Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation	Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company,” “us,” “our,” or “we”) was formed on April 3, 2006 to serve as the stock holding company for Lake Shore Savings Bank (“the Bank”) as part of the Bank’s conversion and reorganization from a New York-chartered mutual savings and loan association to the federal mutual holding company form of organization. The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank, its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions of the consolidated subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim financial statements included herein as of September 30, 2015 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and therefore, do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of such information and to make the financial statements not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent period or the entire year ending December 31, 2015. To prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management of the Company made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the reporting of revenue and expenses. 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, securities valuation estimates, evaluation of impairment of securities and income taxes. The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2015 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.

New Accounting Standards [Abstract]
New Accounting Standards	Note 2 – New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ ASU ”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 is intended to clarify and simplify revenue recognition principles, develop a common revenue standard across industries and accounting frameworks, and improve the usefulness and consistency of revenue reporting. In response to stakeholders’ requests to defer the effective date of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 and in consideration of feedback received through extensive outreach with preparers, practitioners, and users of financial statements, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”) in August 2015. ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 for all public business entities. Early application is permitted as of annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016. The Company has not yet determined the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial condition and results of operations. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) : Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period ” (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 applies to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The update requires that a performance target be treated as a performance condition. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. ASU 2014-12 is effective for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Management does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

At September 30, 2015 and at December 31, 2014, equity securities consisted of 22,368 shares of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) common stock. At September 30, 2015, thirty-four municipal bonds with a cost of $ 11.1 million and fair value of $ 11.7 million were pledged under a collateral agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) of New York for liquidity borrowing. At December 31, 2014 thirty-one municipal bonds with a cost of $ 10.7 million and fair value of $ 11.4 million were pledged with the FRB of New York for liquidity borrowing. In addition, at September 30, 2015, seven municipal bonds with a cost of $1.6 million and a fair value of $ 1.7 million, were pledged as collateral for customer deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. At December 31, 2014, six municipal bonds with a cost and fair value of $ 1.5 million and $ 1.6 million, respectively , were pledged as collateral for customer deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. The following table sets forth the Company’s investment in securities available for sale with gross unrealized losses of less than twelve months and gross unrealized losses of twelve months or more and associated fair values as of the dates indicated: Less than 12 months 12 months or more Total Gross Gross Gross Unrealized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Value Losses Fair Value Losses Fair Value Losses (Dollars In thousands) September 30, 2015 Municipal bonds $ $ $ $ $ $ Mortgage-backed securities Asset-backed securities -private label $ $ $ $ $ $ Less than 12 months 12 months or more Total Gross Gross Gross Unrealized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Value Losses Fair Value Losses Fair Value Losses (Dollars In thousands) December 31, 2014 Municipal bonds $ - $ - $ $ $ $ Mortgage-backed securities Asset-backed securities -private label $ $ $ $ $ $ The Company reviews investment securities on an ongoing basis for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) with formal reviews performed quarterly. The Company determines whether the unrealized losses are other-than-temporary in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320 “ Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. ” The evaluation is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors, the underlying collateral 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, length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than cost, and near-term prospects of the issuer. The Company uses the cash flow 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 provisions in the applicable bond indenture and other factors, then applies a discounting rate equal to the effective yield of the security. If the present value of the expected cash flows is less than the amortized book value , it 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 security. The difference between the fair value and the credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of taxes. At September 30, 2015, the Company’s investment portfolio included three municipal bonds, seven mortgage-backed securities and one private-label asset-backed security in the “unrealized losses less than twelve months” category. The three municipal bonds and seven mortgage-backed securities were not evaluated further for OTTI as the unrealized losses on the individual securities were less than 20% of book value, which management deemed to be immaterial. In addition, the mortgage-backed securities were issued by government sponsored enterprises. The Company expects these securities to be repaid in full, with no losses realized. Management does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell these securities. At September 30, 2015, the Company had one municipal bond, eighteen mortgage-backed securities and one private label asset-backed security in the “unrealized losses twelve months or more” category. The one municipal bond and eighteen mortgage-backed securities were not evaluated further for OTTI, as the unrealized losses were less than 20% of book value. The temporary impairments were due to declines in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates and/or increased credit liquidity spreads since the securities were purchased. The Company expects these securities to be repaid in full, with no losses realized. Management does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell these securities. The following table provides additional information relating to the private label asset-backed securities with gross unrealized losses as of September 30, 2015 (dollars in thousands): Unrealized Lowest Delinquent % Security Book Value Fair Value Loss Rating Over 60 days Over 90 days Foreclosure% OREO% $ $ $ (57) CCC 18.40% 17.90% 8.20% 2.80% (15) CCC 16.50% 15.60% 7.20% 1.50% Total $ $ $ (72) The two private label asset-backed securities listed above were evaluated for OTTI under the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 320. The Company believes the unrealized losses on these private label asset-backed securities occurred due to challenges in the economic environment resulting from the recent financial crisis and increased levels of delinquency trends in the underlying loan pools. It is possible that principal losses may be incurred on the tranches we hold in these specific securities. Management’s evaluation of the estimated discounted cash flows in comparison to the amortized book value for the securities listed above did not reflect the need to record an OTTI charge against earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The estimated discounted cash flows for these securities did not show an additional principal loss under various prepayment and default rate scenarios. Management concluded that it does not intend to sell these securities and that it is not likely it will be required to sell these securities. Management also completed an OTTI analysis for two private label asset-backed securities, which did not have unrealized losses as of September 30, 2015. Management reviewed key credit metrics for these securities, including delinquency rates, cumulative default rates, prepayment speeds, foreclosure rates, loan-to-value ratios and credit support levels. Management’s calculation of the estimated discounted cash flows did not show additional principal losses for these securities under various prepayment and default rate scenarios. As a result of the stress tests that were performed, management concluded that additional OTTI charges were not required as of September 30, 2015 on these securities. Management also concluded that it does not intend to sell the securities and that it is not likely it will be required to sell these securities. The unrealized losses shown in the previous table, were recorded as a component of other comprehensive loss, net of tax on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. The following table presents a summary of the credit-related OTTI charges recognized as components of income : For The Nine Months Ended September 30, For The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 (Dollars in thousands) Beginning balance $ $ Additions: Credit loss not previously recognized - - Reductions: Realized loss on sale of security on OTTI previously recognized - Losses realized during the period on OTTI previously recognized Receipt of cash flows on previously recorded OTTI Ending balance $ $ Further deterioration in credit quality and/or a continuation of the current imbalances in liquidity that exist in the marketplace might adversely affect the fair values of the Company’s investment portfolio and may increase the potential that certain unrealized losses will be designated as “other-than-temporary” and that the Company may incur additional write-downs in future periods. Scheduled contractual maturities of available for sale securities are as follows: Amortized Fair Cost Value (Dollars in thousands) September 30, 2015: After one year through five years $ $ After five years through ten years After ten years Mortgage-backed securities Asset-backed securities Equity securities $ $ During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company sold twenty-seven municipal bonds and two mortgage-backed securities for total proceeds of $ 9.8 million, resulting in realized gains of $ 440,000 . The Company sold one private-label, asset-backed security and six mortgage-backed securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 for total proceeds of $10.3 million, resulting in gross realized gains of $ 274,000 and gross realized losses of $ 215,000 .

Allowance for Loan Losses [Abstract]
Allowance for Loan Losses	Note 4 - Allowance for Loan Losses Management segregates the loan portfolio into loan types and analyzes the risk level for each loan type when determining its allowance for loan losses. The loan types are as follows: Real Estate Loans: · One- to Four-Family – are loans secured by first lien collateral on residential real estate primarily held in the Western New York region. These loans can be affected by economic conditions and the value of underlying properties. Western New York’s housing market has consistently demonstrated stability in home prices despite economic conditions. Furthermore, the Company has conservative underwriting standards and its residential lending policies and procedures ensure that its one- to four-family residential mortgage loans generally conform to secondary market guidelines. · Home Equity - are loans or lines of credit secured by second lien collateral on owner-occupied residential real estate primarily held in the Western New York region . These loans can also be affected by economic conditions and the values of underlying properties. Home equity loans may have increased risk of loss if the Company does not hold the first mortgage resulting in the Company being in a secondary position in the event of collateral liquidation. The Company does not originate interest only home equity loans. · Commercial Real Estate – are loans used to finance the purchase of real property, which generally consists of developed real estate that is held as first lien collateral for the loan. These loans are secured by real estate properties that are primarily held in the Western New York region. Commercial real estate lending involves additional risks compared with one- to four-family residential lending, because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, and/or the collateral value of the commercial real estate securing the loan, and repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or economic conditions to a greater extent than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Also, commercial real estate loans typically involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Accordingly, the nature of these types of loans make them more difficult for the Company to monitor and evaluate. · Construction – are loans to finance the construction of either one- to four-family owner occupied homes or commercial real estate. At the end of the construction period, the loan automatically converts to either a one- to four-family or commercial mortgage, as applicable. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion compared to the actual cost of construction. The Company limits its risk during construction as disbursements are not made until the required work for each advance has been completed and an updated lien search is performed. The completion of the construction progress is verified by inspections performed by an independent appraisal firm. Construction delays may further impair the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. Other Loans: · Commercial – includes business installment loans, lines of credit, and other commercial loans. Most of our commercial loans have fixed interest rates, and are for terms generally not in excess of 5 years. Whenever possible, we collateralize these loans with a lien on business assets and equipment and require the personal guarantees from principals of the borrower. Commercial loans generally involve a higher degree of credit risk because the collateral underlying the loans may be in the form of intangible assets and/or inventory subject to market obsolescence. Commercial loans can also involve relatively large loan balances to a single borrower or groups of related borrowers, with the repayment of such loans typically dependent on the successful operation of the commercial business and the income stream of the borrower. Such risks can be significantly affected by economic conditions. Although commercial loans may be collateralized by equipment or other business assets, the liquidation of collateral in the event of a borrower default may be an insufficient source of repayment because the equipment or other business assets may be obsolete or of limited use, among other things. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial loan depends primarily on the credit worthiness of the borrowers (and any guarantors), while liquidation of collateral is a secondary and often insufficient source of repayment. · Consumer – consists of loans secured by collateral such as an automobile or a deposit account, unsecured loans and lines of credit. Consumer loans tend to have a higher credit risk due to the loans being either unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciable assets. Furthermore, consumer loan payments are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and therefore are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account that reflects the Company’s evaluation of the losses inherent in its loan portfolio. In order to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company estimates losses by loan type using historical loss factors, as well as other environmental factors, such as trends in loan volume and loan type, loan concentrations, changes in the experience, ability and depth of the Company’s lending management, and national and local economic conditions. The Company's determination as to the classification of loans and the amount of loss allowances are subject to review by bank regulators, which can require the establishment of additional loss allowances. The Company also reviews all loans on which the collectability of principal may not be reasonably assured, by reviewing payment status, financial conditions and estimated value of loan collateral. These loans are assigned an internal loan grade, and the Company assigns the amount of loss components to these classified loans based on loan grade. The following tables summarize the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the distribution of the allowance for loan losses and loan receivable by loan portfolio class and impairment method as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Although the allocations noted above are by loan type, the allowance for loan losses is general in nature and is available to offset losses from any loan in the Company’s portfolio. The unallocated component of the allowance for loan losses reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for existing specific and general losses in the portfolio. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial real estate loans and commercial loans. Larger groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer, home equity, or one- to four-family loans for impairment disclosure, unless they are subject to a troubled debt restructuring. The following is a summary of information pertaining to impaired loans at or for the periods indicated: Unpaid Average Interest Recorded Principal Related Recorded Income Investment Balance Allowance Investment Recognized For the Nine Months Ended At September 30, 2015 September 30, 2015 (Dollars in thousands) With no related allowance recorded: Residential, one- to four-family $ $ $ - $ $ Home equity - - Commercial real estate - Commercial loans - With an allowance recorded: Commercial real estate - Commercial loans - - - - - Total $ $ $ $ $ For the Year Ended At December 31, 2014 December 31, 2014 (Dollars in thousands) With no related allowance recorded: Residential, one- to four-family $ $ $ - $ $ Home equity - Commercial real estate - Commercial loans - - With an allowance recorded: Commercial real estate Commercial loans - - - - Total $ $ $ $ $ The following table provides an analysis of past due loans and non-accruing loans as of the dates indicated: 90 Days or 30-59 Days 60-89 Days More Total Past Current Total Loans Loans on Past Due Past Due Past Due Due Due Receivable Non-Accrual (Dollars in thousands) September 30, 2015: Real Estate Loans: Residential, one- to four-family $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Home equity Commercial - - Construction - - - - - - - Other Loans: Commercial - Consumer Total $ $ $ $ $ $ $ December 31, 2014: Real Estate Loans: Residential, one- to four-family $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Home equity Commercial - Construction - - - - - Other Loans: Commercial Consumer Total $ $ $ $ $ $ $ The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. A loan does not have to be 90 days delinquent in order to be classified as non-accrual. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received. If ultimate collection of principal is in doubt, all cash receipts on impaired loans are applied to reduce the principal balance . Interest income not recognized on non-accrual loans during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $ 313,000 and $278,000 , respectively. The Company’s policies provide for the classification of loans as follows: · Pass/Performing; · Special Mention – does not currently expose the Company to a sufficient degree of risk but does possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving the Company’s close attention; · Substandard – has one or more well-defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. A substandard asset would be one inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or pledged collateral, if applicable; · Doubtful – has all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss; and · Loss – loan is considered uncollectible and continuance without the establishment of a specific valuation reserve is not warranted. The Company’s Asset Classification Committee is responsible for monitoring risk ratings and making changes as deemed appropriate. Each commercial loan is individually assigned a loan classification. The Company’s consumer loans, including residential one- to four-family loans and home equity loans, are not classified as described above. Instead, the Company uses the delinquency status as the basis for classifying these loans. Unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection, all consumer loans that are more than 90 days past due are classified. The following table summarizes the internal loan grades applied to the Company’s loan portfolio as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014: Pass/Performing Special Mention Substandard Doubtful Loss Total (Dollars in thousands) September 30, 2015 Real Estate Loans: Residential, one- to four-family $ $ - $ $ - $ - $ Home equity - - - Commercial - Construction - - - - - - Other Loans: Commercial - Consumer - - Total $ $ $ $ $ $ December 31, 2014 Real Estate Loans: Residential, one- to four-family $ $ - $ $ - $ - $ Home equity - Commercial - Construction - - - - Other Loans: Commercial - Consumer - - Total $ $ $ $ $ $ Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) occur when we grant borrowers concessions that we would not otherwise grant but for economic or legal reasons pertaining to the borrower’s financial difficulties. A concession is made when the terms of the loan modification are more favorable than the terms the borrower would have received in the current market under similar financial difficulties. These concessions may include, but are not limited to, modifications of the terms of the debt, the transfer of assets or the issuance of an equity interest by the borrower to satisfy all or part of the debt, or the addition of borrower(s). The Company identifies loans for potential TDRs primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future. Generally, we will not return a TDR to accrual status until the borrower has demonstrated the ability to make principal and interest payments under the restructured terms for at least six consecutive months. The Company’s TDRs are impaired loans, which may result in specific allocations and subsequent charge-offs if appropriate. The following table summarizes the loans that were classified as TDRs as of the dates indicated: Non-Accruing Accruing TDRs That Have Defaulted on Modified Terms Year to Date Number of Loans Recorded Investment Number of Loans Recorded Investment Number of Loans Recorded Investment Number of Loans Recorded Investment (Dollars in thousands) At September 30, 2015 Real Estate Loans: Residential, one- to four-family $ - $ - $ - $ - Home equity - - - - Total $ - $ - $ - $ - At December 31, 2014 Real Estate Loans: Residential, one- to four-family $ - $ - $ - $ - Home equity - - - - Total $ - $ - $ - $ - No additional loan commitments were outstanding to these borrowers at September 30, 2015 and at December 31, 2014. There were no loans restructured and classified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. No loans were first deemed TDR s during the three months ended September 30, 2014. The following table details the activity in loans which were first deemed to be TDRs during the nine months ended September 30, 2014: For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 Number of Loans Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Real Estate Loans: Residential, one- to four-family $ $ Home equity Total $ $ Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in full collection of principal and interest, as modified, which may result in potential losses. These potential losses have been factored into our overall estimate of the allowance for loan losses. Foreclosed real estate consists of property acquired in settlement of loans which is carried at its fair value less estimated selling costs. Write-downs from cost to fair value less estimated selling costs are recorded at the date of acquisition or repossession and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Foreclosed real estate was $344,000 and $401,000 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and was included as a component of other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The recorded investment of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties, for which formal foreclosure proceeds are in process according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction, was $799,000 and $861,000 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Earnings per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share	Note 5 – Earnings per Share Earnings per share was calculated for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, exclusive of unearned shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “ESOP”), unearned shares held by the Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”), and unearned shares held by the Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”). Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of dilutive securities. Stock options are regarded as potential common stock and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent they would be dilutive and computed using the treasury stock method. The calculated basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 Numerator – net income $ $ Denominator: Basic weighted average shares outstanding Increase in weighted average shares outstanding due to: Stock options Diluted weighted average shares outstanding Earnings per share: Basic $ $ Diluted $ $ Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 Numerator – net income $ $ Denominator: Basic weighted average shares outstanding Increase in weighted average shares outstanding due to: Stock options Diluted weighted average shares outstanding Earnings per share: Basic $ $ Diluted $ $

Commitments to Extend Credit [Abstract]
Commitments to Extend Credit	Note 6 – Commitments to Extend Credit The Company has commitments to extend credit with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The following commitments to extend credit were outstanding as of the dates specified: Contract Amount September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 (Dollars in thousands) Commitments to grant loans $ $ Unfunded commitments under lines of credit $ $ Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s loan commitments with fixed rates for the next five years totaled $ 10.1 million and $ 17.0 million, respectively. The range of interest rates on these fixed rate commitments was 3.54 % to 6.25 % at September 30, 2015.

Stock-based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation	Note 7 – Stock-based Compensation As of September 30, 2015, the Company had four stock-based compensation plans, which are described below. The compensation cost that has been recorded under salary and benefits expense in the non-interest expense section of the consolidated statements of income for these plans was $ 84,000 and $ 62,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The compensation cost that has been recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $245,000 and $131,000 , respectively. 2006 Stock Option Plan The Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders, permits the grant of options to its employees and non-employee directors for up to 297,562 shares of common stock. Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted under the Stock Option Plan. The exercise price of each stock option equals the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and an option’s maximum term is ten years. The stock options generally vest over a five year period. A summary of the status of the Stock Option Plan as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 is presented below: September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 Options Exercise Price Remaining Contractual Life Options Exercise Price Remaining Contractual Life Outstanding at beginning of year $ $ Granted - - - - Exercised Forfeited - - - - Outstanding at end of period $ 1 year $ 2 years Options exercisable at end of period $ 1 year $ 2 years Fair value of options granted - - : At September 30, 2015, stock options outstanding had an intrinsic value of $ 429,000 and 60,753 options remained available for grant under the Stock Option Plan.

Compensation expense related to the RRP amounted to $16,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 and $14,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Compensation expense related to the RRP amounted to $49,000 and $24,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At September 30, 2015, $ 255,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the RRP is expected to be recognized over a period of 24 to 58 months. A summary of the status of unvested shares under the RRP for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: 2015 Weighted Average Grant Price 2014 Weighted Average Grant Price Unvested shares outstanding at beginning of year $ $ Granted Vested Forfeited - - - - Unvested shares outstanding at end of period $ $ 2012 Equity Incentive Plan The Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders on May 23, 2012, permits the grant of restricted stock awards, incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options to employees and non-employee directors for up to 200,000 shares of common stock. As required by federal regulations, awards were not permitted to be made under the EIP until Federal Reserve Board approval was obtained. On April 24, 2014, the Company received the approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia to begin making awards under the EIP. The Board of Directors has granted restricted stock awards under the EIP during 2015 as follows: Grant Date Number of Restricted Stock Awards Vesting Fair Value of Award on Grant Date Awardees January 20, 2015 100% on December 18, 2015 $ Non-employee directors January 20, 2015 100% on December 15, 2017, if three year performance metric is achieved Employees January 30, 2015 100% on December 15, 2017, if three year performance metric is achieved Employees A summary of the status of unvested restricted stock awards under the EIP for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: 2015 Weighted Average Grant Price 2014 Weighted Average Grant Price Unvested shares outstanding at beginning of year $ - $ - Granted Vested - - Forfeited - - - - Unvested shares outstanding at end of period $ $ As of September 30, 2015 there were 7,724 shares vested or distributed to eligible participants under the EIP.

At September 30, 2015, $327,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards is expected to be recognized over a period of 3 to 47 months. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) The Company established the ESOP for the benefit of eligible employees of the Company and the Bank. All Company and Bank employees meeting certain age and service requirements are eligible to participate in the ESOP. Participants’ benefits become fully vested after five years of service once the employee is eligible to participate in the ESOP. The Company utilized $ 2.6 million of the proceeds of its 2006 stock offering to extend a loan to the ESOP and the ESOP used such proceeds to purchase 238,050 shares on the open market at an average price of $ 10.70 per share, plus commission expenses. As a result of the purchase of shares by the ESOP, total stockholders’ equity of the Company was reduced by $ 2.6 million. As of September 30, 2015, the balance of the loan to the ESOP was $ 1.7 million and the fair value of unallocated shares was $ 2.2 million. As of September 30, 2015, there were 58,263 allocated shares and 166,634 unallocated shares compared to 51,647 allocated shares and 174,569 unallocated shares at September 30, 2014. The ESOP compensation expense was $27,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 and $22,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, based on 1,984 shares earned in each of those quarters. The ESOP compensation expense was $81,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and $71,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 based on 5,951 shares earned in each of those periods.

Fair Value of Financial Instrum

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	9 Months Ended

Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Note 8 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported here. The measurement of fair value under FASB ASC Topic 820, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, ” (“ASC Topic 820”) establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities measurements (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable input measurements (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows: Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2015 September 30, Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Other Unobservable Inputs 2015 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (Dollars in thousands) Measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Securities available for sale: U.S. Treasury bonds $ $ $ - $ - Municipal bonds - - Mortgage-backed securities: Collateralized mortgage obligations-private label - - Collateralized mortgage obligations-government sponsored entities - - Government National Mortgage Association - - Federal National Mortgage Association - - Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation - - Asset-backed securities: Private label - - Government sponsored entities - - Equity securities - - Total $ $ $ $ Measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis: Impaired loans $ $ - $ - $ Foreclosed real estate - - Any transfers between levels would be recognized as of the actual date of event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no reclassifications between the Level 1 and Level 2 categories for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2014 December 31, Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Other Unobservable Inputs 2014 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (Dollars in thousands) Measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Securities available for sale: U.S. Treasury bonds $ $ $ - $ - Municipal bonds - - Mortgage-backed securities: Collateralized mortgage obligations-private label - - Collateralized mortgage obligations-government sponsored entities - - Government National Mortgage Association - - Federal National Mortgage Association - - Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation - - Asset-backed securities: Private label - - Government sponsored entities - - Equity securities - - Total $ $ $ $ Measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis: Impaired loans $ $ - $ - $ Foreclosed real estate - - Level 2 inputs for assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means. The following table presents a reconciliation of the securities available for sale measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), specifically, asset-backed securities - private label, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014: 2015 2014 (Dollars in thousands) Beginning Balance $ $ Total gains - realized/unrealized: Included in earnings - - Included in other comprehensive income/loss Total losses - realized/unrealized: Included in earnings - Included in other comprehensive income/loss Sales - Principal paydowns Transfers to (out of) Level 3 - - Ending Balance $ $ Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, any unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs. The following table presents additional quantitative information about the Level 3 inputs for the asset-backed securities - private label category. The fair values for this category were developed using the discounted cash flow technique with the following unobservable input ranges as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands): Unobservable Inputs Security Category Fair Value Loan Type/Collateral Credit Ratings Constant Prepayment Speed (CPR) Probability of Default (Annual Default Rate) Loss Severity September 30, 2015 Asset-backed securities - private label $ Sub-prime First and Prime Second Lien - Residential Real Estate B- thru D 4 - 10 4.0% - 6.0% 70.0% - 100.0% December 31, 2014 Asset-backed securities - private label $ Sub-prime First and Prime Second Lien - Residential Real Estate B- thru D 4 - 10 4.0% - 6.0% 70.0% - 100.0% Level 3 inputs are determined by internal management with inputs from its third party financial advisor on a quarterly basis. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s asset-backed, private label securities are prepayment rates, probability of default and loss severity in the event of default. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. In addition to disclosure of the fair value of assets on a recurring basis, ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as impaired assets and foreclosed real estate. Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of these loans. Non-recurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated as required by ASC Topic 310, “ Receivables – Loan Impairment, ” when establishing the allowance for loan losses. An impaired loan is carried at fair value based on either a recent independent appraisal less estimated selling costs of related collateral or discounted cash flows based on current market conditions. At September 30, 2015, impaired loans valued using Level 3 inputs had a carrying amount of $726,000 and valuation allowances of $200,000 reflecting fair values of $646,000 . By comparison, at December 31, 2014, impaired loans valued using Level 3 inputs had a carrying amount of $642,000 and valuation allowances of $178,000 reflecting fair values of $673,000 . Once a loan is determined to be impaired, the fair value of the loan continues to be evaluated based upon the market value of the underlying collateral securing the loan. At September 30, 2015, impaired loans whose carrying amount was written down utilizing Level 3 inputs during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 comprised of one loan with a fair value of $593,000 and resulted in an additional provision for loan loss of $22,000 . At December 31, 2014, impaired loans whose carrying amount was written down utilizing Level 3 inputs during the year ended December 31, 2014 comprised of one loan with a fair value of $620,000 and resulted in an additional provision for loan loss of $53,000 . At September 30, 2015, foreclosed real estate valued using Level 3 inputs had a carrying amount of $358,000 and valuation allowances of $52,000 reflecting fair values of $349,000 . By comparison at December 31, 2014, foreclosed real estate valued using Level 3 inputs had a carrying amount of $484,000 and valuation allowances of $120,000 reflecting fair values of $487,000 . Once a loan is foreclosed, the fair value of the real estate owned continues to be evaluated based upon the market value of the repossessed real estate originally securing the loan. At September 30, 2015, foreclosed real estate whose carrying value was written down utilizing Level 3 inputs during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 comprised of seven properties with a fair value of $264,000 and resulted in an additional provision for loan loss of $39,000 . At December 31, 2014, foreclosed real estate whose carrying value was written down utilizing Level 3 inputs during the year ended December 31, 2014 comprised of four properties with a fair value of $334,000 and resulted in an additional provision for loan losses of $26,000 and subsequent write-downs recorded in non-interest expense of $43,000 . The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value: Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements (Dollars in thousands) Fair Value Estimate Valuation Technique Unobservable Input Range At September 30, 2015 Impaired loans $ Market valuation of underlying collateral (1) Appraisal Adjustments (2) 0.00 - 25.00 % Direct Disposal Costs (3) 7.00 - 10.00 % Foreclosed real estate Market valuation of property (1) Direct Disposal Costs (3) 7.00 - 15.00 % At December 31, 2014 Impaired loans $ Market valuation of underlying collateral (1) Appraisal Adjustments (2) 0.00 - 25.00 % Direct Disposal Costs (3) 7.00 - 10.00 % Foreclosed real estate Market valuation of property (1) Direct Disposal Costs (3) 7.00 - 15.00 % (1) Fair value is generally determined through independent third-party appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally includes various Level 3 inputs which are not observable . (2) Appraisals may be adjusted downward by management for qualitative factors, such as economic conditions. Downward adjustments may be caused by negative changes to the collateral or conditions in the real estate market, known property damage, estimated changes in potential cash flow (i.e., rental income) generated by the property, lack of an interior inspection or age of the appraisal. (3) The fair value basis of impaired loans and foreclosed real estate may be adjusted to reflect management estimates of disposal costs including, but not necessarily limited to, real estate brokerage commissions, legal fees, and delinquent property taxes, with such costs estimates generally ranging from 7 to 15% of collateral or property market value. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, whether carried at cost or fair value, are as follows: Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2015 Carrying Estimated Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Other Unobservable Inputs Amount Fair Value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (Dollars in thousands) Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ $ $ $ - $ - Securities available for sale Federal Home Loan Bank stock - - Loans receivable, net - - Accrued interest receivable - - Financial liabilities: Deposits - - Long-term debt - - Accrued interest payable - - Off-balance-sheet financial instruments - - - - - Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2014 Carrying Estimated Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Other Unobservable Inputs Amount Fair Value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (Dollars in thousands) Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ $ $ $ - $ - Securities available for sale Federal Home Loan Bank stock - - Loans receivable, net - - Accrued interest receivable - - Financial liabilities: Deposits - - Long-term debt - - Accrued interest payable - - Off-balance-sheet financial instruments - - - - - The following valuation techniques were used to measure the fair value of financial instruments in the above table: Cash and cash equivalents (carried at cost) The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. Securities available for sale (carried at fair value) The fair value of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1) or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution date, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things. Level 2 securities which are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets, are valued using prices obtained from our custodian, who use third party data service providers. Securities available for sale measured within the Level 3 category consist of private label asset-backed securities. The fair value measurement for these Level 3 securities is explained more fully earlier in this footnote. Federal Home Loan Bank stock (carried at cost) The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value. Loans Receivable (carried at cost) The fair value of fixed-rate and variable rate performing loans is estimated using a discounted cash flow method. The discount rates take into account interest rates currently being offered to customers for loans with similar terms and with estimated maturity and market factors including liquidity. The estimate of maturity is based on the Company’s contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates based on current economic and lending conditions. Due to the significant judgment involved in evaluating credit quality, loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (carried at cost) The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and payable approximates fair value. Deposits (carried at cost) The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as savings, money market and checking is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows at current rates of interest for similar deposits using market rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Due to the minimal amount of unobservable inputs involved in evaluating assumptions used for discounted cash flows of time deposits, these deposits are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Borrowings (carried at cost) The fair value of long-term debt was calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows at current market rates of interest for similar borrowings through maturity of each instrument. Due to the minimal amount of unobservable inputs involved in evaluating assumptions used for discounted cash flows of long-term debt, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount of short term borrowings approximates fair value of such liability. Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments (disclosed at cost) Fair values of the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. Other than loan commitments, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition.

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting	The interim financial statements included herein as of September 30, 2015 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and therefore, do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of such information and to make the financial statements not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent period or the entire year ending December 31, 2015.
Consolidation	The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank, its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions of the consolidated subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	To prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management of the Company made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the reporting of revenue and expenses. 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, securities valuation estimates, evaluation of impairment of securities and income taxes.
Subsequent Events	The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2015 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.

Investment Securities [Abstract]
Investment Impairment	The Company determines whether the unrealized losses are other-than-temporary in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320 “ Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. ” The evaluation is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors, the underlying collateral 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, length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than cost, and near-term prospects of the issuer. The Company uses the cash flow 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 provisions in the applicable bond indenture and other factors, then applies a discounting rate equal to the effective yield of the security. If the present value of the expected cash flows is less than the amortized book value , it 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 security. The difference between the fair value and the credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of taxes.

Allowance for Loan Losses (Poli

Allowance for Loan Losses [Abstract]
Allowance for Loan Losses	The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account that reflects the Company’s evaluation of the losses inherent in its loan portfolio. In order to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company estimates losses by loan type using historical loss factors, as well as other environmental factors, such as trends in loan volume and loan type, loan concentrations, changes in the experience, ability and depth of the Company’s lending management, and national and local economic conditions. The Company's determination as to the classification of loans and the amount of loss allowances are subject to review by bank regulators, which can require the establishment of additional loss allowances. The Company also reviews all loans on which the collectability of principal may not be reasonably assured, by reviewing payment status, financial conditions and estimated value of loan collateral. These loans are assigned an internal loan grade, and the Company assigns the amount of loss components to these classified loans based on loan grade.
Impaired Financing Receivable	A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial real estate loans and commercial loans. Larger groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer, home equity, or one- to four-family loans for impairment disclosure, unless they are subject to a troubled debt restructuring.
Nonaccrual Loan Status	The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. A loan does not have to be 90 days delinquent in order to be classified as non-accrual. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received. If ultimate collection of principal is in doubt, all cash receipts on impaired loans are applied to reduce the principal balance .
Financing Receivable Credit Quality	The Company’s policies provide for the classification of loans as follows: · Pass/Performing; · Special Mention – does not currently expose the Company to a sufficient degree of risk but does possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving the Company’s close attention; · Substandard – has one or more well-defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. A substandard asset would be one inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or pledged collateral, if applicable; · Doubtful – has all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss; and · Loss – loan is considered uncollectible and continuance without the establishment of a specific valuation reserve is not warranted. The Company’s Asset Classification Committee is responsible for monitoring risk ratings and making changes as deemed appropriate. Each commercial loan is individually assigned a loan classification. The Company’s consumer loans, including residential one- to four-family loans and home equity loans, are not classified as described above. Instead, the Company uses the delinquency status as the basis for classifying these loans. Unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection, all consumer loans that are more than 90 days past due are classified.
Loans and Leases Receivable, Troubled Debt Restructuring	Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) occur when we grant borrowers concessions that we would not otherwise grant but for economic or legal reasons pertaining to the borrower’s financial difficulties. A concession is made when the terms of the loan modification are more favorable than the terms the borrower would have received in the current market under similar financial difficulties. These concessions may include, but are not limited to, modifications of the terms of the debt, the transfer of assets or the issuance of an equity interest by the borrower to satisfy all or part of the debt, or the addition of borrower(s). The Company identifies loans for potential TDRs primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future. Generally, we will not return a TDR to accrual status until the borrower has demonstrated the ability to make principal and interest payments under the restructured terms for at least six consecutive months. The Company’s TDRs are impaired loans, which may result in specific allocations and subsequent charge-offs if appropriate.
Foreclosed real estate	Foreclosed real estate consists of property acquired in settlement of loans which is carried at its fair value less estimated selling costs. Write-downs from cost to fair value less estimated selling costs are recorded at the date of acquisition or repossession and are charged to the allowance for loan losses.

Earnings per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share	Earnings per share was calculated for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, exclusive of unearned shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “ESOP”), unearned shares held by the Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”), and unearned shares held by the Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”). Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of dilutive securities. Stock options are regarded as potential common stock and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent they would be dilutive and computed using the treasury stock method.

Commitments to Extend Credit [Abstract]
Commitments to Extend Credit	Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract]
Fair Value Transfer	Any transfers between levels would be recognized as of the actual date of event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	The measurement of fair value under FASB ASC Topic 820, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, ” (“ASC Topic 820”) establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities measurements (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable input measurements (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(2) Appraisals may be adjusted downward by management for qualitative factors, such as economic conditions. Downward adjustments may be caused by negative changes to the collateral or conditions in the real estate market, known property damage, estimated changes in potential cash flow (i.e., rental income) generated by the property, lack of an interior inspection or age of the appraisal. (3) The fair value basis of impaired loans and foreclosed real estate may be adjusted to reflect management estimates of disposal costs including, but not necessarily limited to, real estate brokerage commissions, legal fees, and delinquent property taxes, with such costs estimates generally ranging from 7 to 15% of collateral or property market value.
