BCB Bancorp Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, BCB Community Bank (the “Bank”), BCB Holding Company Investment Company, BCB New York Asset Management, Inc. and Pamrapo Service Corporation. The Company’s business is conducted principally through the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information that would be included in audited consolidated financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial condition and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 201 7 or any other future period. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the periods then ended. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 201 6 , which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred between September 30, 201 7 , and the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. See Note 9 related to subsequent events.





Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which will supersede the current revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year.  The new guidance will be effective for public companies for periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with private companies provided a one-year deferral until periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The scope of ASC 606 excludes net interest income or other revenues associated with financial assets and liabilities, including loans, leases, securities and derivatives, which would then exclude the majority of the Company's revenues. However, the recognition and measurement of certain non-interest income items such as gain on sale of other real estate owned and deposit-related fees, could be affected by ASC 606.



In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will supersede the current lease requirements in Topic 840. The ASU requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and related lease liability for all leases, with a limited exception for short-term leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. Currently, leases are classified as either capital or operating, with only capital leases recognized on the balance sheet. The reporting of lease related expenses in the statements of operations and cash flows will be generally consistent with the current guidance. The new guidance will be effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018 for public companies and for years beginning after December 15, 2019 for private companies. Once effective, the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective transition method to the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company is currently assessing the impacts this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.



In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to report “expected” credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit rather than the current “incurred loss” model. These expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date are to be based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU will also require enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filers, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has begun evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements and results of operations. The effect of this change cannot be ascertained at this point, and will depend upon factors including asset components, asset quality and market conditions at the adoption date.



In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”. The amendments in this update requires that an entity account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified, the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified and the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. ASU 2017-09 is effective for all entities on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Due to prospective application, the new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.



ASU 2017-08, "Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities." ASU 2017-08 was issued to enhance the accounting for the amortization of premiums for purchased callable debt securities. This amendment requires that the amortization premium be shortened to the earliest call date. For public business entities, ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoptions of ASU 2017-08 on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Reclassification



Certain amounts as of December 31 , 201 6 and the three and nine month period s ended September 30 , 201 6 , respectively have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These changes had no effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.





Note 3 – Pension and Other Postretirement Plans

The Company assumed, through the merger with Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc., a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering all eligible employees of Pamrapo Savings Bank. Effective January 1, 2010, the defined benefit pension plan (“Pension Plan”), was frozen by Pamrapo Savings Bank. All benefits for eligible participants accrued in the “Pension Plan” to the freeze date have been retained. Accordingly, no employees are permitted to commence participation in the Pension Plan and future salary increases and future years of service are not considered when computing an employee’s benefits under the Pension Plan. The Pension Plan is funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable government regulations. The Company also acquired through the merger with Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. a supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) in which certain former employees of Pamrapo Savings Bank are covered. A SERP is an unfunded non-qualified deferred retirement plan. Participants who retire at the age of 65 (the “Normal Retirement Age”), are entitled to an annual retirement benefit equal to 75% of compensation reduced by their retirement plan annual benefits. Participants retiring before the Normal Retirement Age receive the same benefits reduced by a percentage based on years of service to the Company and the number of years prior to the Normal Retirement Age that participants retire.



Periodic pension and SERP cost, which is recorded as part of salaries and employee benefits expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income, is comprised of the following. (In Thousands):

Note 4 – Net Income per Common Share



Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income less dividends on preferred stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The diluted net income per common share is computed by adjusting the weig hted average number of shares of common stock outstanding to include the effects of outstanding stock options, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. Dilution is not applicable in periods of net loss. For the three and nine months ended September 30 , 201 7 and 201 6 , the difference in the weighted average number of basic and diluted common shares was due solely to the effects of outstanding stock options. No adjustments to net income were necessary in calculating basic and diluted net income per share. For the three months ended September 3 0 , 201 7 and 201 6 the weighted average number of outstanding options considered to be anti-dilutive were 0 and 24 ,82 3 respectively . For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 the weighted average number of outstanding options considered to be anti-dilutive were 0 and 3 2 , 619 respectively.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) whether the Company  intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the unrealized losses on the municipal obligations and preferred stock were very minimal and all less than 12 months in duration. At September 30 , 201 7 and December 31, 201 6 , management performed an assessment for possible OTTI of the Company’s residential mortgage-backed securities on an issue-by-issue basis, relying on information obtained from various sources, including publicly available financial data, ratings by external agencies, brokers and other sources. The extent of individual analysis applied to each security depended on the size of the Company’s investment, as well as management’s perception of the credit risk associated with each security. Based on the results of the assessment, management believes impairment of these securities, at September 30 , 201 7 and December 31, 201 6 to be temporary.

Note 6 - Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses



Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance on at least a quarterly basis to ensure that the provision for loan losses has been charged against earnings in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance at a level that is adequate based on management’s assessment of probable estimated losses.  The Company’s methodology for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses consists of several key elements. These elements include a general allocated reserve for performing loans, a specific reserve for impaired loans and an unallocated portion.



The Company consistently applies the following comprehensive methodology. During the quarterly review of the allowance for loan losses, the Company considers a variety of qualitative factors that include:

•   General economic conditions.

•   Trends in charge-offs.

•   Trends and levels of delinquent loans.

•   Trends and levels of non-performing loans, including loans over 90 days delinquent.

•   Trends in volume and terms of loans.

•   Levels of allowance for specific classified loans.

•   Credit concentrations.



The methodology includes the segregation of the loan portfolio into two divisions.  Loans that are performing and loans that are impaired. Loans which are performing are evaluated homogeneously by loan class or loan type. The allowance for performing loans is evaluated based on historical loan experience, including consideration of peer loss analysis, with an adjustment for qualitative factors referred to above. Impaired loans are loans which are more than 90 days delinquent or troubled debt restructured.  These loans are individually evaluated for loan loss either by current appraisal, or net present value. Management reviews the overall estimate for feasibility and bases the loan loss provision accordingly.



The loan portfolio is segmented into the following loan classes, where the risk level for each class is analyzed when determining the allowance for loan losses:



Residential single family real estate loans involve certain risks such as interest rate risk and risk of non-repayment. Adjustable-rate residential family real estate loans decreases the interest rate risk to the Bank that is associated with changes in interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Repayment risk may be affected by a number of factors including, but not necessarily limited to, job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy of the borrower.



Construction lending is generally considered to involve a high risk due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of the general economic conditions on developers and builders. Moreover, a construction loan can involve additional risks because of the inherent difficulty in estimating both a property’s value at completion of the project and the estimated cost (including interest) of the project. The nature of these loans is such that they are generally difficult to evaluate and monitor. In addition, speculative construction loans to a builder are not necessarily pre-sold and thus pose a greater potential risk to the Bank than construction loans to individuals on their personal residence.



Commercial and multi-family real estate lending entails significant additional risks as compared with residential family property lending. Such loans typically involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. The payment experience on such loans is typically dependent on the successful operation of the real estate project. The success of such projects is sensitive to changes in supply and demand conditions in the market for commercial real estate as well as economic conditions generally.



Commercial business lending, including lines of credit, is generally considered higher risk due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of general economic conditions on the business. Commercial business loans are primarily secured by inventories and other business assets. In most cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted commercial business loans will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance.



Home equity lending entails certain risks such as interest rate risk and risk of non-repayment. The marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by higher interest rates, decreasing the collateral securing the loan. Repayment risk can be affected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy of the borrower. Home equity line of credit lending entails securing an equity interest in the borrower’s home. In many cases, the Bank’s position in these loans is as a junior lien holder to another institution’s superior lien. This type of lending is often priced on an adjustable rate basis with the rate set at or above a predefined index. Adjustable-rate loans decreases the interest rate risk to the Bank that is associated with changes in interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default.



Other consumer loans generally have more credit risk because of the type and nature of the collateral and, in certain cases, the absence of collateral. Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than other lending. In addition, consumer lending collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely effected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy. In most cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan.



The Company also maintains an unallocated allowance.  The unallocated allowance is used to cover any factors or conditions which may cause a potential loan loss but are not specifically identifiable.  It is prudent to maintain an unallocated portion of the allowance because no matter how detailed an analysis of potential loan losses is performed, these estimates lack some element of precision.  Management must make estimates using assumptions and information that is often subjective and changing rapidly.

Note 6 - Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)



Classified Assets .



Our policies provide for a classification system for problem assets. Under this classification system, problem assets are classified as “substandard,” “doubtful,” “loss” or “special mention.”



When we classify problem assets, we may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amoun t deemed prudent by management. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. A portion of general loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified as substandard or doubtful may be included in determining our regulatory capital. Specific valuation allowances for loan losses generally do not qualify as regulatory capital. The loans classified as substandard represent primarily commercial loans secured either by residential real estate, commercial real estate or heavy equipment. The loans that have been classified substandard were classified as such primarily due to payment status, because updated financial information has not been timely provided, or the collateral underlying the loan is in the process of being revalued.



The Company’s internal credit risk grades are based on the definitions currently utilized by the banking regulatory agencies.  The grades assigned and definitions are as follows, and loans graded excellent, above average, good and watch list (risk ratings 1-4) are treated as “pass” for grading purposes:



5 – Special Mention- Loans currently performing but with potential weaknesses including adverse trends in borrower’s operations, credit quality, financial strength, or possible collateral deficiency.



6 – Substandard - Loans that are inadequately protected by current sound worth, paying capacity, and collateral support.  Loans on “nonaccrual” status.  The loan needs special and corrective attention.



7 – Doubtful - Weaknesses in credit quality and collateral support make full collection improbable, but pending reasonable factors remain sufficient to defer the loss status.



8 – Loss - Continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. However, this does not preclude future attempts at partial recovery.

Note 6 - Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

The table below sets forth the amounts and types of non-accrual loans in the Company’s loan portfolio as of September 30, 201 7 and December 31, 201 6 . Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become more than 90 days delinquent, or when the collection of principal and/or interest become doubtful. As of September 30, 201 7 and December 31, 201 6 , total non-accrual loans differed from the amount of total loans past due greater than 90 days due to troubled debt restructuring of loans which are maintained on non-accrual status for a minimum of six months and until the borrower has demonstrated its ability to satisfy the terms of the restructured loan.

A (“TDR”) is a loan that has been modified whereby the Company has agreed to make certain concessions to a borrower to meet the needs of both the borrower and the Company to maximize the ultimate recovery of a loan. A TDR occurs when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties and the loan is modified using a modification that would otherwise not be granted to the borrower. The types of concessions granted generally include, but are not limited to interest rate reductions, limitations on the accrued interest charged, term extensions, and deferment of principal.



The following table summarizes information with regards to troubled debt restructurings which occurred during the three months ended September 3 0 , 201 7 . (Dollars in Thousands):

The loans included above are considered TDRs as a result of the Company implementing one or more of the following concessions: granting a material extension of time, issuing a forbearance agreement, adjusting the interest rate to a below market rate, accepting interest only for a period of time or a change in amortization period. All TDRs were considered impaired and therefore were individually evaluated for impairment in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses. Prior to their classification as TDRs, certain of these loans had been collectively evaluated for impairment in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses.

Note 7 – Fair Values of Financial Instruments



Guidance on fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 : Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 : Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 : Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market activity).

An asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.



The only assets or liabilities that the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows. (In Thousands):

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 201 7 and December 31, 201 6 .





Cash and Cash Equivalents and Interest-Earning Time Deposits (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.

Securities

The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) are determined by matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

Loans Held for Sale (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value)

The fair value of loans held for sale is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary-market prices. If no such quoted prices exist, the fair value of a loan is determined using quoted prices for a similar loan or loans, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan. Loans held for sale are carried at their cost as of September 30, 201 7 and December 31, 201 6 .

Loans Receivable (Carried at Cost)

The fair value of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.







39


N ote 7 – Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)

Impaired Loans (Generally Carried at Fair Value)

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. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loans observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value at September 30 , 201 7 and December 31, 201 6 consisted of the loan balances of $ 1 4 . 86 million and $1 4 . 05 million, net of a valuation allowance of $3. 65 million and $3. 53 million, respectively.





Real Estate Owned (Generally Carried at Fair Value)

Real Estate Owned is generally carried at fair value, when the carrying value is written down to fair value, which is determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or based upon the expected proceeds from a pending sale. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

FHLB of New York Stock (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.

Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amount of interest receivable and interest payable approximates its fair value.

Deposits (Carried at Cost)

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Long-Term Debt (Carried at Cost)

Fair values of long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new long-term debt with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

Fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and unused lines of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of these commitments was deemed immaterial and is not presented in the accompanying table.

Note 8 – Definitive Merger Agreement



On June 7, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") with IA Bancorp, Inc. ("IAB"), providing for, among other things, the merger of IAB with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company as the surviving entity. The Agreement also provides for the merger of Indus-American Bank, a New Jersey chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of IAB, with and into the Ban k, with the Bank as the surviving entity. The Agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each of the Company and IAB.



Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), IAB shareholders will have the right to receive, for each share of IAB common stock, either (i) 0.189 of a share of the Company’s common stock, or (ii) $3.05 in cash, at the election of such holder, subject to adjustment if IAB's tangible common equity falls below a certain level. All such elections are subject to adjustment on a pro rata basis, so that approximately 20% of the aggregate consideration paid to IAB shareholders will be cash and approximately 80% will be the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company is issuing two series of preferred stock in exchange for two outstanding series of IAB preferred stock. The two series of the Company’s preferred stock will have terms substantially similar to the terms of the two series of IAB preferred stock.



At the Effective Time, each option granted by IAB to purchase shares of IAB common stock under IAB's equity plan that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding, whether vested or unvested, will be canceled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the difference, if positive, between $3.05 and the exercise price of the option.



The Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and IAB and further provides that a termination fee of $800,000 will be payable by IAB to the Company upon termination of the Agreement under certain specified circumstances . Subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, the Company anticipate s the Merger to close in the fourth quarter of 2017 or the first quarter of 2018.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



Forward-Looking Statements



This report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, or the PSLRA. Such forward-looking statements, in addition to historical information, involve risk and uncertainties, and are based on the beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our management team. Words such as “expects,” “believes,” “should,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “will,” “potential,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “outlook,” “predict,” “project,” “would,” “estimated,” “assumes,” “likely,” and variation of such similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possible materially, from those that we anticipated in our forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance.

Factors that could cause future results to vary from current management expectations as reflected in our forward looking statements include, but are not limited to:



· unfavorable economic conditions in the United States generally and particularly in our primary market area;

· the effects of declines in housing markets and real estate values that may adversely impact the collateral underlying our loans;

· increase in unemployment levels and slowdowns in economic growth;

· our level of non-performing assets and the costs associated with resolving any problem loans including litigation and other costs;

· the impact of changes in interest rates and the credit quality and strength of underlying collateral and the effect of such changes on the market value of our loan and investment securities portfolios;

· the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio;

· changes in the quality and composition of the Bank’s loan and investment portfolios;

· changes in our ability to access cost-effective funding;

· deposit flows;

· legislative and regulatory changes, including increases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insurance rates;

· monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government;

· changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities;

· inflation;

· demands for our loan products;

· demand for financial services;

· competition;

· changes in the securities or secondary mortgage markets;

· changes in management’s business strategies;

· our ability to enter new markets successfully;

· Any potential delay in completing the merger;

· our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses;

· changes in consumer spending;

· our ability to retain key employees;

· the effects of any reputational, credit, interest rate, market, operational, legal, liquidity, regulatory risk ;

· expanded regulatory requirements as a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which could adversely

42


affect operating results; and

· other factors discussed elsewhere in this report, and in other reports we filed with the SEC, including under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our annual Report on Form 10-K and our other periodic reports that we file with the SEC.



You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our expectations only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We do not assume any obligation to revise forward-looking statements except as may be required by law.

BCB Community Bank opened for business on November 1, 2000 as Bayonne Community Bank, a New Jersey chartered commercial bank. The Bank changed its name from Bayonne Community Bank to BCB Community Bank in April 2007. At September 30, 201 7 the Bank operated through twenty -two branches in Bayonne, Carteret, Colonia, Edison, Jersey City, Hoboken, Fairfield, Holmdel, Lodi, Lyndhurst, Monroe Township, Rutherford, South Orange, Union, and Woodbridge, New Jersey, as well as two branches in Staten Island, NY, and through executive offices located at 104-110 Avenue C and an administrative office located at 591-595 Avenue C, Bayonne, New Jersey 07002.

F or description s of the merger rece ntly entered into by the Company and the stock offering recently completed by the Company , see Note s 8 and 9 to the Company’s unaudited financial statements.



Critical Accounting Policies



The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We regularly evaluate these estimates and assumptions including those used to determine the allowance for loan losses , deferred taxes, fair value measurements, goodwill and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These form the basis for making judgments on the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readi ly apparent from other sources. Although our current estimates contemplate current economic conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, for the remainder of 201 7 , it is reasonably possible that actual conditions may be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.



See further discussion of these critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 201 6 and Note 1, Basis of Presentation, to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There has been no change in critical accounting policies since the Company’s last reported Form 10-K.





Financial Condition



Total assets increased by $163.5 million, or 9.6 percent, to $1.872 billion at September 30, 2017 from $1.708 billion at December 31, 2016. The increase in total assets occurred primarily as a result of an increase in loans receivable of $134.1 million, an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $32.6 million, and an increase in securities available for sale of $5.3 million. Management is concentrating on maintaining adequate liquidity in anticipation of funding loans in the loan pipeline as well as seeking opportunities to purchase securities in the secondary market that provide competitive returns in a risk-mitigated environment. It is our intention to grow our assets at a measured pace consistent with our capital levels and as business opportunities permit.

Loans receivable increased by $134.1 million, or 9.0 percent, to $1.619 billion at September 30, 2017 from $1.485 billion at December 31, 2016, and is consistent with the Company’s growth strategy for 2017. The increase resulted primarily from increases of $114.4 million in commercial real estate and multi-family loans, $30.7 million in residential one-to-four family loans, and $1.2 million in home equity loans, partly offset by decreases in construction loans of $10.2 million, commercial business loans of $844,000, and consumer loans of $99,000. As of September 30, 2017, the allowance for loan losses was $18.4 million or 108.8 percent, of non-performing loans and 1.12 percent of gross loans.

Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $32.6 million, or 50.1 percent, to $97.6 million at September 30, 2017 from $65.0 million at December 31, 2016 primarily due to the Company’s capital raise in the third quarter and the Company’s strategy to increase our deposit base including the success of our 17-month promotional CD product in the first quarter of 2017.

Securities available for sale increased by $5.3 million, or 5.6 percent, to $100.1 million at September 30, 2017 from $94.8 million at December 31, 2016, as the Company deployed excess cash to improve returns on interest- earning assets and liquidity.

Deposit liabilities increased by $153.9 million, or 11.1 percent, to $1.546 billion at September 30, 2017 from $1.392 billion at December 31, 2016. The increase resulted primarily from increases of $102.9 million in certificates of deposit, $19.9 million in NOW deposit accounts, $10.7 million in non-interest bearing deposit accounts, $17.1 million in money market checking accounts and $1.2 million in savings and club accounts. In addition to organic deposit growth resulting from the opening of seven

43


additional branches in 2016, the Company has also added listing service certificates of deposit and brokered certificates of deposit to fund loan growth, which totaled $3 5 .9 million and $42.1 million, respectively, at September 30, 2017.

Long-term debt decreased by $17.0 million, or 11.0 percent, to $138.0 million at September 30, 2017 from $155.0 million at December 31, 2016, the net result of scheduled maturities of FHLB advances and the issuance of new FHLB advances. The purpose of these borrowings reflected the use of long-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances to augment deposits as the Company’s funding source for originating loans and investing in investment securities. Short-term debt borrowings of $20.0 million at December 31, 2016 were repaid in 2017. The weighted average interest rate of borrowings was 1.71 percent at September 30, 2017.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $46.5 million, or 35.5 percent, to $177.6 million at September 30, 2017 from $131.1 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily attributable to proceeds received from the issuance of $42.8 million of common stock, proceeds received from the issuance of $9.5 million of series D 4.5 percent non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, as well as an increase in retained earnings of $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, partly offset by the redemption of $11.7 million of series A and B 6 percent noncumulative perpetual preferred stock that occurred in the first quarter of 2017. The Company accrued a dividend payable for the third quarter on our outstanding preferred stock of $166,000 which will be paid in the fourth quarter.

Results of Operations comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016



Net income increased $1.3 million, or 68.1 percent, to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in net income was primarily related to an increase in total interest income, a decrease in total interest expense, an increase in total non-interest income, and a decrease in total non-interest expense, partly offset by a higher provision for loan losses and a higher income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Net interest income increased by $2.0 million, or 14.5 percent, to $15.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase in the average balance on total interest earning assets of $91.4 million, or 5.4 percent, to $1.779 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.687 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016, as well as an increase in the average yield on total interest earning assets of 16 basis points, or 3.8 percent, to 4.36 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 4.20 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Interest income on loans receivable increased by $1.2 million or 7.0 percent, to $18.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $167.3 million, or 11.6 percent, to $1.610 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.443 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016, partly offset by a decrease in the average yield on loans receivable of 19 basis points, or 4.09 percent, to 4.57 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 4.76 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in the average balance of loans receivable was in accordance with the Company’s growth strategy, which included growing the Bank’s geographic footprint vis-à-vis our organic branching strategy and the hiring of seasoned loan and business development officers. The decrease in average yield on loans reflected the competitive price environment prevalent in the Company’s primary market area on loan facilities, as well as the repricing downward of certain variable rate loans.

Interest income on equity and debt securities increased by $527,000 to $694,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $167,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of investment securities of $68.4 million, or 249.1 percent, to $95.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $27.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and an increase in the average yield on investment securities of 48 basis points, or 19.8 percent, to 2.90 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 2.42 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in the average balance and average yield of equity and debt securities resulted from de ploying excess cash to improve returns on interest earning assets and liquidity.

Interest income on other interest-earning assets decreased by $60,000, or 16.1 percent, to $313,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $373,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average balance of other interest-earning assets of $144.3 million, or 66.5 percent, to $72.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $217.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 partly offset by as an increase in the average yield of other interest-earning deposits of 103 basis points, or 149.8 percent, to 1.72 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.69 percent for the three months ended September, 30, 2016. The decrease in the average balance of other interest-earning assets related to a decrease in cash as funds were deployed for repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings, purchases of investment securities and to fund loan growth, while the increase in the average yield primarily resulted from increases in the Fed Funds rate.

Total interest expense decreased by $302,000, or 7.3 percent, to $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Despite an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $56.3 million, or 3.9 percent, to $1.484 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.428 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016, the average cost of funds decreased 13 basis points, or 10.8 percent, to 1.03 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 1.16 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Interest expense decreased due to a decrease in the average balance of average cost of borrowings. The average balance of total deposit liabilities increased by $89.1 million, or 7.2 percent, to $1.333 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.244 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and the average cost of deposits increased by 4 basis points, or 4.2 percent, to 0.93 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.89 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The average balance of borrowings decreased by $32.8 million, or 17.8 percent, to $151.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $184.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and the average cost of borrowings decreased 101 basis points, or 33.7 percent, to 1.97 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 2.98 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The net decrease in borrowings was primarily the result of scheduled repayments of high-cost Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Net interest margin was 3.50 percent for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 and 3.22 percent for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016. The improvement in the net interest margin was primarily the result of the repayment of higher cost FHLB borrowings in 2017, partly offset by competitive pressures in attracting new loans and deposits, as evidenced by a decline in the average yield on loans and a slight increase in the average cost of deposit liabilities.

The provision for loan losses increased by $812,000 to $511,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from ($301,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The negative provision for loan losses in the prior period reflects the excess specific provisions previously accrued on certain loans that were settled in that period. The provision for loan losses is established based upon management’s review of the Company’s loans and consideration of a variety of factors, including but not limited to: (1) the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio; (2) current economic conditions; (3) actual losses previously experienced; (4) the dynamic activity and fluctuating balance of loans receivable; and (5) the existing level of reserves for loan losses that are probable and estimable. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company experienced $26,000 in net charge-offs compared to $447,000 in net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The Bank had non-performing loans totaling $17.0 million, or 1.03 percent, of gross loans at September 30, 2017 and $15.7 million, or 1.04 percent, of gross loans at December 31, 2016. The allowance for loan losses was $18.4 million, or 1.12 percent, of gross loans at September 30, 2017, $17.2 million, or 1.14 percent, of gross loans at December 31, 2016 and $17.6 million, or 1.21 percent, of gross loans at September 30, 2016. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates. Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loan losses as necessary in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future loan loss provisions may be necessary based on changes in the aforementioned criteria. In addition various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and

46


may require the Company to recognize additional provisions based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Total non-interest income increased by $103,000, or 6.7 percent, to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to gains on sales on other real estate owned properties of $222,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 with no comparable sales for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a gain on sales of investment securities of $97,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 with no comparable sales for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a loss on a bulk sale of impaired loans held in the portfolio of $88,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 with no comparable sale for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in total non-interest income was partly offset by a decrease in gains on sale s of loans of $178,000, or 24.8 percent, to $ 540,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $718,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, as well as a decrease in fees and service charges of $124,000, or 14.2 percent, to $749,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $873,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Total non-interest expense decreased by $1.0 million, or 8.5 percent, to $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $822,000, or 12.2 percent, to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily related to a reduction in workforce over the last 12 months. Advertising expense decreased by $365,000, or 75.7 percent, to $117,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $482,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, aa result of advertising efforts with the opening of several de novo branches in 2016. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $154,000, or 7.0 percent, to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $ 2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, also related to costs associated with opening de novo branches in 2016. Regulatory assessment expense decreased by $111,000, or 25.9 percent, to $318,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $429,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily related to lower FDIC rates. The decrease in total non-interest expense was partly offset by an increase in data processing expense of $345,000, or 96.4 percent, to $703,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $358,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, mainly attributable to credit adjustments related to the new core processing system implemented in the prior year period. Other non-interest expense consisted of occupancy and equipment, director fees, regulatory assessments, other real estate owned (net), and other fees/expenses.

The income tax provision increased by $1.0 million or 86.2 percent, to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in income tax provision was a result of higher taxable income during the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2016. The consolidated effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 40.0 percent compared to 39.7 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The increase in net income was primarily related to increases in total interest income, a decrease in total interest expense, an increase in total non-interest income, and a decrease in non-interest expense, partly offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses and a higher income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Net interest income increased by $4.6 million, or 11.3 percent, to $45.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $40.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $126.5 million, or 8.8 percent, to $1.570 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.443 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, partly offset by a decrease in the average yield on loans receivable of 22 basis points, or 4.5 percent, to 4.58 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 4.80 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in the average balance of loans receivable was in accordance with the Company’s growth strategy, which included the hiring of additional loan production and business development personnel and the opening of seven additional branches in 2016. The decrease in average yield on loans reflected the competitive price environment prevalent in the Company’s primary market area on loan facilities, as well as the repricing downward of certain variable rate loans.

Interest income on equity and debt securities increased by $1.8 million to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $291,000 for the nine months ended Sep tember 30, 2016. This increase was primarily related to an increase in the average balance of investment securities of $77.0 million, or 487.4 percent, to $92.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and an increase in the average yield of 54 basis points, or 22.2 percent, to 3.0 percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 2.46 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Interest income on other interest-earning assets decreased by $131,000, or 13.0 percent, to $874,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in the average balance on other interest-earning assets of $123.4 million, or 60.9 percent, to $79.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $202.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, partly offset by an increase in the average yield of other interest-earning assets of 81 basis points, or 122.6 percent, to 1.47 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.66 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in the average balance of other interest-earning assets related to a decrease in cash as funds were deployed for repayment of (“FHLB”) borrowings, purchases of investment securities, and to fund loan growth, while the increase in the average yield resulted primarily from increases in the Fed Funds rate.

Total interest expense decreased by $897,000, or 7.1 percent, to $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

47


in the average balance and average cost of borrowings. The average balance of total deposit liabilities increased by $100.9 million, or 8.4 percent, to $1.309 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.208 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and the average cost of deposits increased two basis points to 0.90 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.88 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The net interest margin was 3.46 percent for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 and 3.26 percent for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. The improvement in the net interest margin was primarily the result of the repayment of higher cost FHLB borrowings in 2017, partly offset by competitive pressures in attracting new loans and deposits, as evidenced by a decline in the average yield on loans and a slight increase in the average cost of deposit liabilities.

The provision for loan losses increased by $1.9 million, to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from ($75,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The negative provision for loan losses in the prior period reflects the excess specific provisions previously accrued on certain loans that were settled in that period. The provision for loan losses is established based upon management’s review of the Company’s loans and consideration of a variety of factors, including but not limited to: (1) the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio; (2) current economic conditions; (3) actual losses previously experienced; (4) the dynamic activity and fluctuating balance of loans receivable; and (5) the existing level of reserves for loan losses that are probable and estimable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company experienced $546,000 in net charge-offs compared to $377,000 in net recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Bank had non-performing loans totaling $17.0 million, or 1.03 percent, of gross loans at September 30, 2017 and $15.7 million, or 1.04 percent, of gross loans at December 31, 2016. The allowance for loan losses was $18.4 million, or 1.12 percent, of gross loans at September 30, 2017, $17.2 million, or 1.14 percent, of gross loans at December 31, 2016 and $17.6 million, or 1.21 percent, of gross loans at September 30, 2016.  The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates. Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loan losses as necessary in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future loan loss provisions may be necessary based on changes in the aforementioned criteria. In addition various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additional provisions based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. The increase in the allowance for loan loss reflected growth in the loan portfolio. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Total non-interest income increased by $1.3 million, or 27.2 percent, to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Total non-interest income increased primarily as a result of gains on sale s of other real estate owned properties of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 with no comparable gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a loss on a bulk sale of impaired loans held in the portfolio of $373,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 with no comparable sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase in other non-interest income of $235,000, or 326.4 percent, to $307,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $72,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a gain on sale of investment securities of $97,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 with no comparable sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, partly offset by a decrease in gains on sales of loans of $1.1 million, or 39.7 percent, to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The sales of loans and other real estate owned properties is generally based on market conditions. The increase in other non-interest income related to $237,000 of proceeds from a legal settlement in the second quarter of 2017.

Total non-interest expense decreased by $1.2 million, or 3.4 percent, to $35.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $36.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Salaries and benefits decreased by $1.0 million, or 5.5 percent, to $17.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $18.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily related to a reduction in workforce over the last 12 months. Advertising expense decreased by $860,000, or 69.6 percent, to $375,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as a result of advertising efforts with the opening of several de novo branches throughout 2016. Data processing expense decreased by $219,000, or 9.7 percent, to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily related to cost efficiencies achieved with the conversion to a new core system. Regulatory assessment expense decreased by $129,000, or 11.3 percent, to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily related to lower FDIC rates. Professional fee expense increased by $870,000, or 63.6 percent, to $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.3 million for the nine months ended  September 30, 2016, primarily related to counsel fees and litigation expenses awarded to the plaintiff’s class counsel of $1.0 million in the matter of Kube v. Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. et al. Other non-interest expense consisted of occupancy and equipment, director fees, regulatory assessments, other real estate owned (net), and other fees/expenses.

Income tax provision increased by $2.1 million, or 58.3 percent, to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in income tax provision was a result of higher taxable income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The consolidated effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 40.0 percent compared to 39.7 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Liquidity



The overall objective of our liquidity management practices is to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to meet financial commitments and to take advantage of lending and investment opportunities.  The Company manages liquidity in order to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings and other obligations as they mature, and to fund loan and investment portfolio opportunities as they arise.



T he Company’s primary sources of funds to satisfy its objectives are net growth in deposits (primarily retail), principal and interest p ayments on loans and investment securities, proceeds from the sale of originated loans and FHLB and other borrowings. The scheduled amortization of loans is a predictable source of funds. Deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises, including unsecured overnight lines of credit and other collateralized borrowings from the FHLB and other correspondent banks.



48


At September 30 , 201 7 , the Company had no overnight borrowings outstanding with the FHLB , as compared to $20.0 million at December 31, 2016 . The Company utilizes overnight borrowings from time to time to fund short-term liquidity needs. The Company had total borrowings of $ 1 42 .1 million at September 30 , 201 7 and $ 179 . 1 million at December 31, 201 6 . The average rat e of FHLB borrowings was 1.71 percent at September 30 , 201 7 , as compared with 2 . 45 percent at December 31, 201 6 .



The Company had the ability at September 30 , 201 7 to obtain additional funding from the FHLB of up to $ 87 . 0 million, utilizing unencumbered loan collateral. The Company expects to have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments in the normal course of business through typical sources of liquidity. Time deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $ 3 90 . 9 million at September 30 , 201 7 . Based upon historical experience data, management estimates that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Company.



Capital Resources



At September 30 , 201 7 , and December 31, 201 6 , BCB Community Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements to which it was subject. The following table sets forth the regulatory capital ratios for BCB Community Bank as well as regulatory capital requirements for the periods presented.

In July 2013, the FDIC and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that revised their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.  Among other things, the new rule established a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increased the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigned a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property.  The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain available-for-sale securities holdings and defined benefit plan obligations to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt-in or opt-out is exercised.  The Bank exercised the opt-out election. The rule limits a banking organization's capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a "capital conservation buffer" consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.



The final rule became effective for the Bank and the Company on January 1, 2015.  The capital conservation buffer requirement is being phased in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each subsequent year by an additional 0.625% until reaching its final le vel of 2.5% on January 1, 2019. For 2017, it is 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The Bank and the Company currently comply with the minimum capital and capital conservation buffer requirements set forth in the final rule.



At September 30, 201 7 a nd December 31, 201 6 , the capital ratios of the Bank and the Company exceeded the quantitative capital ratios required for an institution to be considered “well-capitalized.”



Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Management of Market Risk

General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, one of our most significant forms of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage 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 reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Committee which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining 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. Senior management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis and the Asset/Liability Committee, which consists of senior management and outside directors operating under a policy adopted by the Board of Directors, meets quarterly to review our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position.

The following table presents the Company’s net portfolio value (“NPV”). These calculations were based upon assumptions believed to be fundamentally sound, although they may vary from assumptions utilized by other financial institutions. The information set forth below is based on data that included all financial instruments as of September 30 , 2017 . Assumptions have been made by the Company relating to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, core deposit duration, and the market values of

49


certain assets and liabilities under the various interest rate scenarios. Actual maturity dates were used for fixed rate loans and certificate accounts. Investment securities were scheduled at either the maturity date or the next scheduled call date based upon management’s judgment of whether the particular security would be called in the current interest rate environment and under assumed interest rate scenarios. Variable rate loans were scheduled as of their next scheduled interest rate repricing date. Additional assumptions made in the preparation of the NPV table include prepayment rates on loans and mortgage-backed securities, core deposits without stated maturity dates were scheduled with an assumed term of 48 months, and money market and non-interest bearing accounts were scheduled with an assumed term of 24 months. The NPV at “PAR” represents the difference between the Company’s estimated value of assets and estimated value of liabilities assuming no change in interest rates. The NPV for a decrease of 2 00 to 300 basis points has been excluded since it would not be meaningful, in the interest rate environment as of September 30 , 201 7 . The following sets forth the Company’s NPV as of that date.

The table above indicates that a s of September 30, 2017 , in the event of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 8 . 92 % decrease in NPV.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in NPV 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 NPV table presented assumes 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 the NPV table provides 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORM ATION



ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEE DINGS



We are involved, from time to time, as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Other than as set forth below, as of September 30, 2017, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined in a manner adverse to the Company, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

The Company, as the successor to Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc., and in its own corporate capacity, was a named defendant in a shareholder class action lawsuit, Kube v. Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc., et al., filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Hudson County, Chancery Division, General Equity (the "Action”).



On September 21, 2015, the court entered an Order and Final Judgment (“Judgment”), whereby the Stipulation of Settlement ("Stipulation") agreed to by the plaintiff class, the Company and the remaining defendants was approved.



Pursuant to the Stipulation, the plaintiff class's counsel reserved the right to seek an award of counsel fees and litigation expenses (“Fees Motion”). The maximum amount which may be awarded as a result of the Fees Motion is $1,000,000.00. The plaintiff class’s counsel made a Fee Motion to the court seeking a final award of counsel fees and litigation expenses of approximately $1,000,000.00. The Company and the remaining defendants vigorously opposed that motion. By Order, dated July 5, 2017, the court awarded counsel fees and litigation expenses to the plaintiff’s class counsel in the amount of $1,000,000.00. The Company satisfied the Order by July 31, 2017.

The Company and the other defendants in the Action ("Plaintiffs") brought an action ("Carrier Suit") against Progressive Insurance Company ("Progressive"), the Directors' and Officers' Liability insurance carrier for Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc., at the time of its merger with the Company on July 6, 2010, and Colonial American Insurance Company ("Colonial"), the Directors' and Officers' Liability insurance carrier for the Company at the time of the merger. The Carrier Suit seeks, among other claims, indemnification, payment of and/or contribution toward the above settlement, payment of and/or contribution toward the above awards of attorney's fees to the plaintiff class's counsel, and reimbursement of the attorney's fees and defense costs incurred by the Plaintiffs in defending the Action and pursuing the Carrier Suit.



Progressive made a motion to dismiss the Carrier Suit in 2014. The Plaintiffs opposed that motion. That motion was administratively terminated by Order of the court, dated December 3, 2014. By Order of the court, dated December 3, 2014, the Plaintiffs' motion to file an Amended Complaint was granted.



On or about January 6, 2015, Progressive again made a motion to dismiss the Carrier Suit. The Plaintiffs opposed that motion. That motion was denied by oral decision on October 22, 2015, and by written Order, dated January 20, 2016.

A Mediation session ("Mediation") was held on March 11, 2015, among the parties. Following the Mediation, the Plaintiffs and Colonial agreed to settle the Plaintiffs’ claims against Colonial for $1,750,000.00. A Settlement Agreement and Release , dated June 30, 2015, was entered into by the Plaintiffs and Colonial. The Plaintiffs received the settlement amount of $1,750,000.00 from Colonial on July 9, 2015.



The Plaintiffs and Progressive did not settle their respective claims at the Mediation. The Carrier Suit continues with respect to these parties. Initial discovery has been exchanged between the parties.



By Order of the court, dated August 10, 2016, the parties were granted permission to serve and file motions for summary judgment by November 9, 2016. Prior to consideration of these motions, a Settlement Conference was held before the court on November 16, 2016. The Plaintiffs and Progressive did not settle their respective claims at that Settlement Conference.



The Plaintiffs have filed a motion for partial summary judgment. Progressive has filed a motion for summary judgment. These motions were returnable before the court on December 5, 2016.



By Order, dated September 18, 2017, the court granted the Plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment, and denied Progressive’ motion for summary judgment.



A Status Conference was held before the court on October 26, 2017. As a result thereof, a Settlement Conference has been scheduled for December 1, 2017, before the court.



Discovery has been stayed until the conclusion of the Settlement Conference.



The Plaintiffs are vigorously pursuing full recovery.
