PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation (the “Holding Company”), a Delaware corporation, is the operation of its wholly owned subsidiary, Flushing Bank (the “Bank”).

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) include the collective results of the Holding Company and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the Bank, Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation, Flushing Service Corporation, and FSB Properties Inc., which are collectively herein referred to as “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company.”

The Holding Company also owns Flushing Financial Capital Trust II, Flushing Financial Capital Trust III, and Flushing Financial Capital Trust IV (the “Trusts”), which are special purpose business trusts. The Trusts are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as the Company would not absorb the losses of the Trusts if any losses were to occur.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such presented periods of the Company. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

When necessary, certain reclassifications were made to prior-year amounts to conform to the current-year presentation.

2. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term are used in connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”), the evaluation of goodwill for impairment, the review of the need for a valuation allowance of the Company’s deferred tax assets, the fair value of financial instruments and the evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on securities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

3. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:

	For the three months ended   March 31,
	2019			2018
	(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Net income, as reported	$	7,068		$	11,412
Divided by:
Weighted average common shares outstanding		28,621			28,974
Weighted average common stock equivalents		–			1
Total weighted average common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents		28,621			28,975
Basic earnings per common share	$	0.25		$	0.39
Diluted earnings per common share (1)	$	0.25		$	0.39
Dividend payout ratio		84.0	%		51.3	%

(1) For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no common stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive.

OTTI losses on impaired securities must be fully recognized in earnings if an investor has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not that the investor will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost. However, even if an investor does not expect to sell a debt security in an unrealized loss position, the investor must evaluate the expected cash flows to be received and determine if a credit loss has occurred. In the event that a credit loss has occurred, only the amount of impairment associated with the credit loss is recognized in earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Amounts relating to factors other than credit losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) within Stockholders’ Equity. Unrealized losses on available for sale securities, that are deemed to be temporary, are recorded in AOCL, net of tax.

The Company reviewed each investment that had an unrealized loss at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The unrealized losses in held-to-maturity municipal securities at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were caused by illiquidity in the market and movements in interest rates. The unrealized losses in held-to-maturity FNMA securities at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were caused by movements in interest rates. The unrealized losses in securities available for sale at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were caused by movements in interest rates.

It is not anticipated that these securities would be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Each of these securities is performing according to its terms and, in the opinion of management, will continue to perform according to its terms. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of the securities’ amortized cost basis. This conclusion is based upon considering the Company’s cash and working capital requirements and contractual and regulatory obligations, none of which the Company believes would cause the sale of the securities. Therefore, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Realized gains and losses on the sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method. The Company did not sell any securities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

5. Loans

Loans are reported at their outstanding principal balance net of any unearned income, charge-offs, deferred loan fees and costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Loan fees and certain loan origination costs are deferred. Net loan origination costs and premiums or discounts on loans purchased are amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the loans using the level-yield method. Prepayment penalties received on loans which pay in full prior to their scheduled maturity are included in interest income in the period they are collected.

Interest on loans is recognized on the accrual basis. The accrual of income on loans is generally discontinued when certain factors, such as contractual delinquency of 90 days or more, indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectability of such income. Uncollected interest previously recognized on non-accrual loans is reversed from interest income at the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status. A non-accrual loan can be returned to accrual status when contractual delinquency returns to less than 90 days delinquent. Payments received on non-accrual loans that do not bring the loan to less than 90 days delinquent are recorded on a cash basis. Payments can also be applied first as a reduction of principal until all principal is recovered and then subsequently to interest, if in management’s opinion, it is evident that recovery of all principal due is likely to occur.

The Company recognizes a loan as non-performing when the borrower has demonstrated the inability to bring the loan current, or due to other circumstances which, in management’s opinion, indicate the borrower will be unable to bring the loan current within a reasonable time. All loans classified as non-performing, which includes all loans past due 90 days or more, are classified as non-accrual unless the loan is well secured and there is, in our opinion, compelling evidence the borrower will bring the loan current in the immediate future. Prior to a real estate secured loan becoming 90 days delinquent, an updated appraisal is ordered and/or an internal evaluation is prepared.

A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information, the Company believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due, both principal and interest, in accordance with the original terms of the loan. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or at the loan’s observable market price or, as a practical expedient, the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. All non-accrual loans are considered impaired.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses at an amount, which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectability of loans. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available. An unallocated component may at times be maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. When necessary an unallocated component of the allowance will reflect the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. The allowance is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the various components of the loan portfolio and other factors, including historical loan loss experience (which is updated quarterly), current economic conditions, delinquency and non-accrual trends, classified loan levels, risk in the portfolio and volumes and trends in loan types, recent trends in charge-offs, changes in underwriting standards, experience, ability and depth of the Company’s lenders, collection policies and experience, internal loan review function and other external factors. When a loan or a portion of a loan is determined to be uncollectible, the portion deemed uncollectible is charged against the allowance, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses includes estimates that are susceptible to significant changes due to changes in appraisal values of collateral, national and local economic conditions and other factors. We review our loan portfolio by separate categories with similar risk and collateral characteristics. Impaired loans are segregated and reviewed separately.

The Company reviews each impaired loan on an individual basis to determine if either a charge-off or a valuation allowance needs to be allocated to the loan. The Company does not charge-off or allocate a valuation allowance to loans for which management has concluded the current value of the underlying collateral will allow for recovery of the loan balance through the sale of the loan or by foreclosure and sale of the property.

The Company considers fair value of collateral dependent loans to be 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property. The 85% is based on the actual net proceeds the Bank has received from the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) as a percentage of OREO’s appraised value. For collateral dependent taxi medallion loans, the Company considers fair value to be the value of the underlying medallion based upon the most recently reported arm’s length sales transaction. When there is no recent sale activity, the fair value is calculated using capitalization rates. For both collateral dependent mortgage loans and taxi medallion loans, the amount by which the loan’s book value exceeds fair value is charged-off.

The Company evaluates the underlying collateral through a third party appraisal, or when a third party appraisal is not available, the Company will use an internal evaluation. The internal evaluations are prepared using an income approach or a sales approach. The income approach is used for income producing properties and uses current revenues less operating expenses to determine the net cash flow of the property. Once the net cash flow is determined, the value of the property is calculated using an appropriate capitalization rate for the property. The sales approach uses comparable sales prices in the market. When an internal evaluation is used, we place greater reliance on the income approach to value the collateral.

The Company may restructure a loan to enable a borrower experiencing financial difficulties to continue making payments when it is deemed to be in the Company’s best long-term interest. This restructure may include reducing the interest rate or amount of the monthly payment for a specified period of time, after which the interest rate and repayment terms revert to the original terms of the loan. We classify these loans as Troubled Debt Restructured (“TDR”).

The Company believes that restructuring these loans in this manner will allow certain borrowers to become and remain current on their loans. All loans classified as TDR are considered impaired, however TDR loans which have been current for six consecutive months at the time they are restructured as TDR remain on accrual status and are not included as part of non-performing loans. Loans which were delinquent at the time they are restructured as a TDR are placed on non-accrual status and reported as non-accrual performing TDR loans until they have made timely payments for six consecutive months. These restructurings have not included a reduction of principal balance.

The allocation of a portion of the allowance for loan losses for a performing TDR loan is based upon the present value of the future expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective rate, or for a non-performing TDR loan which is collateral dependent, the fair value of the collateral. At March 31, 2019, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were modified to a TDR. The modification of loans to a TDR did not have a significant effect on our operating results, nor did it require a significant allocation of the allowance for loan losses.

There were no loan modifications as TDR during three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

In accordance with our policy and the current regulatory guidelines, we designate loans as “Special Mention,” which are considered “Criticized Loans,” and “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” or “Loss,” which are considered “Classified Loans”. If a loan does not fall within one of the previous mentioned categories then the loan would be considered “Pass.” Loans that are non-accrual are designated as Substandard, Doubtful or Loss. These loan designations are updated quarterly. We designate a loan as Substandard when a well-defined weakness is identified that may jeopardize the orderly liquidation of the debt. We designate a loan Doubtful when it displays the inherent weakness of a Substandard loan with the added provision that collection of the debt in full, on the basis of existing facts, is highly improbable. We designate a loan as Loss if it is deemed the debtor is incapable of repayment. The Company does not hold any loans designated as Loss, as loans that are designated as Loss are charged to the Allowance for Loan Losses. We designate a loan as Special Mention if the asset does not warrant classification within one of the other classifications, but does contain a potential weakness that deserves closer attention.

The following table sets forth the recorded investment in loans designated as Criticized or Classified at the periods indicated:

6. Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank did not have any loans held for sale.

The Company has implemented a strategy of selling certain delinquent and non-performing loans. Once the Company has decided to sell a loan, the sale usually closes in a short period of time, generally within the same quarter. Loans designated held for sale are reclassified from loans held for investment to loans held for sale. Terms of sale include cash due upon the closing of the sale, no contingencies or recourse to the Company and servicing is released to the buyer. Additionally, at times the Company may sell participating interests in performing loans.

The following tables show loans sold during the period indicated:

	For the three months ended March 31, 2019

8. Leases

The Company has 19 operating leases for branches and office spaces, nine operating leases for vehicles, and two operating leases for equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from one month to 13 years, none of which has a renewal option reasonably certain of exercise, which has been reflected in the Company’s calculation of lease term.

The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption such that the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of less than 12 months from the commencement date. The Company has one agreement that qualifies as a short-term lease with expense totaling $34,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, included in Professional services on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company has $0.2 million in variable lease payments, which include insurance and real estate tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019. At March 31, 2019, the weighted-average remaining lease term for our operating leases is eight years and the weighted average discount rate is 3.8%. At March 31, 2019, there were no significant leases entered into but not yet commenced. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.

9.  Stock-Based Compensation

On January 31, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a 2019 long-term incentive compensation program for certain Company executive officers that includes grants of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) in addition to time-based restricted stock units (“RSU”). Under the terms of the PRSU Agreement, the number of PRSUs that may be earned depends on the extent to which performance goals for the award are achieved over a three-year performance period, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The number of PRSUs that may be earned ranges from 0% to 150% of the target award, with no PRSUs earned for below threshold-level performance, 50% of PRSUs earned for threshold-level performance, 100% of PRSUs earned for target-level performance, and 150% of PRSUs earned for maximum-level performance.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s net income, as reported, included $4.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation costs and $1.0 million and $0.7 million of income tax benefits, respectively, related to the stock-based compensation plans in each of the periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted 263,574 and 57,870 in RSU awards and PRSU awards, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company granted 274,990 in RSU awards. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company has not granted stock options since 2009 and at March 31, 2019, had none outstanding.

The Company uses the fair value of the common stock on the date of award to measure compensation cost for restricted stock unit awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period of the award using the straight-line method.

The following table summarizes the Company’s RSU and PRSU awards at or for the three months ended March 31, 2019 :

	RSU Awards					PRSU Awards
	Shares			Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value		Shares			Weighted-Average Grant-DateFair Value
Non-vested at December 31, 2018		502,658		$	24.93		–		$	–
Granted		263,574			22.38		57,870			22.38
Vested		(248,579	)		23.17		(27,110	)		22.38
Forfeited		(7,270	)		24.94		–			–
Non-vested at March 31, 2019		510,383		$	24.47		30,760		$	22.38
Vested but unissued at March 31, 2019		209,148		$	24.64		21,310		$	22.38

As of March 31, 2019, there was $11.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSU and PRSU awards granted. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.6 years. The total fair value of awards vested for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $6.1 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The vested but unissued RSU awards consist of awards made to employees and directors who are eligible for retirement. According to the terms of these awards, which provide for vesting upon retirement, these employees and directors have no risk of forfeiture. These shares will be issued at the original contractual vesting and settlement dates.

Phantom Stock Plan: The Company maintains a non-qualified phantom stock plan as a supplement to its profit sharing plan for officers who have achieved the designated level and completed one year of service. The Company adjusts its liability under this plan to the fair value of the shares at the end of each period.

The following table summarizes the Phantom Stock Plan at or for the three months ended March 31, 2019:

Phantom Stock Plan	Shares			Fair Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2018		99,313		$	21.53
Granted		8,168			22.15
Distributions		(1,004	)		22.01
Outstanding at March 31, 2019		106,477		$	21.93
Vested at March 31, 2019		105,935		$	21.93

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense (benefit) for the Phantom Stock Plan of $0.1 million and ($37,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The total fair value of the distributions from the Phantom Stock Plan was $22,000 and $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company does not expect to make a contribution to the Employee Pension Plan (the “Employee Pension Plan”). As of March 31, 2019, the Company had contributed $36,000 to the Outside Director Pension Plan and $15,000 in contributions were made to the Other Postretirement Benefit Plans. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has not revised its expected contributions for the year ending December 31, 2019.

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company carries certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value in accordance with GAAP which defines fair value as 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. GAAP permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. At March 31, 2019, the Company carried financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option with fair values of $14.0 million and $42.9 million, respectively. At December 31, 2018, the Company carried financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option with fair values of $13.8 million and $41.8 million, respectively. The Company did not elect to carry any additional financial assets or financial liabilities under the fair value option during the three ended March 31, 2019.

The following table presents the financial assets and financial liabilities reported at fair value under the fair value option, and the changes in fair value included in the Consolidated Statement of Income – Net gain (loss) from fair value adjustments, at or for the periods ended as indicated:

		Fair Value		Fair Value		Changes in Fair Values For Items Measured at Fair Value
		Measurements		Measurements		Pursuant to Election of the Fair Value Option

Net loss from fair value adjustments (1)					$	(1,030	)	$	(1,830	)

(1) The net loss from fair value adjustments presented in the above table does not include net (losses) gains of ($1.1) million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, from the change in the fair value of interest rate swaps.

Included in the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities selected for the fair value option is the accrued interest receivable or payable for the related instrument. The Company reports as interest income or interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income, the interest receivable or payable on the financial instruments selected for the fair value option at their respective contractual rates.

The borrowed funds had a contractual principal amount of $61.9 million at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The fair value of borrowed funds includes accrued interest payable of $0.3 million and $0.2 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company generally holds its earning assets, other than securities available for sale, to maturity and settles its liabilities at maturity. However, fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular instrument. Accordingly, as assumptions change, such as interest rates and prepayments, fair value estimates change and these amounts may not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale.

Disclosure of fair value does not require fair value information for items that do not meet the definition of a financial instrument or certain other financial instruments specifically excluded from its requirements. These items include core deposit intangibles and other customer relationships, premises and equipment, leases, income taxes and equity.

Further, fair value disclosure does not attempt to value future income or business. These items may be material and accordingly, the fair value information presented does not purport to represent, nor should it be construed to represent, the underlying “market” or franchise value of the Company.

Financial assets and financial liabilities reported at fair value are required to be measured based on either: (1) quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments (Level 1); (2) significant other observable inputs (Level 2); or (3) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

A description of the methods and significant assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Level 1 – where quoted market prices are available in an active market. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Level 1 included one mutual fund.

Level 2 – when quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar financial instruments and adjusted for differences between the quoted instrument and the instrument being valued. Fair value can also be estimated by using pricing models, or discounted cash flows. Pricing models primarily use market-based or independently sourced market parameters as inputs, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, equity or debt prices and credit spreads. In addition to observable market information, models also incorporate maturity and cash flow assumptions. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Level 2 included mortgage related securities, corporate debt, municipals and interest rate swaps.

(Unaudited)

Level 3 – when there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, financial instruments are classified as Level 3. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Level 3 included trust preferred securities owned and junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company.

The methods described above may produce fair values that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While the Company believes, its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies, assumptions and models to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could produce different estimates of fair value at the reporting date.

The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis and their respective category in the fair value hierarchy, at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

Securities:

The fair values of securities are contained in Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities and adjusted for differences between the quoted instrument and the instrument being valued. When there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are valued using discounted cash flows.

Impaired Loans:

For non-accruing loans, fair value is generally estimated by discounting management’s estimate of future cash flows with a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with such assets or, for collateral dependent loans, 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property, except for taxi medallion loans. The fair value of the underlying collateral of taxi medallion loans is the most recent reported arm’s length transaction. When there is no recent sale activity, the fair value is calculated using capitalization rates. See Note 5 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (“loans”).

Junior Subordinated Debentures:

The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures was developed using a credit spread based on the subordinated debt issued by the Company adjusting for differences in the junior subordinated debt’s credit rating, liquidity and time to maturity. The unrealized net gain/loss attributable to changes in our own credit risk was determined by adjusting the fair value as determined in the proceeding sentence by the average rate of default on debt instruments with a similar debt rating as our junior subordinated debentures, with the difference from the original calculation and this calculation resulting in the instrument-specific unrealized gain/loss.

Interest Rate Swaps:

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based upon broker quotes.

12. Derivative Financial Instruments

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate swaps. The Company’s interest rate swaps are used for three purposes: 1) to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on a portion ($18.0 million) of its floating rate junior subordinated debentures that have a contractual value of $61.9 million, at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018; 2) to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on certain fixed rate loans totaling $284.2 million and $286.1 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively; and 3) to mitigate exposure to rising interest rates on certain short-term advances totaling $441.5 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we held derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges and certain derivatives not designated as hedges.

The Company’s derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements as part of Other Assets for derivatives with positive fair values and Other Liabilities for derivatives with negative fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or not it qualifies and has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $36.3 million were not designated as hedges. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $265.8 million and $267.8 million were designated as fair value hedges. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, derivatives with a combined notional amount of $441.5 million were designated as cash flow hedges.

For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is reported in AOCL, net of tax. Amounts in AOCL are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction effects earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, $0.2 million was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense.

15. Regulatory Capital

Under current capital regulations, the Bank is required to comply with four separate capital adequacy standards. As of March 31, 2019, the Bank continues to be categorized as “well-capitalized” under the prompt corrective action regulations and continues to exceed all regulatory capital requirements. The Bank is also required to comply with a Capital Conservation Buffer (“CCB”). The CCB is designed to establish a capital range above minimum capital requirements and impose constraints on dividends, share buybacks and discretionary bonus payments when capital levels fall below prescribed levels. The minimum CCB is 2.500%. The CCB for the Bank at March 31, 2019 was 5.49%.

16. New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019:

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet, makes targeted changes to lessor accounting, and enhances disclosures to include key information about leasing arrangements. An entity may adopt the new guidance by either restating prior periods and recording a cumulative effect adjustment at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented (the modified retrospective transition approach) or by recording a cumulative adjustment at the beginning of the period of adoption (the additional transition method). The Company adopted this standard using the additional transition method approach and elected to use the effective date, January 1, 2019, as the date of initial application. As part of the Company’s adoption of ASC 842, the Company undertook a detailed scoping exercise to identify all leasing arrangements subject to the new leasing guidance and believes that all arrangements that meet the definition of a lease under historic US GAAP will continue to meet the definition of a lease under ASC 842. Upon adoption, the Company recorded right of use assets totaling $45.4 million and operating lease liabilities totaling $54.0 million. Additionally, a deferred gain from the sale of buildings totaling $2.7 million, net of tax, was reclassified to retained earnings.

As the rate implicit in each of the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company is required to apply the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to calculate the lease liability and right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for its leasing arrangements. The Company has used its unsecured Kroll rating as a starting point for calculation of the IBR and will adjust for considerations of collateral (i.e., notch the Company’s Kroll rating from an unsecured to a secured rating). The Company will also consider lease renewal options reasonably certain of exercise for purposes of determining the term of the underlying borrowing. The Company has considered various other factors, including, economic environment and determined that these factors do not currently impact the Company’s IBR calculation. The Company will continue to assess the appropriateness of the conclusions reached herein with respect to each of the factors discussed above and will determine the appropriate IBR for each new lease arrangement or modification, as required.

The new leasing standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company has elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits the Company not to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to the Company. ASC 842 also provides certain accounting policy elections for an entity’s ongoing accounting. For operating leases wherein the Company is the lessee, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. See Note 8 “Leases” for additional information.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” providing targeted improvements to the accounting for hedging activities, which is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted in any interim period or fiscal year before the effective date. The guidance introduces a number of amendments, several of which are optional, that are designed to simplify the application of hedge accounting, improve financial statement transparency and more closely align hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management strategies. This ASU eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and changes the presentation so that all items that affect earnings are in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The Company adopted this standard January 1, 2019, as the date of initial application. As a result of adoption, fair value adjustments on qualifying fair value hedges were recorded in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2019. These adjustments were recorded in non-interest income in prior periods. See Note 12 “Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information.

Accounting Standards Pending Adoption:

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20)” providing targeted improvements to the disclosures required for Defined Benefit Plans. The amendments in in this Update are effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)”. The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this ASU, the Company should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The impairment charge is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial positions, results of operations or disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” which sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (“CECL”) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and will apply to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has been collecting and evaluating data and system requirements to implement this standard. Management has developed inter-departmental steering and working committees to evaluate and implement CECL. We have chosen a vendor solution to model CECL results and are in the middle stages of implementing this solution. The adoption of this update could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The extent of the impact is still unknown and will depend on many factors, such as the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio and expected loss history at adoption.

Executive Summary

We are a Delaware corporation organized in May 1994. The Bank was organized in 1929 as a New York State-chartered mutual savings bank. Today the Bank operates as a full-service New York State commercial bank. The Bank’s primary regulator is the New York State Department of Financial Services, and its primary federal regulator is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Deposits are insured to the maximum allowable amount by the FDIC. Additionally, the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system. The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation has been the operation of the Bank. The Bank owns three subsidiaries: Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation, Flushing Service Corporation, and FSB Properties Inc. The Bank also operates an internet branch, which operates under the brands of iGObanking.com® and BankPurely® (the “Internet Branch”). The activities of Flushing Financial Corporation are primarily funded by dividends, if any, received from the Bank, issuances of subordinated debt, junior subordinated debt, and issuances of equity securities. Flushing Financial Corporation’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “FFIC.”

Our principal business is attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those deposits together with funds generated from ongoing operations and borrowings, primarily in (1) originations and purchases of multi-family residential loans, commercial business loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, one-to-four family loans (focusing on mixed-use properties, which are properties that contain both residential dwelling units and commercial units); (2) Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and other small business loans; (3) construction loans; (4) mortgage loan surrogates such as mortgage-backed securities; and (5) U.S. government securities, corporate fixed-income securities and other marketable securities. We also originate certain other consumer loans including overdraft lines of credit. Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on our interest-earning assets and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the result of our net interest rate margin, which is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, adjusted for the difference in the average balance of interest-earning assets as compared to the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. We also generate non-interest income primarily from loan fees, service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage servicing fees, and other fees, income earned on Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”), dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB-NY”) stock and net gains and losses on sales of securities and loans. Our operating expenses consist principally of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, other general and administrative expenses and income tax expense. Our results of operations also can be significantly affected by changes in the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities for which changes in value are recorded through earnings, our periodic provision for loan losses and specific provision for losses on real estate owned.

Management’s Discussions and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our strategy is to continue our focus on being an institution serving consumers, businesses, and governmental units in our local markets. In furtherance of this objective, we intend to:

· manage cost of funds and continue to improve funding mix;

· increase interest income by leveraging loan pricing opportunities and portfolio mix;

· enhance earnings power by improving scalability and efficiency;

· manage credit risk;

· remain well capitalized;

· increase our commitment to the multi-cultural marketplace, with a particular focus on the Asian community;

· manage enterprise-wide risk.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively implement this strategy. Our strategy is subject to change by the Board of Directors.

Our investment policy, which is approved by the Board of Directors, is designed primarily to manage the interest rate sensitivity of our overall assets and liabilities, to generate a favorable return without incurring undue interest rate risk and credit risk, to complement our lending activities and to provide and maintain liquidity. In establishing our investment strategies, we consider our business and growth strategies, the economic environment, our interest rate risk exposure, our interest rate sensitivity “gap” position, the types of securities to be held and other factors. We classify our investment securities as available for sale or held-to-maturity.

We carry a portion of our financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value and record changes in their fair value through earnings in non-interest income on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. A description of the financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value through earnings can be found in Note 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Rate over volume remains a major strategic focus. During the first quarter of 2019, we continued to experience improvement on rates recognized on new loans, as rates received increased 12 basis points to 5.02% from 4.90% for three months ended December 31, 2018 and 75 basis points from 4.27% for the comparable quarter of 2018. During the recent quarter, approximately 78% of our new loans were adjustable rate products.

The yield on interest-earning assets increased four basis points to 4.29% during the three months ended March 31, 2019, from 4.25% for the three months ended December 31, 2018, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased three basis points to 1.93% from 1.90% during the same period. This resulted in the net interest margin remaining flat at 2.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and for the linked quarter.

Non-performing assets decreased by 3.2% since December 31, 2018. The allowance for loan losses to gross loans was 0.38% while the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans increased to 134% from 129% in the linked quarter. The loan-to-value on our non-performing real estate loans at March 31, 2019 remains conservative at 33.9%. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 we recorded net charge-offs of $0.9 million primarily due to one commercial business loan relationship written-down $1.1 million to a remaining book balance of $0.9 million.

The Bank and Company are subject to the same regulatory capital requirements. See Note 15 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements “Regulatory Capital.”

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED

MARCH 31, 2019 AND 2018

General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $7.1 million, a decrease of $4.3 million, or 38.1%, compared to $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.25 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $0.14, or 35.9%, from $0.39 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Return on average equity decreased to 5.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 8.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Return on average assets decreased to 0.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 0.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Interest Income. Interest and dividend income increased $9.0 million, or 14.9%, to $69.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $60.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to an increase of $422.4 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $6,521.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $6,098.7 million for the comparable prior year period, combined with an increase of 29 basis points in the yield of interest-earning assets to 4.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, from 4.00% in the comparable prior year period. The increase in the yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to an increase of $313.3 million in the average balance of total loans, net, which have a higher yield than the yield of total interest-earning assets, partially offset by an increase of $93.5 million in the average balance of total securities, which have a lower yield than the yield of total interest-earning assets. The yield of interest-earning assets also improved due to increases of 29 basis points, 35 basis points and 60 basis points in the yields of total loans, net, taxable securities and tax-exempt securities, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from the comparable prior year period. Additionally, the yield on interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold increased 84 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2019, from the comparable prior year period due to increases in the Federal Funds rate. The increase of 29 basis points in the yield on the total loans, net, was primarily due to loans being both originated and repriced at higher rates. The 35 basis points in taxable securities and 60 basis points in tax-exempt securities primarily resulted from the positive effect of the sale of lower yielding securities in fourth quarter of 2018 and purchases of new securities at higher yields than the existing portfolio yield. Excluding prepayment penalty income, recovered interest from loans and net losses from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges, the yield on total loans, net, would have increased 31 basis points to 4.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 4.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $9.8 million, or 54.1%, to $28.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, from $18.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase of 59 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 1.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, from 1.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, combined with an increase of $368.7 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $5,811.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, from $5,442.6 million for the comparable prior year period. The 59 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to increases in the rates we pay on some of our deposit products to stay competitive within our market and in borrowing costs.

Net Interest Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net interest income was $41.8 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 1.9%, from $42.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to the 59 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 1.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, from 1.34% for the comparable prior year period, partially offset by an increase of 29 basis points in the yield of interest-earning assets to 4.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to 4.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The effects of the above on both the net interest spread and net interest margin were decreases of 30 basis points to 2.36% and 24 basis points to 2.57%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Included in net interest income was prepayment penalty income from loans totaling $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, recovered interest from non-accrual loans totaling $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and net losses from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges totaling $0.6 million for three months ended March 31, 2019. Excluding prepayment penalty income, recovered interest, and net losses from fair value adjustment on qualifying hedges, the net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 2.52%, a decrease of 22 basis points, as compared to 2.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Provision for Loan Losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, a provision for loan losses was recorded for $1.0 million, compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The provision was a result of one commercial business loan relationship written down by $1.1 million to a remaining book balance of $0.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Bank recorded net charge-offs totaling $0.9 million, while non-accrual loans decreased $0.5 million to $15.7 million from $16.3 million at December 31, 2018. The current average loan-to-value ratio for our non-performing loans collateralized by real estate was 33.9% at March 31, 2019. The Bank continues to maintain conservative underwriting standards. We anticipate that we will continue to experience low loss content in our loan portfolio. See “Allowance for Loan Losses” below and Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements “Loans”.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.9 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 70.5%, from $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to an increase of $2.0 million in net losses from fair value adjustments, combined with a decrease of $0.7 million in life insurance proceeds as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. These decreases were partially offset by a gain on sale of loans for $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to a loss on sale of loans for $0.3 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense was $32.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $1.1 million, or 3.6%, from $31.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was due to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards upon an employees’ death totaling $0.5 million, and due to the growth of the Bank increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment and depreciation expenses.

Income before Income Taxes. Income before the provision for income taxes decreased $5.0 million, or 34.9%, to $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 for the reasons discussed above.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 22.5%, from $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The effective tax rate increased to 24.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, from 20.5% in the comparable prior year period primarily due to a reduction in tax preferential items, which resulted in an increase in effective tax rate .

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets. Total assets at March 31, 2019 were $6,867.5 million, an increase of $33.3 million, or 0.5%, from $6,834.2 million at December 31, 2018. Total loans, net increased $37.2 million, or 0.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $5,567.7 million from $5,530.5 million at December 31, 2018. Loan originations and purchases were $198.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $143.8 million, or 42.1%, from $341.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we continued to focus on the origination of multi-family residential, commercial real estate and commercial business loans with a full banking relationship. The loan pipeline increased to $274.8 million at March 31, 2019, compared to $196.6 million at December 31, 2018.

Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.23% at March 31, 2019 compared to 0.24% at December 31, 2018. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total non-performing loans was 133.55% at March 31, 2019 and 128.87% at December 31, 2018.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, mortgage-backed securities including held-to-maturity increased $21.2 million, or 3.8%, to $587.1 million from $565.9 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to purchases of $33.8 million at an average yield of 3.37% and an increase in the fair value of $4.7 million, partially offset by principal repayments of $16.8 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, other securities, including held-to-maturity, increased $0.6 million, or 0.2%, to $289.4 million from $288.8 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in other securities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to purchases totaling $12.1 million at an average yield of 4.62% and an increase in fair value of $3.6 million, partially offset by calls and maturities of municipals securities totaling $13.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively. At March 31, 2019 other securities primarily consist of securities issued by mutual or bond funds that invest in government and government agency securities, municipal bonds, corporate bonds and CLO’s.

Liabilities. Total liabilities were $6,307.9 million at March 31, 2019, an increase of $23.2 million, or 0.4%, from $6,284.7 million at December 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to depositors increased $94.2 million, or 1.9%, to $5,010.1 million due to increases of $145.7 million in non-maturity deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $51.5 million in certificates of deposit. Included in deposits were brokered deposits totaling $173.0 million, a decrease of $128.6 million from $301.7 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in non-maturity deposits was due to increase of $241.8 million in NOW accounts, partially offset by decreases of $75.1 million, $12.7 million and $8.2 million in money market, demand and savings accounts, respectively. Borrowed funds decreased $134.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in borrowed funds was primarily due to a decrease in FHLB-NY short-term borrowings as funding needs were provided by increased deposits.

Equity. Total stockholders’ equity increased $10.1 million, or 1.8%, to $559.6 million at March 31, 2019 from $549.5 million at December 31, 2018. Stockholders’ equity increased primarily due to net income of $7.1 million and the net impact of vesting and exercising of shares of employee and director stock plans totaling $4.1 million. Additionally, stockholders’ equity was also positively impacted by a decrease of $2.2 million in other comprehensive loss. These increases were partially offset the declaration and payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock of $0.21 per common share totaling $6.0 million. Book value per common share was $19.85 at March 31, 2019 compared to $19.64 at December 31, 2018.

Cash flow. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, funds provided by the Company's operating activities amounted to $11.8 million. These funds, combined with $118.6 million available from the beginning of the period were utilized to fund $24.1 million and $47.6 million used in financing activities and investing activities, respectively. The Company's primary business objective is the origination and purchase of multi-family residential loans, commercial business loans and commercial real estate mortgage loans and to a lesser extent one-to-four family (including mixed-use properties) and SBA loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the net total of loan originations and purchases less loan repayments and sales was $39.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company also funded $45.7 million in purchases of securities available for sale and $0.2 million of securities held-to-maturity. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, funds were provided by net increases in total deposits of $119.4 million. In addition to funding loan growth, these funds were used to repay $84.3 million in short-term borrowings and $51.3 million in long-term borrowings. The Company also used funds of $6.0 million for dividend payments during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Consolidated Statements of Financial Position have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in fair value of certain investments due to changes in interest rates. Generally, the fair value of financial investments such as loans and securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could result in decreases in the fair value of the Company’s interest-earning assets which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations if such assets were sold, or, in the case of securities classified as available for sale, decreases in the Company’s stockholders’ equity, if such securities were retained.

The Company manages the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities on a continuous basis to maximize return and adjust its exposure to interest rate risk. On a quarterly basis, management prepares the “Earnings and Economic Exposure to Changes in Interest Rate” report for review by the Asset Liability Committee of the Board of Directors, as summarized below. This report quantifies the potential changes in net interest income and net portfolio value should interest rates go up or down (shocked) 200 basis points, assuming the yield curves of the rate shocks will be parallel to each other. The Company’s regulators currently place focus on the net portfolio value, focusing on a rate shock up or down of 200 basis points. Net portfolio value is defined as the market value of assets net of the market value of liabilities. The market value of assets and liabilities is determined using a discounted cash flow calculation. The net portfolio value ratio is the ratio of the net portfolio value to the market value of assets. All changes in income and value are measured as percentage changes from the projected net interest income and net portfolio value at the base interest rate scenario. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at March 31, 2019. Various estimates regarding prepayment assumptions are made at each level of rate shock. However, prepayment penalty income is excluded from this analysis. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. At March 31, 2019, the Company was within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for each interest rate level.

The following table presents the Company’s interest rate shock as of March 31, 2019:

	Projected Percentage Change In
Change in Interest Rate	Net Interest Income			Net Portfolio Value			Net Portfolio Value Ratio
-200 Basis points		10.38	%		26.00	%		12.10	%

AVERAGE BALANCES

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them. The following tables sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields include amortization of fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

Management’s Discussions and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CRITICIZED AND CLASSIFIED ASSETS

Our policy is to review our assets, focusing primarily on the loan portfolio, OREO and the investment portfolios, to ensure that credit quality is maintained at the highest levels. See Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements “Loans” for a description of how loans are determined to be criticized or classified and a table displaying criticized and classified loans at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company had classified other assets acquired through foreclosure totaling $35,000 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company did not hold any criticized or classified investment securities at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Our total Criticized and Classified assets were $47.2 million at March 31, 2019, a decrease of $5.8 million from $53.0 million at December 31, 2018.

On a quarterly basis, all non-accrual collateral dependent loans that are classified as Substandard or Doubtful are internally reviewed for impairment, based on updated cash flows for income producing properties, or updated independent appraisals. The loan balances of collateral dependent loans reviewed for impairment are then compared to the loans updated fair value. We consider fair value of collateral dependent loans to be 85% of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property, except for taxi medallion loans. The fair value of the underlying collateral of taxi medallion loans is the value of the underlying medallion based upon the most recently reported arm’s length transaction. When there is no recent sale activity, the fair value is calculated using the income approach. All taxi medallion loans are classified and impaired. For collateral dependent mortgage loans and taxi medallion loans, the portion of the loan balance which exceeds fair value is generally charged-off. At March 31, 2019, the current average loan-to-value ratio on our collateral dependent loans reviewed for impairment was 47.5%.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) represents the expense charged to earnings based upon management’s quarterly analysis of credit risk. The amount of the ALLL is based upon multiple factors that reflect management’s assessment of the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The factors are both quantitative and qualitative in nature including, but not limited to, historical losses, economic conditions, trends in delinquencies, value and adequacy of underlying collateral, volume and portfolio mix, and internal loan processes.

Management has developed a comprehensive analytical process to monitor the adequacy of the ALLL. The process and guidelines were developed using, among other factors, the guidance from federal banking regulatory agencies and GAAP. The results of this process, along with the conclusions of our independent loan review officer, support management’s assessment as to the adequacy of the ALLL at each balance sheet date. See Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements “Loans” for a detailed explanation of management’s methodology and policy.

As a component of the credit risk assessment, the Bank has established an Asset Classification Committee which carefully evaluates loans which are past due 90 days and/or are classified. The Asset Classification Committee thoroughly assesses the condition and circumstances surrounding each loan meeting the criteria. The Bank also has a Delinquency Committee that evaluates loans meeting specific criteria. The Bank’s loan policy requires loans to be placed into non-accrual status once the loan becomes 90 days delinquent unless there is, in our opinion, compelling evidence the borrower will bring the loan current in the immediate future.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the portion of ALLL related to loss history and qualitative factors increased due to growth in loan portfolio, particularly in commercial business loans. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the allocated component of the ALLL, as one loan relationship with an allocated reserve at December 31, 2018 made payments and was upgraded during the three months ended March 31, 2019, therefore an allocated component was reduced and the other relationship was partially charged-off. The impact from the above resulted in the ALLL totaling $21.0 million, an increase of $0.1 million or 0.3%, from December 31, 2018. Based upon management consistently applying the ALLL methodology and review of the loan portfolio, management concluded a charge to earnings totaling $1.0 million to increase the ALLL was warranted. The ALLL at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, represented 0.38% of gross loans outstanding. The ALLL represented 135.6% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2019 compared to 128.9% at December 31, 2018.

Management recommends to the Board of Directors the amount of the ALLL quarterly. The Board of Directors approves the ALLL.

Basis of Accounting [Text Block]

1. Basis of Presentation

The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation (the “Holding Company”), a Delaware corporation, is the operation of its wholly owned subsidiary, Flushing Bank (the “Bank”).

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form

10

-Q (“Quarterly Report”) include the collective results of the Holding Company and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the Bank, Flushing Preferred Funding Corporation, Flushing Service Corporation, and FSB Properties Inc., which are collectively herein referred to as “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company.”

The Holding Company also owns Flushing Financial Capital Trust II, Flushing Financial Capital Trust III, and Flushing Financial Capital Trust IV (the “Trusts”), which are special purpose business trusts. The Trusts are

not

included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as the Company would

not

absorb the losses of the Trusts if any losses were to occur.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such presented periods of the Company. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations in the interim statements are

not

necessarily indicative of the results that

may

be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form

10

-Q and Article

Rule

for interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10

-K for the year ended

December 31, 2018.

When necessary, certain reclassifications were made to prior-year amounts to conform to the current-year presentation.

Use of Estimates [Text Block]

2. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term are used in connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”), the evaluation of goodwill for impairment, the review of the need for a valuation allowance of the Company’s deferred tax assets, the fair value of financial instruments and the evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on securities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

OTTI losses on impaired securities must be fully recognized in earnings if an investor has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than

not

that the investor will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost. However, even if an investor does

not

expect to sell a debt security in an unrealized loss position, the investor must evaluate the expected cash flows to be received and determine if a credit loss has occurred. In the event that a credit loss has occurred, only the amount of impairment associated with the credit loss is recognized in earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Amounts relating to factors other than credit losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) within Stockholders’ Equity. Unrealized losses on available for sale securities, that are deemed to be temporary, are recorded in AOCL, net of tax.

The Company reviewed each investment that had an unrealized loss at

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018.

The unrealized losses in held-to-maturity municipal securities at

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018

were caused by illiquidity in the market and movements in interest rates. The unrealized losses in held-to-maturity FNMA securities at

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018

were caused by movements in interest rates. The unrealized losses in securities available for sale at

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018

were caused by movements in interest rates.

It is

not

anticipated that these securities would be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Each of these securities is performing according to its terms and, in the opinion of management, will continue to perform according to its terms. The Company does

not

have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than

not

the Company will

not

be required to sell the securities before recovery of the securities’ amortized cost basis. This conclusion is based upon considering the Company’s cash and working capital requirements and contractual and regulatory obligations,

none

of which the Company believes would cause the sale of the securities. Therefore, the Company did

not

consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018.

Realized gains and losses on the sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method. The Company did

not

sell any securities during the

three

months ended

Note 5 - Loans

Notes to Financial Statements

Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block]

5. Loans

Loans are reported at their outstanding principal balance net of any unearned income, charge-offs, deferred loan fees and costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Loan fees and certain loan origination costs are deferred. Net loan origination costs and premiums or discounts on loans purchased are amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the loans using the level-yield method. Prepayment penalties received on loans which pay in full prior to their scheduled maturity are included in interest income in the period they are collected.

Interest on loans is recognized on the accrual basis. The accrual of income on loans is generally discontinued when certain factors, such as contractual delinquency of

90

days or more, indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectability of such income. Uncollected interest previously recognized on non-accrual loans is reversed from interest income at the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status. A non-accrual loan can be returned to accrual status when contractual delinquency returns to less than

90

days delinquent. Payments received on non-accrual loans that do

not

bring the loan to less than

90

days delinquent are recorded on a cash basis. Payments can also be applied

first

as a reduction of principal until all principal is recovered and then subsequently to interest, if in management’s opinion, it is evident that recovery of all principal due is likely to occur.

The Company recognizes a loan as non-performing when the borrower has demonstrated the inability to bring the loan current, or due to other circumstances which, in management’s opinion, indicate the borrower will be unable to bring the loan current within a reasonable time. All loans classified as non-performing, which includes all loans past due

90

days or more, are classified as non-accrual unless the loan is well secured and there is, in our opinion, compelling evidence the borrower will bring the loan current in the immediate future. Prior to a real estate secured loan becoming

90

days delinquent, an updated appraisal is ordered and/or an internal evaluation is prepared.

A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information, the Company believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due, both principal and interest, in accordance with the original terms of the loan. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or at the loan’s observable market price or, as a practical expedient, the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. All non-accrual loans are considered impaired.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses at an amount, which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectability of loans. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available. An unallocated component

may

at times be maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. When necessary an unallocated component of the allowance will reflect the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. The allowance is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the various components of the loan portfolio and other factors, including historical loan loss experience (which is updated quarterly), current economic conditions, delinquency and non-accrual trends, classified loan levels, risk in the portfolio and volumes and trends in loan types, recent trends in charge-offs, changes in underwriting standards, experience, ability and depth of the Company’s lenders, collection policies and experience, internal loan review function and other external factors. When a loan or a portion of a loan is determined to be uncollectible, the portion deemed uncollectible is charged against the allowance, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses includes estimates that are susceptible to significant changes due to changes in appraisal values of collateral, national and local economic conditions and other factors. We review our loan portfolio by separate categories with similar risk and collateral characteristics. Impaired loans are segregated and reviewed separately.

The Company reviews each impaired loan on an individual basis to determine if either a charge-off or a valuation allowance needs to be allocated to the loan. The Company does

not

charge-off or allocate a valuation allowance to loans for which management has concluded the current value of the underlying collateral will allow for recovery of the loan balance through the sale of the loan or by foreclosure and sale of the property.

The Company considers fair value of collateral dependent loans to be

85%

of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property. The

85%

is based on the actual net proceeds the Bank has received from the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) as a percentage of OREO’s appraised value.

For collateral dependent taxi medallion loans, the Company considers fair value to be the value of the underlying medallion based upon the most recently reported arm’s length sales transaction. When there is

no

recent sale activity, the fair value is calculated using capitalization rates. For both collateral dependent mortgage loans and taxi medallion loans, the amount by which the loan’s book value exceeds fair value is charged-off.

The Company evaluates the underlying collateral through a

third

party appraisal, or when a

third

party appraisal is

not

available, the Company will use an internal evaluation. The internal evaluations are prepared using an income approach or a sales approach. The income approach is used for income producing properties and uses current revenues less operating expenses to determine the net cash flow of the property. Once the net cash flow is determined, the value of the property is calculated using an appropriate capitalization rate for the property. The sales approach uses comparable sales prices in the market. When an internal evaluation is used, we place greater reliance on the income approach to value the collateral.

The Company

may

restructure a loan to enable a borrower experiencing financial difficulties to continue making payments when it is deemed to be in the Company’s best long-term interest. This restructure

may

include reducing the interest rate or amount of the monthly payment for a specified period of time, after which the interest rate and repayment terms revert to the original terms of the loan. We classify these loans as Troubled Debt Restructured (“TDR”).

The Company believes that restructuring these loans in this manner will allow certain borrowers to become and remain current on their loans. All loans classified as TDR are considered impaired, however TDR loans which have been current for

six

consecutive months at the time they are restructured as TDR remain on accrual status and are

not

included as part of non-performing loans. Loans which were delinquent at the time they are restructured as a TDR are placed on non-accrual status and reported as non-accrual performing TDR loans until they have made timely payments for

six

consecutive months. These restructurings have

not

included a reduction of principal balance.

The allocation of a portion of the allowance for loan losses for a performing TDR loan is based upon the present value of the future expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective rate, or for a non-performing TDR loan which is collateral dependent, the fair value of the collateral. At

March 31, 2019,

there were

no

commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were modified to a TDR. The modification of loans to a TDR did

not

have a significant effect on our operating results, nor did it require a significant allocation of the allowance for loan losses.

There were

no

loan modifications as TDR during

three

months ended

March 31, 2019

and

2018.

The following table shows our recorded investment for loans classified as TDR that are performing according to their restructured terms at the periods indicated:

In accordance with our policy and the current regulatory guidelines, we designate loans as “Special Mention,” which are considered “Criticized Loans,” and “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” or “Loss,” which are considered “Classified Loans”. If a loan does

not

fall within

one

of the previous mentioned categories then the loan would be considered “Pass.” Loans that are non-accrual are designated as Substandard, Doubtful or Loss. These loan designations are updated quarterly. We designate a loan as Substandard when a well-defined weakness is identified that

may

jeopardize the orderly liquidation of the debt. We designate a loan Doubtful when it displays the inherent weakness of a Substandard loan with the added provision that collection of the debt in full, on the basis of existing facts, is highly improbable. We designate a loan as Loss if it is deemed the debtor is incapable of repayment. The Company does

not

hold any loans designated as Loss, as loans that are designated as Loss are charged to the Allowance for Loan Losses. We designate a loan as Special Mention if the asset does

not

warrant classification within

one

of the other classifications, but does contain a potential weakness that deserves closer attention.

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. At

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018,

the Bank did

not

have any loans held for sale.

The Company has implemented a strategy of selling certain delinquent and non-performing loans. Once the Company has decided to sell a loan, the sale usually closes in a short period of time, generally within the same quarter. Loans designated held for sale are reclassified from loans held for investment to loans held for sale. Terms of sale include cash due upon the closing of the sale,

no

contingencies or recourse to the Company and servicing is released to the buyer. Additionally, at times the Company

may

sell participating interests in performing loans.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Text Block]

9.  Stock-Based Compensation

On

January 31, 2019,

the Board of Directors approved a

2019

long-term incentive compensation program for certain Company executive officers that includes grants of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) in addition to time-based restricted stock units (“RSU”). Under the terms of the PRSU Agreement, the number of PRSUs that

may

be earned depends on the extent to which performance goals for the award are achieved over a

three

-year performance period, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The number of PRSUs that

may

be earned ranges from

0%

to

150%

of the target award, with

no

PRSUs earned for below threshold-level performance,

50%

of PRSUs earned for threshold-level performance,

100%

of PRSUs earned for target-level performance, and

150%

of PRSUs earned for maximum-level performance.

For the

three

months ended

March 31, 2019

and

2018,

the Company’s net income, as reported, included

$4.0

million and

$3.4

million, respectively, of stock-based compensation costs and

$1.0

million and

$0.7

million of income tax benefits, respectively, related to the stock-based compensation plans in each of the periods. During the

three

months ended

March 31, 2019,

the Company granted

263,574

and

57,870

in RSU awards and PRSU awards, respectively. During the

three

months ended

March 31, 2018,

the Company granted

274,990

in RSU awards. There were

no

stock options granted during the

three

months ended

March 31, 2019

and

2018.

The Company has

not

granted stock options since

2009

and at

March 31, 2019,

had

none

outstanding.

The Company uses the fair value of the common stock on the date of award to measure compensation cost for restricted stock unit awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period of the award using the straight-line method.

The following table summarizes the Company’s RSU and PRSU awards at or for the

three

three

months ended

March 31, 2019

and

2018

was

$6.1

million and

$6.7

million, respectively. The vested but unissued RSU awards consist of awards made to employees and directors who are eligible for retirement. According to the terms of these awards, which provide for vesting upon retirement, these employees and directors have

no

risk of forfeiture. These shares will be issued at the original contractual vesting and settlement dates.

Phantom Stock Plan:

The Company maintains a non-qualified phantom stock plan as a supplement to its profit sharing plan for officers who have achieved the designated level and completed

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company carries certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value in accordance with GAAP which defines fair value as 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. GAAP permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. At

March 31, 2019,

the Company carried financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option with fair values of

$14.0

million and

$42.9

million, respectively. At

December 31, 2018,

the Company carried financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option with fair values of

$13.8

million and

$41.8

million, respectively. The Company did

not

elect to carry any additional financial assets or financial liabilities under the fair value option during the

three

ended

March 31, 2019.

The following table presents the financial assets and financial liabilities reported at fair value under the fair value option, and the changes in fair value included in the Consolidated Statement of Income – Net gain (loss) from fair value adjustments, at or for the periods ended as indicated:

		Fair Value		Fair Value		Changes in Fair Values For Items Measured at Fair Value

Net loss from fair value adjustments (1)					$	(1,030	)	$	(1,830	)

( 1 ) The net loss from fair value adjustments presented in the above table does not include net (losses) gains of ( $1.1 ) million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, from the change in the fair value of interest rate swaps.

Included in the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities selected for the fair value option is the accrued interest receivable or payable for the related instrument. The Company reports as interest income or interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income, the interest receivable or payable on the financial instruments selected for the fair value option at their respective contractual rates.

The borrowed funds had a contractual principal amount of

$61.9

million at both

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018.

The fair value of borrowed funds includes accrued interest payable of

$0.3

million and

$0.2

million at

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018,

respectively.

The Company generally holds its earning assets, other than securities available for sale, to maturity and settles its liabilities at maturity. However, fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information. These estimates do

not

reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at

one

time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular instrument. Accordingly, as assumptions change, such as interest rates and prepayments, fair value estimates change and these amounts

may

not

necessarily be realized in an immediate sale.

Disclosure of fair value does

not

require fair value information for items that do

not

meet the definition of a financial instrument or certain other financial instruments specifically excluded from its requirements. These items include core deposit intangibles and other customer relationships, premises and equipment, leases, income taxes and equity.

Further, fair value disclosure does

not

attempt to value future income or business. These items

may

be material and accordingly, the fair value information presented does

not

purport to represent, nor should it be construed to represent, the underlying “market” or franchise value of the Company.

Financial assets and financial liabilities reported at fair value are required to be measured based on either: (

1

) quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments (Level

1

); (

2

) significant other observable inputs (Level

2

); or (

3

) significant unobservable inputs (Level

3

).

A description of the methods and significant assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Level

1

– where quoted market prices are available in an active market. At

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018,

Level

1

included

one

mutual fund.

Level

2

– when quoted market prices are

not

available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar financial instruments and adjusted for differences between the quoted instrument and the instrument being valued. Fair value can also be estimated by using pricing models, or discounted cash flows. Pricing models primarily use market-based or independently sourced market parameters as inputs, including, but

not

limited to, yield curves, interest rates, equity or debt prices and credit spreads. In addition to observable market information, models also incorporate maturity and cash flow assumptions. At

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018,

Level

2

included mortgage related securities, corporate debt, municipals and interest rate swaps.

Level

3

– when there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, financial instruments are classified as Level

3.

At

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018,

Level

3

included trust preferred securities owned and junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company.

The methods described above

may

produce fair values that

may

not

be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While the Company believes, its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies, assumptions and models to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could produce different estimates of fair value at the reporting date.

The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis and their respective category in the fair value hierarchy, at

March 31, 2019

The Company did

not

have any liabilities that were carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis at

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value at

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018

are as follows:

Securities:

The fair values of securities are contained in Note

4

of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If a quoted market price is

not

available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities and adjusted for differences between the quoted instrument and the instrument being valued. When there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are valued using discounted cash flows.

Impaired Loans:

For non-accruing loans, fair value is generally estimated by discounting management’s estimate of future cash flows with a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with such assets or, for collateral dependent loans,

85%

of the appraised or internally estimated value of the property, except for taxi medallion loans. The fair value of the underlying collateral of taxi medallion loans is the most recent reported arm’s length transaction. When there is

no

recent sale activity, the fair value is calculated using capitalization rates. See Note

5

of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (“loans”).

Junior Subordinated Debentures:

The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures was developed using a credit spread based on the subordinated debt issued by the Company adjusting for differences in the junior subordinated debt’s credit rating, liquidity and time to maturity. The unrealized net gain/loss attributable to changes in our own credit risk was determined by adjusting the fair value as determined in the proceeding sentence by the average rate of default on debt instruments with a similar debt rating as our junior subordinated debentures, with the difference from the original calculation and this calculation resulting in the instrument-specific unrealized gain/loss.

Interest Rate Swaps:

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based upon broker quotes.

The following tables set forth the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of selected financial instruments based on the assumptions described above used by the Company in estimating fair value at the periods indicated:

The Company’s derivative instruments are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements as part of Other Assets for derivatives with positive fair values and Other Liabilities for derivatives with negative fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether or

not

it qualifies and has been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and further, by the type of hedging relationship.

At

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018,

derivatives with a combined notional amount of

$36.3

million were

not

designated as hedges. At

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018,

derivatives with a combined notional amount of

$265.8

million and

$267.8

million were designated as fair value hedges. At

March 31, 2019

and

December 31, 2018,

derivatives with a combined notional amount of

$441.5

million were designated as cash flow hedges.

For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is reported in AOCL, net of tax. Amounts in AOCL are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction effects earnings. During the

three

months ended

March 31, 2019,

$0.2

million was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense.

Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps

not

designated as hedges are reflected in “Net gain/loss from fair value adjustments” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s derivative financial instruments at the periods indicated:

Regulatory Capital Requirements under Banking Regulations [Text Block]

15. Regulatory Capital

Under current capital regulations, the Bank is required to comply with

four

separate capital adequacy standards. As of

March 31, 2019,

the Bank continues to be categorized as “well-capitalized” under the prompt corrective action regulations and continues to exceed all regulatory capital requirements. The Bank is also required to comply with a Capital Conservation Buffer (“CCB”). The CCB is designed to establish a capital range above minimum capital requirements and impose constraints on dividends, share buybacks and discretionary bonus payments when capital levels fall below prescribed levels. The minimum CCB is

2.500%.

The CCB for the Bank at

March 31, 2019

was

5.49%.

Notes to Financial Statements

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]

16. New Authoritative Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in

2019:

In

February 2016,

the FASB established Topic

842,

Leases

, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)

No.

2016

-

02,

Leases

, which requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet, makes targeted changes to lessor accounting, and enhances disclosures to include key information about leasing arrangements. An entity

may

adopt the new guidance by either restating prior periods and recording a cumulative effect adjustment at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented (the modified retrospective transition approach) or by recording a cumulative adjustment at the beginning of the period of adoption (the additional transition method). The Company adopted this standard using the additional transition method approach and elected to use the effective date,

January 1, 2019,

as the date of initial application. As part of the Company’s adoption of ASC

842,

the Company undertook a detailed scoping exercise to identify all leasing arrangements subject to the new leasing guidance and believes that all arrangements that meet the definition of a lease under historic US GAAP will continue to meet the definition of a lease under ASC

842.

Upon adoption, the Company recorded right of use assets totaling

$45.4

million and operating lease liabilities totaling

$54.0

million. Additionally, a deferred gain from the sale of buildings totaling

$2.7

million, net of tax, was reclassified to retained earnings.

As the rate implicit in each of the Company’s leases is

not

readily determinable, the Company is required to apply the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to calculate the lease liability and right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for its leasing arrangements. The Company has used its unsecured Kroll rating as a starting point for calculation of the IBR and will adjust for considerations of collateral (i.e., notch the Company’s Kroll rating from an unsecured to a secured rating). The Company will also consider lease renewal options reasonably certain of exercise for purposes of determining the term of the underlying borrowing. The Company has considered various other factors, including, economic environment and determined that these factors do

not

currently impact the Company’s IBR calculation. The Company will continue to assess the appropriateness of the conclusions reached herein with respect to each of the factors discussed above and will determine the appropriate IBR for each new lease arrangement or modification, as required.

The new leasing standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company has elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits the Company

not

to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did

not

elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter

not

being applicable to the Company. ASC

842

also provides certain accounting policy elections for an entity’s ongoing accounting. For operating leases wherein the Company is the lessee, the Company has elected the practical expedient to

not

separate lease and non-lease components. See Note

8

“Leases” for additional information.

In

August 2017,

the FASB issued ASU

No.

2017

-

12,

“Derivatives and Hedging (Topic

815

)”

providing targeted improvements to the accounting for hedging activities, which is effective

January 1, 2019,

with early adoption permitted in any interim period or fiscal year before the effective date. The guidance introduces a number of amendments, several of which are optional, that are designed to simplify the application of hedge accounting, improve financial statement transparency and more closely align hedge accounting with an entity’s risk management strategies. This ASU eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and changes the presentation so that all items that affect earnings are in the same income statement line as the hedged item.

The Company adopted this standard

January 1, 2019,

as the date of initial application. As a result of adoption, fair value adjustments on qualifying fair value hedges were recorded in interest income during the

three

months ended

March 31, 2019.

These adjustments were recorded in non-interest income in prior periods. See Note

12

“Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information.

Accounting Standards Pending Adoption:

)”

providing targeted improvements to the disclosures required for Defined Benefit Plans. The amendments in in this Update are effective for fiscal years ended after

December 15, 2020.

Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented.

We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our disclosures.

In

August 2018,

the FASB issued ASU

No.

2018

-

13,

“Fair Value Measurement (Topic

820

)”. The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic

820.

The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2019.

Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented.

We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our disclosures.

In

January 2017,

the FASB issued ASU

No.

2017

-

04,

“Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic

350

): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step

2

from the goodwill impairment test. Under this ASU, the Company should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The impairment charge is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2019,

including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after

January 1, 2017.

The guidance is

not

expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial positions, results of operations or disclosures.

In

June 2016,

the FASB issued ASU

No.

2016

-

13,

“Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” which sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (“CECL”) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and will apply to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2019,

including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has been collecting and evaluating data and system requirements to implement this standard. Management has developed inter-departmental steering and working committees to evaluate and implement CECL. We have chosen a vendor solution to model CECL results and are in the middle stages of implementing this solution. The adoption of this update could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The extent of the impact is still unknown and will depend on many factors, such as the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio and expected loss history at adoption.
