Community

The Community acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management's best estimate using information available at the date of the acquisition, including the use of a third party valuation specialist. The following table summarized the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for Community.



(Dollars in thousands)	January 4, 2018

Cash and cash equivalents	$	6,693
Interest bearing time deposits with other banks	100
Securities available for sale	75,909
Other bank stock	1,155
Loans	236,010
Foreclosed real estate	1,312
Premises and equipment, net	10,612
Accrued interest receivable	824
Goodwill (banking segment)	22,298
Intangibles assets	1,331
Bank-owned life insurance	7,963
Other assets	1,677
Total Assets	$	365,884

Deposits	$	(301,157	)
Borrowings	(12,000		)
Other liabilities	(844		)
Total Liabilities	$	(314,001	)
Net consideration paid - common shares issued	$	51,883

The fair values of deposit liabilities with no stated maturities such as checking, money market and savings accounts, were assumed to equal the carrying amounts since these deposits are payable on demand. The fair values of certificates of deposits and IRAs represent the present value of contractual cash flows discounted at market rates for similar certificates of deposit.

The Company has finalized the accounting as a result of the merger with Community.

Fair values of the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined as follows:

Investment securities available-for-sale

The estimated fair values of the investment securities available for sale, primarily comprised of U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government agencies and municipal bonds, were determined using open market pricing provided by multiple independent securities brokers. Management reviewed the open market quotes used in pricing the securities. A fair value discount of $261 thousand was recorded on the investments.

Loans

Loans acquired in the Community acquisition were recorded at fair value, and there was no carryover related allowance for loan and lease losses. The fair values of loans acquired from Community were estimated using cash flow projections based on the remaining maturity and repricing terms. Cash flows were adjusted for estimated future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected cash flows were then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans. The fair value of the acquired loans receivable had a gross amortized cost basis of $242.5 million. The table below illustrates the fair value adjustments made to the amortized cost basis in order to present a fair value of the loans acquired. The credit adjustment on purchased credit impaired loans is derived in accordance with ASC 310-30 and represents the portion of the loan balances that has been deemed uncollectible based on the Company’s expectations of future cash flows for each respective loan on a level yield amortization over 3.5 years.



(Dollars in thousands)
Gross amortized cost basis at January 4, 2018	$	242,471
Fair value adjustment on general pooled loans	(3,737		)
Credit fair value adjustment on purchased credit impaired loans	(2,664		)
Fair value of acquired loans at January 4, 2018	$	236,070

For loans acquired without evidence of credit quality deterioration, the Company prepared the interest rate loan fair value and credit fair value adjustments. Loans were grouped into general pools by characteristics such as loan type, term, collateral and rate. Market rates for similar loans were obtained from various internal and external data sources and reviewed by management for reasonableness. The average of these rates was used as the fair value interest rate a market participant would utilize. A present value approach was utilized to calculate the interest rate fair value premium of $324 thousand.

Additionally for loans acquired without credit deterioration, a credit fair value adjustment was calculated using a two-part credit fair value analysis: 1) expected lifetime credit migration losses; and 2) estimated fair value adjustment for certain qualitative factors. The expected lifetime losses were calculated using historical losses observed at the Bank, Community and peer banks. The Company also estimated an environmental factor to apply to each loan type. The environmental factor represents potential discount which may arise due to general credit and economic factors. A credit fair value discount of $4.1 million was determined. Both the interest rate and credit fair value adjustments relate to performing loans and loans acquired with evidence of credit quality deterioration will be substantially recognized as interest income on a level yield amortization method over the weighted average life of the loans of 4 years.

The following is a summary of the loans accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 that were acquired in the Community acquisition as of the closing date.



(Dollars in thousands)	Acquired Credit Impaired Loans
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition	$	6,289
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (non-accretable difference)	1,819
Expected cash flows at acquisition	4,470
Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable difference)	846
Fair value of acquired loans	$	3,624

Bank Premises

The Company acquired three branches of Community, all of which were owned by Community, at a premium of $3.5 million. The fair value of Community’s premises was determined based upon independent third-party appraisals performed by licensed appraisers in the market in which the premises are located which will be amortized on a straight line basis over 40 years.

Core Deposit Intangible

The fair value of the core deposit intangible was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate commensurate with market participants. To calculate cash flows, deposit account servicing costs (net of deposit fee income) and interest expense on deposits were compared to the cost of alternative funding sources available through national brokered CD offering rates. The projected cash flows were developed using projected deposit attrition rates. The core deposit intangible will be amortized over ten years using the sum-of-years digits method.

The core deposit intangible totaled $1.3 million and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 10 years using an accelerated method of the sum of the years digits. The goodwill will be evaluated annually for impairment. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized from the merger with Community was created based on the consideration paid by the Company for enhancing its presence in the Bergen County, NJ area in addition to our expected synergies from the combined operations of the Company and Community.

Time Deposits

The fair value adjustment for time deposits represents a discount from the value of the contractual repayments of fixed-maturity deposits using prevailing market interest rates for similar-term time deposits. The time deposit discount of approximately $965 thousand is being amortized into income on a level yield amortization method over the contractual life of the deposits of 22.5 months and a weighted average life of 16.5 months.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Community's bank-owned life insurance book value was $8.0 million with no fair value adjustment.

Borrowings

The Company acquired borrowings at Community's carrying value of $12.0 million with no fair value adjustment. The remaining maturity of Community's borrowings was less than thirty days at a weighted average cost of funds equivalent to the current market rate for the similar term borrowing type.

The following table presents certain pro forma information as if Community had been acquired on January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018. These results combine the historical results of the Company in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of Community’s provision for loan losses that would not have been necessary had the acquired loans been recorded at fair value as of January 1, 2017 and January 1,2 018. The Company expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts below:



(Dollars in thousands)	Year Ended December 31, 2018		Year Ended December 31, 2017
Total revenues (net interest income plus non-interest income)	$	54,941	$	47,280
Net Income	9,935		6,257
Basic and diluted earnings per share applicable to common stockholders	$	1.25	$	0.79

Following the closing of the Community Merger on January 4, 2018, the Company reported the results of the combined Company. The Company cannot disaggregate the additional revenue and income before extraordinary items provided by Community since the Company operates as one consolidated entity on its internal systems. The cumulative effect to the Company's net income and net income per share are reported on a consolidated basis for the period ended December 31, 2018.

Enterprise

The Enterprise acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management's best estimate using information available at the date of the acquisition, including the use of a third party valuation specialist. The following table summarized the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for Enterprise.

Additionally for loans acquired without credit deterioration, a credit fair value adjustment was calculated using a two-part credit fair value analysis: 1) expected lifetime credit migration losses; and 2) estimated fair value adjustment for certain qualitative factors. The expected lifetime losses were calculated using historical losses observed at the Bank, Enterprise and peer banks. The Company also estimated an environmental factor to apply to each loan type. The environmental factor represents potential discount which may arise due to general credit and economic factors. A credit fair value discount of $3.9 million was determined. Both the interest rate and credit fair value adjustments will be substantially recognized as interest income on a level yield amortization method over the expected life of the loans.

Bank Premises

The Company acquired four branches of Enterprise, all of which were leased by Enterprise, at a discount of $282 thousand. The fair value of Enterprise’s premises was determined based upon independent third-party appraisals performed by licensed appraisers in the market in which the premises are located which will be amortized on a straight line basis over 3 years.

Core Deposit Intangible

The core deposit intangible totaled $1.0 million and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 10 years using an accelerated method of the sum of the years digits. The goodwill will be evaluated annually for impairment. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized from the merger with Enterprise was created based on the consideration paid by the Company for enhancing its presence in the Bergen County, NJ area in addition to our expected synergies from the combined operations of the Company and Enterprise.

Time Deposits

The fair value adjustment for time deposits represents a discount from the value of the contractual repayments of fixed-maturity deposits using prevailing market interest rates for similar-term time deposits. The time deposit discount of approximately $1.0 million is being amortized into income on a level yield amortization method over the contractual life of the deposits of 11.4 months and a weighted average life of 11.4 months.

Borrowings

The Company acquired borrowings at Enterprise's carrying value of $47.3 million at a weighted average rate of 2.23% with a fair value adjustment of $149 thousand. The fair value of borrowings represents the present value of the borrowings expected contracted payments discounted by market rates for similar borrowings. Market rates were obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of New York as of December 21, 2018.

The following table presents certain pro forma information as if Enterprise had been acquired on January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018. These results combine the historical results of the Company in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of Enterprise’s provision for loan losses that would not have been necessary had the acquired loans been recorded at fair value as of January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018. The Company expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts below:



(Dollars in thousands)	Year Ended December 31, 2018		Year Ended December 31, 2017

Net Income	12,496		7,283
Basic and diluted earnings per share applicable to common stockholders	$	1.80	$	0.84

The merger transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition. Management has not finalized the accounting in connection with the merger and is still in the process of assessing the fair value of loans, other assets and other liabilities which can result in an adjustment to the Company's goodwill and deferred tax asset.

Following the closing of the Enterprise Merger on December 21, 2018, the Company reported the results of the combined Company. The Company cannot disaggregate the additional revenue and income before extraordinary items provided by Enterprise since the Company operates as one consolidated entity on its internal systems. The cumulative effect to the Company's net income and net income per share are reported on a consolidated basis for the period ended December 31, 2018.
