NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation : BankFinancial Corporation, a Maryland corporation headquartered in Burr Ridge, Illinois, is the owner of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of BankFinancial, NA (the “Bank”). The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of BankFinancial Corporation, the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Financial Assurance Services, Inc. and BFIN Asset Recovery Company, LLC (collectively, “the Company”), and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. Such adjustments are the only adjustments reflected in the accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any other period.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Use of Estimates : The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual information, actual results could differ from those estimates.

COVID- 19 : The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10 -Q were issued. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID- 19” ) as a global pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and around the world. The declaration of a global pandemic indicates that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The outbreak of COVID- 19 could adversely impact a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. On March 3, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee reduced the target federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.00% to 1.25%. This rate was further reduced to a target range of 0% to 0.25% on March 16, 2020. These reductions in interest rates and other effects of the COVID- 19 outbreak may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. As a result of the spread of the COVID- 19 coronavirus, economic uncertainties have arisen which are likely to negatively impact net interest income and noninterest income. Other financial impacts could occur though such potential impact is unknown at this time.

Reclassifications : Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period’s financial statements to conform them to the current period’s presentation.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2019 , as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016 - 13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326 ): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016 - 13” ). These amendments require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. For SEC filers who are smaller reporting companies, ASU 2016 - 13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Amounts reported in earnings per share reflect earnings available to common stockholders for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

The Company evaluates marketable investment securities with significant declines in fair value on a quarterly basis to determine whether they should be considered other-than-temporarily impaired under current accounting guidance, which generally provides that if a marketable security is in an unrealized loss position, whether due to general market conditions or industry or issuer-specific factors, the holder of the securities must assess whether the impairment is other-than-temporary.

Certain collateralized mortgage obligations that the Company holds in its investment portfolio were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2020 , but the unrealized losses were not considered significant under the Company’s impairment testing methodology. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell these securities, and it is likely that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery occurs.

The Bank, as a member of Visa USA, received 51,404 unrestricted shares of Visa, Inc. Class B common stock in connection with Visa, Inc.’s initial public offering in 2007 and a related retroactive responsibility plan. The retroactive responsibility plan obligates all former Visa USA members to indemnify Visa USA, in proportion to their equity interests in Visa USA, for certain litigation losses and expenses, including settlement expenses, for the lawsuits covered by the retrospective responsibility plan. Due to the restrictions that the retrospective responsibility plan imposes on the Company’s Visa, Inc. Class B shares, the Company had not recorded the Class B shares as an asset.

The Bank sold 25,702 shares of Visa Class B common stock in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the remaining 25,702 shares of Visa Class B common stock in the first quarter of 2019 and recorded a gain of $ 295,000 .

Nonaccrual loans and impaired loans are defined differently. Some loans may be included in both categories, and some loans may only be included in one category. Nonaccrual loans include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans.

The Company’s reserve for uncollected loan interest was $ 123,000 and $ 81,000 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , respectively. When a loan is on nonaccrual status and the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. Alternatively, when a loan is on nonaccrual status but there is doubt concerning only the ultimate collectability of interest, contractual interest is credited to interest income only when received, under the cash basis method pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 310–10, as applicable. In all cases, the average balances are calculated based on the month–end balances of the financing receivables within the period reported pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 310–10, as applicable.

U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP")

In response to the COVID- 19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act established the Paycheck Protection Program loan, designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. Under the most recently published guidance, the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") will forgive PPP loans if all employee retention criteria are met, and the funds are used for eligible expenses. In the first half of 2020, we allocated approximately $ 11 million to the PPP based on the expected 100% guaranty of the SBA.

The following table presents the PPP activity:

	*Number of loans*		*Originated*		*Balance*

Paycheck protection program loans		300			$	10,907

COVID- 19 Loan Forbearance Programs

Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR") pursuant to US GAAP. In addition, the Revised Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working With Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (“OCC Bulletin 2020 - 50” ) provides more limited circumstances in which a loan modification is not subject to classification as a TDR and also defined the circumstances where the borrower’s loan is reported as current on loan payments. Pursuant to these new capabilities, we developed several loan forbearance programs to assist borrowers with managing cash flows disrupted due to COVID- 19.

Our Apartment and Commercial Real Estate COVID- 19 Qualified Limited Forbearance Agreement permitted borrowers who qualified under Section 4013 of the CARES Act to make an election to pay scheduled interest and escrow payments (if applicable) for a four -month period beginning in April 2020, and pay all deferred principal payments by December 2020.

Our Small Investment Property COVID- 19 Qualified Limited Forbearance Agreement permitted borrowers with loan balances under $750,000 who qualified under Section 4013 of the CARES Act to make an election to pay scheduled interest and escrow payments (if applicable) for a four -month period beginning in April 2020, and pay all deferred principal payments by December 2020. In addition, the borrower could elect to defer the May 2020 loan payment entirely, with all deferred interest amounts due by December 2020 and all deferred principal amounts due by June 30, 2021.

CARES Act Section 4013 and OCC Bulletin 2020 - 35 forbearance agreements are available to qualified commercial loan and commercial finance borrowers, and to commercial equipment lessees.

For residential mortgage and consumer loans, relief under CARES Act Section 4013 or OCC Bulletin 2020 - 35 forbearance agreements are available to qualified borrowers with terms consistent with secondary residential mortgage market standards established by Fannie Mae.

The following table summarizes the loan forbearance modifications at June 30, 2020 :

	*Number of loans*		*Principal Balance*		*Principal Amount Deferred*

Small Investment Property COVID-19 Forbearance Agreement

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company evaluates loan extensions or modifications not qualified under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under OCC Bulletin 2020 - 35 in accordance with FASB ASC 340 - 10 with respect to the classification of the loan as a TDR.

Under ASC 340 - 10, if the Company grants a loan extension or modification to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties for other than an insignificant period of time that includes a below–market interest rate, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance or other concession intended to minimize the economic loss to the Company, the loan extension or loan modification is classified as a TDR. In cases where borrowers are granted new terms that provide for a reduction of either interest or principal then due and payable, management measures any impairment on the restructured loan in the same manner as for impaired loans as noted above.

(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 4 - LOANS RECEIVABLE (continued)

The Company had no TDRs at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 . During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , there were no loans modified and classified as TDRs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , there were no TDR loans that subsequently defaulted within twelve months of their modification.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

To determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including 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 based on credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a monthly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard. Loans categorized as Substandard continue to accrue interest, but exhibit a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. The loans continue to accrue interest because they are well secured and collection of principal and interest is expected within a reasonable time. The risk rating guidance published by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency clarifies that a loan with a well-defined weakness does not have to present a probability of default for the loan to be rated Substandard, and that an individual loan’s loss potential does not have to be distinct for the loan to be rated Substandard.

Nonaccrual. An asset classified Nonaccrual has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered “Pass” rated loans.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk categories of loans by class of loans are as follows:

NOTE 5 - OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Real estate that is acquired through foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned ("OREO") until it is sold. When real estate is acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, it is recorded at its fair value, less the estimated costs of disposal. If the fair value of the property is less than the loan balance, the difference is charged against the allowance for loan losses.

NOTE 6 - LEASES

The Company enters into operating leases in the normal course of business primarily for several of its branch and corporate locations. Leases (Topic 842 ) establishes a right of use model that requires a lessee to record a right of use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Currently the Company is obligated under four non-cancellable operating lease agreements for three branch properties and its corporate office. The leases have varying terms, the longest of which will end in 2032. The Company's lease agreements include options to renew at the Company's discretion. The extensions are not reasonably certain to be exercised; therefore, they were not considered in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. The Company has also elected not to recognize leases with original lease terms of 12 months or less (short-term leases) on the Company's Statement of Financial Condition.

The following table represents the classification of the Company's right of use and lease liabilities:

	*Statement of Financial Condition Location*	*June 30, 2020*			*December 31, 2019*
Operating Lease Right of Use Asset:
Gross carrying amount		$	6,694		$	—
New lease obligation			111			6,694
Accumulated amortization			( 1,288	)		( 848	)
Net carrying value	Other assets	$	5,517		$	5,846

Operating Lease Liabilities:
Right of use lease obligations	Other liabilities	$	5,517		$	5,846

Amortization expense was $ 221,000 and $ 212,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively, and $ 439,000 and $ 424,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 . At June 30, 2020 , the weighted-average remaining lease term for the operating leases was 8.5 years and the weighted-average discount rate used in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was 3.13 %. The Company utilized the FHLB fixed rate advance rate for the term most closely aligning with the remaining lease term.

There were no repurchase agreements and repurchase-to-maturity transactions at June 30, 2020 .

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase were secured by a mortgage-backed security with a carrying amount of $ 2.0 million at December 31, 2019 , As the security's value fluctuates due to market conditions, the Company has no control over the market value. The Company is obligated to promptly transfer additional securities if the market value of the securities falls below the repurchase price, per the agreement.

On April 1, 2020, the Company established a $ 5.0 million unsecured line of credit with a correspondent. Interest is payable at a rate of Prime rate minus 0.75 %. The line of credit will mature on April 1, 2021. The line of credit had no outstanding balance at June 30, 2020 .

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

•

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 company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

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

Impaired loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses 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 independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available for similar loans and collateral underlying such loans. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted in accordance with the allowance policy.

Other real estate owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are updated no less frequently than annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach with data from comparable properties. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Real estate owned properties are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Loans : The exit price observations are obtained from an independent third -party using its proprietary valuation model and methodology and may not reflect actual or prospective market valuations. The valuation is based on the probability of default, loss given default, recovery delay, prepayment, and discount rate assumptions.

While the above estimates are based on management’s judgment of the most appropriate factors, as of the balance sheet date, there is no assurance that the estimated fair values would have been realized if the assets were disposed of or the liabilities settled at that date, since market values may differ depending on the various circumstances. The estimated fair values would also not apply to subsequent dates.

In addition, other assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments, such as premises and equipment, are not included in the above disclosures.

)} Not within the scope of ASC 606

A description of the Company's revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

Deposit service charges and fees: The Company earns fees from its deposit customers based on specific types of transactions, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.

Interchange income: The Company earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through the Visa payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Interchange income is included in deposit service charges and fees. Interchange income was $ 343,000 and $ 401,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 . Interchange income was $ 694,000 and $ 762,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 .

Trust and insurance commissions and annuities income: The Company earns trust, insurance commissions and annuities income from its contracts with trust customers to manage assets for investment, and/or to transact on their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of assets under management (AUM) at month-end. Fees that are transaction based, including trade execution services, are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed, i.e ., the trade date. Other related services provided include fees the Company earns, which are based on a fixed fee schedule, are recognized when the services are rendered.

Gains/losses on sales of OREO and other assets: The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO and other assets when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present. OREO sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were not financed by the Bank.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Forward Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains, and other periodic and current reports, press releases and other public stockholder communications of BankFinancial Corporation may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve significant risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to our future plans, strategies and expectations, as well as our future revenues, earnings, losses, financial performance, financial condition, asset quality metrics and future prospects. Forward looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “preliminary,” “project,” “plan,” or similar expressions. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date made. They are frequently based on assumptions that may or may not materialize, and are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements. We intend all forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for the purpose of invoking these safe harbor provisions.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected and which could materially and adversely affect our operating results, financial condition or future prospects include, but are not limited to: (i) less than anticipated loan growth due to intense competition for loans and leases, particularly in terms of pricing and credit underwriting, or a dearth of borrowers who meet our underwriting standards; (ii) the impact of re-pricing and competitors’ pricing initiatives on loan and deposit products; (iii) interest rate movements and their impact on the economy, customer behavior and our net interest margin; (iv) adverse economic conditions in general, or specific events such as a pandemic or terrorism, and in the markets in which we lend that could result in increased delinquencies in our loan portfolio or a decline in the value of our investment securities and the collateral for our loans; (v) declines in real estate values that adversely impact the value of our loan collateral, OREO, asset dispositions and the level of borrower equity in their investments; (vi) borrowers that experience legal or financial difficulties that we do not currently foresee; (vii) results of supervisory monitoring or examinations by regulatory authorities, including the possibility that a regulatory authority could, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses or adversely change our loan classifications, write-down assets, reduce credit concentrations or maintain specific capital levels; (viii) changes, disruptions or illiquidity in national or global financial markets; (ix) the credit risks of lending activities, including risks that could cause changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and charge-offs or changes in estimates relating to the computation of our allowance for loan losses; (x) monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; (xi) factors affecting our ability to access deposits or cost-effective funding, and the impact of competitors' pricing initiatives on our deposit products; (xii) legislative or regulatory changes, that have an adverse impact on our products, services, operations and operating expenses; (xiii) higher federal deposit insurance premiums; (xiv) higher than expected overhead, infrastructure and compliance costs; (xv) changes in accounting or tax principles, policies or guidelines; (xvi) the effects of any federal government shutdown; and (xvii) privacy and cybersecurity risks, including the risks of business interruption and the compromise of confidential customer information resulting from intrusions.

These risks and uncertainties, together with the Risk Factors and other information set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as well as Part II, Items 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other filings we make with the SEC, should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement in the future, or to reflect circumstances and events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement was made.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the most critical accounting policies upon which our financial condition and results of operation depend, and which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, are included in the discussion entitled “Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC.

Overview

At June 30, 2020, the Company continued to be in a strong financial and operational condition. The Company had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.06% and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 17.03%. Our ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.16% and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.12%. The Company’s subsidiary, BankFinancial NA, had 26.7% of total assets in cash deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank and other insured depository institutions. We believe the Company is appropriately positioned for the foreseeable economic and social consequences of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Pandemic Operational Status

On March 24, 2020, we limited branch lobby service to appointment-only, and implemented new capabilities to execute lobby transactions electronically or via our drive-in facilities. Due to continued declines in customer traffic, we temporarily closed three branch offices on April 13, 2020 and consolidated service into reasonably proximate larger branch offices. All business functions continue to be operational.

During the second quarter of 2020, we deployed new technological capabilities for branch transaction processing; we are now capable of executing branch transactions on a contactless basis except for cash and check cashing transactions, and safe deposit box access.

Beginning in late July 2020, we expect to restore walk-in branch service hours for limited periods and modestly expand drive-in hours for certain branch offices to accommodate customer service needs at peak periods. We implemented enhanced health safety protocols in all branch facilities for which we expect to restore walk-in branch services.

Loan Composition & Activity

Our loan portfolio continues to benefit from its inherent diversity of credit exposures and geographic distribution. Consistent with our long-standing asset allocation principles, we have no material exposure to the hospitality (hotels or restaurants/franchises), oil and gas production, or travel/leisure industries. We have no exposure to direct construction lending or leveraged loans. We have limited exposure to residential mortgage and consumer loans. Our principle of lending based on “essential-use” assets and industries, such as affordable multi-family housing, health care and within a broadly-diversified range of large corporations and governments, has so far resulted in a loan portfolio that could prove to be resilient in terms of asset quality performance.

In the second quarter of 2020, total loans declined by $65.4 million (5.7%) compared to the first quarter of 2020. Commercial loan and finance balances decreased by $31.4 million (19.9%) primarily due to a $42.2 million (77.1%) reduction in line of credit usage by health-care providers, partially offset by seasonal growth in regional commercial lending and line of credit usage by equipment lessors. Health-care providers received substantial additional liquidity from Medicare reimbursement advances and other sources, and some borrowers chose to pay down credit exposures to the maximum extent possible. Multi-family mortgage loans decreased by $5.8 million (1.1%) primarily due to scheduled principal amortization. Nonresidential real estate mortgage loans declined by $5.9 million (4.4%) primarily due to prepayment activity related to project sales and external refinance activity. Our commercial equipment lease and commercial finance portfolio declined by $18.1 million (6.8%) primarily due to reduced origination volumes related to COVID-19 impacts on equipment delivery and installations to lessees.

U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)

We originated 305 loans for $11 million pursuant to the U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in the second quarter of 2020; of these, we had 300 loans with $10.9 million in outstanding principal balance as of June 30, 2020. The Bank focused its PPP loan origination capabilities on new and existing small business deposit customers, resulting in an average loan origination amount of $36,144.

Due to the uncertainties concerning the PPP, borrower demand for PPP loans declined each month during the second quarter of 2020, with 229 loans originated in May 2020 and 25 loans originated in June 2020. In anticipation of further extensions and enhancements to the PPP, we implemented a technology solution to automate the processing of PPP loans. We also implemented a technology solution to automate the processing of requests for forgiveness of PPP loans not forgiven by operation of law.

COVID-19 Loan Forbearance Programs

Section 4013 of the CARES Act provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a Troubled Debt Restructuring pursuant to US GAAP. In addition, OCC Bulletin 2020-35 provides more limited circumstances in which a loan modification is not subject to classification as a Troubled Debt Restructuring. Pursuant to these new capabilities, we developed several loan forbearance programs to assist borrowers with managing cash flows disrupted due to COVID-19.

Our Apartment and Commercial Real Estate Qualified Limited Forbearance Program permitted borrowers who qualify under Section 4013 of the CARES Act to make an election to pay scheduled interest and escrow payments (if applicable) for a four-month period beginning in April 2020, and pay all deferred principal payments by December 2020. As of June 30, 2020, 100 borrowers with $94.0 million in outstanding loan principal balances executed a Qualified Limited Forbearance Program agreement. At June 30, 2020, all but two borrowers were current on all required forbearance payments; those borrowers made the required payments shortly after the end of the second quarter of 2020.

For small investment property owners with loan balances under $750,000, borrowers were also able to defer the May 2020 loan payment entirely, with all deferred interest amounts due by December 2020 and all deferred principal amounts due by June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2020, 41 borrowers with $14.3 million in outstanding principal balances executed a Small Investment Property Limited Forbearance Program agreement. At June 30, 2020, all but one borrower was current on all required forbearance payments; the remaining borrower made the required payment shortly after the end of the second quarter of 2020.

Relief under CARES Act Section 4013 and OCC Bulletin 2020-35 forbearance agreements may be available to qualified commercial loan and commercial finance borrowers, and to commercial equipment lessees. As of June 30, 2020, we had no commercial loan borrowers subject to any form of forbearance agreement. As of June 30, 2020, there were seven commercial equipment lessees with $5.9 million in outstanding principal balances subject to a forbearance agreement. As of June 30, 2020, all but one of the lessees were current on all required payments; the remaining lessee made the required payments shortly after the end of the second quarter of 2020. One lessee with $449,000 in outstanding principal balance was subject to a forbearance agreement other than our standard Qualified Limited Forbearance Agreement.

For residential mortgage and consumer loans, relief under CARES Act Section 4013 or OCC Bulletin 2020-35 forbearance agreements is available to qualified borrowers. As of June 30, 2020, we had 10 borrowers with $1.3 million in outstanding principal balances subject to a forbearance agreement with terms consistent with secondary residential mortgage market standards established by Fannie Mae. Due to the continuing widespread impact of COVID-19 in the State of Illinois, we expect that additional residential loan borrowers will seek loan forbearance or loan modification agreements in and after the third quarter of 2020.

Asset Quality

Our non-performing loans to total loans ratio was 0.16% as of June 30, 2020. Due in part to disruptions in payment processing related to COVID-19, we placed three lessees with a total exposure of $833,000 on non-accrual status in the second quarter of 2020; of these, we received payments subsequent to June 30, 2020 from two with a total exposure of $526,000 sufficient to repay the exposures in full or restore the lessee to current payment status. Past due loan balances, including payments due on any loan or leases subject to a forbearance agreement, continued to remain nominal; however, these trends could change based on the pace of economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and based on any further fiscal stimulus, if any, from the U.S. Government in future quarters.

Allowance for Losses on Loans and Leases Reserve

Our allowance for losses on loans and leases reserve increased by $44,000, as increases in reserve ratios for multi-family residential real estate loans and commercial real estate loans were more than offset by the recovery of reserves from the overall reduction in outstanding loan principal balance during the second quarter of 2020. The $31.4 million decline in commercial loans and finance balances during the second quarter of 2020 resulted in a $213,000 reduction in required reserve at June 30, 2020. We estimate that if our loan portfolio balances and composition remained constant during the second quarter of 2020 from the first quarter of 2020, a $455,000 additional provision for loan loss reserve would have been indicated for the second quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the required reserve ratios for multi-family residential real estate loans and commercial real estate loans increased by 19.6%, and 43.8%, respectively, compared to December 31, 2019.

If our loan balances increase as business and liquidity conditions normalize for our health care borrowers, and if equipment finance and commercial loan and finance originations return to their expected levels, we expect that we will experience additional increases to the allowance for loans and leases reserve. Additionally, should economic conditions worsen due to the broad impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, further increases in required reserve ratios for certain loan types may also require an increase in the allowance for loans and leases reserve.

Deposit Portfolio Composition & Activity

Our deposit portfolio composition consists almost entirely of core transaction accounts, with local retail and business money market deposit accounts, and local retail certificates of deposit accounts. In the second quarter of 2020, total deposits increased by $134.4 million (10.7%), net of a $16.3 million reduction in wholesale deposit balances, primarily due to the impacts of multiple COVID-19 U.S. Government fiscal stimulus programs. We also note that the delays enacted for federal and state tax reporting and remittances also deferred seasonal deposit withdrawal activity typical for the second quarter of each calendar year. For the remainder of 2020, we expect greater volatility in deposit balances, as various forms of government stimulus provide additional liquidity to depositors, but in most cases this liquidity may also be consumed to pay current or past due obligations. Given our substantial liquidity, we will maintain a moderate competitive posture for interest-bearing deposits, with pricing flexibility reserved for our most valuable overall deposit relationships.

Net Interest Income and Noninterest Income

The abrupt decline in interest rates during the first quarter of 2020 not only reduced interest income on floating-rate commercial loans and liquidity assets, but it also reduced competitive pressures and depositor expectations concerning deposit interest rates. Because of the need to maintain higher levels of liquidity and delays in business investment activity due to COVID-19 disruptions, some further compression of our net interest margin is foreseeable in the next two quarters, but a sustained recovery in business conditions should enable us to deploy our additional asset generation resources and thus reallocate some of our excess liquidity.

The average yield on our loan and lease portfolio for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was 4.57%, compared to an average loan and lease portfolio yield of 4.72% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The average cost of retail and commercial deposits decreased to 0.63% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to an average cost of 0.93% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The average cost of wholesale deposits and borrowings declined to 2.35% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Our net interest margin decreased to 3.09% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to 3.44% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Noninterest income declined in the second quarter of 2020 due to the impact of “Stay-At-Home” orders on the use of card-based payments for retail sales and on commercial mortgage brokerage activity. Changes in the market return of trust assets caused a modest reduction in wealth management and trust income. The abrupt change in market interest rates reduced income on our Bank-Owned Life Insurance portfolio. For the second quarter of 2020, noninterest income was $1.2 million, compared to $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2020.

The substantial changes in commercial real estate market expectations will diminish transaction activity and credit availability for higher-leverage transactions typically financed by capital markets sources. The extreme volatility of equity markets similarly induces caution on the part of wealth management and trust customers, who became far more risk-averse as the scope and severity of the COVID-19 global pandemic expanded during the second quarter of 2020. We expect to see gradual improvement in these market-based opportunities commensurate with the reduction of uncertainties in commercial real estate and corporate earnings and asset valuations.

Noninterest Expense

Current market conditions favor a focus on expense reductions where feasible; however, our Business Plan requires investment in personnel and marketing resources to achieve our growth objectives in our loan and lease portfolios, and noninterest income for Commercial Mortgage Banking and Trust Services. Accordingly, we will seek to leverage cost savings from improved efficiencies in customer service delivery and reduction of legacy card-based transaction assets such as ATM/Debit cards and machines to help offset declines in interest income, and preserve our ability to realize our business generation priorities.

Noninterest expense declined to $9.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Compensation and benefits declined by $350,000, net of a $100,000 accrual for special performance compensation related to COVID-19 risk management and customer service activities. Information technology expenses increased modestly due to improvements in our information security and network capacities; we expect some of these expenses to decline as we terminate existing parallel service agreements upon full implementation of new capabilities. Despite increased expenses for health safety and other COVID-19 protections and responses, other expenses remained well-contained, as we curtailed marketing expenses and other discretionary expenses to improve efficiencies.

Capital Management

The sharp reduction in the Company’s share price to below tangible book value should create an opportunity to enhance shareholder value through highly accretive share repurchases, absent the imposition of regulatory limitations or the existence of higher priority- capital needs. We also intend to continue to consider potential acquisition opportunities that meet our established parameters, if executable under current market conditions.

We repurchased 181,640 shares of the Company's common stock at an average cost of $8.12 per share during the second quarter of 2020. Our tangible book value increased to $11.58 from $11.48 as of June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020, we had 155,127 shares available for repurchase under the Board's current share repurchase program.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019

Total assets increased $ 105.1 million, or 7.1%, to $ 1.593 billion at June 30, 2020, from $ 1.488 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents, which was partially offset by a decrease in loans receivable. Cash and cash equivalents increased $ 194.4 million, or 102.2%, to $ 384.8 million at June 30, 2020, from $ 190.3 million at December 31, 2019. Loans decreased $ 86.2 million, or 7.4%, to $ 1.082 billion at June 30, 2020, from $ 1.168 billion at December 31, 2019.

Our loan portfolio consists primarily of investment and business loans (multi-family, nonresidential real estate, commercial, and commercial leases), which together totaled 95.3% of gross loans at June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, multi-family loans decreased by $ 27.1 million, or 4.8%; commercial loans decreased by $ 19.1 million, or 13.1%; commercial leases decreased $ 24.6 million, or 9.0%; and nonresidential real estate loans decreased $ 7.1 million, or 5.3%. The decrease in multi-family loans was primarily due to a significant amount of loan prepayments.

Our primary lending area consists of the counties in the State of Illinois where our branch offices are located, and contiguous counties. We derive the most significant portion of our revenues from these geographic areas. We also engage in multi-family mortgage lending activities in carefully selected metropolitan areas outside our primary lending area and engage in certain types of commercial lending and leasing activities on a nationwide basis. At June 30, 2020, $228.7 million, or 42.6%, of our multi-family mortgage loans were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for Chicago, Illinois; $71.2 million, or 13.3%, were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for Dallas, Texas; $44.6 million, or 8.3%, were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for Denver, Colorado; $30.1 million, or 5.6%, were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for Tampa, Florida; $29.1 million, or 5.4%, were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina; $21.5 million, or 4.0%, were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for San Antonio, Texas; and $19.2 million, or 3.6%, were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for Minneapolis, Minnesota. This information reflects the location of the collateral and does not necessarily reflect the location of the borrower.

Total liabilities increased $ 107.0 million, or 8.1%, to $ 1.421 billion at June 30, 2020, from $ 1.314 billion at December 31, 2019, primarily due to an increase in total deposits. Total deposits increased $ 103.4 million, or 8.0%, to $ 1.388 billion at June 30, 2020, from $ 1.285 billion at December 31, 2019. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $94.3 million, or 44.8%, to $ 305.1 million at June 30, 2020, from $ 210.8 million at December 31, 2019 and interest-bearing NOW accounts increased $33.5 million, or 12.2%, to $ 306.6 million at June 30, 2020, from $ 273.2 million at December 31, 2019. Money market accounts increased $22.5 million, or 9.2%, to $ 268.1 million at June 30, 2020, from $ 245.6 million at December 31, 2019. Savings accounts increased $14.4 million, or 9.4%, to $ 167.6 million at June 30, 2020, from $ 153.2 million at December 31, 2019. Retail certificates of deposit decreased $33.0 million, or 9.8%, to $ 304.0 million at June 30, 2020, from $ 336.9 million at December 31, 2019. Wholesale certificates of deposit decreased $28.3 million, or 43.5%, to $ 36.7 million at June 30, 2020, from $ 65.1 million at December 31, 2019. Core deposits (which consists of savings, money market, noninterest-bearing demand and NOW accounts) represented 75.5% of total deposits at June 30, 2020, compared to 68.7% at December 31, 2019. Borrowings increased $3.9 million in May 2020, the Bank borrowed $4.0 million from the FHLB at zero percent interest rate for a one year term.

Total stockholders’ equity was $ 172.5 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $ 174.4 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease in total stockholders’ equity was primarily due to our repurchase of 387,836 shares of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2020 at a total cost of $ 3.7 million and our declaration and payment of cash dividends totaling $ 3.0 million during the same period. These reductions in total stockholders’ equity were partially offset by the net income of $ 4.8 million that the Company recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

Net Income. Net income was $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $807,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Earnings per basic and fully diluted share of common stock were $0.16 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $0.05 for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Net Interest Income . Net interest income was $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net interest income reflected a $3.3 million, or 20.1%, decrease in interest income, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in interest expense.

The decrease in interest income was due in substantial part to a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in total average interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 94 basis points to 3.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from 4.54% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 54 basis points to 0.70% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from 1.24% for the same period in 2019. Total average interest-earning assets increased $17.7 million, or 1.2%, to $1.476 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from $1.458 billion for the same period in 2019. Total average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $39.7 million, or 3.6%, to $1.068 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from $1.108 billion for the same period in 2019. Our net interest rate spread decreased by 40 basis point to 2.90% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from 3.30% for the same period in 2019. Our net interest margin decreased by 51 basis points to 3.09% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from 3.60% for the same period in 2019.

Average Balance Sheets

The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect of these adjustments would not be material. Average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans are 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 and expenses and discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

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 probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, we consider past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of nonperforming and other classified loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or events change. We assess the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and make provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance.

A loan balance is classified as a loss and charged-off when it is confirmed that there is no readily apparent source of repayment for the portion of the loan that is classified as loss. Confirmation can occur upon the receipt of updated third-party appraisal valuation information indicating that there is a low probability of repayment upon sale of the collateral, the final disposition of collateral where the net proceeds are insufficient to pay the loan balance in full, our failure to obtain possession of certain consumer-loan collateral within certain time limits specified by applicable federal regulations, the conclusion of legal proceedings where the borrower’s obligation to repay is legally discharged (such as a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding), or when it appears that further formal collection procedures are not likely to result in net proceeds in excess of the costs to collect.

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $42,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a provision of $4.0 million for the same period in 2019. The provision for, or recovery of, loan losses is a function of the allowance for loan loss methodology that we use to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for inherent loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted. The portion of the allowance for loan losses that is attributable to loans collectively evaluated for impairment increased $44,000, or 0.5%, to $8.2 million at June 30, 2020 from $8.1 million at March 31, 2020. There were no reserves established for loans individually evaluated for impairment for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Net recoveries were $2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net charge-offs of $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

The decrease in net charge-offs and provision for loan losses were primarily due to the fact that our operating results for the three months ending June 30, 2019 included a $4.4 million loss on the sale of a Chicago commercial credit exposure that experienced an unexpected deterioration in the second quarter of 2019. The sold loans were originated in 2016 to two affiliated wholesale fuel distributors. The loans were secured by accounts receivable and supplemental real estate collateral and were personally guaranteed by the borrowers’ principals. In the second quarter of 2019, we learned that one of the borrowers failed to make excise tax payments in violation of its agreements with the State of Illinois, that a tax performance bond that was a condition to the borrower’s continued ability to operate as a wholesale fuel distributor in the State of Illinois would not be renewed by the borrower’s insurer, and that the borrower had apparently altered its collection procedures and cash management practices in ways that appeared to make it necessary for us to institute litigation to gain control of and collect the proceeds of the accounts receivable collateral. We evaluated these and other factors, including the risks to the borrower’s ability to continue to operate as a going concern, and concluded that a sale of the loans at a discount was a superior alternative to initiating potentially costly and protracted litigation, the outcome of which could not be predicted with reasonable certainty.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 457.43 at June 30, 2020, compared to 1061.78 at March 31, 2020 and 901.06 at December 31, 2019.

Noninterest expense decreased by $223,000, or 2.4%, to $ 9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from $ 9.5 million for the same period in 2019. Office occupancy and equipment expense increased $99,000, or 6.1%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from $1.6 million for the same period in 2019, due in substantial part to an $82,000 increase in real estate taxes and increases in office building expense, rent expense and technology equipment upgrade expenses. Information technology expense increased $55,000, or 7.3%, to $808,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from $753,000 for the same period in 2019, primarily due to system upgrades and cybersecurity prevention expenses. Professional fees increased $52,000, or 21.9%, to $289,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from $237,000 for the same period in 2019, due in substantial part to a $52,000 increase in trust consulting fees for investment management services. FDIC insurance premiums decreased $44,000, or 30.1%, to $102,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $146,000 for the same period in 2019, due to the receipt of the FDIC's small bank assessment credit in third quarter 2019. Other expenses decreased $233,000, or 25.4%, to $686,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from $919,000 for the same period in 2019, due in substantial part to the reversal of a $116,000 reserve established for the open letters of credit related to a loan charge-off that was recorded in the second quarter of 2019. Supplies and office occupancy expense included $104,000 in expenses related to civil unrest and COVID-19 for additional cleaning and sanitation costs that were incurred for infection control and prevention.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $845,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $293,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our combined state and federal effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 26.4% versus an effective tax rate of 26.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

Net Income. We had net income of $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Earnings per basic and fully diluted share of common stock were $0.32 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $0.28 per basic and fully diluted share for the same period in 2019.

Net Interest Income . Net interest income was $23.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $26.3 million for the same period in 2019. The $3.0 million decrease in net interest income reflected a $5.2 million, or 15.7%, decrease in interest income, partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in interest expense.

The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in total average interest-earning assets. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 64 basis points, or 14.1%, to 3.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from 4.54% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 36 basis points to 0.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from 1.22% for the same period in 2019. Total average interest-earning assets decreased $30.6 million, or 2.1%, to $1.438 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $1.468 billion for the same period in 2019. Our net interest rate spread decreased 28 basis points to 3.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from 3.32% for the same period in 2019. Our net interest margin decreased by 36 basis points to 3.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from 3.62% for the same period in 2019.

Provision for Loan Losses

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $513,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a provision for loan losses of $3.9 million for the same period in 2019. The portion of the allowance for loan losses attributable to loans collectively evaluated for impairment increased $524,000, or 6.9%, to $8.2 million at June 30, 2020, from $7.6 million at December 31, 2019. There were no reserves established for loans individually evaluated for impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Net recoveries were $11,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net charge-offs of $4.5 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in net charge-offs and provision for loan losses were primarily due to the fact that our operating results for the six months ending June 30, 2019 included a $4.4 million loss on the sale of a Chicago commercial credit exposure that experienced an unexpected deterioration in the second quarter of 2019.

Noninterest expense decreased by $693,000, or 3.5%, to $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $19.6 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in noninterest expense is due in substantial part to decreases in compensation and benefits, FDIC insurance premiums and other noninterest expense, offset in part by an increase in information technology expense. Compensation and benefits expense decreased $224,000, or 2.1%, partially due to a decrease in full-time equivalent employees to 199 at June 30, 2020 from 231 at June 30, 2019. Office occupancy and equipment expense increased $54,000, or 1.6%, to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, due in substantial part to a $131,000 increase in real estate taxes for Bank properties, as well as an increase of $78,000 in equipment upgrade expenses, offset in part by a $156,000 decrease in snow removal expense. Information technology expense increased $213,000, or 14.6%, to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to system upgrades and cybersecurity prevention expenses. FDIC insurance premiums decreased $118,000, or 46.5%, to $136,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $254,000 for the same period in 2019, due to the receipt of the FDIC's small bank assessment credit in third quarter 2019. Other expenses decreased $383,000, or 21.8%, to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $1.8 million for the same period in 2019, due in substantial part to the reversal of a $116,000 reserve established for the open letters of credit related to a loan charge-off that was recorded in the second quarter 2019. Supplies and office occupancy expense included $122,000 in expenses related to civil unrest and COVID-19 for additional cleaning and sanitation costs that were incurred for infection control and prevention.

Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $1.7 million of income tax expense, compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 26.2%, compared to 26.5% for the same period in 2019.

Nonperforming Loans and Assets

We review loans on a regular basis, and generally place loans on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. In addition, we place loans on nonaccrual status when we do not expect to receive full payment of interest or principal. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are recognized in accordance with our significant accounting policies. Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the borrower must generally demonstrate at least six consecutive months of contractual payment performance before the loan is eligible to return to accrual status. We may have loans classified as 90 days or more delinquent and still accruing. Generally, we do not utilize this category of loan classification unless: (1) the loan is repaid in full shortly after the period end date; (2) the loan is well secured and there are no asserted or pending legal barriers to its collection; or (3) the borrower has remitted all scheduled payments and is otherwise in substantial compliance with the terms of the loan, but the processing of loan payments actually received or the renewal of the loan has not occurred for administrative reasons. At June 30, 2020, we had no loans in this category.

We typically obtain new third–party appraisals or collateral valuations when we place a loan on nonaccrual status, conduct impairment testing or conduct a TDR analysis unless the existing valuation information for the collateral is sufficiently current to comply with the requirements of our Appraisal and Collateral Valuation Policy (“ACV Policy”). We also obtain new third–party appraisals or collateral valuations when the judicial foreclosure process concludes with respect to real estate collateral, and when we otherwise acquire actual or constructive title to real estate collateral. In addition to third–party appraisals, we use updated valuation information based on Multiple Listing Service data, broker opinions of value, actual sales prices of similar assets sold by us and approved sales prices in response to offers to purchase similar assets owned by us to provide interim valuation information for consolidated financial statement and management purposes. Our ACV Policy establishes the maximum useful life of a real estate appraisal at 18 months. Because appraisals and updated valuations utilize historical or “ask–side” data in reaching valuation conclusions, the appraised or updated valuation may or may not reflect the actual sales price that we will receive at the time of sale.

Real estate appraisals may include up to three approaches to value: the sales comparison approach, the income approach (for income-producing property) and the cost approach. Not all appraisals utilize all three approaches. Depending on the nature of the collateral and market conditions, we may emphasize one approach over another in determining the fair value of real estate collateral. Appraisals may also contain different estimates of value based on the level of occupancy or planned future improvements. “As-is” valuations represent an estimate of value based on current market conditions with no changes to the use or condition of the real estate collateral. “As-stabilized” or “as-completed” valuations assume the real estate collateral will be improved to a stated standard or achieve its highest and best use in terms of occupancy. “As-stabilized” or “as-completed” valuations may be subject to a present value adjustment for market conditions or the schedule of improvements.

As part of the asset classification process, we develop an exit strategy for real estate collateral or OREO by assessing overall market conditions, the current use and condition of the asset, and its highest and best use. For most income–producing real estate, we believe that investors value most highly a stable income stream from the asset; consequently, we perform a comparative evaluation to determine whether conducting a sale on an “as–is,” “as–stabilized” or “as–completed” basis is most likely to produce the highest net realizable value. If we determine that the “as–stabilized” or “as–completed” basis is appropriate, we then complete the necessary improvements or tenant stabilization tasks, with the applicable time value discount and improvement expenses incorporated into our estimates of the expected costs to sell. As of June 30, 2020, substantially all impaired real estate loan collateral and OREO were valued on an “as–is basis.”

Estimates of the net realizable value of real estate collateral also include a deduction for the expected costs to sell the collateral or such other deductions from the cash flows resulting from the operation and liquidation of the asset as are appropriate. For most real estate collateral subject to the judicial foreclosure process, we generally apply a 10.0% deduction to the value of the asset to determine the expected costs to sell the asset. This estimate includes one year of real estate taxes, sales commissions and miscellaneous repair and closing costs. If we receive a purchase offer that requires unbudgeted repairs, or if the expected resolution period for the asset exceeds one year, we then include, on a case-by-case basis, the costs of the additional real estate taxes and repairs and any other material holding costs in the expected costs to sell the collateral. For OREO, we generally apply a 7.0% deduction to determine the expected costs to sell, as expenses for real estate taxes and repairs are expensed when incurred.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets increased $893,000 to $1.9 million at June 30, 2020, from $1.0 million at December 31, 2019. Due in part to disruptions in payment processing related to COVID-19, we placed three lessees with a total exposure of $833,000 on non-accrual status in the second quarter of 2020; of these, we received payments subsequent to June 30, 2020 from two with a total exposure of $526,000 sufficient to repay the exposures in full or restore the lessee to current payment status. One residential loan with a book balance of $33,000 was transferred from nonaccrual loans to OREO during the six months ended June 30, 2020. We continue to experience modest quantities of defaults on residential real estate loans principally due either to the borrower’s personal financial condition or deteriorated collateral value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. The overall objective of our liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash funds to meet all financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. We manage liquidity in order to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.

Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and, to a lesser extent, wholesale borrowings, the proceeds from maturing securities and short-term investments, the sales of loans and securities and lease payments. The scheduled amortization of loans and securities, as well as proceeds from borrowings, are predictable sources of funds. Other funding sources, however, such as deposit inflows, mortgage prepayments and mortgage loan sales are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments and lines of credit and maturing certificates of deposit that are not renewed or extended. We generally remain fully invested and utilize FHLB advances as an additional source of funds. We had $4.0 million of FHLB advances outstanding at June 30, 2020 and none at December 31, 2019.

The Company is a separate legal entity from BankFinancial, NA. The Company must provide for its own liquidity to pay any dividends to its shareholders and to repurchase shares of its common stock, and for other corporate purposes. The Company's primary source of liquidity is dividend payments it receives from the Bank. The Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company is subject to regulatory limitations. At June 30, 2020, the Company (on an unconsolidated, stand-alone basis) had liquid assets of $6.8 million. On April 1, 2020, the Company entered into a $5.0 million unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank at the parent company level. Interest is payable at a rate of Prime rate minus 0.75%. The line of credit will mature on April 1, 2021.

As of June 30, 2020, we were not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that had or were reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on our liquidity. As of June 30, 2020, we had no other material commitments for capital expenditures.

Capital Management - Bank. The overall objectives of our capital management are to ensure the availability of sufficient capital to support loan, deposit and other asset and liability growth opportunities and to maintain sufficient capital to absorb unforeseen losses or write-downs that are inherent in the business risks associated with the banking industry. We seek to balance the need for higher capital levels to address such unforeseen risks and the goal to achieve an adequate return on the capital invested by our stockholders.

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. The capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations, involve the quantitative measurement 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. The failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in regulatory actions. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective in 2015. The net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital.

In addition, as a result of the legislation, the federal banking agencies developed a “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (the ratio of a bank’s tangible equity capital to average total consolidated assets) for financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion. A “qualifying community bank” that exceeds this ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under Prompt Corrective Action statutes. The federal banking agencies may consider a financial institution’s risk profile when evaluating whether it qualifies as a community bank for purposes of the capital ratio requirement. The federal banking agencies must set the minimum capital for the new Community Bank Leverage Ratio at not less than 8% and not more than 10%. Beginning in the second quarter 2020 and until the end of the year, a banking organization that has a leverage ratio of 8% or greater and meets certain other criteria may elect to use the Community Bank Leverage Ratio framework; and qualified community banks will have until January 1, 2022, before the Community Bank Leverage Ratio requirement is re-established at greater than 9%. Pursuant to Section 4012 of the CARES Act and related interim final rules, the Community Bank Leverage Ratio will be 8% beginning in the second quarter and for the remainder of calendar year 2020, 8.5% for calendar year 2021, and 9% thereafter. A financial institution can elect to be subject to this new definition, and opt-out of this new definition, at any time. As a qualified community bank, we elected to be subject to this definition beginning the second quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Bank's Community Bank Leverage Ratio was 10.54%.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.

Table of Contents

The minimum capital ratios set forth in the Regulatory Capital Plans will be increased and other minimum capital requirements will be established if and as necessary. In accordance with the Regulatory Capital Plans, the Bank will not pursue any acquisition or growth opportunity, declare any dividend or conduct any stock repurchase that would cause the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio and/or its Tier 1 leverage ratio to fall below the established minimum capital levels or the capital levels required for capital adequacy plus the CCB. The minimum CCB is 2.5%.

As of June 30, 2020, the Bank was well-capitalized, with all capital ratios exceeding the well-capitalized requirement. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the Bank’s prompt corrective action capitalization category.

The Bank is subject to regulatory restrictions on the amount of dividends it may declare and pay to the Company without prior regulatory approval, and to regulatory notification requirements for dividends that do not require prior regulatory approval.

Actual and required capital amounts and ratios for the Bank were:

	Actual					Required for Capital Adequacy Purposes					To be Well-Capitalized under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions

Quarterly Cash Dividends. The Company declared cash dividends of $0.20 per share for both of the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Qualitative Analysis. A significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results from timing differences in the maturity or repricing of our assets, liabilities and off balance sheet contracts ( i.e., forward loan commitments), the effect of loan prepayments and deposit withdrawals, the difference in the behavior of lending and funding rates arising from the use of different indices and “yield curve risk” arising from changing rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities for constant or variable credit risk investments. In addition to directly affecting net interest income, changes in market interest rates can also affect the amount of new loan originations, the ability of borrowers to repay variable rate loans, the volume of loan prepayments and refinancings, the carrying value of investment securities classified as available-for-sale and the flow and mix of deposits.

The general objective of our interest rate risk management is to determine the appropriate level of risk given our business strategy and then manage that risk in a manner that is consistent with our policy to reduce, to the extent possible, the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which consists of certain members of senior management, evaluates the interest rate risk inherent in certain assets and liabilities, our operating environment and capital and liquidity requirements, and modifies our lending, investing and deposit gathering strategies accordingly. The Board of Directors then reviews the ALCO’s activities and strategies, the effect of those strategies on our net interest margin, and the effect that changes in market interest rates would have on the economic value of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the intrinsic value of our deposits and borrowings, and reports to the full Board of Directors.

Table of Contents

We actively evaluate interest rate risk in connection with our lending, investing and deposit activities. In an effort to better manage interest rate risk, we have de-emphasized the origination of residential mortgage loans, and have increased our emphasis on the origination of nonresidential real estate loans, multi-family mortgage loans, commercial loans and commercial leases. In addition, depending on market interest rates and our capital and liquidity position, we generally sell all or a portion of our longer-term, fixed-rate residential loans, usually on a servicing-retained basis. Further, we primarily invest in shorter-duration securities, which generally have lower yields compared to longer-term investments. Shortening the average maturity of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term loans and securities, as well as loans with variable rates of interest, 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. Finally, we have classified all of our investment portfolio as available-for-sale so as to provide flexibility in liquidity management.

We utilize a combination of analyses to monitor the Bank’s exposure to changes in interest rates. The economic value of equity analysis is a model that estimates the change in net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet contracts. In calculating changes in NPV, we assume estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates that seem most likely based on historical experience during prior interest rate changes.

Our net interest income analysis utilizes the data derived from the dynamic GAP analysis, described below, and applies several additional elements, including actual interest rate indices and margins, contractual limitations such as interest rate floors and caps and the U.S. Treasury yield curve as of the balance sheet date. In addition, we apply consistent parallel yield curve shifts (in both directions) to determine possible changes in net interest income if the theoretical yield curve shifts occurred instantaneously. Net interest income analysis also adjusts the dynamic GAP repricing analysis based on changes in prepayment rates resulting from the parallel yield curve shifts.

Our dynamic GAP analysis determines the relative balance between the repricing of assets and liabilities over multiple periods of time (ranging from overnight to five years). Dynamic GAP analysis includes expected cash flows from loans and mortgage-backed securities, applying prepayment rates based on the differential between the current interest rate and the market interest rate for each loan and security type. This analysis identifies mismatches in the timing of asset and liability repricing but does not necessarily provide an accurate indicator of interest rate risk because it omits the factors incorporated into the net interest income analysis.

Quantitative Analysis. The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2020, the estimated changes in the Bank’s NPV and net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous parallel shift in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. 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.

	Estimated Increase (Decrease) in NPV						Increase (Decrease) in Estimated Net Interest Income
Change in Interest Rates (basis points)	Amount			Percent			Amount			Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
+400	$	(1,742	)		(0.95	)%	$	7,438			17.25	%
+300		359			0.20			5,746			13.32
+200		(1,003	)		(0.55	)		3,813			8.84
+100		(2,780	)		(1.52	)		1,819			4.22
0
-25		(4,405	)		(2.41	)		(659	)		(1.53	)

The table set forth above indicates that at June 30, 2020, in the event of an immediate 25 basis point decrease in interest rates, the Bank would be expected to experience a 2.41% decrease in NPV and a $659,000 decrease in net interest income. In the event of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Bank would be expected to experience a 0.55% decrease in NPV and a $3.8 million increase in net interest income. This data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors, which could reduce the actual impact on NPV and net interest income, if any.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV and net interest income requires that we make certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The NPV and net interest income table presented above assumes that the composition of our interest-rate-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and, accordingly, the data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors. The table also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or the repricing characteristics of specific assets and liabilities. Because of the shortcomings mentioned above, management considers many additional factors such as projected changes in loan and deposit balances and various projected forward interest rate scenarios when evaluating strategies for managing interest rate risk. Accordingly, although the NPV and net interest income table provides an indication of our sensitivity to interest rate changes 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.

In the opinion of management, based on currently available information, 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

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the following risk factor represents material updates and additions to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, to the extent that any of the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitutes forward-looking statements, the risk factor set forth below also is a cautionary statement identifying important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us.

The economic impact of the novel COVID-19 outbreak could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In December, 2019, a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported in China, and in March, 2020, the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. On March 12, 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic disruption in the United States, as many state and local governments imposed Stay-At-Home orders on individuals and closures or restrictions on business operations, which in turn resulted in rapid increases in unemployed and declines in economic activity. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board reduced the benchmark Federal Funds rate to a target rate of 0% to 0.25%, and the yields on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes declined to historic lows. Various federal agencies, state and local governments established moratoria on tenant evictions and mortgage loan foreclosures which limits the timely collection of monthly payments due to landlord and lenders.

The U.S. Congress adopted several fiscal stimulus and regulatory relief measures providing direct support payments to individuals and families, expanded unemployment benefits, and funding the Paycheck Protection Program, a federal loan program to enable businesses to retain workers on private payrolls. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and the related Revised Interagency Guidance adopted by the federal banking agencies on April 7, 2020 also changed the reporting requirements with respect to past due loan payments, non-accrual status, loan classification or Troubled Debt Restructuring status for loan modifications granted pursuant to the CARES Act or the Revised Interagency Guidance. As of July 28, 2020, the U.S. Congress was considering further extensions of some or all of these fiscal stimuli measures, but there is no assurance as to whether any legislation will be adopted, and if adopted, whether the legislation will have a material positive impact in mitigating the negative economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be reopened.

As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:

	●	demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income;
	●	if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income;
	●	collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase;
	●	our allowance for loan losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties beyond forbearance periods, which will adversely affect our net income;
	●	changes to the U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (“the PPP”), including to the Interim Final Rules under which the PPP is administered, with respect to the origination, servicing, or forgiveness of PPP loans, whether now existing or originated in the future, or the terms and conditions of any guaranteed payments due to us from the SBA with respect to PPP loans.
	●	the changes to reporting requirements for loans subject to the CARES Act or the Revised Interagency Guidance of April 7, 2020 could result in reported financial and operational data that would be more favorable than the reporting requirements under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
	●	disruptions to borrower cash flows arising from the reduction or termination of payments by the Federal, state or any local government, arising from or related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including any changes to Federal, state or local governmental fiscal policies due to reductions in tax or user revenues due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
	●	the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us;
	●	as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income;
	●	a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend;
	●	our wealth management and trust revenues may decline with continuing market turmoil;
	●	a prolonged weakness in economic conditions resulting in a reduction of future projected earnings could result in our recording a valuation allowance against our current outstanding deferred tax assets;
	●	we rely on third party vendors for certain services and the unavailability of a critical service due to the COVID-19 outbreak could have an adverse effect on us; and
	●	Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs.

Table of Contents

Moreover, our future success and profitability substantially depends on the management skills of our executive officers and directors, many of whom have held officer and director positions with us for many years. The unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees due to the outbreak could harm our ability to operate our business or execute our business strategy. We may not be successful in finding and integrating suitable successors in the event of key employee loss or unavailability.

Any one or a combination of the factors identified above could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects.
