FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We may, from time to time, make written or oral “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), our reports to shareholders and in other communications by us.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, estimates with respect to our financial condition, results of operation and business that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates. These factors include, but are not limited to:


•	changes in the interest rate environment that reduce margins;

•	the highly competitive industry and market area in which we operate;


•	general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality;


•	changes in business conditions and inflation;


•	changes in credit market conditions;


•	changes in the securities markets which affect investment management revenues;


•	increases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) deposit insurance premiums and assessments, which could adversely affect our financial condition;

•	the effect on our operations of recent legislative and regulatory initiatives that were or may be enacted in response to the ongoing financial crisis;


•	severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other external events which could significantly impact our business;


•	the inability to realize expected cost savings or to implement integration plans and other adverse consequences associated with the Merger (as defined herein); and


•	other factors detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SB One Bancorp, formerly Sussex Bancorp, (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “company”) and our wholly owned subsidiary SB One Bank, formerly Sussex Bank (the “Bank”). The corporate name change was voted and approved during the shareholder meeting on April 25, 2018. The name changes were a part of a larger rebrand effort undertaken by Sussex Bank which merged with Community Bank of Bergen County, NJ earlier this year. The Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries are SCB Investment Company, Inc., SCBNY Company, Inc., ClassicLake Enterprises, LLC, PPD Holding Company, LLC, Community Investing Company, Inc., and SB One Insurance Agency Inc. ("SB One Insurance Agency"), formerly Tri-State Insurance Agency, Inc., a full service insurance agency located in Sussex County, New Jersey with a satellite office located in Bergen County, New Jersey. SB One Insurance Agency’s operations are considered a separate segment for financial disclosure purposes. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Bank operates fourteen banking offices: eight located in Sussex County, New Jersey, four located in Bergen County, New Jersey, one located in Warren County, New Jersey, and one in Queens County, New York.

We are subject to the supervision and regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”). The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the FDIC up to applicable limits. The operations of the company and the Bank are subject to the supervision and regulation of the FRB, the FDIC and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the “Department”) and the operations of SB One Insurance Agency are subject to supervision and regulation by the Department.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for full year financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 to amend its guidance on “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (Topic 606). The objective of the ASU is to align the recognition of revenue with the transfer of promised goods or services provided to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB issued an amendment (ASU 2015-14) which defers the effective date of this new guidance by one year. More detailed implementation guidance on Topic 606 was issued in March 2016 (ASU 2016-08), April 2016 (ASU 2016-10), May 2016 (ASU 2016-12), December 2016 (ASU 2016-20), February 2017 (ASU 2017-05) and September 2017 (ASU 2017-13), and the effective date and transition requirements for these ASUs are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09. The amendments in Topic 606 are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Approximately 82% of the Company’s revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, was comprised of interest income on financial assets, which are explicitly excluded from the scope of Topic 606. With respect to our non-interest income, management has identified revenue streams within the scope of the guidance, primarily service fees on deposits, ATM and debit card fees and insurance commissions and fees which are discussed below.

Topic 606 states that revenue should be recognized when the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring goods or services to the customer. An asset is considered transferred when the customer obtains control of the asset and is able to use and obtain substantially all of the benefits of the asset. The entity then has to determine whether the performance obligation was satisfied over time or at a point in time to determine when to recognize revenue. The Company determined based on the criteria presented in Topic 606 that the performance obligations were satisfied at a point in time since the customer obtains immediate control of the deposit accounts, ATM/Debit Card and insurance policy and there are no additional obligations that the Company performs over time; therefore, the revenue would be recognized as received.

The Company recognized $328 thousand in income for Service fees on deposit accounts and $1.9 million in insurance commissions and fees for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company currently presents the revenue and associated costs on a gross basis. ASU 2014-09 and related amendments were adopted effective January 1, 2018, using the cumulative effect approach. Under this alternative, the Company applied the new revenue standard only to contracts that were incomplete under legacy U.S. GAAP at the date of initial application and evaluated the cumulative effect of the new standard as a potential adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company`s adoption of the ASU on January 1, 2018 did not significantly change the recognition

of revenue on the Company's consolidated financial statements and, as such, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary.

Service fees on deposit accounts represent account analysis fees, monthly service fees, check ordering fees and other deposit related fees. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is completed, which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed.

Insurance commissions and fees represent insurance policies that our insurance agency, SB One Insurance Agency, arranges between the policy holder and the related insurance agency. SB One Insurance Agency acts solely as an insurance broker that provides the service of connection between a policy holder and carrier. SB One Insurance Agency’s performance obligation is satisfied once the policy becomes active therefore no other performance obligation is required. Revenues for the commissions to SB One Insurance Agency’s insurance contracts will generally be recognized as of the effective date of the insurance policy or the date on which the policy premium is processed into our systems, whichever is later. Commission revenues related to installment billings are recognized on the latter of effective or invoiced date. Subsequent commission adjustments are recognized upon our receipt of notification from insurance companies concerning matters necessitating such adjustments. Profit-sharing contingent commissions are recognized when determinable, which is generally when such commissions are received from insurance companies, or when we receive formal notification of the amount of such payments.

The Company recognized $213 thousand in ATM and debit card fees. ATM and debit card fees are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income (interchange fees), ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through our card payment network. The Company currently presents the revenue and associated costs with debit and credit card income on a net basis. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, agency fee income, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for fees and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or within one month.

Under Topic 606, a contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based on month-end market values. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

In connection with the adoption of Topic 606, an entity is required to capitalize, and subsequently amortize into expense, certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, sales commission). The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. Upon adoption of Topic 606, the Company did not capitalize any contract acquisition cost.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01, among other things, (i) requires equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (iii) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (iv) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (v) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (vi) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (vii) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale. In addition, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments using the exit price notion. Exit price is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability

in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has updated the fair value disclosure on Note 12 Fair Value of Financial Instruments in this report to reflect adoption of this standard, to include using the exit price notion in the fair value disclosure of financial instruments. The Company`s adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all public business entities upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company currently expects that upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities will be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet in amounts that will be material; however, there will be no material impact on operations.

In June, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (the “ASU”), which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The ASU will be effective for public business entities that are SEC filers in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All other entities will have one additional year. Early application of the guidance will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has taken steps to prepare for implementation when it becomes effective, such as evaluating the potential use of outside professionals for an updated model.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which addresses eight classification issues related to the statement of cash flows: (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of zero-coupon bonds, (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (vi) distributions received from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the ASU in an interim period, adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. Entities should apply this ASU using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable for an entity to apply the ASU retrospectively for some of the issues, it may apply the amendments for those issues prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company`s adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350). The main objective of this ASU is to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment by requiring impairment charges be based upon the first step in the current two-step impairment test under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350. Currently, if the fair value of a reporting unit is lower than its carrying amount (Step 1), an entity calculates any impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount (Step 2). This ASU’s objective is to simplify how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The standard will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (Subtopic 310-20). The update shortens the amortization period for premiums on purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The amendment will apply only to callable debt securities with explicit, noncontingent call features that are callable at fixed prices and on preset dates, apply to all premiums on callable debt securities, regardless of how they were generated, and require companies

to reset the effective yield using the payment terms of the debt security if the call option is not exercised on the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The discount continues to be amortized to maturity and does not apply when the investor has already incorporated prepayments into the calculation of its effective yield under other GAAP. The amendments in the ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company's adoption of the ASU will not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The objective of the ASU is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and to make improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The amendments in the ASU will, among other things, 1) permit hedge accounting for risk components in hedging relationships involving nonfinancial risk and interest rate risks; 2) change the guidance for designating fair value hedges of interest rate risk and for measuring the change in fair value of the hedged item in fair value hedges of interest rate risk; 3) modify disclosures to include a tabular disclosure related to the effect on the income statement of fair value and cash flow hedges; and 4) eliminate the requirement to disclose the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of hedging instruments. These changes will more closely align the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with risk management activities and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. ASU 2017-12 will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the update with all transition requirements and elections being applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption. The Company's adoption of the ASU will not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS

On January 4, 2018 the Company announced the successful closing of the merger with Community Bank of Bergen County, NJ, a New Jersey-chartered bank (“Community”) in an all-stock transaction (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the agreement, Community merged with and into SB One Bank, with SB One Bank being the surviving entity and each outstanding share of Community common stock was exchanged for 0.97 shares of SB One Bancorp's common stock. The Company issued 1,873,028 shares of its common stock, having an aggregate fair value of $51.9 million in the merger and paid approximately $2 thousand in cash for fractional shares. Outstanding Community stock options were paid out in cash for a total payment of $140 thousand.

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management's best estimate using information available at the date of the acquisition, including the use of a third party valuation specialist. The following table summarized the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for Community.



(Dollars in thousands)	January 4, 2018

Cash and cash equivalents	$	6,693
Interest bearing time deposits with other banks	100

Borrowings	(12,000		)
Other liabilities	(599		)
Total Liabilities	$	(313,756	)
Net assets acquired	$	51,883

The Core deposit intangible totaled $1.3 million and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 10 years using an accelerated method. The goodwill will be evaluated annually for impairment. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The fair values of deposit liabilities with no stated maturities such as checking, money market and savings accounts, were assumed to equal the carrying amounts since these deposits are payable on demand. The fair values of certificates of deposits and IRAs represent the present value of contractual cash flows discounted at market rates for similar certificates of deposit.

Fair values of the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined as follows:

Investment securities available-for-sale

The estimated fair values of the investment securities available for sale, primarily comprised of U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government agencies and municipal bonds, were determined using open market pricing provided by multiple independent securities brokers. Management reviewed the open market quotes used in pricing the securities. A fair value discount of $261,000 was recorded on the investments.

Loans

Loans acquired in the Community acquisition were recorded at fair value, and there was no carryover related allowance for loan and lease losses. The fair values of loans acquired from Community were estimated using cash flow projections based on the remaining maturity and repricing terms. Cash flows were adjusted for estimated future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected cash flows were then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans. The fair value of the acquired loans receivable had a gross amortized cost basis of $242,471,000. The table below illustrates the fair value adjustments made to the amortized cost basis in order to present a fair value of the loans acquired. The credit adjustment on purchased credit impaired loans is derived in accordance with ASC 310-30 and represents the portion of the loan balances that has been deemed uncollectible based on the Company’s expectations of future cash flows for each respective loan.

Credit fair value adjustment on purchased credit impaired loans	(2,664		)
Fair value of acquired loans at January 4, 2018	$	236,070

For loans acquired without evidence of credit quality deterioration, the Company prepared the interest rate loan fair value and credit fair value adjustments. Loans were grouped into general pools by characteristics such as loan type, term, collateral and rate. Market rates for similar loans were obtained from various internal and external data sources and reviewed by management for reasonableness. The average of these rates was used as the fair value interest rate a market participant would utilize. A present value approach was utilized to calculate the interest rate fair value premium of $324,000.

Additionally for loans acquired without credit deterioration, a credit fair value adjustment was calculated using a two-part credit fair value analysis: 1) expected lifetime credit migration losses; and 2) estimated fair value adjustment for certain qualitative factors. The expected lifetime losses were calculated using historical losses observed at the Bank, Community and peer banks. The Company also estimated an environmental factor to apply to each loan type. The environmental factor represents potential discount which may arise due to general credit and economic factors. A credit fair value discount of $4.1 million was determined. Both the interest rate and credit fair value adjustments relate to loans acquired with evidence of credit quality deterioration will be substantially recognized as interest income on a level yield amortization method over the expected life of the loans.

The following is a summary of the loans accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 that were acquired in the Community acquisition as of the closing date.



(Dollars in thousands)	Acquired Credit Impaired Loans
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition	$	6,289
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (non-accretable difference)	1,819
Expected cash flows at acquisition	4,470
Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable difference)	846
Fair value of acquired loans	$	3,624

Bank Premises

The Company acquired three branches of Community, all of which were owned by Community. The fair value of Community’s premises was determined based upon independent third-party appraisals performed by licensed appraisers in the market in which the premises are located.

Core Deposit Intangible

The fair value of the core deposit intangible was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate commensurate with market participants. To calculate cash flows, deposit account servicing costs (net of deposit fee income) and interest expense on deposits were compared to the cost of alternative funding sources available through national brokered CD offering rates. The projected cash flows were developed using projected deposit attrition rates. The core deposit intangible will be amortized over ten years using the sum-of-years digits method.

Time Deposits

The fair value adjustment for time deposits represents a discount from the value of the contractual repayments of fixed-maturity deposits using prevailing market interest rates for similar-term time deposits. The time deposit discount of approximately $964,500 is being amortized into income on a level yield amortization method over the contractual life of the deposits.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Community's bank-owned life insurance book value was $8.0 million with no fair value adjustment.

The following table presents certain pro forma information as if Community had been acquired on January 1, 2017. These results combine the historical results of the Company in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2017. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of Community’s provision for loan losses that would not have been necessary had the acquired loans been recorded at fair value as of January 1, 2017. The Corporation expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts below:

For each security whose fair value is less than its amortized cost basis, a review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. As of March 31, 2018, we reviewed our available for sale securities portfolio for indications of impairment. This review included analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value was lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and likelihood of selling the security. The intent and likelihood of sale of debt and equity securities are evaluated based upon our investment strategy for the particular type of security and our cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position.

U.S. Government Agencies

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the declines in fair value and the unrealized losses for our U.S. government agencies securities were primarily due to changes in spreads and market conditions and not credit quality. At March 31, 2018, there were twelve securities with a fair value of $17.0 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $89 thousand. As of March 31,

2018, we did not intend to sell and it was not more-likely-than-not that we would be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Therefore, none of the U.S. government agency securities at March 31, 2018 were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”).

At December 31, 2017, there were three securities with a fair value of $5.3 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $28 thousand.

U.S. Government Sponsored Agencies

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the decline in fair value and the unrealized losses for our U.S. government sponsored agencies securities were primarily due to changes in spreads and market conditions and not credit quality. At March 31, 2018, there were five securities with a fair value of $11.0 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $54 thousand. As of March 31, 2018, we did not intend to sell and it was not more-likely-than-not that we would be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Therefore, none of the U.S. government sponsored agency securities at March 31, 2018, were deemed to be OTTI.

At December 31, 2017, there were two securities with a fair value of $3.5 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $1 thousand.

State and Political Subdivisions

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the decline in fair value and the unrealized losses for our state and political subdivisions securities were caused by changes in interest rates and spreads and were not the result of credit quality. At March 31, 2018, there were twenty-nine securities with a fair value of $31.6 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $761 thousand. These securities typically have maturity dates greater than 10 years and the fair values are more sensitive to changes in market interest rates.

At December 31, 2017, there were nine securities with a fair value of $8.9 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $132 thousand.

Mortgage-Backed Securities

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the decline in fair value and the unrealized losses for our mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises were primarily due to changes in spreads and market conditions and not credit quality. At March 31, 2018, there were thirty-six securities with a fair value of $58.4 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $1.3 million. As of March 31, 2018, we did not intend to sell and it was not more-likely-than-not that we would be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Therefore, none of our mortgage-backed securities at March 31, 2018 were deemed to be OTTI.

At December 31, 2017, there were sixteen securities with a fair value of $21.3 million that had an unrealized loss that amounted to $479 thousand.

Corporate Debt

At March 31, 2018, there were no securities that had an unrealized loss. These securities typically have maturity dates greater than 5 years and the fair values are more sensitive to changes in market interest rates. As of March 31, 2018, we did not intend to sell and it was more-likely-than-no that we would be required to sell any of these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Therefore, none of our corporate debt as March 31, 2018, were deemed to be OTTI.

At December 31, 2017, there were no securities with an unrealized loss.

Held to Maturity Securities

The amortized cost and approximate fair value of securities held to maturity as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are summarized as follows:

Temporarily Impaired Securities

For each security whose fair value is less than its amortized cost basis, a review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. As of March 31, 2018, there was one security with a fair value of $253 thousand that had an unrealized loss of $1 thousand. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and likelihood of selling the security. The intent and likelihood of sale of debt securities is evaluated based upon our investment strategy for the particular type of security and our cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. For each security whose fair value is less than their amortized cost basis, a review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.

At December 31, 2017, there was one security with a fair value of $254 thousand that had an unrealized loss of $1 thousand.

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying balance sheets. The total amount of loans serviced for the benefit of others was approximately $237 thousand and $239 thousand at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

The carrying value of loans acquired in the Community acquisition and accounted for in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality,” was $3.7 million at March 31, 2018, which was $44 thousand more than the balance at the time of acquisition on January 4, 2018. Under ASC Subtopic 310-30, these loans, referred to as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans, may be aggregated and accounted for as pools of loans if the loans being aggregated have common risk characteristics. The Company elected to account for the loans with evidence of credit deterioration individually rather than aggregate them into pools. The difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition and the investment in the acquired loans, or the “accretable yield,” is recognized as interest income utilizing the level-yield method over the life of each loan. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the “non-accretable difference,” are not recognized as a yield adjustment, as a loss accrual or as a valuation allowance.

Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the yield on the loans over the remaining life, while decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments through a loss provision and an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses. Valuation allowances (recognized in the allowance for loan and lease losses) on these impaired loans reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (representing all cash flows that were expected at acquisition but currently are not expected to be received).

The following table presents changes in the accretable yield for PCI loans:

In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, we estimate losses based on the identification of specific problem loans through our credit review process and also estimate losses inherent in other loans on an aggregate basis by loan type. The credit review process includes the independent evaluation of the loan officer assigned risk ratings by the Chief Credit Officer and a third party loan review company. Such risk ratings are assigned loss component factors that reflect our loss estimate for each group of loans. It is management’s and the Board of Directors’ responsibility to oversee the lending process to ensure that all credit risks are properly identified, monitored, and controlled, and that loan pricing, terms and other safeguards against non-performance and default are commensurate with the level of risk undertaken and is rated as such based on a risk-rating system. Factors considered in assigning risk ratings and loss component factors include: borrower specific information related to expected future cash flows and operating results, collateral values, financial condition and payment status; levels of and trends in portfolio charge-offs and recoveries; levels in portfolio delinquencies; effects of changes in loan concentrations and observed trends in the economy and other qualitative measurements.

Our risk-rating system is consistent with the classification system used by regulatory agencies and with industry practices. Loan classifications of Substandard, Doubtful or Loss are consistent with the regulatory definitions of classified assets. The classification system is as follows:


•	Pass: This category represents loans performing to contractual terms and conditions and the primary source of repayment is adequate to meet the obligation. We have five categories within the Pass classification depending on strength of repayment sources, collateral values and financial condition of the borrower.


•	Special Mention: This category represents loans performing to contractual terms and conditions; however the primary source of repayment or the borrower is exhibiting some deterioration or weaknesses in financial condition that could potentially threaten the borrowers’ future ability to repay our loan principal and interest or fees due.

•

Substandard: This category represents loans that the primary source of repayment has significantly deteriorated or weakened which has or could threaten the borrowers’ ability to make scheduled payments. The weaknesses require close supervision by management and there is a distinct possibility that we could sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Such weaknesses could jeopardize the timely and ultimate collection of our loan principal and interest or fees due. Loss may not be expected or evident, however, loan repayment is inadequately supported by current financial information or pledged collateral.

•

Doubtful: Loans so classified have all the inherent weaknesses of a substandard loan with the added provision that collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable and not reasonably assured. The probability of at least partial loss is high, but extraneous factors might strengthen the asset to prevent loss. The validity of the extraneous factors must be continuously monitored. Once these factors are questionable the loan should be considered for full or partial charge-off.


•	Loss: Loans so classified are considered uncollectible, and of such little value that their continuance as active assets is not warranted. Such loans are fully charged off.

The following tables illustrate our corporate credit risk profile by creditworthiness category as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017: ໿

We recognize interest income on performing impaired loans as payments are received. On non-performing impaired loans we do not recognize interest income as all payments are recorded as a reduction of principal on such loans.

Impaired loans include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, postponement or forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection. The concessions rarely

result in the forgiveness of principal or accrued interest. In addition, we attempt to obtain additional collateral or guarantor support when modifying such loans. Non-accruing restructured loans may be returned to accrual status when there has been a sustained period of repayment performance (generally six consecutive months of payments) and both principal and interest are deemed collectible.

The following table presents the recorded investment in troubled debt restructured loans, based on payment performance status:



(Dollars in thousands)	Commercial Real Estate		Residential Real Estate		Total

Performing	$	656	$	1,477	$	2,133

Troubled debt restructured loans are considered impaired and are included in the previous impaired loans disclosures in this footnote. As of March 31, 2018, we have not committed to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructuring.

There was no troubled debt restructuring that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. The increase in troubled debt restructured loans was due to loans acquired in the Community acquisition.

There was one troubled debt restructuring with an outstanding balance of $127 thousand for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the date of the restructuring for the three months ended March 31, 2018. There was no troubled debt restructuring for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the date of the restructuring for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

We may obtain physical possession of residential real estate collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan via foreclosure on an in-substance repossession. As of March 31, 2018, we had five foreclosed residential real estate properties with a carrying value of $1.3 million. As of December 31, 2017, we had one foreclosed residential real estate property with a carrying value of $179 thousand. In addition, as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, we had consumer loans with a carrying value of $1.2 million and $180 thousand collateralized by residential real estate property for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process. The increases in amounts at March 31, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017, were due to loans acquired in the Community acquisition.

NOTE 6 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares (unvested restricted stock grants and stock options) had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance of potential common shares that may be issued by us. Potential common shares related to stock options are determined using the treasury stock method.

໿

There were 20,170 and 46,753 shares of unvested restricted stock awards and options outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 7 – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

The components of other comprehensive income, both before tax and net of tax, are as follows:

NOTE 8 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

The Company had goodwill of $24.8 million and $2.8 million for the periods ended March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The increase was due to the merger with Community Bank with total goodwill amounting to $22.0 million. The Company reviews its goodwill and intangible assets annually, on September 30, or more frequently if conditions warrant, for impairment. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company compares the estimated fair value of its reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill.

The Company recorded a core deposit intangible of $1.3 million for the Community Bank acquisition. For the period ended March 31, 2018, the Company amortized $61 thousand in core deposit intangible. The estimated future amortization expense for the remainder of 2018 and for each of the succeeding five years ended December 31 is as follows (dollars in thousands):



For the Year Ended	Amortization Expense
2018	$	182
2019	217
2020	194

NOTE 10 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We currently have stock-based compensation plans in place for our directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors. Under the terms of these plans we may grant restricted shares and stock options for the purchase of our common stock. The stock-based compensation is granted under terms determined by our Compensation Committee. Our standard stock option grants have a maximum term of 10 years, generally vest over periods ranging between one and five years, and are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock is valued at the market value of the common stock on the date of grant and generally vests over periods of three to five years. All dividends paid on restricted stock, whether vested or unvested, are paid to the shareholder.

Information regarding our stock option plans for the six months ended March 31, 2018 is as follows:



	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share		Weighted Average Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Options outstanding, beginning of year	69,123	$	11.10
Options outstanding, end of quarter	69,123	$	11.10	7.1	$	1,334,151
Options exercisable, end of quarter	36,229	$	10.85	7.0	$	708,336
Option price range at end of quarter	$9.97 to $12.83
Option price of exercisable shares	$9.97 to $12.83

໿

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we expensed $12 thousand and $12 thousand, respectively, in stock-based compensation under stock option awards.

There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Expected future expense relating to the unvested options outstanding as of March 31, 2018 is $104 thousand over a weighted average period of 2.1 years. Upon exercise of vested options, management expects to draw on treasury stock as the source of the shares.

The summary of changes in unvested restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2018, is as follows:



	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested restricted stock, beginning of year	85,761		$	18.34
Granted	20,169		29.15
Forfeited	(4,148	)	17.66
Vested	(29,145	)	16.15
Unvested restricted stock, end of period	72,637		$	22.25

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we expensed $153 thousand and $153 thousand, respectively, in stock-based compensation under restricted stock awards.

At March 31, 2018, unrecognized compensation expense for unvested restricted stock was $1.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over an average period of 2.5 years.

NOTE 11 – GUARANTEES

We do not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Generally, we hold collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. As of March 31, 2018, we had $1.7 million of outstanding letters of credit. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The amount of the liability as of March 31, 2018, for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of our financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could have realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated. The fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period ends, and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period end.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use a hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:


•	Level I - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.


•	Level II - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these asset and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.


•	Level III - Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

The following table summarizes the fair value of our financial assets measured on a recurring basis by the above pricing observability levels as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of our assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between our disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Cash and Cash Equivalents (Carried at Cost): The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair value.

Deposits (Carried at Cost): Fair value for fixed-rate time certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. We generally purchase amounts below the insured limit, limiting the amount of credit risk on these time deposits.

Securities: The fair value of securities, available for sale (carried at fair value) and securities held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level I), or matrix pricing

(Level II), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level III). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock (Carried at Cost): The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value and considers the limited marketability of such securities.

Loans Receivable (Carried at Cost): The Company has adopted ASU 2016-01, and therefore is measuring the fair value of loans receivable under the exit price notion rather than the previous method of entry price notion. Under the entry price notion, the fair value estimate of loans receivable was based on discounted cash flow. At March 31, 2018, the exit price notion used to estimate the fair value of loans receivable was based on similar techniques, with the addition of current origination spreads, liquidity premiums, or credit adjustments.

Impaired Loans (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value): Fair value of impaired loans is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included in Level III fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value of impaired loans totaled $111 thousand and $1.8 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. These balances consist of loans that were written down or required additional reserves during the periods ended March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

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

Borrowings (Carried at Cost): Fair values of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.

Derivatives (Carried at Fair Value): The Company also uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, and which satisfy hedge accounting requirements, involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. These derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash outflows associated with FHLB borrowings along with our junior subordinated debenture at U.S. Capital Trust. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of these derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

The fair value of the Company`s derivatives are determined using discounted cash flow analysis using observable market-based inputs, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

Subordinated Debentures (Carried at Cost): Fair values of subordinated debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on market rates currently offered on such debt with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable (Carried at Cost): The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate its fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments (Disclosed at Cost): Fair values for our off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

The fair values of our financial instruments at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, were as follows:

NOTE 13 – DERIVATIVES

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash outflows associated with four FHLB borrowings totaling $26.0 million. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge its $12.5 million variable rate (3 Mo Libor +1.44%) junior subordinated debt issued by Sussex Capital Trust II, a non-consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, for 10 years at a fixed rate of 3.10%. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives are recognized directly in earnings. The Company implemented this program during the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not record any hedge ineffectiveness.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

We are a community-oriented financial institution serving northern New Jersey, northeastern Pennsylvania, New York City, New York and Queens County, New York. While offering traditional community bank loan and deposit products and services, we obtain non-interest income through our insurance brokerage operations and the sale of non-deposit products.

We continue to focus on strengthening our core operating performance by improving our net interest income and margin by closely monitoring our yield on earning assets and adjusting the rates offered on deposit products. We have been focused on building for the future and strengthening our core operating results within our risk management framework.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Critical accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and procedures, and are particularly susceptible to significant change. 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. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2018. For additional information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

COMPARISION OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018 AND 2017

Overview – For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company reported net income of $1.3 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $2.0 million, or $0.43 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. The decrease in net income was mainly attributable to merger-related costs associated with the merger of Community Bank of Bergen County (“Community Bank”), NJ with and into the Bank, partially offset by an increase in net income due to the addition of Community Bank’s operations following the merger. As of January 4, 2018, Community Bank had total assets, loans and deposits of $343.8 million, $236.1 million and $301.2 million, respectively. The first quarter of 2018 included the independent operations and expenses of both, the Company and Community Bank, until March 26, 2018 when the Company completed all systems integrations and are now operating under one company platform.

The Company’s net income, adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses of $2.4 million, increased $1.7 million, or 82.8%, to $3.7 million, or $0.47 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period last year. The Company’s return on average assets, adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses of $2.4 million, for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, was 1.10%, an increase from 0.94% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Comparative Average Balances and Average Interest Rates – The following table presents, on a fully tax equivalent basis, a summary of our interest-earning assets and their average yields, and interest-bearing liabilities and their average costs for the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:

(5) Represents the difference between interest earned and interest paid, divided by average total interest-earning assets.

Net Interest Income – Net interest income is the difference between interest and deferred fees earned on loans and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is directly affected by changes in volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that support those assets, as well as changing interest rates when differences exist in repricing dates of assets and liabilities.

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $4.1 million, or 58.7%, to $11.0 million for the first quarter of 2018, as compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 2017. The increase in net interest income was largely due to a $426.9 million, or 51.7%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable, which increased $361.9 million, or 51.6%. The net interest margin increased by sixteen basis points to 3.55% for the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. These increases were largely attributable to the merger with Community.

Interest Income – Our total interest income, on a fully tax equivalent basis, increased $4.8 million, or 57.2%, to $13.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher average earning assets, which increased $426.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. The average yield increased fifteen basis points to 4.29% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, as compared to 4.14% for the same period last year.

Our total interest income earned on loans receivable increased $4.3 million, or 56.6%, to $11.9 million for the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in average balance of loans receivable of $361.9 million, or 51.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period last year. The average yield increased fifteen basis points to 4.54% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, as compared to 4.39% for the same period last year. The increases in average yield was largely driven by purchase accounting accretion resulting from the merger with Community.

Our total interest income earned on securities, on a fully tax equivalent basis, increased $500 thousand, to $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 from $811 thousand for the same period in 2017. The increase in interest income earned on securities was mainly due to a 59.5% increase on the average balance. The average yield for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 increased five basis points to 3.03% as compared to the same period in 2017.

Other interest-earning assets include federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits in other banks. Our interest earned on total other interest-earning assets increased $14 thousand to $30 thousand for the first quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period last year. The average balances in other interest-earning assets decreased $543 thousand to $12.4 million in the first quarter of 2018 from $12.9 million during the first quarter a year earlier. Despite the decline in average balance, interest income increased to $30 thousand for the first quarter of 2018 due to a 48 basis point increase in the average yield to 0.98% as compared to 0.50% in the same period in 2017 which was mainly driven by the deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank and Wilmington Trust.

Interest Expense – Our interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased $760 thousand, or 50.0%, to $2.3 million from $1.5 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was principally due to higher average balances in interest-bearing liabilities, which increased $313.7 million, or 46.9%, to $983.0 million for the first quarter of 2018 from $669.2 million for the same period in 2017. The average rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 increased two basis points to 0.94% as compared to 0.92% for the same period last year.

Our interest expense on deposits increased $741 thousand, or 103.3%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was largely attributed to the increase in the average balance of total interest bearing deposits, which increased $287.8 million during the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. The average rate increased eighteen basis points to 0.70% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, as compared to 0.52% for the same period last year.

Our interest expense on borrowed funds increased $25 thousand, or 5.2%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was largely attributed to a $26.0 million increase in the average balance of borrowed funds during the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was partially offset by a 44 basis point decrease in the average rate to 1.83% as compared to 2.27% in the same period in 2017.

Our interest expense on all of the Company`s subordinated debt decreased $6 thousand, or 1.9%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period last year. The decrease was mainly attributed to a nine basis points decrease in average rate to 4.59% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, as compared to 4.68% for the same period last year.

Provision for Loan Losses – Provision for loan losses increased $101 thousand to $508 thousand for the first quarter of 2018, as compared to $407 thousand for the same period in 2017. The provision for loan losses reflects management’s judgment concerning the risks inherent in our existing loan portfolio and the size of the allowance necessary to absorb the risks, as well as the activity in the allowance during the periods. Management reviews the adequacy of its allowance on an ongoing basis and will provide additional provisions, as management may deem necessary.

Non-Interest Income – Our non-interest income increased $380 thousand, or 15.3%, to $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was principally due to growth of $148 thousand in insurance commissions and fees relating to SB One Insurance Agency, an increase of $133 thousand in other income and an increase of $79 thousand in bank owned life insurance. The aforementioned was partly offset by a reduction in gain on sales of securities of approximately $107 thousand.

Non-Interest Expense – Our non-interest expenses increased $5.6 million, or 94.0%, to $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was largely due to merger-related expenses of $3.3 million related to the acquisition of Community and increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1.5 million as a result of the merger with Community.

Income Taxes – Our income tax expense, which includes both federal and state tax expenses, decreased $616 thousand, or 74.1% to $215 thousand for the first quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period last year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2018 was 14.1%, as compared to 29.2% for the first quarter of 2017. The decrease in the Company’s tax rate was largely due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017 which reduced the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% and the merger with Community which resulted in the Company’s tax free income becoming a larger percentage of its overall income.

COMPARISION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 2018 TO DECEMBER 31, 2017

Total Assets – At March 31, 2018, our total assets were $1.4 billion, an increase of $397.1 million, or 40.6%, as compared to total assets of $979.4 million at December 31, 2017. The increase was largely attributable to the merger with Community.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $3.4 million to $15.1 million at March 31, 2018, or 1.1% of total assets, from $11.6 million, or 1.2% of total assets, at December 31, 2017

Securities Portfolio – At March 31, 2018, the securities portfolio, which includes available for sale and held to maturity securities, was $179.6 million, compared to $104.0 million at December 31, 2017. Available for sale securities were $174.1 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $98.7 million at December 31, 2017. The available for sale securities are held primarily for liquidity, interest rate risk management and profitability. Accordingly, our investment policy is to invest in securities with low credit risk, such as U.S. government agency obligations, state and political obligations and mortgage-backed securities. Held to maturity securities were $5.5 million at March 31, 2018 and $5.3 million at December 31, 2017.

Net unrealized losses in the available for sale securities portfolio were $1.7 million for March 31, 2018 as compared to a net unrealized gain of $449 thousand at December 31, 2017.

We conduct a regular assessment of our investment securities to determine whether any securities are OTTI. Further detail of the composition of the securities portfolio and discussion of the results of the most recent OTTI assessment are in Note 3 – Securities to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The unrealized losses in our securities portfolio are mostly driven by changes in spreads and market interest rates. All of our securities in an unrealized loss position have been evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment as of March 31, 2018 and we do not consider any security OTTI. We evaluated the prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and the duration of the unrealized losses. In addition, we do not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell, any of our securities before recovery of their cost basis.

Other investments, which consisted primarily of FHLB stock, increased $3.4 million to $8.4 million at March 31, 2018 as compared to $4.9 million at December 31, 2017. We also held $200 thousand in time deposits with other financial institutions at March 31, 2018, as compared to $100 thousand at December 31, 2017.

Loans – The loan portfolio comprises our largest class of earning assets. Total loans receivable, net of unearned income, increased $267.7 million, or 32.6%, to $1.1 billion at March 31, 2018, as compared to $820.7 million at December 31, 2017. The merger with Community resulted in an increase in total loans of $236.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company also had $33.1 million of commercial loan production, which was partly offset by $12.6 million in commercial loan payoffs.

The following table summarizes the composition of our gross loan portfolio by type:

໿



(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2018		December 31, 2017
Commercial and industrial loans	$	57,041	$	54,759
Construction	57,475		42,484
Commercial real estate	655,238		551,445
Residential real estate	317,440		171,844
Consumer and other	2,228		1,130
Total gross loans	$	1,089,422	$	821,662

Loan and Asset Quality – The ratio of non-performing assets (“NPAs”), which include non-accrual loans, loans 90 days past due and still accruing, troubled debt restructured loans currently performing in accordance with renegotiated terms and foreclosed real estate, to total assets increased to 1.07% at March 31, 2018 from 0.94% December 31, 2017. NPAs exclude $3.7 million of purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) loans acquired through the merger with Community. NPAs increased $5.5 million, or 60.1%, to $14.8 million at March 31, 2018, as compared to $9.2 million at December 31, 2017. Non-accrual loans, excluding $3.7 million of PCI loans, increased $3.1 million, or 51.1%, to $9.1 million at March 31, 2018, as compared to $6.0 million at December 31, 2017. Loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $13.6 million at March 31, 2018, representing an increase of $7.1 million, or 109.3%, as compared to $6.5 million at December 31, 2017.

We continue to actively market our foreclosed real estate properties, which increased $1.3 million to $3.5 million at March 31, 2018 as compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2017. At March 31, 2018, the Company’s foreclosed real estate properties had an average carrying value of approximately $253 thousand per property.

The allowance for loan losses increased $493 thousand, or 6.7%, to $7.8 million, or 0.72% of total loans, at March 31, 2018, compared to $7.3 million, or 0.89% of total loans, at December 31, 2017. The decline in allowance coverage was primarily driven by the addition of Community acquired loans with no allowance for loan losses; such loans were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. The Company recorded $508 thousand in provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $407 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Additionally, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $15 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to $306 thousand in net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans decreased to 86.1% at March 31, 2018 from 121.8% at December 31, 2017.

Management continues to monitor our asset quality and believes that the NPAs are adequately collateralized and anticipated material losses have been adequately reserved for in the allowance for loan losses. However, given the uncertainty of the current real estate market, additional provisions for losses may be deemed necessary in future periods. The following table provides information regarding risk elements in the loan portfolio at each of the periods presented:

໿



(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2018			December 31, 2017
Non-accrual loans	$	9,096		$	6,020
Non-accrual loans to total loans	0.84		%	0.73		%
NPAs	$	14,755		$	9,227
NPAs to total assets	1.07		%	0.94		%
Allowance for loan losses as a % of non-accrual loans	86.06		%	121.84		%
Allowance for loan losses to total loans	0.72		%	0.89		%

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance, when based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Total impaired loans were $8.0 million and $6.8 million at March 31. 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Company also had PCI loans from the merger with Community with a carrying value of $5.8 million at March, 31 2018. Impaired loans include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection. Not all impaired loans and restructured loans are on non-accrual, and therefore not all are considered non-performing loans. Restructured loans still accruing totaled $2.1 million and $932 thousand at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

We also continue to monitor our portfolio for potential problem loans. Potential problem loans are defined as loans which cause management to have serious concerns as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may cause the loan to be placed on non-accrual status. As of March 31, 2018, we had two loan relationship comprised of three loans totaling $9.1 million that we deemed potential problem loans. Management is actively monitoring these loans.

Further detail of the credit quality of the loan portfolio is included in Note 5 – Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Quality of Financing Receivables to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses consists of general, allocated and unallocated components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical charge-off experience and expected losses derived from our internal risk rating process. The unallocated component covers the potential for other adjustments that may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

Management regularly assesses the appropriateness and adequacy of the loan loss reserve in relation to credit exposure associated with individual borrowers, overall trends in the loan portfolio and other relevant factors, and believes the reserve is reasonable and adequate for each of the periods presented.

At March 31, 2018, the total allowance for loan losses increased $493 thousand, or 6.7%, to $7.8 million, or 0.72% of total loans, compared to $7.3 million, or 0.89% of total loans, at December 31, 2017. The decline in allowance coverage was primarily driven by the addition of Community acquired loans with no allowance for loan losses; such loans were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. The Company recorded $508 thousand in provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $407 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Additionally, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $15 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to $306 thousand in net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans decreased to 86.1% at March 31, 2018 from 121.8% at December 31, 2017.

The table below presents information regarding our provision and allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:

The table below presents details concerning the allocation of the allowance for loan losses to the various categories for each of the periods presented. The allocation is made for analytical purposes and it is not necessarily indicative of the categories in which future credit losses may occur. The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any category of loans.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) – Our BOLI carrying value amounted to $30.2 million at March 31, 2018 and $22.1 million at December 31, 2017. The increase of $8.1 million is largely due to the merger with Community.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles – Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired. At March 31, 2018 we had recorded goodwill totaling $24.8 million as compared to $2.8 million at December 31, 2017. The increase in our goodwill primarily resulted from the merger with Community in the recorded amount of $22.0 million. Additionally, our recorded goodwill includes the acquisition of Tri-State in 2001 and the 2006 acquisition of deposits. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, goodwill is not amortized, but evaluated at least annually for impairment. Any impairment of goodwill results in a charge to income. We periodically assess whether events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of goodwill and intangible assets may be impaired. The estimated fair value of the reporting segment exceeded its book value; therefore, no write-down of goodwill was required. The goodwill related to the insurance agency is not deductible for tax purposes.

Deposits – Our total deposits increased $280.8 million, or 36.8%, to $1.0 billion at March 31, 2018, from $762.5 million at December 31, 2017, primarily driven by the merger with Community. The growth in deposits was mostly due to an increase in interest bearing deposits of $208.6 million, or 33.8%, and non-interest bearing deposits of $72.3 million, or 49.4%, at March 31, 2018, as compared to December 31, 2017, respectively.

Borrowings – Our borrowings consist of short-term and long-term advances from the FHLB. The advances are secured under terms of a blanket collateral agreement by a pledge of qualifying mortgage loans. We had $155.0 million and $90.4 million in borrowings at FHLB, at a weighted average interest rate of 1.95% and 1.61% at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The long-term borrowings at March 31, 2018 consisted of $25.0 million of fixed rate advances and $5.0 million of advances with quarterly convertible puts that allow us to put the advance back to the FHLB quarterly after one year from issuance. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swap agreements related to four of its FHLB borrowings. Please refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources – Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

Subordinated Debentures – On June 28, 2007, Sussex Capital Trust II (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory business trust and our non-consolidated wholly owned subsidiary, issued $12.5 million of variable rate capital trust pass-through securities to investors. The Trust purchased $12.9 million of variable rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures from us. The debentures are the sole asset of the Trust. The terms of the junior subordinated debentures are the same as the terms of the capital securities. We have also fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of the Trust under the capital securities. The interest rate is based on the three-month LIBOR plus 144 basis points and adjusts quarterly. The rate at March 31, 2018 was 3.56%. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement related to the junior subordinated debentures where the Company pays a fixed rate of 3.10% and receives the three-month LIBOR plus 144 basis points. Please refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources – Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. The capital securities are currently redeemable by us at par in whole or in part. The capital securities must be redeemed upon final maturity of the subordinated debentures on September 15, 2037. The proceeds of these trust preferred securities, which have been contributed to the Bank, are included in the Bank’s capital ratio calculations and treated as Tier I capital. During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company completed the private placement of the subordinated notes. The subordinated notes have a maturity date of December 22, 2026 and bear interest at the rate of 5.75% per annum, payable quarterly, for the first five years of the term, and then at a variable rate that will reset quarterly to a level equal to the then current 3-month LIBOR plus 350 basis points over the remainder of the term.

In accordance with FASB ASC 810, Consolidations, our wholly owned subsidiary, the Trust, is not included in our consolidated financial statements.

Equity – Stockholders’ equity, inclusive of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income taxes, was $146.3 million, an increase of $52.1 million when compared to December 31, 2017, largely due to the merger with Community. The Company completed the merger on January 4, 2018 which was the primary driver in an increase in book value per common share of 18.2% from $15.59 at December 31, 2017 to $18.43 at March 31, 2018. At March 31, 2018, the leverage, Tier I risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and common equity Tier I capital ratios for the Bank were 10.90%, 13.58%, 14.33% and 13.58%, respectively, all in excess of the ratios required to be deemed “well-capitalized.”

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

A fundamental component of our business strategy is to manage liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient resources to meet all financial obligations and to finance prospective business opportunities. Liquidity management is critical to our stability. Our liquidity position over any given period of time is a product of our operating, financing and investing activities. The extent of such activities is often shaped by such external factors as competition for deposits and loan demand.

Traditionally, financing for our loans and investments is derived primarily from deposits, along with interest and principal payments on loans and investments. At March 31, 2018, total deposits amounted to $1.0 billion, an increase of $280.8 million, or 36.8%, from December 31, 2017. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, borrowings from FHLB and subordinated debentures totaled $182.9 million and $118.2 million, respectively, and represented 13.3% and 12.1% of total assets, respectively.

Loan production continued to be our principal investing activity. Total loans receivable, net of unearned income, at March 31, 2018, amounted to $1.1 billion, an increase of $267.7 million, or 32.6%, compared to December 31, 2017.

Our most liquid assets are cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. At March 31, 2018, the total of such assets amounted to $15.1 million, or 1.1%, of total assets, compared to $11.6 million, or 1.2% of total assets at December 31, 2017. Another significant liquidity source is our available for sale securities portfolio. At March 31, 2018, available for sale securities amounted to $174.1 million, compared to $98.7 million at December 31, 2017.

In addition to the aforementioned sources of liquidity, we have available various other sources of liquidity, including federal funds purchased from other banks and the FRB discount window. The Bank also has the capacity to borrow an additional $119.8 million through its membership in the FHLB and $10.0 million at ACBB at March 31, 2018. Management believes that our sources of funds are sufficient to meet our present funding requirements.

In July 2013, the FRB, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) and the FDIC approved final rules (the “Capital Rules”) that established a new capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The Capital Rules generally implement the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s (the “Basel Committee”) December 2010 final capital framework referred to as “Basel III” for strengthening international capital standards. In addition, the Capital Rules implement certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, including the requirements of Section 939A to remove references to credit ratings from the federal banking agencies’ rules.

At March 31, 2018, the Bank’s Tier I, Total and Common Equity Tier I (“CET1”) capital ratios were 13.60%, 14.35% and 13.60%, respectively. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, the Bank’s regulators require that banks which meet the regulators’ highest performance and operational standards maintain a minimum leverage ratio (Tier I capital as a percentage of tangible assets) of 4.0%. As of March 31, 2018, the Bank had a leverage ratio of 10.90%. The Bank’s risk based and leverage ratios are in excess of those required to be considered “well-capitalized” under FDIC regulations.

The Capital Rules also requires a “capital conservation buffer,” composed entirely of CET1, on top of these minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the capital conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity and other capital instrument repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. Beginning January 1, 2016, the capital standards applicable to the Company will include an additional capital conservation buffer of 0.625%, increasing 0.625% each year thereafter. When fully phased-in on January 1, 2019, the Company will include an additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of CET1, effectively resulting in minimum ratios inclusive of the capital conservation buffer of (i) CET1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 7%, (ii) Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.5%, and (iii) total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10.5%. As of March 31, 2018, the Bank had a capital conservation buffer of 6.35%.

The Capital Rules substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries. The risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposures and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid, low-risk assets. The capital guidelines apply on a consolidated basis to bank holding companies

with consolidated assets of $1 billion or more, and to certain bank holding companies with less than $1 billion in assets if they are engaged in substantial non-banking activity or meet certain other criteria.

We have no investment or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital resources, except for the trust preferred securities of the Trust. We are not aware of any known trends or any known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties, which would result in any material increase or decrease in liquidity. Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – Our consolidated financial statements do not reflect off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business. These off-balance sheet arrangements consist of unfunded loans and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. At March 31, 2018, these unused commitments totaled $213.8 million and consisted of $109.1 million in commitments to grant commercial real estate, construction and land development loans, $38.9 million in home equity lines of credit, $64.1 million in other unused commitments and $1.7 million in letters of credit. These instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to us. Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $38.5 million, of which all are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company entered into $26.0 million in forward starting interest rate swap agreements coinciding with the maturity of five FHLB Advances over the next 21 months that had an average rate of 4.03%. The forward interest rate swaps have a term of 10 years at an average fixed rate of 1.97% and will hedge short term wholesale funding. Additionally, the Company entered into a $12.5 million interest rate swap agreement to coincide with a junior subordinated debt issued by Sussex Capital Trust II, for a term of 10 years at a fixed rate of 3.10%.
