MAGYAR BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiary, Magyar Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries Magyar Service Corporation, Hungaria Urban Renewal, LLC, and MagBank Investment Company. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The unaudited information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

Operating results for the three months ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The September 30, ~~2016~~2017 information has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of other real estate owned, and the assessment of realizability of deferred income tax assets.

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date of December 31, ~~2016~~2017 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

NOTE B- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606), which will supersede the current revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605,Revenue Recognition. The ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer 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. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The new guidance ~~will be~~is effective for public companies for periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU permits application of the new revenue recognition guidance to be applied using one of two retrospective application methods.

Based on our evaluation under the current guidance, we estimated that substantially all of our interest income and non-interest income will not be impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-09 because either the revenue from those contracts with customers is covered by other guidance in US GAAP or the revenue recognition outcomes anticipated with the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will likely be similar to our current revenue recognition practices. The Company ~~has not yet determined which application method it will use or~~evaluated certain noninterest revenue streams, including, deposit related fees, service and interchange fees, and merchant income to determine the potential ~~effects~~impact of the ~~new standard~~guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial ~~statements, if any.~~statements. The Company expects additional financial statement disclosures of non-interest income revenue streams with the adoption of this ASU. In addition, we are reviewing our business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosures under the new standard. The Company is ~~currently assessing~~expected to use the ~~impacts this new standard~~modified retrospective method for transition in which the cumulative effect will be recognized at the date of adoption with no restatement of comparative periods presented. The adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a material effect on ~~its~~the Company’s consolidated financial ~~statements.~~statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842), which will supersede the current lease requirements in Topic 840. The ASU requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and related lease liability for all

Table of Contents

leases, with a limited exception for short-term leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. Currently, leases are classified as either capital or operating, with only capital leases recognized on the balance sheet. The reporting of lease related expenses in the statements of operations and cash flows will be generally consistent with the current guidance. The new guidance will be effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018 for public companies. Once effective, the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective transition method to the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company is currently assessing the impacts this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

~~Table of Contents~~

In ~~March~~June 2016, the FASB issued ASU ~~No. 2016-09,~~~~Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)~~. This ASU was issued as part of FASB’s Simplification Initiative. The areas for simplification in this Update include income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows for share-based payment transactions. For public companies, this ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impacts this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

~~In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)~~ 2016-13,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to report “expected” credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit rather than the current “incurred loss” model. These expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date are to be based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU will also require enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filers, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued the ASU 2017-12,Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815):Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The purpose of this guidance is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with the company’s risk management activities by expanding strategies that qualify for hedge accounting, modifying the presentation of certain hedging relationships in the financial statements and ~~results~~simplifying the application of ~~operations.~~hedge accounting in certain situations. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted in any interim or annual period before the effective date. ASU 2017-12 will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment related to the elimination of the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to the balance of accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments in this update are adopted. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. Upon adoption, the ASU allows for the reclassification of debt securities eligible to be hedged under the ASU from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale.The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and reclassified ten mortgage-backed securities totaling $12.6 million from the held-to-maturity portfolio to the available-for-sale portfolio.

NOTE C - CONTINGENCIES

The Company, from time to time, is a party to routine litigation that arises in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of this litigation, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE D - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015~~2016 were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period considering the effect of ~~diluted~~dilutive equity options and stock awards for the diluted earnings per share calculations.

There were no outstanding options to purchase common stock at December 31, 2017.

Options to purchase 188,276 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $14.61 were outstanding and not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2016 ~~and 2015~~ because the grant (or option strike) price was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period and are thus anti-dilutive.

NOTE E – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. ASC 718 requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in consolidated financial statements. The cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

Stock options generally vest over a five-year service period and expire ten years from issuance. ~~Management recognizes compensation expense for all option grants over the awards’ respective vesting periods.~~ The fair values of all option grants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Since there was limited historical information on the volatility of the Company’s stock, management also considered the average volatilities of similar entities for an appropriate period in determining the assumed volatility rate used in the estimation of fair value. Management estimated the expected life of the options using the simplified method allowed under SAB No. 107. The ~~7-year Treasury yield in effect, at the time of the grant, provided the risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option. Management~~Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair values of these awards, which have graded vesting, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Once vested, these awards are irrevocable. ~~Shares will be obtained from either the open market or treasury stock upon share option exercise.~~

Restricted shares generally vest over a five-year service period on the anniversary of the grant date. Once vested, these awards are irrevocable. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determine the fair value of restricted shares under the Company’s restricted stock plans. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards.

~~Stock~~There were no stock option and stock award expenses included with compensation expense ~~were $0~~ for the three months ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

The Company announced in November 2007 its second stock repurchase program of up to 5% of its publicly-held outstanding shares of common stock, or 129,924 shares. Through December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, the Company had repurchased a total of 81,000 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $8.33 per share under this program. No shares were repurchased during the three months ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015,~~2016, respectively. Under the stock repurchase program, 48,924 shares of the 129,924 shares authorized remained available for repurchase as of December 31, ~~2016.~~2017. The Company’s intended use of the repurchased shares is for general corporate ~~purposes, including the funding~~purposes. The Company held 102,996 total treasury stock shares at December 31, 2017, of ~~awards granted~~which 81,000 were from repurchases under ~~the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.~~this program.

The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for the benefit of employees of the Company and the Bank who meet the eligibility requirements as defined in the plan. The ESOP trust purchased 217,863 shares of common stock in the open market using proceeds of a loan from the Company. The total cost of shares purchased by the ESOP trust was $2.3 million, reflecting an average cost per share of $10.58. The Bank will make cash contributions to the ESOP on an annual basis sufficient to enable the ESOP to make the required loan payments to the Company. The loan bears a variable interest rate that adjusts annually every January 1^st to the then published Prime Rate ~~(3.75%~~(4.50% at January 1, ~~2017)~~2018) with principal and interest payable annually in equal installments over thirty years. The loan is secured by shares of the Company’s stock.

As the debt is repaid, shares are released as collateral and allocated to qualified employees. Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the then current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations.

At December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, shares allocated to participants totaled ~~153,326.~~165,771. Unallocated ESOP shares held in suspense totaled ~~64,537~~52,092 at December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and had a fair market value of ~~$774,444.~~$666,778. The Company's contribution expense for the ESOP was ~~$35,000~~$39,000 and ~~$30,000~~$35,000 for the three months ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015,~~2016, respectively.

NOTE G – FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as held-to-maturity securities, mortgage servicing rights, loans receivable and other real estate owned, or OREO. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

	Level 1 -	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

	Level 2 -	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

	Level 3 -	Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

The Company based its fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Securities available-for-sale

The securities available-for-sale portfolio is carried at estimated fair value on a recurring basis, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in stockholders’ equity. The securities available-for-sale portfolio consists of U.S government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities and private label mortgage-backed securities. The fair values of these securities are obtained from an independent nationally recognized pricing service. An independent pricing service provides the Company with prices which are categorized as Level 2, as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the securities in the Company’s portfolio. Various modeling techniques are used to determine pricing for Company’s mortgage-backed securities, including option pricing and discounted cash flow models. The inputs to these models include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Mortgage Servicing Rights, net

Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs) are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of MSR is determined through a calculation of future cash flows, incorporating estimates of assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value including market discount rates, prepayment speeds, servicing income, servicing costs, default rates and other market driven data, including the market’s perception of future interest rate movements and, as such, are classified as Level 3. The Company had MSRs totaling ~~$91,000~~$61,000 and ~~$97,000~~$69,000 at December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, respectively.

Impaired Loans

Loans which meet certain criteria are evaluated individually for impairment. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All amounts due according to the contractual terms means that both the contractual interest and principal payments of a loan will be collected as scheduled in the loan agreement. Three impairment measurement methods are used, depending upon the collateral securing the asset: 1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate (the rate of return implicit in the loan); 2) the asset’s observable market price; or 3) the fair value of the collateral, less anticipated selling and disposition costs, if the asset is collateral dependent. The regulatory agencies require the last method for loans from which repayment is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. The Company’s impaired loans are generally collateral dependent and, as such, are carried at the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Fair value is estimated through current appraisals, and adjusted by management as necessary, ~~by management,~~ to reflect current market conditions and, as such, are generally classified as Level 3.

Table of Contents

Appraisals of collateral securing impaired loans are conducted by approved, qualified, and independent third-party appraisers. Such appraisals are ordered via the Company’s credit administration department, independent from the lender who originated the loan, once the loan is deemed impaired, as described in the previous paragraph. Impaired loans are generally re-evaluated with an updated appraisal within one year of the last appraisal. However, the Company also obtains updated appraisals on performing construction loans that are approaching their maturity date to determine whether or not the fair value of the collateral securing the loan remains sufficient to cover the loan amount prior to considering an extension. The Company discounts the appraised “as is” value of the collateral for estimated selling and disposition costs and compares the resulting fair value of collateral to the outstanding loan amount. If the outstanding loan amount is greater than the discounted fair value, the Company requires a reduction in the outstanding loan balance or additional collateral before considering an extension to the loan. If the borrower is unwilling or unable to reduce the loan balance or increase the collateral securing the loan, it is deemed impaired and the difference between the loan amount and the fair value of collateral, net of estimated selling and disposition costs, is charged off through a reduction of the allowance for loan loss.

~~Table of Contents~~

Other Real Estate Owned

The fair value of other real estate owned is determined through current appraisals, and adjusted as necessary, by management, to reflect current market conditions and anticipated selling and disposition costs. As such, other real estate owned is generally classified as Level 3.

The following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and September 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

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

~~Table of Contents~~

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments not already disclosed above for which it is practicable to estimate fair value:

Cash and interest earning deposits with banks: The carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Held to maturity securities: The fair values of held to maturity securities are obtained from an independent nationally recognized pricing service. An independent pricing service provides the Company with prices which are categorized as Level 2, as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the securities in Company’s portfolio.

Loans receivable: Fair value for the loan portfolio, excluding impaired loans with specific loss allowances, is estimated based on discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB”) stock: The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value and considers the limited marketability of the investment.

Bank-owned life insurance: The carrying amounts are based on the cash surrender values of the individual policies, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Deposits: The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as money market deposit accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts and savings accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to current market rates for deposits of similar size, type and maturity.

Accrued interest receivable and payable: For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

FHLB advances: The fair value of borrowings is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate currently offered by the FHLB for borrowings of similar maturity and terms.

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated based on the amount of unamortized deferred loan commitment fees. The fair value of letters of credit is based on the amount of unearned fees plus the estimated cost to terminate the letters of credit. Fair values of unrecognized financial instruments including commitments to extend credit and the fair value of letters of credit are considered immaterial.

The following presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments carried at cost or amortized cost as of December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates level 1 fair value. For short-term financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents and accrued interest receivable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization. For financial liabilities such as interest-bearing demand, NOW, and money market savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products being payable on demand and having no stated maturity.

NOTE I – IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Company recognizes credit-related other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities in earnings while noncredit-related other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities not expected to be sold are recognized in other comprehensive ~~income (“OCI”).~~income.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market. The Company evaluates its intent and ability to hold debt securities based upon its investment strategy for the particular type of security and its cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. In addition, the risk of future other-than-temporary impairment may be influenced by prolonged recession in the U.S. economy, changes in real estate values and interest deferrals.

The following tables present the gross unrealized losses and fair value at December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and September 30, ~~2016~~2017 for both available for sale and held to maturity securities by investment category and time frame for which the loss has been outstanding:

~~The investment securities listed above currently have fair values less than amortized cost and therefore contain unrealized losses.~~ The Company evaluated these securities and determined that the decline in value was primarily related to fluctuations in the interest rate environment and were not related to any company or industry specific event. At December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, there were ~~thirty four~~thirty-five and ~~nine,~~thirty-one, respectively, investment securities with unrealized losses.

The Company anticipates full recovery of amortized costs with respect to these securities. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and has determined that it is not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities prior to maturity or market price recovery. Management has considered factors regarding other than temporarily impaired securities and determined that there are no securities with impairment that is other than temporary as of December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and September 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

The segments of the Bank’s loan portfolio are disaggregated to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. The residential mortgage loan segment is further disaggregated into two classes: amortizing term loans, which are primarily first liens, and home equity lines of credit, which are generally second liens. The commercial real estate loan segment is further disaggregated into three classes: commercial real estate loans include loans secured by multifamily structures, owner-occupied commercial structures, and non-owner occupied nonresidential properties. The construction loan segment consists primarily of loans to developers or investors for the purpose of acquiring, developing and constructing residential or commercial structures and to a lesser extent one-to-four family residential construction loans made to individuals for the acquisition of and/or construction on a lot or lots on which a residential dwelling is to be built. Construction loans to developers and investors have a higher risk profile because the ultimate buyer, once development is completed, is generally not known at the time of the loan. The commercial business loan segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of commercial customers and consists primarily of revolving lines of credit. The ~~consumer~~other loan segment consists primarily of stock-secured installment consumer loans, but also includes unsecured personal loans and overdraft lines of credit connected with customer deposit accounts.

~~Table of Contents~~

Management evaluates individual loans in all segments for possible impairment if the loan either is in nonaccrual status, or is risk rated Substandard and is greater than 90 days past due. Loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in evaluating impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Once the determination has been made that a loan is impaired, the recorded investment in the loan is compared to the fair value of the loan using one of three methods: (a) the present value of 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 securing the loan, less anticipated selling and disposition costs. The method is selected on a loan by loan basis, with management primarily utilizing the fair value of collateral method. If there is a shortfall between the fair value of the loan and the recorded investment in the loan, the Company charges the difference to the allowance for loan loss as a charge-off and carries the impaired loan on its books at fair value. It is the Company’s policy to evaluate impaired loans on an annual basis to ensure the recorded investment in a loan does not exceed its fair value.

The following ~~table presents~~tables present impaired loans by class, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and charged-off and those for which a specific allowance was not necessary at the dates presented:

Management uses a ten point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified Substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable.All loans greater than three months past due are considered Substandard. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.

Table of Contents

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as severe delinquency, bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Bank’s Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis. The Asset Review Committee performs monthly reviews of all commercial relationships internally rated 6 (“Watch”) or worse. Confirmation of the appropriate risk grade is performed by an external ~~Loan Review Company~~loan review company that semi-annually reviews and assesses loans within the portfolio. Generally, the external consultant reviews commercial relationships greater than $500,000 and/or criticized relationships greater than $250,000. Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as Substandard on a monthly basis.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful within the Bank’s internal risk rating system at the dates presented:

An allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio. The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience, and the amount of ~~NPLs.~~non-performing loans (“NPLs”).

The Bank’s methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (discussed above) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance.

Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate. For general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio. These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualitative and economic factors.

The loans are segmented into classes based on their inherent varying degrees of risk, as described above. Management tracks the historical net charge-off activity by segment and utilizes this figure, as a percentage of the segment, as the general reserve percentage for pooled, homogenous loans that have not been deemed impaired. Typically, an average of losses incurred over a defined number of consecutive historical years is used.

Non-impaired credits are segregated for the application of qualitative factors. Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience. The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources include: national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; value of underlying collateral; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint.

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL. Since loans individually evaluated for impairment are promptly written down to their fair value, typically there is no portion of the ALL for loans individually evaluated for impairment.

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and actual losses will vary from current estimates. Management believes that the segmentation of the loan portfolio into homogeneous pools and the related historical loss ratios and other qualitative factors, as well as the consistency in the application of assumptions, result in an ALL that is representative of the risk found in the components of the portfolio at any given date.

The Bank has adopted FASB ASU No. 2011-02 on the determination of whether a loan restructuring is considered to be a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”). A TDR is a loanthat has been modified whereby the Bank has agreed to make certain concessions to a borrower to meet the needs of both the borrower and the Bank to maximize the ultimate recovery of a loan. TDR occurs when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties and the loan is modified using a modification that would otherwise not be granted to the borrower. The types of concessions granted generally include, but are not limited to, interest rate reductions, limitations on the accrued interest charged, term extensions, and deferment of principal.

A default on a troubled debt restructured loan for purposes of this disclosure occurs when a borrower is 90 days past due or a foreclosure or repossession of the applicable collateral has occurred.There ~~were~~was no TDRs for ~~the~~ three months endedDecember 31, ~~2016~~ 2017and ~~2015.~~2016.

There were no foreclosed residential real estate loans for the three months ended December 31, ~~2016, and $2.5 million~~2017. There were $703,000 of consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure at December 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

NOTE L – INCOME TAXES

In the first quarter, the Company revised its estimated annual effective rate to reflect a change in the United States federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%, resulting from legislation that was enacted on December 22, 2017. The rate change is administratively effective at the beginning of our fiscal year resulting in the use of a blended rate for the annual period. As a result, the blended statutory federal tax rate for the Company’s year ended September 30, 2018 is 24.0%.

In addition, we recognized a tax expense in our tax provision for the period ended December 31, 2017 related to the adjustment of our net deferred tax asset to reflect the new corporate tax rate. As a result, income tax expense reported for the first three months was adjusted to reflect the effects of the change in the tax law and resulted in an increase in income tax expense of $207,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. This amount comprises a reduction of $99,000 in income tax expense for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017 related to the lower federal income tax rate and $306,000 from the application of the newly enacted rates to existing deferred tax asset balances.

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities: (i) are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns; (ii) are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases; and (iii) are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Where applicable, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance for any portions determined not likely to be realized. The valuation allowance is assessed by management on a quarterly basis and adjusted, by a charge or credit to income tax expense, as changes in facts and circumstances warrant. In assessing whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, management considers projections of future taxable income, the projected periods in which current temporary differences will be deductible, the availability of carry forwards, feasible and permissible tax planning strategies and existing tax laws and regulations. ~~Due to the uncertainty of the Company's ability to realize the benefit of certain deferred tax assets within statutory time limits, the~~The Company did not have a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets ~~are partially offset by a valuation allowance~~ at December 31, ~~2016, the amount of which has not materially changed from that in place at~~2017 or September 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

A reconciliation of income tax between the amounts calculated based upon pre-tax income at the Company’s federal statutory rate and the amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of operations are as follows:

NOTE M - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate floors and collars, as part of its interest rate risk management. Interest rate caps and floors are agreements whereby one party agrees to pay or receive a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount for a predetermined period of time if certain market interest rate thresholds are met. The Company considers the credit risk inherent in these contracts to be negligible.

As of December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, the Company did not hold any interest rate floors or collars.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this filing and in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company’s press releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases, “anticipate,” “would be,” “will allow,” “intends to,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “projected,” “believes”, or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those risks previously disclosed by the Company in Item 1A of its Annual Report on Form 10-K as may be supplemented by Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, regulatory considerations, competition, technological developments, retention and recruitment of qualified personnel, and market acceptance of the Company’s pricing, products and services, and with respect to the loans extended by the Bank and real estate owned, the following: risks related to the economic environment in the market areas in which the Bank operates, particularly with respect to the real estate market in New Jersey; the risk that the value of the real estate securing these loans may decline in value; and the risk that significant expense may be incurred by the Company in connection with the resolution of these loans.

The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and advises readers that various factors, including regional and national economic conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and other risks of lending and investing activities, and competitive and regulatory factors, could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Critical accounting policies may involve complex subjective decisions or assessments. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies.

Allowance for Loan Losses.The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover credit losses in the loan portfolio both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of our most critical. Due to the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions utilized and the potential for changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for loan losses, the methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management.

As a substantial amount of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, appraisals of the underlying value of property securing loans and discounted cash flow valuations of properties are critical in determining the amount of the allowance required for specific loans. Assumptions for appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly affect the valuation of a property securing a loan and the related allowance determined. The assumptions supporting such appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are carefully reviewed by management to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans.

Table of Contents

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. We consider a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates by management that may be susceptible to significant change based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions.

~~Table of Contents~~

The evaluation has a specific and general component. The specific component relates to loans that are delinquent or otherwise identified as impaired through the application of our loan review process and our loan grading system. All such loans are evaluated individually, with principal consideration given to the value of the collateral securing the loan and discounted cash flows. Specific impairment allowances are established as required by this analysis. The general component is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general component of the allowance for loan losses.

Actual loan losses may be significantly greater than the allowances we have established, which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.

Other Real Estate Owned.Real estate acquired through foreclosure, or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, is recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of acquisition or transfer, and subsequently at the lower of its new cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. Adjustments to the carrying value at the date of acquisition or transfer are charged to the allowance for loan losses. The carrying value of the individual properties is subsequently adjusted to the extent it exceeds estimated fair value less estimated selling costs, at which time a provision for losses on such real estate is charged to operations.

Appraisals are critical in determining the fair value of the other real estate owned amount. Assumptions for appraisals are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly affect the valuation of a property. The assumptions supporting such appraisals are carefully reviewed by management to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable.

Investment Securities. If the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost, the security is deemed to be impaired. Management evaluates all securities with unrealized losses quarterly to determine if such impairments are “temporary” or “other-than-temporary” in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The Company accounts for temporary impairments based upon security classification as either available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, or trading. Temporary impairments on “available-for-sale” securities are recognized, on a tax-effected basis, through accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) with offsetting entries adjusting the carrying value of the security and the balance of deferred taxes. Conversely, the Company does not adjust the carrying value of “held-to-maturity” securities for temporary impairments, although information concerning the amount and duration of impairments on held to maturity securities is generally disclosed in periodic financial statements. The carrying value of securities held in a trading portfolio is adjusted to their fair value through earnings on a daily basis. However, the Company maintained no securities in trading portfolios at or during the periods presented in these financial statements.

The Company accounts for other-than-temporary impairments based upon several considerations. First, other-than-temporary impairments on securities that the Company has decided to sell as of the close of a fiscal period, or will, more likely than not, be required to sell prior to the full recovery of the their fair value to a level equal to or exceeding their amortized cost, are recognized in operations. If neither of these criteria apply, then the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into credit-related and noncredit-related components. The credit-related impairment generally represents the amount by which the present value of the cash flows that are expected to be collected on an other-than-temporarily impaired security fall below its amortized cost while the noncredit-related component represents the remaining portion of the impairment not otherwise designated as credit-related. The Company recognizes credit-related, other-than-temporary impairments in earnings, while noncredit-related, other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities are recognized, net of deferred taxes, in AOCI. Management did not account for any other-than-temporary impairments at or during the periods presented in these financial statements.

Fair Value. We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Our securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as held-to-maturity securities, mortgage servicing rights, loans receivable and other real estate owned. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, we group our assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. We base our fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

~~Table of Contents~~

Deferred Income Taxes.The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities: (i) are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns; (ii) are attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases; and (iii) are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Where applicable, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance for any portions determined not likely to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period of enactment. The valuation allowance is adjusted, by a charge or credit to income tax expense, as changes in facts and circumstances warrant.

Year-to-date, there were no charge off or recoveries in non-performing commercial real estate loans.

Table of Contents

Non-performing commercial real estate loans decreased $391,000 to $91,000 at December 31, 2017 from $482,000 at September 30, 2017. This non-accrual loan was in foreclosure at December 31, 2017. Year-to-date, there were no charge offs and $23,000 in recoveries of previously charged-off non-performing commercial real estate loans.

Non-performing commercial business loans decreased ~~$237,000~~$90,000 to ~~$760,000~~$123,000 during the three months period ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2017. Year-to-date, Magyar Bank charged off ~~$237,000~~$170,000 in non-performing commercial business loans through a reduction in its allowance for loan loss and received ~~one recovery~~recoveries totaling ~~$750~~$1,000 from a previously charged-off non-performing commercial business loan.

All construction loans were performing at December 31, 2017. Year-to-date, Magyar Bank received recoveries totaling $3,000 from a previously charged-off non-performing construction loan.

During the three months ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, the allowance for loan losses increased ~~$114,000~~$62,000 to ~~$3.2 million~~$3,537,000 compared with ~~$3.1 million~~$3,475,000 at September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. The increase ~~during the quarter~~ was attributable to growth in total loans receivable during the quarter. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans increased to ~~76.4%~~268.8% at December 31, ~~2016~~2017 from ~~72.6%~~147.4% at September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans ~~increased to 0.68%~~was 0.73% at December 31, ~~2016 from 0.67% at~~2017 and September 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

Future increases in the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on the growth of the loan portfolio, the change in composition of the loan portfolio, possible future increases in non-performing loans and charge-offs, possible additional deterioration of collateral values, and the possible deterioration of the ~~current~~ economic environment. The Company determines the carrying value of loans secured by real estate by obtaining an updated third-party appraisal of the real estate collateral.

To the extent that an updated valuation of the collateral is insufficient to cover a collateral-dependent loan, the Company reduces the balance of the loan via a charge to the allowance for loan loss. Specific reserves for loan loss may be established for estimated selling and disposition costs as well as portions of the loan expected to be recovered within a reasonable time period. At December 31, 2016, the Bank held specific reserves totaling $19,000.

Other real estate owned decreased ~~$120,000,~~$312,000, or ~~1.0%~~2.8%, to ~~$12.0~~$10.7 million ~~during the period ended~~at December 31, ~~2016.~~2017 from $11.1 million at September 30, 2017. The decrease was due to two sales totaling $309,000 and valuation allowances totaling $157,000 recorded for properties under contract of ~~sale expected to close next quarter.~~sale. Partially offsetting the decline were investment and acquisitions costs totaling $167,000. The Company is determining the proper course of action for its other real estate owned, which may include holding the properties until the real estate market further improves, ~~selling the properties and~~ leasing properties to offset maintenance ~~costs.~~costs and selling the properties.

Total deposits ~~increased $7.2~~decreased $7.7 million, or 1.5%, to ~~$499.8~~$507.5 million during the three months ended December 31, ~~2016 compared with $492.7 million at September 30, 2016.~~2017. The ~~inflow~~decrease in deposits occurred in savings accounts which increased $7.2 million, or 7.1%, to $107.9 million, money market accounts, which increased $3.8 million, or 3.3%, to $118.3 million, and non-interest checking accounts which increased $1.2 million, or 1.2%, to $95.6 million. Partially offsetting these increases were decreased in certificates of deposit (including individual retirement accounts), which decreased ~~$3.4~~$4.7 million, or ~~2.5%~~3.7%, to ~~$130.6~~$123.4 million and ~~interest-bearing checking (NOW)~~savings accounts, which decreased ~~$1.6~~$4.6 million, or ~~3.2%~~4.3%, to ~~$47.5~~$102.7 million. Partially offsetting these decreases were non-interest checking accounts, which increased $779,000, or 0.8%, to $99.5 million, interest-bearing checking accounts, which increased $510,000, or 1.2%, to $44.1 million, and money market accounts, which increased $264,000, or 0.2%, to $137.8 million.

Included with the total deposits at December 31, ~~2016~~2017 and September 30, ~~2016~~2017 were ~~$13.9~~$10.3 million in brokered certificates of deposit.

Stockholders’ equity increased ~~$184,000,~~$387,000, or ~~0.4%~~0.8%, to ~~$47.9~~$49.8 million at December 31, ~~2016~~2017 from ~~$47.7~~$49.5 million at September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. The Company’s book value per share increased to $8.56 at December 31, 2017 from $8.50 at September 30, 2017. The increase in stockholders’ equity was attributable to the Company’s results from operations.

The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the three months ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

Net income ~~increased $38,000,~~decreased $18,000, or ~~12.3%~~5.2%, to $329,000 during the three-month period ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 compared with $347,000 the three-month period ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016 due to higher income tax expense resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Act lowered the Company’s Federal tax rate from 34% to 21%. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company revalued its net deferred tax assets using the lower income tax rate, resulting in a write-down of approximately $306,000. The write-down offset a 52%, or $306,000, increase in the Company’s pre-tax earnings, which resulted from higher net interest and dividend ~~income. Partially offsetting the increase in net interest and dividend income were higher provisions for loan loss and lower non-interest~~ income.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. ~~The net~~Net interest and dividend income increased ~~$376,000,~~$346,000, or ~~9.1%~~7.7%, to $4.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 from $4.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, ~~2016 from $4.1 million~~2016. The Company’s net interest margin increased 14 basis points to 3.44% for the quarter ended December 31, ~~2015. The Company’s net interest margin increased 11 basis points~~2017 compared to 3.30% for the quarter ended December 31, ~~2016 compared to 3.19% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.~~2016.

The yield on the Company’s interest-earning assets increased 1021 basis points to 4.19% for the three months ended December 31, 2017 from 3.98% for the three months ended December 31, 2016 ~~from 3.88% for the three months ended December 31, 2015 primarily~~ due to higher average balances of loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses, which increased ~~$41.9~~$13.3 million between ~~periods. The growth in balances more than offset a 4 basis point decrease in the yield~~periods and higher yields on loans receivable, ~~net of allowance~~which increased 25 basis points to 4.57% for ~~loan losses, to~~the three months ended December 31, 2017 from 4.32% for the three months ended December 31, ~~2016 from 4.36%~~2016. Contributing to the higher yield on loans were three non-performing loans that paid-off during the quarter, which included the receipt of $81,000 in non-accrued interest. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 10 basis of point to 0.94% for the three months ended December 31, ~~2015. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 1 basis point to~~2017 from 0.84% for the three months ended December 31, 2016 ~~from 0.85% for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was attributable~~due to ~~lower borrowing costs between periods.~~higher market interest rates.

Interest and Dividend Income.Interest and dividend income increased ~~$405,000,~~$481,000, or ~~8.1%~~8.9%, to $5.9 million for the three months ended December 30, 2017 from $5.4 million for the three months ended December 31, ~~2016 from $5.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015.~~2016.

Interest earned on loans increased ~~$412,000,~~$437,000, or ~~9.0%~~8.7%, to ~~$5.0~~$5.4 million for the three months ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 compared with ~~$4.6~~$5.0 million the same period prior year due to a ~~$41.9~~$13.3 million increase in the average balance ~~in the net loan receivable.~~of loans receivable, net.

The ~~decrease~~increase was due to a ~~$15.1~~$6.0 million, or ~~16.3%~~7.8%, ~~decrease~~increase in the average balance of such securities and deposits to ~~$77.8 million from $92.9~~$83.8 million for the three months ended December 31, ~~2016 compared~~2017 from $77.8 million at December 31, 2016.

As a result, interest paid on interest-bearing deposits increased ~~$28,000~~$165,000 to $894,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 from $729,000 for the three months ended December 31, ~~2016 from $701,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2015.~~2016.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to earnings, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group information and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events occur.

Table of Contents

After an evaluation of these factors, management recorded a provision of $250,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to a provision of $330,000 for the three months ended December 31, ~~2016 compared~~2016. The provision for loan losses decreased due in part to ~~a provision of $178,000~~lower net charge offs, which were $188,000 for the three months ended December 31, ~~2015. The provision for loan losses increased due growth in net loans receivable and~~2017 compared to net charge offs ~~totaling~~of $216,000 for the three months ended December 31, ~~2016 compared to net recoveries of $36,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2015.~~2016.

During the three months ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, the Bank reduced the carrying balance on ~~two~~three loans totaling ~~$1.2 million~~$420,000 by ~~$255,000~~$297,000 to the ~~appraised~~estimated fair value of collateral, net of estimated disposition costs, securing the loans. Offsetting these charge-offs were ~~six~~five partial recoveries of loans previously charged-off totaling ~~$39,000~~$109,000 during the quarter.

Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Management reviews the level of the allowance on a quarterly basis, and establishes the provision for loan losses based on the factors set forth in the preceding paragraph. As management evaluates the allowance for loan losses, the increased risk associated with larger non-homogenous construction, commercial real estate and commercial business loans may result in larger additions to the allowance for loan losses in future periods.

Other Income.Non-interest income ~~decreased $156,000,~~increased $183,000, or ~~25.1%~~39.4%, to ~~$465,000~~$648,000 during the three months ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 compared to ~~$621,000~~$465,000 for the three months ended December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. The ~~decrease~~increase in non-interest income was attributable to ~~lower service charges and~~higher gains from the sales of assets. ~~Service charges declined $36,000, or 11.7%, due to lower prepayment penalties while gains~~Gains from the sales of ~~assets declined $123,000 from fewer sales~~loans increased $100,000 while gains on the sale of ~~SBA loans and~~ investment ~~securities.~~securities increased $107,000.

Other Expenses.Non-interest expenses ~~decreased $17,000~~increased $303,000, or 7.5%, to ~~$4.0~~$4.3 million during the three months ended December 31, ~~2016. Other~~2017. Compensation and employee benefit expenses increased $136,000 between the quarterly periods due to the opening of the Bank’s seventh branch location in June of 2017 as well as annual merit increases for employees. The opening of the Bank’s Edison branch also contributed to an $85,000 increase in other expenses between periods. Finally, other real estate owned (“OREO”) expenses ~~decreased $204,000~~increased $53,000 between the quarterly periods due to ~~lower~~higher valuation allowances ~~established against the carrying values~~on properties under contract of ~~properties. Partially offsetting this decline was higher compensation and employee benefit expense, which increased by $159,000.~~sale at December 31, 2017.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded tax expense of $564,000 on income of $893,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2017, compared with $240,000 on income of $587,000 for the three months ended December 31, ~~2016, compared~~2016. The income expense increase was the result of higher income from operations and a $306,000 charge resulting from the write-down of deferred tax assets due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017, which lowered the Company’s federal income tax rate from 34% to 21%.

The Company recognized additional tax expense in our tax provision for the period ended December 31, 2017 related to adjustment of our net deferred tax asset to reflect the new corporate tax rate. As a result, income tax expense reported for the first three months was adjusted to reflect the effects of the change in the tax law and resulted in an increase in income tax expense of ~~$193,000 on~~$207,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. This amount comprises a reduction of $99,000 in income tax expense for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017 related to the lower corporate income tax rate and $306,000 from the application of ~~$502,000~~the newly enacted rates to existing deferred tax asset balances.

The federal income tax rate change is administratively effective at the beginning of our fiscal year resulting in the use of a blended rate for the annual period. As a result, the blended statutory federal tax rate for the Company for the year ending September 30, 2018 is 24.0%. The Company utilized an effective combined federal and state tax rate of 30.8% and 39.9% for the three months ended December 31, ~~2015. The effective tax rate for the three months ended~~2017 and December 31, 2016, ~~was 40.9% compared to 38.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2015.~~respectively.
