which can impact the yields earned on our loans and securities. In periods of decreasing interest rates, the average life of loans and securities we hold may be shortened to the extent increased prepayment activity occurs during such periods which, in turn, may result in the investment of funds from such prepayments in lower yielding assets. Under these circumstances, we are subject to reinvestment risk to the extent that we are unable to reinvest the cash received from such prepayments at rates that are comparable to the rates on existing loans and securities. Additionally, increases in interest rates may result in decreasing loan prepayments with respect to fixed rate loans (and therefore an increase in the average life of such loans), may result in a decrease in loan demand, and may make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable rate loans.

We utilize the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. Management routinely monitors simulated net interest income sensitivity over a rolling two-year horizon. The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and the interest expense paid on all assets and liabilities reflected on our consolidated balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis is compared to the asset and liability policy limits that specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure

~~Table of Contents~~

over a one-year horizon given 100 and 200-basis point upward shifts in interest rates and a 100-basis point downward shift in interest rates. A parallel and pro-rata shift in rates over a twelve-month period is assumed.

In addition to the above scenarios, we consider other non-parallel rate shifts that would also exert pressure on earnings. The current low interest rate environment presents the possibility for a flattening of the yield ~~curve.~~curve, which presents a challenge to a bank, like us, that derives most of its revenue from net interest margin. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, the yield on U.S. Treasury ~~10-year~~5-year notes decreased 69132 basis points from ~~2.69%~~1.69% to ~~2.00%~~0.37%, while the yield on 3-month Treasury bills decreased 33144 basis points from ~~2.45%~~1.55% to ~~2.12%~~0.11%. ~~The decreased gap between short-term and long-term yields resulted in a flatter yield curve~~While the 3-month/5-year Treasury spread increased from 14 basis points at ~~June 30, 2019 versus~~ December 31, ~~2018. A continued flattening of~~2019 to 26 basis points at March 31, 2020, the yield curve continues to be considerably flat compared to the 3-month/5-year Treasury spread of 81 basis points at December 31, 2017. A continued flat or inverted yield curve in ~~2019~~2020 may adversely affect net interest income as borrowers tend to refinance higher-rate fixed rate loans at lower rates and we may not be able to reinvest those prepayments in assets earning interest rates as high as the rates on those prepaid assets.

As noted in the table above, a 200-basis point increase in interest rates is projected to ~~decrease~~increase net interest income by ~~0.22%~~2.48% in year 1 and increase net interest income by ~~7.34%~~7.87% in year 2. Our balance sheet sensitivity to such a move in interest rates at ~~June 30~~March 31, 2020~~, 2019 de~~ increased as compared to December 31, ~~2018~~2019 (which was ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~1.57%~~0.70% in net interest income over a twelve-month period). This ~~decrease~~increase is the result of ~~a decrease in brokered deposits and other borrowings coupled with~~ a higher portion of our loans repricing to market rates. We also continue to show the ability to hold the costs of interest-bearing deposits to below market rates. Overall, our strategy is shifting to a focus on reducing our exposure to falling rates. Over the intervening year, the effective duration (a measure of price sensitivity to interest rates) of the bond portfolio decreased from ~~3.05~~2.35 years at December 31, ~~2018~~2019 to ~~2.30~~2.02 years at ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a Company forecast and should not be relied on as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based on numerous assumptions including, but not limited to, the nature and timing of interest rate levels and yield curve shapes, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While assumptions are developed based on perceived current economic and local market conditions, we cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions including how customer preferences or competitor influences may change. Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to prepayment and refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals, prepayment penalties and product preference changes and other internal and external variables. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that management might take in responding to, or anticipating, changes in interest rates and market conditions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a‑15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of ~~June 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. The Company adopted new internal controls and modified existing internal controls upon the adoption of the CECL Standard for its allowance for credit losses which are substantially similar in nature to the internal controls used prior to the adoption of the CECL Standard for its allowance for loan losses. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain pending and threatened legal actions that arise out of the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of any such pending or threatened litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~There was one change~~In addition to the ~~risks~~other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the following risk factor represents a material update and addition to the risk factors previously disclosed in ~~the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s~~our Annual Report on Form ~~10‑~~10- K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~

~~The performance~~2019 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. To the extent that any of the ~~Bank’s multi-family real estate loans~~information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitutes forward-looking statements, the risk factor set forth below also is a cautionary statement identifying important factors that could ~~be adversely impacted~~cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by ~~regulation.~~or on behalf of us.

~~Multi-family real estate loans generally involve~~The economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak may have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

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

Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are ~~outside~~highly uncertain, including when the ~~control~~coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be reopened. As the result of the ~~borrower or~~COVID-19 pandemic and the ~~Bank,~~related adverse local and ~~could impair the value~~national economic consequences, we may be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:

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

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

our allowance for credit losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties beyond forbearance periods, which will adversely affect our net income;

Table of Contents

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

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

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

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

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

Moreover, our future success and profitability substantially depends on the management skills of our executive officers and directors, many of whom have held officer and director positions with us for many years. The unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees due to the ~~loan~~outbreak could harm our ability to operate our business or ~~the future cash flow of such properties. For example, on June 14, 2019, the State of New York enacted legislation increasing the restrictions on rent increases~~execute our business strategy. We may not be successful in ~~a rent-regulated apartment building, including, among other provisions, (i) repealing the vacancy bonus~~finding and longevity bonus, which allowed a property owner to raise rents as much as 20% each time a rental unit became vacant, (ii) eliminating high rent vacancy deregulation and high-income deregulation, which allowed a rental unit to be removed from rent stabilization once it crossed a statutory high-rent threshold and became vacant, or the tenant’s income exceeded the statutory amountintegrating suitable successors in the ~~preceding two years, and (iii) eliminating an exception that allowed~~event of key employee loss or unavailability. Any one or a property owner who offered preferential rents to tenants to raise the rent to the full legal rent upon renewal. The new legislation still permits a property owner to charge up to the full legal rent once the tenant vacates. As a result of this new legislation as well as previously existing laws and regulations, it is possible that rental income might not rise sufficiently over time to satisfy increases in the loan rate at repricing or increases in overhead expenses (~~e.g., utilities, taxes, etc.). In addition, if the cash flow from a collateral property is reduced (e.g., if leases are not obtained or renewed), the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the value~~combination of the ~~security for the loan may be impaired. Therefore, impaired multi-family real estate loans may be more difficult to identify before they become problematic than residential real estate loans.~~factors identified above could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects.
