Prudential Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Pennsylvania corporation and the parent holding company for Prudential Bank (the “Bank”). The Company is a registered bank holding company.

The Bank is a community-oriented, Pennsylvania-chartered savings bank headquartered in South Philadelphia. The banking office network currently consists of the headquarters and main ~~office(which~~office (which includes a branch office), administrative office, and 10nine additional full-service branch offices. ~~Nine~~Eight of the branch offices are located in Philadelphia (Philadelphia County), one is in Drexel Hill, Delaware County, and one is in Huntingdon Valley, Montgomery County (both Pennsylvania counties). The Bank maintains ATMs at all 1110 of the banking offices. The Bank also provides on-line and mobile banking services.

The Bank is subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (the “Department”), as its chartering authority and primary regulator, and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), which insures the Bank’s deposits up to applicable limits. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to the regulation ofby the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

On June 2, 2016, the Company announced the entering into of a definitive merger agreement with Polonia Bancorp, Inc. (“Polonia Bancorp”); effective January 1, 2017, Polonia Bancorp, merged with and into the Company, and Polonia Bank, Polonia’s wholly owned subsidiary, merged with and into the Bank.

Basis of presentation – The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim information and therefore do not include all the information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results for the three and nine months ended ~~December 31, 2017~~June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, or any other period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The significant accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are the same as those followed on an annual basis. These policies are presented on pages 84 through 88 of the Annual Report on Form ~~10K~~10-K for the year ended September 30, ~~2017.~~2018.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are recorded in the allowance for loan losses, deferred income taxes, other-than-temporary impairment, and the fair value measurement for financial instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Topic 606, and all subsequent ASUs that modified ASC 606. The Company has elected to apply the standard utilizing the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect of adoption for the impact fromuncompleted contracts at the date of adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not result in a change to the accounting for any of the in-scope revenue streams; as such, no cumulative effect adjustments were recorded.

~~In May 2014,~~Management determined that the ~~FASB issued ASU 2014-09,~~~~Revenue~~primary sources of revenue emanating from ~~Contracts~~interest and dividend income on loans and securities along with ~~Customers~~ ~~(a new~~noninterest revenue ~~recognition standard). The Update’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict~~resulting from investment security gains, loan servicing, gains on the ~~transfer~~sale of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this Update specifies the accounting forloans, commitment fees, fees from financial guarantees, certain ~~costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer~~credit cards fees, and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. This Update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Since the guidance scopes out revenue associated with financial instruments, including loan receivables and investment securities, we do not expect the adoption of the new standard, or any of the amendments, to result in a material change from our current accounting for revenue because the majority of the Company's revenue isincome on bank-owned life insurance are not within the scope of ~~Topic~~ASC 606. ~~However, we do expect that~~As a result, no changes were made during the ~~standard will result~~period related to these sources of revenue, which cumulatively comprise 98 percent of the total revenue of the Company. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include income from service charges on deposit accounts, other service income, ATM fees and gain on sale of Other Real Estate Owned, net. For these accounts, fees are related to specific customer transactions and are attributable to specific performance obligations of the Bank where the revenue is recognized at a defined point in ~~new disclosure requirements, which are currently being evaluated~~.time: completion of the requested service/transaction.

~~In January 2016,~~Effective October 1, 2018, the ~~FASB issued~~Company adopted ASU 2016-01,Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Update applies to all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities and is intended to provide more useful information on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, this Update (a) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; (d) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (e) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (f) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (g) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ~~For public business entities, the amendments in~~The adoption of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that aredid not public business entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating thehave a significant impact ~~the adoption of the standard will have~~ on the Company’s financial ~~position or results of operations~~statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as one in which (a) the lease term is 12 months or less and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect to recognize lease payments over the lease term on a straight-line basis. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the practical expedients it may elect at adoption, but does not anticipate the amendments will have a significant impact on the financial statements. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis of its current portfolio, the impact to the Company’s balance sheet is estimated to result in less than a 1one percent increase in assets and liabilities. The Company also anticipates additional disclosures to be provided at adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This Update is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of the Update is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be ~~effected~~affected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. With certain exceptions, transition to the new requirements will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We expect to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In ~~August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,~~~~Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments~~, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. Among these include recognizing cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment as cash outflows for financing activities; cash proceeds received from the settlement of insurance claims should be classified on the basis of the related insurance coverage; and cash proceeds received from the settlement of bank-owned life insurance policies should be classified as cash inflows from investing activities while the cash payments for premiums on bank-owned policies may be classified as cash outflows for investing activities, operating activities, or a combination of investing and operating activities. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. 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 amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s statement of cash flows.

~~In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01,~~~~Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business~~, which provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. Public business entities should apply the amendments in this Update to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. All other entities should apply the amendments to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

~~In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,~~~~Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment~~. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, including not-for-profit entities, that are adopting the amendments in this Update should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021.~~This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.~~

~~In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05,~~~~Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20).~~The amendments in this Update clarify what constitutes a financial asset within the scope of Subtopic 610-20. The amendments also clarify that entities should identify each distinct nonfinancial asset or in substance nonfinancial asset that is promised to a counterparty and to derecognize each asset when the counterparty obtains control. There is also additional guidance provided for partial sales of a nonfinancial asset and when derecognition, and the related gain or loss, should be recognized. The amendments in this Update are effective at the same time as the amendments in Update 2014-09.

The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In ~~January~~August 2018, the FASB issued ASU ~~2018-01,~~2018-13,~~Leases~~Fair Value Measurement (Topic ~~842)~~820): Disclosure Framework – Changes the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements~~, which provides an optional transition practical expedient~~.

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01,Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, which addressed issues lessors sometimes encounter. Specifically addressed in this Update were issues related to 1) determining the fair value of the underlying asset by the lessor that are not manufacturers or dealers (generally financial institutions and captive finance companies), and 2) lessors that are depository and lending institutions should classify principal and payments received under sales-type and direct financing leases within investing activities in the cash flow statement. The ASU also exempts both lessees and lessors from having to provide the interim disclosures required by ASC 250-10-50-3 in the fiscal year in which a company adopts the new leases standard. The amendments addressing the two lessor accounting issues are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05,Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 326, which allows entities to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost upon adoption of the new credit losses standard. To be eligible for the transition election, the existing financial asset must otherwise be both within the scope of the new credit losses standard and eligible for the applying the fair value option in ASC 825-10.3. The election must be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is not available for either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities. For entities that elect the fair value option, the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the financial asset would be recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the date an entity adopted ASU 2016-13. Changes in fair value of that financial asset would subsequently be reported in current earnings. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13, the effective dates and transition requirements are the same as those in ASU 2016-13. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2019-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock ~~outstanding,~~issued, net of any treasury shares and unearned restricted share awards, during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, net of any treasury shares, after consideration of the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, based upon the treasury stock method using an average market price for the period.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least once each quarter, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The evaluation is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors, the underlying collateral, if applicable, and the continuing performance of the securities. Management also evaluates other facts and circumstances that may be indicative of an OTTI condition. This includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of the type of security, the length of time and extent to which the fair value of the security has been less than cost, and the near-term prospects of the issuer.

The Company assesses whether a credit loss exists with respect to a security by considering whether (1) the Company has the intent to sell the security, (2) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery has occurred, or (3) it does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. The Company bifurcates the OTTI impact on impaired securities where impairment in value ~~was~~is deemed to be other than temporary between the component representing credit loss and the component representing loss related to other factors. The portion of the fair value decline attributable to credit loss must be recognized through a charge to earnings. The credit component is determined by comparing the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the rate in effect before recognizing any OTTI, with the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The Company uses the cash flows expected to be realized from the security, which includes assumptions about interest rates, timing and severity of defaults, estimates of potential recoveries, the cash flow distribution from the security and other factors, then applies a discount rate equal to the effective yield of the security. The difference between the present value of the expected cash flows and the amortized book value is considered a credit loss. The fair value of the security is determined using the same expected cash flows; the discount rate is a rate the Company determines from open market and other sources as appropriate for the particular security. The difference between the fair value and the security’s remaining amortized cost is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

For both the three and nine months ended ~~December 31, 2017~~June 30, 2019 and ~~2016,~~2018, the Company did not record any credit losses on investment securities through earnings.

U.S. Government and Agency Obligations -At ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, there were ~~two~~no securities in a gross unrealized loss position for less than 12 months while there were ~~thirteen~~14 securities in a gross unrealized loss position for more than 12 months at such date. These securities represent asset-backed issues that are issued or guaranteed by a U.S. Government sponsored agency or carry the full faith and credit of the United States through a government agency and are currently rated AAA by at least one bond credit rating agency. As a result, the Company does not consider any of these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2019.

Mortgage-Backed Securities –At June 30, 2019, there were two mortgage-backed securities in a gross unrealized loss position for less than 12 months, while there were 49 securities in a gross unrealized loss position for more than 12 months at such date.

As a result, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2017.

~~Corporate Debt Securities~~ ~~– At December 31, 2017, there were 21 securities in a gross unrealized loss for less than 12 months, while there were five~~six securities in a gross unrealized loss position for more than 12 months at such date. These securities are ~~backed~~issued by publicly traded companies with an investment grade rating by at least one bond credit rating agency. As a result, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at ~~December 31, 2017.~~June 30, 2019.

State and political subdivisions– At ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, there were ~~six~~no securities in a gross unrealized loss for less than 12 months, while there ~~was one security~~were nine securities in a gross unrealized loss position for more than 12 months at such date.

As a result, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at ~~December 31, 2017.~~June 30, 2019.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The maturity table below excludes mortgage-backed securities because the contractual maturities of such securities are not indicative of actual maturities due to significant prepayments.

~~During the three month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not sell any securities.~~

During the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019, the Company sold securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $49.1 million and $61.9 million, respectively, for a recognized aggregate gain of $511,000 and $628,000 respectively (pre-tax). During the both three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2018, the Company sold securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $11.7 million and none, respectively, for a recognized aggregate loss of $376,000 (pre-tax). The sales were of securities which bore yields below market rates in order to better position the securities portfolio in a rising rate environment.

The loan portfolio is segmented at a level that allows management to monitor both risk and performance. Management evaluates for potential impairment all construction loans, multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, ~~and all~~loans to financial institutions, leases and all loans and leases more than 90 days delinquent as to principal and/or interest. Loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect in full the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Once the determination is made that a loan is impaired, the determination of whether a specific allocation of the allowance is necessary is generally measured by comparing the recorded investment in the loan to the fair value of the loan using one of the following three methods: (a) the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (b) the loan’s observable market price; or (c) the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. Management primarily utilizes the fair value of collateral method as a practically expedient alternative. On collateral method evaluations, any portion of the loan deemed uncollectible is charged-off against the loan loss allowance.

The following table presents impaired loans by class as of ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and those for which a specific allowance was not required.

Federal regulations and our loan policy require that the Company utilize an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. The Company has incorporated an internal asset classification system, consistent with Federal banking regulations, as a part of its credit monitoring system. Management currently classifies problem and potential problem assets as “special mention”, “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the three aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are required to be designated “special mention.”

The following tables present the classes of the loan portfolio in which a formal risk weighting system is utilized summarized by the aggregate “Pass” and the criticized category of “special mention”, and the classified categories of “substandard”, “doubtful” and “loss” within the Company’s risk rating system as applied to the loan portfolio. The Company had no loans classified as “doubtful” or “loss” at either of the dates presented.

The Company evaluates the classification of one-to-four family residential, leases and consumer loans primarily on a pooled basis. If the Company becomes aware that adverse or distressed conditions exist that may affect a ~~particular single-family residential~~ loan, the loan is downgraded following the above definitions of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss.

The following tables represent loans in which a formal risk rating system is not utilized, but loans are segregated between performing and non-performing based primarily on delinquency status. Non-performing loans that would be included in the table are those loans greater than 90 days past due as to principal and/or interest that do not have a designated risk rating.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. The Company maintains the allowance at a level believed to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. Management reviews the allowance for loan losses no less than quarterly in order to identify these inherent losses and to assess the overall collection probability for the loan portfolio in view of these inherent losses. For each primary type of loan, a loss factor is established reflecting an estimate of the known and inherent losses in such loan type contained in the portfolio using both a quantitative analysis as well as consideration of qualitative factors. The evaluation process includes, among other things, an analysis of delinquency trends, non-performing loan trends, the level of charge-offs and recoveries, prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the volume of loan originations, the type, size and geographic concentration of the Company’s loans, the value of collateral securing the loans, the borrowers’ ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans requiring heightened management oversight, local economic conditions and industry experience.

Commercial real estate loans entail significant additional credit risks compared to owner-occupied one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, as they generally involve large loan balances concentrated with a single ~~borrowers~~borrower or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the related real estate project and/or business operation of the borrower who is, in some cases, also the primary occupant, and thus may be subject to a greater extent to the effects of adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the economy in general. Commercial business loans typically involve a higher risk of default than residential loans of like duration since their repayment is generally dependent on the successful operation of the borrower’s business and the sufficiency of collateral, if any. Land acquisition, development and construction lending exposes the Company to greater credit risk than permanent mortgage financing. The repayment of land acquisition, development and construction loans depends upon the sale of the property to third parties or the availability of permanent financing upon completion of all improvements. These events may adversely affect the sale of the properties, potentially reducing both the borrowers’ ability to make required payments as well as reducing the value of the collateral property. Such lending is additionally subject to the risk that if the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, the Company potentially will be compelled to advance additional funds to allow completion of the project. In addition, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the Company may be confronted with a project, when completed, having less value than the loan amount. If the Company is forced to foreclose on a construction project prior to completion, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to recover the entire unpaid portion of the loan.

The following tables summarize the primary segments of the allowance for loan losses. Activity in the allowance is presented for the both three and nine month periods ended ~~December 31, 2017~~June 30, 2019 and ~~2016:~~2018:

The Company establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when management believes that the use of the deferred tax assets is not likely to be fully realized through future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, and/or to a lesser extent, future taxable income. The tax deduction generated by the redemption of the shares of a mutual fund held by the Bank and the subsequent impairment charge on the assets acquired through the redemption in kind are considered capital losses and can only be utilized to the extent of capital gains recognized over a five year period, resulting in the establishment of a valuation allowance for the carryforward period. The valuation allowance totaled ~~$239,000 and $378,000~~$356,000 at ~~December 31, 2017,~~both June 30, 2019, and September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively.

There is currently no liability for uncertain tax positions and no known unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes, when applicable, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of income tax expense. During fiscal 2017, the Internal Revenue Service conducted an audit of the Company’s tax return for the year ended September 30, 2014, and no adverse findings were reported. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns for taxable years through September 30, ~~2014~~2015 have been closed for purposes of examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.

The Company made sufficient contributions to the 2008 RRP ~~Trust~~ to fund ~~the RRP Trust’s~~these purchases. Shares subject to awards under the 2008 RRP generally vest at the rate of 20% per year over five years. During February 2015, shareholders approved the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 SIP”).

Those assets as of September 30, 2018 which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Certain assets 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). The Company measures impaired loans and real estate owned at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

The Company considers loans to be impaired when it becomes more likely than not that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principle and interest) in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreements. Collateral dependent impaired loans are based on the fair value of the collateral which is based on appraisals and would be categorized as Level 2 measurement. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values for various factors including the age of the appraisal, age of the ~~comparable~~comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. These adjustments are based upon unobservable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 3 measurement. These loans are reviewed for impairment and written down to their net realizable value by charges against the allowance for loan losses. The collateral underlying these loans had a fair value ~~in excess~~ of ~~$23.9~~approximately $15.4 million as of ~~December 31, 2017.~~June 30, 2019.

Once an asset is determined to be uncollectible, the underlying collateral is generally repossessed and reclassified to foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets. These repossessed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value of the collateral, based on independent appraisals, less cost to sell and would be categorized as Level 2 measurement. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values for various factors including age of the appraisal, age of the comparable included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. As a result, the evaluations are based upon unobservable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 3 measurement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—For cash and cash equivalents, ~~the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.~~

~~Certificates of deposit~~~~—For certificates of deposit,~~ the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investments and Mortgage-Backed Securities—The fair value of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities is based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes, and prices obtained from independent pricing services.

Loans Receivable—~~The fair value of loans is estimated based on present value using~~On a prospective basis, the current market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The carrying value that fair value is compared to is net of the allowance for loan losses and other associated premiums and discounts. DueCompany implemented changes to the ~~significant judgment involved in evaluating credit quality, loans are classified within Level 3~~measurement of the fair value ~~hierarchy.~~of financial instruments using an exit price notion for disclosure purposes in the financial statements. The September 30, 2018, fair value of each class of financial instruments disclosure did not utilize the exit price notion when measuring fair value and, therefore, would not be comparable to the June 30, 2019 disclosure. The Company estimated the fair value based on guidance from ASC 820-10,Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There is no active observable market for sale information on community bank loans and, thus, Level 3 fair value procedures were utilized, primarily in the use of present value techniques incorporating assumptions that market participants would use in estimating fair values.

Accrued Interest Receivable – For accrued interest receivable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

~~Federal Home Loan~~Restricted Bank ~~(FHLB)~~(FHLB & ACBB) Stock—Although FHLB and ACBB (Atlantic Community Bankers Bank) stock is an equity interest in ~~an FHLB,~~the respective banks, it is carried at cost because it does not have a readily determinable fair value as its ownership is restricted and it lacks a market. The ~~estimated~~carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair ~~value approximates the carrying amount.~~value.

Bank Owned Life Insurance—The fair value of bank owned life insurance is based on the cash surrender value obtained from an independent advisor that is derivable from observable market inputs.

Checking Accounts, Money Market Deposit Accounts, Passbook Accounts, Club Accounts, Statement Savings Accounts, and Certificates of Deposit—The fair value of passbook accounts, club accounts, statement savings accounts, checking accounts, and money market deposit accounts is the amount reported in the financial statements. The fair value of certificates of deposit is ~~based on~~estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market rates currently offered for deposits ~~with~~of similar remaining ~~maturities.~~maturity.

Short-term ~~Advances~~advances from Federal Home Loan Bank—The fair value of ~~short-term~~ advances from FHLB is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.

Long-term ~~Advances~~advances from Federal Home Loan Bank —The fair value of ~~long-term~~ advances from FHLB is estimated based on market rates currently offered for advances with similar remaining maturities.

Accrued Interest Payable – For accrued interest payable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Interest ~~rate swaps~~Rate Swaps – The fair values of the interest rate swap contracts are based upon the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay, as applicable, to terminate the contracts.

Advances from ~~borrowers~~Borrowers for ~~taxes~~Taxes and ~~insurance~~Insurance – For advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Letters of Credit—The majority of the ~~Bank’s~~Company’s commitments to extend credit and letters of credit carry current market interest rates if converted to loans. Because commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are generally unassignable by either the ~~Bank~~Company or the borrower, they only have value to the ~~Bank~~Company and the borrower. The estimated fair value approximates the recorded deferred fee amounts, which are not significant.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 (the “Form 10-K”).

Overview. Prudential Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed by Prudential Bancorp, Inc. of Pennsylvania to become the successor holding company for Prudential Bank (the “Bank”)~~(formerly~~ (formerly known as Prudential Savings Bank) as a result of the second-step conversion of Prudential Mutual Holding Company completed in October 2013. The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependent on the results of the Bank, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company’s results of operations depend to a large extent on net interest income, which primarily is the difference between the income earned on its loan and securities portfolios and the cost of funds, which is the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by our provisions for loan losses, non-interest income (which includes impairment charges) and non-interest expense. Non-interest expense principally consists of salaries and employee benefits, office occupancy expense, depreciation, data processing expense, payroll taxes and other ~~expense.~~expenses. Our results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable laws, regulations or government policies may materially impact our financial condition and results of operations. The Bank is subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (the “Department”). The Bank’s main office is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with ~~ten~~nine additional full-service banking offices located in Philadelphia, Delaware and ~~Delaware~~Montgomery Counties in Pennsylvania. The Bank’s primary business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds together with borrowings to originate loans and to invest primarily in U.S. Government and agency securities and mortgage-backed securities. In ~~November~~ 2005, the Bank formed PSB Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as a subsidiary of the Bank. In ~~March~~ 2006, all mortgage-backed securities then owned by the Company’s predecessor were transferred to PSB Delaware, Inc. PSB Delaware, Inc.’s activities are included as part of the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies. In reviewing and understanding financial information for the Company, you are encouraged to read and understand the significant accounting policies used in preparing our financial statements. These policies are described in Note 1 of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 hereof as well as in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K. The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the financial statements require certain estimates, judgments and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. The following accounting policies comprise those that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These policies require numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial condition for the period or in future periods.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Losses are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability in full of the principal of a loan is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management considers adequate to provide for estimated losses and impairments based upon an evaluation of known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate. Loan impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of collateral or estimated net realizable value. It is the policy of management to provide for losses on unidentified loans in its portfolio in addition to criticized and classified loans.

Management monitors its allowance for loan losses at least quarterly and makes adjustments to the allowance through the provision for loan losses as economic conditions and other pertinent factors indicate. The quarterly review and adjustment of the qualitative factors employed in the allowance methodology and the updating of historic loss experience allow for timely reaction to emerging conditions and trends. In this context, a series of qualitative factors are used in a methodology as a measurement of how current circumstances are affecting the loan portfolio. Included in these qualitative factors are:

In determining the allowance for loan losses, management has established a general pooled allowance. Values assigned to the qualitative factors and those developed from historic loss experience provide a dynamic basis for the calculation of reserve factors for both pass-rated loans (the general pooled allowance) and those for criticized and classified loans. The amount of the specific allowance is determined through a loan-by-loan analysis of certain large dollar commercial real estate loans, construction and land development loans and multi-family loans. Loans not individually reviewed are evaluated as a group using reserve factor percentages based on historical loss experience and the qualitative factors described above. In determining the appropriate level of the general pooled allowance, management makes estimates based on internal risk ratings, which take into account such factors as debt service coverage, loan-to-value ratios and external factors. Estimates are periodically measured against actual loss experience.

This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including, among others, exposure at default, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, value of collateral, estimated losses on our commercial, construction and residential loan portfolios and historical loss experience. All of these estimates may be susceptible to significant change.

While management uses the best information available to make loan loss allowance evaluations, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions or changes in accounting guidance. In addition, the Department and the FDIC, as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. The Department and the FDIC may require the recognition of adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. To the extent that actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses may be required that would adversely affect earnings in future periods.

Investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. There were no securities with a Level 3 classification as of ~~December 31, 2017~~June 30, 2019 or September 30, ~~2017.~~ 2018.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The Company determines whether the unrealized losses are temporary or are considered other than temporary. The evaluation is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors, the underlying collateral, if applicable, and the continuing performance of the securities. In addition, the Company also considers the likelihood that the security will be required to be sold because of regulatory concerns, our internal intent not to dispose of the security prior to maturity and whether the entire cost basis of the security is expected to be recovered. In determining whether the cost basis will be recovered, management evaluates other facts and circumstances that may be indicative of an “other-than-temporary” impairment condition. This includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of the type of security, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and near-term prospects of the issuer.

In addition, certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring 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). The Company measures impaired loans and other real estate owned at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Valuation techniques and models utilized for measuring financial assets and liabilities are reviewed and validated by the Company at least quarterly.

Derivatives. The Company uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the payment of either fixed or variable-rate amounts in exchange for the receipt of variable or fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty, respectively. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate payments from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company records deferred income taxes that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Management exercises significant judgment in the evaluation of the amount and timing of the recognition of the resulting tax assets and liabilities. The judgments and estimates required for the evaluation are updated based upon changes in business factors and ~~the~~applicable tax laws. If actual results differ from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating the amount and timing of tax recognized, there can be no assurance that additional expenses will not be required in future periods.

In evaluating our ability to recover deferred tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including our past operating results and our forecast of future taxable income. In determining future taxable income, we make assumptions for the amount of taxable income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require us to make judgments about our future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we use to manage our business. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record an additional valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings.

U.S. GAAP prescribes a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The Company recognizes, when applicable, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated income statement. Assessment of uncertain tax positions requires careful consideration of the technical merits of a position based on management's analysis of tax regulations and interpretations. Significant judgment may be involved in the assessment of the tax position.

Forward-looking Statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance, conditions relating to the ~~Company and “Polonia Bancorp Inc.” or other effects of the merger of the Company and Polonia Bancorp.~~Company. These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the Company’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions, that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange commission (“SEC”) and those identified elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward looking statements or historical performance: ~~difficulties and delays in integrating the Polonia business or fully realizing anticipated cost savings and other benefits of the merger; business disruptions following the merger;~~ the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts its operations; general economic conditions; legislative and regulatory changes; monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government; changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax ~~authorities;~~authorities, including the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform Act”); changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services, competition, changes in the quality or composition of the Company's loan, investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios; geographic concentration of the Company’s business; fluctuations in real estate values; the adequacy of loan loss reserves; the risk that goodwill and intangibles recorded in the Company’s financial statements will become impaired; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, markets, products, services and fees; and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Form 10-Q.

For a complete discussion of the assumptions, risks and uncertainties related to our business, readers are encouraged to review the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, as supplemented by its quarterly or other reports subsequently filed with the SEC.

Market Overview.The economy ~~has~~ continued to improve during ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016.~~2018.

The Company continues to focus on the credit quality of its customers, closely monitoring the financial status of borrowers throughout the Company’s markets, gathering information, working on early detection of potential problems, taking pre-emptive steps where necessary and performing the analysis required to maintain adequate reserves for loan losses.

Net loans receivable ~~increased $8.7~~decreased slightly by $16.4 million to ~~$580.0~~$586.5 million at ~~December 31, 2017~~June 30, 2019 from ~~$571.3~~$602.9 million at September 30, ~~2017. These increases were partially offset by an $11.2 million decrease in cash~~2018.

Total liabilities increased by ~~$37.0~~$103.8 million to ~~$800.3 million~~$1.1 billion at ~~December 31, 2017~~June 30, 2019 from ~~$763.4~~$952.8 million at September 30, ~~2017.

At ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, the Company had FHLB advances outstanding of ~~$136.9~~$301.3 million as compared to ~~$114.3~~$154.7 million at September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The increase in the level of borrowings was primarily due to the match funding of purchases of investment securities in order to lock in the yield with minimal interest rate risk as part of the Company’s asset/liability management. All of the borrowings had maturities of less than six years. Total deposits decreased $54.7 million, as the Company sought to decrease its holdings in higher costing wholesale certificates of deposit in favor of lower costing, longer-term FHLB advances.

Total stockholders’ equity ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$2.8~~$6.3 million to ~~$133.4~~$134.7 million at ~~December 31, 2017~~June 30, 2019 from ~~$136.2~~$128.4 million at September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The ~~decrease~~increase was primarily due to net income of $6.9 million combined with a ~~dividend payment of $1.8~~$6.9 million ~~consisting of both an increased regular quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share as well as a special dividend of $0.15 per share. Also contributing to~~increase in the ~~decrease was a reduction~~appreciation in the fair market value of available for sale securities due to ~~rising~~decreased market rates of ~~interest as well as~~interest. These increases were partially offset by dividend payments of $5.3 million, including $4.0 million related to the ~~cost of purchases of~~special $0.45 per share dividend, and net treasury stock ~~in conjunction with employee~~repurchases, net of equity benefit ~~plans.~~plan activity, of $2.0 million.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED ~~DECEMBER 31, 2017~~JUNE 30, 2019 AND ~~2016~~2018

Net income.The Company ~~recognized~~reported net income of ~~$34,000,~~$2.6 million, or ~~$0.004~~$0.30 per basic share and $0.29 per diluted share, for the quarter ended ~~December 31, 2017~~June 30, 2019 as compared to ~~$731,000~~$2.4 million, or ~~$0.100~~$0.28 per basic and $0.26 per diluted share, for the ~~comparable period~~same quarter in ~~2016. The substantial decrease in~~fiscal 2018. For the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company reported net income ~~for the three month period ended December 31, 2017~~of $6.9 million, or $0.79 per basic share and $0.78 per diluted share as compared to $4.6 million, or $0.52 per basic and $0.50 per diluted share, for the same ~~quarter~~period in ~~the prior year was in large part due toa $1.8 million one-time charge related to a re-evaluation of the Company’s deferred tax assets as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.~~fiscal 2018.

Net interest income.For the three months ended ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, net interest income ~~increased to $6.1~~was stable at $6.2 million as compared to ~~$3.6 million for~~ the same period in ~~2016.~~fiscal 2018. The ~~increase~~income reflected a ~~$3.5~~$2.3 million, or 26.2%, increase in interest income, ~~which was partially~~effectively offset by an increase of ~~$1.0~~$2.3 million, or 86.8%, in interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The increase in ~~net~~ interest income inbetween the ~~2017 period~~periods was primarily due to the increase in the weighted average balance of earning assets ~~which~~combined with the effects of a rising rate environment. It also reflected in large part the addition of earning assets acquired as of January 1, 2017 upon completion of the acquisition of Polonia Bancorp. In addition, during calendar 2017, the average balance of loans, excluding loans obtained in the Polonia Bancorp acquisition, increased $68.8 million with such growth primarily funded through an increase in deposits, the use of Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh(“FHLB”) borrowings and the redeployment of excess liquidity. The yield on interest-earning assets increased to 3.66% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 from 3.33% for the same period in 2016 due primarily to the shift in the Bank’s lending emphasis to increasing its investment in commercial real estate and construction loans, which generally produce higher yields than those obtained on residential loans. The average balance of interest-earning assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 increased by $194.7 million, or 21.0%, to $1.1 billion from the comparable period in 2018. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by 17 basis points, to 4.04% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 from the comparable period in 2018. However, during the same period the weighted average cost of borrowings and deposits increased to ~~0.98%~~1.99% from 1.30% for the comparable period in 2018 due primarily to increases in market rates of interest. For the nine months ended June 30, 2019, net interest income remained stable at $18.6 million as compared to the same period in fiscal 2018. The increase in interest income of $7.1 million, or 28.0%, was offset by a $7.1 million, or 105.7%, increase in interest paid on deposits and borrowings. As with the third quarter, the increase in interest income was primarily due to the increase in the weighted average balance of earning assets, the shift in emphasis to increased investment in commercial real estate and construction loans and a rising interest rate environment. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased by $201.9 million, or 22.5%, from the comparable period in 2018. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by 17 basis points, to 3.94% for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 from the comparable period in 2018. The weighted average cost of borrowings and deposits increased to 1.88% during the ~~quarter~~nine months ended ~~December 31, 2017~~June 30, 2019 from ~~0.78%~~1.12% during the comparable period in ~~2016~~2018 primarily due to increases in market rates of ~~interest. The~~interest, reflecting in part the competitive market for deposits, particularly time deposits, in the areas in which the Company operates.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the net interest margin ~~increased~~was 2.22% and 2.26%, respectively, compared to ~~2.80% during~~2.70% and 2.77% for the ~~quarter ended December 31, 2017~~same periods in fiscal 2018, respectively. The margin compression experienced in the 2019 periods reflected in large part the higher funding costs resulting from ~~2.70% during~~ the ~~comparable period~~increases in ~~2016 due~~the federal funds rates combined with a competitive market for funding deposits, especially locally sourced retail deposits. Asset yields have not risen as quickly as liability costs in response to the ~~increase in~~rising interest rate environment exacerbated by the ~~average balance of interest-earning assets and the yield earned on those assets.~~competitive market for funding sources, especially locally sourced deposits.

Average balances, net interest income, and yields earned and rates paid. The following table shows for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest earned from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities and the resulting costs, expressed both in dollars and rates, the interest rate spread and the net interest margin. Average yields and rates have been annualized. Tax-exempt income and yields have not been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis. All average balances are based on monthly balances. Management does not believe that the monthly averages differ significantly from what the daily averages would be.

Provision for loan losses. The Company recorded ano provision for loan losses ~~in the amount of $210,000~~ for the three and nine months ended ~~December 31, 2017, primarily due to the growth in the loan portfolio as well as the continued shift in its composition,~~June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to ~~a provision~~provisions for loan losses of ~~$185,000~~$325,000 and $685,000, respectively, for the same ~~period~~periods in ~~2016. During the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not record any recoveries or charge offs.~~fiscal 2018

The allowance for loan losses totaled ~~$4.7~~$5.3 million, or ~~0.8%~~0.9% of total loans and ~~28.9%~~39.4% of total non-performing loans (which included loans acquired from Polonia Bancorp, Inc. as of January 1, 2017 at their ~~fair-value)~~fair value) at ~~December 31, 2017~~June 30, 2019 as compared to ~~$4.5~~$5.2 million, or ~~0.8%~~0.9% of total loans and ~~29.0%~~32.1% of total non-performing loans at September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The Company believes that the allowance for loan losses at ~~December 31, 2017~~June 30, 2019 was sufficient to cover all inherent and known losses associated with the loan portfolio at such date.

The Company’s methodology for assessing the adequacy of the allowance establishes both specific and general pooled allocations of the allowance. Loans are assigned ratings, either individually for larger credits or in homogeneous pools, based on an internally developed grading system. The resulting determinations are reviewed and approved by senior management.

At ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, the Company’s non-performing assets totaled ~~$16.6~~$13.7 million or ~~1.8%~~1.2% of total assets as compared to ~~$15.6~~$14.4 million or ~~1.7%~~1.3% of total assets at September 30, ~~2017.~~2018.

Non-performing assets at June 30, 2019 also included ~~at December 31, 2017 three~~other real estate owned consisting of one single-family residential ~~properties~~property with an aggregate carrying value of ~~$363,000.~~$423,000. At ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, the Company had 11nine loans aggregating ~~$7.5~~$6.0 million that were classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). ~~Seven~~Five of such loans aggregating ~~$1.2 million~~$633,000 were performing as of June 30, 2019 in accordance with ~~the~~their restructured terms ~~as of December 31, 2017~~ and were accruing interest. ~~Three~~One TDR is on non-accrual and consists of ~~the~~a $437,000 loan secured by a single-family property. The three remaining TDRs ~~which~~totaling $4.9 million are also classified as non-accrual ~~totaling $4.9 million~~and are a part of a ~~troubled~~ lending relationship totaling ~~$10.7~~$10.6 million (after taking into account the previously disclosed $1.9 million write-down recognized during the quarter ending ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2017 related to this borrowing relationship). ~~The remaining TDR is also on non-accrual and consists of a $1.5 million loan secured by various commercial and residential properties.~~ The primary project of the borrower (the development of a 169-unit townhouse project in Bristol Borough, Pennsylvania) is the subject of litigation between the Bank and the ~~borrower and as a result, the project currently is not proceeding.

The Bank has moved the underlying litigation noted above with the borrower and the Bank from state court to the federal bankruptcy court in which the bankruptcy proceeding is being heard. The state litigation is stayed pending the resolution of the bankruptcy proceedings. The Bank successfully moved to have portions of the bankruptcy proceedings converted to Chapter 7 (Liquidation). See Item 1 “Legal Proceedings” in Part II of this form 10Q. As of December 31, 2017,

At June 30, 2019, the Company had ~~reviewed $23.9 million of loans for possible impairment compared to $19.7 million reviewed for possible impairment as of September 30, 2017.~~

~~At December 31, 2017, the Company had $1.4~~$2.5 million of loans delinquent 30-89 days as to interest and/or principal.

Non-interest income. ~~With respect to the quarter ended December 31, 2017, non-interest~~Non-interest income amounted to ~~$415,000 as~~$1.2 million and $2.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to ~~$358,000~~$985,000 and $2.0 million, respectively, for the ~~same quarter~~comparable periods in fiscal ~~2017.~~2018. The ~~primary reason for~~increase experienced in both of the ~~higher level~~2019 periods was primarily attributable to the recognition of ~~non-interest income~~gain on sale of investments in the ~~first quarter~~2019 periods. The effect of ~~fiscal 2018~~this increase was ~~increased earnings~~partially offset by decreased income from ~~fees~~interest rate swaps during the three and ~~other service charges and transaction fees associated with the Polonia Bancorp acquisition which was completed during January 2017 and were not included in the operating results for the quarter~~nine months ended ~~December 31, 2016. The acquisition of Polonia resulted in the addition of five full-service financial centers along with the related customer deposit base.~~June 30, 2019.

Non-interest expense.For the three ~~months~~and nine month periods ended ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, non-interest expense increased ~~$1.3 million,~~$419,000 or 11.1% and $645,000 or 5.5%, respectively, compared to the same ~~period~~periods in fiscal 2018. Non-interest expense increased in the ~~prior year. The primary reason for~~fiscal 2019 periods due in part to the hiring of additional personnel in our lending operations, normal salary increases combined with increases in benefit plan expenses and an increase ~~was~~in FDIC deposit insurance expense. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in professional fees and occupancy expense as the ~~additional expense resulting from the Polonia Bancorp acquisition which added five full-service financial centers to our branch network as well as additional personnel.~~Company maintained its focus on continued implementation of operating efficiencies.

Income tax expense. For the ~~three-month~~three month period ended ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a tax expense of $582,000, compared to a tax expense of $676,000 for the same period in fiscal 2018. For the nine month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded an income tax expense of ~~$2.3~~$1.4 million ~~which~~as compared to a tax expense of $3.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2018. The reduction in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily reflected the benefit throughout fiscal 2019 associated with the fully implemented decrease in the federal statutory income tax rate, effective January 1, 2018. The $3.6 million tax expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 included a one-time charge of $1.8 million ~~one-time charge~~ related to ~~the~~a re-evaluation of the Company’s deferred tax assets ~~as a result of~~due to the ~~enactment of~~tax legislation enacted in December 2017 that reduced the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, compared to income tax expense of $370,000 and an effective tax rate of 33.6% for the same period in 2016. During fiscal 2018, commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company’s statutory federal income tax rate has been reduced to 24.25% as compared to companies which are calendar year tax reporting companies whose statutory rate will decrease to 21% starting January 1, 2018. Effective October 1, 2018, the Company’s statutory tax rate will be reducedfrom 35% to 21%.

The Company’s liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, scheduled principal and interest payments on loans, loan prepayments and the maturity of loans, mortgage-backed securities and other investments, and other funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan and securities prepayments can be greatly influenced by market rates of interest, economic conditions and competition. We also maintain excess funds in short-term, interest-earning assets that provide additional liquidity. At ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to ~~$16.7~~$38.1 million. In addition, our available-for-sale investment securities amounted to an aggregate of ~~$214.6~~$438.2 million at such date.

We use our liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, ~~to invest in other interest-earning assets,~~ and to meet operating expenses. At ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, the Company had ~~$45.9~~$50.8 million in outstanding commitments to originate ~~fixed~~ loans, not including loans in process. The Company also had undisbursed loans in process (related to its construction and land development loans) and commitments under unused lines of credit ~~of $6.8~~totaling $150.7 million and letters of credit outstanding of ~~$1.8~~$1.6 million at ~~December 31, 2017.~~June 30, 2019. Certificates of deposit as of ~~December 31, 2017~~June 30, 2019 that are maturing inwithin one year or less totaled ~~$254.8~~$379.7 million. ~~Based upon our historical experience, we anticipate that a significant portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be redeposited with us.~~

In addition to cash flows from loan and securities payments and prepayments as well as from sales of available for sale securities, we have significant borrowing capacity available to fund liquidity needs should the need arise. Our borrowings consist solely of advances from the ~~FHLB,~~Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”), of which we are a member. Under terms of the collateral agreement with the FHLB, we pledge residential mortgage loans as well as our stock in the FHLB as collateral for such advances. At ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, we had ~~$136.9~~$301.3 million in outstanding FHLB advances and had the ability to obtain an additional ~~$262.5~~$207.8 million in FHLB advances. Additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB could be obtained with the pledging of certain investment securities. The Bank has also obtained approval to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window.

We anticipate that we will continue to have sufficient funds and alternative funding sources to meet our current commitments.

The financial statements, accompanying notes, and related financial data of the Company presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates. In the current interest rate environment, liquidity and the maturity structure of the Company's assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

How We Manage Market Risk. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk which is inherent in our lending, investment and deposit gathering activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages interest rate risk exposure. In addition to market risk, our primary risk is credit risk on our loan portfolio. We attempt to manage credit risk through our loan underwriting and oversight policies.

The principal objective of our interest rate risk management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk embedded in certain balance sheet accounts, determine the level of risk appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, and manage the risk consistent with approved guidelines. We seek to manage our exposure to risks from changes in interest rates while at the same time trying to improve our net interest spread. We monitor interest rate risk as such risk relates to our operating strategies. We have established an Asset/Liability Committee which is comprised of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Lending Officer, Treasurer and Controller. The Asset/Liability Committee meets on a regular basis and is responsible for reviewing our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position. Both the extent and direction of shifts in interest rates are uncertainties that could have a negative impact on future earnings.

In recent years, as a part of our asset/liability management strategy we primarily have reduced our investment in longer term fixed-rate callable agency bonds, increased our origination or purchase of hybrid adjustable-rate single-family residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate and construction loans and increased our portfolio of step-up callable agency bonds and agency issued ~~collaterized~~collateralized mortgage-backed securities (“CMOs”) with short effective lives. In addition, we recently implemented ~~two~~ interest rate swaps to reduce funding cost for a five year period. However, notwithstanding the foregoing steps, we remain subject to a significant level of interest rate risk in a low interest rate environment due to the high proportion of our loan portfolio that consists of fixed-rate loans as well as our decision in prior periods to invest a significant amount of our assets in long-term, fixed-rate investment and mortgage-backed securities.

Gap Analysis. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive” and by monitoring athe Company’s interest rate sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to affect adversely net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to adversely affect ~~adversely~~ net interest income.

The following table sets forth the amounts of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, which we expect, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown (the “GAP Table”). Except as stated below, the amounts of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the earlier of term to repricing or the contractual maturity of the asset or liability. The table sets forth an approximation of the projected repricing of assets and liabilities at ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated prepayments, and scheduled rate adjustments within a three-month period and subsequent selected time intervals. The loan amounts in the table reflect principal balances expected to be redeployed and/or repriced as a result of contractual amortization and anticipated prepayments of adjustable-rate loans and fixed-rate loans, and as a result of contractual rate adjustments on adjustable-rate loans. Annual prepayment rates for variable-rate and fixed-rate single-family, ~~and~~ multi-family residential and commercial mortgage loans are assumed to range from ~~5.3%~~7.1% to ~~31.6%~~33.6%. The annual prepayment rate for mortgage-backed securities is assumed to range from ~~0.5%~~0.9% to ~~19.5%~~18.0%. For savings accounts, checking accounts and money markets, the decay rates vary on an annual basis over a ten year period.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as variable-rate loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates ~~applicable to the assets~~ both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their variable-rate loans may be adversely affected in the event of an interest rate increase.

Net Portfolio Value Analysis. Our interest rate sensitivity also is monitored by management through the use of a model which generates estimates of the changes in our net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio, under any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. The “Sensitivity Measure” is the decline in the NPV ratio, in basis points, caused by a 2% increase or decrease in rates, whichever produces a larger decline. The following table sets forth our NPV as of ~~December 31, 2017~~June 30, 2019 and reflects the changes to NPV as a result of immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as indicated.

At September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company’s NPV was ~~$167.7~~$163.6 million or ~~18.6%~~15.18% of the market value of assets. Following a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Company’s “post shock” NPV would be ~~$133.6~~$123.0 million or ~~16.0%~~12.3% of the market value of assets.

As is the case with the GAP ~~Table,~~table, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV requires the making of certain assumptions which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the models presented assume 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 also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV model provides an indication of interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such model is not intended to and does not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and will differ from actual results.

~~As of December 31, 2017,~~At June 30, 2019, there had not been any material change to the market risk disclosure contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2018 (“2018 Annual Report”), set forth in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation –Exposure to Changes in Interest Rates.”

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations and are operating in an effective manner.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, on ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2016, Island View Properties, Inc., trading as Island View Crossing II, LP (“Island View Crossing”), and Renato J. Gualtieri (collectively, the “Gualtieri Parties”) filed suit (the “Philadelphia Litigation”) in the Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (the “Court”), against the Bank seeking damages in an amount in excess of $27.0 million. The lawsuit asserts allegations related to a loan granted by the Bank to the Gualtieri Parties to develop a 169-unit townhouse and condominium project located in Bristol Borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania (the “Project”).

In May 2016, the Bank filed a motion with the court seeking to dismiss the majority of claims asserted in the Philadelphia Litigation. In August 2016, the Court dismissed a majority of the Gualtieri Parties’ claims. The Bank has also counterclaimed against the Gualtieri Parties for failure to satisfy the nine loans extended thereto and for failure to complete the Project. ~~In February 2017, the Court stayed the Philadelphia Litigation pending possible resolution of the Litigation. No resolution was obtained and the stay has expired.~~

~~Since~~After commencement of the Philadelphia Litigation, the Bank ~~has~~ filed Complaints for Confession against the Gualtieri Parties and certain other entities affiliated with Renato J. Gualtieri (“Gualtieri Parties and Affiliated Entities”) based on the claimed defaults under the nine loans issued by the Bank. ~~These actions have been stayed pending the resolution of the Philadelphia Litigation.~~ The Bank has also filed foreclosure actions with regard to the commercial properties collateralizing the loans issued to the Gualtieri Parties and Affiliated Entities. These actions are currently stayed pending the resolution of the litigation pending in the bankruptcy court as described below.

Shortly after the Court lifted the stay in the Philadelphia Litigation, ~~four of~~ the Gualtieri Parties and Affiliated Entities (One State Street Associates, LP (“State Street”), Island View Crossing II, L.P. (“Island View”), Calnshire Estates, LLC (“Calnshire”) and Steeple Run, L.P. (“Steeple Run” or collectively with State Street, Island View and Calnshire, the “Debtors”) filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11. The Bank has removed the underlying Philadelphia Litigation from state court to the federal bankruptcy court. As

Within the ~~Philadelphia Litigation is in its~~bankruptcy, Island View Crossing, as the debtor and the Chapter 11 Trustee, filed a separate adversary proceeding against the Bank seeking to avoid certain collateral mortgages made by Island View Crossing as well as seeking to avoid certain loans made to Island View Crossing including, but not limited to, a $1.4 million loan and a $5.5 million loan. The complaint was filed on or about December 3, 2018. Given the relatively early stages ~~no prediction can be made as~~of the case and the complaint just being filed, we are unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome ~~thereof. However, the~~at this time. The Bank, however, believes ~~that~~ it ~~has~~ meritorious defenses to the ~~remaining~~ claims ~~under the Philadelphia Litigation~~ and it intends to vigorously defend against the ~~case.~~claims.

From the outset, the Bank believed that it had meritorious challenges to the Chapter 11 bankruptcies filed by the Debtors and early in the case, the Bank filed a motion to convert the bankruptcy cases to Chapter 7 or to appoint a Chapter 11 Trustee to preserve the assets securing the Bank’s loans with the Gualtieri Parties and Affiliated Entities (the “Conversion Motion”). On December 18, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court Granted the Conversion Motion in part and converted the Chapter 11 cases of Calnshire and Steeple Run to Chapter 7 cases, appointed a Chapter 11 Trustee in the Island View case and left State Street in a Chapter 11.

~~In addition to the lawsuits noted above, the Company~~Prudential Bancorp is involved in various ~~other~~ legal ~~actions arising~~proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of ~~its~~ business. ~~All~~Management of the Company, based on discussions with litigation counsel, does not believe that such ~~actions in~~proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the ~~aggregate involve amounts~~financial condition or operations of Prudential Bancorp. There can be no assurance that ~~are believed by management~~any of the outstanding legal proceedings to which the Company is a party will not be ~~immaterial~~decided adversely to the Company's interests and have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and ~~results of~~ operations of the Company.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report, ~~on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017,~~ as such factors could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition, or future results of operations. As of ~~December 31, 2017,~~June 30, 2019, no material changes have occurred to the risk factors of the Company as reported in the ~~Company’s~~2018 Annual ~~Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.~~Report. The risks described in the ~~2017~~2018 Annual Report ~~on Form 10-K~~ are not the only risks that the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial, also may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial conditions, or results of operations.

(c) The Company maintains an active stock repurchase plan but did not have repurchases of equity shares through the plan during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The shares repurchased during the period primarily were shares repurchased in connection with employee benefit plans.

(1) On ~~July 15, 2015,~~November 19, 2018, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved a ~~second~~third stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up ~~850,000~~900,000 shares of common stock, approximately 10% of the Company's then outstanding shares.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
