Dear Shareholders:

2013 was an eventful year for Central Federal Corporation. Here are some of the Highlights:

| · |  | When our team came in 2012, our Balance Sheet and Earning Assets were shrinking. By the end of the first quarter of 2013, we stabilized the runoff and had begun to grow loans and Earning Assets.

| · |  | In 2013, we successfully repositioned what was formerly a thrift platform, into a niche full-service business Bank. Our business model, which provides access to decision makers and involves seasoned business bankers functioning in relationship management roles, has resonated strongly with owners of closely held businesses and entrepreneurs. During 2013, our business banking unit increased loans by more than 50%.

| · |  | During the fourth quarter of 2013 we completed the sale of the Fairlawn office building, producing a book gain of nearly $1 million. In addition, we have entered into an agreement to move our Fairlawn location into a bank branch location nearby. This move enhances our services by adding a drive-thru facility and an on-site ATM.

| · |  | Additionally, we have recently expanded into the Cleveland market opening a loan production office located on Chagrin Boulevard. We have had success adding relationships in the Cleveland area and believe having a presence there will further enhance our growth and new business opportunities.

| · |  | With the opening of our Cleveland office, we now have a presence in all three of Ohio’s largest metro markets, Columbus, Akron and Cleveland along with our two offices in Eastern Ohio (Columbiana County) located near Marcellas and the Utica Oil Shale Corridors. Being able to access quality loan growth from three major metro markets and deposits from two Community Bank locations, ha s positioned CFBank uniquely amongst our peers.

| · |  | During January of 2014, the OCC lifted the Cease and Desist Order for CFBank, which had been in place since 2011, (prior to our recapitalization). This will allow us to again accept public fund deposits and CDAR’s deposits, and to reduce insurance expenses. We believe it will also give us a boost in our recruiting and business development efforts. Also, it opens the door to possible M&A opportunities.

| · |  | On the credit quality front for 2013, we have reduced our Criticized and Cl assified loan levels by approximately 38%. We have also strengthened our credit underwriting processing and procedures.

| · |  | In addition, in 2013, we focused on building a Residential Mortgage Lending Division. Although a nticipated loan volumes have been adversely impacted by the nationwide drop in refinancing, we expect our investment in this area to begin to contribute to earnings in the coming months.

| · |  | We enter 2014 with strong pipelines of new business quite in contrast to how we began 2013. We believe that we have improved the fundamentals in every key measurement of performance and are well positioned for continued growth and performance improvement in 2014.

We are most appreciative of our CFBank customers, shareholders and employees for your loyalty and support. Additionally, we are grateful for the marketplace reception of the repositioning of CFBank. Our management team remains focused on relentlessly executing the Business Plan, Strategies and Tactics which we put into place at the onset, following the recapitalization.

ONWARD AND UPWARD!!

Various risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by our forward-looking statements. The following, among other factors, could cause such differences:

| · |  | a continuation of difficult economic conditions including high unemployment rates or other adverse changes in general economic conditions, economic conditions in the markets we serve, any of which may affect, among other things, our level of nonperforming assets, charge-offs, and provision for loan loss expense;

| · |  | changes in interest rates that may reduce net interest margin and impact funding sources;

| · |  | the possibility that we will need to make increased provisions for loan losses;

| · |  | our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to continue to fund our operations;

| · |  | the possibility of other-than-temporary impairment of securities held in our securities portfolio;

| · |  | results of examinations of the Holding Company and CFBank by the regulators, including the possibility that the regulators may, among other things, require CFBank to increase its allowance for loan losses or write-down assets;

| · |  | our ability to continue to meet regulatory guidelines, and to meet the requirements of the regulatory orders and commitments to which we are subject

| · |  | uncertainty related to the counterparty to call our interest-rate swaps;

| · |  | uncertainty related to our ability to participate in the brokered CD markets including the ability to roll over or renew reciprocal CDARS deposits;

| · |  | our ability to generate profits in the future;

| · |  | our ability to raise additional capital in the future, if necessary;

| · |  | changes in tax laws, rules and regulations;

| · |  | increases in deposit insurance rates or premiums;

| · |  | further legislative and regulatory changes which may increase compliance costs and burdens;

| · |  | unexpected losses of key management;

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance or results. A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking statement. The Holding Company, including its subsidiaries, together referred to as “the Company,” believes it has chosen these assumptions or bases in good faith and that they are reasonable. We caution you, however, that assumptions or bases almost always vary from actual results, and the differences between assumptions or bases and actual results can be material. The forward-looking statements included in this report speak only as of the date of the report. We undertake no obligation to publicly release revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements, except to the extent required by law.

Our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), detail other risks, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.

General

The Holding Company is a savings and loan holding company incorporated in Delaware in 1998. Substantially all of our business is conducted through our principal subsidiary, CFBank, a federally chartered savings association formed in Ohio in 1892.

CFBank is a community-oriented financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities we serve. Our business model emphasizes personalized service, clients’ access to decision makers, solution-driven lending and quick execution, efficient use of technology and the convenience of online internet banking, mobile banking, remote deposit and corporate cash management. We attract retail and business deposits from the general public and use the deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, primarily to originate commercial and commercial real estate loans, single-family and multi-family residential mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit. The majority of our customers are small businesses, small business owners and consumers.

Our principal market area for loans and deposits includes the following Ohio counties: Summit County through our office in Fairlawn, Ohio; Franklin County through our office in Worthington, Ohio; and Columbiana County through our offices in Calcutta and Wellsville, Ohio. In January 2014, we also opened a loan production office in Woodmere, Ohio to service loan customers in Cuyahoga County. We originate commercial and residential real estate loans and business loans primarily throughout Ohio. Most of our deposits and loans come from our market area. Because of CFBank’s concentration of business activities in Ohio, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations depend upon economic conditions in Ohio.

Our net income is dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on loans and securities and our cost of funds, consisting of interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand, the level of nonperforming assets and deposit flows.

Our net income is dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on loans and securities and our cost of funds, consisting of interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand, the level of nonperforming assets and deposit flows.

Net income is also affected by, among other things, provisions for loan losses, loan fee income, service charges, gains on loan sales, operating expenses, and franchise and income taxes. Operating expenses principally consist of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy, FDIC insurance premiums and other general and administrative expenses. In general, results of operations are significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates and real estate values, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Our r egulators have extensive discretion in their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on our operations, the classification of our assets and determination of the level of our allowance for loan losses. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, legislation or supervisory action, may have a material impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

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

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). The Dodd-Frank Act included numerous provisions designed to strengthen the financial industry, enhance consumer protection, expand disclosures and provide for transparency. Some of these provisions included changes to FDIC insurance coverage, which included a permanent increase in the coverage to $250,000 per depositor. Additional provisions created a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, which is authorized to write rules on all consumer financial products. Still other provisions created a Financial Stability Oversight Council, which is not only empowered to determine the entities that are systemically significant and therefore require more stringent regulations, but which is also charged with reviewing, and, when appropriate, submitting comments to the SEC and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) with respect to existing or proposed accounting principles, standards or procedures. The aforementioned are only a few of the numerous provisions included in the Dodd-Frank Act. The overall impact of the entire Dodd-Frank Act will not be known until full implementation is completed, but the possibility of significant additional compliance costs exists, and the Dodd-Frank Act consequently may have a material adverse impact on our operations.

The disruption in capital, credit and financial markets which began in 2008 continued to have a detrimental effect on our national and local economies into 2013. These effects have included lower real estate values; tightened availability of credit; increased loan delinquencies, foreclosures, personal and business bankruptcies and unemployment rates; decreased consumer confidence and spending; significant loan charge-offs and write-downs of asset values by financial institutions and government-sponsored agencies; and a reduction of manufacturing and service business activity and international trade. We do not expect these difficult market conditions to improve in the short term, and a continuation or worsening of these conditions could increase their adverse effects. Adverse effects of these conditions could include increases in loan delinquencies and charge-offs; increases in our loan loss reserves based on general economic factors; increases to our specific loan loss reserves due to the impact of these conditions on specific borrowers or the collateral for their loans; increases in the number of foreclosed assets; declines in the value of our foreclosed assets due to the impact of these conditions on property values; increases in our cost of funds due to increased competition and aggressive deposit pricing by local and national competitors with liquidity needs; attrition of our core deposits due to this aggressive deposit pricing and/or consumer concerns about the safety of their deposits; increases in regulatory and compliance costs; and declines in the trading price of our common stock.

Cease and Desist Orders

On May 25, 2011, the Holding Company and CFBank each consented to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist (the “Holding Company Order” and the “CFBank Order”, respectively, and collectively, the “Orders”) by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”), the primary regulator of the Holding Company and CFBank at the time the Orders were issued. In July 2011, in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the FED replaced the OTS as the primary regulator of the Holding Company and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) replaced the OTS as the primary regulator of CFBank. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for additional information regarding the Orders.

The Orders have imposed significant directives applicable to the Holding Company and CFBank, including requirements that we reduce the level of our classified and criticized assets, achieve growth and operating metrics in line with an approved business plan, and comply with restrictions on brokered deposits and on certain types of lending and prohibitions on dividends and repurchases of our capital stock. The CFBank Order required CFBank to have 8% core capital and 12% total risk-based capital, and CFBank could not be considered well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations so long as the CFBank Order remained in place, even if it met or exceeded these capital levels. In addition, the regulators were required to approve any deviation from our business plan and certain compensation arrangements with directors and executive officers.

On August 20, 2012, the Holding Company announced the successful completion of its restructured registered common stock offering. The Holding Company sold 15.0 million shares of its common stock at $1.50 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $22.5 million before expenses. With the proceeds from the stock offering, the Holding Company contributed $13.5 million to CFBank to improve its capital ratios and support future growth and expansion, bringing CFBank into compliance with the capital ratios required by the CFBank Order. In addition, the Holding Company used proceeds from the common stock offering to redeem its TARP obligations on September 26, 2012. The remaining proceeds from the restructured registered common stock offering were retained by the Company for general corporate purposes. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for additional information regarding the stock offering.

Effective as of January 23, 2014, the OCC released and terminated the CFBank Order based upon the improved capital position of CFBank, among other factors. Notwithstanding the release of the CFBank Order, CFBank is required to continue to maintain a minimum Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 8% and a Total Risk-based Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets ratio of 12%. In addition, in connection with the release and termination of the CFBank Order, CFBank has made certain commitments to the OCC to continue to adhere to certain prudent practices, including, without limitation, maintaining a written program to continue to improve CFBank’s credit underwriting and administrative process; take actions to protect its interest in criticized assets as identified by CFBank, the OCC examiners or its external loan review process and implement its written program to effectively identify, monitor, control and continue to reduce the level of credit risk to CFBank; review and monitor progress against such plan with the Board of Directors and continue CFBank’s aggressive workout efforts and individualized workout plans on all criticized assets greater than $250,000. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for additional information regarding the Orders.

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

The Holding Company Order remains in effect with the FRB. The Holding Company Order requires the Company, among other things, to: (i) submit by every December 31 a capital plan to the FRB that establishes a minimum tangible capital ratio commensurate with the Company’s consolidated risk profile, reduces the risk from current debt levels and addresses the Company’s cash flow needs; (ii) not pay cash dividends, redeem stock or make any other capital distributions without prior regulatory approval; (iii) not pay interest or principal on any debt or increase any Company debt or guarantee the debt of any entity without prior regulatory approval; (iv) obtain prior regulatory approval for changes in directors and senior executive officers; and (iv) not enter into any new contractual arrangement related to compensation to benefits with any director or senior executive officer without prior notification to the FRB. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for additional information regarding the Orders.

The significant directives contained in the Orders, including the requirement to reduce the level of our criticized classified assets, maintain growth and operating parameters in line with our business plan, restrictions on broker deposits, restrictions on certain types of lending and restrictions on dividend payments, have provided challenges for our operation of our business and our ability to effectively compete in our markets. In addition, the Orders have required that we obtain approval from our regulators for any deviations from our business plan, which has limited our flexibility to make changes to the scope of our business activities. We have also incurred significant additional regulatory compliance expense in connection with the Orders, and it is possible that regulatory compliance expenses related to the Orders could continue to have a material adverse impact on us in the future.

Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. Pursuant to the CFBank Order, CFBank may not declare or pay dividends or make any other capital distributions without receiving prior written regulatory approval. Future dividend payments by CFBank to the Holding Company would be based on future earnings and regulatory approval. The payment of dividends from CFBank to the Holding Company is not likely to be approved by regulators while CFBank is suffering losses. As a result of the current level of problem assets and the continuing slow economy, it is unlikely CFBank will be able to pay dividends to the Holding Company until such issues are resolved. The Holding Company, as a result of the 2012 stock offering, has adequate operating capital for the foreseeable future. The Holding Company had $3.3 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2013. The regulators have further required the Holding Company to develop a business plan, separate from the Bank, that enables it to significantly reduce its dependence on CFBank for dividends through alternative funding mechanisms.

Management’s discussion and analysis represents a review of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. This review should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

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

Financial Condition

General. Assets totaled $255.7 million at December 31, 2013 an increase of $40.7 million, or 18.9%, from $215.0 million at December 31, 2012. The increase is mainly attributed to an increase in net loan balances of $54.1 million, offset by an $8 million decline in investment securities and $6.0 million decline in cash and cash equivalents which was used to fund loan growth.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $19.2 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $6.0 million, or 23.8%, from $25.2 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was a result of utilizing excess liquidity to fund growth in the loan portfolios.

Securities. Securities available for sale totaled $9.7 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $8.0 million or 45.2% compared to $17.6 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease was due to scheduled payments and maturities, which was used to fund loan growth.

Loans. Net loans totaled $207.1 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $54.1 million or 35.4%, from $153.0 million at December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to growth in commercial real estate, commercial, construction and multi-family residential loan balances, which was partially offset by a decline in residential mortgage loans due to slowing activity in the Northpointe Mortgage Purchase program discussed below. A renewed lending focus was a key driver in growing earning assets.

On December 11, 2012, CFBank entered into a Mortgage Purchase Program with Northpointe Bank (Northpointe), a Michigan banking corporation. Through a participation agreement, CFBank agreed to purchase from Northpointe an 80% interest in fully underwritten and pre-sold mortgage loans originated by various prescreened mortgage brokers located throughout the U.S. The participation agreement provides for CFBank to purchase individually (MERS registered) loans from Northpointe and hold them until funded by the end investor. This process on average takes approximately 14 days. Given the short term nature of each of these individual loans, common credit risks such as past due, impairment and trouble debt restructure (TDR), nonperforming, and nonaccrual classification are substantially reduced. Accordingly, due to the low credit risk associated with these loans, there are no reserves allocated to these loans. Northpointe maintains a 20% ownership interest in each loan it participates. Interest income earned on these loans is based on a contractual interest rate, during the time the loans are outstanding, as opposed to being recorded as a gain on sale of loans. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, loan origination activity totaled $469,389 and $33,890, respectively, and payoffs for the same period totaled $482,019 and $8,530, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, CFBank held $12.7 million and $25.4 million, respectively, of such loans which are included in single- family residential loan totals; the decline in the period end balance is due to a softening in the mortgage market that occurred during the latter part of 2013.

Allowance for loan losses (ALLL). The allowance for loan losses totaled $5.7 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $492,000, or 9.4%, from $5.2 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in the ALLL is due to a combination of factors including a 35.4% increase in overall loan balances and an increase in the specific reserve for a multifamily loan, partially offset by a 9.7% decrease in nonperforming loans, a 20.9% decrease in past due loans, and a 38.0% combined decrease in special mention and substandard loans, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The ratio of the ALLL to total loans was 2.69% at December 31, 2013, compared to 3.31% at December 31, 2012; the decline is primarily attribut able to an increase in the loan portfolio combined with improving asset quality. In addition, the ratio of the ALLL to nonperforming loans improved to 99.9% at December 31, 2013, compared to 82.4% at December 31, 2012.

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

The ALLL is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. The ALLL methodology is designed as part of a thorough process that incorporates management’s current judgments about the credit quality of the loan portfolio into a determination of the ALLL in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and supervisory guidance. Management analyzes the adequacy of the ALLL quarterly through reviews of the loan portfolio, including the nature and volume of the loan portfolio and segments of the portfolio; industry and loan concentrations; historical loss experience; delinquency statistics and the level of nonperforming loans; specific problem loans; the ability of borrowers to meet loan terms; an evaluation of collateral securing loans and the market for various types of collateral; various collection strategies; current economic conditions, trends and outlook; and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate ALLL. Based on the variables involved and the significant judgments management must make about outcomes that are uncertain, the determination of the ALLL is considered to be a critical accounting policy. See the section titled “Critical Accounting Policies” for additional discussion.

The ALLL consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that CFBank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans of all classes within the commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family residential loan segments, regardless of size, and loans of all other classes over $500,000, are individually evaluated for impairment when they are 90 days past due, or earlier than 90 days past due if information regarding the payment capacity of the borrower indicates that payment in full according to the loan terms is doubtful. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate, or at the fair value of collateral, less costs to sell, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance loans, such as consumer and single-family residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Loans within any class for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) and are classified as impaired. See Notes 1 and 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for additional information regarding the ALLL.

Individually impaired loans totaled $8.9 million at December 31, 2013, and decreased $941,000, or 9.5%, from $9.9 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to charge-offs of $59,000, transfer to REO of $203,000, and impaired loan pay-offs of $1.4 million, partially off-set by $724,000 in loans that became impaired during the year. The amount of the ALLL specifically allocated to individually impaired loans totaled $1.1 million at December 31, 2013 and $0.8 million at December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to one multi-family loan where an increase in the reserve allocation was deemed necessary.

The specific reserve on impaired loans is based on management’s estimate of the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate or the fair value of collateral, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. On at least a quarterly basis, management reviews each impaired loan to determine whether it should have a specific reserve or partial charge-off. Management relies on appraisals or internal evaluations to help make this determination. Determination of whether to use an updated appraisal or internal evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, the age of the loan and the most recent appraisal, condition of the property and whether we expect the collateral to go through the foreclosure or liquidation process. Management considers the need for a downward adjustment to the valuation based on current market conditions and on management’s analysis, judgment and experience. The amount ultimately charged-off for

10

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

these loans may be different from the specific reserve, as the ultimate liquidation of the collateral and/or projected cash flows may be different from management’s estimates.

Nonperforming loans, which are nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days past due but still accruing interest, decreased $618,000, or 9.7%, and totaled $5.7 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in nonperforming loans was primarily due to $1.3 million in loan payoffs, $203,000 transfer to REO and, to a lesser extent, $73,000 in loan charge-offs, partially offset by $930,000 in additional loans that became nonperforming during 2013. The $930,000 in loans that became nonperforming during 2013 were related to seven single-family real estate loans which totaled $458,000, one commercial real estate loan which totaled $420,000 and one consumer loan which totaled $52,000 at December 31, 2013. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 2.70% at December 31, 2013, compared to 4.02% at December 31, 2012. The following table presents information regarding the number and balance of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

| December 31, 2013 | December 31, 2012
|  | # of loans |  | Balance |  | # of loans |  | balance
Commercial |  | 2 |  | $ | 563 |  | 3 |  | $ | 714
Single-family residential real estate |  | 10 |  |  | 479 |  | 5 |  |  | 113
Multi-family residential real estate |  | 1 |  |  | 1,701 |  | 2 |  |  | 2,082
Commercial real estate |  | 5 |  |  | 2,943 |  | 9 |  |  | 3,438
Home equity lines of credit |  | 1 |  |  | 52 |  | 1 |  |  | 9
Total |  | 19 |  | $ | 5,738 |  | 20 |  | $ | 6,356

Nonaccrual loans include some loans that were modified and identified as TDRs and the loans are not performing. TDRs included in nonaccrual loans totaled $2.6 million at December 31, 2013 and $3.3 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in TDRs included in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to loan repayments.

Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 do not include $3.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of TDRs where customers have established a sustained period of repayment performance, generally six months, the loans are current according to their modified terms and repayment of the remaining contractual payments is expected. These loans are included in total impaired loans.

See Notes 1 and 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for additional information regarding impaired loans and nonperforming loans.

The general reserve component covers non impaired loans of all classes and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by loan class and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over a three year period. The general component is calculated based on CFBank’s loan balances and actual historical three year historical loss rates. For loans with little or no actual loss experience, industry estimates are used based on loan segment. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic and judgmental factors based on the risks present for each loan class. These economic and judgmental factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends

11

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

in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

During the fourth quarter, after running parallel calculations and analyzing results for the last two quarters, the Bank revised its ALLL methodology for the general reserve. Previously, the base methodology relied more heavily on industry data and loss given default rates and probability of default. Based on the fact that the Bank has been tracking historical loss rates for a significant time, the new methodology uses a historical three year loss rate as its base methodology. Similar to before, the base methodology may be supplemented with economic and judgmental factors. Based on the change in methodology which considered portfolio migration, three year loss rates and revised economic and judgmental factors, a $250,000 reduction to the allowance for loan loss was recorded. The impact on prior quarters was not considered material.

Management’s loan review process is an integral part of identifying problem loans and determining the ALLL. We maintain an internal credit rating system and loan review procedures specifically developed as the primary credit quality indicator to monitor credit risk for commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family residential real estate loans. We analyze these loans individually and categorize loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. Credit reviews for these loan types are performed at least annually, and more often for loans with higher credit risk. Loan officers maintain close contact with borrowers between reviews. Adjustments to loan risk ratings are based on the reviews and at any time information is received that may affect risk ratings. Additionally, an independent third party review of commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family residential loans is performed at least semi-annually. Management uses the results of these reviews to help determine the effectiveness of the existing policies and procedures and to provide an independent assessment of our internal loan risk rating system.

We have incorporated the regulatory asset classifications as a part of our credit monitoring and internal loan risk rating system. In accordance with regulations, problem loans are classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss, and the classifications are subject to review by the regulators. Assets designated as special mention are considered criticized assets. Assets designated as substandard, doubtful or loss are considered classified assets. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for additional information regarding descriptions of the regulatory asset classifications.

The level of CFBank’s criticized and classified loans continues to be negatively impacted by the duration and lingering nature of the current recessionary economic environment and its continued detrimental effects on some of our borrowers, including deterioration in client business performance, declines in borrowers’ cash flows and lower collateral values. However, the levels of criticized and classified loans decreased during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. Loans designated as special mention decreased $10.1 million, or 77.5%, and totaled $2.9 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $13.1 million at December 31, 2012. Loans classified as substandard decreased $786,000, or 5.0%, and totaled $14.9 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $15.7 million at December 31, 2012. No loans were classified as doubtful at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report for additional information regarding risk classification of loans.

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

In addition to credit monitoring through our internal loan risk rating system, we also monitor past due information for all loan segments. Loans that are not rated under our internal credit rating system include groups of homogenous loans, such as single-family residential real estate loans and consumer loans. The primary credit indicator for these groups of homogenous loans is past due information.

Total past due loans decreased $666,000, or 20.9%, and totaled $2.5 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2012. Past due loans totaled 1.2% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2013, compared to 2.0% at December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower delinquency rates in the commercial, single-family residential and commercial real estate loan segments. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding loan delinquencies.

All lending activity involves risk of loss. Certain types of loans, such as option adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) products, junior lien mortgages, high loan-to-value ratio mortgages, interest only loans, subprime loans and loans with initial teaser rates, can have a greater risk of non-collection than other loans. CFBank has not engaged in subprime lending, used option ARM products or made loans with initial teaser rates.

Unsecured commercial loans may present a higher risk of non-collection than secured commercial loans. Unsecured commercial loans totaled $3.7 million, or 10.0% of the commercial loan portfolio, at December 31, 2013. The unsecured loans are primarily lines of credit to small businesses in CFBank’s market area and are guaranteed by the small business owners. At December 31, 2013, none of the unsecured loans were 30 days or more delinquent.

Loans that contain interest only payments may present a higher risk than those loans with an amortizing payment that includes periodic principal reductions. Interest only loans are primarily commercial lines of credit secured by business assets and inventory, and consumer home equity lines of credit secured by the borrower’s primary residence. Due to the fluctuations in business assets and inventory of our commercial borrowers, CFBank has increased risk due to a potential decline in collateral values without a corresponding decrease in the outstanding principal. Interest only commercial lines of credit totaled $12.9 million, or 34.4% of the commercial portfolio, at December 31, 2013. Given the recessionary effects of the economy, as previously discussed, the collateral that secures the home equity lines of credit may have experienced a deterioration in value since the loan was originated, increasing the risk to CFBank. Interest only home equity lines of credit totaled $12.1 million, or 8 1.0% of total home equity lines of credit, at December 31, 2013.

We believe the ALLL is adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2013; however, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on factors including, but not limited to, further deterioration in client business performance, continued or deepening recessionary economic conditions, declines in borrowers’ cash flows and market conditions which result in lower real estate values. Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the ALLL. Such agencies may require additional provisions for loan losses based on judgments and estimates that differ from those used by management, or on information available at the time of their review. Management continues to diligently monitor credit quality in the existing portfolio and analyze potential loan opportunities carefully in order to manage credit risk. An increase in loan losses could occur if economic conditions and factors which affect credit quality, real estate values and general business conditions worsen or do not improve.

Foreclosed assets. Foreclosed assets totaled $1.6 million at December 31, 2013, and increased $111,000, or 7.3%, compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2012. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, there was a sale of a single-family residential property, a small recovery on a commercial property and the single-family residential property that transferred into REO in May 2013, which was subsequently sold in August 2013. In addition, there was an increase of approximately $172,500 related to additional units of the one remaining multi-family property in Mansfield, Ohio. Foreclosed assets at December 31, 2013 consisted of the one aforementioned multi-family property.

Premises and equipment. Premises and equipment, net, totaled $3.5 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 33.3%, from $5.3 million at December 31, 2012. The decline is mainly attributed to the sale of the Company’s corporate office building in Fairlawn, Ohio, along with the adjacent land, and certain furniture and fixtures. See Note 8 – Premises and Equipment to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information regarding the transaction.

Deposits. Deposits totaled $208.3 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $34.8 million, or 20.0%, from $173.5 million at December 31, 2012. The increase is primarily attributed to a $32.0 million increase in certificate s of deposits, a $6.1 million increase in money market account balances and a $9.6 million increase in noninterest checking account balances, offset by an $11.1 million decrease in brokered deposits and a $2.3 million decrease in interest bearing checking account balances.

Noninterest bearing checking account balances totaled $27.6 million at December 31, 2013 and increased $9.6 million, or 53.6%, from $18.0 million at December 31, 2013. The increase is attribu table to our focused sales efforts to grow deposits and expanding our relationship opportunities with our customers.

Certificate of deposit account balances totaled $119.0 million at December 31, 2013 and increased $20.9 million, or 21.3%, from $98.2 million at December 31, 2012. The increase was due to a $32.0 million increase in retail deposit accounts offset by a $11.1 million decrease in brokered deposits.

CFBank is a participant in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service® (CDARS) program, a network of banks that allows us to provide our customers with FDIC insurance coverage on certificate of deposit account balances up to $50 million. CDARS balances are considered brokered deposits by regulation. Brokered deposits, including CDARS balances, totaled $21.0 million at December 31, 2013, and decreased $11.1 million, or 34.7%, from $32.1 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in brokered deposits was based on CFBank’s focus on increasing its retail deposits, coupled with the restrictions on acceptance or renewal of brokered deposits. See the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information regarding regulatory restrictions on brokered deposits.

Since receipt of the CFBank Order in May 2011, we have been prohibited from accepting or renewing brokered deposits, including CDARS balances. CFBank received limited waivers from the prohibition on renewal of reciprocal CDARS deposits from the FDIC, and the restrictions were subsequently lifted upon the termination of the CFBank Order in January 2014. Customer balances in the CDARS program totaled $5.9 million at December 31, 2013 and increased $1.8 million, or 42.2%, from $4.2 million at December 31, 2012.

Long-term FHLB advances. Long-term FHLB advances totaled $10.0 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. There are two outstanding advances from the FHLB totaling $5.0 million each. One advance matures in January 2014 and one in May 2014. At year-end 2013, CFBank was limited to borrowing term maturities not exceeding 365 days due to restrictions imposed by FHLB due to the Orders. With the termination of the CFBank Order effective January 23, 2014, the FHLB notified the Bank that the restriction on borrowings terms had been lifted, effective January 24, 2014. See the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information regarding limitations on FHLB advances.

Subordinated debentures. Subordinated debentures totaled $5.2 million at year-end 2013 and 2012. These debentures were issued in 2003 in exchange for the proceeds of a $5.0 million trust preferred securities offering issued by a trust formed by the Holding Company. The terms of the subordinated debentures allow for the Company to defer interest payments for a period not to exceed five years. The Holding Company’s Board of Directors elected to defer interest payments beginning with the quarterly interest payment due on December 30, 2010 in order to preserve cash at the Holding Company prior to completion of the stock offering. Cumulative deferred interest payments through September 30, 2012 totaling $348,000 were subsequently paid current in December 2012 with the approval of the FED using the proceeds from the common stock offering. Cumulative deferred interest payments subsequent to September 30, 2012 have been accrued and totaled $209,600 as of December 31, 2013. Pursuant to the Holding Company Order, the Holding Company may not, directly or indirectly, incur, issue, renew, rollover, or pay interest or principal on any debt (including the subordinated debentures) or commit to do so, increase any current lines of credit, or guarantee the debt of any entity, without prior written notice to and written non-objection from the FED.

Secured borrowings: During the course of 2013, CFBank entered into certain loan participations that, according to the structure of the transactions, did not qualify for sales accounting treatment and are therefore accounted for as secured borrowings. At December 31, 2013, there were five loan participation agreements classified as secured borrowings totaling approximately $6.5 million. There were no secured borrowing transactions as of December 31, 2012. The bank retains an ownership interest in these loans and provides customary servicing to the third-parties which are typically other community banks.

Stockholders’ equity: Stockholders’ equity totaled $22.9 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $779,000 or 3.3% from $23.6 million at December 31, 2012. The decline in total stockholders’ equity was primarily attributed to a $918,000 net operating loss during 2013.

Management continues to proactively monitor capital levels and ratios in its on-going capital planning process and to ensure compliance with the Orders. CFBank has leveraged its capital to support balance sheet growth and drive increased net interest income. The balance sheet growth has resulted in a decline in the Core Capital and Total Risk Based capital ratios, as was anticipated. Management remains focused on preserving capital, and eventually growing capital though improving results from operations; however, should the need arise, CFBank has additional sources of capital and alternatives it could utilize to remain in compliance with the increased capital requirements to which CFBank is subject.

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

Currently, the Holding Company has excess cash to cover its expenses for the foreseeable future, and could inject capital into CFBank if necessary for CFBank to remain in compliance with its required capital ratios. Also, CFBank has the flexibility to manage its balance sheet size as a result of the short duration of the assets as discussed with the Northpointe mortgage program, as well as to deploy those assets into higher earning assets to improve net interest income as the opportunity presents itself.

During the third quarter of 2013, the Holding Company entered into negotiations regarding the sale of the Fairlawn office building. On October 22, 2013, the Holding Company received regulatory non-objection for the sale as mentioned above, and also received approval to downstream approximately $1.5 million of the proceeds to CFBank to increase its capital. On October 29, 2013, the Company completed the transaction and received proceeds of approximately $3.2 million and recognized a gain on sale of assets of approximately $1.0 million during the fourth quarter. Upon receipt of the proceeds, the Holding Company down-streamed $1.5 million of the proceeds to CFBank on October 30, 2013.

On August 20, 2012, the Company announced the successful completion of its common stock offering. The Company sold 15.0 million shares of its common stock at $1.50 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $22.5 million. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for additional information regarding the common stock offering.

The Holding Company was a participant in the TARP Capital Purchase Program and issued $7.2 million of preferred stock to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) on December 5, 2008. In connection with the issuance of the preferred stock, the Holding Company also issued to Treasury a warrant to purchase 67,314 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $16.10 per share. On September 26, 2012, pursuant to an agreement with the Treasury and upon receipt of regulatory approval, the Holding Company utilized $3.0 million of the proceeds from its common stock offering to redeem the TARP obligations. See Notes 17 and 18 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for additional information regarding the terminated TARP Preferred Stock and Common Stock Warrant.

Comparison of Results of Operations for 2013 and 2012

General. Net loss attributable to common stockholders totaled $918,000, or ($0.06) per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $866,000, or $0.14 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2012. For the twelve months ended December, 2012, the discount on the redemption of the TARP obligation increased net earnings attributable to common stockholders by $5.0 million, while the preferred stock dividends and accretion of discount on the preferred stock increased the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by $328,000. Due to the redemption of the TARP obligation on September 26, 2012, there was no impact in 2013 related to the preferred stock dividends and accretion of discount on the net loss attributable to the common stockholders. The net loss of $918,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to the net loss of $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 (excluding the impact of the TARP redemption), improved $2.8 million due primarily to a $752,000 increase in net interest income, a $633,000 decrease in provision expense, a $575,000 decrease in noninterest expense, and a $888,000 increase in noninterest income.

The improved net interest income is mainly attributed to the increase in overall outstanding loan balances, while the reduced provisioning expense is due to the improved credit quality of the loan portfolio through the reduction of problem loans. Additionally, declines in operating expenses from 2012 is primarily attributed to lower costs associated with foreclosed assets, reduced FDIC insurance premiums and reduced director fees.

The discount on redemption of the TARP obligations in 2012 increased earnings available to common stockholders by $5.0 million, which resulted in $0.14 earnings per diluted common share despite the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Net interest income. Net interest income is a significant component of net income, and consists of the difference between interest income generated on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is primarily affected by the volumes, interest rates and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The tables titled “Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields” and “Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income” provide important information on factors impacting net interest income and should be read in conjunction with this discussion of net interest income.

Net interest income totaled $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and increased $752,000 or 16.2%, compared to $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a $232,000, or 3.2%, increase in interest income, coupled with a $520,000, or 19.7%, decrease in interest expense. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a $4.9 million, or 2.4%, increase in average interest-earnings assets outstanding, and improved mix, which was partially offset by a decline in yields. The decrease in interest expense was attributed to a 25 bps reduction in the average cost of funds on interest bearing liabilities, and improved mix from noninterest bearing deposits. As a result, net interest margin of 2.52% for the year ended 2013 improved 30 bps over the net interest margin of 2.22% for the year ended 2012.

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

Interest expense totaled $2.1 million and decreased $520,000, or 19.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from lower overall deposit costs due to a 25 bps decrease in average rates, as a result of deposit pricing and CD’s re-pricing in today’s lower rate environment, coupled with a decrease in higher cost brokered CD’s. In addition, CFBank's overall deposit mix improved due to an increase in average noninterest-bearing deposit liabilities, consisting primarily of commercial demand deposit accounts and other noninterest deposits, of $4.6 million, or 26.7%, as a result of CFBank's sales efforts and increase in customer relationships.

Provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses totaled $496,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and decreased $633,000, or 56.1%, compared to $1.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2013 was primarily due to improved credit quality, a decrease in special mention and substandard loans, and a decrease in net charge-offs, which more than offset the provision for growth in the portfolio for new loans generated in 2013. Net charge-offs decreased $2.0 million due to the fact that there were net charge-offs of $4,000, for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to net charge-offs totaling $2.0 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in net charge-offs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was primarily related to commercial and multi-family real estate loans. The following table presents information regarding net charge-offs for 2013 and 2012.

| 2013 |  | 2012
(Dollars in thousands) | Charge-offs (recoveries)
Commercial | $ | (41) |  | $ | (281)
Single-family residential real estate |  | 161 |  |  | 55
Multi-family residential real estate |  | (29) |  |  | 774
Commercial real estate |  | (60) |  |  | 1,329
Home equity lines of credit |  | (12) |  |  | 109
Other consumer loans |  | (15) |  |  | 16
Total | $ | 4 |  | $ | 2,002

See the section titled “Financial Condition – Allowance for loan losses” for additional information.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $1.9 million, and increased $888,000, or 88.4%, compared to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase is due to gain realized on the sale of the Company’s corporate office building and certain furniture and fixtures of approximately $1.1 million. This was partially offset by lower gains recognized on the sale of residential mortgages due to increased interest rate levels that slowed the residential mortgage market in 2013, and the fact that there were no net gains on the sale of securities for the year ended 2013, compared to $143,000 in 2012. Service charges on deposits increased approximately $108,000, or 44.1%, over 2012, due to an increase in account level and pricing changes. Other noninterest income increased approximately $127,000 or 56.8%, over 2012, as a result of investments in joint ventures the Holding made in 2013, as discussed in Note 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

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

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense for the year ended 2013 was $7.7 million, which represented a decline of $575,000, or 6.9%, compared to the $8.3 million recognized in 2012. The overall decline in operating expenses is primarily attributed to a $607,000 reduction in costs associated with managing foreclosed properties and a $263,000 reduction in FDIC insurance premiums based on a lower assessment rate. These declines were partially offset by a $138,000 increase in professional fees associated with workout efforts, audit related and other consulting fees, and an increase in data processing fees related to certain services that were outsourced.

Income taxes. The Company recorded a deferred tax valuation allowance which reduced the deferred tax asset to zero beginning in 2009 and continuing through the year ended December 31, 2013. As such, there was no income tax benefit recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Comparison of Results of Operations for 2012 and 2011

General. Net loss totaled $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The discount on redemption of the TARP obligations increase earnings available to common stockholders by $5.0 million, which resulted in $.14 earnings per diluted common share despite the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $5.4 million or $(7.09) per diluted common share.

The $1.1 million provision for loan losses in 2012 reflected adverse economic conditions which continued to have a negative effect on loan performance and resulted in continued high levels of nonperforming loans and loan charge-offs. Nonperforming loans totaled $6.4 million, or 4.02% of total loans at year-end 2012, compared to $8.3 million, or 5.28% of total loans at year-end 2011. Net loan charge-offs totaled $2.0 million, or 1.43% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $7.0 million, or 4.14% of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The net loss in 2012 decreased $1.7 million compared to the net loss in 2011 due to a $2.2 million decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $1.1 million decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in net interest income and a $118,000 decrease in other noninterest income.

The decrease in the provision for loan losses during 2012 was due to a decrease in nonperforming loans, classified and criticized loans, past due loans and overall loan portfolio balances compared to 2011. The decrease in net interest income in 2012 was due to a decrease in net interest margin, which was negatively affected by the level of on-balance-sheet liquidity during the year, which was invested in low-yielding overnight investments, and a decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding as compared to 2011. The decrease in noninterest income in 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in net gains on sales of securities. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily related to the reduction of professional fees, expenses related to problem assets, FDIC premiums and franchise taxes.

Net interest income. Net interest income is a significant component of net income, and consists of the difference between interest income generated on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is primarily affected by the volumes, interest rates and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The tables titled “Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields” and “Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income” provide important information on factors impacting net interest income and should be read in conjunction with this discussion of net interest income.

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

Net interest margin decreased to 2.22% during 2012, compared to 2.44% during 2011. The decrease in margin was due to a larger decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets than in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 35 basis points (bp) in 2012 due to a decrease in higher-yielding loan and securities balances and an increase in lower-yielding other earning asset balances, primarily short-term cash investments that resulted from the increase in on-balance-sheet liquidity in 2011. Cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 10 bp primarily due to a decrease in deposit costs, which reflected the sustained low market interest rate environment and lower deposit pricing in 2012, and a decrease in the average balance of FHLB advances and other borrowings. Additional downward pressure on net interest margin could occur if the level of short-term cash investments remain at the current high level or increase, loan balances continue to decrease, nonperforming loans increase, downward repricing on existing interest-earning assets and new loan production caused by sustained low market interest rates continues, or the opportunity to decrease funding costs is unavailable.

Net interest income decreased $1.5 million, or 25.0%, to $4.6 million in 2012, compared to $6.2 million in 2011. The decrease was due to a 24.7% decrease in interest income, partially offset by a 24.3% decrease in interest expense. Interest income decreased due to a decrease in both the average yield and average balance of interest-earning assets. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 3.48% in 2012, from 3.82% in 2011. The decrease in average yield on interest-earning assets was due to loan mix and loan repricing. Average interest-earning assets decreased $44.6 million in 2012. The decrease in average interest-earning assets was due to a decrease in loan and securities balances. Interest expense decreased due to a decrease in both the average cost and average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.37% in 2012, from 1.47% in 2011. The decrease in average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was due to the sustained low market interest rates and reduced deposit pricing in the current year. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $44.8 million in 2012. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in deposits, and to a lesser extent, a decrease in FHLB advances and other borrowings.

Interest income decreased $2.4 million, or 24.7%, to $7.3 million in 2012, compared to $9.7 million in 2011. The decrease in interest income was due to a decrease in income on loans and securities, partially offset by an increase in interest income on other interest earning assets.

Interest income on loans decreased $2.2 million, or 24.5%, to $6.8 million in 2012, compared to $9.0 million in 2011. The decrease in interest income on loans was due to both a decrease in average yield on loans and average loan balances. The average yield on loans decreased 24 bp to 5.06% in 2012, compared to 5.30% in 2011. The decrease in the average yield on loans was due to a decrease in loan balances with rates higher than current market rates due to repayments, lower market interest rates on new originations.

Interest income on securities decreased $204,000, or 48.3%, to $218,000 in 2012, compared to $422,000 in 2011. The decrease in interest income on securities was due to a decrease in both the average yield on securities and the average balance of securities. The average yield on securities decreased 53 bp to 1.28% in 2012, compared to 1.81% in 2011. The decrease in the average yield on securities was due to repayments on higher-yielding securities and securities purchases at lower market interest rates. The average balance of securities decreased $7.3 million and totaled $16.6 million in 2012, compared to $23.9 million in 2011. The decrease in the average balance of securities was due to sales, maturities and repayments in excess of purchases.

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

Interest income on Federal funds sold and other earning assets increased $17,000, or 11.2%, to $169,000 in 2012, compared to $152,000 in 201 1. The increase in income was due to an increase in the average balance of these other earning assets associated with the increase in on-balance-sheet liquidity. The average balance of other earning assets decreased $2.0 million, or 3.5%, to $55.8 million in 2012, from $57.8 million in 2011.

Interest expense decreased $845,000, or 24.3%, to $2.6 million in 2012, compared to $3.5 million in 2011. The decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in lower deposit balances, primarily CDARS and brokered CDs and due to repayment of advances in 2012.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $672,000, or 24.2%, to $2.1 million in 2012, compared to $2.8 million in 2011. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was due to a decrease in the average cost of deposits, and a decrease in average deposit balances. The average cost of deposits decreased 10 bp, to 1.20% in 2012, compared to 1.30% in 2011. The decrease in the average cost of deposits was due to sustained low market interest rates and reduced deposit pricing. Average deposit balances decreased $37.9, or 17.74%, to $175.8 million in 2012, compared to $213.8 million in 2011. The decrease in average deposit balances was primarily due to a decrease in certificate of deposit account balances, and, to a lesser extent, interest bearing checking and money market account balances. Management used certificate of deposit accounts, including brokered deposits, as one of CFBank’s asset/liability management strategies to build on-balance-sheet liquidity and lock-in the cost of longer-term liabilities at low market interest rates prior to receipt of the CFBank Order in May 2011. Brokered deposits generally cost more than traditional deposits and can negatively impact the overall cost of deposits. The average cost of brokered deposits increased 9 bp to 1.84% in 2012, from 1.75% in 2011, and was higher than the average cost of deposits in both years. Average brokered deposit balances decreased $21.8 million, or 34.4%, to $41.5 million in 2012 from $63.2 million in 2011. The decrease in average brokered deposit balances was due to maturities after receipt of the CFBank Order that were not replaced due to the prohibition on acceptance and renewal of brokered deposits. See the section titled “Financial Condition - Deposits” for further information on brokered deposits, and the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a discussion of regulatory restrictions on CFBank’s use of brokered deposits.

Interest expense on FHLB advances and other borrowings, including subordinated debentures, decreased $173,000, or 24.8%, to $525,000 in 2012, compared to $698,000 in 2011. The decrease in interest expense on FHLB advances and other borrowings, including subordinated debentures, was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of these borrowings, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average cost of borrowings. The average balance of FHLB advances and other borrowings, including subordinated debentures, decreased $6.9 million, to $16.7 million in 2012, compared to $23.6 million in 2011. The decrease in average balances was due to the repayment of FHLB advances with funds from the increase in cash and cash equivalents. The average cost of FHLB advances and other borrowings, including subordinated debentures, increased 19 bp, to 3.14% in 2012, compared to 2.95% in 2011. The increase in average cost of borrowing was due to maturities of lower cost advances, partially offset by higher short-term interest rates that increased the cost associated with the subordinated debentures in 2012.

Provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses totaled $1.1 million in 2012, and decreased $2.2 million, compared to $3.4 million in 2011. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in 2012 was due to a 23.4% decrease in nonperforming loans, a 31.1% decrease in classified and criticized loans, a 42.7% decrease in past due loans and a 0.6% increase in overall loan portfolio balances compared to 2011. The level of the provision for loan losses during 2012 and 2011 was primarily a result of a dverse economic conditions in our market area that continue to negatively impact our borrowers, our loan performance and our loan quality. See the section titled “Financial Condition – Allowance for loan losses” for additional information.

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

Net charge-offs totaled $2.0 million, or 1.49% of average loans, in 2012, compared to $7.0 million, or 4.14% of average loans, in 2011. The decrease in net charge-offs in 2012 was primarily in the multi-family residential real estate loan portfolio and, to a lesser extent, the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios. The following table presents information regarding net charge-offs for 2012 and 2011.

| 2012 |  | 2011
|  | (Dollars in thousands)
Commercial | $ | (281) |  | $ | 1,082
Single-family residential real estate |  | 55 |  |  | 117
Multi-family residential real estate |  | 774 |  |  | 3,158
Commercial real estate |  | 1,329 |  |  | 2,450
Home equity lines of credit |  | 109 |  |  | 214
Other consumer loans |  | 16 |  |  | 5
Total | $ | 2,002 |  | $ | 7,026

Noninterest income. Noninterest income totaled $1.0 million and decreased $118,000, or 10.5%, in 2012, compared to $1.1 million in 2011. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to a $210,000 decrease in net gains on sales of securities and a $26,000 decrease in service charges on deposit accounts partially offset by a n $110,000 increase in net gains on sales of loans.

Net gains on sales of securities totaled $143,000 and decreased $210,000, or 59.5%, in 2012 compared to $353,000 in 2011. The decrease in gains on sales of securities was primarily due to a $10.1 million decrease in securities sold. Securities sold totaled $2.1 million in 2012, compared to $12.2 in 2011.

Net gains on sales of loans totaled $404,000 and increased $110,000, or 37.4%, in 2012 compared to $294,000 in 2011. The increase in net gains on sales of loans in 2012 was due to improved pricing. Originations totaled $30.5 million in 2012, and decreased $5.6 million, or 15.5%, compared to $36.0 million in 2011. The decrease in originations was partially due to having fewer mortgage loan originators during most of 2012. The number of originators has started to increase as a result of the capital raise and the resulting plan to increase loans and mortgage production. As a result, gains on sales of loans are expected to increase.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 11.5%, and totaled $8.3 million in 2012, compared to $9.4 million in 2011. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to decreases in foreclosed assets expense, FDIC premiums, franchise taxes, professional fees, advertising and promotion and depreciation expense.

Foreclosed assets expense totaled $652,000 in 2012, compared to $1.2 million in 2011. The decrease was primarily related to $329,000 gain on sales of REO properties and lower write-downs experienced in 2012. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $9,000, or 3.24%, and totaled $269,000 in 2012, compared to $278,000 in 2011. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in common area maintenance expense.

Director fees decreased $62,000, or 34.3%, and totaled $119,000 in 2012, compared to $181,000 in 2011. The decrease was primarily the result of suspending the payment of director fees for the last quarter of 2012.

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

FDIC premiums decreased $124,000, or 18.1%, and totaled $563,000 in 2012, compared to $687,000 in 2011. The decrease was primarily related to a lower assessment base.

Regulatory assessment decreased $25,000, or 14.9%, and totaled $143,000 in 2012, compared to $168,000 in 2011. The lower assessment was primarily related to lower total assets in 2012.

Other insurance increased $18,000, or 13.3%, and totaled $153,000 in 2012, compared to $135,000 in 2011. The increase was primarily related to higher premiums resulting from CFBank’s financial performance and regulatory issues.

Salaries and employee benefits decreased $137,000, or 3.4%, and totaled $3.9 million in 2012, compared to $4.0 million in 2011. The decrease was primarily related to lower compensation costs due to lower staffing levels in the current year.

Data processing expense increased $19,000, or 3.3%, and totaled $588,000 in 2012, compared to $569,000 in 2011. The increase was primarily due to a one time implementation fee for a new product.

Franchise taxes decreased $34,000 or 13.4%, and totaled $219,000 in 2012, compared to $253,000 in 2011. The decrease was due to lower equity at CFBank at December 31, 2011, which is the basis for 2012 state franchise taxes.

Professional fees decreased $84,000, or 8.9%, and totaled $860,000 in 2012, compared to $944,000 in 2011. The decrease was primarily related to lower legal fees associated with regulatory issues offset by an increase in stock transfer agent fees related to the reverse stock split. Corporate and regulatory legal fees decreased $125,000, or 74.9%, and totaled $42,000 in 2012 compared to $167,000 in 2011. Management expects legal fees related to corporate and regulatory matters to continue at this level.

Advertising and promotion decreased $7,000, or 18.9%, and totaled $30,000 in 2012, compared to $37,000 in 2011. The decrease was due to management’s decision to reduce expenditures for these items in the current year.

Depreciation expense decreased $147,000, or 38.3%, and totaled $237,000 in 2012, compared to $384,000 in 2010. The decrease was due to a number of assets being fully depreciated at December 31, 2011.

The ratio of noninterest expense to average assets increased to 3.62% in 2012, from 3.43% in 2011. The efficiency ratio increased to 137.98% in 2012, from 117.62% in 2011, due to a decrease in net interest income and noninterest income (excluding gains on sales of securities) in 2012.

Income taxes. The Company recorded a deferred tax valuation allowance which reduced the deferred tax asset to zero beginning in 2009 and continuing through the year ended December 31, 2012. As such, there was no income tax benefit recorded for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income. The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the increase and decrease related to changes in balances and/or changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by the prior rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We have not engaged in and, accordingly, have no risk related to trading accounts, commodities or foreign exchange. Our hedging policy allows hedging activities, such as interest-rate swaps, up to a notional amount of 10% of total assets and a value at risk of 10% of core capital. Disclosures about our hedging activities are set forth in Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in our lending, investing, deposit gathering and borrowing activities. The measurement of market risk associated with financial instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting on- and off-balance-sheet transactions are aggregated and the resulting net positions are identified. Disclosures about fair value are set forth in Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements.

Management actively monitors and manages interest rate risk. The primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to limit, within established guidelines, the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and capital. We measure the effect of interest rate changes on CFBank’s economic value of equity (EVE), which is the difference between the estimated market value of its assets and liabilities under different interest rate scenarios. The change in the EVE ratio is a long-term measure of what might happen to the market value of financial assets and liabilities over time if interest rates changed instantaneously and CFBank did not change existing strategies. At December 31, 2013, CFBank’s EVE ratios, using interest rate shocks ranging from a 400 bp rise in rates to a 200 bp decline in rates are shown in the following table. All values are within the acceptable range established by CFBank’s Board of Directors.

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

In evaluating CFBank’s exposure to interest rate risk, certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table must be considered. For example, the table indicates results based on changes in the level of interest rates, but not changes in the shape of the yield curve. CFBank also has exposure to changes in the shape of the yield curve. Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to which they reprice, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayments and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. The ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease when interest rates rise. As a result, the actual effect of changing interest rates may differ materially from that presented in the foregoing table.

Changes in levels of market interest rates could materially and adversely affect our net interest income, loan volume, asset quality, value of loans held for sale and cash flows, as well as the market value of our securities portfolio and overall profitability.

We continue to originate most fixed-rate single-family residential real estate loans for sale rather than retain long-term, low fixed-rate loans in portfolio. Residential mortgage loan origination volumes are affected by market interest rates on loans. Rising interest rates generally are associated with a lower volume of loan originations, while falling interest rates are usually associated with higher loan originations. Our ability to generate gains on sales of mortgage loans is significantly dependent on the level of originations. Changes in interest rates, prepayment speeds and other factors may also cause the value of our loans held for sale to change.

We originate commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family residential real estate mortgage loans for our portfolio, which, in many cases, have adjustable interest rates. Many of these loans have interest-rate floors, which protect income to CFBank should rates continue to fall. While adjustable-rate loans better offset the adverse effects of an increase in interest rates as compared to fixed-rate loans, the increased payments required of adjustable-rate loan borrowers upon an interest rate adjustment in a rising interest rate environment could cause an increase in delinquencies and defaults. The marketability of the underlying property also may be adversely affected in a rising interest rate environment.

Cash flows are affected by changes in market interest rates. Generally, in rising interest rate environments, loan prepayment rates are likely to decline, and in falling interest rate environments, loan prepayment rates are likely to increase.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of an enterprise’s ability to meet cash needs. The primary objective in liquidity management is to maintain the ability to meet loan commitments and to repay deposits and other liabilities in accordance with their terms without an adverse impact on current or future earnings. Principal sources of funds are deposits; amortization and prepayments of loans; maturities, sales and principal receipts of securities available for sale; borrowings; and operations. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

27

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

CFBank is required by regulation to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation. Thus, adequate liquidity may vary depending on CFBank’s overall asset/liability structure, market conditions, the activities of competitors, the requirements of our own deposit and loan customers and regulatory considerations. Management believes that the Holding Company’s and CFBank’s liquidity is sufficient to meet its daily operating needs and fulfill its strategic planning.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. We adjust our investments in liquid assets, primarily cash, short-term investments and other assets that are widely traded in the secondary market, based on our ongoing assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities and the objective of our asset/liability management program. In addition to liquid assets, we have other sources of liquidity available including, but not limited to, access to advances from the FHLB and borrowings from the FRB.

The following table summarizes CFBank’s cash available from liquid assets and borrowing capacity at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

| December 31, 2013 |  | December 31, 2012
| (Dollars in thousands)
Cash, unpledged securities and deposits in other financial institutions | $ | 22,735 |  | $ | 32,396
Additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB |  | 9,404 |  |  | 7,460
Additional borrowing capacity at the FRB |  | 25,110 |  |  | 14,859
Unused commercial bank line of credit |  | 1,000 |  |  | 1,000
Total | $ | 58,249 |  | $ | 55,715

Cash, unpledged securities and deposits in other financial institutions decreased $9.7 million, or 29.8%, during 2013. The decrease was due to utilizing these funds to fund the loan growth of CFB ank.

CFBank’s additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB increased to $9.4 million at December 31, 2013, up $1.9 million, or 26.1%, from $7.5 million at December 31, 2012 due to an increase in the balance of eligible loans pledged as collateral for advances. As of December 31, 2013, due to regulatory considerations, CFBank was only eligible for future advances with a maximum maturity of 365 days. On January 24, 2014, CFBank was notified by the FHLB that the restriction on the term of future advances had been lifted as a result of the CFBank Order being terminated effective January 23, 2014.

CFBank’s additional borrowing capacity at the FRB increased to $25.1 million at December 31, 2013 from $14.9 million at December 31, 2012. In addition, CFBank is once again eligible to participate in the FRB’s primary credit program, providing CFBank access to short-term funds at any time, for any reason, based on the collateral pledged.

CFBank’s borrowing capacity with both the FHLB and FRB may be negatively impacted by changes such as, but not limited to, further tightening of credit policies by the FHLB or FRB, deterioration in the credit performance of CFBank’s loan portfolio or CFBank’s financial performance, or a decrease in the balance of pledged collateral.

CFBank had a $1.0 million unused line of credit with one commercial bank at December 31, 2013, and 2012.

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

Deposits are obtained predominantly from the areas in which CFBank’s offices are located. We rely primarily on a willingness to pay market-competitive interest rates to attract and retain retail deposits. Accordingly, rates offered by competing financial institutions may affect our ability to attract and retain deposits. As a result of the CFBank Order, we were prohibited from offering above-market interest rates a nd were subject to market rates published by the FDIC when offering deposits to the general public. [However, these limitations are no longer applicable to CFBank as a result of the termination of the CFBank Order in January of 2014.]Liquidity could be significantly impacted by the limitations on rates we can offer on deposits to the general public. Effective as of January 23, 2014, the OCC terminated the CFBank order. See Note 2 – Regulatory Considerations for further discussion.

Prior to receipt of the CFBank Order in May 2011, CFBank used brokered deposits as an element of a diversified funding strategy and an alternative to borrowings. As a result of the CFBank Order, we were prohibited from accepting or renewing brokered deposits without FDIC approval, although we had the ability to seek wholesale deposits that are not considered brokered deposits. At December 31, 2013, CFBank had $21.0 million in brokered deposits with maturity dates from January 2014 through August 2016. In addition, the prohibition on brokered deposits limited CFBank’s ability to participate in the CDARS program and impacted our liquidity management. Although CFBank customers participate in the CDARS program, CDARS deposits are considered brokered deposits by regulation. As a result of the termination of the CFBank Order effective January 23, 2014, the restrictions on broker deposits no longer apply and, therefore, we will have greater access to more diversified funding sources. See Footnote 2 – Regulatory Considerations for further discussion.

CFBank relies on co m petitive interest rates, custo m er service, and relationships with custo m ers to retain d e posits.

The Holding Company, as a savings and loan holding company, has more limited sources of liquidity than CFBank. In general, in addition to its existing liquid assets, sources of liquidity include funds raised in the securities markets through debt or equity offerings, dividends received from its subsidiaries or the sale of assets. Pursuant to the Holding Company Order, the Holding Company may not, directly or indirectly, incur, issue, renew, rollover, or pay interest or principal on any debt or commit to do so, increase any current lines of credit, or guarantee the debt of any entity, without prior written notice to and written non-objection from the FED. In addition, the Holding Company may not declare, make, or pay any cash dividends or other capital distributions or purchase, repurchase or redeem or commit to purchase, repurchase, or redeem any Holding Company equity stock without the prior written non-objection of the FED. The Holding Company Order does not restrict the Holding Company’s ability to raise funds in the securities markets through equity offerings. See the section titled “Financial Condition – Stockholders’ equity” for a discussion of the registered common stock offering announced by the Company.

As a result of the common stock offering in 2012, the Holding Company had adequate funds at December 31, 2013 to meet its current and anticipated operating needs at this time. The Holding Company’s current cash requirements include operating expenses and exclude interest on subordinated debentures, which have been deferred, as discussed below.

29

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

Annual debt service on the subordinated debentures is currently approximately $170,000. The subordinated debentures have a variable rate of interest, reset quarterly, equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.85%. The total rate in effect was 3.10% at December 31, 2013. An increase in the three-month LIBOR would increase the debt service requirement of the subordinated debentures. Cumulative deferred payments subsequent to September 30, 2012 have been accrued and totaled $210 as of December 31, 2013 and $42 at December 31, 2012.

Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that can be paid to the Holding Company by CFBank without prior regulatory approval. Generally, financial institutions may pay dividends without prior approval as long as the dividend is not more than the total of the current calendar year-to-date earnings plus any earnings from the previous two years not already paid out in dividends, and as long as the financial institution remains well capitalized after the dividend payment. As of December 31, 2013, CFBank could not pay any dividends to the Holding Company without receiving the prior written approval of the OCC. Future dividend payments by CFBank to the Holding Company would be based on future earnings and subject to regulatory approval. However, the payment of dividends from CFBank to the Holding Company is not likely to be approved by the OCC while CFBank is suffering losses.

Federal income tax laws provided additional deductions, totaling $2,250, for thrift bad debt reserves established before 1988. Accounting standards do not require a deferred tax liability to be recorded on this amount, which otherwise would total $765 at year-end 2013. However, if CFBank were wholly or partially liquidated or otherwise ceases to be a bank, or if tax laws were to change, this amount would have to be recaptured and a tax liability recorded. Additionally, any distributions in excess of CFBank’s current or accumulated earnings and profits would reduce amounts allocated to its bad debt reserve and create a tax liability for CFBank. The amount of additional taxable income created by such a distribution is an amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the distribution. Thus, if CFBank makes a distribution that reduces the amount allocated to its bad debt reserve, then approximately one and one-half times the amount used would be includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 34% corporate income tax rate. CFBank does not intend to make distributions that would result in a recapture of any portion of its bad debt reserve.

A portion of the proceeds from the completed common stock offering has been retained by the Holding Company for general corporate purposes. The Holding Company had $3.3 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2013.

Impact of Inflation

The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which presently require us to measure financial position and results of operations primarily in terms of historical dollars. Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation are generally not considered. In our opinion, changes in interest rates affect our financial condition to a far greater degree than changes in the inflation rate. While interest rates are generally influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not move concurrently. Rather, interest rate volatility is based on changes in the expected rate of inflation, as well as changes in monetary and fiscal policy. A financial institution’s ability to be relatively unaffected by changes in interest rates is a good indicator of its ability to perform in a volatile economic environment. In an effort to protect performance from the effects of interest rate volatility, we review interest rate risk frequently and take steps to minimize detrimental effects on profitability.

Critical Accounting Policies

We follow financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and conform to general practices within the banking industry. These policies are presented in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements. Some of these accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, which are those policies that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Application of assumptions different than those used by management could result in material changes in our financial condition or results of operations. These policies, current assumptions and estimates utilized, and the related disclosure of this process, are determined by management and routinely reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. We believe that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements were appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time.

We have identified accounting policies that are critical accounting policies, and an understanding of these policies is necessary to understand our financial statements. The following discussion details the critical accounting policies and the nature of the estimates made by management.

Determination of the allowance for loan losses. The ALLL represents management’s estimate of probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio at each balance sheet date. The allowance consists of general and specific components. The general component covers loans not classified as impaired and is based on historical loss experience, adjusted for current factors. Current factors considered include, but are not limited to, management’s oversight of the portfolio, including lending policies and procedures; nature, level and trend of the portfolio, including past due and nonperforming loans, loan concentrations, loan terms and other characteristics; current economic conditions and outlook; collateral values; and other items. The specific component of the ALLL relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. Loans exceeding policy thresholds are regularly reviewed to identify impairment. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that CFBank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. Determining whether a loan is impaired and whether there is an impairment loss requires judgment and estimates, and the eventual outcomes may differ from estimates made by management. The determination of whether a loan is impaired includes: review of historical data; judgments regarding the ability

31

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

of the borrower to meet the terms of the loan; an evaluation of the collateral securing the loan and estimation of its value, net of selling expenses, if applicable; various collection strategies; and other factors relevant to the loan or loans. Impairment is measured based on the fair value of collateral, less costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent, or alternatively, the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate, if the loan is not collateral dependent. When the selected measure is less than the recorded investment in the loan, an impairment loss is recorded. As a result, determining the appropriate level for the ALLL involves not only evaluating the current financial situation of individual borrowers or groups of borrowers, but also current predictions about future events that could change before an actual loss is determined. Based on the variables involved and the fact that management must make judgments about outcomes that are inherently uncertain, the determination of the ALLL is considered to be a critical accounting policy. Additional information regarding this policy is included in the previous section titled “Financial Condition - Allowance for loan losses” and in Notes 1, 4 and 6 to our consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of the deferred tax asset.

In 2012, a recapitalization program through the sale of $22.5 million in common stock improved the capital levels of the Bank and provided working capital for the holding company. The result of the change in stock ownership associated with the stock offering, within the guidelines of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, was that the Company incurred an ownership change. At year-end 2013, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $27,835, which expire at various dates from 2024 to 2033, and has alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $60, which do not expire. As a result of the ownership change, the Company's ability to utilize carryforwards that arose before the stock offering closed is limited to $163 per year. Due to this limitation, management determined it is more likely than not that $20,520 of net operating loss carryforwards will expire unutilized. As required by accounting standards, the Company reduced the carrying value of deferred tax assets, and the corresponding valuation allowance, by the $6,977 tax effect of this lost realizability.

The Company maintained a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, based on its estimate of future reversal and utilization. When determining the amount of deferred tax assets that are more-likely-than-not to be realized, and therefore recorded as a benefit, the Company conducts a regular assessment of all available information. This information includes, but is not limited to, taxable income in prior periods, projected future income and projected future reversals of deferred tax items. Based on these criteria, the Company determined that it was necessary to maintain a full valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset.

Additional information is included in Notes 1 and 14 to our consolidated financial statements.

Fair value of financial instruments. Another critical accounting policy relates to fair value of financial instruments, which are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. Additional information is included in Notes 1 and 6 to our consolidated financial statements.

CENTRAL FEDERAL CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Central Federal Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 1992 Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on that assessment, management identified the following deficiency in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 that management considers to be a material weakness:

| · |  | The Company did not maintain effective controls over certain loan participation transactions to identify potential transactions that could result in loan participations sold being classified as secured borrowings.

To remediate the material weakness described above, and enhance our internal controls over financial reporting, management has initiated the following changes:

| · |  | Subsequent to December 31, 2013, m anagement amended its loan participation agreements to remove the language that disqualified the loan participations from sales accounting treatment and entered into amended loan participation agreements with the participating institutions with respect to five loans that were classified as secured borrowings; and

| · |  | M anagement is in process of revising its standardized loan participation agreement t o ensure that loan participations thereunder will qualify for sales accounting treatment. In addition, management is in the process of implementing p rocedures to ensure that any modifications to the standardized loan participation agreement will require approval by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer prior to executing the transaction.

CENTRAL FEDERAL CORPORATION

Based on its identification of the material weakness described above, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting did not meet the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting and, therefore, was not effective.

This annual report does not contain an audit report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to audit by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Central Federal Corporation

Worthington, Ohio

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Central Federal Corporation as of December 31, 201 3 and 201 2 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 201 3. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Central Federal Corporation as of December 31, 201 3 and 201 2 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 201 3, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company has experienced recurring losses in 201 3, 201 2 and 201 1 from operations due to elevated levels of loan losses and non-performing assets. As a result, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary (CF Bank) are currently operating under Regulatory Orders that require, among other items, higher levels of regulatory capital at CFBank and restrictions on the ability to pay dividends. Failure to comply with these regulatory orders could subject the Company to additional enforcement actions. See note 2 for a discussion of the Regulatory Orders and Management’s Plans.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include Central Federal Corporation (the Holding Company), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CFBank, Ghent Road, Inc., and Smith Ghent LLC, together referred to as the “Company”. Ghent Road, Inc. was formed in 2006 and owned the land adjacent to the corporate office, and Smith Ghent LLC owned the building. During October 201 3, the Company consummated a sale of its corporate office building and adjacent land, and relocated its main office branch to a nearby location. After the sale was finalized, Ghent Road, Inc. and Smith Ghent LLC, prior to year-end 2013, were legally dissolved. However, all results of operati ons for 2013 and 2012 are included in th ese consolidated financial statements. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

CFBank provides financial services through its four full-service banking offices in Fairlawn, Calcutta, Wellsville and Worthington, Ohio. Its primary deposit products are commercial and retail checking, savings, money market and term certificate accounts. Its primary lending products are commercial and commercial real estate, residential mortgages and installment loans. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer segment. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on general economic conditions and the real estate values in the customers’ geographic areas.

On August 20, 2012, the Company successfully completed a registered common stock offering. Net proceeds from the offering totaled $20,221 after deducting $2,279 of offering costs. The capital raise resulted in 15 million additional common shares being issued at the price of $1.50 per share.

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses (ALLL), deferred tax assets and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents include cash, deposits with other financial institutions with maturities fewer than 90 days and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and borrowings with original maturities under 90 days.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Financial Institutions: Interest‑bearing deposits in other financial institutions mature at various times through November 2015 and are carried at cost.

Securities: Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or accretion of discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized or accreted on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations where prepayments are anticipated based on industry payment trends. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or will more likely than not be

required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.

Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights released. The carrying value of mortgage loans sold is reduced by the amount allocated to the servicing right when mortgage loans held for sale are sold with servicing rights retained. Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, adjusted for purchase premiums and discounts, deferred loan fees and costs, accrued interest receivable and an allowance for loan losses (ALLL). Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level‑yield method without anticipating prepayments. The recorded investment in loans includes accrued interest receivable.

The accrual of interest income on all classes of loans, except other consumer loans, is discontinued and the loan is placed on nonaccrual status at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Other consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 90 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan for all classes of loans. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days still on accrual include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans. Commercial, multi-family residential real estate loans and commercial real estate loans placed on nonaccrual status are individually classified as impaired loans.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income in the period in which it is placed in a nonaccrual status. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost‑recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are considered for return to accrual status provided all the principal and interest amounts are contractually due are brought current, there is a current and well documented credit analysis, there is reasonable assurance of repaym ent of principal and interest, and the customer has demonstrated sustained, amortizing payment performance of at least six months.

Concentration of Credit Risk: Most of the Company’s primary business activity is with customers located within the Ohio counties of Columbiana, Franklin, Su mmit and contiguous counties. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economies within these counties. Although these counties are the Company’s primary market area for loans, the Company originates residential and commercial real estate loans throughout the United States.

Allowance for Loan Losses (ALLL): The ALLL is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

See accompanying notes.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that CFBank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans within any loan class for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) and classified as impaired.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment for all loan classes include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Loans of all classes within the commercial, multi-family residential and commercial real estate segments, regardless of size, and loans of all other classes with balances over $500 are individually evaluated for impairment when they are 90 days past due, or earlier than 90 days past due if information regarding the payment capacity of the borrower indicates that payment in full according to the loan terms is doubtful. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loans existing rate, or at the fair value of collateral, less costs to sell, if repayment is expec ted solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and single-family residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.

TDRs of all classes of loans are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a TDR is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. If the payment of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral, then costs to liquidate the collateral are included when determining the impairment. For TDRs that subsequently default, the amount of reserve is determined in accordance with the accounting policy for the ALLL.

Interest income on all classes of impaired loans that are on nonaccrual status is recognized in accordance with the accounting policy on nonaccrual loans. Cash receipts on all classes of impaired loans that are on nonaccrual status are generally applied to the principal balance outstanding. Interest income on all classes of impaired loans that are not on nonaccrual status is recognized on the accrual method. TDRs may be classified as accruing if the borrower has been current for a period of at least six months with respect to loan payments and management expects that the borrower will be able to continue to make payments in accordance with the terms of the restructured note.

The general reserve component covers non‑impaired loans of all classes and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by loan class and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over a three year period. The general component is calculated based on CFBank’s loan balances and actual historical three year historical loss rates. For loans with little or no actual loss experience, industry estimates are used based on loan segment. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic and judgmental factors based on the risks present for each loan class. These economic and judgmental factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

During the fourth quarter, after running parallel calculations and analyzing results for the last two quarters, the Bank revised its ALLL methodology for the general reserve. Previously, the base methodology relied more heavily on industry data and loss given default rates and probability of default. Based on the fact that the Bank has been tracking historical loss rates for a significant time, the new methodology uses a historical three year loss rate as its base methodology. Similar to before, the base methodology may be supplemented with economic and judgmental factors. Based on the

change in methodology which considered portfolio migration, three year loss rates and revised economic and judgmental factors, a $250 reduction to the allowance for loan loss was recorded. The impact on prior quarters was not considered material.

The following portfolio segments have been identified: commercial loans, single-family residential real estate loans; multi-family residential real estate loans; commercial real estate loans; construction loans; home equity lines of credit; and other consumer loans. A description of each segment of the loan portfolio, along with the risk characteristics of each segment is included below:

Commercial loans: Commercial loans include loans to businesses generally located within our primary market area. Those loans are generally secured by business equipment, inventory, accounts receivable and other business assets. In underwriting commercial loans, we consider the net operating income of the company, the debt service ratio and the financial strength, expertise and credit history of the business owners and/or guarantors. Because payments on commercial loans are dependent on successful operation of the business enterprise, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the economy. We seek to mitigate these risks through underwriting policies which require such loans to be qualified at origination on the basis of the enterprise’s financial performance and the financial strength of the business owners and/or guarantors.

Single-family residential real estate loans: Single-family residential real estate loans include permanent conventional mortgage loans secured by single-family residences located within and outside of our primary market area. Credit approval for single-family residential real estate loans requires demonstration of sufficient income to repay the principal and interest and the real estate taxes and insurance, stability of employment and an established credit record. Our policy is to originate single-family residential real estate loans for portfolio in amounts up to 85% of the lower of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property securing the loan, without requiring private mortgage insurance. Loans in excess of 85% of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price of the property securing the loan require private mortgage insurance. CFBank has not engaged in subprime lending, used option adjustable-rate mortgage products or made loans with initial teaser rates.

Multi-family residential real estate loans: Multi-family residential real estate loans include loans secured by apartment buildings, condominiums and multi-family residential houses generally located within our primary market area. Underwriting policies provide that multi- family residential real estate loans may be made in amounts up to 8 5% of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price of the property. In underwriting multi-family residential real estate loans, we consider the appraised value and net operating income of the property, the debt service ratio and the property owner’s and/or guarantor’s f inancial strength, expertise and credit history. We offer both fixed and adjustable rate loans. Fixed rates are generally limited to three to five years, at which time they convert to adjustable rate loans. Because payments on loans secured by multi-family residential properties are dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of multi-family residential real estate loans may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. Adjustable rate multi-family residential real estate loans generally pose credit risks not inherent in fixed-rate loans, primarily because as interest rates rise, the borrowers’ payments rise, increasing the potential for default. Additionally, adjustable rate multi-family residential real estate loans generally do not contain periodic and lifetime caps on interest rate changes. We seek to m inimize the additional risk presented by adjustable rate multi-family residential real estate loans through underwriting criteria that require such loans to be qualified at origination with sufficient debt coverage ratios under increasing interest rate scenarios.

Commercial real estate loans: Commercial real estate loans include loans secured by owner occupied and non-owner occupied properties used for business purposes, such as manufacturing facilities, office buildings or retail facilities generally located within our primary market area. Underwriting policies provide that commercial real estate loans may be made in amounts up to 80% of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price of the property. In underwriting commercial real estate loans, we consider the appraised value and net operating income of the property, the debt service ratio and the property owner’s and/or guarantor’s financial strength, expertise and credit history. We offer both fixed and adjustable rate loans. Fixed rates are generally limited to three to five years, at which time they convert to

adjustable rate loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate properties are dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of commercial real estate loans may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. Adjustable rate commercial real estate loans generally pose credit risks not inherent in fixed-rate loans, primarily because as interest rates rise, the borrowers’ payments rise, increasing the potential for default. Additionally, adjustable rate commercial real estate loans generally do not contain periodic and lifetime caps on interest rate changes. We seek to minimize the additional risk presented by adjustable rate commercial real estate loans through underwriting criteria that require such loans to be qualified at origination with sufficient debt coverage ratios under increasing interest rate scenarios.

Construction loans: Construction loans include loans to finance the construction of residential and commercial properties generally located within our primary market area. Construction loans are fixed or adjustable-rate loans which may convert to permanent loans with maturities of up to 30 years. Our policies provide that construction loans may be made in amounts up to 75% of the appraised value of the property, and an independent appraisal of the property is required. Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction progresses and as inspections warrant, and regular inspections are required to monitor the progress of construction. In underwriting construction loans, we consider the property owner’s and/or guarantor’s financial strength, expertise and credit history. Construction financing is considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction or development compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment. We attempt to reduce such risks on construction loans through inspections of construction progress on the property and by requiring personal guarantees and reviewing current personal financial statements and tax returns, as well as other projects of the developer.

Home equity lines of credit: Home equity lines of credit include both loans we originate for portfolio and purchased loans. We originate home equity lines of credit to customers generally within our primary market area. Home equity lines of credit are variable rate loans and the interest rate adjusts monthly at various margins above the prime rate of interest as disclosed in The Wall Street Journal. The margin is based on certain factors including the loan balance, value of collateral, election of auto-payment, and the borrower’s FICO® score. The amount of the line is based on the borrower’s credit, incom e and equity in the home. When combined with the balance of the prior mortgage liens, these lines generally may not exceed 89.9% of the appraised value of the property at the time of the loan commitment. The lines are secured by a subordinate lien on the underlying real estate and are, therefore, vulnerable to declines in property values in the geographic areas where the properties are located. Credit approval for home equity lines of credit requires income sufficient to repay principal and interest due, stability of employment, an established credit record and sufficient collateral. Collectability of home equity lines of credit are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. In 2005 and 2006, we purchased home equity lines of credit collateralized by properties located throughout the United States. The purchased home equity lines of credit present higher risk than the home equity lines of credit we originate for our portfolio as they include properties in geographic areas that have experienced significant declines in housing values, such as California, Florida and Virginia. The collateral values associated with certain loans in these states have declined by up to approximately 50% since these loans were originated in 2005 and 2006, and as a result, some loan balances exceed collateral values. We continue to monitor collateral values and borrower FICO® scores on both purchased and portfolio loans and, when the situation warrants, have frozen the lines of credit.

Other consumer loans: Other consumer loans include closed-end home equity, home improvement, and auto and credit card loans to consumers generally located within our primary market area. Credit approval for other consumer loans requires income sufficient to repay principal and interest due, stability of employment, an established credit record and sufficient collateral for secured loans. Consumer loans typically have shorter terms and lower balances with higher yields as compared to real estate mortgage loans, but generally carry higher risks of default. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.

See accompanying notes.

CFBank’s charge-off policy for commercial loans, single-family residential real estate loans, multi-family residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans and home equity lines of credit requires management to record a specific reserve or charge-off as soon as it is apparent that the borrower is troubled and there is, or likely will be a collateral shortfall related to the estimated value of the collateral securing the loan. Other consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 90 days past due.

Servicing Rights: When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans.

Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. If it is later determined that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Changes in valuation allowances are reported with loan servicing fees, net on the income statement. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.

Servicing fee income, which is reported on the income statement as loan servicing fees, net is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal, or a fixed amount per loan, and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income. Loan servicing fees, net totaled $19, $26 and $22 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not material.

Transfers of Financial Assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight‑line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 40 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight‑line method with useful lives ranging from 2 to 25 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated straight-line over the shorter of the useful life or the lease term.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock: CFBank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Bank Owned Life Insurance: CFBank purchased life insurance policies on certain directors and employees in 2002. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet

date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Other Intangible Assets: Other intangible assets consist of identified intangibles from the purchase of the remaining two-thirds interest in Smith Ghent LLC in October 2009. The intangible asset was initially measured at fair value and is being amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated life of 4.5 years. When the Company sold the office building in October 2013, the remaining unamortized intangible amount was written off and Smith Ghent LLC was subsequent ly dissolved prior to year-end 2013.

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

Derivatives: Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities at fair value. The Company's derivatives consist mainly of interest rate swap agreements, which are used as part of its asset liability management program to help manage interest rate risk. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes. The derivative transactions are considered instruments with no hedging designation, otherwise known as stand-alone derivatives. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported currently in earnings, as other noninterest income.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives: Commitments to fund mortgage loans to be sold into the secondary market, otherwise known as interest rate locks, are accounted for as free standing derivatives. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are based on anticipated gains on the underlying loans. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are included in net gains on sales of loans.

Stock-Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to directors and employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the required service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A full valuation allowance was recorded in 2009 to reduce the carrying amount of the Company’s net deferred tax asset to zero. See Note 14 – Income Taxes.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company recognizes interest related to income tax matters as interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as other noninterest expense.

See accompanying notes.

15

Retirement Plans: Pension expense is the amount of annual contributions to the multi-employer contributory trusteed pension plan. Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching contributions. Supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.

Reverse Stock Split: Reclassifications did not impact prior period net loss or total stockholders' equity. On May 4, 2012, the Company completed a 1-for-5 reverse stock split, whereby every 5 shares of the Company’s common stock were reclassified into one share of common stock. All share and per share amounts for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the reverse split as though it had occurred prior to the earliest period presented.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share: Basic earnings (loss) per common share is net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for this calculation. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all reverse stock splits through the date of issuance of the financial statements.

Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, which are also recognized as a separate component of equity.

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are any such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements. See Note 24 – Contingent Liabilities.

Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) is required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements. Cash on deposit with the FHLB includes $3,300 pledged as collateral for FHLB advances.

Equity: Treasury stock is carried at cost. The carrying value of preferred stock and the common stock warrant is based on allocation of issuance proceeds, net of issuance costs, in proportion to their relative fair values. Preferred stock is carried net of the discount established through the allocation of proceeds.

Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by CFBank to the Holding Company or by the Holding Company to stockholders. On December 5, 2008, the Company issued 7,225 shares of Central Federal Corporation Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (Preferred Stock) to the United States Department of the Treasury (U.S. Treasury) under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) Capital Purchase Program. This Preferred Stock was subsequently retired pursuant to an agreement with U.S. Treasury to retire all portions of the TARP obligation in September 2012. As further detailed in Note 2 – Regulatory Order Considerations and Management’s Plans, the current FED order prohibits the Holding Company from declar ing, mak ing, or pay ing any cash dividends or other capital distributions or purchas ing, repurchas ing or redeem ing or commit ting to purchase, repurchase, or redeem any Holding Company equity stock without the prior written non-objection of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FED).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 6 – Fair Value. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.

Operating Segments: While management monitors and analyzes the revenue streams of the Company’s various products and services, the operations and financial performance is evaluated on a Company‑wide basis. Operating

results are not reviewed by senior management to make resource allocation or performance decisions. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior period net loss or stockholders’ equity.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards: In July 2013, the FASB amended existing guidance related to the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. These amendments provide that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability. These amendments are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The effect of adopting this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's operating results or financial condition.

In February 2013, the FASB amended existing guidance related to r eporting amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. These amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. These amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional details about those amounts. These amendments are effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The effect of adopting this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's operating results or financial condition

In December 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance on disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. These amendments will enhance disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset. This information will enable users of an entity's financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity's financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. In January 2013, the FASB clarified that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of the December 2011 amended guidance. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those years. Retrospective disclosure is required for all comparative periods presented. The effect of adopting this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's operating results or financial condition

NOTE 2- REGULATORY ORDER CONSIDERATIONS

On May 25, 2011, the Holding Company and CFBank each consented to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist (the “Holding Company Order” and the “CFBank Order”, respectively, and collectively, the “Orders”) by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”), the primary regulator of the Holding Company and CFBank at the time the Orders were issued. In July 2011, in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the FED replaced the OTS as the primary regulator of the Holding Company and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) replaced the OTS as the primary regulator of CFBank.

The Orders have imposed significant directives applicable to the Holding Company and CFBank, including requirements that we reduce the level of our classified and criticized assets, achieve growth and operating metrics in line with an approved business plan, and comply with restrictions on brokered deposits and on certain types of lending and prohibitions on dividends and repurchases of our capital stock. The CFBank Order required CFBank to have 8% core capital and 12% total risk-based capital, and CFBank could not be considered well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations so long as the CFBank Order remained in place, even if it met or exceeded these capital levels. In addition, the regulators were required to approve any deviation from our business plan and certain compensation arrangements with directors and executive officers.

On August 20, 2012, the Holding Company announced the successful completion of its restructured registered common stock offering. The Holding Company sold 15.0 million shares of its common stock at $1.50 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $22.5 million before expenses. With the proceeds from the stock offering, the Holding Company contributed $13.5 million to CFBank to improve its capital ratios and support future growth and expansion, bringing CFBank into compliance with the capital ratios required by the CFBank Order. In addition, the Holding Company used proceeds from the common stock offering to redeem its TARP obligations on September 26, 2012. The remaining proceeds from the restructured registered common stock offering were retained by the Company for general corporate purposes.

Effective as of January 23, 2014, the OCC released and terminated the CFBank Order based upon the improved capital position of CFBank, among other factors. Notwithstanding the release of the CFBank Order, CFBank is required to continue to maintain a minimum Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 8% and a Total Risk-based Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets ratio of 12%. In addition, in connection with the release and termination of the CFBank Order, CFBank has made certain commitments to the OCC to continue to adhere to certain prudent practices, including, without limitation, maintaining a written program to continue to improve CFBank’s credit underwriting and administrative process; take actions to protect its interest in criticized assets as identified by CFBank, the OCC examiners or its external loan review process and implement its written program to effectively identify, monitor, control and continue to reduce the level of credit risk to CFBank; review and monitor progress against such plan with the Board of Directors and continue CFBank’s aggressive workout efforts and individualized workout plans on all criticized assets greater than $250,000.

The Holding Company Order remains in effect with the FRB. The Holding Company Order requires the Company, among other things, to: (i) submit by every December 31 a capital plan to the FRB that establishes a minimum tangible capital ratio commensurate with the Company’s consolidated risk profile, reduces the risk from current debt levels and addresses the Company’s cash flow needs; (ii) not pay cash dividends, redeem stock or make any other capital distributions without prior regulatory approval; (iii) not pay interest or principal on any debt or increase any Company debt or guarantee the debt of any entity without prior regulatory approval; (iv) obtain prior regulatory approval for changes in directors and senior executive officers; and (iv) not enter into any new contractual arrangement related to compensation to benefits with any director or senior executive officer without prior notification to the FRB.

The significant directives contained in the Orders, including the requirement to reduce the level of our criticized classified assets, maintain growth and operating parameters in line with our business plan, restrictions on broker deposits, restrictions on certain types of lending and restrictions on dividend payments, have provided challenges for our operation of our business and our ability to effectively compete in our markets. In addition, the Orders have

See accompanying notes.

required that we obtain approval from our regulators for any deviations from our business plan, which has limited our flexibility to make changes to the scope of our business activities. We have also incurred significant additional regulatory compliance expense in connection with the Orders, and it is possible that regulatory compliance expenses related to the Orders could continue to have a material adverse impact on us in the future.

The previous CFBank Order in effect at December 31, 2013 and through January 23, 2014, required it, among other things, to: (i) maintain 8% core capital and 12% total risk-based capital, after establishing an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses; (ii) submit every December 31 a capital and business plan to regulators that describes strategies to meet these required capital ratios and contains operating strategies to achieve realistic core earnings; (iii) raise capital to reach the required levels; (iv) not originate, participate in or acquire any nonresidential real estate loans or commercial loans not in line with agreed Board approval conditions, loan policies and credit administration procedures; (v) adopt a revised credit administration policy, problem asset reduction plan, management succession plan and liquidity management policy; (vi) limit asset growth in line with the Business Plan absent prior regulatory approval for additional growth; (vii) not pay cash dividends or make any other capital distributions without prior regulatory approval; (viii) obtain prior regulatory approval for changes in directors and senior executive officers; (ix) not enter into any new contractual arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any director or senior executive officer without prior notification to regulators; (x) not enter into any significant arrangement or contract with a third party service provider without prior regulatory approval; and (xi) comply with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits on brokered deposits. As a result of the CFBank Order, we are prohibited from offering above-market interest rates and are subject to market rates published by the FDIC when offering deposits to the general public. As a result of the CFBank Order, CFBank is considered “adequately capitalized” for regulatory purposes. If CFBank’s capital falls below the levels to be considered adequately capitalized, it may be subject to substantially greater regulatory scrutiny, including the imposition of additional restrictions on our operations.

The Company has been unprofitable for the past three years. If we do not generate profits in the future, our capital levels will be negatively impacted and the regulators could take additional enforcement action against us, including the imposition of further operating restrictions.

While under the CFBank Order, the Bank received limited waivers from the prohibition on renewal of reciprocal CDARS deposits from the FDIC, each for 90 day periods which expired on September 20, 2011, December 19, 2011, March 18, 2012, June 16, 2012, September 14, 2012 and a current limited waiver which expired on December 31, 2013. The most recent limited waiver allowed CFBank to roll over or renew core deposits in the reciprocal CDARS program that have yet to mature or have matured and remained with CFBank through December 13, 2013. On January 8, 2014, CFBank received a waiver for a 90-day period to allow the bank to renew deposits under the CDARS program. With the release of the CFBank Order, CFbank is no longer subject to these restriction s.

At December 31, 2013, CFBank had $20,966 in brokered deposits with maturity dates from January 2014 through August 2016. At December 31, 2013, cash, unpledged securities and deposits in other financial institutions totaled $22,725, which is sufficient to cover brokered deposit maturities in 2014. Brokered deposit maturities over the next three years are as follows:

December 31, 2014 | $ | 10,120
December 31, 2015 |  | 10,221
December 31, 2016 |  | 625
| $ | 20,966

Previously, because CFBank was under a regulatory order, it was prohibited from accepting or renewing brokered deposits, including reciprocal deposits in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service® (CDARS) program, without FDIC approval. Since the termination of the Order, those restrictions have been lifted.

CFBank dividends serve as a potential source of liquidity to the Holding Company to meet its obligations. As of December 31, 2013, pursuant to the CFBank Order, CFBank was not permitted to declare or pay dividends or make any other capital

distributions without receiving the prior written approval of the OCC. Future dividend payments by CFBank to the Holding Company would be based on future earnings. The payment of dividends from CFBank to the Holding Company is not likely to be approved by the OCC while CFBank is suffering losses.

The directives contained in the Orders, and in commitments with our regulators, including higher capital requirements, requirements to reduce the level of our classified and criticized assets and various operating restrictions, may impede our full ability to operate our business and compete effectively in our markets.

We have taken such actions as we believe are necessary to comply with all requirements of the Orders and the other regulatory requirements and directives to which we are subject, and we are continuing to work toward compliance with the provisions having future compliance dates. Management believes w e have received or provided all required approvals, non-objections, notifications and waivers with regard to the O rders.

As previously noted, the CFBank Order was terminated by the OCC on January 23, 2014. The Holding Company Order will remain in effect until terminated, modified or suspended by our regulators.

Capital Raise

The Company announced the terms of a registered common stock offering on August 9, 2011. In April 2012, the Company suspended this offering and returned all subscriptions received. The Company subsequently modified the terms of the offering and filed post-effective amendments to its registration statement with the SEC, and the amended registration statement was declared effective on June 14, 2012.

The restructured registered common stock offering consisted of a rights offering of up to $18,000 and a $4,500 offering to a group of standby purchasers, as well as a public offering of any unsold shares. Under the terms of the rights offering, all holders of the Company’s common stock as of the record date, June 14, 2012, received, at no charge, one subscription right for each share of common stock held as of the record date, which was after the 1 for 5 reverse stock split effective May 4, 2012. Each subscription right entitled the holder of the right to purchase 14.5329 shares of Company common stock (post-split) at a subscription price of $1.50 per share (post-split). The rights offering period expired on July 16, 2012, and unsubscribed shares were made available to the public beginning on July 17, 2012, at $1.50 per share. The public offering of unsubscribed shares of common stock ended on August 14, 2012. The Company separately entered into a series of standby purchase agreements with a group of investors led by Timothy T. O’Dell, Thad R. Perry and Robert E. Hoeweler. Under the standby purchase agreements, the standby purchasers agreed to purchase 3.0 million shares of Company common stock at a price of $1.50 per share. The standby purchasers had conditioned their purchase of shares of common stock upon the receipt by the Company of at least $13,500 in net proceeds from the rights offering and public offering.

On August 20, 2012, the Company announced the successful completion of its restructured registered common stock offering. The Company sold 15.0 million shares of its common stock (including shares sold to the standby purchasers) at $1.50 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $22,500 before expenses of $2,290.

A portion of the proceeds from the restructured registered common stock offering was retained by the Holding Company for general corporate purposes and is estimated to be sufficient to support the Holding Company’s cash requirements for the foreseeable future based on its current business plan. Holding Company cash provided from net proceeds of the stock offering was reduced by $3,000 for redemption of the Company’s TARP obligations from the U.S. Treasury and a $13,500 capital contribution to CFBank to improve its capital ratios and support future growth and expansion, bringing CFBank into compliance with the capital ratios required by the CFBank Order. See Note 1 7 – Preferred Stock for additional information on redemption of the TARP obligations. The Holding Company’s current cash requirements include debt service on the subordinated debentures and operating expenses. See Note 12 – Subordinated Debentures for additional information on debt service requirements of the subordinated debentures. Management believes the Holding Company’s liquidity is sufficient at December 3 1, 2013.

The unrealized losses in Corporate debt and State and municipal securities December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, are related to multiple securities. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in market conditions, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and will unlikely be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company did not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

There was no unrealized loss in C ollateralized mortgage obligations at December 31, 2013. The unrealized loss at December 31, 2012 is related to one Ginnie Mae collateralized mortgage obligation. This security carries the full faith and credit guarantee of the U.S. government. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in market conditions, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell this security and it is likely that it will not be required to sell this security before their anticipated recovery, the Company did not consider this security to be other-than-temporaril y impaired at December 31, 2012

Mortgage Purchase Program

On December 11, 2012 CF Bank entered into a Mortgage Purchase Program with Northpointe Bank (Northpointe), a Michigan banking corporation. At December 31, 201 3 and 2012, CFBank held $12,743 and $25,373, of such loans whi ch have been included in single-family residential loan totals above. Through a participation agreement, CFBank agreed to purchase a n 80% interest from Northpointe fully underwritten and pre-sold mortgage loans originated by various prescreened mortgage brokers located throughout the U.S. The participation agreement provides for CFBank to purchase individually (MERS registered) loans from Northpointe and hold them until funded by the end investor. The mortgage loan investors include Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and other major financial institutions such as Wells Fargo Bank. This process on average takes approximately 14 days. Given the short term nature of each of these individual loans common credit risks such as the following are substantially reduced: past due, impairment and TDR, nonperforming, and nonaccrual classi fication. No allowance is allocated to these loans. The maximum aggregate purchase investment shall not exceed $15 million, as of December 31, 2013. NorthPointe maintains a 20% ownership interest in each loan it participates. The agreement further calls for full control to be relinquished by the Broker to NorthPointe and its Participants with recourse to the broker after 120 days, at the sole discretion of Northpointe. As such, these purchased loans are classified as portfolio loans. These loans are 100% risk rated for CFBank capital adequacy purposes.

The ALLL is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio based on management’s evaluation of various factors including past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

See accompanying notes.

TDRs:

The Company allocated $998 and $830 of specific reserves to loans whose terms have been modified in TDRs as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company ha d not committed to lend additional amounts as of December 31, 2013 or 2012 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the terms of certain loans were modified as TDRs, where concessions had been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. The modification of the terms of such loans may have included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an increase in the stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; an extension of the maturity date; or a change in the payment terms.

There were three loan modifications involving a reduction of the stated interest rate. Modifications involving an extension of the maturity date were for periods ranging from 2 months to 5 years.

The following table presents loans modified as TDRs by class of loans during the year ended December 31, 2013:

| Number of Loans |  | Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment |  | Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment

The TDRs described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $97 and resulted in charge-offs of $797 during the year ended December 31, 2012.

During the year ending 2013, there was one single-family mortgage loan with a total recorded investment of $19 6 at December 31, 2013 which had been modified as a TDR in May 2013 for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification. There were no loans classified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the year ending 2012.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the year ended December 31, 201 3 and 201 2 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. These loans had a total recorded investment of $1 7,835 and $13,298 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties, a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant or there were no concessions granted.

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

See accompanying notes.

These loans are included in total impaired loans.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. Management analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family residential real estate loans. Internal loan reviews for these loan types are performed at least annually, and more often for loans with higher credit risk. Adjustments to loan risk ratings are based on the reviews and at any time information is received that may affect risk ratings. The following definitions are used for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of CFBank’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that there will be some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, condition and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria to be classified into one of the above categories are considered to be not rated or pass-rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are included in groups of homogeneous loans. Past due information is the primary credit indicator for groups of homogenous loans. Loans listed as pass-rated loans are loans that are subject to internal loan reviews and are determined not to meet the criteria required to be classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss. The recorded investment in loans by risk category and by class of loans as of December 31, 2013 and based on the most recent analysis performed follows.

During December, 2013 there were additional units related to the one multi-family transferred into REO at fair value; which was lower than the principal balance outstanding at the time of transfer. This transfer and adjustment to fair value establishes a new cost basis.

Note 6 – FAIR VALUE

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

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

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

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

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

Securities available for sale: The fair value of securities available for sale is determined using pricing models that vary based on asset class and include available trade, bid and other market information or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2).

Derivatives: The fair value of derivatives, which includes yield maintenance provisions, interest rate lock commitments and interest rate swaps, is based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Impaired loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the ALLL is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by a third-party appraisal management company approved by the Board of Directors annually. Once received, the loan officer or a member of the credit department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. Appraisals are updated as needed based on facts and circumstances associated with the individual properties. Real estate appraisals typically incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for comparable properties. Appraisers may make adjustments to the sales prices of the comparable properties as deemed appropriate based on the age, condition or general characteristics of the subject property. Management applies an additional discount to real estate appraised values, typically to reflect changes in market conditions since the date of the appraisal and to cover disposition costs (including selling expenses) based on the intended disposition method of the property. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s

business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are carried at fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from third party investors (Level 2).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial assets and liabilities for which the Company has elected the fair value option, are summarized below:

Financial Instruments Recorded Using Fair Value Option

The Company has elected the fair value option for loans held for sale. These loans are intended for sale and the Company believes that the fair value is the best indicator of the resolution of these loans. Interest income is recorded based on the contractual terms of the loan and in accordance with the Company’s policy on loans held for investment. None of these loans were 90 days or more past due or on nonaccrual as of December 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate fair value, contractual balance (including accrued interest) and gain or loss was as follows:

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Financial Institutions

The carrying amounts of interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

FHLB Stock

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

Loans

Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

Deposits

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest bearing checking, passbook savings, and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Other Borrowings

The fair values of the Company’s long-term FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

The fair values for the secured borrowings are valued in the same manner as loans noted above, resulting in a level 3 classification.

The fair values of the Company’s subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1 or 2 classification, consistent with the asset or liability with which they are associated.

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments

The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material.

See accompanying notes.

The Holding Company was a one-third owner of Smith Ghent LLC, an Ohio limited liability company that own ed and manage d the office building at 2923 Smith Road, Fairlawn, Ohio 44333, where the Holding Company’s and CFBank’s headquarters were located. In October 2009, the Holding Company purchased the remaining two-thirds interest, making Smith Ghent LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company. CFBank entered into a 10-year operating lease with Smith Ghent LLC in March 2004 that provided for monthly payments of $11, increasing 2% annually for the life of the lease through March 2014. During 2008, the lease was amended for additional office space and provided for additional monthly payments of $3 through June 30, 2009, at which time the monthly payment continued on a month-to-month basis. Since the purchase of the remaining two-thirds interest in Smith Ghent LLC, both rent expense paid by CFBank and rental income to Smith Ghent LLC are eliminated in consolidation.

On October 29, 2013, the Company consummated a sale of the Fairlawn office building, located at 2923 Smith Road in Fairlawn, certain furniture and fixtures, and adjacent land for approximately $3.2 million and recognized a gain on sale of fixed assets of approximately $1.1 million. As a result of the sale, the Company relocated its Fairlawn main office branch during December of 2013 to a nearby location for a short term interim period until its new permanent, expanded branch facility i s ready for occupancy. Based on the aforementioned transaction, the subsidiaries were legally dissolved prior to year end 2013.

At December 31, 2012, CFBank had $167 of land in an adjacent lot in assets held for sale, which was sold in 2013 with the building.

D uring the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a lease agreement to open a Commercial Banking Loan office in Woodmere, Ohio. The office opened in January of 2014.

Operating Leases: As a result of the aforementioned transaction, the Company now leases certain branch and loan office property space under two operating leases. The Fairlawn branch is a ten year operating lease beginning in 2014 with annual rent increases each year. There is one five year renewal option on this lease. The Woodmere lease is for a 128 -month term commencing January 1, 2014 with no renewal options. Each lease requires CFBank to absorb its pro rata share of building operating expenses and utilities based on square footage. The Company’s lease for the interim main office branch location is not material. There were no lease expenses in 2012. During 2013, CFBank incurred partial prorated lease payment for December 2013 related to its interim location, which was not material. Leasehold improvements are depreciated straight line over the lease term before consideration of renewal options. Lease expense is recognized evenly over the lease term to account for lease incentive s. Rent commitments, before renewal options, are as follows.

The advances were collateralized as follows:

| December 31, 2013 |  | December 31, 2012
Single-family mortgage loans | $ | 14,940 |  | $ | 9,917

Cash |  | 3,300 |  |  | 3,300
Total | $ | 28,493 |  | $ | 24,077

Based on the collateral pledged to FHLB and CFBank’s holdings of FHLB stock, CFBank was eligible to borrow up to a total of $19,404 from the FHLB at December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, due to credit restrictions imposed by the FHLB due to the CFBank order, any advances were limited to terms of no longer than one year. Effective January 24, 2014, as a result of the CFBank Order being lifted, the FHLB notified the bank that term restriction s on the advances have been lifted.

All payments due over the next five years are due in 2014.

NOTE 11 - OTHER BORROWINGS

There were no outstanding borrowings with the Federal Reserve Bank (the “FRB”) at December 31, 2013 or at December 31, 2012.

Assets pledged as collateral with the FRB were as follows:

|  | 2013 |  | 2012
Commercial loans | $ | 19,591 | $ | 9,352
Commercial real estate loans |  | 28,721 |  | 16,700
| $ | 48,312 | $ | 26,052

Based on the collateral pledged, CFBank was eligible to borrow up to $25,110 from the FRB at year-end 2013.

CFBank had a $1.0 million line of credit with a commercial bank at both December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. There were no outstanding borrowings on this line of credit at December 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. If CFBank were to borrow on this line of credit, interest would accrue daily at a variable rate based rate on the commercial bank’s cost of funds and current market returns.

During the course of 2013, CFBank e ntered in to certain loan participations that, according to the structure of the transactions, d id not qualify for sales accounting treatment and are therefore accounted for as secured borrowings. A t December 31, 2013, there were five loan participation agreements classified as secured borrowings totaling approximately $6,500. The maturities of the secured borrowings range from March 2016 through January 2024, with a weighted average rate of approximately 4.10%. These loans provided the Bank with the ability to repurchase the loan at their discretion. There were no secured borrowing transactions as of December 31, 2012. The bank retains an ownership interest in these loans and provides customary servicing to the third-parties which are typically other community banks.

See accompanying notes.

NOTE 12 – SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

In December 2003, Central Federal Capital Trust I, a trust formed by the Holding Company, closed a pooled private offering of 5,000 trust preferred securities with a liquidation amount of $1 per security. The Holding Company issued $5,155 of subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for ownership of all of the common stock of the trust and the proceeds of the preferred securities sold by the trust. The Holding Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of this trust (variable interest entity); therefore, the trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability. The Holding Company’s investment in the common stock of the trust was $155 and is included in other assets.

The Holding Company may redeem the subordinated debentures, in whole or in part, in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1, on or after December 30, 2008 at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The subordinated debentures mature on December 30, 2033. The subordinated debentures are also redeemable in whole or in part from time to time, upon the occurrence of specific events defined within the trust indenture. There are no required principal payments on the subordinated debentures over the next five years. The Holding Company has the option to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures for a period not to exceed five consecutive years.

Cumulative deferred interest payments through September 30, 2012 totaling $348 were paid current in December 2012 with the approval of the FED. Cumulative deferred interest payments su bsequent to September 30, 2012 were accrued and totaled $42 as of December 31, 2012. Cumulative deferred interest payments were $210 at December 31, 2013. Pursuant to the Holding Company Order, the Holding Company may not, directly or indirectly, incur, issue, renew, rollover, or pay interest or principal on any debt (including the subordinated debentures) or commit to do so, increase any current lines of credit, or guarantee the debt of any entity, without prior written notice to and written non-objection from the FED.

The subordinated debentures have a variable rate of interest, reset quarterly, equal to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate plus 2.85%, which was 3.10% at year-end 2013 and 3.16% at year-end 2012.

See accompanying notes.

NOTE 13 – BENEFIT PLANS

Multi-employer pension plan: CFBank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (the Pentegra DB Plan), a multi-employer contributory trusteed pension plan. The retirement benefits to be provided by the plan were frozen as of June 30, 2003 and future employee participation in the plan was stopped. The plan was maintained for all eligible employees and the benefits were funded as accrued. The cost of funding was charged directly to operations.

The unfunded liability at June 30, 2013 totaled $192 and at June 30, 2012 was $38. CFBank’s contributions for the plan year ending June 30, 201 4, and the plan years ended June 30, 201 3 and June 30, 201 2, totaled $80, $49 and $91, respectively. Contributions to the plan may vary from period to period due to the change in the plan's unfunded liability. The unfunded liability is primarily related to the change in plan assets and the change in plan liability from one year to the next. The change in plan assets is based on contributions deposited, benefits paid and the actual rate of return earned on those assets. The change in plan liability is based on demographic changes and changes in the interest rates used to determine plan liability. In the event the actual rate of return earned on plan assets decline, the value of the plan assets will decline. In the event the interest rates used to determine plan liability decrease, plan liability will increase. The combined effect of each change determines the change in the unfunded liability and the change in the employer contributions.

The Pentegra DB Plan is a tax-qualified defined-benefit pension plan. The Pentegra DB Plan's Employer Identification Number is 13-5645888 and the Plan Number is 333. The Pentegra DB Plan operates as a multi-employer plan for accounting purposes and as a multiple-employer plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. There are no collective bargaining agreements in place that require contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan.

The Pentegra DB Plan is a single plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 413(c) and, as a result, all of the assets stand behind all of the liabilities. Accordingly, under the Pentegra DB Plan contributions made by a participating employer may be used to provide benefits to participants of other participating employers.

Funded status (market value of plan assets divided by funding target) based on valuation reports as of July 1, 2013 and 2012 was 82.95% and 96.83%, respectively.

Total contributions made to the Pentegra DB Plan, as reported on Form 5500 of the Pentegra DB Plan, totaled $196,473 and $299,729 for the plan years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. CFBank’s contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan were not more than 5% of the total contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan.

401(k) Plan: A 401(k) plan allows employee contributions up to the maximum amount allowable under federal tax regulations, which are currently matched in an amount equal to 25% of the first 8% of the compensation contributed. Expense for 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $27, $33 and $20.

Salary Continuation Agreement: In 2004, CFBank initiated a nonqualified salary continuation agreement for the former Chairman Emeritus. Benefits provided under the plan are unfunded, and payments are made by CFBank. Under the plan, CFBank pays him, or his beneficiary, a benefit of $25 annually for 20 years, beginning 6 months after his retirement date, which was February 28, 2008. The expense related to this plan totaled $12, $47 and $16 in 2013, 2012 and 2011. The accrual is included in accrued interest payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $260 at year-end 2013 and $273 at year-end 2012.

Life Insurance Benefits: CFBank entered into agreements with certain employees, former employees and directors to provide life insurance benefits which are funded through life insurance policies purchased and owned by CFBank. The expense related to these benefits totaled ($1), $16 and $10 in 2013, 2012 and 2011. The accrual for CFBank’s obligation under these agreements is included in accrued interest payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $204 at year-end 2013 and $205 at year-end 2012.

Federal income tax laws provided additional deductions, totaling $2,250, for thrift bad debt reserves established before 1988. Accounting standards do not require a deferred tax liability to be recorded on this amount, which otherwise would total $765 at year-end 201 3. However, if CFBank were wholly or partially liquidated or otherwise ceases to be a bank, or if tax laws were to change, this amount would have to be recaptured and a tax liability recorded. Additionally, any distributions in excess of CFBank’s current or accumulated earnings and profits would reduce amounts allocated to its bad debt reserve and create a tax liability for CFBank. The amount of additional taxable income created by such a distribution is an amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the distribution. Thus, if CFBank makes a distribution that reduces the amount allocated to its bad debt reserve, then approximately one and one-half times the amount used would be includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 34% corporate income tax rate. CFBank does not intend to make distributions that would result in a recapture of any portion of its bad debt reserve.

In 2012, a recapitalization program through the sale of $22.5 million in common stock improved the capital levels of the Bank and provided working capital for the holding company. The result of the change in stock ownership associated with the stock offering, within the guidelines of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, was that the Company incurred an ownership change. At year-end 2013, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $27,835, which expire at various dates from 2024 to 2033, and has alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $60, which do not expire. As a result of the ownership change, the Company's ability to utilize carryforwards that arose before the stock offering closed is limited to $163 per year. Due to this limitation, management determined it is more likely than not that $20,520 of net operating loss carryforwards will expire unutilized. As required by accounting standards, the Company reduced the carrying value of deferred tax assets, and the corresponding valuation allowance, by the $6,977 tax effect of this lost realizability.

The Company maintained a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 201 3 and December 31, 201 2, based on its estimate of future reversal and utilization. When determining the amount of deferred tax assets that are more-likely-than-not to be realized, and therefore recorded as a benefit, the Company conducts a regular assessment of all available information. This information includes, but is not limited to, taxable income in prior periods, projected future income and projected future reversals of deferred tax items. Based on these criteria, the Company determined that it was necessary to maintain a full valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset.

At December 31, 201 3 and 201 2, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits recorded. The Company does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly chang e within the next twelve months. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and is no longer subject to federal examination for years prior to 20 10.

See accompanying notes.

NOTE 15 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Loans to principal officers, directors and their affiliates during 201 3 were as follows:

Beginning balance | $ | 52
New loans |  | 673
Effect of changes in composition of related parties |  | (2)
Repayments |  | (11)
Ending balance | $ | 712

Deposits from principal officers, directors, and their affiliates at year-end 201 3 and 201 2 were $256 and $91, respectively.

NOTE 16 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has three stock-based compensation plans (the Plans) as described below. Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for the Plans was $1 5 9, $11, and $40 for 201 3, 201 2 and 201 1, respectively. The total income tax benefit was $7, $1, and $8, respectively.

The Plans, which are stockholder-approved, provide for stock option grants and restricted stock awards to directors, officers and employees. The 1999 Stock-Based Incentive Plan, which expired July 13, 2009, provided 38,778 shares for stock option grants and 15,511 shares for restricted stock awards. The 2003 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2003 Plan”), as amended and restated, provided an aggregate of 100,000 shares for stock option grants and restricted stock awards, of which up to 30,000 shares could be awarded in the form of restricted stock awards. The 2009 Equity Compensation Plan, which was approved by stockholders on May 21, 2009, replaced the 2003 Plan and provides 200,000 shares, plus any remaining shares available to grant or that are later forfeited or expire under the 2003 Plan, that may be issued as stock option grants, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock awards. On May 16, 2013, stockholders approved the First Amendment to the 2009 Equity Compensation Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for stock option grants and restricted stock awards thereunder to 1,500,000.

Stock Options

The Plans permit the grant of stock options to directors, officers and employees for up to 1,638,778 shares of common stock. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, generally have vesting periods ranging from one to three years, and are exercisable for ten years from the date of grant. Unvested stock options immediately vest upon a change of control.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. Employee and management options are tracked separately. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

See accompanying notes.

52

The fair value of options granted was determined using the following weighted‑average assumptions as of grant date.

| 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Risk-free interest rate | 1.60% |  | 1.23% |  | 2.98%
Expected term (years) | 6 |  | 7 |  | 7
Expected stock price volatility | 88% |  | 78% |  | 46%
Dividend yield | 0.00% |  | 0.00% |  | 1.41%

A summary of stock option activity in the Plans for 2013 follows:

|  | Shares | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) | Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at beginning of year |  | 234,696 | $ | 4.29 |  |  |  |
Granted |  | 443,500 |  | 1.43 |  |  |  |
Exercised |  | - |  | - |  |  |  |
Expired |  | - |  | - |  |  |  |
Cancelled or Forfeited |  | (38,510) |  | 14.40 |  |  |  |
Outstanding at end of period |  | 639,686 | $ | 1.70 |  | 9.4 | $ | -
Expected to vest |  | 562,701 | $ | 1.40 |  | 9.6 | $ | -
Exercisable at end of period |  | 76,985 | $ | 3.89 |  | 8.3 | $ | -

During the year ended December 31, 201 3, there were 38,510 stock options canceled or forfeited. Expense associated with unvested forfeited shares is reversed.

Information related to the stock option Plans during each year follows. There were no options exercised in 201 3 or 201 2.

|  | 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Intrinsic value of options exercised | $ | - | $ | - | $ | -

Tax benefit realized from option exercises |  | - |  | - |  | -
Weighted average fair value of options granted | $ | 1.03 | $ | 0.91 | $ | 0.75

As of December 31, 201 3, there was $374 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the Plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. Substantially all of the 562,701 nonvested stock options at December 31, 201 3 are expected to vest.

See accompanying notes.

53

Restricted Stock Awards

The Plans permit the grant of restricted stock awards to directors, officers and employees. Compensation is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at grant date. The fair value of the stock was determined using the closing share price on the date of grant and shares generally have vesting periods of one to three years. There were 935,352 shares available for stock option grants and restricted stock to be issued under the Plans at December 31, 201 3. There were no shares issued in 201 3 or 201 2.

A summary of changes in the Company’s nonvested restricted shares for the year follows:

Nonvested Shares |  | Shares |  | Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2013 |  | 1,400 | $ | 6.61
Granted |  | - |  | -
Vested |  | (400) |  | 5.00
Forfeited |  | (1,000) |  | 7.25
Nonvested at December 31, 2013 |  | - | $ | -

As of December 31, 201 3, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares granted under the Plans. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 201 3, 201 2 and 201 1 was $1, $4 and $1 4, respectively.

See accompanying notes.

NOTE 17 – Preferred Stock

On December 5, 2008, in connection with the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) Capital Purchase Program, the Company issued to the Department of the T reasury (“Treasury”) 7,225 shares of Central Federal Corporation Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (Preferred Stock) for $7,225. The Preferred Stock initially paid quarterly dividends at a five percent annual rate, which rate was scheduled to increase to nine percent after February 14, 2014, on a liquidation preference of $1 per share.

The Company’s Board of Directors elected to defer dividend payments on the Preferred Stock beginning with the dividend payable on November 15, 2010 in order to preserve cash at the Holding Company. At December 31, 2011, five quarterly dividend payments had been deferred. Cumulative deferred dividend payments totaled $466 at December 31, 2011. Although deferred, the dividends were accrued with an offsetting charge to accumulated deficit.

Pursuant to the Holding Company Order, as described in Note 2, the Holding Company may not declare, make, or pay any cash dividends (including dividends on the Preferred Stock, or the Holding Company’s common stock) or other capital distributions or purchase, repurchase or redeem or commit to purchase, repurchase, or redeem any Holding Company equity stock without the prior written non-objection of the FED. On July 13, 2012, the Company received approval from the FRB of Cleveland of an agreement with Treasury to redeem the Preferred Stock, including all accrued but unpaid dividends and the common stock warrant issued in connection with the TARP Capital Purchase Program (together, the “TARP obligations”) using proceeds of the Holding Company’s common stock offering. On August 23, 2012, the Company received regulatory non-objection from the OCC for redemption of the TARP obligations.

On September 26, 2012, pursuant to the agreement with the Treasury, the Company utilized $3,000 of the proceeds from its stock offering to redeem the TARP obligations including deferred dividends totalling $801. The redemption included satisfaction of common stock warrants associated with the preferred stock. The redemption was completed at a discount and resulted in an increase in common stockholders’ equity of $4,960.

NOTE 18 - Common Stock Warrant

In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Company also issued to Treasury a warrant to purchase 67,314 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $16.10 per share, which represented an aggregate investment, if exercised for cash, of approximately $1,100 in Company common stock. The exercise price could have been paid either by withholding a number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant equal to the value of the aggregate exercise price of the warrant, determined by reference to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day on which the warrant is exercised, or, if agreed to by the Company and the warrant holder, by the payment of cash equal to the aggregate exercise price. The warrant was exercisable any time before December 5, 2018.

The common stock warrant was redeemed on September 26, 2012 as part of the transaction with U.S. Treasury for redemption of the TARP obligations. See Note 17 for a discussion of the agreement with U.S. Treasury for redemption of the TARP obligations, including redemption of the common stock warrant.

NOTE 19 – REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS

CFBank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off‑balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

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

Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below at year end.

The CFBank Order required CFBank to have by September 30, 2011, and maintain thereafter, 8% Tier 1 (Core) Capital to adjusted total assets and 12% Total Capital to risk weighted assets, which it did not meet at September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2011. CFBank met the capital requirement at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012 as a result of a $13,500 capital contribution from the Holding Company usi ng from the net proceeds of the stock offering. However, CFBank will not be considered “well-capitalized” under applicable regulatory capital standards as long as it is subject to individual minimum capital requirements imposed by the OCC. CFBank was not considered “well capitalized” under the aforementioned applicable regulatory capital standards at December 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. Although the CFBank Order was terminated by the OCC effective January 23, 2014, CFBank remains subject to the heightened capital requirements imposed by the OCC and is required to maintain an 8% Tier 1 (core) Capital ratio to adjusted total assets and 12% Total Capital to risk weighted assets. See Note 2.-Regulatory Order Considerations for additional information

See accompanying notes.

57

As a result of the sale of the Company’s Fairlawn office building during the fourth quarter of 2013 for approximately $3.2 million, which generated a gain of approximately $1.1 million (see Note 8 – Premises and Equipment for additional information on the transaction), the Holding Company downstreamed $1.5 million of capital to CFBank as of October 29, 2013. The Company sought and obtained all required regulatory “non-objection” letters from both the FED and OCC in order to consummate the transaction.

The Qualified Thrift Lender test requires at least 65% of assets be maintained in housing-related finance and other specified areas. If this test is not met, limits are placed on growth, branching, new investments, FHLB advances and dividends, or CFBank must convert to a commercial bank charter. Management believes that this test is met at December 31, 2013.

CFBank converted from a mutual to a stock institution in 1998, and a “liquidation account” was established with an initial balance of $14,300, which was the net worth reported in the conversion prospectus. The liquidation account represents a calculated amount for the purposes described below, and it does not represent actual funds included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Eligible depositors who have maintained their accounts, less annual reductions to the extent they have reduced their deposits, would be entitled to a priority distribution from this account if CFBank liquidated and its assets exceeded its liabilities. Dividends may not reduce CFBank’s stockholder’s equity below the required liquidation account balance.

Dividend Restrictions: The Holding Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from CFBank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements described above. CFBank must receive regulatory approval prior to any dividend payments. Additionally CFBank does not intend to make distributions to the Holding Company, or the Holding Company to stockholders that would result in a recapture of any portion of its thrift bad debt reserve as discussed in Note 14-Income taxes.

As of December 31, 2013, CFBank could pay no dividends to the Holding Company under these regulations without receiving the prior written approval of the OCC. In addition, p ursuant to the CFBank Order, CFBank was also prohibited from declaring or paying dividends or mak ing any other capital distributions without receiving prior written approval of the OCC. Future dividend payments by CFBank to the Holding Company would be based on future earnings and regulatory approval. The payment of dividends from CFBank to the Holding Company is not likely to be approved by the OCC while CFBank is suffering losses.

See accompanying notes.

NOTE 20 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Interest-rate swaps

CFBank utilizes interest-rate swaps as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position, and does not use derivatives for trading purposes. The notional amount of the interest-rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest-rate swap agreements. CFBank was party to interest-rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $7,535 at December 31, 2013 and $7,750 at December 31, 2012.

The objective of the interest-rate swaps is to protect the related fixed rate commercial real estate loans from changes in fair value due to changes in interest rates. CFBank has a program whereby it lends to its borrowers at a fixed rate with the loan agreement containing a two-way yield maintenance provision, which will be invoked in the event of prepayment of the loan, and is expected to exactly offset the fair value of unwinding the swap. The yield maintenance provision represents an embedded derivative which is bifurcated from the host loan contract and, as such, the swaps and embedded derivatives are not designated as hedges. Accordingly, both instruments are carried at fair value and changes in fair value are reported in current period earnings. CFBank currently does not have any derivatives designated as hedges.

Contingent Features: The counterparty to CFBank’s interest-rate swaps is exposed to credit risk whenever the interest-rate swaps are in a liability position. At year-end 2013, CFBank had $943 in securities and cash pledged as collateral for these derivatives. Should the liability increase, CFBank will be required to pledge additional collateral.

Additionally, CFBank’s interest-rate swap instruments contain provisions that require CFBank to remain well capitalized under regulatory capital standards. The interest-rate swaps could be called by the counterparty as a result of CFBank’s failure to maintain well-capitalized status due to the CFBank Order. Should market interest rates decrease from December 31, 201 3 levels, the payment may increase in the event the swaps are called. In the event the interest-rate swaps are called and CFBank is unable to replace them, CFBank will be exposed to the market risk of the valuation of the yield maintenance provisions and, absent the borrowers’ prepaying the loans, as of December 31, 2013 would incur a net $599 expense, subject to valuation fluctuations, over the remaining lives of the related loans.

Summary information about the derivative instruments is as follows:

|  | 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Notional amount | $ | 7,535 | $ | 7,750 | $ | 7,949
Weighted average pay rate on interest-rate swaps |  | 3.86% |  | 3.86% |  | 3.86%
Weighted average receive rate on interest-rate swaps |  | 0.19% |  | 0.24% |  | 0.35%
Weighted average maturity (years) |  | 3.6 |  | 4.6 |  | 5.6
Fair value of interest-rate swaps | $ | (599) | $ | (990) | $ | (999)
Fair value of yield maintenance provisions | $ | 599 | $ | 990 | $ | 999

The fair value of the yield maintenance provisions and interest-rate swaps is recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the yield maintenance provisions and interest-rate swaps are reported currently in earnings, as other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of operations. There were no net gains or losses recognized in earnings related to yield maintenance provisions and interest-rate swaps in 2013, 2012 or 2011.

See accompanying notes.

Mortgage banking derivatives

Commitments to fund certain mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market are considered derivatives. These mortgage banking derivatives are not designated in hedge relationships. The Company had approximately $3,476 and $2,079 of interest rate lock commitments related to residential mortgage loans at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The fair value of these mortgage banking derivatives was reflected by a derivative asset of $16 and $45 at December 31, 201 3 and 201 2, respectively, which was included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Fair values were estimated based on anticipated gains on the sale of the underlying loans. Changes in the fair values of these mortgage banking derivatives are included in net gains on sales of loans. Net gains (losses) recognized in earnings related to these mortgage banking derivatives totaled ($29), $6 and ($2) in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 21 – LOAN COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off‑balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

The contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at year end were as follows.

|  | 2013 |  | 2012
|  | Fixed Rate |  | Variable Rate |  | Fixed Rate |  | Variable Rate
Commitments to make loans | $ | 8,169 | $ | 11,569 | $ | 4,307 | $ | 309
Unused lines of credit | $ | 47 | $ | 22,993 | $ | 47 | $ | 18,142
Standby letters of credit | $ | - | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 522

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 60 days or less, except for construction loan commitments, which are typically for a period of one year, and loans under a specific drawdown schedule, which are based on the individual contracts. The fixed rate loan commitments had interest rates ranging from 4.0% to 5.25% and maturities ranging from 6 to 31 years at December 31, 2013. The fixed rate loan commitments had interest rates ranging from 2.99% to 5.0% and maturities ranging from 16 months to 30 years at December 31, 2012.

During 2013, the Company invested funds into three joint ventures (equity stake) for the purpose of allocating excess liquidity into higher earning assets while diversifying its revenue sources. Each of these joint ventures is related to the development of single family real estate in the form of condominiums. The total original investment into the se three joint ventures total $1,275, of which $1,139 was outstanding at December 31, 2013. Income is recognized based on a preferred rate of return on the outstanding investment balance. As units are sold, the Company also receives a return of capital and an additional incentive payment. The incentive payment is recognized as income. During 2013, the Company recognized $102 in income associated with these joint ventures.

NOTE 23 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

The two-class method is used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the two-class method, earnings available to common stockholders for the period are allocated between common stockholders and unvested share-based payment awards according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The factors used in the earnings per share computation follow:

NOTE 24 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

CFBank participates in a multi-employer contributory trusteed pension plan. On August 17, 2012, CFBank was notified by the trustees of the plan that, due to CFBank’s financial performance and the CFBank Order, it was required make a contribution or provide a letter of credit in the amount of the funding shortfall plus estimated cost of annuitization of benefits in the plan, which was determined to be $908. CFBank obtained a letter of credit from the FHLB for this amount, which was subsequently replaced with a letter of credit from Comerica Bank. The cost of obtaining the letter of credit was $9. The letter of credit was in place from August 28, 2012 to August 28, 2013. Subsequent to August 28, 2013 the letter of credit was no longer req uired.
