BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Note 4. Business Combinations

On August 1, 2012, the Bank assumed all of the deposits and certain other liabilities and acquired certain assets of Saddle River Valley Bank (“Saddle River”), a New Jersey State-chartered bank, pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Assumption Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2012, among the Bank, Saddle River Valley Bank and Saddle River Valley Bancorp. This purchase and assumption was in keeping with the Bank’s strategy to expand its base of operations into Northern New Jersey.

The Bank assumed approximately $85.2 million in deposits and acquired approximately $89.3 million in loans and securities from Saddle River. The Bank paid total consideration of $10.3 million in cash. Acquisition costs, totaling $482,000 are reported on the consolidated statements of income.

The following table sets forth assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values, and resulting Bargain gain on acquisition, as of the closing date of the transaction:

	August 1, 2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	6,195
Investment securities available-for-sale		37,143
Loans		52,192
Premises and equipment, net		1,262
Accrued interest receivable		389
Total assets acquired	$	97,181
Liabilities assumed:
Deposits:	$	85,236
Other liabilities		795
Total liabilities assumed	$	86,031
Net assets acquired	$	11,150
Cash consideration paid in acquisition	$	10,251
Bargain gain on acquisition	$	899

The fair value estimates are subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the transaction if additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available.

Fair Value of Measurement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

Described below are the methods used to determine the fair values of the significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

Cash and cash equivalents. The estimated fair values of cash and cash equivalents approximate their stated face amounts.

Investment securities available-for-sale. The estimated fair values of the investment securities available for sale were calculated utilizing Level 2 inputs. The prices for these instruments are obtained through an independent pricing service and are derived from market quotations and matrix pricing. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. Management reviewed the data and assumptions used in pricing the securities by its third party provider to ensure the highest level of significant inputs are derived from market observable data.

Loans. A discounted cash flow of each individual loan was calculated. The discounted cash flows, at an account level, were then aggregated together by category type to determine the mark-to-market value of each loan type. The market values of all loan categories were added together to determine the total market value of the loan portfolio. The price of the portfolio is then determined by dividing the market value of the portfolio by the purchased face value of the portfolio. The discount rate utilized for the discounted cash flow of each loan category was based upon Bankrate and a survey of three local market competitors and the Bank’s offerings. There was no carryover of the allowance for loan losses that had been previously recorded by Saddle River.

Deposits. The discount rate utilized for the discounted cash flow of each time deposit category was calculated based upon the market interest rate for the term nearest to the weighted average remaining maturity for each time deposit category. The time deposit market interest rate was derived from a Financial Market Focus Report for New Jersey as of August 1, 2012.

Accrued interest receivable. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Other liabilities. The estimated fair values of other liabilities approximate their stated face amounts.

In connection with the Saddle River asset/liability purchase and assumption, the Corporation recorded a net deferred income tax liability of $620,000 related to the tax attributes of the transaction.

The following table presents actual operating results attributable to Saddle River since the August 1, 2012 assumption date through December 31, 2012. This information does not include purchase accounting adjustments or acquisition integration costs.

Net interest income	$	1,352
Non-interest income		15
Non-interest expense and income taxes		(763)
Net income	$	604

The Corporation has not provided pro forma information for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012 as if the asset/liability purchase and assumption of Saddle River had occurred as of January 1, 2012. There is no consistent level base for objective comparison as product balances declined on a steady basis from the agreement date to assumption date and the closing date and accordingly such disclosures are considered impractical. The application of those disclosures would require a significant estimate of amounts, and it is impossible to distinguish objective information about those estimates that both provide evidence of circumstances that existed at the reporting dates, and would have been available when the financial statements for the prior periods were issued.

Certain loans, for which specific credit-related deterioration was identified, are recorded at fair value, reflecting the present value of the amounts expected to be collected. Income recognition on these loans is based on a reasonable expectation of the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected. The timing of the sale of loan collateral was estimated for acquired loans deemed impaired and considered collateral dependent. For these collateral dependent impaired loans, the excess of the future expected cash flow over the present value of the future expected cash flow represents the accretable yield, which will be accreted into interest income over the estimated liquidation period using the effective interest method. The aggregate contractual cash flows less the aggregate expected cash flows result in a credit related non-accretable yield amount or difference.  The nonaccretable balance at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $0 and $71,000, respectively. The following table details the loans that are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 310-30 as of August 1, 2012:

(Dollars in thousands)
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition	$	2,101
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (nonaccretable difference)		(982)
Expected cash flows at acquisition		1,119
Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable discount)		(161)
Fair value of acquired loans accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30	$	958

The following table presents the changes in accretable discount related to purchased-credit-impaired loans:

	December 31,
	2013		2012
	(in thousands)
Accretable discount balance, beginning of period	$	130	$	—
Additions resulting from acquisition		—		161
Accretion to interest income		(130)		(31)
Accretable discount, end of period	$	—	$	130

Acquired loans not subject to the requirements of FASB ASC 310-30 are recorded at fair value. The fair value mark on each of these loans will be accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan. The following table details loans that are not accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 310-30 as of August 1, 2012:

(Dollars in thousands)
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition	$	50,917
