Stewardship Financial Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2011

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Stewardship Financial Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2011 (the “2010 Annual Report”).

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stewardship Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Atlantic Stewardship Bank (the “Bank”), together referred to as “the Corporation”. The Bank includes its wholly owned subsidiaries, Stewardship Investment Corporation, Stewardship Realty LLC, Atlantic Stewardship Insurance Company, LLC and several other subsidiaries formed to hold title to properties acquired through deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Bank’s subsidiaries have an insignificant impact on the Bank’s daily operations. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions, based on available information, that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Material estimates

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and fair value of financial instruments. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize probable incurred losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions in the market area.

Basis of presentation

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the SEC and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. However, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.

Derivatives

Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities at fair value. The Corporation’s only derivative consists of an interest rate swap agreement, which is used as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage interest rate risk related to its subordinated debentures issued in 2003 to Stewardship Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), a statutory business trust (see Note 8 to the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation contained in the 2010 Annual Report). The Corporation does not use derivatives for trading purposes. (See Note 4 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

The Corporation designated the hedge as a cash flow hedge, which is a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability. For a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Net cash settlements on derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in interest income or interest expense, based on the item being hedged.

Index

The Corporation formally documented the risk-management objective and the strategy for undertaking hedge transactions at the inception of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes linking the fair value of cash flow hedge to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Corporation formally assessed, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instrument used is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items.

When a cash flow hedge is discontinued but the hedged cash flows or forecasted transactions are still expected to occur, gains or losses that would be accumulated in other comprehensive income are amortized into earnings over the same periods in which the hedged transactions will affect earnings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”. This ASU provides additional guidance for companies when determining whether a loan modification constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. This ASU also provides additional disclosure requirements. The guidance on identifying and disclosing troubled debt restructurings is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and applies retroactively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the year. The guidance on measuring the impairment of a receivable restructured in a troubled debt restructuring is effective on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This ASU represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“the Boards”) on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Boards and their staffs, reflected in ASU 2011-04, have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair value.” The Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments of this ASU are to be applied prospectively. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. This ASU provides that an entity that reports items of other comprehensive income has the option to present comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is allowed. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

At September 30, 2011 there were no securities in a continuous loss position for 12 months or longer. The Corporation’s unrealized losses are primarily due to the changes in interest rates and other market conditions. These securities have not been considered other than temporarily impaired as scheduled principal and interest payments have been made and management anticipates collecting the entire principal balance as scheduled. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in market conditions, and not credit quality, and because the Corporation does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Corporation had $11.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of loans whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings. Of these loans, $7.3 million and $130,000 were performing in accordance with their new terms at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The remaining troubled debt restructures are reported as nonaccrual loans. Specific reserves of $59,000 have been allocated for the troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2011. No reserves were deemed necessary at December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Corporation has not committed any additional funds to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans primarily represent an extension of the maturity date at terms more favorable than the current market terms for new debt with similar risk, including a lower interest rate. Many of the

Index

modifications represent the term out of previous lines of credit that were not renewed. Modifications involving an extension of the maturity date were for periods ranging from 3 months to 15 years.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the periods indicated:

	For the three months ended September 30, 2011						For the nine months ended September 30, 2011

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $27,000 and $159,000, respectively. There were no charge offs in 2011 related to these troubled debt restructurings.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There are no trouble debt restructurings that have defaulted since modification in 2011.

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

Special Mention – A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention, which, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. While potentially weak, the borrower is currently marginally acceptable and loss of principal or interest is not presently envisioned.

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

Doubtful – A doubtful loan has all weaknesses inherent to those classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable or improbable. The likelihood of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors, an estimated loss is deferred until a more exact status can be determined.

Index

Loss – A loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance as an asset is not warranted. This classification does not necessarily mean that an asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off a basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and based on the most recent analysis performed at those times, the risk category of loans by class is as follows:

For residential real estate and consumer loan segments, the Corporation also evaluates credit quality based on payment activity. The following table presents the recorded investment in residential real estate and consumer loans based on payment activity as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. For purposes of the following table, Nonperforming means loans that are 30 days or more past due:

Note 4. Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Advances

On August 19, 2011 the Corporation refinanced borrowings with the FHLB in the amount of $15 million. The FHLB advances repaid had a blended rate of 3.30% and an average life of 1.8 years. The new borrowings have a blended stated rate of 1.67% and an average life of 4.0 year. In connection with the repayment, the Corporation incurred a prepayment penalty of $814,000. The prepayment penalty is being amortized into earnings over the life of the new borrowings resulting in an effective interest rate for the borrowings of 2.75%.

Note 5. Interest Rate Swap

The Corporation utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

Interest Rate Swap Designated as Cash Flow Hedge: During the second quarter of 2009, the Corporation entered into a swap with an effective date of March 17, 2010. An interest rate swap with a notional amount of $7 million was designated as a cash flow hedge of the subordinated debentures and was determined to be fully effective during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. As such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. Therefore, the aggregate fair value of the swap is recorded in other assets (liabilities) with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedge no longer be considered effective. The Corporation expects the hedge to remain fully effective during the remaining term of the swap. As of September 30, 2011, the interest rate swap is secured by investment securities with a fair value of $1,023,000.

Summary information about the interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge as of September 30, 2011 is as follows:

Notional amount		$7,000,000
Pay rate		7.00%
Receive rate		3 month LIBOR plus 2.95%
Maturity		March 17, 2016
Fair value		($931,000)

The net expense recorded on the swap transaction totaled $68,000 and $200,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and is reported as a component of interest expense – borrowed money. The net expense recorded on the swap transaction totaled $63,000 and $140,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

The fair value of the interest rate swap of ($931,000) and ($664,000) at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, was included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The following table presents the after tax net gains (losses) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and the Consolidated Statements of Income relating to the cash flow derivative instruments for the periods indicated.

Note 6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

The fair values of investment securities are 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 inputs).

The interest rate swaps are reported at fair values obtained from brokers who utilize internal models with observable market data inputs to estimate the values of these instruments (Level 2 inputs).

The Corporation measures impairment of collateralized loans based on the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, incorporating assumptions that experienced parties might use in estimating the value of such collateral (Level 3 inputs).

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Securities available for sale and held to maturity – The methods for determining fair values were described previously.

FHLB-NY stock – It is not practicable to determine the fair value of stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB-NY”) due to restrictions placed on the transferability of the stock.

Net loans – Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as residential and commercial mortgages, commercial and other installment. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting cash flows using estimated marked discount rates which reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans.

Accrued interest receivable – The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Deposits – The fair value of deposits, with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of the certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using marked discount rates which reflect interest rate risk inherent in the certificates of deposit.

FHLB-NY advances – With respect to the FHLB-NY borrowings, the carrying amount of the borrowings which mature in one day approximates fair value. For borrowings with a longer maturity, the fair value is based on the discounted value of cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using market discount rates which reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the term borrowings.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase – The carrying value approximates fair value due to the relatively short time before maturity.

Subordinated debenture – The fair value of the subordinated debenture is based on the discounted value of cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using market rates which reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the debenture.

Accrued interest payable – The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Interest rate swap – The methods for determining fair values were described previously.

Commitments to extend credit – The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of the counter-parties. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the fair value of such commitments were not material.

Limitations

The preceding fair value estimates were made at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 based on pertinent market data and relevant information on the financial instruments. These estimates do not include any premiums or discounts that could result from an offer to sell at one time the Corporation’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument or category thereof. Since no market exists for a substantial portion of the Corporation’s financial instruments, fair value estimates were necessarily based on judgments with respect to future expected loss experience, current economic

Index

conditions, risk assessments of various financial instruments, and other factors. Given the subjective nature of these estimates, the uncertainties surrounding them and the matters of significant judgment that must be applied, these fair value estimates cannot be calculated with precision. Modifications in such assumptions could meaningfully alter these estimates.

Since these fair value approximations were made solely for on and off balance sheet financial instruments at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no attempt was made to estimate the value of anticipated future business. Furthermore, certain tax implications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses could have a substantial impact on these fair value estimates and have not been incorporated into the estimates.

Note 7. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the average daily number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to that of basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potential dilutive shares of common stock were issued.

The following reconciles the income available to common shareholders (numerator) and the weighted average common stock outstanding (denominator) for both basic and diluted earnings per share.

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share	$	0.06	$	0.03	$	0.19	$	(0.05	)

For periods in which a loss is reported, the impact of dilutive stock options and common stock warrants is not considered as the result would be antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, stock options to purchase 64,728 average shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share of common stock because they were antidilutive. Stock options to purchase average shares of common stock of 71,613 and 71,922 were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, because they were antidilutive. The U.S. Treasury’s warrant to purchase 133,475 average shares of common stock in both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 was not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share because it was antidilutive.

Note 8. Preferred Stock

On September 1, 2011, in exchange for issuing 15,000 shares of Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the “Series B Preferred Shares”), having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, the Corporation received $15.0 million as part of the United States Treasury Department’s Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) program. The SBLF is a $30 billion fund established under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 that encourages lending to small businesses by providing capital to qualified community banks with assets of less than $10 billion.

Index

Capital Purchase Program (the “Capital Purchase Program”),, for a purchase price of $10,022,222, including accrued but unpaid dividends through the date of repurchase.

The Series B Preferred Shares pay a non-cumulative quarterly dividend in arrears. The Corporation accrues the preferred dividends as earned over the period the Series B Preferred Shares are outstanding.

The dividend rate can fluctuate on a quarterly basis during the first ten quarters during which the Series B Preferred Shares are outstanding, based upon changes in the level of “Qualified Small Business Lending” (QSBL - as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). In general, the dividend rate decreases as the level of the Bank’s QSBL increases. Based upon the Bank’s level of QSBL over a baseline level, the dividend rate for the initial dividend period was 1%. The dividend rate for future dividend periods will be set based upon changes in the level of QSBL as compared to the baseline level. Such dividend rate may vary from 1% to 5% per annum for the second through tenth dividend periods and from 1% to 7% for the eleventh through the first half of the nineteenth dividend periods, to reflect the amount of change in the Bank’s level of QBSL. In the event that the Series B Preferred Shares remain outstanding for more than four and one half years, the dividend rate will be fixed at 9%. Such dividends are not cumulative but the Corporation may only declare and pay dividends on its common stock (or any other equity securities junior to the Series B Preferred Stock) if it has declared and paid dividends on the Series B Preferred Shares for the current dividend period and will be subject to other restrictions on its ability to repurchase or redeem other securities.

Subject to regulatory approval, the Corporation may redeem the Series B Preferred Shares at any time. The Series B Preferred Shares are includable in Tier I capital for regulatory capital.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on October 26, 2011, the Corporation completed the repurchase of a warrant held by the United States Treasury Department. The 10-year warrant was issued on January 29, 2009 as part of the Corporation’s participation in the Capital Purchase Program, and entitled the Treasury to purchase 133,475 shares of Stewardship Financial Corporation stock at an exercise price of $11.24 per share. The Corporation paid a total of $107,398 to the Treasury to repurchase the warrant.

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

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward looking statements” with respect to Stewardship Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which forward looking statements may be identified by the use of such words as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “plan,” “estimate,” and “potential.” Examples of forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Corporation that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates. These factors include: changes in general, economic and market conditions, legislative and regulatory conditions, or the development of an interest rate environment that adversely affects the Corporation’s interest rate spread or other income anticipated from operations and investments. As used in this Form 10-Q, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Stewardship Financial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiary, Atlantic Stewardship Bank, depending on the context.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as disclosures found elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are based upon the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires the Corporation to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Note 1 to the Corporation’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Stewardship Financial Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2011 (the “2010 Annual Report”) contains a summary of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies. Management believes the Corporation’s policy with respect to the methodology for the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments, which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could materially impact results of operations. This critical policy and its application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

The allowance for loan losses is based upon management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance, including an assessment of known and inherent risks in the portfolio, giving consideration to the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, level of delinquencies, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability may not be assured, the existence and estimated net realizable value of any underlying collateral and guarantees securing the loans, and current economic and market conditions. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate, which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Corporation to make additional provisions for loan losses based upon information available to them at the time of their examination. Furthermore, the majority of the Corporation’s loans are secured by real estate in the State of New Jersey. Accordingly, the collectability of a substantial portion of the carrying value of the Corporation’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in local market conditions and may be adversely affected should real estate values decline or the northern New Jersey area experience adverse economic changes. Future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Corporation’s control.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $18.1 million, or 2.6%, to $706.2 million at September 30, 2011 from $688.1 million at December 31, 2010. Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.8 million to $23.7 million at September 30, 2011 from $20.0 million at December 31, 2010, reflecting planned additional liquidity. Securities available for sale increased $24.5 million to $163.1 million while securities held to maturity decreased $5.5 million to $39.9 million. Net loans increased $4.8 million from $443.2 million at December 31, 2010 to $448.1 million at September 30, 2011. Increases due to new loans originated were partially offset by a $3.9 million net increase in the allowance for loan losses and regular principal payments and payoffs during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Loans held for sale totaled $1.2 million at September 30, 2011 and reflect mortgage loan applications which had funded and were pending sale. The balance at September 30, 2011 reflects a decrease from $9.8 million at December 31, 2011. Rising mortgage interest rates during the early part of 2011 have been followed by falling mortgage interest rates, contributing to an increase in loan application volume.

Index

Deposits totaled $587.9 million at September 30, 2011, an increase of $12.3 million, or 2.1%, from $575.6 million at December 31, 2010. The growth in deposits consisted of a $18.4 million increase in noninterest-bearing accounts partially offset by a $6.1 million decrease in interest-bearing accounts.

FHLB – NY advances were $33.0 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $36.0 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease in these borrowings was the result of an increase in deposits which was used to pay down maturing advances.

Results of Operations

General

The Corporation reported net income of $578,000, or $0.06 diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net income of $340,000, or a $0.03 per diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Corporation reported net income of $1.6 million compared to net income of $146,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The earnings during the first nine months of 2010 reflect a higher provision for loan loss. After dividends on preferred stock and accretion, the net income available to the common shareholders was $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2011, or $0.19 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $266,000, or $0.05 per diluted common share, during the same period in 2010.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $6.3 million and $18.6 million, respectively, compared to $6.0 million and $18.1 million recorded in the prior year periods. The increases in the current year periods are primarily due to a decline in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. The net interest rate spread and net yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were 3.61% and 3.87%, respectively, compared to 3.53% and 3.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the net interest rate spread and net yield on interest earning assets were 3.61% and 3.86%, respectively, compared to 3.56% and 3.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The net yield on interest earning assets during the current year periods reflects a decline in loan interest rates and yields on securities offset by a decline in the interest rates on deposits and borrowings.

The following table reflects the components of the Corporation’s net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 including: (1) average assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity based on average daily balances, (2) interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, (3) average yields earned on interest-earning assets and average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, and (4) net yield on interest-earning assets. Nontaxable income from investment securities and loans is presented on a tax-equivalent basis assuming a statutory tax rate of 34% for the periods presented. This was accomplished by adjusting non-taxable income upward to make it equivalent to the level of taxable income required to earn the same amount after taxes.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, total interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased $71,000 to $8.161 million when compared to the same prior year period. The decrease was due to a decrease in yields on interest-

Index

earning assets partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets. Total interest income on a tax equivalent basis decreased $959,000 to $24.253 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 3.8%, compared to the same period for 2010. Consistent with the three month period, the decrease in the current nine month period is due to a decrease in the overall yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by an increase in the average interest-earning assets. The average rate earned on interest-earning assets was 4.91% and 4.96% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to an average rate of 5.18% and 5.32% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The decline in the asset yield reflects the effect of a prolonged low interest rate environment as well as the impact of nonaccrual loans. Average interest-earning assets increased $22.0 million and $20.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same prior year periods.

Interest paid on deposits and borrowed money decreased $413,000, or 19.2%, to $1.732 million and $1.369 million, or 20.3%, to $5.370 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods for 2010. The declines are due to general decreases in rates paid on deposits and borrowings, partially offset by increases in average interest-bearing liabilities. The average balance of total interest-bearing deposits and borrowings increased $9.3 million and $17.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, from the comparable 2010 periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the total cost for interest-bearing liabilities declined to 1.30% representing a 35 basis point decline when compared to the same prior year period. Costs of deposits and borrowed money decreased 41 basis points from 1.76% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 to 1.35% for the comparable period in 2010.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Corporation maintains an allowance for loan losses at a level considered by management to be adequate to cover the probable incurred losses associated with its loan portfolio. On an ongoing basis, management analyzes the adequacy of this allowance by considering the nature and volume of the Corporation’s loan activity, financial condition of the borrower, fair market value of the underlying collateral, and changes in general market conditions. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are charged to operations in the appropriate period. Actual loan losses, net of recoveries, serve to reduce the allowance. The appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate losses may vary from current estimates.

The loan loss provision totaled $2.330 million and $5.920 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $1.500 million and $7.755 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Nonaccrual loans of $24.4 million at September 30, 2011 reflected an increase from $22.5 million of nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2010. The allowance for loan losses related to the impaired loans increased from $1,644,000 at December 31, 2010 to $3,209,000 at September 30, 2011. During the first nine months of 2011, the Corporation charged off loans totaling $2.1 million and recovered $33,000 in previously charged off loans compared to $5.4 million and $87,000, respectively, during the same period in 2010. For 2011, $795,000 of charge offs relate to one loan relationship. Approximately $2.1 million of the charge offs in 2010 were related to a loan to one borrower.

The current period loan loss provision primarily is indicative of continuing economic conditions that have contributed to an increase in loan delinquencies and the softness in the real estate market. The Corporation monitors its loan portfolio and intends to continue to provide for loan loss reserves based on its ongoing periodic review of the loan portfolio and general market conditions.

See “Asset Quality” section below for a summary of the allowance for loan losses and nonperforming assets.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.4 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $759,000 and $3.0 million for the comparable prior year periods, respectively. Gains on sales of mortgage loans totaled $245,000 and $835,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, an increase from $94,000 and $215,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The current year periods reflect the increased mortgage activity resulting from lower mortgage loan interest rates in the 2011 periods and the Corporation’s promotion of a no-cost closing program. Current year noninterest income includes gains on calls and sales of securities of $454,000 and $475,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. There were no gains on calls and sales of securities for the comparable prior year quarter, but $802,000 of gains on calls and sales of securities were realized in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Index

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $4.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively. For the comparable prior year periods, noninterest expenses were $4.6 million and $13.2 million, respectively. Noninterest expenses in the current year periods reflects higher salary and employee benefits expense, reflective of the increase in mortgage loan activity and associated with the management of nonperforming assets. In addition, due to increased profitability, the accruals for benefits such as the Corporation’s profit sharing plan are higher in the current year periods when compared with the prior year periods. Partially offsetting these expense increases is a decrease in the FDIC insurance premiums reflecting a recent change in the quarterly assessment base.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $113,000 and $432,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. In the prior year, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Corporation recorded income tax expense of $261,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, income taxes represented a benefit of $35,000. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 of 16.4% and 20.87%, respectively, reflects a decrease in our overall projected effective tax rate as a result of our tax exempt income representing a larger percentage of pretax income due to lower projected earnings. The tax benefit for the prior year to date period reflects the utilization of a capital loss carryforward to offset the taxability of a portion of the gain on calls and sales of securities. In addition, the tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 reflects a decrease in our overall projected effective tax rate as a result of our tax exempt income representing a larger percentage of pretax income due to lower projected earnings.

Asset Quality

The Corporation’s principal earning asset is its loan portfolio. Inherent in the lending function is the risk of deterioration in the borrowers’ ability to repay loans under existing loan agreements. Because of this risk, reserves are maintained to absorb probable incurred loan losses. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management of the Corporation considers the risks inherent in its loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of its loan activities, along with general economic and real estate market conditions. Although management attempts to establish a reserve sufficient to offset probable incurred losses in the portfolio, changes in economic conditions, regulatory policies and borrowers’ performance could require future changes to the allowance.

Risk elements include nonaccrual loans, past due and restructured loans, potential problem loans, loan concentrations and other real estate owned. The following table shows the composition of nonperforming assets at the end of the last four quarters:

	September 30,			June 30,			March 31,			December 31,
	2011			2011			2011			2010

Nonaccrual loans (1)	$	24,422		$	23,834		$	24,010		$	22,500
Loans past due 90 days or more and accruing (2)		2,589			2,342			—			—
Total nonperforming loans		27,011			26,176			24,010			22,500

Other real estate owned		434			275			313			615
Total nonperforming assets	$	27,445		$	26,451		$	24,323		$	23,115

Performing restructured loans (3)	$	7,339		$	3,527		$	120		$	130

Allowance for loan losses	$	12,389		$	11,230		$	9,874		$	8,490

Nonperforming loans to total gross loans		5.87	%		5.59	%		5.23	%		4.98	%
Nonperforming assets to total assets		3.89	%		3.78	%		3.47	%		3.36	%
Allowance for loan losses to total gross loans		2.69	%		2.40	%		2.15	%		1.88	%
Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans		45.87	%		42.90	%		41.12	%		37.73	%

(1) Generally represents loans as to which the payment of principal or interest is in arrears for a period of more than 90 days. Interest previously accrued on these loans and not yet paid is reversed and charged against income during the current period. Interest earned thereafter is only included in income to the extent that it is received in cash.

Index

(2) Represents loans as to which payment of principal or interest is contractually past due 90 days or more but which are currently accruing income at the contractually stated rates. A determination is made to continue accruing income on those loans which are sufficiently collateralized and on which management believes all interest and principal owed will be collected.

(3) At September 30, 2011, restructured loans include $11.7 million of commercial and commercial mortgage loans, which are troubled debt restructured loans and considered impaired. Any restructured loans that are on nonaccrual status are only reported in nonaccrual loans and not also in restructured loans.

A loan is generally placed on nonaccrual when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The identification of nonaccrual loans reflects careful monitoring of the loan portfolio. The Corporation has been diligent and proactive in identifying and dealing with problem credits and is focused on resolving the nonperforming loans and mitigating future losses in the portfolio. All delinquent loans continue to be reviewed by management on a biweekly basis.

The nonaccrual loans are comprised of 76 loans, primarily commercial real estate loans, commercial loans and construction loans. While the Corporation maintains strong underwriting requirements, the number and amount of nonaccrual loans is reflective of the prolonged weakened economic conditions and the corresponding effects it has had on our commercial borrowers and the current real estate environment. Certain loans, including restructured loans, are current, but in accordance with applicable guidance and cautious review, management has continued to keep these loans on nonaccrual.

Since December 31, 2010, nonaccrual loans have increased $1.9 million to $24.4 million at the end of the most recent quarter. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans increased to 45.87% at September 30, 2011 from 37.73% at December 31, 2010. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans is reflective of detailed analysis and the probable incurred losses we have identified with these nonperforming loans. In calculating this metric, the effect of an increase in the allowance for loan losses has been offset by an increase in loans past due 90 days or more.

At September 30, 2011, the $2.6 million of loans past due 90 days or more and accruing represent two loans for which the Corporation received full payoffs subsequent to quarter end, including all accrued interest and principal outstanding.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Corporation had $11.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of loans whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings. Of these loans, $7.3 million and $130,000 were performing in accordance with their new terms at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The remaining troubled debt restructured loans are reported as nonaccrual loans. Specific reserves of $59,000 have been allocated for the troubled debt restructured loans at September 30, 2011. No reserves were deemed necessary at December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Corporation has not committed any additional funds to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructured loans.

Included in performing restructured loans as of September 30, 2011 is a loan for $2.3 million for which the estate of our borrower was provided with a forbearance to allow time to market for sale the underlying commercial real estate collateral. There is a signed contract for the sale of the property. Upon closing of the sale transaction, the Corporation will collect all outstanding principal and accrued interest owed under the loan. The September 30, 2011 balance in performing restructured loans also includes two loans to a related borrower for $1.1 million. While these loans are current under their restructured terms, because of the below market rate of interest, these loans will continue to be reflected as restructured loans in accordance with accounting practices.

Evaluation of all nonperforming loans includes the updating of appraisals and specific evaluation of such loans to determine estimated cash flows from business and/or collateral. We have assessed these loans for collectability and considered, among other things, the borrower’s ability to repay, the value of the underlying collateral, and other market conditions to ensure the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses. The majority of our nonperforming loans are secured by real estate collateral. While our nonperforming loans have remained elevated from historic levels since March 31, 2010, the underlying collateral coverage for a considerable portion of the nonperforming loans supports the significant collection of our principal.

At September 30, 2011 the level of loans past due 30-89 days was $3.7 million, relatively comparable to $3.3 million at June 30, 2011 and an improvement from $12.4 million at December 31, 2010. The Corporation will continue to monitor delinquencies for early identification of new problem loans. As such, the entire commercial construction portfolio is being actively monitored.

The Corporation maintains an allowance for loan losses at a level considered by management to be adequate to cover the probable incurred losses associated with its loan portfolio. The Corporation’s policy with respect to the methodology for the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based upon management’s

Index

evaluation of the known and inherent risks in the portfolio, consideration to the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, the level of delinquencies, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability may not be assured, the existence and estimated net realizable value of any underlying collateral and guarantees securing the loans, and current economic and market conditions.

In establishing the allowance for loan losses, the Corporation utilizes a two tier approach by: (1) identifying problem loans and allocating specific loss allowances on such loans and (2) establishing a general valuation allowance on the remainder of its loan portfolio. The Corporation maintains a loan review system that allows for a periodic review of its loan portfolio and the early identification of potential problem loans. Such a system takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, size of loans, type of collateral and financial condition of the borrowers.

Allocations of specific loan loss allowances are established for identified loans based on a review of various information including appraisals of underlying collateral. Appraisals are performed by independent licensed appraisers to determine the value of impaired, collateral-dependent loans. Appraisals are periodically updated to ascertain any further decline in value. General loan loss allowances are based upon a combination of factors including, but not limited to, actual loss experience, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and management’s judgment.

Primarily as a result of the continuing higher level of nonperforming loans, the Corporation continues to record an elevated provision for loan losses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the provision for loan losses was $2.330 million and $5.920 million, respectively. The prior year provision for loan losses was $1.500 million and $7.755 million for the three and nine months ended September 30 2010, respectively. The total allowance for loan losses increased to 2.69% of total loans from a comparable ratio of 2.40% at June 30, 2011 and 1.88% at December 31, 2010.

When it is probable that some portion or all of a loan balance will not be collected, that amount is charged off as a loss against the allowance for loan losses. After net chargeoffs of $1.2 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, the allowance for loan losses totaled $12.6 million as of September 30, 2011 compared to $11.2 million and $8.5 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In general, the chargeoffs reflect partial writedowns on nonaccrual loans due to the evaluation of market values of the underlying real estate collateral in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 310-40. While we have taken the conservative position of partial and full chargeoffs on loans, we continue to aggressively pursue collection, including legal action.

As of September 30, 2011, there were $27.4 million of other loans not included in the above table, compared to $28.5 million and $23.9 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, where credit conditions of borrowers caused management to have concerns about the possibility of the borrowers not complying with the present terms and conditions of repayment and which may result in disclosure of such loans as nonperforming at a future date. These loans have been considered by management in conjunction with the analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

The Corporation’s lending activities are concentrated in loans secured by real estate located in northern New Jersey. Accordingly, the collectability of a substantial portion of the Corporation’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in real estate market conditions in northern New Jersey.

Capital Adequacy

The Corporation is subject to capital adequacy guidelines promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”). The Bank is subject to similar capital adequacy requirements imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The FRB has issued regulations to define the adequacy of capital based upon the sensitivity of assets and off-balance sheet exposures to risk factors. Four categories of risk weights (0%, 20%, 50%, and 100%) were established to be applied to different types of balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet exposures. The aggregate of the risk-weighted items (risk-based assets) is the denominator of the ratio; the numerator of the ratio is risk-based capital. Under the regulations, risk-based capital has been classified into two categories. Tier 1 capital includes common and qualifying perpetual preferred shareholders’ equity less goodwill. Tier 2 capital includes mandatory convertible debt, allowance for loan losses, subject to certain limitations, and certain subordinated and term debt securities. Total qualifying capital consists of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital; however; the amount of Tier 2 capital may not exceed the amount of Tier 1 capital. At September 30, 2011, the minimum risk-based capital requirements to be considered adequately capitalized were 4% for Tier 1 capital and 8% for total capital.

Index

Federal banking regulators have also adopted leverage capital guidelines to supplement the risk-based measures. The leverage ratio is determined by dividing Tier 1 capital as defined under the risk-based guidelines by average total assets (non risk-adjusted) for the preceding quarter. At September 30, 2011 the minimum leverage ratio requirement to be considered well capitalized was 4%. The following table summarizes the capital ratios for the Corporation and the Bank at September 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Corporation’s primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and funds provided from operations. While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed securities amortization and maturities of investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flow and prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Corporation’s liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities.

The primary source of cash from operating activities is net income. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in interest-earning cash accounts or in short-term investments, such as federal funds sold.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.8 million during the first nine months of 2011. Net operating and financing activities provided $15.9 million and $13.7 million, respectively, while investing activities used $25.8 million.

We anticipate that the Corporation will have sufficient funds available to meet its current contractual commitments. Should we need temporary funding, the Corporation has the ability to borrow overnight with the FHLB-NY. The overall borrowing capacity is contingent on available collateral to secure borrowings and the ability to purchase additional activity-based capital stock of the FHLB-NY. In addition, the Corporation has available overnight variable repricing lines of credit with other correspondent banks totaling $16.0 million on an unsecured basis.

With respect to the payment of dividends on common stock, the Corporation has historically paid a quarterly cash dividend, however management recognizes that the payment of future dividends could be impacted by losses or reduced earnings and the Corporation cannot assure the payment of future dividends.

Using proceeds of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares, the Corporation simultaneously repurchased all 10,000 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, liquidation amount $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) previously issued under the United States Treasury Department’s Troubled Assets Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (the “Capital Purchase Program”), for a purchase price of $10,013,888.89, including accrued

but unpaid dividends through the date of repurchase. (See Note 7 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Series B Preferred Shares.)

Subsequent to the end of the Corporation’s third fiscal quarter, on October 26, 2011. The Corporation completed the repurchase of the warrant held by the United States Treasury Department. The 10-year warrant was issued on January 29, 2009 as part of the Corporation’s participation in the Capital Purchase Program and entitled the United States Treasury to purchase 133,475 shares of the Corporation’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.24 per share. The Corporation paid a total of $107,398 to the United States Treasury to repurchase the warrant.
