Summary

OceanFirst Financial Corp. is the holding company for OceanFirst Bank (the “Bank”), a community bank headquartered in Ocean County, New Jersey, serving business and retail customers in the central New Jersey region. The term “Company” refers to OceanFirst Financial Corp., OceanFirst Bank and all of the Bank’s subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company also generates non-interest income such as income from bankcard services, wealth management, deposit accounts, the sale of investment products, loan originations, loan sales, and other fees. The Company’s operating expenses primarily consist of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, marketing, Federal deposit insurance, data processing and general and administrative expenses. The Company’s results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory agencies.

Interest-earning assets, both loans and securities, are generally priced against longer-term indices, while interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings, are generally priced against shorter-term indices. The Company has mitigated the adverse impact of low absolute levels of interest rates by growing commercial loans, resulting in a shift in asset mix from lower-yielding securities into higher-yielding loans. Based upon current economic conditions, characterized by moderate growth and low inflation, interest rates may remain at, or close to, historically low levels with increases in the Federal funds rate expected to be gradual. The continuation of the low interest rate environment may have an adverse impact on the Company’s net interest margin in future periods.

In addition to the interest rate environment, the Company’s results are affected by economic conditions. Recent economic indicators point to some improvement in the U.S. economy, which expanded moderately in 2015 and continues to show modest growth again in 2016. Labor market conditions improved as the national and local unemployment rates in the first quarter of 2016 both decreased compared to prior year levels, while measures of inflation remain subdued.

Highlights of the Company’s financial results and corporate activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were as follows:

On January 5, 2016, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which Cape Bancorp., Inc. (“Cape”) will merge with and into OceanFirst in a transaction valued at approximately $195 million. The transaction closed on May 2, 2016. Cape is one of southern New Jersey’s largest community banks with 22 full-service banking centers, five loan offices and approximately $1.6 billion in total assets, $1.2 billion in total loans, and $1.2 billion in total deposits. Additionally, on March 11, 2016 the Bank purchased an existing retail branch with total deposits of $17.0 million located in the Toms River market.

Total assets decreased to $2.588 billion at March 31, 2016, from $2.593 billion at December 31, 2015. Loans receivable, net increased $26.3 million at March 31, 2016, as compared to December 31, 2015. Commercial loans increased $23.6 million, an annualized growth rate of 9.8%. Deposits increased by $54.7 million at March 31, 2016, as compared to December 31, 2015, including a $23.9 million increase in business deposits.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $4.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $5.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the corresponding prior year period. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes non-recurring merger related expenses, net of tax benefit, of $1.2 million, which reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.07. Excluding the non-recurring merger related expenses, diluted earnings per share were equal to the prior year period as higher net interest income was offset by higher operating expenses and provision for loan losses and lower other income.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased to $20.6 million, as compared to $18.1 million for the corresponding prior year period reflecting an increase in interest-earning assets and a higher net interest margin.

Other income decreased to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $4.0 million in the same prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to higher net losses from other real estate operations of $427,000. The loss was predominately due to the seasonal operations of the hotel, golf and banquet facility acquired as other real estate owned in the fourth quarter of 2015. Operating expenses, excluding merger related expenses, increased $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the same prior year period primarily due to the operations of Colonial, the investment in commercial lending and the impact of opening new branches.

The Company remains well-capitalized with a tangible common equity ratio of 9.23% at March 31, 2016. On July 24, 2014, the Company announced the authorization of the Board of Directors to repurchase up to 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, or 867,923 shares. At March 31, 2016, there were 244,804 shares available for repurchase.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015

Total assets decreased by $4.6 million to $2.588 billion at March 31, 2016, from $2.593 billion at December 31, 2015. Securities, in the aggregate, decreased by $19.0 million, to $405.7 million at March 31, 2016, as compared to $424.7 million at December 31, 2015. Loans receivable, net, increased by $26.3 million, to $1.997 billion at March 31, 2016, from $1.971 billion at December 31, 2015, primarily due to $23.6 million growth in commercial loans and the purchase of a $12.8 million pool of performing, locally-originated, one-to-four family, non-conforming mortgage loans.

Deposits increased by $54.7 million, to $1.971 billion at March 31, 2016, from $1.917 billion at December 31, 2015, including $17.0 million of deposits acquired on March 11, 2016 through the purchase of an existing retail branch located in the Toms River market. Business deposits increased $23.9 million, demonstrating the value of relationship based lending. The deposit growth contributed to a decrease in FHLB advances of $72.5 million, to $251.9 million at March 31, 2016, from $324.4 million at December 31, 2015.

Stockholders’ equity increased to $241.1 million at March 31, 2016, as compared to $238.4 million at December 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016, there were 244,804 shares available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program authorized in July of 2014.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015

General

On July 31, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of Colonial American Bank (“Colonial”), which added $142.4 million to assets, $121.2 million to loans, and $123.3 million to deposits. Colonial’s results of operations are included in the consolidated results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 but are excluded from the results of operation for the corresponding prior year period. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $4.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $5.3 million or $0.32 per diluted share for the corresponding prior year period. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes non-recurring merger related expenses, net of tax benefit, of $1.2 million, which reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.07. Excluding the non-recurring merger related expenses, diluted earnings per share were equal to the prior year period as higher net interest income was offset by higher operating expenses and provision for loan losses, and lower other income.

Interest Income

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased to $23.1 million, as compared to $20.2 million, in the corresponding prior year period. Average interest-earning assets increased $234.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the same prior year period benefiting from the interest-earning assets acquired from Colonial which averaged $107.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Average loans receivable, net, increased $278.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the same prior year period. The increase attributable to Colonial was $101.5 million. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 3.73% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to 3.60% for the same prior year period. The asset yield in the current year period benefited from the growth in higher-yielding average loans and the reduction in lower-yielding average securities.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $2.5 million, as compared to $2.0 million, in the corresponding prior year period. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 0.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to 0.45% in the same prior year period. In anticipation of an eventual rise in interest rates, the Company extended its borrowed funds into higher-costing, longer-term maturities and has opportunistically grown higher-cost, longer-term certificates of deposit. Since December 31, 2013, the Bank has extended $206.9 million of short-term funding into 3-5 year maturities, extending the weighted average maturity of term borrowings from 1.3 years to 2.9 years at March 31, 2016. The total cost of deposits (including non-interest bearing deposits) was 0.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to 0.21% for the corresponding prior year period.

Net interest income for the three a months ended March 31, 2016 increased to $20.6 million, as compared to $18.1 million, in the same prior year period, reflecting an increase in interest-earning assets and a higher net interest margin. Average interest-earning assets increased $234.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the same prior year period. The current quarter was favorably impacted by the interest-earning assets acquired from Colonial, which averaged $107.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The net interest margin increased to 3.32% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to 3.24% for the same prior year period.

Provision for Loan Losses

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the provision for loan losses was $563,000, as compared to $375,000 for the corresponding prior year period. Net charge-offs increased to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to net charge-offs of $273,000, in the corresponding prior year period. Two non-performing commercial loans accounted for $886,000 of the total net charge-off. Non-performing loans decreased by $2.1 million at March 31, 2016, as compared to December 31, 2015.

Other Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, other income decreased to $3.4 million, as compared to $4.0 million in the same prior year period. The decrease from the prior year quarter was primarily due to higher net losses from other real estate operations of $427,000, as compared to the prior year. The loss is predominately due to the seasonal operations of the hotel, golf and banquet facility acquired as other real estate owned in the fourth quarter of 2015. The Bank is in the process of finalizing a sale agreement with a qualified buyer with an expected mid-year closing. Fees and service charges declined $72,000 from the prior year due to the sector wide shift of consumers away from deposit overdrafts. The 2015 results included a gain on sale of loan servicing of $81,000.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased to $16.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $13.7 million in the same prior year period. Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 include $1.4 million in non-recurring merger expenses relating to the pending acquisition of Cape. Excluding merger related expenses, the increase in operating expenses over the prior year was due to the operations of Colonial, $448,000; the investment in commercial lending, $441,000; and the impact of the new branches, $331,000.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $2.7 million for the corresponding prior year period. The effective tax was 36.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to 34.3% for prior year period. The increase in the effective tax rate over the prior period was primarily due to non-deductible merger related expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, FHLB and other borrowings and, to a lesser extent, investment maturities. While scheduled amortization of loans is a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises.

At March 31, 2016, the Company had no outstanding overnight borrowings from the FHLB compared to $82.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2015. The Company utilizes overnight borrowings to fund short-term liquidity needs. The Company had total FHLB borrowings, including the overnight borrowings, of $251.9 million and $324.4 million, respectively, at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The Company’s cash needs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were primarily satisfied by principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans held for sale, proceeds from maturities of investment securities and deposit growth. The cash was principally utilized for loan originations, the purchase of loans receivable, and to reduce borrowings. The Company’s cash needs for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were primarily satisfied by principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans held for sale, proceeds from maturities of investment securities and deposit growth. The cash was principally utilized for loan originations, the purchase of loans receivable, the purchase of investment securities and to reduce FHLB borrowings.

In the normal course of business, the Company routinely enters into various off-balance-sheet commitments. At March 31, 2016, outstanding undrawn lines of credit totaled $302.4 million; outstanding commitments to originate loans totaled $94.2 million; and outstanding commitments to sell loans totaled $6.4 million. The Company expects to have sufficient funds available to meet current commitments arising in the normal course of business.

Time deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $147.2 million at March 31, 2016. Based upon historical experience management estimates that a significant portion of such time deposits will remain with the Company.

The Company has a detailed contingency funding plan and comprehensive reporting of funding trends on a monthly and quarterly basis which are reviewed by management. Management also monitors cash on a daily basis to determine the liquidity needs of the Bank. Additionally, management performs multiple liquidity stress test scenarios on a quarterly basis. The Bank continues to maintain significant liquidity under all stress scenarios.

Under the Company’s common stock repurchase program, shares of OceanFirst Financial Corp. common stock may be purchased in the open market and through privately-negotiated transactions, from time-to-time, depending on market conditions. The repurchased shares are held as treasury stock for general corporate purposes. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock compared with repurchases of 110,143 shares at a cost of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016, there were 244,804 shares available to be repurchased under the stock repurchase program authorized in July of 2014.

Cash dividends on common stock declared and paid during the first three months of 2016 were $2.2 million, as compared to $2.1 million in the same prior year period. The increase in dividends was a result of the additional shares issued in the Colonial acquisition. On April 21, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of thirteen cents ($0.13) per common share. The dividend is payable on May 20, 2016 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 9, 2016.

The primary sources of liquidity specifically available to OceanFirst Financial Corp., the holding company of OceanFirst Bank, are capital distributions from the bank subsidiary and the issuance of preferred and common stock and long-term debt. At December 31, 2015, the Company had received notice from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia that it does not

object to the payment of $12.0 million in dividends from the Bank to the Company over the next three quarters of 2016, although the Federal Reserve Bank reserved the right to revoke the approval at any time if a safety and soundness concern arises. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company received a dividend payment of $4.0 million from the Bank and $8.0 million remained to be paid over the next two quarters. The Company’s ability to continue to pay dividends will be largely dependent upon capital distributions from the Bank, which may be adversely affected by capital constraints imposed by the applicable regulations. The Company cannot predict whether the Bank will be permitted under applicable regulations to pay a dividend to the Company. If the Bank is unable to pay dividends to the Company, the Company may not have the liquidity necessary to pay a dividend in the future or pay a dividend at the same rate as historically paid, or be able to meet current debt obligations. At March 31, 2016, OceanFirst Financial Corp. held $17.6 million in cash.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in the financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used for general corporate purposes or for customer needs. Corporate purpose transactions are used to help manage credit, interest rate and liquidity risk or to optimize capital. Customer transactions are used to manage customers’ requests for funding. These financial instruments and commitments include undrawn lines of credit and commitments to extend credit. The Company also has outstanding commitments to sell loans amounting to $6.4 million at March 31, 2016.

The following table shows the contractual obligations of the Company by expected payment period as of March 31, 2016 (in thousands):

Commitments to fund undrawn lines of credit and commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments.

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 1 to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”), as supplemented by this report, contains a summary of significant accounting policies. Various elements of these accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. Certain assets are carried in the consolidated statements of financial condition at fair value or the lower of cost or fair value. Policies with respect to the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses and judgments regarding securities and goodwill impairment are the most critical accounting policies because they are important to the presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. These judgments and policies involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions and estimates could result in material differences in the results of operations or financial condition. Goodwill will be

evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment between annual measurement dates. These critical accounting policies and their application are reviewed periodically and, at least annually, with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Safe Harbor Statement

In addition to historical information, this quarterly report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company.

Table of Contents

Additionally, the table below sets forth the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk as measured by the change in economic value of equity (“EVE”) and net interest income under varying rate shocks as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. All methods used to measure interest rate sensitivity involve the use of assumptions, which may tend to oversimplify the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s interest rate sensitivity should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the 2015 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, based on that evaluation, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Notes To Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OceanFirst Financial Corp.

The interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for all of 2016. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition and the results of operations for the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

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

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Note 2. Branch Acquisition

On March 11, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of an existing retail branch in the Toms River market. Under the terms of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement dated July 31, 2015, the Company recognized a deposit premium of $340,000, equal to 2.50% of core deposits; i.e., all deposits other than time deposits, government deposits, and fiduciary accounts. Up to 1.0% of the deposit premium is contingent on the core deposit balance seventy-five days after closing.

The branch acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities is a complicated process involving significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date as additional information regarding the acquisition date fair values becomes available.

The following table presents the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 11, 2016 and their initial fair value estimates (in thousands).

During the third quarter 2013, the Bank transferred $536.0 million of previously designated available-for-sale securities to a held-to-maturity designation at estimated fair value. The securities transferred had an unrealized net loss of $13.3 million at the time of transfer which continues to be reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet, net of subsequent amortization, which is being recognized over the life of the securities. The carrying value of the held-to-maturity investment securities at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows (in thousands):

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities at March 31, 2016 by contractual maturity are shown below (in thousands). Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. At March 31, 2016, corporate debt securities with an amortized cost of $56.0 million and estimated fair value of $44.1 million were callable prior to the maturity date.

At March 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of each of the above corporate debt securities was below cost. However, the estimated fair value of the corporate debt securities has steadily increased over the past several years. The corporate debt securities are issued by other financial institutions with credit ratings ranging from a high of A3 to a low of Ba1 as rated by one of the internationally-recognized credit rating services. These floating-rate securities were purchased in 1998 and have paid coupon interest continuously since issuance. Floating-rate debt securities such as these pay a fixed interest rate spread over 90-day LIBOR. Following the purchase of these securities, the required interest rate spread increased for these types of securities causing a decline in the market price. The Company concluded that unrealized losses on

Table of Contents

corporate debt securities were only temporarily impaired at March 31, 2016. In concluding that the impairments were only temporary, the Company considered several factors in its analysis. The Company noted that each issuer made all the contractually due payments when required. There were no defaults on principal or interest payments and no interest payments were deferred. All of the financial institutions are also considered well-capitalized. Interest rate spreads have now decreased for these types of securities and market prices have improved. Based on management’s analysis of each individual security, the issuers appear to have the ability to meet debt service requirements over the life of the security. Furthermore, the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities. The Company has held the securities continuously since 1998 and expects to receive its full principal at maturity in 2028 or prior if called by the issuer. Historically, the Company has not utilized securities sales as a source of liquidity. The Company’s long range liquidity plans indicate adequate sources of liquidity outside the securities portfolio.

The mortgage-backed securities are issued and guaranteed by either the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) or Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), corporations which are chartered by the United States Government and whose debt obligations are typically rated AA+ by one of the internationally recognized credit rating services. The Company considers the unrealized losses to be the result of changes in interest rates which over time can have both a positive and negative impact on the estimated fair value of the mortgage-backed securities. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost. As a result, the Company concluded that these securities were only temporarily impaired at March 31, 2016.

Table of Contents

The Company categorizes all commercial and commercial real estate loans, except for small business loans, into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation and current economic trends, among other factors. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

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

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

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

Pass. Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by loan portfolio segment is as follows, excluding PCI loans (in thousands):

The Company classifies certain loans as troubled debt restructurings when credit terms to a borrower in financial difficulty are modified. The modifications may include a reduction in rate, an extension in term, the capitalization of past due amounts and/or the restructuring of scheduled principal payments. Included in the non-accrual loan total at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $4.8 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of troubled debt restructurings. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has allocated $170,000 and $262,000, respectively, of specific reserves to loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings. Non-accrual loans which become troubled debt restructurings are generally returned to accrual status after six months of performance. In addition to the troubled debt restructurings included in non-accrual loans, the Company also has loans classified as troubled debt restructurings which are accruing at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, which totaled $26.7 million and $26.3 million, respectively. Troubled debt restructurings are considered in the allowance for loan losses similar to other impaired loans.

Note 6. Reserve for Repurchased Loans and Loss Sharing Obligations

The reserve for repurchased loans and loss sharing obligations was $986,000 at March 31, 2016, unchanged from December 31, 2015, compared to $1,032,000 at March 31, 2015, unchanged from December 31, 2014. The reserve for repurchased loans and loss sharing obligations was established to provide for expected losses related to repurchase requests which may be received on residential mortgage loans previously sold to investors and other loss sharing obligations. The reserve is included in other liabilities in the accompanying statements of financial condition.

At March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, there were no outstanding loan repurchase requests.

Note 8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-16, “Business Combinations, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement – Period Adjustments.” The amendments in this Update apply to all entities that have reported provisional amounts for items in a business combination for which the accounting is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs and during the measurement period have an adjustment to provisional amounts recognized. In these cases, the acquirer must record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The main objective in developing this new ASU is to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more useful information. The update requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. It simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a quantitative assessment to identify impairment. The amendment 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. It requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. Financial assets and financial liabilities are to be presented separately by measurement category and the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities should be evaluated with other deferred tax assets. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company‘s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU requires all lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset, measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments, at the lease commencement date. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged under the new guidance. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective approach must be applied for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718).” The objective of the Update is to simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification

Table of Contents

of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under the Update, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) should be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity also should recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. An entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest (current accounting) or account for forfeitures when they occur. Within the Cash Flow Statement, excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity, and cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or the most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement costs). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, a fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that give the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Movements within the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the applicable reporting period. There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlations or other means.

Level 3 Inputs - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).

Securities Available-For-Sale

Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. Most of the Company’s available-for-sale securities, however, are fixed

Table of Contents

income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are bought and sold in active markets. Prices for these instruments are obtained through third party pricing vendors or security industry sources that actively participate in the buying and selling of securities. Prices obtained from these sources include market quotations and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used principally to value certain securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but comparing the securities to benchmark or comparable securities.

Other Real Estate Owned and Impaired Loans

Other real estate owned and loans measured for impairment based on the fair value of the underlying collateral are recorded at estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs. Fair value is based on independent appraisals.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands):

Assets and Liabilities Disclosed at Fair Value

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities disclosed at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy is set forth below.

Cash and Due from Banks

For cash and due from banks, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Securities Held-to-Maturity

Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost, as the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. The Company determines the fair value of the securities utilizing Level 2 inputs. In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. Most of the Company’s investment and mortgage-backed securities, however, are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are bought and sold in active markets. Prices for these instruments are obtained through third party pricing vendors or security industry sources that actively participate in the buying and selling of securities. Prices obtained from these sources include market quotations and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used principally to value certain securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but comparing the securities to benchmark or comparable securities.

Fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data as well as the best information available about the security. Illiquid credit markets have resulted in inactive markets for certain of the Company’s securities. As a result, there is limited observable market data for these assets. Fair value estimates for securities for which limited observable market data is available are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, liquidity discounts, credit and interest rate risks, and other factors. These estimates involve significant uncertainties and judgments and cannot be determined with precision. As a result, such calculated fair value estimates may not be realizable in a current sale or immediate settlement of the security.

Table of Contents

The Company utilizes third party pricing services to obtain fair values for its corporate debt securities. Management’s policy is to obtain and review all available documentation from the third party pricing service relating to their fair value determinations, including their methodology and summary of inputs. Management reviews this documentation, makes inquiries of the third party pricing service and makes a determination as to the level of the valuation inputs. Based on the Company’s review of the available documentation from the third party pricing service, management concluded that Level 2 inputs were utilized for all securities. In the case of the Level 2 securities, the significant observable inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, other market information and observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to the issuer.

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock

The fair value for Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock is its carrying value since this is the amount for which it could be redeemed. There is no active market for this stock and the Company is required to maintain a minimum investment based upon the outstanding balance of mortgage related assets and outstanding borrowings.

Loans

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as residential mortgage, consumer and commercial. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms.

Fair value of performing and non-performing loans was estimated by discounting the future cash flows, net of estimated prepayments, at a rate for which similar loans would be originated to new borrowers with similar terms. Fair values estimated in this manner do not fully incorporate an exit price approach to fair value, but instead are based on a comparison to current market rates for comparable loans.

Deposits Other than Time Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing checking accounts, money market accounts and saving accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand. The related insensitivity of the majority of these deposits to interest rate changes creates a significant inherent value which is not reflected in the fair value reported.

Time Deposits

The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase with Retail Customers

Fair value approximates the carrying amount as these borrowings are payable on demand and the interest rate adjusts monthly.

Borrowed Funds

Fair value estimates are based on discounting contractual cash flows using rates which approximate the rates offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

The book value and estimated fair value of the Bank’s significant financial instruments not recorded at fair value as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are presented in the following tables (in thousands):

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because a limited market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other significant unobservable inputs. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on existing balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include deferred tax assets, and premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.
