Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.
In determining OTTI management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost; (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer; (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an OTTI decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on information available to management at a point in time. An OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.
When OTTI for debt securities occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If an entity intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI would be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI would be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors would be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable tax benefit. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings would become the new amortized cost basis of the investment.
At September 30, 2012, the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio consisted of 35 securities, of which five were in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and none were in a loss position for more than twelve months. No OTTI charges were recorded for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and will not more likely than not be required to sell these securities. Unrealized losses primarily relate to interest rate fluctuations and not credit concerns.

The Bank grants commercial, mortgage and installment loans to those New Jersey residents and businesses within its local trading area. Its borrowers’ abilities to repay their obligations are dependent upon various factors, including the borrowers’ income and net worth, cash flows generated by the underlying collateral, value of the underlying collateral and priority of the Bank’s lien on the property. Such factors are dependent upon various economic conditions and individual circumstances beyond the Bank’s control; the Bank is therefore subject to risk of loss. The Bank believes its lending policies and procedures adequately manage the potential exposure to such risks and that an allowance for loan losses is provided for management’s best estimate of probable loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses and recorded investment in loan receivables for the periods indicated are as follows (in thousands):

Note 7. Guarantees
The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than the Bank’s standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. As of September 30, 2012, the Bank had $2.0 million of commercial and similar letters of credit. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payment required under the corresponding guarantees. Management believes that the current amount of the liability as of September 30, 2012 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.
Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
Under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
21
Table of Contents
· Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
· Level 2 Inputs - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
· Level 3 Inputs - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (that is, supported with little or no market activity).
The level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of that asset or liability.
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 sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period end and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at the respective reporting dates.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s finanical instruments at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:
Cash and Cash Equivalents (Carried at cost)
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.
Securities
The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining 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. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquiditiy and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) were used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments.
Restricted Investment in Bank Stock (Carried at Cost)
The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.
Loans Receivable (Carried at Cost)
The fair value of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and the interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
Impaired loans
Impaired loans are those that are accounted for under ASC Sub-topic 310-40, “Troubled Debt Restructurings” by Creditors, in which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally deteremined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
24
Table of Contents
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost)
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates fair value.
Other real estate owned
Other real estate owned assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned. Subsequently, other real estate owned assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values.
Deposits (Carried at Cost)
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (for example, interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time deposits.

Limitation
The preceding fair value estimates were made at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 based on pertinent market data and relevant information on the financial instrument. These estimates do not include any premium or discount that could result from an offer to sell at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument or category thereof. Since no market exists for a substantial portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates were necessarily based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk assessment of various financial instruments, and other factors. Given the innately subjective nature of these estimates, the uncertainties surrounding them and the matter of significant judgment that must be applied, these fair value estimates cannot be calculated with precision. Modifications in such assumptions could meaningfully alter these estimates.
Since these fair value approximations were made solely for on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, no attempt was made to estimate the value of anticipated future business. Furthermore, certain tax implications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a substantial impact on these fair value estimates and have not been incorporated into the estimates.
Note 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2011-11 (Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities)
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11,”Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” This project began as an attempt to converge the offsetting requirements under U.S. GAAP and IFRS. However, as the Boards were not able to reach a converged solution with regards to offsetting requirements, the Boards developed convergent disclosure requirements to assist in reconciling differences in the offsetting requirements under U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. ASU No. 2011-11 also requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting arrangements or similar arrangements. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
ASU 2011-04 (Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs)
This ASU amends FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, to bring U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements in line with International Accounting Standards. The ASU clarifies existing guidance for items such as: the application of the highest and best use concept to non-financial assets and liabilities; the application of fair value measurement to financial instruments classified in a reporting entity’s stockholder’s equity; and disclosure requirements regarding quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of level 3 assets. The ASU also creates an exception to Topic 820 for entities which carry financial instruments within a portfolio or group, under which the entity is now permitted to base the price used for fair valuation upon a price that would be received to sell the net asset position or transfer a net liability position in an orderly transaction. The ASU also allows for the application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement if the financial instrument is categorized in level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Lastly, the ASU contains new disclosure requirements regarding fair value amounts categorized as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy such as: disclosure of the valuation process used; effects of and relationships between unobservable inputs; usage of nonfinancial assets for purposes other than their highest and best use when that is the basis of the disclosed fair value; and categorization by level of items disclosed at fair value, but not measured at fair value for financial statement purposes. For public entities, this ASU is effective for interim and annual periods

beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
ASU 2011-05 (Presentation of Comprehensive Income)
The provisions of this ASU amend FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, to facilitate the continued alignment of U.S. GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards. The ASU prohibits the presentation of the components of comprehensive income in the statement of stockholder’s equity. Reporting entities are allowed to present either: a statement of comprehensive income, which reports both net income and other comprehensive income; or separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. Under previous GAAP, all 3 presentations were acceptable. Regardless of the presentation selected, the Reporting Entity is required to present all reclassifications between other comprehensive and net income on the face of the new statement or statements. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 for public entities. For nonpublic entities, the provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. As the two remaining options for presentation existed prior to the issuance of this ASU, early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the period indicated. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Management believes the following critical accounting policies encompass the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) represents our best estimate of losses known and inherent in our loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate. In determining the amount of the ALLL, we consider the losses inherent in our loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of our loan activities, along with general economic and real estate market conditions. We utilize a segmented approach which identifies: (1) performing loans, which are collectively evaluated and for which a general valuation allowance is established; (2) classified loans that are collectively evaluated and for which a higher general valuation allowance is established; and (3) impaired loans, which are individually evaluated and for which specific reserves are established. We maintain a loan review system which provides for a systematic review of the loan portfolios and with the goal of early identification of impaired loans. The review of residential real estate and home equity consumer loans, as well as other more complex loans, is triggered by identified evaluation factors, including delinquency status, size of loan, type of collateral and the financial condition of the borrower. All commercial loans are evaluated individually for impairment. Specific loan loss allowances are established for impaired loans based on a review of such information and/or appraisals of the underlying collateral. General loan loss allowances are based upon a combination of factors including, but not limited to, actual loan loss experience, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and management’s judgment.
Although specific and general loan loss allowances are established in accordance with management’s best estimates, actual losses are dependent upon future events, and as such, further provisions for loan losses may be necessary in order to increase the level of the allowance for loan losses. For example, our evaluation of the allowance includes consideration of current economic conditions, and a change in economic conditions could reduce the ability of borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans. This could result in increased delinquencies, increased non-performing loans, and additional probable losses, and thus a need to make additional provisions for loan losses. Any such additional provisions for loan losses would result in a reduction to our earnings. A change in economic conditions could also adversely affect the value of properties collateralizing real estate loans and reduced recoveries, resulting in additional provisions for loan losses. Furthermore, a change in the composition, or growth, of our loan portfolio could result in the need for additional provisions for loan losses. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require the Bank to make additional provisions for loan losses based on their judgements of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the period in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be settled or realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs. Deferred tax assets are reduced, through a valuation allowance, if necessary, by the amount of such benefits that are not expected to be realized based on current available evidence.

Results of Operations
Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets consist principally of loans and investment securities, while interest-bearing liabilities consist primarily of deposits and borrowings. Net income is also affected by the provision for loan losses and the level of non-interest income as well as by non-interest expenses, including salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, and income tax expense.
Net Income
Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $1.1 million compared to net income of $901 thousand for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $241 thousand, or 26.7%. This increase was due in most part to an increase in net interest income of approximately $644 thousand, or 16.9%, and an increase in the gains on the sales of securities of $238 thousand, offset somewhat by increases in non-interest expenses, and income taxes of $525 thousand and $152 thousand, respectively.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $3.0 million compared to net income of approximately $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $682 thousand, or 29.0%. The increase was due to increases in net interest income and gains on the sales of securities of $1.6 million and $238 thousand, respectively, and a decrease in the loss on the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) of $203 thousand, offset somewhat by increases in non-interest expenses and income tax expense of $932 thousand and $409 thousand, respectively.
On a per share basis, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.22 for the third quarter of 2012 as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.17 for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $0.05 per share, or 29.4%. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.58 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.45 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $0.13 per share, or 28.9%.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them. For the three month period ended September 30, 2012, the growth in net interest income has been, primarily, powered by increased interest income from loans, including fees. Interest income on loans increased by $716 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period last year. This increase in interest income was due to a $63.3 million increase in the average balance of loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, up to $409.7 million as compared to the third quarter of 2011 average loan balance of $346.4 million, offset somewhat by a decrease in the average rate earned on loans, from 5.53% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 down to 5.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of 15 basis points. Interest expense increased by $361 thousand year over year and was due in most part to an increase in the average balance of interest bearing deposits of $106.2 million, up to $426.0 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $319.8 million on average for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The average interest rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased 4 basis points to 1.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from 1.50% for the same period last year.

Table of Contents
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net interest income reached $12.8 million compared to $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $1.6 million, or 14.4%. This increase is attributable to the increase in interest income from loans, including fees and is due in most part to the increase in average loans. Interest income from loans, including fees, securities and federal funds sold reached $17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $2.7 million or 18.7%. At the same time, interest expense increased from $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $1.1 million, or 33.0%. The Company’s average rate paid on interest bearing deposits increased to 1.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from 1.45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is a recorded expense that adjusts the allowance for loan losses to a level, which, in management’s best estimate, is adequate to absorb probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. Through the application of our ALLL methodology, the provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including, among other factors, the levels of and trends related to nonaccrual loans, past due loans, potential problem loans, criticized loans, net charge-offs or recoveries and growth in the loan portfolio. Accordingly, the amount of the provision reflects both the necessary increases in the allowance for loan losses related to new loans and newly identified criticized loans, as well as the actions taken related to other loans including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans or loan pools. The provision for loan losses was $260 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $300 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $40 thousand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the provision for loan losses was $885 thousand as compared to $898 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $13 thousand. At September 30, 2012, the Bank’s ALLL was approximately $5.0 million, or 1.20% of total loans, as compared to $4.5 million and 1.23% of total loans at December 31, 2011. At September 30, 2012, the Bank had non-accruing loans of $5.9 million as compared to $6.2 million at December 31, 2011.
Non-interest Income (Loss)
Non-interest income (loss) consists primarily of fees and service charges, gains on the sales of securities and a loss on the sale of OREO. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, non-interest income increased by $234 thousand as compared to the three months ended September 20, 2011. The increase was due to a gain from the sales of securities during the 2012 third quarter in the amount of $238 thousand. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, non-interest income increased by $403 thousand when compared to the same period in 2011. This gain was due to the above mentioned gains on the sales of securities in the third quarter of 2012 and a loss on the sale of OREO of $203 thousand during the first nine months of 2011.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense grew to $2.6 million during the third quarter of 2012 compared to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of approximately $525 thousand, or 25.4%. This increase was due in most part to increases in occupancy and equipment expense, salaries and employee benefits, and data processing of $174 thousand, $138 thousand and $41 thousand, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, non-interest expense reached approximately $7.2 million from approximately $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $932 thousand, or 14.8%. The nine month increase was due in most part to increases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment and data processing of $506 thousand, $340 thousand and $136 thousand, respectively. For both periods the increases in salaries, occupancy and equipment expense and data processing fees were

primarily due to the opening of two new branches, Englewood, in September of 2011, and Cliffside Park, in March of 2012.
Income Tax Expense
The income tax provision reached $745 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $593 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of $152 thousand, or 25.6%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, income tax expense was $2.0 million as compared to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of $409 thousand, or 26.0%. The income tax provision is reflective of our pre-tax income and the effect of permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These permanent tax differences include the recognition of non-deductible stock option expense as required under applicable accounting guidance (FASB ASC 718). The effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, were 39.5% and 39.5%, respectively, compared to 39.7% and 40.1%, respectively, for the same periods in 2011.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total consolidated assets increased $79.0 million, or approximately 16.8%, from $469.8 million at December 31, 2011 to $548.8 million at September 30, 2012. Total deposits increased from $416.2 million at December 31, 2011 to $492.5 million at September 30, 2012, an increase of $76.3 million, or approximately 18.3%. Loans receivable, or “total loans,” increased from $365.2 million at December 31, 2011 to $418.1 million at September 30, 2012, an increase of $52.9 million, or approximately 14.5%.
Loans
Our loan portfolio is the primary component of our assets. Total loans, which exclude net deferred fees and costs and the allowance for loan losses, increased by 14.5% to reach $418.1 million at September 30, 2012 from $365.2 million at December 31 2011. This growth in the loan portfolio continues to be primarily attributable to recommendations and referrals from members of our board of directors, our shareholders, our executive officers, and selective marketing by our management and staff. We believe that we will continue to have opportunities for loan growth within the Bergen County market of northern New Jersey, due in part, to our customer service, and competitive rate structures.
Our loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans, residential mortgages, commercial loans, home equity loans and consumer loans. Commercial real estate loans consist of loans secured by commercial real property and loans for the construction of commercial or residential property. Residential mortgages are loans secured by residential real property. Commercial loans are made for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment or inventory, as well as for other business purposes. Home equity and consumer loans are made for the purpose of financing the purchase of consumer goods, home improvements, and other personal needs, and are generally secured by the personal property being owned or being purchased.
Our loans are primarily to businesses and individuals located in Bergen County, New Jersey. We have not made loans to borrowers outside of the United States. We have not made any sub-prime loans. Commercial lending activities are focused primarily on lending to small business borrowers. We believe that our strategy of customer service, competitive rate structures, and selective marketing have enabled us to gain market entry to local loans. Furthermore, we believe that bank mergers and lending restrictions at larger financial institutions with which we compete have also contributed to the success of our efforts to attract borrowers. Additionally, during this current economic climate, our capital position and safety has also become important to potential borrowers.

Loan Quality
As mentioned above, our principal assets are our loans. Inherent in the lending function is the risk of the borrower’s inability to repay a loan under its existing terms. Risk elements include nonaccrual loans, past due and restructured loans, potential problem loans, loan concentrations, and other real estate owned.
Non-performing assets include loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more and accruing loans that are 90 days past due, troubled debt restructuring loans and foreclosed assets. When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals discontinue and all past due interest, including interest applicable to prior years, is reversed and charged against current income. Until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of such payments of interest.
We attempt to manage overall credit risk through loan diversification and our loan underwriting and approval procedures. Due diligence begins at the time we begin to discuss the origination of a loan with a borrower. Documentation, including a borrower’s credit history, materials establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of the loan, the source and timing of the repayment of the loan, and other factors are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval. Loans made are also subject to periodic audit and review.
As of September 30, 2012 the Bank had eleven non-accrual loans totaling approximately $5.9 million, of which six loans totaling approximately $2.0 million had specific reserves of $497 thousand and five loans totaling approximately $3.9 million had no specific reserve. If interest had been accrued, such income would have been approximately $86 thousand and $260 thousand, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. Within its non-accrual loans at September 30, 2012, the Bank had two residential mortgage loans that met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loan. TDRs are loans where the contractual terms of the loan have been modified for a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications could include a reduction in the interest rate of the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal or other actions to maximize collection. At September 30, 2012, these TDR loans had an outstanding balance of $797 thousand and had specific reserves of $127 thousand. One of the TDR loans had an outstanding balance of $310 thousand and was performing in accordance with its modified terms.
A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (FASB ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. At September 30, 2012, the Bank had 12 impaired loans totaling approximately $6.3 million, of which six loans totaling approximately $2.0 million had specific reserves of $497 thousand and six loans totaling approximately $4.3 million had no specific reserves. At September 30, 2012, three TDR loans had an outstanding balance of approximately $1.2 million and had specific reserves of $127 thousand. One residential mortgage loan with an outstanding balance of $387 thousand was not performing in accordance with its modified terms.
As a community bank, our market area is concentrated in Bergen County, New Jersey, and as a result we have a concentration of loans collateralized by real estate, primarily in our market area at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. We have on occasion extended loans to customers that are secured by properties located in the New Jersey barrier islands and surrounding areas. These areas were severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy, which impacted the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States from October 28, 2012 to October 30, 2012. On most collateral dependent loans, our exposure is limited due to the existence of flood and property insurance. We monitor our borrower’s insurance coverage on a regular basis and force place insurance, as necessary. We are in the process of assessing the
33

damage that may have occurred to the underlying properties and there is a risk that collateral for these loans has been damaged, however as of the date of this filing, the Company does not anticipate that the storm damage will have a material impact on its operations. The Bank’s loan portfolio has no foreign loans and no sub-prime loans.
Investment Securities
Securities held as available for sale (“AFS”) were approximately $83.2 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $56.6 million at December 31, 2011. This increase in the AFS category represented the purchase of securities during the period with funds in excess of federal funds sold. Securities held to maturity decreased $1.1 million to $3.7 million at September 30, 2012 from $4.8 million at December 31, 2011.
Deposits
Deposits remain our primary source of funds. Total deposits increased to $492.5 million at September 30, 2012 from $416.2 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $76.3 million, or 18.3%. Savings and interest bearing checking accounts, time deposits and noninterest-bearing checking accounts grew $32.3 million, $26.7 million and $17.3 million, respectively. We believe this increase is due, in part, to the public perception of our safety and soundness. During this interest rate environment, our time deposit products, which have been attractive to customers, have allowed the Bank to increase its overall deposits while keeping its overall cost of deposits, excluding noninterest-bearing deposits, relatively flat, increasing 1 basis point for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, up to 1.48%. The Bank’s cost of deposits, including noninterest-bearing deposits, decreased by 1 basis point for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 1.30% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 rate of 1.31%. The increase in deposits is also attributable to the continued referrals of our board of directors, stockholders, management, and staff. The Bank has no foreign deposits, nor are there any material concentrations of deposits.
Liquidity
Our liquidity is a measure of our ability to fund loans, withdrawals or maturities of deposits, and other cash outflows in a cost-effective manner. Our principal sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal, maturities of investment securities, and funds provided by operations. In addition, if warranted, we would be able to borrow funds. While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flow and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by prevailing interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.
Our total deposits equaled $492.5 million and $416.2 million, respectively, at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The growth in funds provided by deposit inflows during this period, coupled with our cash position during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, were sufficient to provide for our loan demand during the period.
Through the investment portfolio, we have generally sought to obtain a safe, yet slightly higher yield than would have been available to us as a net seller of overnight federal funds, while maintaining liquidity. Through our investment portfolio, we also attempt to manage our maturity gap, by seeking maturities of investments which coincide with maturities of deposits. The investment portfolio also includes securities available for sale to provide liquidity for anticipated loan demand and other liquidity needs.
34
Table of Contents
As of September 30, 2012, we have a $12 million overnight line of credit with First Tennessee Bank and a $10 million overnight line of credit with Atlantic Central Bankers Bank for the purchase of federal funds in the event that temporary liquidity needs arise. There were no amounts outstanding under either facility at September 30, 2012. We are an approved member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, or “FHLBNY.” The FHLBNY relationship could provide additional sources of liquidity, if required.
We believe that our current sources of funds provide adequate liquidity for our current cash flow needs.
Capital Resources
A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital base. Our federal regulators have classified and defined our capital into the following components: (1) Tier 1 Capital, which includes tangible shareholders’ equity for common stock and qualifying preferred stock, and (2) Tier 2 Capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses, certain qualifying long-term debt, and preferred stock which does not qualify for Tier 1 Capital. Minimum capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, which require certain capital as a percent of our assets and certain off-balance sheet items, adjusted for predefined credit risk factors, referred to as “risk-adjusted assets.”
Pursuant to federal regulation we are required to maintain, at a minimum, Tier 1 Capital as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 4.0% and combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital, or “Total Capital,” as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 8.0%.
In addition to the risk-based guidelines, our regulators require that an institution which meets the regulator’s highest performance and operation standards maintain a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 Capital as a percentage of tangible assets) of 3.0%. For those institutions with higher levels of risk or that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth, the minimum leverage ratio will be evaluated through the ongoing regulatory examination process. We are currently required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.0%.
The following table summarizes the Bank’s risk-based capital and leverage ratios at September 30, 2012, as well as the applicable minimum ratios:
| | | | | | Minimum | |
| | | | | | Regulatory | |
| | September 30, 2012 | | December 31, 2011 | | Requirements | |
Risk-Based Capital: | | | | | | | |
Tier 1 Capital Ratio | | 12.62 | % | 14.01 | % | 4.00 | % |
Total Capital Ratio | | 13.80 | % | 15.23 | % | 8.00 | % |
Leverage Ratio | | 9.92 | % | 11.37 | % | 4.00 | % |
The capital levels detailed above reflect the success of our initial stock offering as well as our results of operations. As we continue to employ our capital and grow our operations, we expect that our capital levels will decrease, but that we will remain a “well-capitalized” institution.
The Company is subject to similar regulatory capital requirements, and its capital ratios are similar to the Bank’s capital ratios as presented in the table above.
