1ST Constitution Bancorp
Notes Toto Consolidated Financial Statements
SeptemberJune 30, 20172021
(Unaudited)

(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include 1ST Constitution Bancorp (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, 1ST Constitution Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, 1ST Constitution Investment Company of New Jersey, Inc., FCB Assets Holdings, Inc.Inc and 1st Constitution Real Estate Investment Corporation (the "REIT"), 204 South Newman Street Corp.,which is indirectly owned by the Bank. To qualify as a real estate investment trust for tax purposes, the REIT must have 100 or more shareholders. As a result, less than 20 percent of the REIT’s outstanding non-voting preferred stock has been issued to individual shareholders, consisting of officers, directors and 249employees of the Bank and their adult family members. 1ST Constitution Investment Company of New York Avenue, LLC. 1stJersey, Inc. owns the remaining issued and outstanding preferred stock and common stock of the REIT. 1ST Constitution Capital Trust II, a subsidiary of the Company, is not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as it is a variable interest entity and the Company is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2020, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2017.15, 2021.

In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) whichthat are necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for periods of less than a year are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
During the review of the three months ended June 30, 2017, management became aware that during previously reported periods, the amortization of deferred loan origination costs was being recorded in other operating expenses and not as an adjustment to yield as required by the Financial Standards Accounting Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310-20. As such, management has adjusted interest income and other operating expenses by $435,000 and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date of SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through the date these financial statements were issued.

Novel Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Impact: The sudden emergence of the COVID-19 global pandemic in the first quarter of 2020, and the responses thereto (including business and school closures, restrictions on travel and social distancing protocols), have caused, and are continuing to cause, widespread uncertainty, social and economic disruption, highly volatile financial markets and higher levels of unemployment. As a result, many businesses located in the Bank’s primary market areas of northern and central New Jersey, communities along the New Jersey shore, and the New York City metropolitan area, and their employees, have been adversely impacted.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the businesses and the people in the communities that the Bank serves, and on the Company’s operations and financial performance, will depend on future developments related to the duration, extent and severity of the pandemic and measures taken by governmental and private parties in response thereto, including but not limited to the enactment of further legislation or the adoption of policies designed to deliver monetary aid and other relief to borrowers. In addition, to the extent that the Bank’s customers are not able to fulfill their contractual obligations, the Company’s business operations, asset valuations, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be materially adversely impacted. Material adverse impacts may also include all or a combination of valuation impairments on our intangible assets, investments, loans, deferred tax assets, or other real estate owned ("OREO"). Similarly, the Company’s operations rely on third-party vendors to process, record and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to provide these services, our ability to serve customers could be disrupted. The pandemic could also negatively impact customers’ ability to conduct banking and other financial transactions. The Company’s operations could also be adversely impacted if key personnel or a significant number of employees are unable to work due to illness or restrictions.

On November 6, 2017,March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act to provide relief for individuals and businesses that have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the provisions, the CARES Act includes a provision for the Company to opt out of applying the “troubled-debt restructuring” accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310-40 for certain loan modifications. Loan modifications made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of i) December 30, 2020 or ii) 60 days after the President declares a termination of the COVID-19 national emergency are eligible for this relief if the related loans were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Bank entered into an Agreementadopted this provision as of March 31, 2020.
6



The Economic Aid to Hard Hit Small Business, Not for Profits and PlanVenues Act (“Economic Aid Act”) was enacted in December 2020 in further response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other things, the Economic Aid Act provides relief to borrowers in the form of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”access to additional credit through the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) with New Jersey CommunityPaycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) as originally constituted under the CARES Act. In addition, the Economic Aid Act extended the relief from ASC Topic 310-40, such that the Company is able to opt out of applying the “troubled-debt restructuring” accounting guidance for loan modifications made between January 1, 2021 and the earlier of (i) December 30, 2021 or (ii) 60 days after the President declares a termination of the COVID-19 national emergency; provided, that, the modified loans were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Bank (“NJCB”), providing for the mergeradopted this provision as of NJCB with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). See Note 10 - Subsequent Event - for further information.December 31, 2020.

(2) Net IncomeEarnings Per Common Share

Basic net incomeearnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net incomeearnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as adjusted for the assumed exercise of dilutive common stock warrants and common stock options using the treasury stock method.



The following tables illustrate the reconciliationAwards of the numeratorsrestricted shares are included in outstanding shares when granted. Unvested restricted shares are entitled to non-forfeitable dividends and denominatorsparticipate in undistributed earnings with common shares. Awards of thethis nature are considered participating securities and basic and diluted earnings per common share (EPS) calculations.  are computed under the two-class method.

Dilutive securities in the tables below exclude common stock options and warrants with exercise prices that exceed the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the periods presented. Inclusion of these common stock options and warrants would be anti-dilutive to the diluted earnings per common share calculation.

Trust preferred debt securities – pooled:  This trust preferred debt security was issued by a two2 issuer pool (Preferred Term Securities XXV, Ltd. co-issued by Keefe, Bruyette and Woods, Inc. and First Tennessee (“PRETSL XXV”)), consisting primarily of debt securities issued by financial institution holding companies. During 2009, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $865,000, of which $364,000 was determined to be a credit loss and charged to operations and $501,000 was recognized in the other
11


comprehensive income (loss) component of shareholders’ equity.
The primary factor used to determine the credit portion of the impairment loss to be recognized in the income statement for this security was the discounted present value of projected cash flow, where that present value of cash flow was less than the amortized cost basis of the security. The present value of cash flow was developed using a model that considered performing collateral ratios, the level of subordination to senior tranches of the security and credit ratings of and projected credit defaults in the underlying collateral.
Due to recovery of the cash flows underlying the security, the Company began to accrete the $501,000 of impairment charge in the other comprehensive income component in 2019. Total accretion of $12,000 was recognized in the first six months of 2021 as an increase in the carrying amount of the security. On a quarterly basis, management evaluates thethis security to determine if any additional other-than-temporary impairment is required. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, the security was in an unrealized gain position.2021, management concluded that no additional other-than-temporary impairment had occurred.

million of purchased credit impaired loans, with evidence of deteriorated credit quality that were non-performing while at December 31, 2016, there were $439,000 in acquired loans with evidence of deteriorated credit qualityrespectively, that were not classified as non-performing loans.loans due to the accretion of income.
The Company’s internal credit risk grades are based on the definitions currently utilized by the banking regulatory agencies.  The grades assigned and their definitions are as follows, and loans graded excellent, above average, good and watch list are treated as “pass” for grading purposes:follows:

1.  Excellent - Loans that are based upon cash collateral held at the BankCompany and adequately margined. Loans that are based upon "blue chip"“blue chip” stocks listed on the major stock exchanges and adequately margined.


2.  Above Average - Loans to companies whose balance sheets show excellent liquidity and long-term debt is on well-spread schedules of repayment easily covered by cash flow.  Such companies have been consistently profitable and have diversification in their product lines or sources of revenue.  The continuation of profitable operations for the foreseeable future is likely.  Management is comprised of a mix of ages, experience and backgrounds and management succession is in place. Sources of raw materials and, for service companies, the sources of revenue are abundant.  Future needs have been planned for. Character and management ability of individuals or company principals are excellent.  Loans to individuals are supported by their high net worthsworth and liquid assets.

3.  Good - Loans to companies whose balance sheets show good liquidity and cash flow adequate to meet maturities of long-term debt with a comfortable margin. Such companies have established profitable records over a number of years, and there has been growth in net worth.  Operating ratios are in line with those of the industry, and expenses are in proper relationship to the volume of business done and the profits achieved. Management is well-balanced and competent in their responsibilities. Economic environment is favorable; however, competition is strong. The prospects for growth are good. Loans in this category do not meet the collateral requirements of loans in categories 1graded excellent and 2 above.above average. Loans to individuals are supported by good net worth but whose supporting assets are illiquid.

3w. Watch- Included in this category are loans evidencing problems identified by BankCompany management that require closer supervision.  Such problems havesupervision, but do not developed to the point which requiresrequire a "special mention"“special mention” rating. This category also covers situations where the BankCompany does not have adequate current information upon which credit quality can be determined.  The account officer has the obligation to correct these deficiencies within 30 days from the time of notification.

4.  Special Mention - A "special mention"“special mention” loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management'smanagement’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Bank'sCompany’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the BankCompany to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

5.  Substandard - A "substandard"“substandard” loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the BankCompany will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

6.  Doubtful - A loan classified as "doubtful"“doubtful” has all the weaknesses inherent in oneof a loan classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

7.  Loss - A loan classified as "loss"“loss” is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance on the books is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rathervalue. Rather, this classification indicates that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this loan even though partial recovery may be affectedoccur in the future.

When a loan is identified as impaired, the measurement of impairment is based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when the sole remaining source of repayment for the loan is the liquidation of the collateral.  In such cases, the current fair value of the collateral less selling costs is used. If the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge to the allowance.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
In the normal course of business, the Bank may consider modifying loan terms for various reasons. These reasons may include as a retention strategy to compete in the current interest rate environment or to re-amortize or extend a loan term to better match the loan’s repayment stream with the borrower’s cash flow. A modified loan would be considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the Bank grants a concession to a borrower and has determined that the borrower is troubled (i.e., experiencing financial difficulties).
If the Bank restructures a loan to a troubled borrower, the loan terms (i.e., interest rate, payment, amortization period and maturity date) may be modified in various ways to enable the borrower to cover the modified debt service payments based on current financial statements and cash flow adequacy. If a borrower’s hardship is thought to be temporary, then modified terms may only be offered for only that time period. Where possible, the Bank would attemptattempts to obtain additional collateral and/or secondary repayment sources at the time of the restructuring in order to put the Bank in the best possible position if the borrower is not able to meet the modified terms. The Bank will not offer modified terms if it believes that modifying the loan terms will only delay an inevitable permanent default. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring,TDR, applicable guidance requires that a creditor must separately conclude that the restructuring constitutes a concession and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties.
There were no0 loans modified as a TDR during the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and there was one commercial real estate loan with a pre- and post-modification recorded investment of $2.3 million that was modified as a TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The concession to the borrower was a change in monthly payments to interest only for a period of time.2020. There were no loans modified as a TDR during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and one loan with a recorded investment of $456,000 that was modified as a TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This loan subsequently defaulted within twelve months of restructuring. There were no troubled debt restructurings0 TDRs that subsequently defaulted within twelve12 months of restructuring during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Pursuant to the CARES Act, loan modifications made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of i) December 30, 2020 or ii) 60 days after the President declares a termination of the COVID-19 national emergency are not classified as TDRs if the related loans were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Economic Aid Act, which was enacted in December 2020 in further response to the COVID-19 pandemic, provides relief to borrowers in the form of access to additional credit through the SBA's PPP

(8)(9) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU Update 2017-12 - Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities
In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," which is intended 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. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, it does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASU Update 2017-092016-13 - Scope of Modification Accounting
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 "Scope of Modification Accounting," which clarifies Topic 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation, such that an entity must apply modification accounting to changes in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award unless all of the following criteria are met: (1) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before modification. The standard indicates that if the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique used to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before modification; and (3) the classification of the modification award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the modification.
The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.
The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU Update 2017-08 - Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08 "Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities," which shortens the amortization period for premiums on purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date (i.e., yield-to-earliest call amortization) rather than amortizing over the full contractual term. The ASU does not change the accounting for securities held at a discount.
The amendments apply to callable debt securities with explicit, non-contingent call features that are callable at fixed prices and on preset dates. If a security may be prepaid based upon prepayments of the underlying loans and not because the issuer exercised a date specific call option, it is excluded from the scope of the new standard. However, for instruments with contingent call features, once the contingency is resolved and the security is callable at a fixed price and preset date, the security is within the scope of the amendments. Further, the amendments apply to all premiums on callable debt securities, regardless of how they were generated.
The amendments require companies to reset the effective yield using the payment terms of the debt security if the call option is not exercised on the earliest call date. If the security has additional future call dates, any excess of the amortized cost basis over the amount repayable by the issuer at the next call date should be amortized to the next call date.
The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period.
The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU Update 2017-07 - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost," which requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit costs as follows: (1) service cost must be presented in the same line item(s) as other employee compensation costs. These costs are generally included within income from continuing operations but in some cases, may be eligible for capitalization if certain criteria are met; and (2) all other components of net benefit cost must be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. These generally include


interest cost, actual return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost included in accumulated other comprehensive income and gains or losses from changes in the value of the projected benefit obligation or plan assets.

The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period.

The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU Update 2017-04 - Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which simplifies how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The primary goal of this ASU is to simplify the goodwill impairment test and provide cost savings for all entities by removing the requirement to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities in order to calculate a reporting unit's "implied" goodwill under current U.S. GAAP.

The amendments have staggered effective dates: a public business entity that is an SEC filer should adopt the amendments for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments should be adopted prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.

The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU Update 2017-01 - Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business," which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist companies and other reporting organizations with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments in this ASU provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The current definition of a business is interpreted broadly and can be difficult to apply. Stakeholders indicated that analyzing transactions is inefficient and costly and the definition does not permit the use of reasonable judgment.

Under current implementation guidance, there are three elements of a business: inputs, processes and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a "set") that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. Additionally, all the inputs and processes that a seller uses in operating a set are not required if market participants can acquire the set and continue to produce outputs, for example, by integrating the acquired set with their own inputs and processes.

The ASU introduces a "screen" to assist entities in determining when a set should not be considered a business. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not considered a business. If the screen is not met, the ASU requires that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Further, the ASU removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements (as required under current U.S. GAAP).

For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. No disclosures are required at transition.

The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU Update 2016-20 - Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20 "Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers," amending the new revenue recognition standard that it jointly issued with the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") in 2014. The amendments do not change the core principles of the standard, but clarify certain narrow aspects of the standard, including its scope, contract cost accounting, disclosures, illustrative examples and other matters. The ASU becomes effective concurrently with ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)."


The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU Update 2016-18 - Restricted Cash.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 "Restricted Cash," which updates Topic 230-Statement of Cash Flows, to require that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total cash amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Consequently, transfers between cash and restricted cash will not be presented as a separate line item in the operating, investing or financing sections of the cash flow statement. The ASU includes examples of the revised presentation guidance, and additional presentation and disclosure requirements apply.
For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.
The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU Update 2016-17 - Interests Held Through Related Parties That Are Under Common Control.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17 "Interests Held Through Related Parties That Are Under Common Control," which amends the variable interest entity ("VIE") guidance within Topic 810. It does not change the two required characteristics for a single decision maker to be the primary beneficiary ("power" and "economics"), but it revised one aspect of the related analysis. The amendments change how a single decision maker of a VIE treats an indirect variable interest held through related parties that are under common control when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The ASU requires consideration of such indirect interests on a proportionate basis instead of being the equivalent of direct interests in their entity, thereby making consolidation less likely.

For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted; however, if an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of that fiscal year.

The Company has adopted this guidance and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU Update 2016-15 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," which clarifies whether the following items should be categorized as operating, investing or financing in the statement of cash flows: (1) debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt, (3) settlement of contingent consideration, (4) insurance proceeds, (5) settlement of corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) and bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) policies, (6) distributions from equity method investees, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions and (8) receipts and payments with aspects of more than one class of cash flows.
For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The Company currently classifies cash flows related to BOLI in accordance with the guidance and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU Update 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which requires credit losses on most financial assets to be measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured using an expected credit loss model (referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model).

Under this model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated
prepayments but not expected extensions or modifications unless reasonable expectation of a troubled debt restructuring exists)
from the date of initial recognition of that instrument.



The ASU also replaces the current accounting model for purchased credit impaired loans and debt securities. The allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination ("PCD assets") should be determined in a similar manner to other financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis. Upon initial recognition, the allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price ("gross up approach") to determine the initial amortized cost basis. The subsequent accounting for PCD assets will use the CECL model described above.

The ASU made certain targeted amendments to the existing impairment model for available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities. For an AFS debt security for which there is neither the intent nor a more-likely-than-not requirement to sell, an entity will record credit losses as an allowance rather than a write-down of the amortized cost basis.

For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendmentsCompany, the provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company is currently evaluatinghas completed the initial analysis of its financial assets and will continue to build and validate the CECL models in 2021 to evaluate the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU Update 2016-02: Leases.

In February 2016,April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 "Leases." From the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes a right- of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee2019-04, Codification Improvements to record a ROU assetTopic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and
Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2019-10 provides that the FASB’s recently developed philosophy regarding the implementation of effective dates applies to ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), among other ASUs. For the Company, the provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

ASU 2014-9 Revenue from Contracts with Customers2019-12 - Income Taxes (Topic 606)740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In May 2014,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2014-9, deferred by2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASU 2015-14, “Revenueremoves the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The amendments in this update establishcontinuing operations and income or a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry specific guidance such asgain from other items and removes the real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard's core principle is built onexception to the contract betweeninterim period income tax accounting when a vendor and a customeryear-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the provision of


goods and services. It attempts to depictyear. ASU 2019-12 also simplifies the exchange of rights and obligations between the partiesaccounting for income taxes by requiring that an entity recognize a franchise tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax, that an entity evaluate when a step up in the patterntax basis of revenue recognition based ongoodwill should be considered part of the consideration tobusiness combination in which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this objective,book goodwill originally was recognized, and that an entity reflect the standard requires five basic steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligationseffect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligationsannual effective tax rate computation in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as)interim period that includes the entity satisfies a performance obligation.   Thisenactment date. For public business entities, ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.2020. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2020-02 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842)

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842):” Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU adds and amends SEC paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119, related to the new credit losses standard, and comments by the SEC staff related to the revised effective date of the new leases standard. This ASU is effective upon issuance. See the discussion regarding the adoption of ASU 2016-13 above.

ASU 2020-03 - Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments.” This ASU clarifies various financial instruments topics, including the CECL standard issued in 2016. Amendments related to ASU 2016-13 for entities that have not yet adopted that guidance are effective upon adoption of the amendments in ASU 2016-13. Early adoption is not permitted onlybefore an entity’s adoption of ASU 2016-13. Other amendments are effective upon issuance of this ASU. See the discussion regarding the adoption of ASU 2016-13 above.

ASU 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)" which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued, subject to meeting certain criteria. Under the new guidance, an entity can elect by accounting topic or industry subtopic to account for the modification of a contract affected by reference rate reform as a continuation of the existing contract, if certain conditions are met. In addition, the new guidance allows an entity to elect on a hedge-by-hedge basis to continue to apply hedge accounting for hedging relationships in which the critical terms change due to reference rate reform, if certain conditions are met. A one-time election to sell and/or transfer held-to-maturity debt securities that reference a rate affected by reference rate reform is also allowed. ASU No. 2020-04 became effective for all entities as of annual reporting periods beginning afterMarch 12, 2020 and will apply to all LIBOR reference rate modifications through December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year.

The Company's revenue is comprised of primarily interest income on interest-earning assets less interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest income. The scope31, 2022.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)." The amendments in this update clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. Specifically, certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of loans, loan feesreference rate reform.

(10) Fair Value Disclosures
U.S. GAAP has established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1:Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2:Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3:Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
Level 1:     Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2:    Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3:     Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.  These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value.
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available.  If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters.  Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value.  These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and counterparty creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters.  Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.  The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future values.  While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
Securities Available for Sale.  Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing quoted market prices on nationally recognized exchanges (Level 1) or by usingLevel 1 and Level 2 inputs.  For Level 2 securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service.  The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things.
Interest Rate Lock Derivatives. Interest rate lock commitments do not trade in active markets with readily observable prices. The fair value of an interest rate lock commitment is estimated based upon the forward sales price that is obtained in the best efforts commitment, taking into consideration the probability that the locked rate commitment will close.
Impaired loans.Loans.  Impaired loans are those which the Company has measured and recognized impairment, generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral.  Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third partythird-party appraisals of the collateral or discounted cash flows based on the expected proceeds.  These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.  The fair value consists of the loan balances less specific valuation allowances.


Other Real Estate Owned.  Foreclosed properties are adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs at the time of foreclosure in preparation for transfer from portfolio loans to other real estate owned (“OREO”), thereby establishing a new accounting basis.  The Company subsequently adjusts the fair value of the OREO, utilizing Level 3 inputs on a non-recurring basis to reflect partial write-downs based on the observable market price, the current appraised value of the asset or other estimates of fair value. The fair value of other real estate owned is determined using appraisals, which may be discounted based on management’s review and changes in market conditions.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).  Assets and liabilities subject to fair value adjustments (impairment) on a nonrecurring basis for the nine months ended Septemberat June 30, 20172021 and the twelve months ended December 31, 20162020 were as follows:

The following is a summary of fair value versus carrying value of all of the Company’s financial instruments. For the Company and the Bank, as with most financial institutions, the bulk of assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. Many of the financial instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Therefore, significant estimations and present value calculations were used for the purpose of this note. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.
Estimated fair values have been determined by using the best available data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments as follows:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximate fair value.
Securities Held to Maturity. The fair values of securities held to maturity are determined in the same manner as for securities available for sale.
Loans Held For Sale. The fair values of loans held for sale are determined, when possible, using quoted secondary market prices. If no such quoted market prices exist, fair values are determined using quoted prices for similar loans, adjusted for the specific attributes of the loans.
Gross Loans Receivable. The fair values of loans, excluding impaired loans subject to specific loss reserves, are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses that use market rates as of the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans.  Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal.  Generally, for variable rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
SBA servicing asset. Servicing assets do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. The Company estimates the fair value of an SBA servicing asset using a discounted cash flow model, which incorporates assumptions based on observable discount rates and prepayment speeds.
Interest rate lock derivatives. Interest rate lock commitments do not trade in active markets with readily observable prices. The fair value of an interest rate lock commitment is estimated based upon the forward sales price that is obtained in the best efforts commitment at the time the borrower locks in the interest rate on the loan and the probability that the locked rate commitment will close.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. FHLB stock is carried at cost. The carrying value approximates fair value based upon the redemption price provision of the FHLB stock.


Deposit Liabilities. The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest demand and savings accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts).  Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates of deposit to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Borrowings and Subordinated Debt. The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. The fair values of long-term FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted or estimated interest rates for new borrowings with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. For subordinated debt, which reprices quarterly, the fair value is based on inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for similar debt obligations.
The estimated fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 and December 31, 20162020 were as follows:

OVERVIEW

The Company is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company was organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey in February 1999 for the purpose of acquiring all of the issued and outstanding stock of the Bank, a full-service commercial bank that began operations in August 1989, thereby enabling the Bank to operate within a bank holding company structure. The Company became an active bank holding company on July 1, 1999. Other than its ownership interest in the Bank, the Company currently conducts no other significant business activities.

The Bank operates 25 branches and manages its investment portfolio through its subsidiary, 1ST Constitution Investment Company of New Jersey, Inc. FCB Assets Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of the Bank, is used by the Bank to manage and dispose of repossessed real estate.

On July 11, 2021, the Company and Lakeland (NASDAQ: LBAI), the holding company for Lakeland Bank, entered into the Merger Agreement, providing for the Merger of the Company with and into Lakeland, with Lakeland continuing as the surviving entity. The Merger Agreement provides that, immediately following the consummation of the Merger, the Bank will merge with and into Lakeland Bank (the “Bank Merger”). For additional discussion of the Merger and the Bank Merger, see Note 13 to the financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

COVID-19 Impact and Response

As the Company conducts its daily operations, the health and safety of our employees and customers remains our primary concern and we continue to maintain the same measures and protective procedures that we implemented in 2020.

During the first half of 2021, the Company continued working with customers impacted by the economic disruption. To support our loan and deposit customers and the communities we serve, we continue to provide access to additional credit and forbearance on loan interest and or principal payments for up to 90 days where management has determined that it is warranted.
All loans except for two that had previously received deferrals were no longer deferred at June 30, 2021. The two loans consisted of one hotel loan for $3.1 million that was placed on non-accrual in the third quarter of 2020 and one residential mortgage loan for $871,000 that was placed on non-accrual in the first quarter of 2021.
As a long-standing SBA preferred lender, we actively participated in the SBA’s PPP lending program established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). In 2020, we funded 467 SBA PPP loans totaling $75.6 million, $70.6 million of which had been forgiven by the SBA through the end of the second quarter of 2021.
The Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Business, Not for Profits and Venues Act (“Economic Aid Act”) was enacted in December 2020 in further response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other things, the Economic Aid Act provided
34


relief to borrowers to access additional credit through a second round of the SBA’s PPP. We actively participated in the second round PPP and funded loans totaling $35.3 million, $4.4 million of which had been forgiven by the SBA through the end of the second quarter of 2021.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the GAAP financial results is included in the following table.

(1) The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted return on average total assets, adjusted return on average shareholders’ equity, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted non-interest expenses and tangible book value per common share because management believes that it is helpful to readers in understanding the Company’s financial performance and the effect of the expenses related to the pending Merger on its financial statements. These non-GAAP financial measures improve the comparability of the current period results with the results of the prior periods. The Company cautions that the non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company’s GAAP financial results.

(2) Adjusted non-interest expenses is calculated by subtracting merger-related expenses from total non-interest expenses. Accordingly, adjusted non-interest expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is calculated as total non-interest expenses of $10.5 million and $21.6 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 less $447,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and adjusted non-interest expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is calculated as total non-interest expenses of $9.8 million and $19.6 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 less merger-related expenses of $64,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. There were $13.83 and $12.27, respectively, at Septemberno merger-related expenses incurred in the three months ended June 30, 20172020. Total revenue- tax equivalent is calculated as net interest income tax-equivalent plus total non-interest income.

Earnings Analysis
The Bank’sCompany’s results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is primarily affected by the market interest rate environment, the monetary policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the shape of the U.S. Treasury yield curve and the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Other factors that may affect the Bank’sCompany’s operating results are general and local economic and competitive conditions, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income, the Company’s largest and most significant component of operating income, is the difference between interest and fees earned on loans and other earning assets and interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. This component represented 81.6%79.4% of the Company’s net revenues (defined as net interest income plus non-interest income) for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 compared to 83.7%81.7% of net revenues for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. Net interest income as a percentage of total revenues was 80.8% and 83.8%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.2020.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans and other real estate owned. Non-performing loans are composed of (1) loans on a non-accrual basis and (2) loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest and principal payments but which have not been classified as non-accrual. Included in non-accrual loans are loans, whosethe terms of which have been restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of interest and/or principal because of deterioration in the financial position of the borrower and which have not performed in accordance with the restructured terms. Loan payments that are deferred due to the COVID-19 pandemic continue to accrue interest and are not presented as past due in the table below.

The Bank’s policy with regard to non-accrual loans is that, generally, loans are placed on a non-accrual status when they are 90 days past due, unless these loans are well secured and in process of collection or, regardless of the past due status of the loan, when management determines that the complete recovery of principal or interest is in doubt. Consumer loans are generally charged off after they become 120 days past due. Subsequent payments on loans in non-accrual status are credited to income only if collection of principal is not in doubt.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, non-performing loans increaseddecreased by $1.3$5.2 million to $6.5$12.1 million from $5.2$17.2 million at December 31, 20162020, and the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans increaseddecreased to 0.84%0.98% at SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 compared to 0.72%1.20% at December 31, 2016.2020. During the third quartersix months ended June 30, 2021, $5.0 million of 2017, $365,000 in non-performing loans were resolved as a result of pay-downs, pay-offs and a commercial loan with a balancecharge-offs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, $1.2 million of $775,000 and two residential second mortgages with combined balances of $78,000loans were classified as non-accrual. The increase in non-performing loans was due primarily to a $4.0 million shared national credit syndicated loan that was placed on non-accrual in the first quarterstatus and consisted of 2017. In the second quarter, the borrower was recapitalized througha $94,000 home equity loan, an equity contribution by new investors, the$871,000 residential mortgage loan balance was reduced by $906,000 and all interest was paid current.

Management takes a proactive approach in addressing delinquent loans. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer meets weekly with all loan officers to review the status of credits past-duepast due 10 days or more. An action plan is discussed for delinquent loans to determine the steps necessary to induce the borrower to cure the delinquency and restore the loan to a current status. In addition, delinquency notices are system-generated when loans are five days past-duepast due and again at 15 days past-due.past due.

In most cases, the Company’s collateral is real estate. If the collateral is foreclosed upon, the real estate is carried at fair market value less the estimated selling costs. The amount, if any, by which the recorded amount of the loan exceeds the fair market value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs, is a loss that is charged to the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure or repossession. Resolution of a past-due loan through foreclosure can be delayed if the borrower files a bankruptcy petition because a collection action cannot be continued unless the Company first obtains relief from the automatic stay provided by the United States Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Related Provision

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to absorb estimated credit losses in the loan portfolio as of the date of the financial statements. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve available for losses incurred or inherent in the loan portfolio and other extensions of credit. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy of the Company.

48


The Company’s primary lending emphasis is the origination of commercial business, construction and commercial real estate loans and mortgage warehouse lines of credit.  Based on the composition of the loan portfolio, the inherent primary risks are deteriorating credit quality, a decline in the economy and a decline in New Jersey and New York City metropolitan area real estate market values. Any one, or a combination, of these events may adversely affect the loan portfolio and may result in increased delinquencies, loan losses and increased future provision levels.

Due to the economic disruption and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the allowance for loan losses may increase in future periods as borrowers are affected by the severe contraction of economic activity and the increase in unemployment. This may result in increases in loan delinquencies, downgrades of loan credit ratings and charge-offs in future periods. The allowance for loan losses may increase significantly to reflect the decline in the performance of the loan portfolio and the higher level of estimated incurred losses.

All, or part, of the principal balance of commercial business and commercial real estate loans and construction loans are charged off against the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. Consumer loans are generally charged off no later than 120 days past due on a contractual basis, earlier in the event of bankruptcy, or if there is an amount deemed uncollectibleBecause all identified losses are charged off, no portion of the allowance for loan losses is restricted to any individual loan or groups of loans and the entire allowance is available to absorb any and all loan losses.


Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance on at least a quarterly basis to ensure that the provision for loan losses has been charged against earnings in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance at a level that is adequate based on management’s assessment of probable estimated losses. The Company’s methodology for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses consists of several key elements and is consistent with U.S. GAAP and interagency supervisory guidance.  The allowance for loan losses methodology consists of two major components.  The first component is an estimation of losses associated with individually identified impaired loans, which follows ASC Topic 310.  The second major component is an estimation of losses under ASC Topic 450, which provides guidance for estimating losses on groups of loans with similar risk characteristics. The Company’s methodology results in an allowance for loan losses that includes a specific reserve for impaired loans, an allocated reserve and an unallocated portion.

When analyzing groups of loans, under ASC Topic 450, the BankCompany follows the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. The methodology considers the Company’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans as of the evaluation date. These adjustment factors, known as qualitative factors, include:

Delinquencies and non-accrualsnon-accruals;
Portfolio qualityquality;
Concentration of creditcredit;
Trends in volume of loansloans;
Quality of collateralcollateral;
Policy and proceduresprocedures;
Experience, ability and depth of managementmanagement;
Economic trends - national and locallocal; and
External factors - competition, legal and regulatoryregulatory.

The methodology includes the segregation of the loan portfolio into loan types with a further segregation into risk rating categories, such as special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. This allows for an allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan type; however, the allowance is available to absorb any loan loss without restriction. Larger-balance, non-homogeneous loans representing significant individual credit exposures are evaluated individually through the internal loan review process. It is thisThis process that produces the watch list. The borrower’s overall financial condition, repayment sources, guarantors and value of collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated. Based on these reviews,this evaluation, an estimate of probable losses for the individual larger-balance loans is determined, whenever possible, and used to establish specific loan loss reserves. In general, for non-homogeneous loans not individually assessed and for homogeneous groups of loans, such as residential mortgages and consumer credits, the loans are collectively evaluated based on delinquency status, loan type and historical losses. These loan groups are then internally risk rated.

The watch list includes loans that are assigned a rating of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss.  Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying
49


capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans rated as doubtful in whole, or in part, are placed in non-accrual status. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses.

The specific allowance for impaired loans is established for specific loans that have been identified by management as being impaired. These loans are considered to be impaired primarily because the loans have not performed according to payment terms and there is reason to believe that repayment of the loan principal in whole, or in part, is unlikely. The specific portion of the allowance is the total amount of potential unconfirmed losses for these individual impaired loans. To assist in determining the fair value of loan collateral, the Company often utilizes independent third partythird-party qualified appraisal firms, which employ their own criteria and assumptions that may include occupancy rates, rental rates and property expenses, among others.

The second category of reserves consists of the allocated portion of the allowance. The allocated portion of the allowance is determined by taking pools of outstanding loans that have similar characteristics and applying historical loss experience for each pool. This estimate represents the potential unconfirmed losses within the portfolio. Individual loan pools are created for commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, warehouse lines of credit and various types of loans to individuals. The historical estimation for each loan pool is then adjusted to account for current conditions, current loan portfolio performance, loan policy or management changes or any other qualitative factor that management believes may cause future losses to deviate from historical levels.


The Company also maintains an unallocated allowance.  The unallocated allowance is used to cover any factors or conditions that may cause a potential loan loss but are not specifically identifiable.  It is prudent to maintain an unallocated portion of the allowance because no matter how detailed an analysis of potential loan losses is performed, these estimates, by definition, lack precision.  Management must make estimates using assumptions and information that is often subjective and changing rapidly.
The following discusses the risk characteristics of each of our loan portfolio segments-commercial, mortgage warehouseportfolios.

Commercial Business

The Company offers a variety of commercial loan services, including term loans, lines of credit and consumer.loans secured by equipment and receivables. A broad range of short-to-medium term commercial loans, both secured and unsecured, are made available to businesses for working capital (including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including acquisition and development of real estate and improvements) and the purchase of equipment and machinery. Commercial business loans are granted based on the borrower's ability to generate cash flow to support its debt obligations and other cash related expenses. A borrower's ability to repay commercial business loans is substantially dependent on the success of the business itself and on the quality of its management. As a general practice, the Company takes, as collateral, a security interest in any available real estate, equipment, inventory, receivables or other personal property of its borrowers, although the Company occasionally makes commercial business loans on an unsecured basis. Generally, the Company requires personal guarantees of its commercial business loans to offset the risks associated with such loans. Included in the commercial business loans are SBA PPP loans, which are fully guaranteed by the SBA and are therefore excluded from the allowance for loan losses.

Much of the Company's lending is in northern and central New Jersey, communities along the New Jersey shore, and the New York City metropolitan area. As a result of this geographic concentration, a significant broad-based deterioration in economic conditions in New Jersey and the New York City metropolitan area could have a material adverse impact on the Company's loan portfolio. A prolonged decline in economic conditions in our market area could restrict borrowers' ability to pay outstanding principal and interest on loans when due. The value of assets pledged as collateral may decline and the proceeds from the sale or liquidation of these assets may not be sufficient to repay the loan.

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate loans are made to businesses to expand their facilities and operations and to real estate operators to finance the acquisition of income producing properties. The Company's loan policy requires that borrowers have sufficient cash flow to meet the debt service requirements and the value of the property meets the loan-to-value criteria set in the loan policy. The Company monitors loan concentrations by borrower, by type of property and by location and other criteria.

The Company’s primary lending emphasis is the origination of commercial business andCompany's commercial real estate loans. Based onportfolio is largely secured by real estate collateral located in New Jersey and the compositionNew York City metropolitan area. Conditions in the real estate markets in which the collateral for the Company's loans are located strongly influence the level of the loan portfolio, the inherent primary risks are deteriorating credit quality, aCompany's non-performing loans. A decline in the economy and a decline in New Jersey and New York City metropolitan area real estate markets could adversely affect the Company's loan portfolio. Decreases in local real estate values would adversely affect the
50


value of property used as collateral for the Company's loans. Adverse changes in the economy also may have a negative effect on the ability of our borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans.

Construction Financing

Construction financing is provided to businesses to expand their facilities and operations and to real estate developers for the acquisition, development and construction of residential and commercial properties. First mortgage construction loans are made to developers and builders primarily for single family homes and multi-family buildings that are presold or are to be sold or leased on a speculative basis.

The Company lends to builders and developers with established relationships, successful operating histories and sound financial resources. Management has established underwriting and monitoring criteria to minimize the inherent risks of real estate construction lending. The risks associated with speculative construction lending include the borrower's inability to complete the construction process on time and within budget, the sale or rental of the project within projected absorption periods and the economic risks associated with real estate collateral. Such loans may include financing the development and/or construction of residential subdivisions. This activity may involve financing land purchases and infrastructure development (such as roads, utilities, etc.), as well as construction of residences or multi-family dwellings for subsequent sale by the developer/builder. Because the sale or rental of developed properties is integral to the success of developer business, loan repayment may be especially subject to the volatility of real estate market values. Any one, or a combination, of these events may adversely affect the loan portfolio and may result in increased delinquencies, loan losses and increased future provision levels.

Mortgage Warehouse Lines of Credit

The Company’s Mortgage Warehouse UnitFunding Group provides revolving lines of credit that are available to licensed mortgage banking companies. The warehouse line of credit is used by the mortgage banker to originate one-to-four family residential mortgage loans that are pre-sold to the secondary mortgage market, which includes state and national banks, national mortgage banking firms, insurance companies and government-sponsored enterprises, including the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Government National Mortgage Association and others. On average, an advance under the warehouse line of credit remains outstanding for a period of less than 30 days, with repayment coming directly from the sale of the loan into the secondary mortgage market. Interest and a transaction fee are collected by the Bank at the time of repayment.

As a separate segmentclass of the total loan portfolio, the warehouse loan portfolio is individually analyzed as a whole for the purposes of allowance for loan loss purposes.losses. Warehouse lines of credit are subject to the same inherent risks as other commercial lending, but the overall degree of risk differs. While the Company’s loss experience with this type of lending has been non-existent since the product was introduced in 2008, there are other risks unique to this lending that still must be considered in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. These unique risks may include, but are not limited to, (i) credit risks relating to the mortgage bankers that borrow from the Bank,us, (ii) the risk of intentional misrepresentation or fraud by any of such mortgage bankers, (iii) changes in the market value of mortgage loans originated by the mortgage banker, the sale of which is the expected source of repayment of the borrowings under a warehouse line of credit, due to changes in interest rates during the time in warehouse or (iv) unsalable or impaired mortgage loans so originated, which could lead to decreased collateral value and the failure of a purchaser of the mortgage loan to purchase the loan from the mortgage banker.
These factors, along with the other qualitative factors such as economic trends, concentrations of credit, trends in the volume of loans, portfolio quality, delinquencies and non-accruals, are also considered and may have positive or negative effects on the allocated allowance.  The aggregate amount resulting from the application of these qualitative factors determines the overall risk for the portfolio and results in an allocated allowance for warehouse lines of credit.
Consumer

The Company’s consumer loan segmentportfolio is comprised of residential real estate loans, home equity loans and other loans to individuals. Individual loan pools are created for the various types of loans to individuals. The principal risk is the borrower becomes unemployed or has a significant reduction in income.

In general, for homogeneous groups such as residential mortgages and consumer credits, the loans are collectively evaluated based on delinquency status, loan type and historical losses. These loan groups are then internally risk rated.

The Company considers the following credit quality indicators in assessing the risk in the loan portfolio:

Consumer credit scoresscores;
Internal credit risk gradesgrades;

DuringFor the third quarter of 2017,six months ended June 30, 2021, the Bank recorded a provision for loan losses of $150,000, charge-offs of $61,000 and recoveries of loans previously charged-off of $6,000 compared to no recorded provision for loan losses, no charge-offs and recoveries of loans previously charged-off of $4,000 recorded during the third quarter of 2016. A provision for loan losses was recorded in the third quarter of 2017 due primarily to the growth and the change in the mix of loans in the loan portfolio.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $450,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017$2.0 million, and net charge-offs of $716,000 compared to a credit (negative) provision for loan losses of $3.0 million, and net charge-offs of $165,000 recorded for the first six months of 2020. The higher provision for loan losses recorded for the first six months of 2020 was due primarily to an increase in the amount of $300,000allowance for the nine months ended Septemberestimated increase in incurred losses resulting from economic and social disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

As part of the review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2016. For2021, management reviewed substantially all of the nine months ended September$132.1 million of commercial business and commercial real estate loans that had been modified to defer interest and or principal for up to 90 days in 2020 and 2021. Loans with balances of less than $250,000 were generally excluded from management’s review.

At June 30, 2017,2021, the Company recorded charge-offsallowance for loan losses included $414,000 for loans that were rated Pass-Watch and had received a deferral. This reflects management’s previously reported determination that “Pass-Watch” credit rated loans with modifications or deferrals suggest a weaker financial strength of $162,000the borrower than “Pass” credit rated loans, thereby warranting an additional allowance for loan losses than would ordinarily be reserved for “Pass-Watch” credit rated loans.

Within the loan portfolio, hotel and recoveriesrestaurant-food service industries have been adversely impacted by the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. At June 30, 2021, loans to borrowers in the hotel and restaurant-food service industries were $65.2 million and $61.6 million, respectively. Management reviewed over 92% of previously charged-offthe hotel loans and over 96% of $20,000, while charge-offsthe restaurant-food service loans. At June 30, 2021, management continued to maintain the additional allowance for loan losses of $161,00075 basis points, or $372,000, attributable to restaurant-food service loans and recoveries25 basis points, or $155,000, attributable to hotel loans due to the challenging operating environment for these businesses as a result of previously charged-offthe COVID-19 pandemic.

All construction loans are closely monitored on a quarterly basis and are reviewed to assess the progress of $387,000construction relative to the plan and budget and lease-up or sales of units. As part of this review, a specific reserve for construction loans was increased by $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Management also reviewed loans to schools that are private educational institutions that are generally sponsored or affiliated with religious organizations. These loans totaled $25.7 million at June 30, 2021, and 96% of these loans were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.reviewed.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, the allowance for loan losses was $7.8$16.9 million, or 1.01%1.37% of loans, compared to $7.5$15.6 million, or 1.00% of loans, at September 30, 2016 and $7.5 million, or 1.03%1.09% of loans, at December 31, 2016.2020 and $12.1 million, or 0.89% of loans, at June 30, 2020. The allowance for loan losses was 120%140.41% of non-performing loans at SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 compared to 144%90.77% of non-performing loans at December 31, 20162020 and 143%89.70% of non-performing loans at SeptemberJune 30, 2016. Management believes2020. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2021 included $1.5 million of allowance that was attributable to management's qualitative factors related to the qualityCOVID-19 pandemic and specific reserves of $3.5 million for impaired loans.

Acquisition accounting for the merger with Shore Community Bank (“Shore”) in 2019 and the merger with New Jersey Community Bank (“NJCB”) in 2018 resulted in the Shore and NJCB loans being recorded at their fair value and no allowance for loan losses as of the loan portfolio remains sound, consideringeffective time of the economic climate inrespective mergers. The unaccreted general credit fair value discounts related to the Stateformer Shore and NJCB loans were approximately $1.2 million and $359,000 at June 30, 2021, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2021, there were $36.0 million of New JerseySBA PPP loans which are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and, accordingly, no allowance was provided.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate in relation to credit risk exposure levels and the estimated incurred and inherent losses in the loan portfolio.portfolio at June 30, 2021. However, management expects that the economic disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact businesses, borrowers, employees and consumers in the near term, notwithstanding the wider distribution and availability of vaccines, as uncertainty remains with respect to variants of the virus and the potential reimplementation of certain restrictions and precautionary measures in the Bank’s primary market areas. Management may further increase the provision for loan losses and the allowance for loan losses in response to changes in economic conditions and the performance of the loan portfolio in future periods.

Deposits

Deposits, which include demand deposits (interest bearing and non-interest bearing), savings deposits and time deposits, are a fundamental and cost-effective source of funding. The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in market interest rates and competition. The BankCompany offers a variety of products designed to attract and retain customers, with the Bank’sCompany’s primary focus on the building and expanding of long-term relationships.

Certificates of deposit decreased $187.0 million primarily due primarily to an increasethe maturity of $21.3approximately $147.2 million of short-term internet listing service certificates of deposit that were not renewed. Due to the low interest rate environment, customers generally chose to deposit funds to non-maturity deposit accounts such as NOW and savings accounts, which resulted in non-interest bearing demand deposits, an increase of $17.5 million in interest-bearing demand deposits and a $4.2$78.5 million increase in savings deposits which were partially offset byand a decrease of $7.7$27.7 million increase in timeinterest-bearing demand deposits.

The COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Bank’s ability to increase and or retain customers’ deposits. As the pandemic continues, businesses may experience a loss of revenue and consumers may experience a reduction of income, which may in turn cause them to withdraw their funds to pay expenses or reduce their ability to increase their deposits.

Borrowings

Borrowings are mainly comprised of Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB”) borrowings and overnight funds purchased.  These borrowings are primarily used to fund asset growth not supported by deposit generation.  At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, the Company had $63.0no borrowings compared to $9.8 million of overnightshort-term borrowings from the FHLB compared to $73.1 million of total borrowings at December 31, 2016, which consisted of $63.1 million of overnight borrowings from the FHLB and $10.0 million of long-term FHLB borrowings, which matured in July 2017 and was repaid.2020.

Liquidity
At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, the amount of liquid assets and the Bank'sBank’s access to off-balance sheet liquidity remained at a level management deemed adequate to ensure that contractual liabilities, depositors’ withdrawal requirements and other operational and customer credit needs could be satisfied.
Liquidity management refers to the Company’s ability to support asset growth while satisfying the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawal requirements of customers.  In addition to maintaining liquid assets, factors such as capital position, profitability, asset quality and availability of funding affect a bank’s ability to meet its liquidity needs.  On the asset side, liquid funds are maintained in the form of cash and cash equivalents, federal funds sold, investment securities held to maturity maturing within one year, securities available for sale and loans held for sale.  Additional asset-based liquidity is derived from scheduled loan repayments as well as investment repayments of principal and interest. Investment securities and loans may also be pledged to the FHLB to collateralize additional borrowings. On the liability side, the primary source of liquidity is the ability to generate core


deposits.  Long-term and short-term borrowings are used as supplemental funding sources when growth in the core deposit base does not keep pace with that of interest-earning assets.
The Bank has established a borrowing relationship with the FHLB that further supports and enhances liquidity. The FHLB provides member banks with a fully secured line of credit of up to 50 percent50% of a bank’s quarter-end total assets.  Under the terms of this facility, the Bank’s total credit exposure to the FHLB cannot exceed 50 percent50% of its total assets, or $535.0$894.6 million, at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2021.  In addition, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Bank’s advances, letters of credit, the dollar amount of the FHLB’s minimum collateral requirement for off-balance sheet financial contracts and advance commitments cannot exceed 30 percent30% of the Bank’s total assets, unless the Bank obtains approval from the FHLB’s Board of Directors or its Executive Committee.  These limits are further restricted by a member’s ability to provide eligible collateral to support its obligations to the FHLB as well as the ability to meet the FHLB’s stock requirement. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank pledged collateralapproximately $350.9 million and $469.5 million of loans, respectively, to support the FHLB to support additionalborrowing capacity. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank had available borrowing capacity of $109.0 million.$247.6 million and $301.8 million, respectively, at the FHLB. The Bank also maintains unsecured federal funds lines of $46.0 million with two correspondent banks.banks, all of which were unused and available at June 30, 2021.
The Bank has access to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Discount Window facility. At this time the Bank has not pledged investment securities or loans, which would be required, to support borrowings through the Discount Window facility.

Capital Resources

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital amountsrequirements administered by federal and ratiosstate banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s 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 guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also 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 SeptemberCommon Equity Tier 1, Total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and Tier I capital to average assets (Leverage ratio, as defined). As of June 30, 20172021 and December 31, 20162020, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

To be categorized as follows:adequately capitalized, the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum Common Equity Tier 1, Total capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier I leverage capital ratios as set forth in the below table. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the regulatory standards for well-capitalized institutions. Certain bank regulatory limitations exist on the availability of the Bank’s assets for the payment of dividends by the Bank without prior approval of bank regulatory authorities.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC approved revisions to their capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action rules that implemented and addressed the revised standards of Basel III and addressed relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Federal Reserve Board’s final rules and the FDIC’s interim final rules (which became final in April 2014 with no substantive changes) apply to all depository institutions, top-tier bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $500 million or more (which was subsequently increased to $1 billion or more in May 2015) and top-tier savings and loan holding companies (“banking organizations”). Among other things, the rules established a common equityCommon Equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets) and increased the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-weightedrisk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets). Banking organizations are also required to have a total capital ratio of at least 8% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4%.

The rules also limited a banking organization’s ability to pay dividends, engage in share repurchases or pay discretionary bonuses if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.50%2.5% of common equityCommon Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The rules became


effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015. The fully phased in capital conservation buffer requirements began phasing in on January 1, 2016 at 0.625%is 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and will increase by that amount each year until fully implemented in January 2019 at 2.50% of common equityCommon Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
The largest component of the Company’s total income is net interest income, and the majority of the Company’s financial instruments are composed of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities with various terms and maturities. The primary objective of management is to maximize net interest income while minimizing interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is derived from timing differences and the magnitude of relative changes in the repricing of assets and liabilities, loan prepayments, deposit withdrawals and differences in lending and funding rates. Management actively seeks to monitor and control the mix of interest rate-sensitive assets and interest rate-sensitive liabilities.
Under the interest rate risk policy established by the Company'sCompany’s Board of Directors, the Company established quantitative guidelines with respect to interest rate risk and how interest rate shocks are projected to affect net interest income and the economic value of equity. Due to the current low level of market interest rates, the current monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Board and recent communications from the Federal Reserve Board, management believes that it is more likely that market interest rates may increase than decrease over the intermediate term. Summarized below is the projected effect of a parallel shift of an increase of 100, 200 and 300 basis points, respectively, in market interest rates on net interest income and the economic value of equity. Due to the historically low interest rate environment at June 30, 2021 a parallel shift down of 100 basis points was presented.
Based upon the current interest rate environment, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2021, sensitivity to interest rate risk was as follows:

The Company employs many assumptions to calculate the impact of changes in interest rates on assets and liabilities, and actual results may not be similar to projections due to several factors, including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions and the shape of the yield curve. Actual results may also differ due to management'smanagement’s actions, if any, in response to changing rates. In calculating these exposures, the Company utilized an interest rate simulation model that is validated by third-party reviewers on an annual basis.periodically.

As of June 30, 2021, there were no material changes to the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations disclosed under Part II, Item 7 of the 2020 Form 10-K. Management continues to believe that the Company has adequate capital and liquidity available from various sources to fund projected contractual obligations and commitments.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.Risk
Not required.
The Company’s Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) is responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring asset liability management strategies and advising the Company’s Board of Directors on such strategies, as well as the related level of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk simulation models are prepared on a quarterly basis. These models demonstrate balance sheet gaps and predict changes to net interest income and the economic market value of equity under various interest rate scenarios.

ALCO is generally authorized to manage interest rate risk through the management of capital, cash flows and duration of assets and liabilities, including sales and purchases of assets, as well as additions of borrowings and other sources of medium or longer-term funding.

The following strategies are among those used to manage interest rate risk:

Actively market commercial business loan originations, which tend to have adjustable rate features and which generate customer relationships that can result in higher core deposit accounts;
Actively market commercial mortgage loan originations, which tend to have shorter maturity terms and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans and which generate customer relationships that can result in higher core deposit accounts;
Actively market core deposit relationships, which are generally longer duration liabilities;
Utilize short term and long-term certificates of deposit and/or borrowings to manage liability duration;
Closely monitor and actively manage the investment portfolio, including management of duration, prepayment and interest rate risk;
Maintain adequate levels of capital; and
Utilize loan sales and/or loan participations.

ALCO uses simulation modeling to analyze the Company’s net interest income sensitivity as well as the Company’s economic value of portfolio equity under various interest rate scenarios. The model is based on the actual maturity and estimated repricing characteristics of rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The model incorporates certain prepayment and interest rate assumptions, which management believes to be reasonable as of June 30, 2021. The model assumes changes in interest rates without any proactive change in the balance sheet by management. In the model, the forecasted shape of the yield curve remained static as of June 30, 2021.

In an immediate and sustained 100 basis point increase in market interest rates at June 30, 2021, net interest income for the next 12 months would increase approximately 2.18%, when compared to a flat interest rate scenario. In year two, this sensitivity improves to an increase of 7.50%, when compared to a flat interest rate scenario. In an immediate and sustained 100 basis points decrease in market interest rates, net interest income for year one would increase approximately 0.80% and would decrease approximately 3.50% in year two.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in determining interest rate risk. Simulation modeling requires making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the modeling assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the information provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

Model simulation results indicate the Company is asset sensitive, which indicates the Company’s net interest income should increase in a rising rate environment and decline in a falling interest rate environment. Management believes the Company’s interest rate risk position is balanced and reasonable.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is(ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)


and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.Form 10-Q. Based upon such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2017, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosedas of the end of the period covered by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. This is due to a material weakness identified in the process for compiling the income and expense accounts for inclusion in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the second quarter of 2017. The amortization of deferred loan origination costs was incorrectly included in other operating expenses and should have been included in loan interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. This control deficiency did not result in a material misstatement to the Company’s previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods. There was no effect on pre-tax income, after-tax income, basic and diluted earnings per share, statements of cash flows, balance sheets, book value, return on assets, return on equity, and regulatory capital ratios in any period. However, this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting due to the potential for the control deficiency to result in a material misstatement in the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements that may not be prevented or detected.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitations, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.Form 10-Q.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives,disclosure controls and managementprocedures objectives. Management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Remediation Plan
The Company changed the internal accounting process for compiling the amortization of deferred loan origination costs to include the amortization of deferred loan origination costsChanges in loan interest income and not include it in other operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the control has operated for a sufficient period of time and until management has concluded, through testing, that the control is operating effectively. Management’s goal is to remediate this material weakness by December 31, 2017.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting; however, during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company implemented the changes to its internal control over financial reporting described under the heading “Remediation Plan” above.reporting.

The Company may, in the ordinary course of business, become a party to litigation involving collection matters, contract claims and other legal proceedings relating to the conduct of its business. Management is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings against the Company which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

ThereAs of June 30, 2021, there has been no material change in the risk factors previously disclosed under Part I, Item 1A of the heading "Risk Factors"2020 Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2021, other than the risks and uncertainties described below related to the pending Merger with Lakeland.

Risks Related to the Pending Merger with Lakeland Bancorp, Inc.

Failure to complete the Merger for any reason could negatively impact the stock price and the future business and financial results of the Company.

Completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) Lakeland shareholder approval of the issuance of shares of Lakeland common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (ii) the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s shareholders; (iii) the receipt of all required regulatory approvals; (iv) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the closing; and (v) the effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed by Lakeland with respect to the common stock to be issued in the Merger. In addition, each party’s obligation to consummate the Merger is subject to certain other conditions, including the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party and compliance of the other party with its covenants in all material respects.

If the Merger is not completed for any reason, the business of the Company may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Merger, the Company could be subject to a number of risks. In this regard, the Company faces risks and uncertainties due both to the pendency of the Merger and the potential failure to consummate the Merger, including:

the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement;
the risk that Lakeland’s shareholders may not approve the share issuance;
the risk that the Company’s shareholders may not adopt and approve the Merger Agreement;
the risk that the necessary regulatory approvals may not be obtained or may be obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated;
delays in closing the Merger or other risks that any of the closing conditions to the Merger may not be satisfied in a timely manner or at all;
the diversion of management’s time and resources from ongoing business operations due to issues relating to the Merger;
material adverse changes in the operations or earnings of the Company or Lakeland; and
potential litigation in connection with the Merger.

The termination fee and the restrictions on third party proposals set forth in the Merger Agreement may discourage othersfrom trying to acquire us.

Until the completion of the Merger, with some exceptions, the Company is prohibited from soliciting, initiating, knowingly encouraging or participating in any discussion of any inquiries or proposals that may lead to an acquisition proposal, such as a merger or other business combination transaction, with any party other than Lakeland. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay to Lakeland a termination fee equal to $9.0 million in certain circumstances, including if the Company terminates the Merger Agreement to enter into a transaction with another party,. These provisions could discourage other parties from trying to acquire us even though those other parties may be willing to offer greater value to the Company’s shareholders than Lakeland has offered in the Merger. Similarly, such a competing acquirer may propose a price lower than it may otherwise have been willing to offer because of the potential added expense of the termination fee that may become payable to Lakeland in certain circumstances under the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement also provides certain termination rights to Lakeland. If the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Company seeks another merger or business combination, the market price of Company common stock could decline, which could
61


make it more difficult to find a party willing to offer equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration Lakeland has agreed to provide in the Merger.

If the Merger is not completed, we will have incurred significant expenses without realizing the expected benefits of theMerger and could be subject to additional risks.

Prior to completion of the Merger, the Company has incurred and will incur substantial expenses in connection with the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. If the Merger is not consummated, the Company would have to recognize these expenses without receiving the Merger consideration. In addition, if the Merger is not completed, the Company may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from customers and employees. In such an event, the market price of Company common stock may decline significantly, particularly to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be consummated. These factors and similar risks could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, business and common stock price of the Company.

The Company’s shareholders cannot be certain of the precise value of the Merger consideration they may receive in the Merger because the price of Lakeland’s common stock may fluctuate.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock will be converted into the right to receive 1.3577 shares of Lakeland common stock. Pending the closing of the Merger, the market value of Lakeland common stock may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in Lakeland’s businesses, operations and prospects, and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are outside of the control of Lakeland and the Company. Consequently, at the time that the Company’s shareholders vote to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement, they will not know the actual market value of the shares of Lakeland common stock they will receive when the Merger is completed. The actual value of the shares of Lakeland common stock received by the Company’s shareholders will depend on the market value of Lakeland common stock at the time the Merger is completed, which may be less or more than the value used to determine the exchange ratio provided for in the Merger Agreement.

The Company is subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Merger is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Merger on employees, customers, suppliers and vendors may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. These uncertainties may impair the Company’s ability to retain and motivate key personnel pending the consummation of the Merger, as such, personnel may experience uncertainty about their future roles following the consummation of the Merger. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with Lakeland, the Company’s business could be harmed and the integration of the respective businesses could be more difficult, costly and time consuming. These uncertainties could cause customers (including depositors and borrowers), suppliers, vendors and others who deal with the Company to seek to change existing business relationships or fail to extend an existing relationship with the Company. In addition, competitors may target the Company’s existing customers by highlighting potential uncertainties and integration difficulties that may result from the Merger.

The pursuit of the Merger and the preparation for the integration may place a burden on our management and internal resources. Any significant diversion of management attention away from ongoing business matters and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, in the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to operate its business in the ordinary course prior to closing, and is restricted from taking certain actions without Lakeland’s consent while the Merger is pending. These restrictions may, among other things, limit or prevent the Company from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities, selling assets, incurring indebtedness, engaging in significant capital expenditures in excess of certain limits set forth in the Merger Agreement, entering into other transactions or making other changes to the Company’s business prior to the consummation of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement. These restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s shareholders will not be entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights in the Merger.

Dissenters’ or appraisal rights are statutory rights that, if applicable under law, enable shareholders to dissent from an extraordinary transaction, such as a Merger, and to demand that the Company pay the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to shareholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. Under New Jersey law, holders of Company common stock do not have the right to dissent from the Merger Agreement and seek an appraisal in connection with the Merger.

Litigation may be filed against the Boards of Directors of the Company and/or Lakeland that could prevent or delay the completion of the Merger or result in the payment of damages following completion of the Merger.

In connection with the Merger, it is possible that shareholders of the Company or Lakeland or others may file putative class action lawsuits against the Boards of Directors of the Company and/or Lakeland, and the cost to defend or settle any such litigation could be significant. Among other remedies, shareholders could seek to enjoin the Merger. The outcome of any such litigation would be uncertain. If a dismissal is not granted or a settlement is not reached, such potential lawsuits could prevent or delay completion of the Merger and result in substantial costs to the Company or Lakeland, including costs associated with indemnification obligations of the Company and Lakeland, if any.

The Company and its shareholders may be unable to fully realize the expected benefits from the Merger.

The Company expects to achieve substantial operating and capital synergies and cost savings as a result of the Merger. If the respective businesses are not successfully integrated, or are not integrated in a timely fashion, the Company and its shareholders may face material adverse effects including, but not limited to (i) diversion of the attention of management and key personnel and potential disruption of ongoing businesses, (ii) the loss of employees and customers, (iii) declines in the Company’s results of operations and financial condition and (iv) a decline in the market price of Company common stock. Even if the respective businesses are successfully integrated, there can be no assurance that the Merger will result in the realization of the full benefit of the anticipated synergies and cost savings or that these benefits will be realized within the Company's Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2016.expected time frames.
