NOTE 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Account Policies

Nature of Operations

Cincinnati Bancorp (“Company”) is the mid-tier holding company for Cincinnati Federal (the “Bank”), a federally chartered stock savings and loan association that is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and financial services to individual and corporate customers. Our business operations are conducted in the larger Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky metropolitan area which includes Warren, Butler and Clermont Counties in Ohio, Boone, Kenton and Campbell Counties in Kentucky, and Dearborn County, Indiana. On October 14, 2015, the Bank reorganized into the mutual holding company structure. As part of the reorganization, the Company sold 773,663 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share in a public offering and issued 945,587 shares of common stock to CF Mutual Holding Company, the Company’s parent mutual holding company. The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Company is subject to the regulation of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified ASC 606. ASC 606 provides that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Interest income, net securities gains (losses), gains from the sale of mortgage loans and bank-owned life insurance are not included within the scope of ASC 606. For the revenue streams in the scope of ASC 606, service charges on deposits and electronic banking fees, there are no significant judgments related to the amount and timing of revenue recognition. All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers is recognized within noninterest income.

Service charges on deposit accounts: The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as stop payment charges, statement rendering and other fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance. Service charges are recorded in other noninterest income.

Interchange income: The Company earns interchange income from cardholder transactions conducted through the various payment networks. Interchange income from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. The gross amount of these fees is processed through noninterest income. Interchange fees are recorded in other noninterest income.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 include the accounts of Cincinnati Bancorp and the Bank. All significant intercompany items have been eliminated.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Interim Financial Statements

The interim financial statements as of March 31, 2019, and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited and reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are the only adjustments contained in the interim financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2019, or any other period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, loan servicing rights, lender reserve account and fair values of financial instruments.

NOTE 2: Merger

On April 18, 2018, Cincinnati Federal and Kentucky Federal Savings and Loan Association (“Kentucky Federal”) signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which Kentucky Federal merged with and into Cincinnati Federal effective October 12, 2018.

On the effective date of the merger, the Company issued from its authorized but unissued shares of common stock, 63,382 shares of common stock to CF Mutual Holding Company. The number of shares issued was in consideration of Kentucky Federal’s appraised value. At closing, Kentucky Federal Director, Philip Wehrman, was added to the Boards of Director of CF Mutual Holding Company, Cincinnati Bancorp and Cincinnati Federal.

The merger with Kentucky Federal was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration paid were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the merger date. The following table summarizes the fair value recorded as of October 12, 2018:

	Amount Recorded		Fair Value Adjustments			Fair Value Recorded
Consideration Paid:
Fair value of total consideration transferred (common shares issued)	$	1,240,001	$	-		$	1,240,001
Identifiable Assets Acquired:

Other real estate owned		132,590		(33,000	)		99,590
Other assets		895,044		(35,718	)		859,326
Total identifiable assets acquired		30,009,302		809,142			30,818,444
Liabilities Assumed:
Deposits		26,475,279		3,739			26,479,018
Federal Home Loan Bank advances		343,242		-			343,242
Deferred taxes		41,947		176,636			218,583
Other Liabilities		345,260		-			345,260
Total liabilities assumed		27,205,728		180,375			27,386,103
Total identified net assets acquired		2,803,574		628,767			3,432,341
Gain on merger	$	1,563,573	$	628,767		$	2,192,340

As permitted by ASC No. 805-10-25, Business Combinations, the above estimates may be adjusted up to one year after closing date of the acquisition to reflect any new information obtained about facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date. Any changes in the estimated fair values will be recognized in the period the adjustment is identified.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their fair values as of October 12, 2018 based on management’s best estimate using the information available at acquisition date. The application of purchase accounting resulted in a bargain purchase gain of approximately $2.2 million. The primary reason for the gain on merger gain is the mutual ownership structure of Kentucky Federal. The number of institutions that could merge with Kentucky Federal was limited and the mutual holding company structure of Cincinnati Bancorp allowed the merger to occur.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The fair value for loans acquired from Kentucky Federal were estimated using cash flow projections based on remaining maturity and repricing terms. Cash flows were adjusted by estimated future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected monthly cash flows were discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans. There was no carryover of Kentucky Federal’s allowance for loan losses associated with the loans that were acquired, as the loans were initially recorded at fair value on October 12, 2018. The Company acquired various loans in the acquisition for which none had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination. The fair value of assets includes loans with a fair value of $16,323,595. The gross principal and contractual interest due under the contracts is $16,419,786, of which $251,369 is expected to be uncollectible.

The core deposit intangible asset recognized of $221,193 is being amortized over its estimated life of approximately 10 years using the straight-line method and is included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Direct acquisition and integration costs were expensed as incurred and totaled approximately $18,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and $577,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. These items were recorded as merger-related expenses on the consolidated statements of income.

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

For debt securities with fair value below amortized cost when the Company does not intend to sell a debt security, and it is more likely than not the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it recognizes the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income.

The amortized cost and approximate fair values, together with gross unrealized gains and losses, of securities are as follows:

	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
	(Unaudited)
Available-for-Sale Securities:
March 31, 2019:
Mortgage-backed securities of government sponsored entities	$	563,798	$	3,856	$	(2,183	)	$	565,471
December 31, 2018:
Mortgage-backed securities of government sponsored entities	$	629,447	$	3,806	$	(2,892	)	$	630,361

The Company had no sales of investment securities during the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company had not pledged any of its investment securities as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, by contractual maturity, if applicable, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties, as is the case with mortgage-backed securities included in the following table:

	March 31, 2019				December 31, 2018
	Amortized		Fair		Amortized		Fair
	Cost		Value		Cost		Value
Mortgage-backed securities of government sponsored entities	$	563,798	$	565,471	$	629,447	$	630,361

Certain investments in debt securities have fair values at an amount less than their historical cost. The total fair value of these investments at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $448,860 and $512,303, respectively, which was approximately 79% and 81%, respectively, of the Company’s investment portfolio at those respective dates.

The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporary impaired, aggregated by investment class and length of time that the individual securities have been in continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company has adopted a standard grading system for all loans.

Definitions are as follows:

Prime (1) loans are of superior quality with excellent credit strength and repayment ability proving a nominal credit risk.

Good (2) loans are of above average credit strength and repayment ability proving only a minimal credit risk.

Satisfactory (3) loans are of reasonable credit strength and repayment ability proving an average credit risk due to one or more underlying weaknesses.

Acceptable (4) loans are of the lowest acceptable credit strength and weakened repayment ability providing a cautionary credit risk due to one or more underlying weaknesses. New borrowers are typically not underwritten within this classification.

Special Mention (5) loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Ordinarily, special mention credits have characteristics which corrective management action would remedy.

Substandard (6) loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful (7) loans have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss (8) loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off even though partial recovery may be realized in the future.

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310, Receivables), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans and also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”).

NOTE 5: Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed in a manner similar to that of basic EPS except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of incremental common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were issued during the period. Unallocated common shares held by the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“the ESOP”) are shown as a reduction in stockholders’ equity and are excluded from weighted-average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted EPS calculations until they are committed to be released. The computations for the three month periods ended March 31 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
Net Income (Loss)	$	(8,101	)	$	179,320

The Company had no dilutive or potentially dilutive securities outstanding at March 31, 2018.

NOTE 6: Regulatory Matters

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Furthermore, the Company’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements.

21

Cincinnati Bancorp

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), common equity Tier I capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject at such dates.

Effective January 1, 2015, new regulatory capital requirements commonly referred to as ‘Basel III” were implemented and are reflected below. Management opted out of the accumulated comprehensive income treatment under the new requirements, and as such unrealized gains and losses from available-for-sale securities will continue to be excluded from regulatory capital.

The below minimum capital requirements exclude the capital conservation buffer required to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The capital conservation buffer was phased in from 0.0% for 2015 to 2.50% by 2019. The capital conservation buffer was 2.50% at March 31, 2019 and 1.875% at December 31, 2018.

As of the most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Bank was categorized as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since the last notification that would change the Bank's category.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the following table:

	Actual					Minimum Capital Requirement					Minimum to Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio

NOTE 7: Disclosure About Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 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 for substantially the full-term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Recurring Measurements

The following tables present the fair value measurements of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

			Fair Value Measurements Using
	Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs
			(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
March 31, 2019
Mortgage-backed securities of government sponsored entities	$	565,471	$	-	$	565,471	$	-
Mortgage servicing rights		1,306,527		-		-		1,306,527

Mortgage servicing rights		1,252,740		-		-		1,252,740

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Available-for-sale Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flows. Such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases where Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

23

Cincinnati Bancorp

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow models having significant inputs of loan balance, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, escrow payments, servicing fees, prepayment speeds, float, cost to service, ancillary income, and discount rate. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Mortgage servicing rights are tested for impairment. Management measures mortgage servicing rights through use of a third-party independent valuation. Inputs to the model are reviewed by management.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of recurring fair value measurements related to mortgage servicing rights recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
	(Unaudited)
Fair value as of the beginning of the period	$	1,252,740	$	909,821
Recognition of mortgage servicing rights on the sale of loans		19,154		48,927
Changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs    or assumptions used in the valuation model		34,633		78,474
Fair value at the end of the period	$	1,306,527	$	1,037,222

Mortgage servicing rights are carried in the balance sheet at fair value and the changes in fair value are reported in other noninterest income in the period in which the changes occur.

Nonrecurring Measurements

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fell at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

			Fair Value Measurements Using

December 31, 2018
Collateral-dependent impaired loans	$	744,381	$	-	$	-	$	744,381

Collateral-dependent Impaired Loans, Net of Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company considers the appraisal or evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Appraisals of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans are obtained when the loan is determined to be collateral-dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary by management. Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by management. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved independent appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral. These discounts and estimates are developed by management by comparison to historical results.

Unobservable (Level 3) Inputs

The following tables present quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

	Fair Value at March 31, 2019		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Range (Weighted Average)

	Fair Value at December 31, 2018		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Range (Weighted Average)
Mortgage servicing rights	$	1,252,740	Discounted cash flow	Discount rate PSA prepayment speeds	10% 113%-218%
Impaired loans (collateral dependent)	$	744,381	Market comparable properties	Marketability discount	10%-15% (12%)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheets at amounts other than fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank Stock and Interest Receivable

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Loans Held for Sale

Fair value of loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices, where available, or is determined by discounting estimated cash flows using interest rates approximating the Company’s current origination rates for similar loans and adjusted to reflect the inherent credit risk.

26

Cincinnati Bancorp

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Loans

The estimated fair value of loans as of March 31, 2019 follows the guidance in ASU 2016-01, which prescribes an “exit price” in estimating and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments. The fair value calculation at that date discounted estimated cash flows using rates that incorporated discounts for credit, liquidity and marketability factors. The fair value at December 31, 2018 used an “entry price.” The fair value calculation for that date discounted estimated cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same maturities. As a result, the fair value disclosures for March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are not directly comparable.

Federal Home Loan Bank Lender Risk Account Receivable

The fair value of the Federal Home Loan Bank lender risk account receivable is estimated by discounting the estimated remaining cash flows of each strata of the receivable at current rates applicable to each strata for the same remaining maturities.

Deposits

Deposits include demand deposits and savings accounts. The fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of a similar structure. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt. Fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market.

If a quoted market price is not available, an expected present value technique is used to estimate fair value.

Advances from Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance and Interest Payable

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Commitments to Originate Loans, Forward Sale Commitments, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit

The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of forward sale commitments is estimated based on current market prices for loans of similar terms and credit quality. The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of commitments was not material.

NOTE 8: Commitments and Credit Risk

Commitments to Originate Loans

Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.

28

Cincinnati Bancorp

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Forward sale commitments are commitments to sell groups of residential mortgage loans that the Company originates or purchases as part of its mortgage banking activities. The Company commits to sell the loans at specified prices in a future period. These commitments are acquired to reduce market risk on mortgage loans in the process of origination and mortgage loans held for sale since the Company is exposed to interest rate risk during the period between issuing a loan commitment and the sale of the loan into the secondary market.

The dollar amount of commitments to fund fixed rate loans at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 follows:

	March 31,					December 31,
	2019					2018
	(Unaudited)
			Interest Rate					Interest Rate
	Amount		Range			Amount		Range
Commitments to fund fixed-rate loans	$	8,177,925		3.375% - 5.875	%	$	2,566,950		4.625% - 6.00	%

Lines of Credit

Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates. Since a portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Loan commitments outstanding at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were composed of the following:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2019		2018

NOTE 10: Equity Incentive Plan

In May 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the Cincinnati Bancorp 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan authorizes the issuance or delivery to participants of up to 117,940 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the grants of restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, incentive stock options, and non-qualified stock options. Of this number, the maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be issued under the 2017 Plan pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 84,243 shares and the maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be issued as restricted stock awards or restricted stock units is 33,697 shares. Stock options awarded to employees may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Shares subject to award under the 2017 Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The 2017 Plan contains annual and lifetime limits on certain types of awards to individual participants. 

Awards may vest or become exercisable only upon the achievement of performance measures or based solely on the passage of time after award. Stock options and restricted stock awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the 2017 Plan).

In June 2017, the Company granted stock options for 79,187 shares to members of the Board of Directors and certain members of management. Options granted in June 2017 have an exercise price of $9.55, as determined on the grant date and expire ten years from the grant date.

 The fair value was calculated for stock options granted in June 2017 using the following assumptions: expected volatility of 11.45%, a risk-free interest rate of 2.31%, and an expected term of ten years.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the year 2018 was $3.64 per share. The weighted-average grant date fair value of shares granted during 2017 was $9.55.

There were 15,837 options granted under the 2017 Plan exercisable at March 31, 2019.

Cincinnati Bancorp

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

In June 2017, the Company awarded 33,697 restricted shares to members of the Board of Directors and certain members of management. The restricted stock awards have a five year vesting period. Shares of restricted stock granted to employees under the 2017 Plan are subject to vesting based on continuous employment for a specified time period following the date of grant. During the restricted period, the holder is entitled to full voting rights and dividends, thus are considered participating securities.

Total compensation cost recognized in the income statement for share-based payment arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $25,791 and $25,788, respectively.

As of March 31, 2019, there was approximately $335,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 5 years.

Cincinnati Bancorp is an “emerging growth company.” As an “emerging growth company”, we have elected to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

FASB ASU 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)

ASU No. 2017-07 was issued in March 2017 and applies to all employers that offer to their employees defined benefit pension plans, other postretirement benefit plans, or other types of benefits accounted for under Topic 715. The amendments in this update require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost, as defined, are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. The amendments in ASU No. 2017-07 are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. For other entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments in this update are to be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments

On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force), ("ASU 2016-15"). The amendments in ASU 2016-15 address eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company has assessed ASU 2016-15 and does not expect a significant impact on its accounting and disclosures.

FASB ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income.

In issuing the standard, the FASB is responding to criticism that today’s guidance delays recognition of credit losses. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, will apply to: (1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. The CECL model does not apply to available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities. For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than as interest income over time, as they do today. The ASU also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, entities will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. 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. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments to the Company’s financial position and results of operations and currently does not know or cannot reasonably quantify the impact of the adoption of the amendments as a result of the complexity and extensive changes from these amendments. The Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) estimate is material to the Company and given the change from an incurred loss model to a methodology that considers the credit loss over the life of the loan, there is the potential for an increase in the ALL at adoption date. The Company is anticipating a significant change in the processes and procedures to calculate the ALL, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for the other-than-temporary impairment on available-for-sale securities will be replaced with an allowance approach. The Company continues collecting and retaining historical loan and credit data. The Company is in the process of identifying data gaps. Certain CECL models are currently being evaluated. The Audit Committee is informed of ongoing CECL developments. For additional information on the allowance for loan losses, see Note 4.

FASB ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)

ASU No. 2016-02 was issued in February 2016 and requires a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (“the lease liability”) and a right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, the lessee should include payments to be made in optional periods only if the lessee is reasonably certain, as defined, to exercise an option to the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. Optional payments to purchase the underlying asset should be included if the lessee is reasonably certain it will exercise the purchase option. Most variable lease payments should be excluded except for those that depend on an index or a rate or are in substance fixed payments.

A lessee shall classify a lease as a finance lease if it meets any of the five listed criteria:

a. The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term.

b. The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.

c. The lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset.

d. The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.

e. The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term.

For finance leases, a lessee shall recognize in the statement of income interest on the lease liability separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset. Amortization of the right-to-use asset shall be on a straight-line basis, unless another basis is more representative of the pattern in which the lessee expects to consume the right-of-use asset’s future economic benefits. If the lease does not meet any of the five criteria, the lessee shall classify it as an operating lease and shall recognize a single lease cost on a straight line basis over the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Nonpublic business entities should apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The impact is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations since the Company does not have a material amount of lease agreements.

FASB ASU 2016-01 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. For public business entities, the amendments in this update include the elimination of the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, the requirement to use the exit price notion when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, the requirement to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, the requirement for separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the amendments clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity's other deferred tax assets.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

ASU 2016-01 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For private companies the new guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is not permitted, except that early application by public business entities to financial statements of fiscal years or interim periods that have not yet been issued or, by all other entities, that have not yet been made available for issuance are permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption for the following amendment: An entity should present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk if the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments, but does not expect them to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations since it does not have any equity securities or a valuation allowance. However, the amendments will have an impact on certain items that are disclosed at fair value that are not currently utilizing the exit price notion when measuring fair value. Adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on its fair value and other disclosure requirements. For additional information on fair value of assets and liabilities, see Note 7.

FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance on revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most contract revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the amended guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Public entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 to interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (that is, a public entity would be required to apply the new revenue standard beginning in the first interim period within the period of adoption). Nonpublic entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2018, and to interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company continues to assess the guidance from the FASB and the Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition in determining the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its accounting and disclosures. The amendments could potentially impact the accounting procedures and processes over the recognition of certain revenue sources, including, but not limited to, non-interest income. Management continues to evaluate those revenue streams that could be impacted by the amendments. The analysis includes identification of potential performance obligations and revenue principles. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s accounting and disclosures. For additional information, see Note 1.

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

General

Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations at and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and with the audited financial statements and notes thereto at and for the year ended December 31, 2018, appearing in Cincinnati Bancorp’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “target” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

· statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

· statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;

· statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

· estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q except as may be required by applicable law or regulation.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

· our ability to manage our operations under the current economic conditions nationally and in our market area;

· our ability to integrate acquisitions may be unsuccessful, or may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected;

· we may incur increased charge-offs in the future;

· we may face competitive loss of customers;

· adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national local real estate markets (including real estate values), or in the secondary mortgage markets;

· significant increases in our loan losses, including as a result of our inability to resolve classified and non-performing assets or reduce risks associated with our loans, and management’s assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;

· credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and in our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses;

35

· the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuations;

· competition among depository and other financial institutions;

· our ability to successfully implement our business plan and to grow our franchise to improve profitability;

· our ability to attract and maintain deposits, and to obtain FHLB-Cincinnati advances;

· changes in interest rates generally, including changes in the relative differences between short term and long term interest rates and in deposit interest rates, that may affect our net interest margin and funding sources, and our ability to originate loans for portfolio and for sale in the secondary market;

· fluctuations in the demand for loans, which may be affected by the number of unsold homes, land and other properties in our market areas and by declines in the value of real estate in our market area;

· changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

· risks related to a high concentration of loans secured by real estate located in our market area;

· the results of examinations by our regulators, including the possibility that our regulators may, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses, write down assets, change our regulatory capital position, limit our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, or prohibit us from paying dividends, which could adversely affect our dividends and earnings;

· changes in the level of government support of housing finance;

· our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

· changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions which could result in, among other things, increased deposit insurance premiums and assessments, increased capital requirements, and increased regulatory fees and compliance costs, and the resources we have available to address such changes;

· changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

· changes in our compensation and benefit plans, and our ability to retain key members of our senior management team and to address staffing needs in response to product demand or to implement our strategic plans;

· loan delinquencies and changes in the underlying cash flows of our borrowers;

· our ability to control costs and expenses, particularly those associated with operating as a publicly traded company;

· the failure or security breaches of computer systems on which we depend;

· the ability of key third-party service providers to perform their obligations to us;

· changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own;

· acquisition integration risks, including potential deposit attrition, higher than expected costs, customer loss, business disruption and the inability to realize benefits and cost savings from, and limit any unexpected liabilities associated with, business combinations; and

36

· other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and operational factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services described elsewhere in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in Cincinnati Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018

Total Assets. Total assets were $205.3 million at March 31, 2019, an increase of $7.6 million, or 3.8%, from the $197.7 million at December 31, 2018. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in loans, net of allowances, of $5.1 million, and an increase of $2.6 million in loans held for sale.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $263,000 or 2.4%, to $10.8 million at March 31, 2019 from $11.1 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily the result of increased loan growth.

Net Loans. Net loans increased $5.1 million, or 3.0%, to $175.4 million at March 31, 2019 from $170.4 million at December 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we originated $13.3 million of loans for portfolio, $5.2 million of which were one-to-four family residential real estate loans, $5.0 million were multifamily loans, $52,000 were nonresidential loans, $1.4 million were home equity lines of credit, and $1.7 million were construction and land loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we sold $8.9 million of one-to- four family residential loans, on both a servicing–retained and servicing–released basis, and $1.0 million in multifamily loans. Subject to market conditions, management intends to continue this sales activity in future periods to generate gains on sale and servicing fee income.

Our one-to-four owner-occupied loan portfolio increased $1.1 million or 1.2%. The nonresidential portfolio decreased $205,000 or 1.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The one-to-four family investment loan portfolio increased $1.1 million, or 7.4%. The home equity lines of credit portfolio decreased $306,000 or 2.7% to $11.1 million at March 31, 2019. Construction and land loans increased $928,000 or 12.7% and the multifamily portfolio increased $2.2 million, or 8.1%. We currently sell certain fixed-rate, 15- and 30-year term one-to-four family mortgage loans. We have sold loans on both a servicing-released and servicing-retained basis to: the FHLB-Cincinnati, through its mortgage purchase program; Freddie Mac; and certain private sector third-party buyers.

Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale increased $2.6 million, or 205.6%, to $3.9 million at March 31, 2019 from $1.3 million at December 31, 2018 as a result of increased origination of loans to be sold.

Available-for-Sale Securities. Available-for-sale securities, which consisted entirely of U.S. government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities, decreased $65,000, or 10.3%, to $565,000 at March 31, 2019 from $630,000 at December 31, 2018. There were no securities purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2019. There were $63,000 in maturities, with the remaining difference was due to the change in market values within the portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

37

Deposits. Deposits decreased $1.0 million, or 0.7%, to $141.4 million at March 31, 2019 from $142.4 million at December 31, 2018. Core deposits, defined as demand, NOW and savings accounts, increased $2.0 million, or 3.2%, to $63.8 million at March 31, 2019 from $61.8 million at December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily the result of marketing efforts directed at increasing retail deposit accounts. Time deposits decreased $3.0 million, or 3.7%, to $77.5 million at March 31, 2019 from $80.5 million at December 31, 2018. Certificates originated through the National CD Rateline service decreased $3.1 million to $10.0 million at March 31, 2019, and are included in the decrease in time deposits noted above. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, management continued its strategy of pursuing growth in lower cost core deposits, and intends to continue its efforts to increase core deposits.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. Federal Home Loan Bank Advances increased $9.2 million, or 32.2%, to $37.8 million at March 31, 2019. The additional advances were used to fund loan originations.

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $11,000, or 0.05%, to $23.0 million at March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to increases in additional paid in capital from equity incentive plans, partially offset by a net loss for the period of $8,100.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018

General. The Company recorded a net loss of $8,100 the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to net income of $179,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of $188,000, or 104.5%. The decrease was primarily due to a $220,000 decrease in noninterest income and a $292,000 increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $243,000 increase in net interest income before the provision for loan losses.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $431,000, or 26.9%, to $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to the comparable quarter in 2018. Interest income on loans increased $391,000, or 25.1%, to $1.9 million as of March 31, 2019. The average balance of loans during the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $22.3 million to $172.9 million, compared to $150.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in average loans outstanding was primarily due to the acquisition of Kentucky Federal Savings and Loan Association (“Kentucky Federal”). The average yield on loans increased 37 basis points to 4.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 4.14% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to the increase in mortgage rates. Interest income on securities available-for-sale was unchanged at $4,000. Interest income on other investments increased $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to an increase in the outstanding balance of FHLB Cincinnati stock from the acquisition of Kentucky Federal. The yield on other interest-earning assets increased 155 basis points due to an increase in the dividend rate on FHLB Cincinnati stock and an increase in short term interest rates.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $182,000, or 41.4%, to $622,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 from $440,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Interest expense on deposit accounts increased $143,000, or 47.0%, to $448,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 from $305,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The increase in deposit expense between comparable quarters in 2019 from 2018 was primarily due to $25.2 million increase in average interest-bearing deposit accounts, and a 21 basis point increase in average cost primarily due to the increase in deposit rates in the local market. The increase in average interest-bearing deposit accounts was primarily due to the acquisition of Kentucky Federal.

Interest expense on interest-bearing demand accounts was unchanged for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The average balances in demand interest bearing accounts increased $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to March 31, 2018. The average cost of interest-bearing demand accounts decreased 59 basis points. The decrease in costs is primarily attributable to the addition of lower cost NOW accounts from the merger with Kentucky Federal. Interest expense on certificates of deposit increased $111,000 as a result of a $10.0 million, or 14.6%, increase in the average balance of these certificates. The average cost of certificates increased 37 basis points to 1.92% primarily due to the increase in certificate of deposit rates in the local market. Savings interest expense increased $32,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018 due to the offering of a higher yielding savings account to attract retail deposits.

38

Interest expense on FHLB advances increased $38,000, or 27.9%, to $174,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 from $135,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The average balance of advances decreased $1.4 million, or 4.1%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The average cost of FHLB borrowings increased 55 basis points. The increase in the cost of advances resulted from increases in short term interest rates.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased $243,000, or 21.0%, to $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Average interest-earning assets increased $22.2 million primarily due to a $22.3 million increase in average outstanding loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Interest on other interest earning assets increased $40,000 primarily due to an increase in average yields of 155 basis points due to the increase in the dividend rate on FHLB stock and increase in interest rates on balances held at other depository banks and fed funds sold. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $23.8 million from the same quarter in 2018 due to the funding needed for the increase in lending. The interest rate spread increased 18 basis points to 2.84% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to 2.66% at quarter ended March 31, 2018. The net interest margin increased 18 basis points to 3.06% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to 2.88% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses expense decreased $15,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The quarter ended March 31, 2019 had no loan loss provision.

The allowance for loan losses reflects the estimate we believe to be adequate to cover probable losses which were inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2019. While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, such estimates and assumptions could be proven incorrect in the future, and the actual amount of future provisions may exceed the amount of past provisions, and the increase in future provisions that may be required may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for possible loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $220,000, or 32.7%, to $453,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 from $673,000 for the comparable quarter in 2018. The gain on sale of loans decreased $162,000, or 47.6%, to $178,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 from $340,000 for the comparable quarter in 2018. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing fees decreased $46,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights increased at a slower pace for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to the comparable quarter in 2018 primarily due to a smaller increase in the value of mortgage servicing rights for the comparable quarters.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $292,000, or 18.4%, to $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to the comparable quarter in 2018. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Kentucky Federal. Salary and employee benefits increased $172,000, or 21.0%, to $990,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 from $818,000 for the comparable quarter in 2018 due to increased personnel expense, increased healthcare costs, and increased payroll expense. Data processing expense increased $25,000, or 16.3%, to $175,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 from $150,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 due to the additional data processing fees for accounts acquired in the acquisition of Kentucky Federal. Professional fees decreased $18,000, or 19.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 due to reduced strategic planning and legal costs. Advertising expense increased $5,000, or 13.3%. Loan costs decreased $16,000, or 17.0% on lower loan volume compared to the comparable quarter in 2018.

Federal Income Taxes. Federal income taxes decreased $67,000 from the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to a $254,000 decrease in pre-tax income.

Average Balances and Yields. The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information at the dates and for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made. Any adjustments necessary to present yields on a tax-equivalent basis are insignificant. All average balances are monthly average balances. Management does not believe that the use of month-end balances instead of daily average balances has caused any material differences in the information presented. Non-accrual loans are included in the computation of average balances only. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Liquidity is the ability to meet financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities proceeds from the sale of loans, and proceeds from the sale or maturities of securities. In addition, the Bank may borrow from the FHLB. At March 31, 2019, the Bank had $37.8 million outstanding in advances from the FHLB. At March 31, 2019, the Bank had collateral based capacity to borrow $53.1 million. The Bank had additional lines of credit with three commercial banks totaling $11.5 million. Additionally, the Bank has contingent funding sources with CDARS and the StoneCastle’s Federally Insured Cash Account (FICA) program.

40

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are probable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short term investments including interest-bearing demand deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $2.8 million and $213,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and March 31, 2018, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on mortgage-backed securities, was $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Net cash used in investing activities was $2.5 million for three months ended March 31, 2018. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of the activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances, was $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained. We also anticipate continued participation in the National CD Rateline Program as a wholesale source of certificates of deposit, and continued use of FHLB-Cincinnati advances.

Cincinnati Bancorp is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay any dividend to its stockholders and for other corporate purposes. Cincinnati Bancorp’s primary source of liquidity is dividend payments, if any, received from the Bank. The Bank’s ability to pay dividends is subject to regulatory restrictions. At March 31, 2019, Cincinnati Bancorp (on an unconsolidated, stand-alone basis) had liquid assets of $659,000.

At March 31, 2019, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 leverage capital level of $22.4 million, or 11.3% of adjusted total assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $9.9 million, or 5.0%; total risk-based capital of $23.8 million, or 16.4% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $14.5 million, or 10.0% of risk-weighted assets; and common equity tier 1 risk based capital of $22.4 million, or 15.4%, of risk weighted assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $9.5 million, or 6.5%. At December 31, 2018, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 leverage capital level of $23.1 million, or 11.5% of adjusted total assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $10.0 million, or 5.0%; and total risk-based capital of $24.5 million, or 17.5% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $14.0 million, or 10.0% of risk-weighted assets. Accordingly, Cincinnati Federal was categorized as well capitalized at March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change its category.
