NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: BankFinancial Corporation, a Maryland corporation headquartered in Burr Ridge, Illinois, is the owner of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of BankFinancial, NA (the “Bank”). The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of BankFinancial Corporation, the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Financial Assurance Services, Inc. and BFIN Asset Recovery Company, LLC (collectively, “the Company”), and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. Such adjustments are the only adjustments reflected in the accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any other period.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ.
Lease Accounting: The Company adopted FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), including the adoption of the practical expedients, effective January 1, 2019. Lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The Company recorded assets and liabilities of $6.7 million as a result of recording additional lease contracts where the Company is lessee. The Company did not restate comparative periods. The right of use assets are included in other assets and the lease obligations are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.
Other Intangible Assets: Intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Core deposit intangible assets (“CDI”), are recognized at the time of acquisition based on valuations prepared by independent third parties or other estimates of fair value. In preparing such valuations, variables such as deposit servicing costs, attrition rates, and market discount rates are considered. CDI assets are amortized to expense over their useful lives. CDI were $68,000 and $102,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.
Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period’s financial statements to conform them to the current period’s presentation.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). These amendments require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 is effective for SEC filers or fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e., January 1, 2020, for calendar year entities). In July 2019, the FASB proposed changes to the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies, as defined by the SEC, and other non-SEC reporting entities. The proposal would delay the effective date to fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal periods. As the Company is a smaller reporting company, the proposed delay would be applicable to the Company, if it is approved by the FASB.

Stock options and restricted stock are regarded as potential common stock and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent that they would have a dilutive effect if converted to common stock.

The Company evaluates marketable investment securities with significant declines in fair value on a quarterly basis to determine whether they should be considered other-than-temporarily impaired under current accounting guidance, which generally provides that if a marketable security is in an unrealized loss position, whether due to general market conditions or industry or issuer-specific factors, the holder of the securities must assess whether the impairment is other-than-temporary.
Certain mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations that the Company holds in its investment portfolio were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2019, but the unrealized losses were not considered significant under the Company’s impairment testing methodology. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell these securities, and it is likely that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery occurs.
The Bank, as a member of Visa USA, received 51,404 unrestricted shares of Visa, Inc. Class B common stock in connection with Visa, Inc.’s initial public offering in 2007. The retroactive responsibility plan obligates all former Visa USA members to indemnify Visa USA, in proportion to their equity interests in Visa USA, for certain litigation losses and expenses, including settlement expenses, for the lawsuits covered by the retrospective responsibility plan. Due to the restrictions that the retrospective responsibility plan imposes on the Company’s Visa, Inc. Class B shares, the Company had not recorded the Class B shares as an asset.
The Bank sold 25,702 shares of Visa Class B common stock in the fourth quarter of 2018 and recorded a gain of $3.6 million. For equity investments without readily determinable fair values, when an orderly transaction for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer is identified, we use the valuation techniques permitted under ASC 820 Fair Value to evaluate the observed transaction(s) and adjust the fair value of the equity investment. Based on the existing transfer restriction and the uncertainty of the outcome of the Visa litigation mentioned above, the 25,702 Visa Class B shares that the Company owned as of December 31, 2018 were recorded at $3.4 million in other assets with a corresponding gain.
The Bank sold the remaining 25,702 shares of Visa Class B common stock in the first quarter of 2019 and recorded a gain of $295,000.

Nonaccrual loans and impaired loans are defined differently. Some loans may be included in both categories, and some loans may only be included in one category. Nonaccrual loans include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans.
The Company’s reserve for uncollected loan interest was $149,000 and $72,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. When a loan is on nonaccrual status and the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. Alternatively, when a loan is on non-accrual status but there is doubt concerning only the ultimate collectability of interest, contractual interest is credited to interest income only when received, under the cash basis method pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 310–10, as applicable. In all cases, the average balances are calculated based on the month–end balances of the financing receivables within the period reported pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 310–10, as applicable.

NOTE 4 - LOANS RECEIVABLE (continued)
Troubled Debt Restructurings
The Company evaluates loan extensions or modifications in accordance with FASB ASC 310–40 with respect to the classification of the loan as a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR"). In general, if the Company grants a loan extension or modification to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties for other than an insignificant period of time that includes a below–market interest rate, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance or other concession intended to minimize the economic loss to the Company, the loan extension or loan modification is classified as a TDR. In cases where borrowers are granted new terms that provide for a reduction of either interest or principal then due and payable, management measures any impairment on the restructured loan in the same manner as for impaired loans as noted above.
The Company had $17,000 of TDRs at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. No specific valuation reserves were allocated to those loans at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company had no outstanding commitments to borrowers whose loans were classified as TDRs at either date.
The following table presents loans classified as TDRs:

| June 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
One-to-four family residential real estate - nonaccrual | $ | 17 |  |  | $ | 17 |

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no loans modified and classified as TDRs. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no TDR loans that subsequently defaulted within twelve months of their modification.
A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.
To determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans based on credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a monthly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention. A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard. Loans categorized as Substandard continue to accrue interest, but exhibit a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. The loans continue to accrue interest because they are well secured and collection of principal and interest is expected within a reasonable time. The risk rating guidance published by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency clarifies that a loan with a well-defined weakness does not have to present a probability of default for the loan to be rated Substandard, and that an individual loan’s loss potential does not have to be distinct for the loan to be rated Substandard.
Nonaccrual. An asset classified Nonaccrual has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered “Pass” rated loans.

NOTE 5 - OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
R eal estate that is acquired through foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned ("OREO") until it is sold. When real estate is acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, it is recorded at its fair value, less the estimated costs of disposal. If the fair value of the property is less than the loan balance, the difference is charged against the allowance for loan losses.

NOTE 6 - LEASES
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Leases (Topic 842) establishes a right of use model that requires a lessee to record a right of use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Company is obligated under three non-cancellable operating lease agreements for two branch properties and its corporate office with terms extending through 2032. The Company's lease agreements include options to renew at the Company's discretion. The extensions are not reasonably certain to be exercised; therefore, they were not considered in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability.
The following table represents the classification of the Company's right of use and lease liabilities:

|  | Statement of Financial Condition Location |  | June 30, 2019 |
Operating Lease Right of Use Asset: |  |  |  |
Gross carrying amount |  |  |  | $ | 6,694 |
Accumulated amortization |  |  |  | (424 | )
Net book value |  | Other assets |  | $ | 6,270 |
Operating Lease Liabilities: |  |  |  |
Right of use lease obligations |  | Other liabilities |  | $ | 6,270 |

At June 30, 2019, the weighted-average remaining lease term for the operating leases was 9.4 years and the weighted-average discount rate used in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was 3.16%. The Company utilized the FHLB fixed rate advance rate as of January 1, 2019 for the term most closely aligning with the remaining lease term.

|  | For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 |  | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Gross amount of recognized liabilities for repurchase agreements in Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition |  | $ | 1,049 |

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase were secured by mortgage-backed securities with a carrying amount of $2.4 million and $2.7 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Because security values fluctuate due to market conditions, the Company has no control over the market value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The Company is contractually obligated to promptly transfer additional securities to the counterparty if the market value of the securities falls below the repurchase price.
Also included in total borrowings were fixed-rate advances, due within a year, from the FHLB of $20.0 million at December 31, 2018. There were no outstanding FHLB borrowings at June 30, 2019.
NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

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

20

Table of Contents
BANKFINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE (continued)

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

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

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:
Securities: The fair values of debt securities are generally determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2).
Other investments: Other investments includes our investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values, includes our Visa Class B shares, which are categorized as Level 3. Our Visa Class B ownership includes shares acquired at no cost from our prior participation in Visa’s network while Visa operated as a cooperative.
Impaired loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available for similar loans and collateral underlying such loans. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted in accordance with the allowance policy.
Other real estate owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are updated no less frequently than annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach with data from comparable properties. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Real estate owned properties are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Loans: The exit price observations are obtained from an independent third-party using its proprietary valuation model and methodology and may not reflect actual or prospective market valuations. The valuation is based on the probability of default, loss given default, recovery delay, prepayment, and discount rate assumptions.
While the above estimates are based on management’s judgment of the most appropriate factors, as of the balance sheet date, there is no assurance that the estimated fair values would have been realized if the assets were disposed of or the liabilities settled at that date, since market values may differ depending on the various circumstances. The estimated fair values would also not apply to subsequent dates.
In addition, other assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments, such as premises and equipment, are not included in the above disclosures.

(1) Not within the scope of ASC 606
A description of the Company's revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:
Deposit service charges and fees: The Company earns fees from its deposit customers based on specific types of transactions, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.
Interchange income: The Company earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through the Visa payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Interchange income is included in deposit service charges and fees. Interchange income was $762,000 and $755,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Interchange income was $401,000 and $394,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Gain on sale of premises held-for-sale: On April 23, 2018, the Bank sold its office building located in Burr Ridge, Illinois. The sale was to an unrelated party and title was transferred at closing. As such, the transaction constituted a sale and a net gain was recorded in the second quarter of 2018.
Trust and insurance commissions and annuities income: The Company earns trust, insurance commissions and annuities income from its contracts with trust customers to manage assets for investment, and/or to transact on their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of assets under management (AUM) at month-end. Fees that are transaction based, including trade execution services, are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed, i.e., the trade date. Other related services provided include fees the Company earns, which are based on a fixed fee schedule, are recognized when the services are rendered.
Gains/losses on sales of OREO and other assets: The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO and other assets when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present. OREO sales for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were not financed by the Bank.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains, and other periodic and current reports, press releases and other public stockholder communications of BankFinancial Corporation may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve significant risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to our future plans, strategies and expectations, as well as our future revenues, earnings, losses, financial performance, financial condition, asset quality metrics and future prospects. Forward looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “preliminary,” “project,” “plan,” or similar expressions. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date made. They are frequently based on assumptions that may or may not materialize, and are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements. We intend all forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for the purpose of invoking these safe harbor provisions.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated or projected results and which could materially and adversely affect our operating results, financial condition or future prospects include, but are not limited to: (i) less than anticipated loan growth due to intense competition for high quality loans and leases, particularly in terms of pricing and credit underwriting, or a dearth of borrowers who meet our underwriting standards; (ii) the impact of re-pricing and competitors’ pricing initiatives on loan and deposit products; (iii) interest rate movements and their impact on the economy, customer behavior and our net interest margin; (iv) adverse economic conditions in general, in the Chicago metropolitan area in particular and in other market areas where we operate that could result in increased delinquencies in our loan portfolio or a decline in the value of our investment securities and the collateral for our loans; (v) declines in real estate values that adversely impact the value of our loan collateral, OREO, asset dispositions and the level of borrower equity in their investments; (vi) borrowers that experience legal or financial difficulties that we do not currently foresee; (vii) results of supervisory monitoring or examinations by regulatory authorities, including the possibility that a regulatory authority could, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses or adversely change our loan classifications, write-down assets, reduce credit concentrations or maintain specific capital levels; (viii) changes, disruptions or illiquidity in national or global financial markets; (ix) the credit risks of lending activities, including risks that could cause changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and charge-offs or changes in estimates relating to the computation of our allowance for loan losses; (x) monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; (xi) factors affecting our ability to access deposits or cost-effective funding, and the impact of competitors' pricing initiatives on our deposit products; (xii) the impact of new legislation or regulatory changes, on our products, services, operations and operating expenses; (xiii) higher federal deposit insurance premiums; (xiv) higher than expected overhead, infrastructure and compliance costs; (xv) changes in accounting or tax principles, policies or guidelines; and (xvi) privacy and cybersecurity risks, including the risks of business interruption and the compromise of confidential customer information resulting from intrusions.
These risks and uncertainties, together with the Risk Factors and other information set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as well as other filings we make with the SEC, should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement in the future, or to reflect circumstances and events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement was made.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the most critical accounting policies upon which our financial condition and results of operation depend, and which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, are included in the discussion entitled “Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC.

Overview
We reported net income of $807,000, or $0.05 per common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net income of $4.6 million, or $0.26 per common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2018. We also reported net income of $4.4 million, or $0.28 per common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net income of $8.2 million, or $0.46 per common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The reduction in net income compared to the prior periods reflected the impact of a $4.4 million pre-tax loss resulting from the non-recourse sale of a $7.8 million Chicago commercial credit relationship during the second quarter of 2019 after the borrowers placed the going concern status of their business in jeopardy by failing to make excise tax payments in violation of their agreements with the State of Illinois.
Our net interest income before provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was stable compared to the previous quarter at $13.1 million. Deposit, loan and trust fee income increased $96,000, or 8.3%, from the previous quarter. Non-interest expense was $9.5 million, a 6.2% reduction from the previous quarter, due to lower compensation and benefits and lower occupancy costs.
The average yield on our loan and lease portfolio for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was 4.76%, compared to an average loan and lease portfolio yield of 4.77% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The average yield on our securities portfolio increased to 2.80% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to an average yield of 2.67% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The average cost of retail and commercial deposits increased to 1.13% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to an average cost of 1.08% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The average cost of wholesale deposits and borrowings increased to 2.39% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to an average cost of 2.29% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Our net interest margin declined slightly to 3.60% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to 3.64% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
For the second quarter of 2019, commercial loans decreased by $18.6 million (10.8%) primarily due to the non-recourse loan sale and reduced line utilization by commercial equipment lessors. Multi-family real estate loans decreased by $14.4 million (2.3%), compared to March 31, 2019 due to lower originations volume and elevated payoffs due to project sales or cash-out refinances by other lenders. One-to-four residential real estate loan balances declined due to portfolio amortization and prepayments.
The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.24% and the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.23% at June 30, 2019. Non-performing commercial-related loans represented 0.17% of total commercial-related loans.
We continued various steps to emphasize the origination of retail certificates of deposit because they align with our current interest rate risk management strategies better than retail money market accounts. As a result, retail certificate of deposit accounts increased by $7.4 million (2.2%) compared to March 31, 2019 and retail money market deposit accounts declined by $1.7 million (0.7%). Total wholesale deposits and borrowings declined by $19.1 million (17.6%) during the second quarter of 2019 as we utilized excess liquidity to pay off maturing wholesale deposits and borrowings.
The Company’s capital position remained strong with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.04%. During the first half of 2019, we repurchased 1,107,550 common shares, which represented 6.7% of the common shares outstanding at December 31, 2018.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018
Total assets decreased $51.4 million, or 3.2%, to $1.534 billion at June 30, 2019, from $1.585 billion at December 31, 2018. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to the decrease in loans receivable, which was partially offset by increases in cash and cash equivalents and other assets. Loans decreased $56.3 million, or 4.3%, to $1.267 billion at June 30, 2019, from $1.324 billion at December 31, 2018. Cash and cash equivalents increased $5.4 million, or 5.5%, to $103.6 million at June 30, 2019, from $98.2 million at December 31, 2018. Other assets increased $3.1 million, or 28.7%, primarily due to the Company's implementation of FASB's ASU No. 2016-02. The implementation of ASU No. 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 required the recording of a right of use asset of $6.7 million to record the discounted cash flows of our lease payments for leases with terms greater than 12 months. The resulting increase in other assets was partially offset by the sale of the Bank's shares of Visa, Inc. Class B common stock during the first quarter of 2019.
Our loan portfolio consists primarily of investment and business loans (multi-family, nonresidential real estate, commercial, construction and land loans, and commercial leases), which together totaled 94.8% of gross loans at June 30, 2019. During the

six months ended June 30, 2019 commercial loans decreased by $33.7 million, or 18.0%; commercial leases decreased $10.3 million, or 3.4%; and nonresidential real estate loans decreased $7.0 million, or 4.6%.
Our primary lending area consists of the counties in the State of Illinois where our branch offices are located, and contiguous counties. We derive the most significant portion of our revenues from these geographic areas. We also engage in multi-family mortgage lending activities in carefully selected metropolitan areas outside our primary lending area, and engage in certain types of commercial lending and leasing activities on a nationwide basis. At June 30, 2019, $261.7 million, or 42.2%, of our multi-family mortgage loans were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for Chicago, Illinois; $64.2 million, or 10.4%, were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for Dallas, Texas; $58.6 million, or 9.5%, were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for Denver, Colorado; $42.4 million, or 6.8%, were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for Tampa, Florida; $28.7 million, or 4.6%, were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina; $22.5 million, or 3.6%, were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for San Antonio, Texas; and $19.8 million, or 3.2%, were in the Metropolitan Statistical Area for Minneapolis, Minnesota. This information reflects the location of the collateral, and does not necessarily reflect the location of the borrower.
Total liabilities decreased $35.7 million, or 2.6%, to $1.362 billion at June 30, 2019, from $1.398 billion at December 31, 2018, primarily due to decreases in deposits and borrowings. Total deposits decreased $22.3 million, or 1.6%, to $1.330 billion at June 30, 2019, from $1.352 billion at December 31, 2018. Retail certificates of deposit increased $16.6 million, or 5.0%, to $348.7 million at June 30, 2019, from $332.1 million at December 31, 2018. Wholesale certificates of deposit decreased $17.5 million, or 16.4%, to $88.8 million at June 30, 2019, from $106.3 million at December 31, 2018. Money market accounts decreased $9.0 million, or 3.5%, to $246.9 million at June 30, 2019, from $256.0 million at December 31, 2018. Interest-bearing NOW accounts increased $2.6 million, or 0.9%, to $278.4 million at June 30, 2019, from $275.8 million at December 31, 2018. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $16.1 million, or 7.0%, to $214.0 million at June 30, 2019, from $230.0 million at December 31, 2018 and savings accounts increased $1.1 million, or 0.7%, to $153.4 million at June 30, 2019, from $152.3 million at December 31, 2018. Core deposits (which consists of savings, money market, noninterest-bearing demand and NOW accounts) represented 67.1% of total deposits at June 30, 2019, compared to 67.6% at December 31, 2018.
Total stockholders’ equity was $171.5 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $187.2 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease in total stockholders’ equity was primarily due to our repurchase of 1,107,550 shares of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2019 at a total cost of $16.8 million and our declaration and payment of cash dividends totaling $3.2 million during the same period. These reductions in total stockholders’ equity were partially offset by the net income of $4.4 million that the Company recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Net Income. Net income was $807,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Earnings per basic and fully diluted share of common stock were $0.05 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $0.26 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in net interest income reflected a $1.5 million, or 10.0%, increase in interest income, which was partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in interest expense.
The increase in interest income was attributable to an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in total average interest-earning assets. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 50 basis points to 4.54% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from 4.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 51 basis points to 1.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from 0.73% for the same period in 2018. Total average interest-earning assets decreased $34.6 million, or 2.3%, to $1.458 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $1.493 billion for the same period in 2018. Our net interest rate spread decreased by one basis point to 3.30% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from 3.31% for the same period in 2018. Our net interest margin increased by 11 basis points to 3.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from 3.49% for the same period in 2018.

Provision for Loan Losses
We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, we consider past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of nonperforming and other classified loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or events change. We assess the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and make provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance.
A loan balance is classified as a loss and charged-off when it is confirmed that there is no readily apparent source of repayment for the portion of the loan that is classified as loss. Confirmation can occur upon the receipt of updated third-party appraisal valuation information indicating that there is a low probability of repayment upon sale of the collateral, the final disposition of collateral where the net proceeds are insufficient to pay the loan balance in full, our failure to obtain possession of certain consumer-loan collateral within certain time limits specified by applicable federal regulations, the conclusion of legal proceedings where the borrower’s obligation to repay is legally discharged (such as a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding), or when it appears that further formal collection procedures are not likely to result in net proceeds in excess of the costs to collect.
We recorded a provision for loan losses of $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $23,000 for the same period in 2018. The provision for or recovery of loan losses is a function of the allowance for loan loss methodology that we use to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for inherent loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted. The portion of the allowance for loan losses attributable to loans collectively evaluated for impairment decreased $530,000, or 6.3%, to $7.8 million at June 30, 2019 from March 31, 2019. There were no reserves established for loans individually evaluated for impairment for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Net charge-offs were $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net charge-offs of $185,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
The $4.0 million provision for loan losses that we recorded in the second quarter of 2019 was due to a pre-tax loss of $4.4 million that we recorded on the non-recourse sale of a $7.8 million commercial credit relationship. The loans were originated in 2016 to two affiliated wholesale fuel distributors. The loans were secured by accounts receivable and supplemental real estate collateral, and were personally guaranteed by the borrowers’ principals. In the second quarter of 2019, we learned that one of the borrowers failed to make excise tax payments in violation of its agreements with the State of Illinois, that a tax performance bond that was a condition to the borrower’s continued ability to operate as a wholesale fuel distributor in the State of Illinois would not be renewed by the borrower’s insurer, and that the borrower had apparently altered its collection procedures and cash management practices in ways that appeared to make it necessary for us to institute litigation to gain control of and collect the proceeds of the accounts receivable collateral. We evaluated these and other factors, including the risks to the borrower’s ability to continue to operate as a going concern, and concluded that a sale of the loans at a discount was a superior alternative to initiating potentially costly and protracted litigation, the outcome of which could not be predicted with reasonable certainty.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 260.54% at June 30, 2019, compared to 580.14% at March 31, 2019 and 560.93% at December 31, 2018.

Earnings on bank owned life insurance decreased by $7,000, or 15.6%, to $38,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to the decrease in the bank-owned life insurance investment resulting from the death benefit paid in 2018. Other income decreased $30,000, or 21.0%, to $113,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $143,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

in compensation and benefits expense, partially due to a decrease in full-time equivalent employees to 231 at June 30, 2019 from 250 one year ago. Office occupancy and equipment expense decreased $41,000, or 2.5%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $1.7 million for the same period in 2018. Advertising and public relations expense decreased $129,000, or 47.1%, to $145,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $274,000 for the same period in 2018. Information technology expense increased $28,000, or 4.0%, to $736,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $708,000 for the same period in 2018, primarily due the costs of new operational software and related hardware enhancements. Nonperforming asset management expense increased $7,000, or 13.7%, to $58,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $51,000 for the same period in 2018. There was $21,000 of valuation adjustments for OREO for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1,000 for the same period in 2018. Expense for operations of OREO decreased $65,000, or 74.7%, to $22,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to decreased maintenance and repairs and receiver fees. FDIC insurance premiums increased $42,000, or 40.4%, to $146,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $104,000 for the same period in 2018.
Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $293,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our combined state and federal effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 26.6% versus an effective tax rate of 20.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Net Income. We had net income of $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Earnings per basic and fully diluted share of common stock were $0.28 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $0.46 per basic and fully diluted share for the same period in 2018.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $26.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $26.0 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in net interest income reflected a $3.3 million, or 11.0%, increase in interest income, which was partially offset by a $3.0 million increase in interest expense.
The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in total average interest-earning assets. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 53 basis points, or 13.2%, to 4.54% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 4.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 54 basis points to 1.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 0.68% for the same period in 2018. Total average interest-earning assets decreased $27.7 million, or 1.85%, to $1.468 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $1.496 billion for the same period in 2018. Our net interest rate spread decreased one basis point to 3.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 3.33% for the same period in 2018. Our net interest margin increased by 11 basis points to 3.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 3.51% for the same period in 2018.

Provision for Loan Losses
We recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a recovery of loan losses of $235,000 for the same period in 2018. The portion of the allowance for loan losses attributable to loans collectively evaluated for impairment decreased $619,000, or 7.3%, to $7.8 million at June 30, 2019, from $8.4 million at December 31, 2018. There was a $27,000 recovery of reserve established for loans individually evaluated for impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to no change for the same period in 2018. Net charge-offs were $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net recoveries of $48,000 for the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to a $4.4 million loss recorded on the final sale of a Chicago commercial credit exposure that experienced an unexpected deterioration in the second quarter.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 260.54% at June 30, 2019, compared to 560.93% at December 31, 2018.

Noninterest income decreased by $1.6 million, or 34.2%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. In the second quarter of 2018, we recorded income from a death benefit on a bank-owned life insurance policy in the amount of $1.4 million as a result of the death of a retired Bank executive, and also recorded a $93,000 gain on the sale of our office building in Burr Ridge, Illinois. Loan fee income decreased $81,000, or 50.6%, to $79,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $160,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. We recorded $8,000 in commercial mortgage brokerage fees for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compensation for commercial loans that we placed with other institutions, compared to $126,000 for the same period in 2018. Residential mortgage banking fees decreased $13,000 to $41,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company no longer originates one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. All of the loans the Company currently originates are commercial-related loans, such as multi-family, nonresidential real estate, commercial, construction and land loans, and commercial leases. Trust and insurance commissions and annuities income declined by $34,000, or 7.3%, to $429,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, due to lower sales of annuity products and property and casualty insurance, related in part to the consolidation of our Wealth Management Department into our Trust Department.

Noninterest expense decreased by $604,000, or 3.0%, to $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $20.2 million for the same period in 2018. Compensation and benefits expense decreased $202,000, or 1.8%, partially due to a decrease in full-time equivalent employees to 231 at June 30, 2019 from 250 one year ago. Office occupancy and equipment expense increased $73,000, or 2.2%, to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $3.4 million for the same period in 2018, primarily due to a $115,000 increase in rent expense and a $138,000 increase in snow removal expense, offset by a decrease in real estate taxes of $144,000. Advertising and public relations decreased by $111,000, or 26.6%, to $306,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $417,000 for the same period in 2018. Nonperforming asset management decreased $141,000 to $112,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $253,000 for the same period in 2018, due in substantial part to a $ 123,000 decrease in legal expense resulting primarily from efforts to collect a previously charged-off loan. Expense for operations of OREO decreased $129,000, or 63.9%, to $73,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $202,000 for the same period in 2018. The decrease reflects a combined decrease of $174,000 in maintenance and repairs, receiver fees and real estate tax expense.
Income Taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $1.6 million of income tax expense, compared to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 26.5%, compared to 23.4% for the same period in 2018.
Nonperforming Loans and Assets
We review loans on a regular basis, and generally place loans on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. In addition, we place loans on nonaccrual status when we do not expect to receive full payment of interest or principal. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are recognized in accordance with our significant accounting policies. Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the borrower must generally demonstrate at least six consecutive months of contractual payment performance before the loan is eligible to return to accrual status. We may have loans classified as 90 days or more delinquent and still accruing. Generally, we do not utilize this category of loan classification unless: (1) the loan is repaid in full shortly after the period end date; (2) the loan is well secured and there are no asserted or pending legal barriers to its collection; or (3) the borrower has remitted all scheduled payments and is otherwise in substantial compliance with the terms of the loan, but the processing of loan payments actually received or the renewal of the loan has not occurred for administrative reasons. At June 30, 2019, we had no loans in this category.
We typically obtain new third–party appraisals or collateral valuations when we place a loan on nonaccrual status, conduct impairment testing or conduct a TDR analysis unless the existing valuation information for the collateral is sufficiently current to comply with the requirements of our Appraisal and Collateral Valuation Policy (“ACV Policy”). We also obtain new third–party appraisals or collateral valuations when the judicial foreclosure process concludes with respect to real estate collateral, and when we otherwise acquire actual or constructive title to real estate collateral. In addition to third–party appraisals, we use updated valuation information based on Multiple Listing Service data, broker opinions of value, actual sales prices of similar assets sold by us and approved sales prices in response to offers to purchase similar assets owned by us to provide interim valuation information
37

Table of Contents
for consolidated financial statement and management purposes. Our ACV Policy establishes the maximum useful life of a real estate appraisal at 18 months. Because appraisals and updated valuations utilize historical or “ask–side” data in reaching valuation conclusions, the appraised or updated valuation may or may not reflect the actual sales price that we will receive at the time of sale.
Real estate appraisals may include up to three approaches to value: the sales comparison approach, the income approach (for income-producing property) and the cost approach. Not all appraisals utilize all three approaches. Depending on the nature of the collateral and market conditions, we may emphasize one approach over another in determining the fair value of real estate collateral. Appraisals may also contain different estimates of value based on the level of occupancy or planned future improvements. “As-is” valuations represent an estimate of value based on current market conditions with no changes to the use or condition of the real estate collateral. “As-stabilized” or “as-completed” valuations assume the real estate collateral will be improved to a stated standard or achieve its highest and best use in terms of occupancy. “As-stabilized” or “as-completed” valuations may be subject to a present value adjustment for market conditions or the schedule of improvements.
As part of the asset classification process, we develop an exit strategy for real estate collateral or OREO by assessing overall market conditions, the current use and condition of the asset, and its highest and best use. For most income–producing real estate, we believe that investors value most highly a stable income stream from the asset; consequently, we perform a comparative evaluation to determine whether conducting a sale on an “as–is,” “as–stabilized” or “as–completed” basis is most likely to produce the highest net realizable value. If we determine that the “as–stabilized” or “as–completed” basis is appropriate, we then complete the necessary improvements or tenant stabilization tasks, with the applicable time value discount and improvement expenses incorporated into our estimates of the expected costs to sell. As of June 30, 2019, substantially all impaired real estate loan collateral and OREO were valued on an “as–is basis.”
Estimates of the net realizable value of real estate collateral also include a deduction for the expected costs to sell the collateral or such other deductions from the cash flows resulting from the operation and liquidation of the asset as are appropriate. For most real estate collateral subject to the judicial foreclosure process, we generally apply a 10.0% deduction to the value of the asset to determine the expected costs to sell the asset. This estimate includes one year of real estate taxes, sales commissions and miscellaneous repair and closing costs. If we receive a purchase offer that requires unbudgeted repairs, or if the expected resolution period for the asset exceeds one year, we then include, on a case-by-case basis, the costs of the additional real estate taxes and repairs and any other material holding costs in the expected costs to sell the collateral. For OREO, we generally apply a 7.0% deduction to determine the expected costs to sell, as expenses for real estate taxes and repairs are expensed when incurred.

Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets increased $764,000 to $3.5 million at June 30, 2019, from $2.7 million at December 31, 2018. One residential loan with a book balance of $46,000 was transferred from nonaccrual loans to OREO during the six months ended June 30, 2019. We continue to experience modest quantities of defaults on residential real estate loans principally due either to the borrower’s personal financial condition or deteriorated collateral value.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. The overall objective of our liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash funds to meet all financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. We manage liquidity in order to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.
Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and, to a lesser extent, wholesale borrowings, the proceeds from maturing securities and short-term investments, the sales of loans and securities and lease payments. The scheduled amortization of loans and securities, as well as proceeds from borrowings, are predictable sources of funds. Other funding sources, however, such as deposit inflows, mortgage prepayments and mortgage loan sales are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments and lines of credit and maturing certificates of deposit that are not renewed or extended. We generally remain fully invested and utilize FHLB advances as an additional sources of funds. We had no FHLB advances outstanding at June 30, 2019 and $20.0 million at December 31, 2018.
BankFinancial Corporation is a separate legal entity from BankFinancial, NA. The Company must provide for its own liquidity to pay any dividends to its shareholders and to repurchase shares of its common stock, and for other corporate purposes. Its primary source of liquidity is dividend payments it receives from the Bank. The Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company is subject to regulatory limitations. At June 30, 2019, the Company (on an unconsolidated, stand-alone basis) had liquid assets of $6.1 million.
As of June 30, 2019, we were not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that had or were reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on our liquidity. As of June 30, 2019, we had no other material commitments for capital expenditures.
Capital Management - Bank. The overall objectives of our capital management are to ensure the availability of sufficient capital to support loan, deposit and other asset and liability growth opportunities and to maintain sufficient capital to absorb unforeseen losses or write-downs that are inherent in the business risks associated with the banking industry. We seek to balance the need for higher capital levels to address such unforeseen risks and the goal to achieve an adequate return on the capital invested by our stockholders.
The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. The capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve the quantitative measurement of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. The failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in regulatory actions. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015, with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019. The net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital.
In addition, as a result of the legislation, the federal banking agencies are required to develop a “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (the ratio of a bank’s tangible equity capital to average total consolidated assets) for financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion. A “qualifying community bank” that exceeds this ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under Prompt Corrective Action statutes. The federal banking agencies may consider a financial institution’s risk profile when evaluating whether it qualifies as a community bank for purposes of the capital ratio requirement. The federal banking agencies must set the minimum capital for the new Community Bank Leverage Ratio at not less than 8% and not more than 10%, and have proposed 9% as the minimum capital level. A financial institution can elect to be subject to this new definition.
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. As of June 30, 2019 and
39

Table of Contents
December 31, 2018, the OCC categorized the Bank as well–capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since those notifications that management believes have changed the institution’s well–capitalized status.
The minimum capital ratios set forth in the Regulatory Capital Plans will be increased or decreased and other minimum capital requirements will be established or revised as necessary. In accordance with the Regulatory Capital Plans, neither the Company nor the Bank will pursue any acquisition or growth opportunity, declare any dividend or conduct any stock repurchase that would cause the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio and/or its Tier 1 leverage ratio to fall below the established minimum capital levels or the capital levels required for capital adequacy plus the Capital Conservation Buffer ("CCB"). The minimum CCB at June 30, 2019 is 2.5%. In addition, the Company intends to continue to maintain its ability to serve as a source of financial strength to the Bank by holding at least $5.0 million of cash or liquid assets for that purpose. As of June 30, 2019, the Bank and the Company were well-capitalized, with all capital ratios exceeding the well-capitalized requirement. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the Bank’s prompt corrective action capitalization category.
The Bank is subject to regulatory restrictions on the amount of dividends it may declare and pay to the Company without prior regulatory approval, and to regulatory notification requirements for dividends that do not require prior regulatory approval.

Quarterly Cash Dividends. The Company declared cash dividends of $0.20 and $0.17 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Qualitative Analysis. A significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results from timing differences in the maturity or repricing of our assets, liabilities and off balance sheet contracts (i.e., forward loan commitments), the effect of loan prepayments and deposit withdrawals, the difference in the behavior of lending and funding rates arising from the use of different indices and “yield curve risk” arising from changing rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities for constant or variable credit risk investments. In addition to directly affecting net interest income, changes in market interest rates can also affect the amount of new loan originations, the ability of borrowers to repay variable rate loans, the volume of loan prepayments and refinancings, the carrying value of investment securities classified as available-for-sale and the flow and mix of deposits.
The general objective of our interest rate risk management is to determine the appropriate level of risk given our business strategy and then manage that risk in a manner that is consistent with our policy to reduce, to the extent possible, the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which consists of certain members of senior management, evaluates the interest rate risk inherent in certain assets and liabilities, our operating
40

Table of Contents
environment and capital and liquidity requirements, and modifies our lending, investing and deposit gathering strategies accordingly. The Board of Directors then reviews the ALCO’s activities and strategies, the effect of those strategies on our net interest margin, and the effect that changes in market interest rates would have on the economic value of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the intrinsic value of our deposits and borrowings, and reports to the full Board of Directors.
We actively evaluate interest rate risk in connection with our lending, investing and deposit activities. In an effort to better manage interest rate risk, we have de-emphasized the origination of residential mortgage loans, and have increased our emphasis on the origination of nonresidential real estate loans, multi-family mortgage loans, commercial loans and commercial leases. In addition, depending on market interest rates and our capital and liquidity position, we generally sell all or a portion of our longer-term, fixed-rate residential loans, usually on a servicing-retained basis. Further, we primarily invest in shorter-duration securities, which generally have lower yields compared to longer-term investments. Shortening the average maturity of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term loans and securities, as well as loans with variable rates of interest, helps to better match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Finally, we have classified all of our investment portfolio as available-for-sale so as to provide flexibility in liquidity management.
We utilize a combination of analyses to monitor the Bank’s exposure to changes in interest rates. The economic value of equity analysis is a model that estimates the change in net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet contracts. In calculating changes in NPV, we assume estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates that seem most likely based on historical experience during prior interest rate changes.
Our net interest income analysis utilizes the data derived from the dynamic GAP analysis, described below, and applies several additional elements, including actual interest rate indices and margins, contractual limitations such as interest rate floors and caps and the U.S. Treasury yield curve as of the balance sheet date. In addition, we apply consistent parallel yield curve shifts (in both directions) to determine possible changes in net interest income if the theoretical yield curve shifts occurred instantaneously. Net interest income analysis also adjusts the dynamic GAP repricing analysis based on changes in prepayment rates resulting from the parallel yield curve shifts.
Our dynamic GAP analysis determines the relative balance between the repricing of assets and liabilities over multiple periods of time (ranging from overnight to five years). Dynamic GAP analysis includes expected cash flows from loans and mortgage-backed securities, applying prepayment rates based on the differential between the current interest rate and the market interest rate for each loan and security type. This analysis identifies mismatches in the timing of asset and liability repricing but does not necessarily provide an accurate indicator of interest rate risk because it omits the factors incorporated into the net interest income analysis.
Quantitative Analysis. The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2019, the estimated changes in the Bank’s NPV and net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous parallel shift in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

| Estimated Decrease in NPV |  | Increase (Decrease) in Estimated Net Interest Income
Change in Interest Rates (basis points) | Amount |  | Percent |  | Amount |  | Percent
| (Dollars in thousands)
+400 | $ | (25,409 | ) |  | (11.22 | )% |  | $ | 1,688 |  |  | 3.27 | %
+300 | (14,611 | ) |  | (6.45 | ) |  | 1,547 |  |  | 2.99 |
+200 | (6,607 | ) |  | (2.92 | ) |  | 1,281 |  |  | 2.48 |
+100 | (1,551 | ) |  | (0.68 | ) |  | 795 |  |  | 1.54 |
0 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
-100 | (2,878 | ) |  | (1.27 | ) |  | (582 | ) |  | (1.13 | )

The table set forth above indicates that at June 30, 2019, in the event of an immediate 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, the Bank would be expected to experience a 1.27% decrease in NPV and a $582,000 decrease in net interest income. In the event of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Bank would be expected to experience a 2.92% decrease in NPV and a $1.3 million increase in net interest income.

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