All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey to serve as a holding company for the Bank and to acquire all the capital stock of the Bank (referred to herein as the “holding company reorganization”).
The Company’s class of common stock has no par value and the Bank’s class of common stock has a par value of $10 per share.
The financial information in this quarterly report has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”); these financial statements have not been audited.

Both the Company and the Bank are subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Bank is regulated by state and federal agencies and is subject to periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

The Bank makes commercial loans, consumer loans, and both residential and commercial real estate loans. In addition, the Bank provides other customer services and makes investments in securities, as permitted by law. The Bank has sought to offer an alternative, community-oriented style of banking in an area, that is presently dominated by larger, statewide and national institutions. The Bank continues to focus on establishing and retaining customer relationships by offering a broad range of traditional financial services and products, competitively-priced and delivered in a responsive manner to small businesses, professionals and individuals in its market area. As a community bank, the Bank endeavors to provide superior customer service that is highly personalized, efficient and responsive to local needs.

registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. Each of the investors in the private placement was a member of the Company’s board of directors or related party. The Company contributed the proceeds of the private placement to the Bank.
Note 3. Benefit Plans and Stock-Based Compensation
2006 Stock Option Plan
During 2006, the Bank’s stockholders approved the 2006 Stock Option Plan. At the time of the holding company reorganization, the 2006 Stock Option Plan was assumed by the Company. The plan allows the Company to grant options to directors and employees of the Company to purchase up to 239,984 shares of the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2015, incentive stock options to purchase 210,900 shares have been issued to employees of the Bank under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, of which options to purchase 159,700 shares were outstanding.
Under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, there were no unvested options at June 30, 2015 and accordingly no unrecognized share based compensation expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, options to purchase 2,200 shares of common stock, at a weighted average price of $9.09 per share were exercised for a total price of $20,000. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, options to purchase 26,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average price $10.48 per share were exercised for a total price of $272,000. No options were granted or forfeited through the 2006 Stock Option Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
2007 Director Plan
During 2007, the Bank’s stockholders approved the 2007 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Directors (the “2007 Director Plan”). At the time of the holding company reorganization, the 2007 Director Plan was assumed by the Company. This plan provides for 480,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued to non-employee directors of the Company. At June 30, 2015, non-qualified options to purchase 460,000 shares of the Company’s stock have been issued to non-employee directors of the Company under the 2007 Director Plan and approximately 331,334 were outstanding at June 30, 2015. No options were granted, exercised or forfeited through the 2007 Director Plan during the first six months of 2015.
Under the 2007 Director Plan, there were no unvested options at June 30, 2015 and no unrecognized compensation expense.
In connection with both the 2006 Stock Option Plan and the 2007 Director Plan, no share based compensation expense was recognized for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The aggregate intrinsic value of a stock option represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their options on that date. This amount changes based on the changes in the market value in the Company’s stock.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of June 30, 2015 under the 2006 Stock Option Plan and the 2007 Director Plan was approximately $214 thousand.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of June 30, 2014 under the 2006 Stock Option Plan and the 2007 Director Plan was approximately $782 thousand.
2011 Equity Incentive Plan
During 2011, the shareholders of the Company approved the Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan ( the “2011 Plan”). This plan authorizes the issuance of up to 250,000 shares of the
9
Table of Contents
Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances described in the 2011 Plan, pursuant to awards of incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or performance awards. Employees, directors, consultants, and other service providers of the Company and its affiliates (primarily the Bank) are eligible to receive awards under the 2011 Plan, provided, that only employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 3,218 shares of stock to certain members of the Bank’s management team. These shares vested immediately and the expense was recorded during the first six months of 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, $52 thousand and $52 thousand, respectively, was recorded as expense for restricted stock that has been issued through the 2011 Plan in prior years. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, $106 thousand and $146 thousand, respectively, was recorded as expense for restricted stock that has been issued through the 2011 Plan in prior years. At June 30, 2015, there were a total of approximately 48,000 shares of unvested restricted stock and approximately $558 thousand of compensation expense which will be recorded over the next three years. No options were granted, exercised or forfeited through the 2011 Plan during the first six months of 2015.
Note 4. Earnings Per Share.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for a period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for a period by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and dilutive common share equivalents during that period. Outstanding “common share equivalents” include options and warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock.
The following table shows earnings per share for the three month periods presented:

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 other-than-temporary-impairment 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.

Table of Contents
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 June 30, 2015, the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio consisted of twenty one securities, of which nineteen were in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months and one was in a loss position for less than twelve months. No OTTI charges were recorded for the three or six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities. Unrealized losses primarily relate to interest rate fluctuations and not credit concerns.
Securities with an amortized cost of $16.3 million and a fair value of $16.1 million, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds on deposit at June 30, 2015. Securities with an amortized cost of $10.4 million and a fair value of $10.0 million, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds on deposit at December 31, 2014.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company sold two securities from its available for sale portfolio and recognized a loss of approximately $10 thousand. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company sold three securities from its available for sale portfolio and recognized a loss of approximately $15 thousand. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company did not sell any securities from its held to maturity portfolio. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company sold two securities from its available for sale portfolio and recognized a loss of approximately $2 thousand. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not sell any securities from its held to maturity portfolio.

The Company 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 Company’s lien on the property. Such factors are dependent upon various economic conditions and individual circumstances beyond the Company’s control; the Company is therefore subject to risk of loss. The Company 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.

Troubled debt restructured loans (“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, a combination of these concessions or other actions to maximize collection.

We may obtain physical possession of real estate collateralizing a residential mortgage loan or home equity loan via foreclosure or an in-substance repossession. As of June 30, 2015, we have foreclosed residential real estate properties with a carrying value of $731 thousand as a result of obtaining physical possession. In addition, as of June 30, 2015, we had residential mortgage loans and home equity loans with a carrying value of $2.3 million collateralized by residential real estate property for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process.
Note 7. Guarantees
The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than the Company’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 Company generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $1.7 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 June 30, 2015 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements
U. S. GAAP 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:
· 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.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):

(1) Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable.
(2) Appraisals may be adjusted for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

Table of Contents
Other real estate owned assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned. The fair value of other real estate owned is based upon independent third party appraisal values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values.
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 transactions 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 each period end.
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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Interest Bearing Time Deposits
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
The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.
Loans Receivable
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 re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values approximate carrying values.
Impaired loans
Impaired loans are those for which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. Fair value is generally based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates fair value.
Deposits
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time deposits.
Borrowed Funds
Fair values of FHLBNY amortizing advances are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using discount rates determined by where the cash flow falls on the FHLBNY advance curve. These discount rates (curve) are found on one of the various FHLBNY web sites. Fair values disclosed for short term
26
Table of Contents
advances on lines of credit are equal to their carrying value due to their term generally being no more than 14 days.
Limitation
The preceding fair value estimates were made at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
This note provides a summary description of recent accounting standards that have significant implications (elected or required) within the consolidated financial statements, or that management expects may have a significant impact on financial statements issued in the near future.
ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure
In January, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. This ASU clarifies that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. The ASU also requires additional related interim and annual disclosures. The guidance in this ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The implementation of ASU 2014-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU establish a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this objective, the standard requires five basic steps: i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Public entities will apply the new standard for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Three basic transition methods are available — full retrospective, retrospective with certain practical expedients, and
27
Table of Contents
a cumulative effect approach. Under the third alternative, an entity would apply the new revenue standard only to contracts that are incomplete under legacy U.S. GAAP at the date of initial application (e.g. January 1, 2018) and recognize the cumulative effect of the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. That is, prior years would not be restated and additional disclosures would be required to enable users of the financial statements to understand the impact of adopting the new standard in the current year compared to prior years that are presented under legacy U.S. GAAP. Early adoption is prohibited under U.S. GAAP. The same three transition alternatives apply. The implementation of ASU 2014-09 should not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
ASU 2014-14, Receivables — Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force
In August 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, Receivables — Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The amendments in this ASU address a practice issue related to the classification of certain foreclosed residential and nonresidential mortgage loans that are either fully or partially guaranteed under government programs. Specifically, creditors should reclassify loans that meet certain conditions to “other receivables” upon foreclosure, rather than reclassifying them to other real estate owned (OREO). The separate other receivable recorded upon foreclosure is to be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) the creditor expects to recover from the guarantor. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The implementation of ASU 2014-14 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Statements Regarding Forward Looking Information
This document contains forward-looking statements, in addition to historical information. Forward looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” and variations of such words and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” or similar expressions. The U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provide a safe harbor in regard to the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this document and documents incorporated by reference.
You should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this document and in the documents that are incorporated by reference, could affect the future financial results of Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. and its subsidiaries and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this document. These factors include, but are not limited, to the following:
· Current economic conditions affecting the financial industry;
· Changes in interest rates and shape of the yield curve;
· Credit risk associated with our lending activities;
· Risks relating to our market area, significant real estate collateral and the real estate market;
· Operating, legal and regulatory compliance risk;
· Our ability to attract and retain well-qualified management;
· Fiscal and monetary policy;
· Economic, political and competitive forces affecting our business; and
· That management’s analysis of these risks and factors could be incorrect, and/or that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful.
Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc., referred to as “we” or the “Company,” cautions that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, all of which change over time, and we assume no duty to update forward-looking statements, except as may be required by applicable law or regulation, and except as required by applicable law or regulation, we do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date made, and we advise readers that various factors, including those described above, could affect our financial performance and could cause actual results or circumstances for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
The consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the consolidated unaudited financial statements, management is
29
Table of Contents
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 unaudited 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 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) impaired loans for which specific reserves are established; (2) classified loans for which the general valuation allowance for the respective loan type is deemed to be inadequate; and (3) performing loans for which a general valuation allowance is established. We maintain a loan review system which provides for a systematic review of the loan portfolios and the 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. Specific reserves are established for impaired loans based on a review of such information and/or appraisals of the underlying collateral. General reserves 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 reserves 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 maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level. 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 and increased non-performing loans, and thus a need to make additional provisions for loan losses. Any provision reduces our net income. While the allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, it is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. A change in economic conditions could adversely affect the value of properties collateralizing real estate loans, resulting in increased charges against the allowance and reduced recoveries, and require additional provisions for loan losses. Furthermore, growth or a change in the composition of our loan portfolio could require 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. Such agencies may require the Bank to effect changes that result in additions to the allowance based on the agencies’ judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.
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 Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
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. 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 other expenses, and income tax expense.
Net Income
Net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $1.3 million compared to $1.1 million for second quarter of 2014, an increase of $216 thousand, or 20.0%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans of $1.4 million, 22.4%. This was offset somewhat by increases in non-interest expenses and interest expense of $752 thousand and $482 thousand, respectively.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $2.4 million compared to net income of approximately $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $469 thousand, or 24.1%. The increase was again driven by an increase in interest income on loans of $3.0 million, offset by increases in non-interest expense and interest expense of $1.6 million and $915 thousand, respectively.
On a per share basis, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.21 for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.20 for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $0.01 per share, or 5.0%. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.41 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.36 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $.05, or 13.9%.
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 June 30, 2015, the growth in net interest income was powered primarily by increased interest income from loans, including fees. Interest income on loans increased $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period last year. This increase in interest income was due to a $138.3 million increase in the average balance of loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, up to $657.8 million as compared to the second quarter of 2014 average loan balance of $519.4 million, offset somewhat by a decrease in the average rate earned on loans, from 4.94% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 down to 4.77% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of 17 basis points. Interest expense increased by $482 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, and was due in most part to an increase in the average balance of interest bearing deposits of $110.3 million, up to $610.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $500.2 million on average for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. In addition, the average balance of borrowings increased from $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, up to $30.3 million for the same quarter this year, an increase of $29.2 million. The average interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased 2 basis points to 1.27% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, from 1.25% for the corresponding period last year.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, net interest income reached $11.9 million compared to $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $2.1 million, or 20.9%. This increase is
31
Table of Contents
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 $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $3.0 million, or 23.0%. At the same time, total interest expense increased by $915 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company’s average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased to 1.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from 1.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses represents our determination of the amount necessary to bring our allowance for loan losses to the level that we consider adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. See “Allowance for Loan Losses” for additional information about our allowance for loan losses and our methodology for determining the amount of the allowance. The provision for loan losses was $413 thousand and $783 thousand for the three months and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $344 thousand and $784 thousand for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, was due to the charge-off of a commercial loan in the amount of $229 thousand, which was fully provisioned for during the quarter. The loan loss provision for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was basically unchanged from the provision for loan losses one year ago. This was due to the commercial loan charge-off, offset somewhat by a slower loan growth for the Bank for the six months ended June 30, 2015, when compared to the same period in 2014.
Non-interest Income
Our non-interest income is comprised primarily of service fees received from deposit accounts and gains (losses) on the sales of securities. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015, non-interest income increased by $36 thousand and $25 thousand, respectively, as compared to the three months and six months ended June 20, 2014.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense grew to $3.8 million during the second quarter of 2015 compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of approximately $752 thousand. This increase was due in most part to increases in salaries and employee benefits, other expenses and occupancy and equipment expense of $309 thousand, $138 thousand and $137 thousand, respectively. These increases were due in part to general increases in staff, salaries and benefits as well as the costs associated with the Bank’s entry into the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) program. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, non-interest expense reached approximately $7.6 million from approximately $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $1.6 million, or 27.3%. The six month increases were due in most part to increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, other expenses and other real estate owned expenses of $592 thousand, $195 thousand, $331 thousand and $142 thousand, respectively. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to general increases in staff, salaries and benefits. The increase in other real estate owned related expenses was due to the write down in the fair market value of the two properties in other real estate owned of approximately $160 thousand. Other expenses increased, in part, due to increases in advertising and third party payroll servicing expenses, which increased $65 thousand and $60 thousand, respectively.
Income Tax Expense
The income tax provision decreased $30 thousand to $664 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $694 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, income tax expense was $1.3 million, basically unchanged from the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in
32
Table of Contents
the income tax expense for the three and six months ended 2015, as compared to the same periods in 2014 was due primarily to the impact of our establishment of a Real Estate Investment Trust or REIT during the third quarter of 2014, offset by increases in our pre-tax income of $186 thousand and $463 thousand for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014. The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, were 33.9% and 34.3%, respectively, compared to 39.2% and 39.4%, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2014.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total consolidated assets increased $59.3 million, or approximately 8.0%, from $743.7 million at December 31, 2014 to $802.9 million at June 30, 2015. Loans receivable, or “total loans,” increased from $626.4 million at December 31, 2014 to $643.3 million at June 30, 2015, an increase of approximately $16.9 million, or 2.7%. Total cash and cash equivalents increased from $22.1 million at December 31, 2014 to $74.5 million at June 30, 2015, an increase of $52.4 million. Total deposits grew by $51.0 million to $700.0 million at June 30, 2015, from $649.0 million at December 31, 2014.
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 2.7% to reach $643.3 million at June 30, 2015 from $626.4 million at December 31 2014. Commercial real estate and consumer loans increased by $24.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, offset somewhat by decreases in home equity loans, residential mortgages and commercial loans of $4.6 million, $2.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2015. 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 loans, commercial and residential real estate loans, consumer loans and home equity loans. 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. Real estate loans consist of loans secured by commercial or residential real property and loans for the construction of commercial or residential property. Consumer loans and home equity 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.
For more information on the loan portfolio, see Note 6 in Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
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 past due and restructured loans, potential problem loans and loan concentrations.
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
34
Table of Contents
factors are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval. Loans made are also subject to periodic audit and review.
As of June 30, 2015 the Bank had seventeen nonaccrual loans totaling approximately $7.4 million, of which one loan totaling approximately $248 thousand had a specific reserve of $70 thousand and sixteen loans totaling approximately $7.2 million had no specific reserve. If nonaccrual loans had been current in accordance with their original terms and had been outstanding throughout the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, the gross interest income that would have been recorded in such periods would have been approximately $103 thousand and $198 thousand, respectively.
Within its nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2015, the Bank had five residential mortgage loans, two home equity loans and one commercial real estate loan that met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loan. TDRs are loans where the contractual terms have been modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications could include a reduction in the interest rate of the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, a combination of these concessions or other actions to maximize collection. At June 30, 2015, nonaccrual TDR loans had an outstanding balance of $5.2 million and had specific reserves of $70 thousand connected with them. Of the nonaccruing TDR loans, three residential mortgage loans and two home equity loans totaling $3.2 million and $932 thousand, respectively, are performing in accordance with their modified terms.
During the first six months of 2015, there were no new TDR loans. During the first six months of 2014, one residential mortgage loan totaling $400 thousand was modified as a TDR. This loan is performing in accordance with its modified terms. At June 30, 2015, the Bank had a total of two accruing loans which met the definition of a TDR.
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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
Investment Securities
Securities held as available for sale (“AFS”) were $55.8 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $58.5 million at December 31, 2014.
Deposits
Deposits remain our primary source of funds. Total deposits increased to $700.0 million at June 30, 2015 from $649.0 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $51.0 million, or 7.9%. Time deposits, savings and interest bearing transaction accounts and noninterest bearing accounts increased by $32.8 million, $14.0 million, and $4.2 million, respectively, during the first six months of 2015.
Borrowed Funds
Borrowings consist of long term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“ FHLBNY”) and short term advances on lines of credit with Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”). The long term advances are secured under terms of a blanket collateral agreement by a pledge of qualifying mortgage loans. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank had outstanding borrowings of $29.8 million and $33.0 million, respectively, with the FHLBNY
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. While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flow
35
Table of Contents
and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by prevailing interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. In addition, if warranted, we would be able to borrow funds.
Our total deposits equaled $700.0 million and $649.0 million, respectively, at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. During the first six months of 2015, the Company closed on a private placement of approximately $9.5 million, or 868,057 shares of common stock and contributed the proceeds to the Bank. Cash and cash equivalents increased from $22.1 million on December 31, 2014 to $74.5 million on June 30, 2015. The increase in deposits and the proceeds from the private placement funded the increase in loans discussed above as well as the increase in cash and cash equivalents.
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.
As of June 30, 2015, we had 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 June 30, 2015. 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. At June 30, 2015, we had $29.8 million of borrowed funds from the FHLBNY.
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.
In July 2013, the federal banking agencies issued final rules to implement the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (commonly known as Basel III) and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The phase-in period for community banking organizations began January 1, 2015. The final rules call for a minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, a minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6%, a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8% (no change from the current rule) and a minimum leverage ratio of 4%.
In addition, the final rules establish a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets applicable to all banking organizations. If a banking organization fails to hold capital above the minimum capital ratios and the capital conservation buffer, it will be subject to certain restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. The phase-in period for the capital conservation, as well as countercyclical capital buffers, which increase the required amount of capital in times of economic expansion, consistent with safety and soundness, will begin for all banking organizations on January 1, 2016.
