Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

Cape Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that was incorporated on September 14, 2007 for the purpose of becoming the holding company of Cape Bank.

Cape Bank (the “Bank”) is a New Jersey-chartered stock savings bank. The Bank provides a complete line of business and personal banking products through its fourteen full service offices located throughout Atlantic and Cape May counties in Southern New Jersey, including its main office located at 225 North Main Street, Cape May Court House, New Jersey, one drive-up teller/ATM operation in Atlantic County, and two market development offices (“MDOs”) located in Burlington County, New Jersey and in Radnor, Pennsylvania, which services the five county Philadelphia market area.

The Bank faces significant competition in attracting deposits and originating loans. Our most direct competition for deposits historically has come from the many financial institutions operating in our market area, including commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions, and, to a lesser extent, from other financial service companies, such as brokerage firms and insurance companies. The Bank is subject to regulations of certain state and federal agencies, and accordingly, the Bank is periodically examined by such regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the regulation of commercial banking activities, the Bank’s business is particularly susceptible to future state and federal legislation and regulations.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation: The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”).

We have prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cape Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations. The consolidated financial statements, as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, all accounting entries and adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been made. Events occurring subsequent to the date of the balance sheet have been evaluated for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements through the date of the filing of the consolidated financial statements with the SEC.

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, deferred taxes, evaluation of investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, overnight deposits, federal funds sold and interest-bearing bank balances. The Federal Reserve Bank required reserves of $760,000 as of September 30, 2014, and $732,000 as of December 31, 2013 are included in these balances.

Interest-Bearing Time Deposits:Interest-bearing time deposits are held to maturity, are carried at cost and have original maturities greater than three months.

Investment Securities:The Bank classifies investment securities as either available-for-sale (“AFS”) or held-to-maturity (“HTM”). Investment securities classified as AFS are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of equity, net of related income tax effects. Investment securities classified as HTM are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount over the term of the related investments, using the level yield method. Investment securities are classified as HTM when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. In March 2014, the Bank reclassified a portion of the AFS securities as HTM, as these securities may be particularly susceptible to changes in fair value in the near term as a result of market volatility. Gains and losses on sales of investment securities are recognized upon realization utilizing the specific identification method.

When the fair value of a debt security has declined below the amortized cost at the measurement date, if an entity intends to sell a security or is more likely than not to sell the security before the recovery of the security’s cost basis, the entity must recognize the other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) in earnings. For a debt security with a fair value below the amortized cost at the measurement date where it is more likely than not that an entity will not sell the security before the recovery of its cost basis, but an entity does not expect to recover the entire cost basis of the security, the security is classified as OTTI. The related OTTI loss on the debt security will be recognized in earnings to the extent of the credit losses, with the remaining impairment loss recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. In estimating OTTI losses, management considers: the length of time and extent that fair value of the security has been less than the cost of the security, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, cash flow, stress testing analysis on securities, when applicable, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Loans Held for Sale (“HFS”): HFS consists of residential mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market and, from time to time, certain loans transferred from the loan portfolio to HFS, all of which are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair market value. The fair value of residential mortgage loans is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data. The fair values of loans transferred from the loan portfolio to HFS are based on the amounts offered for these loans in currently pending sales transactions or as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Write-downs on loans transferred to HFS are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent declines in fair value, if any, are charged to operating income and the HFS balance is reduced. Gains and losses on sales of loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loans sold. At September 30, 2014, there were no residential mortgages classified as HFS as the Bank exited the residential mortgage loan origination business effective December 31, 2013.

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and reduced by an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations based upon the principal amounts outstanding. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loans as an adjustment to the yield on loans receivable in a manner which approximates the interest method. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. The allowance for loan losses is comprised of both loan pool valuation allowances and individual valuation allowances. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely.

Recognition of interest income is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, the collectability of the loan becomes doubtful. A commercial loan is classified as non-accrual when the loan is 90 days or more delinquent, or when in the opinion of management, the collectability of such loan is in doubt. Consumer and residential loans are classified as non-accrual when the loan is 90 days or more delinquent with a loan to value ratio greater than 60 percent.

All interest accrued, but not received, for loans placed on non-accrual, is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for as a reduction of the principal balance until qualifying for return to accrual. Commercial loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Payments are generally applied to reduce the principal balance but, in certain situations, the application of payments may vary. Consumer and residential loans are returned to accrual status when their delinquency becomes less than 90 days and/or the loan to value ratio is less than 60 percent.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount management deems appropriate to cover probable incurred losses. In determining the level to be maintained, management evaluates many factors including historical loss experience, the borrowers’ ability to repay and repayment performance, current economic trends, estimated collateral values, industry experience, industry loan concentrations, changes in loan policies and procedures, changes in loan volume, delinquency and troubled asset trends, loan management and personnel, internal and external loan review, total credit exposure of the individual or entity, and external factors including competition, legal, regulatory and seasonal factors. In the opinion of management, the allowance is appropriate to absorb probable loan losses. While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. Charge-offs to the allowance are made when the loan is transferred to other real estate owned or a determination of loss is made.

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Included in the Company’s loan portfolio are modified loans. Per the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 310-40, “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors” (“FASB ASC 310-40”), a loan restructuring is one in which the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that the creditor would not otherwise consider, such as providing for a below market interest rate and/or forgiving principal or previously accrued interest. This restructuring may stem from an agreement or may be imposed by law, and may involve a multiple note structure. Prior to the restructuring, if the loans which are modified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) are already classified as non-accrual, these loans may only be returned to performing (i.e. accrual status) after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable amount of time, generally six months. This sustained repayment performance may include the period of time just prior to the restructuring. At September 30, 2014, TDRs totaled $5.7 million, of which $4.8 million were accruing TDRs and $917,000 were non-accruing TDRs. This compares to $4.3 million of TDRs at December 31, 2013, of which $3.4 million were accruing TDRs and $881,000 were non-accruing TDRs.(See Note 4 – Loans Receivable).

In determining an appropriate amount for the allowance, the Bank segments and evaluates the loan portfolio based on collateral. The following portfolio classes have been identified:

Commercial Secured by Real Estate: Commercial real estate properties primarily include office and medical buildings, retail space, restaurants, multifamily and warehouse or flex space. Some properties are considered “mixed use” as they are a combination of building types, such as an apartment building that may also have retail space. Multifamily loans are expected to be repaid from the cash flow of the underlying property so the collective amount of rents must be sufficient to cover all operating expenses, property management and maintenance, taxes and debt service. Increases in vacancy rates, interest rates or other changes in general economic conditions can all have an impact on the borrower and their ability to repay the loan. Commercial real estate loans are generally considered to have a higher degree of credit risk than multifamily loans as they may be dependent on the ongoing success and operating viability of a fewer number of tenants who are occupying the property and who may have a greater degree of exposure to economic conditions.

Commercial Term Loans: Commercial term loans are term loans to operating companies for business purposes. These loans are generally secured by real estate or business assets such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. These loans are typically repaid first by the cash flow generated by the borrower’s business operation. The primary risk characteristics are specific to the underlying business and its ability to generate sustainable profitability and resulting positive cash flow. Factors that may influence a business’s profitability include, but are not limited to, demand for its products or services, quality and depth of management, degree of competition, regulatory changes, and general economic conditions. Commercial term and lines of credit loans are generally secured by business assets; however, the ability of the Bank to foreclose and realize sufficient value from the assets is often highly uncertain.

Construction:Construction loans are granted to experienced and reputable local builders and developers that have the capital and liquidity to carry a project to completion and stabilization. Construction loans are considered riskier than commercial financing on improved and established commercial real estate and loans for the purchase of existing residential properties. The risk of potential loss increases if the original cost estimates or estimated time to complete the project vary significantly from the actual costs or length of time in which the project was completed.

Other Commercial: The Bank provides commercial lines of credit loans to operating companies for business purposes. The loans are generally secured by business assets such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. These loans are typically repaid first by the cash flow generated by the borrower’s business operation. The primary risk characteristics are specific to the underlying business and its ability to generate sustainable profitability and resulting positive cash flow. Factors that may influence a business’s profitability include, but are not limited to, demand for its products or services, quality and depth of management, degree of competition, regulatory changes, and general economic conditions. Commercial lines of credit loans are generally secured by business assets; however, the ability of the Bank to foreclose and realize sufficient value from the assets is often highly uncertain.

Residential Mortgage:Effective December 31, 2013, the Bank exited the residential mortgage loan origination business. Prior to December 31, 2013, the Bank originated one-to-four family residential mortgage loans within or near its primary geographic market area. The mortgage loans are secured by first liens on the primary residence or investment property. Primary risk characteristics associated with residential mortgage loans typically involve major living or lifestyle changes to the borrower, including unemployment or other loss of income; unexpected significant expenses, such as for major medical issues or catastrophic events; divorce or death. In addition, residential mortgage loans that have adjustable rates could expose the borrower to higher debt service requirements in a rising interest rate environment. Further, real estate values could drop significantly and cause the value of the property to fall below the loan amount, creating additional potential exposure for the Bank.

Home Equity & Lines of Credit: The Bank provides home equity loans and lines of credit in the form of amortizing home equity loans or revolving home equity lines of credit against one-to-four family residences within or near its primary geographic market. Primary risk characteristics associated with home equity lines of credit typically involve major living or lifestyle changes to the borrower, including unemployment or other loss of income; unexpected significant expenses, such as for major medical issues or catastrophic events; divorce or death. In addition, home equity lines of credit typically are made with variable or floating interest rates, such as the Prime Rate, which could expose the borrower to higher debt service requirements in a rising interest rate environment. Further, real estate values could drop significantly and cause the value of the property to fall below the loan amount, creating additional potential exposure for the Bank.

Other Consumer: These are loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures. This also represents all other loans that cannot be categorized in any of the previous mentioned loan segments.

Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”): Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned and is initially recorded at the estimated fair market value, less the estimated cost to sell, at the date of foreclosure, thereby establishing a new cost basis. If the fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, an OREO write-down is recorded through expense and the OREO balance is lowered to reflect the current fair value. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 10 to 39 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line (or accelerated) method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years.

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB”) Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB of New York. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Cash dividends are reported as income.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. As part of its asset/liability management strategies, the Bank uses interest rate swaps to hedge variability in future cash flows caused by changes in interest rates. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income or loss and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. We formally document our risk management objectives, strategy, and the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item. We evaluate the effectiveness of the hedge relationship, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, by comparing the changes in the cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in the cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. Derivatives not designated as hedges do not meet the hedge accounting requirements under U.S. GAAP.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified. The annual goodwill assessment for 2014 will be performed in the fourth quarter. In the interim, the Company will continue to evaluate goodwill on a quarterly basis utilizing the methodology required for an annual goodwill assessment.

Other intangible assets consist of core deposit and acquired customer relationship intangible assets arising from whole bank acquisitions. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 13 years. Other intangible assets also include loan servicing rights which are amortized on the level yield method over the life of the loan. Other intangible assets are assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified.

Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”): The Bank has an investment in bank owned life insurance. BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Bank on a chosen group of employees and directors. The Bank is the owner and beneficiary of the policies and in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 325, “Investments in Insurance Contracts”, the amount recorded is the cash surrender value, which is the amount realizable.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Defined Benefit Plan:The Bank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (The “Pentegra DB Plan”), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan. The Pentegra DB Plan’s Employer Identification Number is 13-5645888, and the Plan Number is 333. The Pentegra DB Plan operates as a multi-employer plan for accounting purposes and as a multiple-employer plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. There are no collective bargaining agreements in place that require contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan.

The plan was amended to freeze participation to new employees commencing January 1, 2008. Employees who became eligible to participate prior to January 1, 2008, will continue to accrue a benefit under the plan. The Bank accrues pension costs as incurred. The plan was further amended to freeze benefits as of December 31, 2008 for all employees eligible to participate prior to January 1, 2008.

401(k) Plan: The Bank maintains a tax-qualified defined contribution plan for all salaried employees of Cape Bank who have satisfied the 401(k) Plan’s eligibility requirements. Effective January 1, 2012, the Bank eliminated the matching contribution formula and replaced it with a discretionary form of matching contribution.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”): The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet earned is shown as a reduction of equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares are used to reduce the annual ESOP debt service. As of September 30, 2014, 206,145 shares have been allocated to eligible participants in the Cape Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

Stock Benefit Plan:The Company has an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Stock Benefit Plan”) under which incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs) and restricted stock awards (RSAs) may be granted periodically to certain employees and directors. The fair value of the restricted stock is the market value of the stock on the date of grant. Under the fair value method of accounting for stock options, the fair value is measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market assumptions. This amount is amortized as salaries and employee benefits expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility, which, if changed, can significantly affect fair value estimates.

Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 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 and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The principal types of accounts resulting in differences between assets and liabilities for financial statement and tax purposes are the allowance for loan losses, deferred compensation, deferred loan fees, charitable contributions, depreciation and OTTI charges. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded against net deferred tax assets when management has concluded that it is not more likely than not that a portion or all will be realized. Management considers several factors in determining whether a portion, or all, of the valuation allowance should be reversed such as the level of historical taxable income, projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible and tax planning strategies.

Under FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, included in FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10—Income Taxes—Overall, the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as non-interest expense.

Earnings Per Share:Basic earnings per common share is the net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. ESOP shares are not considered outstanding for this calculation unless earned. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock option and restricted stock awards, if any.

Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income as well as certain other items which result in a change to equity during the period. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale which are also recognized as separate components of equity and unrealized holding gains and losses arising during the period on interest rate swaps. See theConsolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Operating Segments:While the chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Operating segments are aggregated into one as operating results for all segments are similar. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Treasury Stock:Stock held in the treasury by the Company is accounted for using the cost method, which treats stock held in treasury as a reduction to total stockholders’ equity. As shares of treasury stock are reissued to satisfy stock option exercises, the shares are issued using the average cost basis of the shares in the treasury at the time of issuance.

On April 18, 2013, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan under which the Company would repurchase up to 5%, or approximately 667,239 shares, of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. The repurchase was completed on July 16, 2013. Furthermore, on July 19, 2013, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized a second repurchase program for the repurchase of up to 5%, or approximately 633,877 shares, of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. The second repurchase plan was completed on October 3, 2013. On December 23, 2013, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized a third stock repurchase plan under which the Company would repurchase up to 5%, or approximately 602,989 shares, of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. The third repurchase plan has been completed. The average repurchase price for the three stock repurchase plans was $9.67 per share.

Effect of Newly Issued Accounting Standards: In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04 “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The amendments in ASU 2014-04 are intended to reduce diversity in practice by clarifying when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor such as the Bank should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. Additionally, the amendments in ASU 2014-04 require interim and annual disclosure of both the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by a creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. For public entities, such as the Company, the amendments are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption in 2014 is permitted. ASU 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In July 2013, the FASB issues ASU No. 2013-10, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Federal Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (a consensus) of the FASB emerging Issues Task Force). The guidance permits the Federal Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The Company adopted this guidance on May 2, 2014 with no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Proceeds from sales of securities available for sale totaled $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. There were no sales of securities for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $8.0 million and $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross gains of $133,000 were realized on security sales during the three months ended September 30, 2014. Gross gains of $2.1 million and $290,000 were realized on security sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Proceeds from security calls, maturities, and return of principal were $8.9 million and $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Proceeds from security calls, maturities, and return of principal were $20.4 million and $34.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Securities having a fair value of approximately $82.4 million and $50.6 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings. The Bank did not hold any trading securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, or during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.

On March 3, 2014, $7.6 million of agency debt securities were transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity at fair value which the Bank has the ability and positive intent to hold to maturity. These securities may be particularly susceptible to changes in fair value in the near term as a result of market volatility.Additionally, the Bank expects to recover the recorded investment and thus realize no gains or losses when the issuer pays the amount promised through maturity. Each transfer was done at fair value and any previously unrealized gain or loss will be amortized or accreted to investment securities in the consolidated statements of operation. The unrealized holding gain or loss at March 3, 2014 related to this transfer, will continue to be reported in a separate component of shareholders equity and will be amortized or accreted over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of any premium or discount, and will result in no net effect to the investment yield. These securities had gross unrealized losses at the time of transfer of $377,000, of which $276,000 was in a loss position for less than 12 months. These securities had net unrealized losses of $377,000 at March 3, 2014.

The table below indicates the length of time individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at September 30, 2014:

Management evaluates investment securities to determine if they are OTTI on at least a quarterly basis. The evaluation process applied to each security includes, but is not limited to, the following factors: whether the security is performing according to its contractual terms, determining if there has been an adverse change in the expected cash flows for investments within the scope of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 325, “Investments Other”, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, whether the Company intends to sell, or would more likely than not be required to sell an impaired debt security before a recovery of its amortized cost basis, credit rating downgrades, the percentage of performing collateral that would need to default or defer to cause a break in yield and/or a temporary interest shortfall, and a review of the underlying issuers. Additionally, and consistent with FDIC regulations, management, prior to acquiring and periodically thereafter, evaluates various factors of corporate securities that may include but is not limited to the following; evaluate that the risk of default is low and consistent with bonds of similar quality, evaluate the capacity to pay, understand applicable market demographics/economics and understand current levels and trends in operating margins, operating efficiency, profitability, return on assets and return on equity.

At September 30, 2014, the Company’s investment securities portfolio consisted of 255 securities, 108 of which were in an unrealized loss position. The securities consist of investments that are backed by the U.S. Government or U.S. sponsored agencies which the government has affirmed its commitment to support, and municipal obligations which had unrealized losses that were caused by changing credit spreads in the market as a result of the current economic environment. Because the Company has no intention to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities, the Company does not consider these investments to be OTTI.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our investment securities for OTTI. As required by FASB ASC Topic No. 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities,” if we do not intend to sell a debt security, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security, an OTTI write-down is separated into a credit loss portion and a portion related to all other factors. The credit loss portion is recognized in earnings as net OTTI losses, and the portion related to all other factors is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The credit loss portion is defined as the difference between the amortized cost of the security and the present value of the expected future cash flows for the security. If the intent is to sell a debt security or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security, then the security is written down to its fair market value as a net OTTI loss in earnings. The Company has evaluated these securities and determined that the decreases in estimated fair value are temporary. The Company’s estimate of projected cash flows it expected to receive was more than the securities’ carrying value, resulting in no impairment charge to earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

In December 2013, prompted by the “Volcker Rule”, the Company sold a portion of its portfolio of bank and insurance trust preferred collateral debt obligation (“CDO”) securities that had a cost basis greater than zero. The sale of these securities resulted in net securities losses totaling $851,000 which was reported in gains and losses on the sale of securities in the year 2013. On February 27, 2014, the Company sold its remaining portion of CDOs having a zero book balance which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $1.9 million.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt, equity and mortgage-backed securities available for sale at September 30, 2014, by contractual maturities, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Bank transferred $5.3 million of classified commercial loans to loans held for sale. The loans were written-down $1.8 million to the value of the collateral supporting the loans, as the Bank was pursuing the sale of these assets. These assets were sold during the second quarter and, as a result, the Bank recorded an additional $16,000 write-down on these assets in the second quarter.

At September 30, 2014, non-performing loans had a principal balance of $7.7 million compared to $7.3 million at December 31, 2013. Loan balances past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, but which management expects will eventually be paid in full, amounted to approximately $429,000 at September 30, 2014 and $458,000 at December 31, 2013.

Impaired loans include loans whose contractual terms have been restructured in a manner that grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance (FASB ASC 310-40), these modified loans are considered TDRs. See Note 2of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statementsfor further information regarding TDRs.

The defaults that occurred during the periods presented did not have significant impact on the allowance for loan losses. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in the full collection of principal and interest, as modified, and may result in potential incremental losses. These potential incremental losses have been factored into our overall allowance for loan losses estimate. The level of any re-defaults will likely be affected by future economic conditions. Once a loan becomes a TDR, it will continue to be reported as a TDR until it is repaid in full, reclassified to loans held for sale, foreclosed, sold or it meets the criteria to be removed from TDR status. Included in the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was an impairment reserve for TDRs in the amount of $196,000 and $127,000, respectively. At September 30, 2014, there are no commitments to extend additional funds to loans that are TDRs.

The Company categorizes loans, when the loan is initially underwritten, into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt. The assessment considers numerous factors including, but not limited to, current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. Annually, this analysis includes all commercial loans with an outstanding balance greater than $250,000. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Risk Rating 1-5—Acceptable credit quality ranging from High Pass (cash or near cash as collateral) to Management Attention/Pass (acceptable risk) with some deficiency in one or more of the following areas: management experience, debt service coverage levels, balance sheet leverage, earnings trends, the industry of the borrower and annual receipt of current borrower financial information.

Risk Rating 6— Special Mention reflects loans that management believes warrant special consideration and may be loans that are delinquent or current in their payments. These loans have potential weakness which increases their risk to the bank and have shown some signs of weakness but have fallen short of being a Substandard loan.

Management believes that the Substandard category is best considered in four discrete classes: RR 7; RR 8; RR 9; and RR 10.

Risk Rating 7—The class is mostly populated by customers that have a history of repayment (less than 2 delinquencies in the past year) but exhibit a well-defined weakness.

Risk Rating 8—These are loans that share many of the characteristics of the RR 7 loans as they relate to cash flow and/or collateral, but have the further negative of chronic delinquencies. These loans have not yet declined in quality to require a FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables analysis, but nonetheless this class has a greater likelihood of migration to a more negative risk rating.

Risk Rating 9—These loans are impaired loans, are current and accruing, and in some cases are TDRs. They have had a FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables analysis completed.

Risk Rating 10—These loans have undergone a FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables analysis and are on non-accrual status. For those that have a FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables analysis, no general reserve is allowed. More often than not, those loans in this class with specific reserves have had the reserve placed by Management pending information to complete a FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables analysis. Upon completion of the FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables analysis reserves are adjusted or charged-off.

For homogeneous loan pools, such as residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit and term loans, and other consumer loans, the Company uses payment status to identify the credit risk in these loan portfolios. Payment status is monitored by the Bank’s lending officers utilizing daily delinquency reports. On a monthly basis, with respect to determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses management reviews a month-end delinquency report for all loans, regardless of loan amount. The payment status of these homogeneous pools at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is included in the aging of the recorded investment of past due loans table. In addition, the total non-performing portion of these homogeneous loan pools at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is presented in the recorded investment in nonaccrual loans.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE

FASB ASC Topic No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Fair value measurement of securities available for sale is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are generally measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques that include market inputs, such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data and industry and economic events. Level 1 securities include an investment fund that is traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. Level 2 securities include securities issued by government sponsored agencies, securities issued by certain state and political subdivisions, residential mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and corporate bonds.

(1)	Includes non-accrual loans, loans delinquent greater than 90 days and still accruing, loans less than 90 days delinquent and still accruing and troubled debt restructured loans.

At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. This value is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments may relate to location, square footage, condition, amenities, market rate of leases, if any, as well as the timing of comparable sales. The fair value of the loan is compared to the carrying value to determine if any write-down or specific reserve is required. On a quarterly basis, impaired loans are evaluated for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. Because the Company has a small amount of impaired loans and OREO measured at fair value, the impact of unobservable inputs on the Company’s financial statements is not material.

On an annual basis, management compares the actual selling price of any collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at the fair value for other properties. The most recent analysis performed indicated that a discount up to 7 percent should be applied to appraisals on properties. The discount is determined based on the nature of the underlying properties, aging of appraisal and other factors.

Fair valued impaired loans at September 30, 2014, had a carrying value of $3.2 million. There was no valuation allowance associated with these impaired loans. At December 31, 2013, fair value impaired loans had a carrying value of $3.5 million which were net of a valuation allowance of $119,000. These balances do not include $4.8 million and $3.4 million of impaired loans at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, that are measured using the discounted cash flow method and are not collateral dependent.

Other real estate owned properties are recorded at the estimated fair market value, less the estimated cost to sell, at the date of foreclosure. Fair market value is estimated by using professional real estate appraisals subject to similar adjustments previously mentioned and may be subsequently adjusted based upon real estate broker opinions. Often these values are based on contract of sale or offers, which could result in a Level 2 assignment.

As discussed above, the fair value of impaired loans and other real estate owned is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which may include Level 3 inputs that are not identifiable.

The following disclosure of estimated fair value amounts has been determined by the Bank using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Noninterest-bearing cash and cash equivalents and noninterest-bearing deposit liabilities are classified as Level 1, whereas interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposit liabilities are classified as Level 2. Accrued interest receivable and payable are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3 based on the classification level of the asset or liability with which the accrued interest is associated.

Loans held for sale — The fair value of residential mortgage loans is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data. The fair value is equal to the carrying value, since the time from when a loan is closed and settled is generally not more than two weeks. The fair value of loans transferred from the loan portfolio is based on the amounts offered for these loans in currently pending sales transactions, outstanding commitments from investors, or current market valuation appraisals. Loans held for sale are not included in non-performing loans.

Loans — The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. The fair values of loans not impaired is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the Company’s interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality which is not an exit price under FASB ASC Topic No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The carrying value and fair value of loans include the allowance for loan losses.

FHLB stock — It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on transferability.

Deposits — The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as money market deposit accounts, checking accounts and savings accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate currently offered by the Company for deposits of similar size, type and maturity.

Borrowings — The fair value of borrowings, which includes Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances and securities sold under agreement to repurchase, is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate currently offered for borrowings of similar maturity and terms.

Derivatives — The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap was estimated using Level 2 inputs. The fair value was determined using third party prices that are based on discounted cash flow analyses using observed market interest rate curves and volatilities.

The Company’s unused loan commitments, standby letters of credit and undisbursed loans have no carrying amount and have been estimated to have no realizable fair value. Historically, a majority of the unused loan commitments have not been drawn upon.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2014. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

NOTE 8 – BORROWINGS

The Bank’s FHLB borrowings totaled $122.1 million and $134.0 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and repurchase agreements totaled $9.9 million for both periods.

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Bank is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is interest rate risk. An interest rate swap was entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Bank’s variable rate borrowings. The interest rate swap on the variable rate borrowing was designated as a cash flow hedge and was a negotiated over the counter contract. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income or loss and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The unrealized holding loss on the interest rate swap was $85,000 and $364,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.There was no reclassification from other comprehensive to interest income nor the ineffective portion through non-interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The contract was entered into by the Bank with a counterparty, and the specific agreement of terms were negotiated, including the amount, the interest rate, and the maturity.

The Bank is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the agreements. The Bank controls the credit risk through monitoring procedures and does not expect the counterparty to fail their obligations. The Bank only deals with primary dealers and believes that the credit risk inherent in this contract was not significant during and at period end.

At September 30, 2014, the Bank had a forecasted interest rate swap agreement to receive from the counterparty at 1 month LIBOR and to pay interest to the counterparty at a fixed rate of 3.368% on a notional amount of $19.0 million. The effective date of the transaction is May 17, 2017 and the maturity date is May 17, 2023. Beginning May 17, 2014, for the first three years, no cash flows will be exchanged and for the following seven years the Bank will pay a fixed interest rate of 3.368% and the counterparty will pay the Bank 1 month LIBOR. The hedging strategy converts the LIBOR based floating interest on a certain FHLB advance to a fixed interest rate, thereby protecting the Bank from floating interest rate variability. The following table presents information regarding our derivative financial instrument at September 30, 2014. The Bank had no derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2013.

Overview

Cape Bancorp, Inc. (“Cape Bancorp” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that was incorporated on September 14, 2007 for the purpose of becoming the holding company of Cape Bank (the “Bank”).

Cape Bank is a New Jersey chartered savings bank originally founded in 1923. We are a community bank focused on providing deposit and loan products to retail customers and to small and mid-sized businesses from fourteen full service branch offices located in Atlantic and Cape May Counties, New Jersey, including our main office located at 225 North Main Street, Cape May Court House, New Jersey 08210, one drive-up teller/ATM operation in Atlantic County and our two market development offices (“MDOs”) located in Burlington County, New Jersey and in Radnor, Pennsylvania, which serves the five county Philadelphia market area. We attract deposits from the general public and use those funds to originate a variety of loans, including commercial mortgages, commercial business loans, residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit (“HELOC”) and construction loans. Effective December 31, 2013, the Company exited the residential mortgage loan origination business which will allow for more resources to be focused on commercial lending. Our retail and business banking deposit products include checking accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit with terms ranging from 30 days to 84 months.

On September 10, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger to acquire Colonial Financial Services, Inc. (“Colonial”), the parent company of Colonial Bank, FSB. The transaction is subject to receipt of Colonial shareholder approval, Cape Bancorp shareholder approval and customary regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2015. For additional information on the pending acquisition of Colonial, please refer to the Company’s Form 8K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 11, 2014.

At September 30, 2014, the Company had total assets of $1.082 billion compared to $1.093 billion at December 31, 2013. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had total revenues (interest income plus non-interest income) of $11.5 million and $12.5 million, respectively.

The Company’s Adversely Classified Asset Ratio (Classified Assets/Tier I Capital plus the allowance for loan losses) at September 30, 2014 was 16%, a significant improvement from 26% at December 31, 2013. Non-performing assets (non-performing loans, other real estate owned and non-accruing investment securities) as a percentage of total assets decreased to 1.20% at September 30, 2014 from 1.35% at December 31, 2013. For the periods ended, and as of, September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, loans held for sale (“HFS”) are excluded from delinquencies, non-performing loans, non-performing assets, impaired loans and all related ratio calculations. The ratio of our allowance for loan losses to total gross loans increased to 1.25% at September 30, 2014, from 1.18% at December 31, 2013, while the ratio of our allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 127.00% at September 30, 2014 compared to 127.05% at December 31, 2013. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, loan charge-offs totaled $103,000 compared to loan charge-offs of $286,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Of the $103,000 of loan charge-offs during the third quarter of 2014, none of these were fully reserved for as of December 31, 2013. Our total loan portfolio decreased from $789.5 million at December 31, 2013 to $782.2 million at September 30, 2014 resulting from a decrease in residential mortgage loans totaling $15.0 million, partially offset by increases in commercial loans of $7.2 million and consumer loans of $560,000. Commercial loan closings during the first nine months of 2014 more than offset the transfer of $5.3 million of classified commercial loans to loans held for sale, charge-offs and write-downs of loans transferred to loans held for sale totaling $2.3 million, normal amortizations, and several large early payoffs (including the payoff of a $6.5 million classified loan relationship). The decline in residential mortgage loans reflects the effect of the Company exiting the residential mortgage loan origination business effective December 31, 2013. At September 30, 2014, 91.6% of our loan portfolio was secured by real estate and 63.0% of our portfolio was commercial related loans. We believe our existing loan underwriting practices are appropriate in the current market environment while continuing to address the local credit needs of our customers.

Total deposits increased $2.5 million from $798.4 million at December 31, 2013 to $800.9 million at September 30, 2014 primarily resulting from increases of $13.8 million in interest-bearing checking accounts and $9.5 million in non-interest bearing checking accounts partially offset by an $11.4 million decrease in certificates of deposit, a decrease in money market accounts of $5.0 million and a $3.3 million decrease in savings accounts. We also maintain an investment portfolio.

Our principal business is acquiring deposits from individuals and businesses in the communities surrounding our offices and using these deposits to fund loans and other investments. We currently offer personal and business checking accounts, commercial mortgage loans, construction loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and other types of commercial loans.

2014 Outlook

Our market area has been affected by the recession and the modest recovery. Unemployment in Atlantic and Cape May County was 9.3% and 6.3%, respectively, as of August 2014, an improvement from 2013 levels of 11.1% and 8.0%, respectively. The number of residential building permits issued and values decreased in both Atlantic and Cape May County from August 2013 to August 2014.Median sale prices of single-family homes sold during the twelve month periods ended September 2014 and 2013 increased 9.6% in Cape May County while Atlantic County decreased 4.8%. The number of homes sold during those same periods increased 1.7% for Cape May County, but decreased 3.6% for Atlantic County. The number of new listings increased 16.5% in Atlantic County and 1.6% in Cape May County.

During 2013, and continuing through the third quarter of 2014, Cape Bank was able to make significant strides in reducing non-performing assets and classified items. Many troubled credits finally made their way through the slow foreclosure process, permitting the bank to take title and sell the collateral. This helped reduce non-earning assets and the costs relating to problem loans. Management intends to continue these efforts for the remainder of 2014 with the goal of reducing classified items to levels that would fall more within industry norms.

Management believes that more effort needs to be placed on expense control. In this regard, if management is successful in reducing troubled credits as planned, there will be a corresponding reduction in the costs related to these loans as they work through the foreclosure process.

During the remainder of 2014, Cape Bank will continue to focus on the following initiatives:

•

Core deposit gathering, both retail and commercial

•

Continue building commercial loan relationships

•

Continue efforts to effectively manage the Bank’s capital

•

Build core earnings

•

Continue efforts to reduce non-performing assets

•

Effectively utilize new core processors functionality with an emphasis on digital delivery

•

Continue preparing for the Colonial acquisition

Core deposit gathering, both retail and commercial:

The Company recognizes the value associated with strong core deposits and has built company-wide incentive programs to achieve this initiative. Both retail and commercial deposits will be focused on through advertising, branch programs, commercial loan calling officers and digital media. Deposit products will be designed to attract new deposit customers and retain existing ones.

Continue building commercial loan relationships:

Cape Bank has had good success in building strong commercial loan relationships during the past several years. This has been the result of building a seasoned group of professional and knowledgeable staff combined with market driven products. The Company’s expansion into Burlington County in 2010 and the Philadelphia metro market in 2013 has produced better than anticipated results. In the third quarter of 2014, we created a Commercial Real Estate lending team operating out of our Radnor MDO primarily serving the Philadelphia metro market. Efforts will be made to continue to attract quality commercial lending staff as well as maximizing the efforts of the existing staff, while remaining flexible with product structure to adapt to market conditions.

Continue efforts to effectively manage the Company’s capital:

Despite the Company’s problems with credit since the recession, we were able to maintain a strong capital position. With troubled assets posing a reduced concern, the Company reassessed the level of capital and believed a continued active management of capital would be appropriate. The Company began paying a quarterly cash dividend in the fourth quarter of 2012 and increased that dividend from $.05 per share to $.06 per share in the fourth quarter of 2013. Additionally, during 2013, the Company completed two 5% stock buyback programs and announced a third 5% buyback program in December 2013. On September 2, 2014, the third stock buyback program was completed. The average repurchase price for the three stock buyback programs was $9.67 per share.

On January 20, 2014, the Company declared a $0.06 per common share cash dividend to shareholders of record on February 3, 2014. The dividend was paid on February 17, 2014. On April 28, 2014, the Company declared a $0.06 per common share cash dividend to shareholders of record on May 12, 2014. The dividend was paid on May 26, 2014. On July 21, 2014, the Company declared a $0.06 per share cash dividend to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 8, 2014. The dividend was paid on August 18, 2014. And, on October 20, 2014, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per common share to shareholders of record as of the close of business November 3, 2014. The dividend is expected to be paid on or about November 18, 2014.

Build core earnings:

During the economic downturn, Bank values were often a reflection of the perceived adequacy of equity often through the metric of tangible book value. Uncertainty with the economy in general, and with credit in particular, made capital a handy heuristic to gauge the soundness of a Bank.

These macro concerns have been receding as more institutions have gotten on sounder footing. As a result, valuations have begun to focus on earnings as a driver of value. In particular, core earnings are becoming an increasingly important metric.

Management recognizes this development and has made growth in core earnings an integral part of the 2014 Strategic Plan.

Continue efforts to reduce non-performing assets:

Management was able to reduce the level of non-performing assets during 2013 and through the third quarter of 2014 and believes that continued efforts to reduce them further will provide value to the shareholders. Several of the larger troubled credits have moved to OREO as the Bank attempts to move these properties promptly. This area will continue to receive attention during the remainder of 2014.

Effectively utilize new core processors functionality with an emphasis on digital delivery:

The Bank made a smooth transition to our new core processor, FISERV, in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Bank believes that customers are requiring access to, and communication from, their financial service providers through a multitude of both physical and electronic delivery channels. During the remainder of 2014, the Bank will continue to maximize its opportunities to provide products and services via multiple delivery channels offered through FISERV and other available sources.

Continue preparing for the Colonial acquisition:

Management expects that merger teams will spend much of the remainder of the year planning for the pending acquisition of Colonial and the subsequent core system integration. The transaction is subject to receipt of Colonial shareholder approval, Cape Bancorp shareholder approval and customary regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2015.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013

At September 30, 2014, the Company’s total assets were $1.082 billion, a decrease of $11.1 million, or 0.11%, from the December 31, 2013 level of $1.093 billion.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $6.4million, or 25.45%, to $18.5 million at September 30, 2014 from $24.9 million at December 31, 2013.

Interest-bearing time deposits increased $355,000, or 3.86%, from $9.2 million at December 31, 2013 to $9.5 million at September 30, 2014. The Company invests in time deposits of other banks generally for terms of one year to five years and not to exceed $250,000, which is the amount currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Total loans decreased to $782.2 million at September 30, 2014 from $789.5 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $7.3 million, or 0.92%. Net loans decreased $7.7 million, net of an increase in the allowance for loan losses of $469,000, resulting from decreases in residential mortgage loans totaling $15.0 million, partially offset by increases in commercial loans of $7.2 million and consumer loans of $560,000. Commercial loan closings during the first nine months more than offset the transfer of $5.3 million of classified commercial loans to loans held for sale, charge-offs and write-downs of loans transferred to loans held for sale totaling $2.3 million, normal amortizations, and several large early payoffs, including the payoff of a $6.5 million classified loan relationship in the first quarter. The decline in residential mortgage loans reflects the effect of the Company exiting the residential mortgage loan origination business effective December 31, 2013. Delinquent loans increased $1.4 million to $11.2 million, or 1.43% of total gross loans, at September 30, 2014 from $9.8 million, or 1.24% of total gross loans at December 31, 2013. Total delinquent loans by portfolio at September 30, 2014 were $7.9 million of commercial mortgage and $303,000 commercial business loans, $2.2 million of residential mortgage loans and $844,000 of home equity loans. At September 30, 2014, delinquent loan balances by number of days delinquent were: 31 to 59 days – $2.8 million; 60 to 89 days – $1.2 million; and 90 days and greater – $7.2 million.

At September 30, 2014, the Company had $7.7 million in non-performing loans, or0.99% of total gross loans, an increase of $373,000 from $7.3 million, or 0.93% of total gross loans at December 31, 2013. Non-performing loans do not include loans held for sale.Loans held for sale included $1.6 million of loans that were on non-accrual status at December 31, 2013. There were no loans held for sale at September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, non-performing loans by loan portfolio category were as follows: $6.0 million of commercial loans, $867,000 of residential mortgage loans, $303,000 of commercial business loans and $546,000 of consumer loans. Of these stated delinquencies, the Company had $429,000 of loans that were 90 days or more delinquent and still accruing (5 residential mortgage loans for $328,000 and 4 consumer loans for $101,000). These loans are well secured, in the process of collection and we anticipate no losses will be incurred.

At September 30, 2014, commercial non-performing loans had collateral type concentrations of $440,000 (2 loans or 7%) secured by commercial buildings and equipment, $916,000 (6 loans or 15%) secured by residential related commercial loans, $1.0 million (3 loans or 16%) secured by restaurant properties, $759,000 (3 loans or 12%) secured by land and building lots, and $3.2 million (6 loans or 50%) secured by retail stores. The three largest commercial non-performing loan relationships are $1.8 million, $710,000 and $666,000.

We believe we have appropriately charged-off, written-down or established adequate loss reserves on problem loans that we have identified. For the remainder of 2014, we anticipate problem assets to remain relatively unchanged. We are aggressively managing all loan relationships, and where necessary, we will continue to apply our loan work-out experience to protect our collateral position and actively negotiate with mortgagors to resolve these non-performing loans.

Total investment securities increased $8.8 million, or 5.30%, to $175.1 million at September 30, 2014 from $166.3 million at December 31, 2013. At September 30, 2014, AFS securities totaled $157.3 million and HTM securities totaled $17.8 million. At December 31, 2013, AFS securities totaled $157.2 million and HTM securities totaled $9.1 million. Investment securities are classified as HTM when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. In March 2014, the Bank reclassified $7.6 million of its AFS securities as HTM, as these securities may be particularly susceptible to changes in fair value in the near term, as a result of market volatility. On February 27, 2014, the Company sold its remaining portion of collateralized debt obligation securities (“CDOs”) with a book value of zero, resulting in $1.9 million gain.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) decreased $2.1 million from $7.4 million at December 31, 2013 to $5.3 million at September 30, 2014, and consisted at September 30, 2014 of nine commercial properties and nine residential properties (including five building lots). During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company added one commercial property and two residential properties to OREO with an aggregate carrying value of $1.6 million. In addition, three residential OREO properties with an aggregate carrying value totaling $448,000 were sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 with recognized net losses on the sale of OREO totaling $34,000. As of the date of this filing, the Company has agreements of sale for two OREO properties with an aggregate carrying value totaling $156,000, although there can be no assurance that these sales will be completed.

Total deposits increased $2.5 million, or 0.31%, from $798.4 million at December 31, 2013 to $800.9 million at September 30, 2014 primarily resulting from increases in interest-bearing checking accounts of $13.8 million and non-interest bearing accounts of $8.4 million while certificates of deposit decreased $11.4 million, money market deposits decreased $5.0 million and savings accounts decreased $3.3 million. Interest-bearing checking accounts increased $13.8 million, or 6.51%, to $225.4 million at September 30, 2014 from $211.6 million at December 31, 2013. Non-interesting bearing accounts totaled $90.8 million at September 30, 2014, an increase of $8.3 million, or 10.10%, from the December 31, 2013 total of $82.5 million. At September 30, 2014, certificates of deposit totaled $257.8 million, a decrease of $11.4 million, or 4.23%, from the December 31, 2013 total of $269.2 million. Money market accounts decreased $5.0 million, or 3.58%, to $134.1 million at September 30, 2014 from $139.1 million at December 31, 2013.

Borrowings decreased $11.8 million, or 8.23%, from $143.9 million at December 31, 2013 to $132.1 million at September 30, 2014.

Cape Bancorp’s total equity decreased $563,000, or 0.40%, to $139.9 million at September 30, 2014 from $140.4 million at December 31, 2013 primarily resulting from a net increase of $3.6 million in retained earnings (earnings less dividends declared), an improvement of $1.1 million in the accumulated other comprehensive loss, and increases in paid-in-capital and unearned ESOP shares totaling $651,000. These increases were offset by a $6.0 million decrease related to the Company’s stock repurchase program. Tangible equity to tangible assets increased to 11.04% at September 30, 2014 compared to 10.99% at December 31, 2013. At September 30, 2014, Cape Bank’s regulatory capital ratios for Tier I Leverage Ratio, Tier I Risk-Based Capital and Total Risk-Based Capital were 9.60%, 13.03% and 14.28%, respectively, all of which exceed well capitalized status.

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans and loans held for sale were included in the computation of average balances but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense. Yields and rates have been annualized.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The average rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The average volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net change column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Loan Losses.In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 450 Contingencies, we establish provisions for loan losses which are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, we consider, among other things, past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, external factors such as competition and regulations, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of delinquent loans.

The amount of the allowance is based on management’s judgment of probable losses, and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or conditions change. We assess the allowance for loan losses and make provisions for loan losses on a quarterly basis.

Income tax expense reflects a lower effective tax rate in 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity refers to our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers as well as our operating cash needs with cost-effective funding. We generate funds to meet these needs primarily through our core deposit base and the maturity or repayment of loans and other interest-earning assets, including investments.Proceeds from the call, maturity, redemption, and return of principal of investment securities totaled$20.4 million through September 30, 2014 and were used either for liquidity, to reduce borrowings, or to invest in securities of similar quality as our current investment portfolio. We also have available unused wholesale sources of liquidity, including overnight federal funds and repurchase agreements, advances from the FHLB of New York, borrowings through the discount window at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and access to certificates of deposit through brokers. We can also raise cash through the sale of earning assets, such as loans and marketable securities. As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s investment portfolio consisted of AFS securities with a fair market value of $157.3 million and HTM securities at amortized cost of $17.8 million. The Company has no intention to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell any securities prior to their recovery in fair market value.

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that we may not be able to meet our financial obligations and operating cash needs or may become overly reliant upon external funding sources. In order to manage this risk, our Board of Directors has approved a Liquidity Management Policy and Contingency Funding Plan that identifies primary sources of liquidity, establishes procedures for monitoring and measuring liquidity, and quantifies minimum liquidity requirements based on approved limits. This policy designates our Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) as the body responsible for meeting these objectives. The ALCO, which includes members of executive management, reviews liquidity on a periodic basis and approves significant changes in strategies that affect balance sheet or cash flow positions. Liquidity is centrally managed on a daily basis by our Chief Financial Officer and our Treasury function. Liquidity stress testing is performed annually, unless circumstance dictates more frequently, and all testing results are reported to the Board of Directors through the ALCO minutes.

Cape Bank’s long-term liquidity source is a large core deposit base and a strong capital position. Core deposits are the most stable source of liquidity a bank can have due to the long-term relationship with a deposit customer. The level of deposits during any period is sometimes influenced by factors outside of management’s control, such as the level of short-term and long-term market interest rates and yields offered on competing investments, such as money market mutual funds. Deposits increased $2.5 million, or 0.31%, during the first nine months of 2014, and comprised 85.03% of total liabilities at September 30, 2014, as compared to 83.83% at December 31, 2013.

Regulatory Matters.Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Management believes as of September 30, 2014, the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. The Bank’s Board of Directors has established a Capital Plan to ensure the Bank is managed to provide an appropriate level of capital. This plan includes strategies which enable the Bank to maintain targeted capital ratios in excess of the regulatory definition of “well capitalized”, identify sources of additional capital and evaluate on a quarterly basis the impact on capital resulting from certain potential significant financial events (stress testing). Additionally, a Contingency Plan exists which identifies scenarios that require specific actions in the event capital falls below certain levels.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).

As of September 30, 2014, the Bank was categorized as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category as of September 30, 2014.

On July 21, 2014, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per common share to shareholders of record as of the close of business August 8, 2014. The dividend was paid on August 18, 2014. On October 20, 2014, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per common share to shareholders of record as of the close of business November 3, 2014. The dividend is expected to be paid on or about November 18, 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies.In the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we have adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our significant accounting policies are described inNote 2- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates under different conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

Allowance for Loan Losses.We consider the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment.

In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss factors, the mix of the loan portfolio (types of loans and amounts), geographic and industry concentrations, current national and local economic conditions and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio, including underlying collateral values and estimated future cash flows. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Groups of homogeneous loans are evaluated in the aggregate under FASB ASC Topic No. 450 Contingencies, using historical loss factors adjusted for economic conditions and other environmental factors. Other environmental factors include trends in delinquencies and classified loans, loan concentrations by loan category and by property type, seasonality of the portfolio, internal and external analysis of credit quality, and single and total credit exposure. Certain loans that indicate underlying credit or collateral concerns may be evaluated individually for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 310 Receivables. If a loan is impaired and repayment is expected solely from the collateral, the difference between the outstanding balance and the value of the collateral will be charged-off. For potentially impaired loans where the source of repayment may include other sources of repayment from third parties, the evaluation may include these potential sources of repayment and indicate the need for a specific reserve for any potential shortfall. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as projected events change.

Management reviews the level of the allowance quarterly. Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the FDIC and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would adversely affect earnings.See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Securities Impairment.In December 2013, the Bank sold all of its CDO securities principally issued by insurance companies as well as three remaining CDO securities that had been principally issued by bank holding companies. At the time of sale, these securities had an aggregate book value of $8.3 million and the Bank recorded an $851,000 loss on the sale. Additionally, on February 27, 2014, the Bank sold its remaining portion of CDOs with a book value of zero, resulting in the $1.9 million gain.

Securities that are in a loss position for 12 months or longer are reviewed to determine if there is other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). If the market value of the security is equal to or greater than 90% of the book value, no action will be taken. If the market value of the security is less than 90% of the book value, management will research the security and evaluate the cause of the persistently depressed market value and document the findings. At September 30, 2014, there were no securities to be evaluated.

Income Taxes.The Company is subject to the income and other tax laws of the United States and the State of New Jersey. These laws are complex and are subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the various taxing authorities. In determining the provisions for income and other taxes, management must make judgments and estimates about the application of these inherently complex laws, related regulations and case law. In the process of preparing the Company provision and tax returns, management attempts to make reasonable interpretations of applicable tax laws. These interpretations are subject to challenge by the taxing authorities upon audit or to reinterpretation based on management’s ongoing assessment of facts and evolving case law.

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and separate entity state income tax returns. The provision for federal and state income taxes is based on income and expenses, as reported in the consolidated financial statements, rather than amounts reported on the Company’s federal and state income tax returns. When income and expenses are recognized in different periods for tax purposes than for book purposes, applicable deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the 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 to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred federal and state tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. For more information about our income taxes, readNote 11, “Income Taxes,” in our2013 Annual Report to Shareholders.

On a quarterly basis, management assesses the reasonableness of its effective federal and state tax rate based upon its current best estimate of net income and the applicable taxes expected for the full year.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, interest rate risk is a significant risk to our net interest income and earnings. Our assets, consisting primarily of loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, we have anEnterprise Risk Management Committee (“ERM”) of the Board which focuses on interest rate risk management and meets quarterly, as well as an Asset/Liability Committee which meets monthly. The ERM is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for recommending to our Board of Directors the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors.

We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. As part of our ongoing asset-liability management, we currently use the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:

●

originating commercial loans that generally tend to have shorter maturity or repricing characteristics;

●

obtaining general financing through lower cost deposits, brokered deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank;

●

lengthening the terms of borrowings and deposits;

●

focusing on core deposit growth; and

●

using interest rate swaps to hedge variability in future cash flows caused by changes in interest rates.

By shortening the average maturity of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter term loans, as well as loans with variable interest rates, it helps to better match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates.

Net Portfolio Value Analysis. We compute amounts by which the net present value of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (net portfolio value or “NPV”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. Our simulation model uses a discounted cash flow analysis to measure the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value. We estimate the economic value of these assets and liabilities under the assumption that interest rates experience an instantaneous and sustained increase of 100 or 200 basis points or decrease of 100 or 200 basis points.

Net Interest Income Analysis.In addition to NPV calculations, we analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through our net interest income model. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. In our model, we estimate what our net interest income would be for a twelve-month period. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under the assumption that interest rates experience an instantaneous and sustained increase of 100 or 200 basis points or decrease of 100 or 200 basis points.

The table below sets forth, as of September 30, 2014, our calculation of the estimated changes in our net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous and sustained changes in interest rates. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

(1)	Assumes an instantaneous and sustained uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.

(2)	NPV is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The table above indicates that at September 30, 2014, in the event of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a $1.0 million decrease in net interest income. In the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a $68,000 decrease in net interest income.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in determining interest rate risk through changes in net portfolio value and net interest income. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the net portfolio value and net interest income information presented assume that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured, and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although interest rate risk calculations provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2014 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to us (or our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

(b)	Changes in internal controls

There were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s third fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these legal actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Subsequent to September 30, 2014, on October 14, 2014, a complaint was filed against Colonial Financial Services, Inc. (“Colonial”) and the members of its Board of Directors in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, seeking class action status and asserting that Colonial and the members of its Board had violated their duties to Colonial’s shareholders in connection with the proposed merger with the Company. The complaint alleges that Cape Bancorp, Inc. and Cape Bank aided and abetted the Colonial directors’ alleged violations of their fiduciary duties. The litigation is in its early stages, and Cape Bancorp and Cape Bank believe the complaint is without merit, and intend to vigorously defend the complaint.
