Other Financial Highlights:
| • | Total assets decreased $24.1 million, or 2.5%, to $927.0 million at September 30, 2023 from $951.1 million at December 31, 2022, due to a decrease in loans and securities, offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents. |
| • | Cash and cash equivalents increased $8.1 million, or 48.3%, to $25.0 million at September 30, 2023 from $16.8 million at December 31, 2022. |
| • | Securities decreased $28.1 million, or 17.3%, to $134.4 million at September 30, 2023 from $162.5 million at December 31, 2022. |
| • | Net loans decreased $8.7 million, or 1.2%, to $710.3 million at September 30, 2023 from $719.0 million at December 31, 2022. |
| • | Total deposits were $645.3 million, decreasing $56.1 million, or 8.0%, as compared to $701.4 million at December 31, 2022, primarily due to a $62.4 million decrease in non-interest-bearing deposits, checking, savings and money market accounts, offset by a $6.3 million increase in certificates of deposit. The average rate paid on deposits at September 30, 2023 increased 126 basis points to 3.08% at September 30, 2023 from 1.82% at December 31, 2022 due to higher interest rates and a larger percentage of deposits consisting of higher-costing certificates of deposit. |
| • | Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $33.0 million, or 32.2% to $135.3 million at September 30, 2023 from $102.3 million as of December 31, 2022. |
| • | Annualized return on average assets was 0.26% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 compared to 0.76% for nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. |
| • | Annualized return on average equity was 1.75% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 compared to 4.62% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. |
| • | Upon adoption of the CECL method of calculating the allowance for credit losses on January 1, 2023, the Bank recorded a one-time decrease, net of tax, in retained earnings of $220,000, an increase to the allowance for credit losses of $157,000 and an increase in the reserve for unfunded liabilities of $152,000. |
Joseph Coccaro, President and Chief Executive Officer, said “The impact of higher interest rates continues to impact our net interest margin. Our net income and return on average assets for the first nine months of 2023 are disappointing when compared to prior periods due to the increase in deposit and borrowing costs exceeding our growth in loan revenue. Currently, because of the interest rate environment, loan opportunities, especially residential and construction have significantly diminished. However, we continue to examine opportunities to grow the balance sheet based on loans that meet our risk tolerance and pricing parameters.”
“The Bank continues to be prudent with its lending and interest rate risk management. We remain well-capitalized with substantial reserve sources of liquidity and are managing expenses. We are currently working on a new branch in Upper Saddle River, NJ, which will be the Bank’s seventh stand-alone branch. The Bank anticipates this office will open in December 2023.”
Mr. Coccaro further stated, “We will continue to focus on delivering excellent services to our customers. The Company continues to repurchase shares of our common stock which will drive shareholder value.”

This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $3.0 million in net interest income partially offset by a decrease of $175,000 in the provision for credit losses and a decrease of $859,000 in income tax expense.
Interest income increased $1.1 million, or 13.6%, from $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to increases in the average balances and higher yields on interest earning assets.

The increase was also due to a $6.9 million increase in the average balance to $12.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting the increase of liquidity due to lower loan originations.
Interest income on loans increased $962,000, or 13.7%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due primarily to $40.6 million increase in the average balance to $710.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $670.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and a 30 basis point increase in the average yield from 4.15% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 4.45% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Interest income on securities decreased $53,000, or 5.0%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to a $44.1 million decrease in the average balance to $138.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $182.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 offset by a 59 basis point increase in the average yield from 2.32% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 2.91% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Interest expense increased $4.1 million, or 208.7%, from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to increases in the average balance of and higher costs on interest -bearing liabilities.

The increase was due to a 229 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits to 3.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 0.82% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in the average cost of deposits was due to the higher interest rate environment and a change in the composition of the deposit portfolio. The average balances of certificates of deposit increased $94.9 million to $498.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $403.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 while NOW and money market accounts and savings accounts decreased $63.2 million and $14.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

The increase was due to an increase in the average cost of 156 basis points to 3.86% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 2.30% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the new borrowings at higher rates. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of borrowings of $3.2 million to $125.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $128.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Net interest income decreased $3.0 million, or 48.2%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Our net interest margin decreased 138 basis points to 1.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 2.85% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
We recorded no provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a $175,000 provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Bank had a decrease in the loan portfolio and continues to have no charge-offs.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $120,000, or 5.6%, due to a higher employee count. Director fees decreased $30,000, or 15.9%, due to lower pension expense. FDIC insurance premiums increased $79,000, or 145.5%, due to a higher assessment rate in 2023. The decrease in advertising expense of $30,000, or 19.3%, was due to reduced promotions for branch locations and less promotions on deposit and loan products. Data processing expense decreased $105,000, or 33.9%, due to lower processing costs.

This was offset by a $21.1 million decrease in the average balance to $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $32.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting the use of excess liquidity to fund loan originations and purchase investment securities.

Interest expense increased $11.4 million, or 262.2%, from $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to increases in the average balance of and higher costs on interest-bearing liabilities.

The Bank had a decrease in the loan portfolio as well as no charge-offs offset by increased delinquent and non-performing loans.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, non-interest expense increased $37,000, or 0.3%, over the comparable 2022 period. Salaries and employee benefits increased $421,000, or 6.7%, due to a higher employee count. Director fees decreased $130,000, or 21.3%, due to lower pension expense.

The decrease was due to $4.7 million, or 67.8%, of lower taxable income. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was 17.49% and 27.46%, respectively.
Balance Sheet Analysis
Total assets were $927.0 million at September 30, 2023, representing a decrease of $24.1 million, or 2.5%, from December 31, 2022. Cash and cash equivalents increased $8.1 million during the period primarily due to loan payments received and proceeds from the call and maturity of securities. Net loans decreased $8.7 million, or 1.2%, due to $55.5 million in repayments, partially offset by new production of $46.8 million. Due to the interest rate environment, we have seen a decrease in demand for residential and construction loans, which have been primary drivers of our loan growth in recent periods. Securities held to maturity decreased $11.5 million, or 14.9%, and securities available for sale decreased $16.6 million or 19.5%, due to the repayments of mortgage-backed securities and maturities of corporate bonds.
Delinquent loans increased $18.0 million to $19.5 million, or 2.74% of total loans, at September 30, 2023. The increase was mostly due to one commercial construction loan located in Totowa New Jersey with a balance of $10.9 million with a loan to value ratio of 46%. During the same timeframe, non-performing assets increased to $12.3 million and were 1.33% of total assets at September 30, 2023. The Company’s allowance for credit losses was 0.39% of total loans and 22.62% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2023 compared to 0.36% of total loans and 136.3% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2022. The Bank does not have any exposure to commercial real estate loans secured by office space.
Total liabilities decreased $22.1 million, or 2.7%, to $789.4 million mainly due to a $56.1 million decrease in deposits, offset by a $33.0 million increase in borrowings. Total deposits decreased $56.1 million, or 8.0%, to $645.3 million at September 30, 2023 from $701.4 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in deposits reflected decreases in NOW, money market and savings accounts, which decreased by $56.2 million from $170.2 million at December 31, 2022 to $114.0 million at September 30, 2023, offset by an increase in certificate of deposit accounts, which increased by $6.3 million to $498.9 million from $492.6 million at December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, uninsured deposits represented 8.4% of the Bank’s total deposits. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $33.0 million, or 32.2%, to fund loan growth and deposit outflows. Total borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank is $320.2 million of which $135.3 million is advanced.
Total stockholders’ equity decreased $2.0 million to $137.7 million, due to increased accumulated other comprehensive loss for securities available for sale of $1.4 million and the repurchase of 318,560 shares of stock during the period at a cost of $3.0 million, offset by net income of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, the Company’s ratio of total stockholders’ equity adjusted for AOCI to total assets adjusted for the allowance for credit losses was 15.67%, compared to 17.08% at September 30, 2022.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. Changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.
