STANDARD AVB FINANCIAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2021
(1) Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Standard AVB Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Standard Bank, PaSB (the “Bank”), and Westmoreland Investment Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Standard AVB Financial Corp. owns all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank.
(2) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which, in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements and to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. The unaudited consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Standard AVB Financial Corp. at and for the year ended December 31, 2020 contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2021. The results for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or any future interim period. Certain amounts in the 2020 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 presentation format. These reclassifications had no effect on stockholders’ equity or net income.
(3) Proposed Merger with Dollar
On September 25, 2020 the Company, and Dollar Mutual Bancorp (“Dollar”) announced they had entered into a definitive agreement under which Dollar will acquire the Company in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $
(4) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

(5) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Pending Adoption
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This Update is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of the Update is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be effected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. With certain exceptions, transition to the new requirements will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). This Update defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers, and all other companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. The Company had initially worked with a third party to evaluate the various CECL methodologies and decided to utilize the vintage method. Given the deferral of the effective date, the Company has delayed further efforts to determine what impact it will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.

STANDARD AVB FINANCIAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2021
Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, including not-for-profit entities that are adopting the amendments in this Update should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), which deferred the effective date for ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation — Retirement Benefits (Topic 715-20). This Update amends ASC 715 to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The Update eliminates the requirement to disclose the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as part of net periodic benefit cost over the next year. The Update also removes the disclosure requirements for the effects of a one-percentage-point change on the assumed health care costs and the effect of this change in rates on service cost, interest cost and the benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. This Update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, and must be applied on a retrospective basis. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This Update addresses customers’ accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and also adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This Update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The amendments in this Update can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), which deferred the effective date for ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, which addressed issues lessors sometimes encounter. Specifically addressed in this Update were issues related to 1) determining the fair value of the underlying asset by the lessor that are not manufacturers or dealers (generally financial institutions and captive finance companies), and 2) lessors that are depository and lending institutions should classify principal and payments received under sales-type and direct financing leases within investing activities in the cash flow statement. The ASU also exempts both lessees and lessors from having to provide the interim disclosures required by ASC 250-10-50-3 in the fiscal year in which a company adopts the new leases standard. The amendments addressing the two lessor accounting issues are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which affects a variety of topics in the Codification and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses amendments are effective for SEC registrants for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other public business entities, the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and for all other entities, the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. For entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2017-12, the effective date is as of the beginning of the first annual period beginning after the issuance of this Update. Topic 825, Financial Instruments amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). This Update defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers and all other companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Furthermore, the ASU provides a one-year deferral of the effective dates of the ASUs on derivatives and hedging for companies that are not public business entities. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, Topic 326, which allows entities to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost upon adoption of the new credit losses standard. To be eligible for the transition election, the existing financial asset must otherwise be both within the scope of the new credit losses standard and eligible for the applying the fair value option in ASC 825-10.3. The election must be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is not available for either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities. For entities that elect the fair value option, the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the financial assets would be recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the date an entity adopted ASU 2016-13. Changes in fair value of that financial asset would subsequently be reported in current earnings. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13, the effective dates and transition requirements are the same as those in ASU 2016-13. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2019-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted once ASU 2016-13 has been adopted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). The Update defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers and all other companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, to clarify its new credit impairment guidance in ASC 326, based on implementation issues raised by stakeholders. This Update clarified, among other things, that expected recoveries are to be included in the allowance for credit losses for these financial assets; an accounting policy election can be made to adjust the effective interest rate for existing troubled debt restructurings based on the prepayment assumptions instead of the prepayment assumptions applicable immediately prior to the restructuring event; and extends the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest receivable from all additional relevant disclosures involving amortized cost basis. The effective dates in this Update are the same as those applicable for ASU 2019-10. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The segments of the Bank’s loan portfolio are disaggregated to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. The three segments are: real estate, commercial business and other. The real estate loan segment is further disaggregated into three classes. One-to-four family residential mortgages (including residential construction loans) include loans to individuals secured by residential properties having maturities up to
There are various risks associated with lending to each portfolio segment. One-to-four family residential mortgage loans are typically longer-term loans which generally entail greater interest rate risk than consumer and commercial loans. Under certain economic conditions, housing values may decline, which may increase the risk that the collateral values are insufficient. Commercial real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than loans secured by residences. This greater risk is due to several factors including but not limited to concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effect of general economic conditions on income producing properties and the increased difficulty in monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of commercial real estate loans is typically dependent upon successful operation of the related real estate project. If the cash flow from the project is reduced by such occurrences as leases not being obtained, renewed or not entirely fulfilled, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. Commercial business loans are primarily secured by business assets, inventories and accounts receivable which present collateral risk. The repayment of the commercial business loan is dependent upon the ongoing cash flow of the operating entity and the ability of a guarantor to support the company. The other loan segment generally has higher interest rates and shorter terms than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, however, they can have additional credit risk due to the type of collateral securing the loan.

Management evaluates individual loans in all of the commercial segments for possible impairment if the relationship is greater than $
Once the decision has been made that a loan is impaired, the determination of whether a specific allocation of the allowance is necessary is calculated by comparing the recorded investment in the loan to the fair value of the loan using one of three methods: (a) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (b) the loan’s observable market price; or (c) the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. The appropriate method is selected on a loan-by-loan basis, with management primarily utilizing the fair value of collateral method. The evaluation of the need and amount of a specific allocation of the allowance and whether a loan can be removed from impairment status is made on a quarterly basis. The Company’s policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans does not differ from its overall policy for interest recognition.
Consistent with accounting and regulatory guidance, the Company recognizes a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and the Bank, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that would not normally be considered. Regardless of the form of concession granted, the Company's objective in offering a TDR is to increase the probability of repayment of the borrower's loan. The Company did

Management uses a nine-point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first five categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently performing but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the collection of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans 90 days or more past due are considered Substandard. Any loan that has a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses and is in the process of liquidation of the collateral is placed in the Doubtful category. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.
To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as delinquency, bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolio at origination. Commercial relationships are periodically reviewed internally for credit deterioration or improvement in order to confirm that the relationship is appropriately risk rated. The Audit Committee of the Company also engages an external consultant to conduct loan reviews. The scope of the annual external engagement, which is performed through semi-annual loan reviews, includes reviewing approximately the top

An allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio. The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience, and the amount of non-performing loans.
The Bank’s methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (discussed above) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance. The total of the two components represents the Bank’s ALL.

March 31, 2021
Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate. For general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio. These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualitative factors. Management tracks the historical net charge-off activity for the loan segments which may be adjusted for qualitative factors. Pass rated credits are segregated from criticized credits for the application of qualitative factors. Loans in the criticized pools, which possess certain qualities or characteristics that may lead to collection and loss issues, are closely monitored by management and subject to additional qualitative factors.
Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience. The additional factors are evaluated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources and include national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, depth and ability of management; effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint.
Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL. Management utilizes an internally developed methodology to track and apply the various components of the allowance.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there was (1) an increase in the provision for the one-to-four family residential and construction loan class primarily due to increases in the qualitative factors related to the percentage change in both loan balances and the volume and severity of past due loans compared to the previous quarter; (2) a decrease in the provision for the commercial real estate and construction loan class primarily due to decreases in the qualitative factors related to the changes in loan balances, the volume and severity of past due loans and loan concentrations partially offset by additional reserves established for the hotel loan segment and impaired loans; (3) an increase in the provision for the commercial business loan class primarily due to an increase in the qualitative factor related to the percentage change in loan balances compared to the prior quarter partially offset by a decrease in the qualitative factor related to balance changes in loan concentrations; (4) an increase in the provision for the home equity loans and lines of credit loan class primarily due to an increase in the qualitative factor related to the percentage changes in loan balances during the period.
The following tables summarize the activity in the primary segments of the ALL for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 as well as the allowance required for loans individually and collectively evaluated for impairment as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

The ALL is based on estimates and actual losses will vary from current estimates. Management believes that the granularity of the homogeneous pools and the related historical loss ratios and other qualitative factors, as well as the consistency in the application of assumptions, result in an ALL that is representative of the risk found in the components of the loan portfolio at any given date. In addition, federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Bank to make changes to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to Management. Based on Management’s comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, they believe the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

(14) Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available. A contractually binding sales price also provides reliable evidence of fair value.
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement; inputs to the valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which significant assumptions are not observable in the market; or inputs to the valuation methodology that requires significant management judgment or estimation, some of which may be internally developed.
Management maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value measurements. Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications of the Company’s assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Investment, Mortgage-Backed and Equity Securities
Fair values of investment and mortgage-backed securities were primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. This service provides pricing information by utilizing evaluated pricing models supported with market

data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data from market research publications. Level 1 securities are comprised of equity securities. As quoted prices were available, unadjusted, for identical securities in active markets, these securities were classified as Level 1 measurements. Level 2 securities were primarily comprised of debt securities issued by government agencies, states and municipalities, corporations, as well as mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies. Fair values were estimated primarily by obtaining quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or through the use of pricing models. In cases where there may be limited or less transparent information provided by the Company’s third-party pricing service, fair value may be estimated by the use of secondary pricing services or through the use of non-binding third-party broker quotes.
On a quarterly basis, management reviews the pricing information received from the Company’s third-party pricing service. This review process includes a comparison to non-binding third-party broker quotes, as well as a review of market-related conditions impacting the information provided by the Company’s third-party pricing service. Management primarily identifies investment securities which may have traded in illiquid or inactive markets by identifying instances of a significant decrease in the volume or frequency of trades, relative to historical levels, as well as instances of a significant widening of the bid-ask spread in the brokered markets. Securities that are deemed to have been trading in illiquid or inactive markets may require the use of significant unobservable inputs. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, management did not make adjustments to prices provided by the third-party pricing service as a result of illiquid or inactive markets. On a quarterly basis, management also reviews a sample of securities priced by the Company’s third-party pricing service to review significant assumptions and valuation methodologies used. Based on this review, management determines whether the current placement of the security in the fair value hierarchy is appropriate or whether transfers may be warranted.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides further detail on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. This section should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The Company’s critical accounting policies involving the significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2021 have remained unchanged from the disclosures presented in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2021.
Standard AVB Financial Corp. is a Maryland corporation that provides a wide array of retail and commercial financial products and services to individuals, families and businesses through 17 banking offices located in the Pennsylvania counties of Allegheny, Westmoreland and Bedford and Allegany County, Maryland through its wholly-owned subsidiary Standard Bank.
Proposed Merger with Dollar
On September 25, 2020 the Company, and Dollar announced they had entered into a definitive agreement under which Dollar will acquire the Company in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $158 million. The Company’s stockholders will receive $33.00 for each share of Company common stock that they own. The transaction was approved by the Company’s stockholders on January 19, 2021 and all necessary regulatory approvals and waivers have been received. The parties expect that the propsed merger will be completed after market hours on May 28, 2021, pending the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. However, it is possible that factors outside the control of both companies could result in the merger being completed at a different time or not at all.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results of operations presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Management uses, and this exhibit contains, certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the Company’s underlying operational performance, business and performance trends, and facilitate comparisons with the performance of others in the financial service industry. Although Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance, they should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020
General. The Company’s total assets was $1.1 billion at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents increased $38.8 million, or 76.8%, net loans receivable decreased $23.3 million, or 3.2%, and investment and mortgage-backed securities decreased $2.1 million, or 1.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $38.8 million, or 76.8%, to $89.3 million at March 31, 2021 from $50.5 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily the result of a $23.9 million increase in deposits and a $22.7 decrease in loans partially offset by a $10.8 decrease in FHLB advances.
Investment Securities. Investment securities available for sale decreased $1.6 million, or 1.7%, to $88.4 million at March 31, 2021 from $90.0 million at December 31, 2020. Purchases of investment securities totaled $7.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 which included $641,000 in securities purchased but not settled as of quarter end. The purchases during the period were offset by calls and maturities of $7.5 million and a $1.5 million decrease in the unrealized gain on investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Equity Securities. Equity securities available for sale were $2.6 million at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
33
Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Company’s mortgage-backed securities available for sale decreased $555,000, or 0.6%, to $95.0 million at March 31, 2021 from $95.5 million at December 31, 2020. Purchases of mortgage-backed securities totaling $14.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were offset by repayments of $8.1 million, sales of $5.7 million, and a $1.0 million decrease in the unrealized gain on mortgage-backed securities during the period.
Loans. At March 31, 2021, net loans were $711.4 million, or 66.8% of total assets, compared to $734.8 million, or 69.9% of total assets at December 31, 2020. One-to-four family residential and construction loans, commercial business loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, and other loans decreased $12.6 million or 6.6%, $7.5 million or 9.6%, $5.0 million or 5.2%, and $55,000 or 10.9%, respectively. The decreases were a result of loan payoffs and amortization exceeding loan production during the period. Commercial real estate and construction loans increased $1.9 million, or 0.5%.
Deposits. The Company accepts deposits primarily from the areas in which the Bank’s offices are located. The Company has consistently focused on building broader customer relationships and targeting small business customers to increase core deposits. The Company also relies on customer service to attract and retain deposits. The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. Deposit accounts consist of savings accounts, time deposits, money market accounts, commercial and consumer checking accounts and individual retirement accounts. Interest rates, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market interest rates, liquidity requirements and deposit growth goals.
Deposits increased $23.9 million, or 3.0%, to $833.1 million at March 31, 2021 from $809.2 million at December 31, 2020. The increase resulted from a $25.4 million, or 4.2%, increase in demand and savings accounts partially offset by a $1.5 million, or 0.8%, decrease in time deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in demand and savings accounts resulted from increases in both business and consumer products. The increases were primarily the result of inflows from several sources including additional government stimulus, second round PPP loan proceeds, and maturing time deposits. Non-interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, and interest-bearing checking accounts increased $16.7 million or 9.5%, $9.9 million or 5.8%, and $1.5 million or 1.2%, respectively. Money market accounts decreased $2.7 million, or 2.2% during the period.
Borrowings. Borrowed funds, which includes short and long-term borrowings and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, decreased by $10.8 million, or 11.7%, to $82.2 million at March 31, 2021 from $93.0 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in long-term borrowings resulting from $8.5 million in maturities and an additional $2.3 million in principal repayments. Financing lease liabilities, which are also included in long-term borrowings, were $2.9 million at March 31, 2021 and $3.0 million at December 31, 2020. There were no short-term borrowings at March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity decreased $894,000, or 0.6%, to $145.1 million at March 31, 2021 from $146.0 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was a result of a $2.0 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income related to changes in the fair value of available for sale debt securities and $1.0 million in dividends paid during the period partially offset by net income of $2.1 million.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020
General. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $2.1 million compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $1.0 million, or 91.3%. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was impacted by merger expenses of $151,000 ($121,000 after tax) related to the pending merger with Dollar. Excluding the after tax impact of the merger-related expenses, net income would have been $2.2 million. Earnings per share for the current period was $0.46 for basic and $0.46 for fully diluted ($0.46 and $0.46, respectively, excluding the merger-related expenses) compared to $0.24 for basic and $0.24 for fully diluted for the same period in 2020.
35
The Company’s annualized return on average assets (ROA) and annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were 0.82% and 5.92%, respectively, (0.87% and 6.26%, respectively, excluding the merger-related expenses) compared to 0.46% and 3.15%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $7.2 million, an increase of 5.5%, compared to $6.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of a decrease in both the balance and cost of interest-bearing liabilities as well as an increase in the balance of interest-earning assets partially offset by a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets. The net interest rate spread and net interest margin were 2.71% and 2.96%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 2.70% and 3.02%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income decreased $454,000, or 5.0%, to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of a 47 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 3.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 3.96% for the same period in the prior year as a result of lower short-term interest rates. The decrease in total interest and dividend income resulting from the decrease in the average yield was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $78.5 million, or 8.7%, to $985.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest income on loans decreased $238,000, or 3.1%, to $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of a 23 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans receivable to 4.13% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 4.36% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in interest income resulting from the decrease in the average yield was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $21.6 million, or 3.0%, to $734.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest income on investment and mortgage-backed securities decreased $104,000, or 10.5%, to $888,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $992,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of a 59 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on investment and mortgage-backed securities to 1.90% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 from 2.49% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in interest income resulting from the decrease in the average yield was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of investment and mortgage-backed securities of $27.1 million, or 17.0%, to $186.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Dividend income on FHLB and other restricted stock decreased $37,000, or 25.9%, to $106,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $143,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease primarily resulted from a 260 basis point decrease in the average yield to 4.97% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 7.57% for the same period in the prior year. The FHLB decreased the dividend yield on both activity and membership stock as of the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in interest income resulting from the decrease in the average yield was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of FHLB stock and other restricted stock of $1.1 million, or 15.0%, to $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest income on interest-earning deposits decreased $75,000, or 85.2%, to $13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $88,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of a 119 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning deposits to 0.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 1.28% for the same period in the prior year as a result of lower short-term interest rates. The decrease in interest income resulting from the decrease in the average yield was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-earning deposits of $28.7 million, or 103.3%, to $56.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $832,000, or 37.7%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of a 48 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 0.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 1.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as a result of lower short-term interest rates. The decrease in total interest expense resulting from the decrease in the average cost was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $15.4 million, or 2.2%, to $716.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year.
36
Interest expense on deposits decreased $722,000, or 43.2%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of a 51 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 0.61% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 1.12% for the same period in the prior year due to lower short-term interest rates. Additionally, the average balance of time deposits decreased $34.0 million, or 14.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. Partially offsetting those decreases was an increase in the average balance of savings, money market, and demand and NOW deposit accounts of $33.4 million or 23.1%, $17.1 million or 16.5%, and $15.2 million or 13.9%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased $108,000, or 20.3%, to $423,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $531,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the average balance of borrowings of $15.9 million, or 16.0%, to $83.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. Additionally, there was an 11 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings to 2.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 2.14% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the average cost of borrowed funds was primarily the result of maturities during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses decreased $400,000, or 72.7%, to $150,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $550,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. In management’s judgment, the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio relative to loan mix, economic conditions and historical loss experience. The provision for the prior year quarter was impacted by a number of things including increases in several qualitative factors, some of which were directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in loan balances included in the allowance calculation and increased reserves required on a few loans which had experienced a deterioration in quality. See Footnote 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for additional information.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $635,000, or 118.7%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $535,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of a $731,000 change in the net equity securities fair value adjustment partially offset by decreases in investment management fees and service charges of $105,000 or 47.7%, and $71,000 or 9.7%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year
Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expenses totaled $5.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to $5.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Excluding the merger-related expenses of $151,000, noninterest expenses totaled $5.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in noninterest expenses, excluding merger-related expenses, was primarily the result of a $152,000, or 4.5%, decrease in compensation and employee benefits expenses partially offset by a $111,000, or 252.3%, increase in federal deposit insurance for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. The higher federal deposit insurance during the period was the result of the elimination of the small bank credits which had been applied in the prior period and have since been fully utilized.
Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded a provision for income tax of $528,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $194,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in income tax was primarily the result of an increase in taxable income as well as a higher effective tax rate for the period. The effective tax rate was 19.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 14.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations. The Company’s primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and sales, advances and short-term borrowings from the FHLB, repurchase agreements and maturities, principal repayments and sales of available-for-sale securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company’s Asset/Liability Management Committee, under the direction of the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and monitoring liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the funding needs of the Company including borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of the Bank’s customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. At March 31, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $89.3 million. Management believes there are sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy short- and long-term liquidity needs as of March 31, 2021.
Time deposits due within one year of March 31, 2021 totaled $105.1 million, or 12.6% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with the Bank, it may be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan and securities sales, repurchase agreements and FHLB advances and short-term borrowings. The Company believes, however, based on historical experience and current market interest rates, it will retain upon maturity a large portion of time deposits with maturities of one year or less. The Company’s maximum borrowing capacity at the FHLB at March 31, 2021 was $386.6 million.
The Company is committed to serving both its individual and commercial customers through these difficult and unprecedented times. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has increased the monitoring of its current liquidity and anticipated funding needs. Additionally, the Company has been proactive in positioning itself with additional liquidity in anticipation of the need to assist customers. Finally, the Company has successfully tested all of its contingency funding sources.
Stockholders’ equity decreased $894,000, or 0.6%, to $145.1 million at March 31, 2021 from $146.0 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was a result of a $2.0 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income related to changes in the fair value of available for sale debt securities and $1.0 million in dividends paid during the period partially offset by net income of $2.1 million.
38
Current regulatory requirements specify that the Bank and similar institutions must maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet tier 1 leverage, common equity tier 1 risk-based, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 4.00%, 4.50%, 6.00% and 8.00%, respectively. At March 31, 2021, the Bank was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements with ratios of 11.35%, 17.37%, 17.37% and 18.57%, respectively, and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.
As a result of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, the federal banking agencies have adopted a rule to establish for institutions with assets of less than $10 billion that meet other specified criteria a “community bank leverage ratio” (the ratio of a bank’s tangible equity capital to average total consolidated assets) that such institutions may elect to utilize in lieu of the generally applicable leverage and risk-based capital requirements noted above. The federal banking agencies adopted 9% as the applicable ratio, however, in response to COVID-19, they temporarily reduced the ratio to 8% effective March 31, 2020. Institutions with capital meeting the specified requirements and electing to follow the alternative framework will be considered compliant with all applicable regulatory capital and leverage requirements, including the requirement to be “well capitalized.” The Bank did not utilize the community bank leverage ratio framework in its March 31, 2021 Call Report and maintains the right to opt-in or opt-out of the framework in any subsequent quarter.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
Commitments. As a financial services provider, the Company routinely is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans the Bank makes. At March 31, 2021, there were $117.6 million in loan commitments outstanding of which $55.4 million were for commercial loans and lines, $35.6 million were for one- to four-family and construction loans, and $26.6 million were for standby letters of credit and other commitments including consumer overdraft lines.
Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of operations, the Company enters into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.
