Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. | Basis of Presentation

The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation (the “Holding Company”), a Delaware corporation, is the operation of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Flushing Bank (the “Bank”).

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) include the collective results of the Holding Company and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the Bank, Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation, Flushing Service Corporation, and FSB Properties Inc., which are collectively herein referred to as “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company.”

The Holding Company also owns Flushing Financial Capital Trust II, Flushing Financial Capital Trust III, and Flushing Financial Capital Trust IV (the “Trusts”), which are special purpose business trusts. The Trusts are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company would not absorb the losses of the Trusts if any losses were to occur.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such presented periods of the Company. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

2. | Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term are used in connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”), the evaluation of goodwill for impairment, the evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance of the Company’s deferred tax assets, the evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on securities and the valuation of certain financial instruments. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these material estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

3. | Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are computed in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the total weighted average number of common shares outstanding, which includes unvested participating securities. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and as such are included in the calculation of earnings per share. The Company’s unvested restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards are considered participating securities. Therefore, weighted average common shares outstanding used for computing basic earnings per common share includes common shares outstanding plus unvested restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes the additional dilutive effect of stock options outstanding and other common stock equivalents during the period. Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share. The numerator for calculating basic and diluted earnings per common share is net income available to common shareholders. The shares held in the Company’s Employee Benefit Trust are not included in shares outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per common share.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, options to purchase 320,200 shares at an average exercise price of $18.33 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share as they were anti-dilutive.

4. | Debt and Equity Securities

The Company’s investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities are classified in one of the following three categories and accounted for accordingly: (1) trading securities, (2) securities available for sale and (3) securities held-to-maturity.

The Company did not hold any trading securities or securities held-to-maturity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value.

The following table summarizes the Company’s portfolio of securities available for sale at September 30, 2014:

Mortgage-backed securities shown in the table above include three private issue collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) that are collateralized by commercial real estate mortgages with amortized cost and market values totaling $12.4 million and $12.5 million, respectively, at September 30, 2014.

OTTI losses on impaired securities must be fully recognized in earnings if an investor has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not that the investor will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost. However, even if an investor does not expect to sell a debt security, the investor must evaluate the expected cash flows to be received and determine if a credit loss has occurred. In the event that a credit loss has occurred, only the amount of impairment associated with the credit loss is recognized in earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Amounts relating to factors other than credit losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) within Stockholders’ Equity.

The Company reviewed each investment that had an unrealized loss at September 30, 2014. An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses on available for sale securities, that are deemed to be temporary, are recorded in AOCI, net of tax. Unrealized losses that are considered to be other-than-temporary are split between credit related and noncredit related impairments, with the credit related impairment being recorded as a charge against earnings and the noncredit related impairment being recorded in AOCI, net of tax.

The Company evaluates its pooled trust preferred securities, included in the table above under “Other”, using an impairment model through an independent third party, which includes evaluating the financial condition of each counterparty. For single issuer trust preferred securities, the Company evaluates the issuer’s financial condition. When an OTTI is identified, the portion of the impairment that is credit related, for trust preferred securities, is determined by management by using a discounted cash flow model from an independent third party, with the difference between the present value of the projected cash flows and the amortized cost basis of the security recorded as a credit related loss against earnings.

Corporate:

The unrealized losses in Corporate securities at September 30, 2014 consist of losses on five Corporate securities. The unrealized losses were caused by movements in interest rates. It is not anticipated that these securities would be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Each of these securities is performing according to its terms and, in the opinion of management, will continue to perform according to its terms. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of the securities’ amortized cost basis. This conclusion is based upon considering the Company’s cash and working capital requirements and contractual and regulatory obligations, none of which the Company believes would cause the sale of the securities. Therefore, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014.

Municipal Securities:

The unrealized losses in Municipal securities at September 30, 2014, consist of losses on eight municipal securities. The unrealized losses were caused by movements in interest rates. It is not anticipated that these securities would be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Each of these securities is performing according to its terms and, in the opinion of management, will continue to perform according to its terms. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of the securities amortized cost basis. This conclusion is based upon considering the Company’s cash and working capital requirements and contractual and regulatory obligations, none of which the Company believes would cause the sale of the securities. Therefore, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014.

Other Securities:

The unrealized losses in Other Securities at September 30, 2014, consist of losses on one single issuer trust preferred security and two pooled trust preferred securities. The unrealized losses on these securities were caused by market interest volatility, a significant widening of credit spreads across markets for these securities and illiquidity and uncertainty in the financial markets. These securities are currently rated below investment grade. The pooled trust preferred securities do not have collateral that is subordinate to the classes the Company owns. The Company’s management evaluates the pooled trust preferred securities using an impairment model, through an independent third party, that is applied to debt securities. In estimating OTTI losses, management considers: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost; (2) the current interest rate environment; (3) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, if applicable; and (4) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Additionally, management reviews the financial condition of each individual issuer within the pooled trust preferred securities. All of the issuers of the underlying collateral of the pooled trust preferred securities we reviewed are banks.

For each bank, our review included the following performance items of the banks:

Ratio of tangible equity to assets

Tier 1 Risk Weighted Capital

Net interest margin

Efficiency ratio for most recent two quarters

Return on average assets for most recent two quarters

Texas Ratio (ratio of non-performing assets plus assets past due over 90 days divided by tangible equity plus the reserve for loan losses)

Credit ratings (where applicable)

Capital issuances within the past year (where applicable)

Ability to complete Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assisted acquisitions (where applicable)

Based on the review of the above factors, we concluded that:

All of the performing issuers in our pools are well capitalized banks, and do not appear likely to be closed by their regulators.

All of the performing issuers in our pools will continue as a going concern and will not default on their securities.

In order to estimate potential future defaults and deferrals, we segregated the performing underlying issuers by their Texas Ratio. We then reviewed performing issuers with Texas Ratios in excess of 50%. The Texas Ratio is a key indicator of the health of the institution and the likelihood of failure. This ratio compares the problem assets of the institution to the institution’s available capital and reserves to absorb losses that are likely to occur in these assets. No issuer in our pooled trust preferred securities had a Texas Ratio in excess of 50%. We concluded that issuers with a Texas Ratio below 50% are considered healthy, and there was minimal risk of default. We assigned a zero percent default rate to these issuers. Our analysis also assumed that issuers currently deferring would default with no recovery, and issuers that have defaulted will have no recovery.

We had an independent third party prepare a discounted cash flow analysis for each of these pooled trust preferred securities based on the assumptions discussed above. Other significant assumptions were: (1) one issuer totaling $15.0 million will prepay in the third quarter of 2015; (2) three issuers totaling $31.8 million will prepay in the third quarter of 2015; (3) senior classes will not call the debt on their portions; and (4) use of the forward London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve. The cash flows were discounted at the effective rate for each security.

The Company also owns a single issue security that is carried under the fair value option, where the unrealized losses are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income – Net gain (loss) from fair value adjustments.

It is not anticipated at this time that the one single issuer trust preferred security and the two pooled trust preferred securities would be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Each of these securities is performing according to its terms and, in the opinion of management and based on the review performed at September 30, 2014, will continue to perform according to its terms. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of the securities’ amortized cost basis. This conclusion is based upon considering the Company’s cash and working capital requirements and contractual and regulatory obligations, none of which the Company believes would cause the sale of the securities. Therefore, the Company did not consider the one single issuer trust preferred security and the two pooled trust preferred securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014.

At September 30, 2014, including the three trust preferred issues discussed above, the Company held four trust preferred issues which had a current credit rating of at least one rating below investment grade. One of those issues is carried under the fair value option and therefore, changes in fair value are included in the Consolidated Statement of Income – Net gain (loss) from fair value adjustments.

The following table details the remaining three trust preferred issues that were evaluated to determine if they were other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014. The class the Company owns in pooled trust preferred securities does not have any excess subordination.

REMIC and CMO:

The unrealized losses in Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (“REMIC”) and CMO securities at September 30, 2014 consist of 13 issues from the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), 16 issues from the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and seven issues from Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”).

The unrealized losses on the REMIC and CMO securities issued by FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA were caused by movements in interest rates. It is not anticipated that these securities would be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Each of these securities is performing according to its terms, and, in the opinion of management, will continue to perform according to its terms. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of the securities’ amortized cost basis. This conclusion is based upon considering the Company’s cash and working capital requirements, and contractual and regulatory obligations, none of which the Company believes would cause the sale of the securities. Therefore, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014.

This security is performing according to its terms and, in the opinion of management, will continue to perform according to its terms. The Company does not have the intent to sell this security and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis. This conclusion is based upon considering the Company’s cash and working capital requirements and contractual and regulatory obligations, none of which the Company believes would cause the sale of the security. Therefore, the Company did not consider this security to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014.

FNMA:

The unrealized losses in FNMA securities at September 30, 2014 consist of losses on 15 securities. The unrealized losses were caused by movements in interest rates. It is not anticipated that these securities would be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Each of these securities is performing according to its terms and, in the opinion of management, will continue to perform according to its terms. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of the securities’ amortized cost basis. This conclusion is based upon considering the Company’s cash and working capital requirements and contractual and regulatory obligations, none of which the Company believes will cause the sale of the securities. Therefore, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014.

FHMLC:

The unrealized losses in FHMLC securities at September 30, 2014 consist of losses on two securities. The unrealized losses were caused by movements in interest rates.

Each of these securities are performing according to its terms and, in the opinion of management, will continue to perform according to its terms. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of the securities’ amortized cost basis. This conclusion is based upon considering the Company’s cash and working capital requirements and contractual and regulatory obligations, none of which the Company believes would cause the sale of the securities.

5. | Loans

Loans are reported at their principal outstanding balance net of any unearned income, charge-offs, deferred loan fees and costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Interest on loans is recognized on the accrual basis. The accrual of income on loans is generally discontinued when certain factors, such as contractual delinquency of 90 days or more, indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectability of such income. Uncollected interest previously recognized on non-accrual loans is reversed from interest income at the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status. A non-accrual loan can be returned to accrual status when contractual delinquency returns to less than 90 days delinquent. Subsequent cash payments received on non-accrual loans that do not bring the loan to less than 90 days delinquent are recorded on a cash basis. Subsequent cash payments can also be applied first as a reduction of principal until all principal is recovered and then subsequently to interest, if in management’s opinion, it is evident that recovery of all principal due is unlikely to occur. Loan fees and certain loan origination costs are deferred. Net loan origination costs and premiums or discounts on loans purchased are amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the loans using the level-yield method. Prepayment penalties received on loans which pay in full prior to their scheduled maturity are included in interest income in the period they are collected.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses at an amount, which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectability of loans. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available. The allowance is established through a provision (benefit) for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the various components of the loan portfolio and other factors, including historical loan loss experience (which is updated quarterly), current economic conditions, delinquency and non-accrual trends, classified loan levels, risk in the portfolio and volumes and trends in loan types, recent trends in charge-offs, changes in underwriting standards, experience, ability and depth of the Company’s lenders, collection policies and experience, internal loan review function and other external factors. Additionally, the Company segregated our loans into two portfolios based on year of origination. One portfolio was reviewed for loans originated after December 31, 2009 and a second portfolio for loans originated prior to January 1, 2010. Our decision to segregate the portfolio based upon origination dates was based on changes made in our underwriting standards during 2009. By the end of 2009, all loans were being underwritten based on revised and tightened underwriting standards. Loans originated prior to 2010 have a higher delinquency rate and loss history. Each of the years in the portfolio for loans originated prior to 2010 have a similar delinquency rate. The determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses includes estimates that are susceptible to significant changes due to changes in appraisal values of collateral, national and local economic conditions and other factors. We review our loan portfolio by separate categories with similar risk and collateral characteristics. Impaired loans are segregated and reviewed separately. All non-accrual loans are classified as impaired loans. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and approves management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis.

The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision (benefit) for loan losses. Increases and decreases in the allowance other than charge-offs and recoveries are included in the provision (benefit) for loan losses. When a loan or a portion of a loan is determined to be uncollectible, the portion deemed uncollectible is charged against the allowance, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The Company recognizes a loan as non-performing when the borrower has demonstrated the inability to bring the loan current, or due to other circumstances which, in management’s opinion, indicate the borrower will be unable to bring the loan current within a reasonable time. All loans classified as non-performing, which includes all loans past due 90 days or more, are classified as non-accrual unless there is, in our opinion, compelling evidence the borrower will bring the loan current in the immediate future. Appraisals are obtained and/or updated internal evaluations are prepared as soon as practical, and before the loan becomes 90 days delinquent. The loan balances of collateral dependent impaired loans are compared to the property’s updated fair value. The Company considers fair value of collateral dependent loans to be 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property. The balance which exceeds fair value is generally charged-off.

A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information, the Company believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due, both principal and interest, in accordance with the original terms of the loan. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or at the loan’s observable market price or, as a practical expedient, the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Interest income on impaired loans is recorded on the cash basis. The Company’s management considers all non-accrual loans impaired.

The Company reviews each impaired loan on an individual basis to determine if either a charge-off or a valuation allowance needs to be allocated to the loan. The Company does not charge-off or allocate a valuation allowance to loans for which management has concluded the current value of the underlying collateral will allow for recovery of the loan balance either through the sale of the loan or by foreclosure and sale of the property.

The Company evaluates the underlying collateral through a third party appraisal, or when a third party appraisal is not available, the Company will use an internal evaluation. The internal evaluations are prepared using an income approach or a sales approach. The income approach is used for income producing properties and uses current revenues less operating expenses to determine the net cash flow of the property. Once the net cash flow is determined, the value of the property is calculated using an appropriate capitalization rate for the property. The sales approach uses comparable sales prices in the market. When an internal evaluation is used, we place greater reliance on the income approach to value the collateral.

In preparing internal evaluations of property values, the Company seeks to obtain current data on the subject property from various sources, including: (1) the borrower; (2) copies of existing leases; (3) local real estate brokers and appraisers; (4) public records (such as for real estate taxes and water and sewer charges); (5) comparable sales and rental data in the market; (6) an inspection of the property and (7) interviews with tenants. These internal evaluations primarily focus on the income approach and comparable sales data to value the property.

As of September 30, 2014, we utilized recent third party appraisals of the collateral to measure impairment for $35.9 million, or 70.8%, of collateral dependent impaired loans, and used internal evaluations of the property’s value for $14.8 million, or 29.2%, of collateral dependent impaired loans.

The Company may restructure a loan to enable a borrower experiencing financial difficulties to continue making payments when it is deemed to be in the Company’s best long-term interest. This restructure may include reducing the interest rate or amount of the monthly payment for a specified period of time, after which the interest rate and repayment terms revert to the original terms of the loan. We classify these loans as Troubled Debt Restructured (“TDR”).

These restructurings have not included a reduction of principal balance. The Company believes that restructuring these loans in this manner will allow certain borrowers to become and remain current on their loans. Restructured loans are classified as a TDR when the Bank grants a concession to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties. All loans classified as TDR are considered impaired, however TDR loans which have been current for six consecutive months at the time they are restructured as TDR remain on accrual status and are not included as part of non-performing loans. Loans which were delinquent at the time they are restructured as a TDR are placed on non-accrual status and reported as non-performing loans until they have made timely payments for six consecutive months. Loans that are restructured as TDR but are not performing in accordance with the restructured terms are placed on non-accrual status and reported as non-performing loans.

The allocation of a portion of the allowance for loan losses for a performing TDR loan is based upon the present value of the future expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective rate, or for a non-performing TDR which is collateral dependent, the fair value of the collateral. At September 30, 2014, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were modified to a TDR. The modification of loans to a TDR did not have a significant effect on our operating results, nor did it require a significant allocation of the allowance for loan losses.

The Bank did not modify and classify any loans as TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The following table shows loans modified and classified as TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

|  | For the nine months ended September 30, 2013

In accordance with our policy and the current regulatory guidelines, we designate loans as “Special Mention,” which are considered “Criticized Loans,” and “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” or “Loss,” which are considered “Classified Loans”. If a loan does not fall within one of the previous mentioned categories then the loan would be considered “Pass.” These loan designations are updated quarterly. We designate a loan as Substandard when a well-defined weakness is identified that jeopardizes the orderly liquidation of the debt. We designate a loan Doubtful when it displays the inherent weakness of a Substandard loan with the added provision that collection of the debt in full, on the basis of existing facts, is highly improbable. We designate a loan as Loss if it is deemed the debtor is incapable of repayment. The Company does not hold any loans designated as Loss, as loans that are designated as Loss are charged to the Allowance for Loan Losses. Loans that are non-accrual are designated as Substandard or Doubtful. We designate a loan as Special Mention if the asset does not warrant classification within one of the other classifications, but does contain a potential weakness that deserves closer attention.

6. | Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had one multi-family residential loan held for sale of $1.2 million. At December 31, 2013, the Bank had one multi-family residential loan held for sale of $0.4 million.

The Company has implemented a strategy of selling certain delinquent and non-performing loans. Once the Company has decided to sell a loan, the sale usually closes in a short period of time, generally within the same quarter. Loans designated as held for sale are reclassified from loans held for investment to loans held for sale. Terms of sale include cash due upon the closing of the sale, no contingencies or recourse to the Company and servicing is released to the buyer.

The Bank did not sell any loans during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

8. | Stock-Based Compensation

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s net income, as reported, includes $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation costs and $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of income tax benefits related to the stock-based compensation plans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s net income, as reported, includes $3.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation costs and $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of income tax benefits related to the stock-based compensation plans.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, the risk-free interest rate over the options’ expected term and the annual dividend yield. The Company uses the fair value of the common stock on the date of award to measure compensation cost for restricted stock unit awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period of the award using the straight line method. There were 2,800 and 2,400 restricted stock units granted during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company granted 266,895 and 246,045 restricted stock units, respectively. There were no stock options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

The 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”) became effective on May 20, 2014 after approval by the stockholders. The Omnibus Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) to grant a variety of equity compensation awards as well as long-term and annual cash incentive awards, all of which can, but need not, be structured so as to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Omnibus Plan authorizes the issuance of 1,100,000 shares. To the extent that an award under the Omnibus Plan is cancelled, expired, forfeited, settled in cash, settled by issuance of fewer shares than the number underlying the award, or otherwise terminated without delivery of shares to a participant in payment of the exercise price or taxes relating to an award, the shares retained by or returned to the Company will be available for future issuance under the Omnibus Plan. Although, commencing upon the approval of the Omnibus Plan by stockholders, no further awards may be granted under the Company’s 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan, 1996 Stock Option Incentive Plan, and 1996 Restricted Stock Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plans”), all outstanding awards under the Prior Plans shall continue in accordance with their terms. At September 30, 2014, there were 1,097,200 shares available for delivery in connection with awards under the Omnibus Plan. To satisfy stock option exercises or fund restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, shares are issued from treasury stock, if available; otherwise new shares are issued. The exercise price per share of a stock option grant may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock of the Company, as defined in the Omnibus Plan, on the date of grant and may not be re-priced without the approval of the Company’s stockholders. Options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock based awards granted under the Omnibus Plan are generally subject to a minimum vesting period of three years with stock options having a 10-year maximum contractual term. Other awards do not have a contractual term of expiration. The Compensation Committee is authorized to grant awards that vest upon a participant’s retirement. These amounts are included in stock-based compensation expense at the time of the participant’s retirement eligibility.

The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards under the Omnibus Plan and the Prior Plans in the aggregate at or for the nine months ended September 30, 2014:

|  | Shares |  | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Non-vested at December 31, 2013 |  |  | 346,584 |  |  | $ | 14.08 |
Granted |  |  | 266,895 |  |  |  | 20.17 |
Vested |  |  | (200,324 | ) |  |  | 16.89 |
Forfeited |  |  | (19,142 | ) |  |  | 15.54 |
Non-vested at September 30, 2014 |  |  | 394,013 |  |  | $ | 16.71 |
Vested but unissued at September 30, 2014 |  |  | 217,227 |  |  | $ | 16.92 |

As of September 30, 2014, there was $4.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSU awards granted under the Omnibus Plan and the Prior Plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years. The total fair value of awards vested during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $4,000 for each respective period. The total fair value of awards vested for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $4.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The vested but unissued RSU awards consist of awards made to employees and directors who are eligible for retirement. According to the terms of these awards, which provide for vesting upon retirement, these employees and directors have no risk of forfeiture.

Phantom Stock Plan: The Company maintains a non-qualified phantom stock plan as a supplement to its profit sharing plan for officers who have achieved the level of Senior Vice President and above and completed one year of service. However, officers who had achieved at least the level of Vice President and completed one year of service prior to January 1, 2009 remain eligible to participate in the phantom stock plan. Awards are made under this plan on certain compensation not eligible for awards made under the profit sharing plan, due to the terms of the profit sharing plan and the Internal Revenue Code. Employees receive awards under this plan proportionate to the amount they would have received under the profit sharing plan, but for limits imposed by the profit sharing plan and the Internal Revenue Code. The awards are made as cash awards, and then converted to common stock equivalents (phantom shares) at the then current market value of the Company’s common stock. Dividends are credited to each employee’s account in the form of additional phantom shares each time the Company pays a dividend on its common stock. In the event of a change of control (as defined in this plan), an employee’s interest is converted to a fixed dollar amount and deemed to be invested in the same manner as his interest in the Bank’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Employees vest under this plan 20% per year for 5 years. Employees also become 100% vested upon a change of control. Employees receive their vested interest in this plan in the form of a cash lump sum payment or installments, as elected by the employee, after termination of employment. The Company adjusts its liability under this plan to the fair value of the shares at the end of each period.

10. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company carries certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC Topic 825”) and values those financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 825 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. At September 30, 2014, the Company carried financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option with fair values of $38.7 million and $29.5 million, respectively. At December 31, 2013, the Company carried financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option with fair values of $37.3 million and $29.6 million, respectively. The Company elected to measure at fair value, securities with a cost of $5.0 million that were purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company did not elect to carry any additional financial assets or financial liabilities under the fair value option during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold financial assets carried under the fair value option totaling $1.9 million.

The following table presents the financial assets and financial liabilities reported at fair value under the fair value option, and the changes in fair value included in the Consolidated Statement of Income – Net gain (loss) from fair value adjustments, at or for the periods ended as indicated:

| (2) | The net gain (loss) from fair value adjustments presented in the above table does not include net gains (losses) of ($2.1) million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, from the change in the fair value of interest rate caps/Swaps.

Included in the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities selected for the fair value option is the accrued interest receivable or payable for the related instrument. The Company accrues on the financial instruments and reports, as interest income or interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income, the interest receivable or payable on the financial instruments selected for the fair value option at their respective contractual rates.

The borrowed funds had a contractual principal amount of $61.9 million at both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The fair value of borrowed funds includes accrued interest payable of $0.1 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The Company generally holds its earning assets, other than securities available for sale, to maturity and settles its liabilities at maturity. However, fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular instrument. Accordingly, as assumptions change, such as interest rates and prepayments, fair value estimates change and these amounts may not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale.

Disclosure of fair value does not require fair value information for items that do not meet the definition of a financial instrument or certain other financial instruments specifically excluded from its requirements. These items include core deposit intangibles and other customer relationships, premises and equipment, leases, income taxes and equity.

Further, fair value disclosure does not attempt to value future income or business. These items may be material and accordingly, the fair value information presented does not purport to represent, nor should it be construed to represent, the underlying “market” or franchise value of the Company.

Financial assets and financial liabilities reported at fair value are required to be measured based on either: (1) quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments (Level 1); (2) significant other observable inputs (Level 2); or (3) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

A description of the methods and significant assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Level 1 – where quoted market prices are available in an active market. The Company did not value any of its assets or liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 1 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Level 2 – when quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar financial instruments and adjusted for differences between the quoted instrument and the instrument being valued. Fair value can also be estimated by using pricing models, or discounted cash flows. Pricing models primarily use market-based or independently sourced market parameters as inputs, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, equity or debt prices and credit spreads. In addition to observable market information, models also incorporate maturity and cash flow assumptions. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Level 2 included mortgage related securities, corporate debt and interest rate caps/Swaps.

Level 3 – when there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, financial instruments are classified as Level 3. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Level 3 included municipal securities and trust preferred securities owned by and junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company.

The methods described above may produce fair values that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies, assumptions and models to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could produce different estimates of fair value at the reporting date.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3.

The following table presents the quantitative information about recurring Level 3 fair value of financial instruments and the fair value measurements as of September 30, 2014:

September 30, 2014 |  | Fair Value |  |  | Valuation Technique |  | Unobservable Input |  | Range (Weighted Average)
|  | (Dollars in thousands) |
Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Municipals |  | $ | 12,453 |  |  | Discounted cash flows |  | Discount rate |  | 0.2% | - | 4.0% | (2.8%)
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Discount rate |  | 7.0% | - | 10.4% | (8.4%)
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Prepayment assumptions |  | 30.4% | - | 39.7% | (35.0%)
Trust Preferred Securities |  | $ | 13,618 |  |  | Discounted cash flows |  | Defaults |  | 0.2% | - | 20.5% | (10.5%)

Junior subordinated debentures |  | $ | 29,535 |  |  | Discounted cash flows |  | Discount rate |  |  |  | 7.0% | (7.0%)

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s municipal securities valued under Level 3 are the securities’ effective yield. Significant increases or decreases in the effective yield in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s trust preferred securities valued under Level 3 are the securities’ prepayment assumptions and default rate. Significant increases or decreases in any of the inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures under Level 3 are effective yield. Significant increases or decreases in the effective yield in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

The Company carries its Loans held for sale and OREO at the expected sales price less selling costs.

The Company carries its impaired collateral dependent loans at 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the underlying property.

The Company did not have any liabilities that were carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The estimated fair value of each material class of financial instruments at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the related methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are as follows:

Cash and Due from Banks, Overnight Interest-Earning Deposits and Federal Funds Sold:

The fair values of financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value that approximates carrying value (Level 1).

FHLB-NY stock:

The fair value is based upon the par value of the stock which equals its carrying value (Level 2).

Securities Available for Sale:

The estimated fair values of securities available for sale are contained in Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices (Level 1 input), where available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities and adjusted for differences between the quoted instrument and the instrument being valued (Level 2 input). When there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are valued using (Level 3 input).

Loans held for sale:

The fair value of non-performing loans held for sale is estimated through bids received on the loans and, as such, are classified as a Level 3 input.

Loans:

The estimated fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities (Level 3 input).

For impaired loans, fair value is generally estimated by discounting management’s estimate of future cash flows with a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with such assets or for collateral dependent loans 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property (Level 3 input).

Due to Depositors:

The fair values of demand, passbook savings, NOW, money market deposits and escrow deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting dates (i.e. their carrying value) (Level 1). The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposits are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities (Level 2 input).

Borrowings:

The estimated fair value of borrowings are estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows using interest rates in effect for borrowings with similar maturities and collateral requirements (Level 2 input) or using a market-standard model (Level 3 input).

Interest Rate Caps:

The estimated fair value of interest rate caps is based upon broker quotes (Level 2 input).

Interest Rate Swaps:

The estimated fair value of interest rate swaps is based upon broker quotes (Level 2 input).

Other Real Estate Owned:

OREO are carried at fair value less selling costs. The fair value is based on appraised value through a current appraisal, or sometimes through an internal review, additionally adjusted by the estimated costs to sell the property (Level 3 input).

Other Financial Instruments:

The fair values of commitments to sell, lend or borrow are estimated using the fees currently charged or paid to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle with the counterparties at the reporting date. For fixed-rate loan commitments to sell, lend or borrow, fair values also consider the difference between current levels of interest rates and committed rates (where applicable).

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair values of the above financial instruments approximate the recorded amounts of the related fees and were not considered to be material.

11. | Derivative Financial Instruments

At September 30, 2014, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of interest rate swaps and at December 31, 2013, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of purchased options and interest rate swaps. The Company’s swaps are used to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on a portion ($18.0 million) of its floating rate junior subordinated debentures that have a contractual value of $61.9 million. Additionally, the Company at times may use interest rate swaps to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on its fixed rate loans.

The purchased options, which expired during the third quarter of 2014, were used to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on its financial liabilities without stated maturities.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 derivatives with a combined notional amount of $18.0 million and $118.0 million, respectively, were not designated as hedges. Derivatives with a combined notional amount of $11.0 million and $11.2 million were designated as fair value hedges at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives not designated as hedges are reflected in “Net gain/loss from fair value adjustments” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative designated as a fair value hedge which is considered ineffective are reflected in “Net gain/loss from fair value adjustments” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The effective tax rate was 38.7% and 39.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 39.4% and 39.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The effective rates differ from the statutory federal income tax rate as follows:

The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of $29.3 million at September 30, 2014, which is included in “Other assets” in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. This represents the anticipated net federal, state and local tax benefits expected to be realized in future years upon the utilization of the underlying tax attributes comprising this balance. The Company has reported taxable income for federal, state, and local tax purposes in each of the past three fiscal years. In management’s opinion, in view of the Company’s previous, current and projected future earnings trend, the probability that some of the Company’s $19.2 million deferred tax liability can be used to offset a portion of the deferred tax asset, as well as certain tax planning strategies, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized. Accordingly, no valuation allowance was deemed necessary for the deferred tax asset at September 30, 2014.

15. | New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04 to clarify that when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU 2014- 04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 which provides new guidance that supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11 which amends the authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860 “Transfers and Servicing.” The amendments require two accounting changes. First, the amendments change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting. Second, for repurchase financing arrangements, the amendments require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. The amendments also require additional disclosures regarding repurchase agreements. The amendments are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. Entities are required to present changes in accounting for transactions outstanding on the effective date as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Early adoption is prohibited. The amendments regarding disclosures for certain transactions accounted for as a sale are required to be presented for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and the disclosure for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings are required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The disclosures are not required to be presented for comparative periods before the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting these amendments on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14 which amends the authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 310 “Receivables.” The amendments require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the follow conditions are met: (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure; (2) At the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of real estate is fixed. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Entities should adopt the amendments in this Update using either a prospective transition method or a modified retrospective transition method. Adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Executive Summary

We are a Delaware corporation organized in May 1994. The Bank was organized in 1929 as a New York State-chartered mutual savings bank. In 1994, the Bank converted to a federally chartered mutual savings bank and changed its name from Flushing Savings Bank to Flushing Savings Bank, FSB. The Bank converted from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank on November 21, 1995, at which time Flushing Financial Corporation acquired all of the stock of the Bank. On February 28, 2013, the Bank’s charter was changed to a full-service New York State chartered commercial bank, and its name was changed to Flushing Bank. On July 21, 2011, as a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Bank’s primary regulator became the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Flushing Financial Corporation’s primary regulator became the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. As a result of the Bank’s change in charter to a full-service New York State chartered commercial bank, the Bank’s primary regulator became the New York State Department of Financial Services (formerly, the New York State Banking Department), and its primary federal regulator became the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Deposits are insured to the maximum allowable amount by the FDIC. Additionally, the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system. Also in connection with the Merger, Flushing Financial Corporation became a bank holding company. The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation has been the operation of the Bank. The Bank owns three subsidiaries: Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation, Flushing Service Corporation, and FSB Properties Inc. In November 2006, the Bank launched an internet branch, iGObanking.com®. The activities of Flushing Financial Corporation are primarily funded by dividends, if any, received from the Bank, issuances of junior subordinated debt, and issuances of equity securities. Flushing Financial Corporation’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “FFIC.”

Our principal business is attracting retail deposits from consumers, businesses and public entities and investing those deposits together with funds generated from ongoing operations and borrowings, primarily in (1) originations and purchases of multi-family residential loans and, to a lesser extent, one-to-four family loans (focusing on mixed-use properties, which are properties that contain both residential dwelling units and commercial units) and commercial real estate mortgage loans; (2) construction loans, primarily for residential properties; (3) Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and other small business loans; (4) mortgage loan surrogates such as mortgage-backed securities; and (5) U.S. government securities, corporate fixed-income securities and other marketable securities. We also originate certain other consumer loans including overdraft lines of credit. Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its interest-earning assets and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the result of our interest rate margin, which is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, adjusted for the difference in the average balance of interest-earning assets as compared to the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. We also generate non-interest income from loan fees, service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage servicing fees, and other fees, income earned on Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”), dividends on Federal Home Bank of New York (“FHLB-NY”) stock and net gains and losses on sales of securities and loans. Our operating expenses consist principally of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, other general and administrative expenses and income tax expense. Our results of operations also can be significantly affected by our periodic provision for loan losses and specific provision for losses on real estate owned.

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our strategy is to continue our focus on being an institution serving consumers, businesses, and governmental entities in our local markets. In furtherance of this objective, we intend to:

- continue our emphasis on the origination of multi-family residential mortgage loans;
- continue to transition our balance sheet to a more ‘commercial-like’ banking institution;
- increase our commitment to the multi-cultural marketplace, with a particular focus on the Asian community in Queens;
- maintain asset quality;
- manage deposit growth and maintain a low cost of funds through

- business banking deposits,
- municipal deposits through government banking, and
- new customer relationships via iGObanking.com®;

- cross sell to lending and deposit customers;
- take advantage of market disruptions to attract talent and customers from competitors;
- manage interest rate risk and capital: and
- manage enterprise-wide risk.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively implement this strategy. Our strategy is subject to change by the Board of Directors.

Our investment policy, which is approved by the Board of Directors, is designed primarily to manage the interest rate sensitivity of our overall assets and liabilities, to generate a favorable return without incurring undue interest rate risk and credit risk, to complement our lending activities and to provide and maintain liquidity. In establishing our investment strategies, we consider our business and growth strategies, the economic environment, our interest rate risk exposure, our interest rate sensitivity “gap” position, the types of securities to be held and other factors. We classify our investment securities as available for sale.

We carry a portion of our financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value and record changes in their fair value through earnings in non-interest income on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. A description of the financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value through earnings can be found in Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Bank continues to maintain conservative underwriting standards that include, among other things, a loan-to-value ratio of 75% or less and a debt coverage ratio of at least 125%. Multi-family residential, commercial real estate and one-to-four family mixed-use property mortgage loans originated during the third quarter of 2014 had an average loan-to-value ratio of 42.8% and an average debt coverage ratio of 258%.

The continued improvement in credit quality allowed us to reduce our provision for loan losses for the third consecutive quarter. The benefit for loan losses was $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2014 and $1.1 million for each of the first two quarters of 2014, all of which are improvements over the provision for loan losses of $1.0 million recorded during the fourth quarter of 2013. We continued to see reductions in delinquent loans, non-performing loans, and classified assets. As compared to the prior quarter, loans delinquent over 30 days decreased $4.4 million, or 5.3%, during the third quarter of 2014 to $77.6 million and non-accrual loans decreased $8.3 million, or 19.4%, during the third quarter of 2014 to $34.5 million.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $0.3 million. We continued our practice of obtaining updated appraisals and recording charge-offs based on these current values as opposed to adding to the allowance for loan losses. This process has ensured that we have kept pace with changing values in the real estate market. The average loan-to-value ratio for our non-performing loans collateralized by real estate was 50.3% at September 30, 2014.

Loans, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 grew 8.4% from December 31, 2013. Loan originations for the recent quarter totaled $248.2 million, a 29.8% increase from loan originations during the second quarter of 2014, as we begin to see contributions from additional loan officers hired during 2014. Growth was primarily in commercial real estate mortgage loans and commercial business loans. The origination and purchase of commercial real estate loans during the third quarter of 2014 was $68.9 million, or 27.8% of all loan originations, as our strategic plan included reentering this market. Loan applications in process dipped slightly from a record high of $364.3 million at June 30, 2014, but remain strong totaling $323.0 million at September 30, 2014. The mix of our loans has improved as our business banking operation contributed 35.7% of year to date originations. This business banking portion of our loan portfolio has continued to grow, providing us with additional variable rate loans to lock in spreads in a potentially rising interest rate environment. Combining the growth in business banking loans with our reentry into the commercial real estate market allowed us to be more discriminating in our acceptance of more liberal pricing and terms in the multi-family residential market.

Our net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was 2.77%, a decrease of 45 basis points from the three months ended June 30, 2014. Excluding the prepayment penalty incurred as a result of the balance sheet deleveraging, as discussed below, our net interest margin would have been 3.22%, the same as recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2014. During the third quarter of 2014, a six basis point decrease in the yield earned from interest-earning assets to 4.27% was offset by a seven basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 1.16%. The decline in the yield of interest-earning assets was primarily due to the current interest rate environment, where new loans and securities are added at rates well below our portfolio average yield, and higher yielding loans and securities are prepaying. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to decreases of 27 basis points and 13 basis points in the cost of certificates of deposit and borrowed funds, respectively, partially offset by increases of seven basis points in the cost of money market accounts, and one basis point in the cost of savings and NOW accounts, respectively. The yield earned during the three months ended September 30, 2014 was partially supported by additional interest collected on loans which were previously non-accrual and back payments were received. During the third and second quarters of 2014, the yield included $0.3 million and $0.4 million in additional interest collected from non-accrual loans, respectively. Excluding this additional interest collected from non-accrual loans and the prepayment penalty on borrowings, the net interest margin would have increased two basis points to 3.20% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 3.18% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Further excluding prepayment penalty income, the net interest margin was 3.07% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

At September 30, 2014, the Bank continues to be well-capitalized under regulatory requirements, with Core, Tier 1 risk-based and Total risk-based capital ratios of 9.62%, 14.37% and 15.25%, respectively. At September 30, 2014, the Company’s capital ratios for Core, Tier 1 risk-based and Total risk-based capital ratios were 9.70%, 14.50% and 15.37%, respectively.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND 2013

General. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $11.2 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 18.9%, compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.38 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $0.06, or 18.8%, from $0.32 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Return on average equity increased to 9.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 8.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Return on average assets increased to 0.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 0.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Balance Sheet Deleveraging. During three months ended September 30, 2014, $85.0 million in mortgage-backed securities at an average yield of 3.66% and $10.2 million in corporate securities at an average yield of 2.07% were sold realizing a net gain on sale of $5.2 million. The proceeds from the sale were used to prepay $66.9 million in long-term FHLB-NY advances at an average cost of 2.98% and $30.0 million in repurchase agreements at an average cost of 4.98% while incurring a prepayment penalty totaling $5.2 million. The balance sheet deleverage had a minimal effect on the current period net income, but decreased net interest income by $5.2 million and increased non-interest income by $5.2 million. The balance sheet deleverage is projected to increase our net interest margin in future periods.

Interest Income. Total interest and dividend income decreased $0.7 million, or 1.4%, to $49.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $49.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in interest income was attributable to a 29 basis point decline in the yield of interest-earning assets to 4.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 4.56% in the comparable prior year period, partially offset by the effect of an increase of $235.7 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $4,607.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $4,371.3 million for the comparable prior year period. The 29 basis point decline in the yield of interest-earning assets was primarily due to a 39 basis point reduction in the yield of the total loans, net to 4.79% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 5.18% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, combined with a 21 basis point decline in the yield on total securities to 2.56% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 2.77% for the comparable prior year period. The 39 basis point decrease in the yield of total loans, net was primarily due to the decline in the rates earned on new loan originations, existing loans modifying to lower rates, and higher yielding loans prepaying. The yield on total loans, net, excluding prepayment penalty income, decreased 40 basis points to 4.62% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 5.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The 21 basis point decrease in the yield of total securities was primarily due to the purchase of new securities at lower yields than the existing portfolio and the sale of $95.2 million in securities at an average yield of 3.49%, which is a higher yield than the existing portfolio, during the three months ended September 30, 2014, as part of the balance sheet deleverage discussed above.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $4.4 million, or 33.8%, to $17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase of 194 basis points in the cost of borrowed funds to 4.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 2.06% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in the cost of borrowed funds was primarily due to the $5.2 million prepayment penalty on borrowings recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of the balance sheet deleveraging discussed above, partially offset by maturing borrowings being replaced at lower rates and the positive effect of prepaying $66.9 million in long-term FHLB-NY advances at an average cost of 2.98% and $30.0 million in repurchase agreements at an average cost of 4.98%, as part of the balance sheet deleveraging. This increase in interest expense was partially offset by a decrease of 12 basis points in the cost of due to depositors to 0.93% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 1.05% for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in the cost of due to depositors was primarily due to the Bank reducing the rates it pays on its deposit products, as the cost of certificates of deposit and NOW accounts decreased 23 basis points and eight basis points, respectively, partially offset by a 15 basis point increase in the cost of money market accounts for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from the comparable prior year period. The cost was also positively affected by a movement in deposit concentrations as the average balance of lower costing core deposits increased $103.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 to $1,862.5 million from $1,759.5 million for the comparable prior year period, partially offset by an increase of $67.1 million in the average balance of higher costing certificates of deposit to $1,258.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $1,191.6 million for the comparable prior year period.

Net Interest Income. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, net interest income was $32.0 million, a decrease of $5.0 million, or 13.6%, from $37.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to the $5.2 million prepayment penalty recorded on borrowings during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of balance sheet deleveraging, as discussed above. This decrease in net interest income was partially offset by an increase of $235.7 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $4,607.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $4,371.3 million for the comparable prior year period. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 29 basis points to 4.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 4.56% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 37 basis points to 1.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 1.29% for the comparable prior year period. The net interest margin declined 61 basis points to 2.77% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 3.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Excluding prepayment penalty income on loans and the prepayment penalty recorded on borrowings, the net interest margin decreased 16 basis points to 3.10% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 3.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses decreased $4.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 to a benefit of $0.6 million from a provision of $3.4 million during the comparable prior year period. The decrease in the provision was primarily due to the continued improvement in credit conditions. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, non-accrual loans decreased $25.3 million to $34.5 million from $59.9 million at September 30, 2013 and net charge-offs continued to be minimal at $0.3 million, or three basis points of average loans. The current average loan-to-value ratio for our non-performing loans collateralized by real estate was 50.3% at September 30, 2014. When we have obtained properties through foreclosure, we have been able to quickly sell the properties at amounts that approximate book value. The Bank continues to maintain conservative underwriting standards. We anticipate that we will continue to see low loss content in our loan portfolio. As a result of the quarterly analysis of the allowance for loans losses, a reduction in the allowance was warranted, and as such, the Company recorded a benefit of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. See “-ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES.”

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $7.1 million, an increase of $6.2 million from $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to the $5.2 million net gain from the sale of mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended September 30, 2014, as part of the balance sheet deleveraging previously discussed. Additionally, non-interest income increased over the comparable prior year period due to a $0.4 million increase in banking service fee income, and an improvement in other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges, as there were no OTTI charges recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2014, but the comparable prior year period included an OTTI charge of $0.9 million on private issue collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). These improvements were partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in net losses from fair value adjustments during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense was $21.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $2.4 million, or 12.5%, from $19.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to increases of $1.4 million in salaries and employee benefits, $0.5 million in other operating expenses, and $0.4 million in professional services. The efficiency ratio was 54.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 49.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Income before Income Taxes. Income before the provision for income taxes increased $2.8 million, or 18.2%, to $18.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $15.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 for the reasons discussed above.

Provision for Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $1.0 million, or 17.2%, to $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to the increase in income before income taxes as discussed above. The effective tax rate was 38.7% and 39.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND 2013

General. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $33.2 million, an increase of $7.4 million, or 28.6%, compared to $25.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Diluted earnings per common share were $1.11 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $0.25, or 29.1%, from $0.86 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Return on average equity increased to 9.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from 7.9% for the comparable prior year period. Return on average assets increased to 0.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from 0.8% for the comparable prior year period.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Interest Income. Total interest and dividend income decreased $2.3 million, or 1.5%, to $148.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $150.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in interest income was attributable to a 36 basis point decline in the yield of interest-earning assets to 4.33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 4.69% in the comparable prior year period. The decrease in the yield was partially offset by the effect of a $289.2 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $4,557.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $4,268.5 million for the comparable prior year period. The 36 basis point decline in the yield of interest-earning assets was primarily due to a 44 basis point reduction in the yield of total loans, net to 4.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 5.31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, combined with a 23 basis point reduction in the yield on total securities to 2.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 2.89% for the comparable prior year period. The yield of interest-earning assets was positively impacted by a $260.5 million increase in the average balance of the higher yielding total loans, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which was partially offset by a $28.3 million increase in the average balance of the lower yielding securities portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The 44 basis point decrease in the yield of the loan portfolio was primarily due to a decline in the rates earned on new loan originations, existing loans modifying to lower rates, and higher yielding loans prepaying. The 23 basis point decrease in the yield of the securities portfolio was primarily due to the purchase of new securities at lower yields than the existing portfolio and the sale of $95.2 million in securities at an average yield of 3.49%, which is a higher yield than the existing portfolio, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as part of the balance sheet deleverage discussed above.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $0.9 million, or 2.1%, to $42.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $41.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase of 17 basis points in the cost of borrowed funds to 2.69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 2.52% for the comparable prior year period. The increase in the cost of borrowed funds was primarily due to the $5.2 million prepayment penalty on borrowings recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of the balance sheet deleveraging discussed above. This increase was partially offset by a $2.6 million prepayment penalty recorded on borrowings during the comparable prior year period, maturing borrowings being replaced at lower rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and the positive effect of prepaying $66.9 million in long-term FHLB-NY advances at an average cost of 2.98% and $30.0 million in repurchase agreements at an average cost of 4.98%, as part of the balance sheet deleveraging. Additionally, the increase in interest expense was partially offset by a 13 basis point decrease in the cost of due to depositors due to a shifting of deposit concentrations, as higher costing certificates of deposits average balance decreased $13.0 million to $1,174.4 million, while lower costing core deposits average balance increased $185.3 million to $1,909.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the Bank reducing the rates it pays on its deposit products. The cost of certificates of deposit, savings accounts and NOW accounts decreased 14 basis points, one basis point, and eight basis points, respectively, partially offset by an increase of 10 basis points in the cost of money market accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from the comparable prior year period.

Net Interest Income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net interest income was $105.3 million, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 2.9%, from $108.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to the $5.2 million prepayment penalty on borrowings recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as part of a balance sheet deleveraging, partially offset by a $2.6 million prepayment penalty on borrowings recorded in the comparable prior year period. This decrease in net interest income was partially offset by an increase of $289.2 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $4,557.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $4,268.5 million for the comparable prior year period. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 36 basis points to 4.33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 4.69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased five basis points to 1.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 1.43% for the comparable prior year period. The net interest margin declined 31 basis points to 3.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 3.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Excluding prepayment penalty income on loans and the prepayment penalty recorded on borrowings in both periods, the net interest margin decreased 24 basis points to 3.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 3.35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses decreased $15.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to a benefit of $2.8 million from a provision of $12.9 million during the comparable prior year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, non-performing loans decreased $13.3 million to $35.7 million from $49.0 million at December 31, 2013. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $0.6 million, or two basis points of average loans. The current loan-to-value ratio for our non-performing loans collateralized by real estate was 50.3% at September 30, 2014. When we have obtained properties through foreclosure, we have been able to quickly sell the properties at amounts that approximate book value. We anticipate that we will continue to see low loss content in our loan portfolio. The Bank continues to maintain conservative underwriting standards. As a result of the quarterly analysis of the allowance for loans losses, a reduction in the allowance was warranted, and as such, the Company recorded a benefit of $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. See “-ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES.”

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $10.8 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or 27.4%, from $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to the $5.2 million net gain from sale of mortgage-backed securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, partially offset by a $2.9 million net gain from the sale of mortgage-backed securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Non-interest income also increased due to an improvement in OTTI charges as there were no OTTI charges recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, but the comparable prior year period included an OTTI charge of $1.5 million on private issue CMOs. These improvements were partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in net losses from fair value adjustments and a decrease of $0.3 million in banking service fees.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense was $64.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $2.5 million, or 4.0%, from $61.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to increases of $2.8 million in salaries and benefits expense primarily due to annual salary increases, and an increase in the cost of grants of annual restricted stock unit awards, and $0.5 million in other operating expenses. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $0.3 million and $0.6 million in FDIC insurance expense and real estate owned/foreclosure expense, respectively. The efficiency ratio was 54.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 51.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Income before Income Taxes. Income before the provision for income taxes increased $12.5 million, or 29.5%, to $54.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $42.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 for the reasons discussed above.

Provision for Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $5.1 million to $21.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to a $12.5 million increase in income before income taxes to $54.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $42.3 million for the comparable prior year period. The effective tax rate was 39.4% and 39.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of changes to the New York State tax code passed on March 31, 2014, resulting in a reduction in the Company’s deferred tax assets. We expect to see a small reduction in our effective tax rate beginning in 2015 as a result of the changes in the New York State tax code.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets. Total assets at September 30, 2014 were $4,892.0 million, an increase of $170.5 million, or 3.6%, from $4,721.5 million at December 31, 2013. Total loans, net increased $214.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to $3,617.3 million from $3,402.4 million at December 31, 2013. Loan originations and purchases were $637.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $2.1 million from $635.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we continued to focus on the origination of multi-family residential and business loans with a full relationship and have recently increased our commercial mortgage lending, as our strategic plan includes reentering this market. Loan applications in process have continued to remain strong, totaling $323.0 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $297.5 million at December 31, 2013 and $262.2 million at September 30, 2013.

The Bank continues to maintain conservative underwriting standards that include, among other things, a loan-to-value ratio of 75% or less and a debt coverage ratio of at least 125%. Multi-family residential, commercial real estate and one-to-four family mixed-use property mortgage loans originated during the third quarter of 2014 had an average loan-to-value ratio of 42.8% and an average debt coverage ratio of 258%.

The Bank’s non-performing assets totaled $41.5 million at September 30, 2014, a decrease of $12.4 million from $53.8 million at December 31, 2013. Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.85% at September 30, 2014 compared to 1.14% at December 31, 2013. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total non-performing loans was 79.5% at September 30, 2014 and 64.9% at December 31, 2013. See – “TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCUTURED AND NON-PERFORMING ASSETS.”

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, mortgage-backed securities decreased $59.9 million, or 7.9%, to $696.2 million from $756.2 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease in mortgage-backed securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to the sale of $85.0 million in mortgage-backed securities at an average yield of 3.66%, as part of the balance sheet deleveraging, and $76.1 million in principal repayments. These decreases were partially offset by purchases of $98.5 million in mortgage-backed securities at an average yield of 2.37% and an improvement of $4.8 million in the fair value of mortgage-backed securities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, other securities increased $26.5 million, or 10.1%, to $288.2 million from $261.6 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in other securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to purchases of $33.5 million at an average yield of 2.05% and an improvement in the fair value of other securities totaling $7.4 million, partially offset by the sale of $10.2 million in other securities at an average yield of 2.07%, as part of the balance sheet deleveraging, $1.9 million from the sale of one non-performing security and $1.0 million in maturities. Other securities primarily consist of securities issued by mutual or bond funds that invest in government and government agency securities, municipal bonds and corporate bonds.

Banking regulators issued the Volcker Rule in December 2013. The Volcker Rule, among other things, prohibits banks from owning certain investment securities. We have reviewed our investment portfolio for compliance with the Volcker Rule and in the opinion of management we do not own any securities which are prohibited under the Volcker Rule.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liabilities. Total liabilities were $4,439.6 million at September 30, 2014, an increase of $150.6 million, or 3.5%, from $4,289.0 million at December 31, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to depositors increased $122.1 million, or 3.8%, to $3,322.1 million, as a result of a $179.0 million increase in certificates of deposit partially offset by a $56.9 million decrease in core deposits. The seasonal decrease in deposits from public entities experienced during the second quarter of 2014 continued during the third quarter. As a result, we obtained short term CDARS deposits at comparable rates to provide funding until the public entities’ deposits return. We expect these deposits to return in the fourth quarter. Borrowed funds increased $19.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in core deposits was due to decreases of $158.9 million and $14.0 million in NOW and savings accounts, respectively, partially offset by increases of $100.1 million and $15.9 million in money market and demand accounts, respectively. The decrease in NOW accounts and the increase in money market accounts reflect the transfer of $85.9 million in balances from municipal NOW accounts to municipal money market accounts during the first nine months of 2014.

Equity. Total stockholders’ equity increased $19.9 million, or 4.6%, to $452.4 million at September 30, 2014 from $432.5 million at December 31, 2013. Stockholders’ equity increased primarily due to net income of $33.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase in comprehensive income of $6.9 million primarily due to an increase in the fair value of the securities portfolio and $1.9 million due to the issuance of shares from the annual funding of certain employee retirement plans through the release of common shares from the Employee Benefit Trust. These increases were partially offset by the declaration and payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock of $13.5 million and the purchase of 661,470 treasury shares at a cost of $12.7 million. Book value per common share was $15.26 at September 30, 2014 compared to $14.36 at December 31, 2013.

On May 22, 2013, the Company announced the authorization by the Board of Directors of a new common stock repurchase program, which authorizes the purchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company repurchased 661,470 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average cost of $19.14 per share. At September 30, 2014, 888,400 shares remain to be repurchased under the current stock repurchase program. Stock will be purchased under the current stock repurchase program from time to time, in the open market or through private transactions subject to market conditions and at the discretion of the management of the Company. There is no expiration or maximum dollar amount under this authorization.

Cash flow. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, funds provided by the Company's operating activities amounted to $42.2 million. These funds combined with $122.0 million provided from financing activities and $33.5 million available at the beginning of the period were utilized to fund net investing activities of $167.2 million. The Company's primary business objective is the origination and purchase of multi-family residential loans, commercial business loans and commercial real estate mortgage loans and to a lesser extent one-to-four family (including mixed-use properties) and SBA loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the net total of loan originations and purchases less loan repayments and sales was $216.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company also funded $132.2 million in purchases of securities available for sale and repaid $157.1 million in long-term borrowed funds. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, funds were provided by net increases of $130.1 million in total deposits and $25.0 million in short-term borrowed funds. Additionally, funds were provided by $180.0 million in proceeds from maturities, sales, calls and prepayments of securities available for sale. The Company also used funds of $13.5 million and $13.8 million for dividend payments and purchases of treasury stock, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Consolidated Statements of Financial Position have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in fair value of certain investments due to changes in interest rates. Generally, the fair value of financial investments such as loans and securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could result in decreases in the fair value of the Company’s interest-earning assets which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations if such assets were sold, or, in the case of securities classified as available-for-sale, decreases in the Company’s stockholders’ equity, if such securities were retained.

The Company manages the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities on a continuous basis to maximize return and adjust its exposure to interest rate risk. On a quarterly basis, management prepares the “Earnings and Economic Exposure to Changes in Interest Rate” report for review by the Board of Directors, as summarized below. This report quantifies the potential changes in net interest income and net portfolio value should interest rates go up or down (shocked) 200 basis points, assuming the yield curves of the rate shocks will be parallel to each other. The Company’s regulators currently place focus on the net portfolio value, focusing on a rate shock up or down of 200 basis points. Net portfolio value is defined as the market value of assets net of the market value of liabilities. The market value of assets and liabilities is determined using a discounted cash flow calculation. The net portfolio value ratio is the ratio of the net portfolio value to the market value of assets. All changes in income and value are measured as percentage changes from the projected net interest income and net portfolio value at the base interest rate scenario. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at September 30, 2014. Various estimates regarding prepayment assumptions are made at each level of rate shock. However, prepayment penalty income is excluded from this analysis. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. At September 30, 2014, the Company was within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for each interest rate level.

The following table presents the Company’s interest rate shock as of September 30, 2014:

|  | Projected Percentage Change In |  |  |  |
Change in Interest Rate |  | Net Interest Income |  |  | Net Portfolio Value |  |  | Net Portfolio Value Ratio |
-200 Basis points |  |  | -3.57 | % |  |  | 12.07 | % |  |  | 14.01 | %
-100 Basis points |  |  | 0.10 |  |  |  | 8.38 |  |  |  | 13.80 |

AVERAGE BALANCES

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields include amortizations of fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCUTURED (“TDR”) AND NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

Management continues to adhere to the Bank’s conservative underwriting standards. The majority of the Bank’s non-performing loans are collateralized by residential income producing properties that are occupied, thereby retaining more of their value and reducing the potential loss. The Bank takes a proactive approach to managing delinquent loans, including conducting site examinations and encouraging borrowers to meet with a Bank representative. The Bank has been developing short-term payment plans that enable certain borrowers to bring their loans current. The Bank reviews its delinquencies on a loan by loan basis and continually explores ways to help borrowers meet their obligations and return them back to current status. At times, the Bank may restructure a loan to enable a borrower to continue making payments when it is deemed to be in the best long-term interest of the Bank. This restructure may include making concessions to the borrower that the Bank would not make in the normal course of business, such as reducing the interest rate until the next reset date, extending the amortization period thereby lowering the monthly payments, or changing the loan to interest only payments for a limited time period. At times, certain problem loans have been restructured by combining more than one of these options. The Bank believes that restructuring these loans in this manner will allow certain borrowers to become and remain current on their loans. The Bank classifies these loans as TDR. Loans which have been current for six consecutive months at the time they are restructured as TDR remain on accrual status. Loans which were delinquent at the time they are restructured as a TDR are placed on non-accrual status until they have made timely payments for six consecutive months. Loans that are restructured as TDR but are not performing in accordance with the restructured terms are excluded from the TDR table below, as they are placed on non-accrual status and reported as non-performing loans.

The following table shows loans classified as TDR that are performing according to their restructured terms at the periods indicated:

Total |  | - |  | 380 |  | 383
Total performing troubled debt restructured |  | $10,466 |  | $10,540 |  | $13,386

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, three TDR loans totaling $2.7 million were transferred to non-performing status, which resulted in these loans being included in non-performing loans. Two of these loans were paid subsequent to being transferred to non-performing loans and prior to the end of the second quarter of 2014. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2014, one loan for $0.4 million was transferred from performing non-accrual status to performing accrual status as it has made timely payments for six consecutive months.

Interest income on loans is recognized on the accrual basis. The accrual of income on loans is discontinued when certain factors, such as contractual delinquency of 90 days or more, indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectability of such income. Additionally, uncollected interest previously recognized on non-accrual loans is reversed from interest income at the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Loans in default 90 days or more, as to their maturity date but not their payments, continue to accrue interest as long as the borrower continues to remit monthly payments.

CRITICIZED AND CLASSIFIED ASSETS

Our policy is to review our assets, focusing primarily on the loan portfolio, OREO and the investment portfolios, to ensure that the credit quality is maintained at the highest levels. When weaknesses are identified, immediate action is taken to correct the problem through direct contact with the borrower or issuer. We then monitor these assets, and, in accordance with our policy and current regulatory guidelines, we designate them as “Special Mention,” which is considered a “Criticized Asset,” and “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” or “Loss” which are considered “Classified Assets,” as deemed necessary. These asset designations are updated quarterly. We designate an asset as Substandard when a well-defined weakness is identified that jeopardizes the orderly liquidation of the debt. We designate an asset as Doubtful when it displays the inherent weakness of a Substandard asset with the added provision that collection of the debt in full, on the basis of existing facts, is highly improbable. We designate an asset as Loss if it is deemed the debtor is incapable of repayment. We do not hold any loans designated as loss, as loans that are designated as Loss are charged to the Allowance for Loan Losses. Assets that are non-accrual are designated as Substandard or Doubtful. We designate an asset as Special Mention if the asset does not warrant designation within one of the other categories, but does contain a potential weakness that deserves closer attention. Our total Criticized and Classified assets were $95.4 million at September 30, 2014, a decrease of $34.7 million from $130.2 million at December 31, 2013.

(1) Our investment securities are classified as securities available for sale and as such are carried at their fair value in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The securities above had a fair value of $6.5 million and $7.9 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Under current applicable regulatory guidelines, we are required to disclose the classified investment securities, as shown in the tables above, at their book values (amortized cost, or fair value for securities that are under the fair value option). Additionally, the requirement is only for the Bank’s securities. Flushing Financial Corporation did not have any securities classified or criticized at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

On a quarterly basis all collateral dependent loans that are classified as Substandard or Doubtful are internally reviewed for impairment, based on updated cash flows for income producing properties, or updated independent appraisals. The loan balances of collateral dependent loans reviewed for impairment are then compared to the loans updated fair value. We consider fair value of collateral dependent loans to be 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property. The balance which exceeds fair value is generally charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. At September 30, 2014, the current loan-to-value ratio on our collateral dependent loans reviewed for impairment was 50.3%.

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We classify investment securities as Substandard when, based on an internal review, we concluded the securities are below investment grade. We have designated a total of two investment securities that are held at the Bank as Substandard at September 30, 2014. Our classified investment securities at September 30, 2014 held by the Bank include two issues of pooled trust preferred securities. The Investment Securities which are classified as Substandard at September 30, 2014 are securities that were rated investment grade when we purchased them. These securities have each been subsequently downgraded by at least one rating agency to below investment grade. We test each of these securities quarterly for impairment, through an independent third party.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

We have established and maintain on our books an allowance for loan losses that is designed to provide a reserve against estimated losses inherent in our overall loan portfolio. The allowance is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the various components of the loan portfolio and other factors, including historical loan loss experience (which is updated quarterly), current economic conditions, delinquency and non-accrual trends, classified loan levels, risk in the portfolio and volumes and trends in loan types, recent trends in charge-offs, changes in underwriting standards, experience, ability and depth of our lenders, collection policies and experience, internal loan review function and other external factors. Additionally, we segregated our loans into two portfolios based on year of origination. One portfolio was reviewed for loans originated after December 31, 2009 and a second portfolio for loans originated prior to January 1, 2010. Our decision to segregate the portfolio based upon origination dates was based on changes made in our underwriting standards during 2009. By the end of 2009, all loans were being underwritten based on revised and tightened underwriting standards. Loans originated prior to 2010 have a higher delinquency rate and loss history. Each of the years in the portfolio for loans originated prior to 2010 have a similar delinquency rate. The determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses includes estimates that are susceptible to significant changes due to changes in appraisal values of collateral, national and local economic conditions and other factors. We review our loan portfolio by separate categories with similar risk and collateral characteristics. Impaired loans are segregated and reviewed separately. All non-accrual loans are classified as impaired. Impaired loans secured by collateral are reviewed based on the fair value of their collateral. For non-collateralized impaired loans, management estimates any recoveries that are anticipated for each loan. In connection with the determination of the allowance, the market value of collateral is generally evaluated by our staff appraiser. On a quarterly basis, the estimated values of impaired collateral dependent loans are internally reviewed, based on updated cash flows for income producing properties, and at times an updated independent appraisal is obtained. The loan balances of collateral dependent impaired loans are then compared to the property’s updated fair value. We consider fair value of collateral dependent loans to be 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property. The balance which exceeds fair value is generally charged-off. When evaluating a loan for impairment, we do not rely on guarantees, and the amount of impairment, if any, is based on the fair value of the collateral. We do not carry loans at a value in excess of the fair value due to a guarantee from the borrower. Impaired collateral dependent loans that were written down resulted from quarterly reviews or updated appraisals that indicated the properties’ estimated value had declined from when the loan was originated. The Board of Directors reviews and approves the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis.

In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, we review our loan portfolio by separate categories which have similar risk and collateral characteristics, e.g., multi-family residential, commercial real estate, one-to-four family mixed-use property, one-to-four family residential, co-operative apartment, construction, SBA, commercial business, taxi medallion and consumer loans. General provisions are established against performing loans in our portfolio in amounts deemed prudent based on our qualitative analysis of the factors, including the historical loss experience, delinquency trends and local economic conditions. We experienced total net charge-offs of $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to total net charge-offs of $5.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013. Non-performing loans totaled $35.7 million and $61.2 million at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Bank’s underwriting standards generally require a loan-to-value ratio of no more than 75% at the time the loan is originated. At September 30, 2014, the average loan-to-value ratio for our non-performing loans collateralized by real estate was 50.3%. A (benefit) provision for loan losses of ($0.6 million) and $3.5 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Management has concluded, and the Board of Directors has concurred, that at September 30, 2014, the allowance for loan losses was sufficient to absorb losses inherent in our loan portfolio.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Basel III

In the summer of 2012, our primary federal regulators published two Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPRs”) that would have substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and depository institutions, including the Company and the Bank, compared to the then current U.S. risk-based capital rules, which are based on the international capital accords of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, which are generally referred to as “Basel I.”

During July 2013, our primary federal regulators issued revised NPRs that will revise and replace the agencies' current capital rules. The NPRs include numerous revisions to the existing capital regulations, including, but not limited to, the following:

- Revises the definition of regulatory capital components and related calculations.
- Adds a new common equity tier 1 capital ratio.
- Increases the minimum tier 1 capital ratio requirement from four percent to six percent.
- Incorporates the revised regulatory capital requirements into the Prompt Corrective Action framework.
- Implements a new capital conservation buffer that would limit payment of capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers and key risk takers if the banking organization does not hold certain amounts of common equity tier 1 capital in addition to those needed to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.
- Provides a transition period for several aspects of the proposed rule: the new minimum capital ratio requirements, the capital conservation buffer, and the regulatory capital adjustments and deductions.
- Increases capital requirements for past-due loans, high volatility commercial real estate exposures, and certain short-term loan commitments.
- Removes references to credit ratings consistent with Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act.
- Establishes due diligence requirements for securitization exposures.

The capital regulations would be effective January 1, 2015 for bank holding companies and banks with less than $15 billion in total assets, such as our Company and Bank. Based on our preliminary assessment of the NPRs, we believe we will see an increase in our total risk-weighted assets. However, the Company and the Bank, based on our preliminary assessment, would meet the requirements of the NPRs and will continue to be considered well-capitalized.

Volcker Rule

On December 10, 2013, our primary federal regulators adopted Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act, commonly referred to as the “Volcker Rule,” which prohibits insured depository institutions from engaging in short-term proprietary trading of certain securities, derivatives and other financial instruments for the firm’s own account, subject to certain exemptions, including market making and risk-mitigating hedging. The Volcker Rule also imposes limits on banking entities’ investments in, and other relationships with, hedge funds and private equity funds.

The rule as adopted prohibited banking entities from owning collateralized debt obligations backed primarily by trust preferred securities (“TruPS CDOs”) after July 21, 2015. At September 30, 2014, the Company held TruPs CDOs with an amortized cost and market value totaling $9.3 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

On January 14, 2014, our primary federal regulators approved an interim final rule to permit banking entities to retain interests in certain TruPS CDOs from the investment prohibitions of Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act.

Under the interim final rule, the agencies permit the retention of an interest in or sponsorship of covered funds by banking entities if the following qualifications are met:

- the TruPS CDO was established, and the interest was issued, before May 19, 2010;
- the banking entity reasonably believes that the offering proceeds received by the TruPS CDO were invested primarily in Qualifying TruPS Collateral; and
- the banking entity's interest in the TruPS CDO was acquired on or before December 10, 2013.

The interim final rule defines Qualifying TruPS Collateral as any trust preferred security or subordinated debt instrument that was:

- issued prior to May 19, 2010, by a depository institution holding company that as of the end of any reporting period within 12 months immediately preceding the issuance of such trust preferred security or subordinated debt instrument had total consolidated assets of less than $15 billion; or
- issued prior to May 19, 2010, by a mutual holding company.

As a result of the interim final rule, the Company determined that the TruPS CDOs it owns at September 30, 2014 are not prohibited by the Volcker Rule.
