NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation: BankFinancial Corporation, a Maryland corporation headquartered in Burr Ridge, Illinois, is the owner of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of BankFinancial, F.S.B. (the “Bank”).

Principles of Consolidation: The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of and transactions of BankFinancial Corporation, the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Financial Assurance Services, Inc. and BF Asset Recovery Corporation (collectively, “the Company”) and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

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

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, the impairment of securities and the fair value of financial instruments are particularly subject to change and the effect of such change could be material to the financial statements.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period’s financial statements to conform them to the current period’s presentation.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2 – LOSS PER SHARE

Amounts reported in loss per share reflect earnings available to common stockholders for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, exclusive of unearned ESOP shares and unvested restricted stock shares. Stock options and restricted stock are regarded as potential common stock and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent that they would have a dilutive effect if converted to common stock.

NOTE 3 - SECURITIES (continued)

Securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 that were not recognized in income are as follows:



	Less than 12 Months				12 Months or More				Total
	Fair Value		Unrealized Loss		Fair Value		Unrealized Loss		Fair Value		Unrealized Loss
September 30, 2012
Mortgage-backed securities – residential	$	72	$	1	$	—	$	—	$	72	$	1

December 31, 2011
Collateralized mortgage obligations – residential	$	—	$	—	$	2,134	$	23	$	2,134	$	23

The Company evaluates marketable investment securities with significant declines in fair value on a quarterly basis to determine whether they should be considered other-than-temporarily impaired under current accounting guidance, which generally provides that if a marketable security is in an unrealized loss position, whether due to general market conditions or industry or issuer-specific factors, the holder of the securities must assess whether the impairment is other-than-temporary.

Certain residential mortgage-backed securities and residential collateralized mortgage obligations that the Company holds in its investment portfolio remained in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2012, but the unrealized losses were not considered significant under the Company’s impairment testing methodology. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell these securities, and it is likely that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before an anticipated recovery occurs.

NOTE 4 – LOANS RECEIVABLE

Purchased Impaired Loans

As a result of its acquisition of Downers Grove National Bank, the Company holds purchased loans for which there was evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected as of the date of the acquisition. The carrying amount of these purchased impaired loans is as follows:



	September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011

One-to-four family residential real estate loans	$	2,125	$	3,941
Multi-family mortgage loans	1,528		1,418

Construction loans	—		813
Land loans	1,634		3,975
Commercial loans	357		1,078
Outstanding balance	$	8,254	$	14,600

Carrying amount, net of allowance ($219,000 at September 30, 2012, none at December 31, 2011)	$	8,035	$	14,600

Accretable yield, or income expected to be collected, related to purchased impaired loans is as follows:



	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011

Accretion of income	179		388		1,095		776
Ending balance	$	404	$	2,634	$	404	$	2,634

For the above purchased impaired loans, the Company decreased the allowance for loan losses by $5,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2012, and increased the allowance for loan losses by $219,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. No allowance for loan losses was recorded for these loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Purchased impaired loans for which it was probable at the date of acquisition that all contractually required payments would not be collected are as follows:



	September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Contractually required payments receivable of loans purchased:
One-to-four family residential real estate loans	$	3,186	$	5,886

	$	62,316	$	64,281	$	350

Nonaccrual loans and impaired loans are defined differently. Some loans may be included in both categories, and some may only be included in one category. Nonaccrual loans include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually evaluated impaired loans.

The Company’s reserve for uncollected loan interest was $1.7 million and $2.7 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Except for purchased impaired loans, when a loan is on non-accrual status and the ultimate collectability of the total principal balance of the impaired loan is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. Alternatively, when a loan is on non-accrual status but there is doubt concerning only the ultimate collectability of interest, contractual interest is credited to interest income only when received, under the cash basis method pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 310–10, as applicable. In all cases, the average balances are calculated based on the month–end balances of the financing receivables within the period reported pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 310–10, as applicable.

Generally, the Company utilizes the “90 days delinquent, still accruing” category of loan classification when: (1) the loan is repaid in full shortly after the period end date; (2) the loan is well secured and there are no asserted or pending legal barriers to its collection; or (3) the borrower has remitted all scheduled payments and is otherwise in substantial compliance with the terms of the loan, but the processing of payments actually received or the renewal of a loan has not occurred for administrative reasons.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

The Company evaluates loan extensions and modifications in accordance with FASB ASC 310–40 with respect to the classification of the loan as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). In general, if the Company grants a loan extension or modification to a borrower for other than an insignificant period of time that includes a below–market interest rate, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance or another concession intended to minimize the economic loss to the Company, the loan extension or loan modification is classified as a TDR. In cases where borrowers are granted new terms that provide for a reduction of either interest or principal then due and payable, management measures any impairment on the restructured loan in the same manner as for impaired loans as noted above.

The Company had $9.5 million of TDRs at September 30, 2012 compared to $18.1 million at December 31, 2011, with $147,000 in specific valuation allowances allocated to those loans at September 30, 2012, and $1.2 million in specific valuation allowances allocated at December 31, 2011. The Company had no outstanding commitments to borrowers whose loans are classified as TDRs.

The following table presents loans by class that are classified as TDRs:

During the three- and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2012 and 2011, the terms of certain loans were modified and classified as TDRs. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

The following tables present loans, by loan class, that were modified as TDRs during the following periods:

The TDRs described above had no impact on interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. There was no impact on the allowance for loan losses in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and an increase in the allowance for loan losses of $198,000 during the nine- months ended September 30, 2012. The above TDRs also resulted in no charge offs for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and charge offs of $470,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

The TDRs described above decreased interest income by $5,000, increased the allowance for loan losses by $155,000 and resulted in no charge offs during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the three- and nine- months ended September 30, 2012 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. These loans have a total recorded investment as of September 30, 2012 of $288,000. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties or a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant.

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

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans based on credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a monthly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Watch List. Loans classified as Watch List exhibit transitory risk. Loan debt service coverage is somewhat erratic, future coverage is uncertain, liquidity is strained and leverage capacity is considered minimal. Indicators of potential deterioration of repayment sources have resulted in uncertainty or unknown factors concerning credit status.

Special Mention. A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard. A Substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The risk rating guidance published by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) clarifies that a loan with a well-defined weakness does not have to present a probability of default for the loan to be rated Substandard, and that an individual loan’s loss potential does not have to be distinct for the loan

NOTE 4 – LOANS RECEIVABLE (continued)

to be rated Substandard.

Doubtful. An asset classified doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered “Pass” rated loans. Watch list loans are also considered “Pass” rated loans.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

The Dodd-Frank Act abolished the Bank’s former primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift of Supervision (“OTS”), effective on July 21, 2011, and transferred the authority for examining, regulating and supervising federal savings banks from the OTS to the OCC. The OCC’s published guidance on the assignment of loan risk ratings is different in some respects from the published guidance of the OTS, particularly as it relates to the assignment of a "substandard" rating performing loans with well-defined weaknesses that do not present a probability of default or loss. At September 30, 2012, $53.8 million of loans that were classified “Substandard” pursuant to applicable OCC loan risk rating guidance were performing and on accrual status.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE

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


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


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

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE (continued)


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

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

Securities: The fair values of marketable equity securities are generally determined by quoted prices, in active markets, for each specific security (Level 1). If Level 1 measurement inputs are not available for a marketable equity security, we determine its fair value based on the quoted price of a similar security traded in an active market (Level 2). The fair values of debt securities are generally determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2).

Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is evaluated on a pool-level basis. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan or other observable market data, such as outstanding commitments from third party investors (Level 2).

Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific valuation allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These real estate appraisals may include up to three approaches to value: the sales comparison approach, the income approach (for income-producing property) and the cost approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available, if applicable. Such adjustments may be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. In addition, a discount is typically applied to account for sales and holding expenses. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. The method utilized to estimate the fair value of loans does not necessarily represent an exit price.

Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through foreclosure or transfers in lieu of foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. Although the fair value of the property normally will be based on an appraisal (or other evaluation), the valuation should be consistent with the price that a market participant will pay to purchase the property at the measurement date. Circumstances may exist that indicate that the appraised value is not an accurate measurement of the property's current fair value. Examples of such circumstances include changed economic conditions since the last appraisal, stale appraisals, or imprecision and subjectivity in the appraisal process (i.e., actual sales for less than the appraised amount). Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Mortgage Servicing Rights: On a quarterly basis, loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. The fair values of mortgage servicing rights are based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. The Company is able to compare the valuation model inputs and results to widely available published industry data for reasonableness (Level 2).

Mortgage servicing rights, which are carried at lower of cost or fair value, had a carrying amount of $1.1 million at September 30, 2012, of which $796,000 related to fixed rate loans and $275,000 related to adjustable rate loans. Mortgage servicing rights had a carrying amount of $1.2 million at December 31, 2011, of which $895,000 related to fixed rate loans and $309,000 related to adjustable rate loans. A pre-tax recovery of $6,000 and provision of $38,000 on our mortgage servicing rights portfolio was included in noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $32,000 provision for mortgage servicing rights for the same periods in 2011.

For purposes of the above, the following assumptions were used:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The estimated fair values for cash and cash equivalents are based on their carrying value due to the short-term nature of these assets.

Loans: The estimated fair value for loans has been determined by calculating the present value of future cash flows based on the current rate the Company would charge for similar loans with similar maturities, applied for an estimated time period until the loan is assumed to be re-priced or repaid. The estimated fair values of loans held-for-sale are based on quoted market prices.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE (continued)

FHLBC Stock: It is not practicable to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (“FHLBC”) stock due to the restrictions placed on its transferability.

Deposit Liabilities: The estimated fair value for certificates of deposit is determined by calculating the present value of future cash flows based on estimates of rates the Company would pay on such deposits, applied for the time period until maturity. The estimated fair values of noninterest-bearing demand, NOW, money market, and savings deposits are assumed to approximate their carrying values as management establishes rates on these deposits at a level that approximates the local market area. Additionally, these deposits can be withdrawn on demand.

Borrowings: The estimated fair values of advances from the FHLBC and notes payable are based on current market rates for similar financing. The estimated fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is assumed to equal its carrying value due to the short-term nature of the liability.

Accrued Interest: The estimated fair values of accrued interest receivable and payable are assumed to equal their carrying value.

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments: Off-balance-sheet items consist principally of unfunded loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and unused lines of credit. The estimated fair values of unfunded loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and unused lines of credit are not material.

While the above estimates are based on management’s judgment of the most appropriate factors, as of the balance sheet date, there is no assurance that the estimated fair values would have been realized if the assets were disposed of or the liabilities settled at that date, since market values may differ depending on the various circumstances. The estimated fair values would also not apply to subsequent dates.

In addition, other assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments, such as premises and equipment, are not included in the above disclosures.

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

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Forward Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains, and other periodic and current reports, press releases and other public stockholder communications of BankFinancial Corporation may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve significant risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to our future plans, strategies and expectations, as well as our future revenues, earnings, losses, financial performance, financial condition, asset quality metrics and future prospects. Forward looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” or similar expressions. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date made. They are frequently based on assumptions that may or may not materialize, and are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements. We intend all forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for the purpose of invoking these safe harbor provisions.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected and which could materially and adversely affect our operating results, financial condition or future prospects include, but are not limited to: (i) the failure of the real estate market to recover or further declines in real estate values that adversely impact the value of our loan collateral and OREO, asset dispositions and borrower equity in their investments; (ii) the persistence or worsening of adverse economic conditions in general and in the Chicago metropolitan area in particular, including high or increasing unemployment levels, that could result in increased delinquencies in our loan portfolio or a decline in the value of our investment securities and the collateral for our loans; (iii) results of supervisory monitoring or examinations by regulatory authorities, including the possibility that a regulatory authority could, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses or adversely change our loan classifications, write-down assets, reduce credit concentrations or maintain specific capital levels; (iv) interest rate movements and their impact on customer behavior and our net interest margin; (v) less than anticipated loan growth due to a lack of demand for specific loan products, competitive pressures or a dearth of borrowers who meet our underwriting standards; (vi) changes, disruptions or illiquidity in national or global financial markets; (vii) the credit risks of lending activities, including risks that could cause changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and charge-offs or changes in estimates relating to the computation of our allowance for loan losses; (viii) monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve Board; (ix) factors affecting our ability to access deposits or cost-effective funding, and the impact of competitors’ pricing initiatives on our deposit products; (x) the impact of new legislation or regulatory changes, including the Dodd-Frank Act, on our products, services, operations and operating expenses; (xi) higher federal deposit insurance premiums; (xii) higher than expected overhead, infrastructure and compliance costs; (xiii) changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; and (xiv) and our failure to achieve expected synergies and cost savings from acquisitions.

These risks and uncertainties, as well as the Risk Factors set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement in the future, or to reflect circumstances and events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement was made.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the most critical accounting policies upon which our financial condition and results of operation depend, and which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, are included in the discussion entitled “Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, and all amendments thereto, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

During the third quarter of 2012, national economic activity decelerated and local economic conditions in our primary Chicago metropolitan market area reflected at best minimal growth. The principal challenges in the local economy continue to be persistent unemployment and uneven economic growth, both of which continue to impact real estate values. Competitive factors also had an increasing impact during the quarter, as pricing and underwriting competition for multi-family and commercial real estate loans and commercial leases remained intense.

Loan portfolio balances declined in all categories except consumer loans; however, loan pipelines for multifamily, commercial real estate, commercial health care and commercial leasing are at their highest levels in the past four quarters. Residential loan balances declined due to scheduled loan amortizations and prepayments of our fixed-rate loan portfolio. Multi-family loan balances declined due to intensified pricing and underwriting competition, including the entry of new competitors into the sector. In approximately 50% of the cases in which we received a payoff on a multi-family loan, we elected not to match the competitor's offer based on the particular merits of the credit exposure, which involved unmonitored cash-out refinance transactions. Commercial real estate loan balances declined due to slightly lower loan origination volumes and certain targeted portfolio reductions. We expect to see continued targeted portfolio reductions within the commercial real estate portfolio through the first quarter of 2013, potentially fully offset by improved loan origination volumes. Commercial and industrial loan balances declined primarily for cyclical reasons due to state government health care payables practices and due to quarter-end activity on commercial lease bridge lines of credit; we expect these balances to return gradually to their customary balances over the next three to six months. Commercial lease origination volumes improved during the quarter; we expect this portfolio to return to positive growth in the fourth quarter of 2012. Our focus for the remainder of 2012 will be to maintain current overall loan portfolio levels and to more aggressively increase originations in certain selected loan categories such as residential loans, multifamily loans, commercial loans and commercial leases consistent with market opportunities.

We engaged in the accelerated disposition of certain OREO assets during the third quarter of 2012. Our evaluation methodology involves an assessment of the disposition strategy that provides the highest cash proceeds within a defined period of time. During the third quarter of 2012, we changed our disposition strategy on certain income-producing OREO assets from an ordinary-liquidation pricing model to an aggressive pricing model designed to stimulate market demand. For the third quarter of 2012, we closed $2.4 million in total OREO sales and had accepted offers on an additional $4.3 million in OREO balances; the total activity represented 38.6% of our June 30, 2012 OREO balances. Our third quarter of 2012 results reflect the write-downs and expenses related to OREO transfers and sales.

Management is evaluating, but not yet finalized or presented to the Board for approval, a more comprehensive plan to reduce nonperforming assets through accelerated dispositions during the fourth quarter of 2012. In this regard, we continued evaluations of certain non-performing loans and OREO for which a targeted disposition strategy aimed at long-term equity investors may be the most appropriate strategy. If approved by the Board, the objectives of such a plan would be to achieve a meaningful reduction of non-performing loans and OREO by the end of 2012 such that the future potential impacts to earnings in 2013 and future years from credit-related costs are materially diminished.

Our general loan loss reserve requirement remained stable in the third quarter of 2012 due principally to a reduction of loan portfolio balances offset by increased reserves for residential and home-equity loans pursuant to new regulatory standards. Pursuant to newly-applicable OCC guidance, we charged off $10.8 million of our specific valuation allowances during the quarter and recorded $3.8 million in additional charge-offs related to updated appraisals received on non-performing loans.

Given our excess liquidity position, we continued to reduce our competitive posture with respect to pricing on single-service certificate of deposit accounts, which has been successful in producing a decline in these account balances. Pricing conditions for local deposits, whether low-balance core deposits, certificates of deposit or high-balance, high-yield transaction accounts, remained generally favorable due to very low market yields and continued weak industry-wide loan demand.

Our net interest spread and net interest margin declined due to declines in loan yields and the decline in loan balances. We anticipate that current market conditions on new loans and leases and lower effective yields resulting from scheduled loan repayments and loan renewals will likely cause some additional compression of our net interest margin and net interest spread; however, we believe that the preponderance of portfolio yield reductions have already occurred and we may be able to offset some of the impact of lower market yields with loan growth in the coming quarters. Given the quantity and volatility of the variables affecting our net interest margin and net interest spread, we are unable to confidently predict what the Company's net interest margin and net interest spread will be for the remainder of 2012 and 2013.

Non-interest income was higher in the third quarter of 2012 due to stabilization in deposit service fees and other non-interest income categories. Non-interest expense was materially higher due to factors relating to non-performing asset / OREO management and valuations; however, our core non-interest expense was stable.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011

Total assets decreased $63.7 million, or 4.1%, to $1.500 billion at September 30, 2012, from $1.564 billion at December 31, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents increased $116.0 million, or 96.1%, to $236.7 million at September 30, 2012, from $120.7 million at December 31, 2011, as a result of the decreases in investment securities and loans. Securities decreased by $11.1 million, or 11.9%, to $81.7 million at September 30, 2012, from $92.8 million at December 31, 2011, primarily due to cash flows in our residential mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligation portfolio. Net loans receivable decreased $146.9 million, or 12.0%, to $1.080 billion at September 30, 2012, from $1.227 billion at December 31, 2011, due in part to loan payoffs, and intense pricing and underwriting competition for multi-family and commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans.

Total liabilities decreased by $61.8 million, or 4.5%, to $1.302 billion at September 30, 2012, from $1.364 billion at December 31, 2011. Total deposits decreased $54.4 million, or 4.1%, to $1.278 billion at September 30, 2012, from $1.333 billion at December 31, 2011, primarily due to our decision to reduce our competitive posture with respect to pricing on single-service certificate of deposit accounts. Certificates of deposit decreased $51.3 million, or 14.1%, to $313.1 million at September 30, 2012, from $364.4 million at December 31, 2011. Core deposits increased to 75.5% of total deposits at September 30, 2012, from 72.6% of total deposits at December 31, 2011. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $7.6 million, or 5.4%, to $134.5 million at September 30, 2012, from $142.1 million at December 31, 2011. Savings accounts decreased $1.3 million, or 0.9%, to $143.2 million at September 30, 2012, from $144.5 million at December 31, 2011. Money market and interest-bearing NOW accounts increased $5.9 million, or 0.9%, to $687.4 million at September 30, 2012, from $681.5 million at December 31, 2011.

Total stockholders' equity decreased $1.9 million to $198.0 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $199.9 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the net loss of $2.1 million. The unallocated shares of common stock that our ESOP owns were reflected as a $12.5 million reduction to stockholders' equity at September 30, 2012.

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Net Loss. We had a net loss of $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Our loss per share of common stock was $0.26 per basic and fully diluted share, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $0.10 per basic and fully diluted share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $13.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 17.9% from $16.4 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease reflected a $3.5 million decrease in interest income and a $593,000 decrease in interest expense.

The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to a lower level of average interest-earning assets. Total average interest-earning assets decreased $94.0 million, or 6.2%, to $1.420 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $1.514 billion for the same period in 2011. Our net interest rate spread decreased by 50 basis points to 3.69% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from 4.19% for the same period in 2011. Our net interest margin decreased by 53 basis points to 3.76% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from 4.29% for the same period in 2011. The decrease in the net interest spread and margin was a result of lower yields on interest earning assets, which was partially offset by a lower cost of funds. The yield on interest earning assets decreased 66 basis points to 4.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from 4.71% for the same period in 2011, and the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 16 basis points to 0.36% for the three months

Average Balance Sheets

The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, because the effect of these adjustments would not be material. Average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans have been included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include, where applicable, the effect of deferred fees and expenses, discounts and premiums, and purchase accounting adjustments that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, we consider past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of nonaccrual and other classified loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or later events change. We assess the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and make provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance.

Based on our evaluation of the above factors, we recorded a $408,000 provision to the general portion of the allowance for loan losses. In Call Report preparation guidance issued in connection with the transition of federal savings banks from OTS to OCC supervision, the OCC announced that the specific valuation allowances that the OTS' accounting guidance historically permitted federal savings banks to maintain for collateral dependent loans should be eliminated. We adopted this methodology in the third quarter 2012 and charged off $10.8 million of specific valuation allowances. This one time charge did not impact earnings or the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2012; however, the $10.8 million of specific valuation allowance charge-offs were included in total charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and reduced our recorded balances for loans, the allowance for loan losses, nonaccrual loans and impaired loans.

A loan balance is classified as a loss and charged-off when it is confirmed that there is no readily apparent source of repayment for the amount of the loan that is classified as loss. Confirmation can occur upon the receipt of updated third-party appraisal valuation information indicating that there is a low probability of repayment upon sale of the collateral, the final disposition of collateral where the net proceeds are insufficient to pay the loan balance in full, our failure to obtain possession of certain consumer-loan collateral within certain time limits specified by applicable federal regulations, the conclusion of legal proceedings where the borrower’s obligation to repay is legally discharged (such as a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding), or when it appears that further formal collection procedures are not likely to result in net proceeds in excess of the costs to collect.

At September 30, 2012, our past due multi-family, nonresidential real estate, construction and development and commercial loans totaled $9.6 million. Of the $9.6 million in past due loans, $7.7 million, or 80.1%, were “Pass” rated matured loans that were in the process of renewal. The remaining $1.9 million of the past due loans were subject to informal collection activities intended to bring the loan current.

Nonperforming Loans and Assets

We review loans on a regular basis, and generally place loans on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. In addition, the Company places loans on nonaccrual status when we do not expect to receive full payment of interest or principal. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are recognized in accordance with our significant accounting policies. Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the borrower must generally demonstrate at least six months of payment performance before the loan is eligible to return to accrual status. We may have loans classified as 90 days or more delinquent and still accruing. Generally, we do not utilize this category of loan classification unless: (1) the loan is repaid in full shortly after the period end date; (2) the loan is well secured and there are no asserted or pending legal barriers to its collection; or (3) the borrower has remitted all scheduled payments and is otherwise in substantial compliance with the terms of the loan, but the processing of loan payments actually received or the renewal of the loan has not occurred for administrative reasons. At September 30, 2012, we had one loan totaling $248,000 in this category and we had three loans totaling $350,000 in this category at December 31, 2011.

We typically obtain new third–party appraisals or collateral valuations when we place a loan on nonaccrual status, conduct impairment testing or conduct a TDR unless the existing valuation information for the collateral is sufficiently current to comply with the requirements of our Appraisal and Collateral Valuation Policy (“ACV Policy”). We also obtain new third–party appraisals or collateral valuations when the judicial foreclosure process concludes with respect to real estate collateral, and when we otherwise acquire actual or constructive title to real estate collateral. In addition to third–party appraisals, we use updated valuation information based on Multiple Listing Service data, broker opinions of value, actual sales prices of similar assets sold by us and approved sales prices in response to offers to purchase similar assets owned by us to provide interim valuation information for consolidated financial statement and management purposes. Our ACV Policy establishes the maximum useful life of a real estate appraisal at 18 months. Because appraisals and updated valuations utilize historical or “ask–side” data in reaching valuation conclusions, the appraised or updated valuation may or may not reflect the actual sales price that we will receive at the time of sale.

Real estate appraisals may include up to three approaches to value: the sales comparison approach, the income approach (for income-producing property) and the cost approach. Not all appraisals utilize all three approaches. Depending on the nature of the collateral and market conditions, we may emphasize one approach over another in determining the fair value of real estate collateral. Appraisals may also contain different estimates of value based on the level of occupancy or planned future improvements. “As-is” valuations represent an estimate of value based on current market conditions with no changes to the use or condition of the real estate collateral. “As-stabilized” or “as-completed” valuations assume the real estate collateral will be improved to a stated standard or achieve its highest and best use in terms of occupancy. “As-stabilized” or “as-completed” valuations may be subject to a present value adjustment for market conditions or the schedule of improvements.

As part of the asset classification process, we develop an exit strategy for real estate collateral or OREO by assessing overall market conditions, the current use and condition of the asset, and its highest and best use. ASC 820-10 provides guidance for measuring the fair value of OREO property. Although the fair value of the property normally will be based on an appraisal (or other evaluation), the valuation should be consistent with the price that a market participant will pay to purchase the property at the measurement date. Circumstances may exist that indicate that the appraised value is not an accurate measurement of the property's current fair value. As of September 30, 2012, all of our impaired real estate loan collateral and OREO were valued on an “as–is basis.”

Estimates of the net realizable value of real estate collateral also include a deduction for the expected costs to sell the collateral or such other deductions from the cash flows resulting from the operation and liquidation of the asset as are appropriate. For most real estate collateral subject to the judicial foreclosure process, we apply a 10.0% deduction to the value of the asset to determine the expected costs to sell the asset. This estimate includes one year of real estate taxes, sales commissions and miscellaneous repair and closing costs. If we receive a purchase offer that requires unbudgeted repairs, or if the expected resolution period for the asset exceeds one year, we then include, on a case-by-case basis, the costs of the additional real estate taxes and repairs and any other material holding costs in the expected costs to sell the collateral. For OREO, we apply a 7.0% deduction to determine the expected costs to sell, as expenses for real estate taxes and repairs are expensed when incurred.

Loans on Nonaccrual Status

Non-accrual loans decreased to $52.8 million at September 30, 2012, from $64.7 million at June 30, 2012. The decrease was due in part to the elimination of $10.8 million in specific valuation allowances pursuant to OCC guidance.

Material activity related to significant non-performing assets previously disclosed was as follows:

•

We have a $6.1 million total credit exposure consisting of seven loans that are secured by industrial/flex suburban Chicago commercial real estate owned by a family-owned entity. Five of these loans were non-performing at September 30, 2012. During the third quarter of 2012, we reached an agreement with the borrowers to renew certain of these loans and to extend the maturity dates of the remaining loans at market rates and terms, with enhanced cross-collateralization arrangements and the ownership's providing supplementary cash resources and ongoing cash payment support as needed. The agreement was consummated early in the fourth quarter of 2012. Following a period of sustained performance, we believe that the five non-performing loans will return to accrual status in 2013 and that the basis of their adverse classification will have been fully resolved.

Other Real Estate Owned

Real estate that is acquired through foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as OREO until it is sold. When real estate is acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, it is recorded at its fair value, less the estimated costs of disposal as discussed above. If the fair value of the property is less than the loan balance, the difference is charged against the allowance for loan losses.

Total other real estate owned	$	17,251	$	2,469	$	(2,352	)	$	(2,374	)	$	14,994

We closed sales of OREO in the amount of $2.4 million of net book value in the third quarter of 2012, compared to OREO sales in the amount of $3.1 million of net book value in the third quarter of 2011.

We market real estate for sale based on an estimate of its net realizable value. Depending on the levels of market interest received during the initial period of market exposure, we may reduce the offering price in subsequent periods; if we do so, the new offering price becomes the new net realizable value. We may also accept an offer to purchase a given real estate asset at a price below the net realizable value if there has been limited interest at the original offering price and we conclude that further market exposure time (even at a price lower than the current offering price but higher than the proposed actual sales price) will not produce materially better results given the holding costs and property management risks incurred over time.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.4 million to $16.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, due in substantial part to increased nonperforming asset management expenses and increased write downs of OREO. Net expense from nonperforming asset management increased to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $1.3 million for the same period in 2011. These expenses include legal expenses of $942,000, compared to $242,000 for the same period in 2011, and real estate tax expenses of $611,000, compared to $132,000 for the same period in 2011. Write downs on OREO for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $2.4 million, compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2011.

Net expense from operations of OREO was $432,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $563,000 for the same period in 2011. Net expense from operations of OREO for the three months ended September 30, 2012 included legal, insurance, real estate tax and receiver expenses of $279,000, compared to $346,000 for the same period in 2011. Maintenance and repair expense for OREO was $67,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $64,000 for the same period 2011. We recorded gains on sales of OREO of $42,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a loss of $16,000 for the same period in 2011.

Income Tax Benefit. We recorded no income tax expense or benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to an income tax benefit of $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 50.1%.

Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Net Loss. We had net loss of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Our loss per share of common stock was $0.11 per basic and fully diluted share, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $0.08 per basic and fully diluted share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $43.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 7.0% from $46.8 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease reflected a $5.4 million decrease in interest income and a $2.1 million decrease in interest expense.

The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to a lower level of average interest-earning assets. Total average interest-earning assets decreased $62.3 million, or 4.2%, to $1.438 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from $1.500 billion for the same period in 2011. Our net interest rate spread decreased by nine basis points to 3.97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from 4.06% for the same period in 2011. Our net interest margin decreased 13 basis points to 4.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from 4.17% for the same period in 2011. The decrease in the net interest spread and margin was a result of lower yields on interest earning assets, offset by lower cost of funds. The yield on interest earning assets decreased 30 basis points to 4.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from 4.66% for the same period in 2011, and the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 21 basis points to 0.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from 0.60% for the same period in 2011.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a provision for loan losses of $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We also recorded a $155,000 provision to the general portion of the allowance for loan losses. In Call Report preparation guidance issued in connection with the transition of federal savings banks from OTS to OCC supervision, the OCC announced that the specific valuation allowances that the OTS' accounting guidance historically permitted federal savings banks to maintain for collateral dependent loans should be eliminated. We adopted this methodology in the third quarter 2012 and charged off $10.8 million of specific valuation allowances. This one time charge did not impact earnings or the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012; however, the $10.8 million of specific valuation allowance charge-offs were included in total charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and reduced our recorded balances for loans, the allowance for loan losses, nonaccrual loans and impaired loans.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $43.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included $1.7 million of expenses relating to the acquisition of Downers Grove National Bank. Net expense from nonperforming asset management increased to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from $3.0 million for the same period in 2011. Net expense from nonperforming asset management for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included legal expenses of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $593,000 for the same period in 2011, and real estate tax expenses of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $965,000 for the same period in 2011.

We recorded net gains from sales of OREO in the amount of $126,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $98,000 for the same period in 2011. Net expense from operations of OREO was $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2011. Net expense from operations of OREO for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included legal, insurance, real estate tax and receiver expenses of $919,000, compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2011. Maintenance and repair expense for OREO was $212,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $146,000 for the same period 2011. Write-downs on OREO for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $3.8 million in write-downs, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2011.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). We recorded no income tax expense or benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to an income tax benefit of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 62.4% due to the impact of permanent book versus tax differences in relation to pre-tax income. As a result of the Illinois corporate income tax rate increase, we recorded an additional tax benefit of $227,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to the write-up of state deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. The overall objective of our liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash funds to meet all financial commitments and to take advantage of lending and investment opportunities. We manage liquidity in order to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.

Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and, to a lesser extent, wholesale borrowings, the proceeds from maturing securities and short-term investments, and the proceeds from the sales of loans and securities. The scheduled amortization of loans and securities, and proceeds from borrowings are predictable sources of funds. Other funding sources, however, such as deposit inflows, mortgage prepayments and mortgage loan sales are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank is a member of the FHLBC, which provides an additional source of short-term and long-term funding. The outstanding borrowing from the FHLBC was $3.0 million at September 30, 2012, at an interest rate of 2.99%; this borrowing will mature in less than one year. The outstanding FHLBC borrowing was $3.0 million

at December 31, 2011.

The liquidity needs of the Company on an unconsolidated basis consist primarily of operating expenses, dividends to stockholders and stock repurchases. The primary source of liquidity for the Company currently is $11.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2012 and cash dividends from our subsidiary, the Bank.

As a result of the regulatory restructuring occasioned by the Dodd-Frank Act, the Company is now subject to Federal Reserve Board Supervisory Letter SR 09-4, which provides that a holding company should, among other things, inform the Federal Reserve Bank prior to declaring a dividend if its net income for the current quarter is not sufficient to fully fund the dividend, and inform the Federal Reserve Bank and consider eliminating, deferring or significantly reducing its dividends if its net income for the current quarter is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends, or if its net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid during that period, is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends. The Company declared and paid cash dividends of $633,000, or $0.03 per share, to our stockholders during the first nine months of 2012. The Company will continue to consult with, and seek the prior approval of, the Federal Reserve Bank prior to declaring any dividends.

As of September 30, 2012, we were not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our liquidity. As of September 30, 2012, we had no other material commitments for capital expenditures.

Capital Resources. Total stockholders' equity decreased $1.9 million to $198.0 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $199.9 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the net loss of $2.1 million. The unallocated shares of common stock that our ESOP owns were reflected as a $12.5 million reduction to stockholders' equity at September 30, 2012.

Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 5,047,423 shares of our common stock. The authorization permits shares to be repurchased in open market or negotiated transactions, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The authorization may be utilized at management's discretion, subject to the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements, and to price and other internal limitations established by the Board of Directors. The repurchase authorization will expire on November 15, 2012, unless extended by the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had repurchased 4,239,134 shares of its common stock out of the 5,047,423 shares that have been authorized for repurchase. No shares were repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Federal Reserve Board Supervisory Letter SR 09-4 provides that holding companies experiencing financial weaknesses such as operating losses should consult with the appropriate Federal Reserve supervisory staff before redeeming or repurchasing common stock. The Company has no plans to conduct stock repurchases in the immediate future, and will not conduct further stock repurchase without first consulting with and obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Bank.

On June 6, 2012, the OCC and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a series of proposed rules to revise their risk-based and leverage capital requirements and their method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with the agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in “Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems” (“Basel III”). The proposed rules would apply to all depository institutions, top-tier bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $500 million or more, and top-tier savings and loan holding companies (“banking organizations”). Among other things, the proposed rules establish a new common equity tier 1 minimum capital requirement and a higher minimum tier 1 capital requirement, and assign higher risk weightings (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The proposed rules also limit a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of a specified amount of common equity tier 1 capital in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The final rules will become effective on January 1, 2013, and the changes set forth in the final rules will be phased in from January 1, 2013 through January 1, 2019.

The Company and the Bank have adopted Capital Plans that requires the Bank to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 12%. The minimum capital ratios set forth in the Capital Plans will be increased and other minimum capital requirements will be established if and as necessary to comply with the Basel III requirements as such requirements become applicable to the Company and the Bank. In accordance with the Capital Plans, neither the Company nor the Bank will pursue any acquisition or growth opportunity, declare any dividend or conduct any stock repurchase that would cause the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio and/or its Tier 1 leverage ratio to fall below the established minimum capital levels. In addition, the Company will continue to maintain its ability to serve as a source of financial strength to the Bank by holding at least $5.0 million of cash or liquid assets for that purpose.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank’s actual regulatory capital ratios, the minimum capital ratios required to be considered well-capitalized in the Prompt Corrective Action rules and the minimum capital ratios established under the Bank’s Capital Plans were:



	Actual Ratio	Minimum Required to Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions	Minimum Capital Ratios Established under Capital Plans

Tier 1 (core) capital (to adjusted total assets)	10.48%	4.00%	8.00%


ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Qualitative Analysis. We believe that our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results from timing differences in the maturity or repricing of our assets, liabilities and off balance sheet contracts (i.e., forward loan commitments), the effect of loan prepayments and deposit withdrawals, the difference in the behavior of lending and funding rates arising from the use of different indices and “yield curve risk” arising from changing rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities for constant or variable credit risk investments. In addition to directly affecting net interest income, changes in market interest rates can also affect the amount of new loan originations, the ability of borrowers to repay variable rate loans, the volume of loan prepayments and refinancings, the carrying value of investment securities classified as available-for-sale and the flow and mix of deposits.

The general objective of our interest rate risk management is to determine the appropriate level of risk given our business strategy and then manage that risk in a manner that is consistent with our policy to reduce, to the extent possible, the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which consists of certain members of senior management, evaluates the interest rate risk inherent in certain assets and liabilities, our operating environment and capital and liquidity requirements, and modifies our lending, investing and deposit gathering strategies accordingly. The Board of Directors’ Asset/Liability Management Committee then reviews the ALCO’s activities and strategies, the effect of those strategies on our net interest margin, and the effect that changes in market interest rates would have on the economic value of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the intrinsic value of our deposits and borrowings, and reports to the full Board of Directors.

We actively evaluate interest rate risk in connection with our lending, investing and deposit activities. In an effort to better manage interest-rate risk, we have de-emphasized the origination of residential mortgage loans for our loan portfolio, and have increased our emphasis on the origination of nonresidential real estate loans, multi-family mortgage loans, commercial loans and commercial leases. In addition, depending on market interest rates and our capital and liquidity position, we generally sell all or a portion of our longer-term, fixed-rate residential loans, usually on a servicing-retained basis. Further, we primarily invest in shorter-duration securities, which generally have lower yields compared to longer-term investments. Shortening the average maturity of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term loans and securities, as well as loans with variable rates of interest, helps to better match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Finally, we have classified all of our investment portfolio securities as available-for-sale so as to provide flexibility in liquidity management.

We utilize a combination of analyses to monitor the Bank’s exposure to changes in interest rates. The economic value of equity analysis is a model that estimates the change in net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. In calculating changes in NPV, we assume estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates that seem most likely based on historical experience during prior interest rate changes.

Table of Contents

Our net interest income analysis utilizes the data derived from the dynamic GAP analysis, described below, and applies several additional elements, including actual interest rate indices and margins, contractual limitations such as interest rate floors and caps and the US Treasury yield curve as of the balance sheet date. In addition, we apply consistent parallel yield curve shifts (in both directions) to determine possible changes in net interest income if the theoretical yield curve shifts occurred instantaneously. Net interest income analysis also adjusts the dynamic GAP repricing analysis based on changes in prepayment rates resulting from the parallel yield curve shifts.

Our dynamic GAP analysis determines the relative balance between the repricing of assets and liabilities over multiple periods of time (ranging from overnight to five years). Dynamic GAP analysis includes expected cash flows from loans and mortgage-backed securities, applying prepayment rates based on the differential between the current interest rate and the market interest rate for each loan and security type. This analysis identifies mismatches in the timing of asset and liability repricing but does not necessarily provide an accurate indicator of interest rate risk because it omits the factors incorporated into the net interest income analysis.

Quantitative Analysis. The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2012, the estimated changes in the Bank’s NPV and net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous parallel shift in the US Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.



Change in Interest Rates (basis points)	Estimated Increase in NPV				Decrease in Estimated Net Interest Income

The Company has opted not to include an estimate for a decrease in rates at September 30, 2012 as the results are not relevant given the current targeted fed funds rate of the Federal Open Market Committee. The table set forth above indicates that at September 30, 2012, in the event of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Bank would be expected to experience a 2.91% increase in NPV and a $322,000 decrease in net interest income. This data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors, which could reduce the actual impact on NPV and net interest income, if any.

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