Note 2. Benefit Plans and Stock-Based Compensation

2006 Stock Option Plan

During 2006, the Bank’s stockholders approved the 2006 Stock Option Plan. At the time of the holding company reorganization, the 2006 Stock Option Plan was assumed by the Company. The plan allows the Company to grant options to directors and employees of the Company to purchase up to 239,984 shares of the Company’s common stock. At March 31, 2017, stock options to purchase 216,210 shares, net of forfeitures, have been issued to directors and employees of the Company under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, of which options to purchase 70,510 shares were outstanding.

During 2016, the Company granted 63,960 Non-Qualified Stock Options (NQO) to employees of the Company. The fair value of the 63,960 NQOs granted was $2.76 per NQO on the date of grant. The fair value of the NQOs was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of the NQOs granted: expected dividend yield of 2.149%, risk free interest rate of 1.57%, expected volatility of 26.54% and expected lives of 10 years. One third of the NQO granted, or 21,320 NQOs vest each on February 1, 2017, February 1, 2018 and February 1, 2019.

Under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, there were 37,140 unvested options at March 31, 2017 and $106 thousand in unrecognized compensation expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, $20 thousand was recorded as expense for NQOs that have been issued through the 2006 Stock Option Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 options to purchase 15,000 and 200 shares of common stock at a price of $11.50 and $11.17 per share respectively, were exercised for a total price of $176 thousand and 750 options were forfeited.

The aggregate intrinsic value of a stock option represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their options on that date. This amount changes based on the changes in the market value in the Company’s stock.The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of March 31, 2017 under the 2006 Stock Option Plan was approximately $283 thousand.

2007 Director Plan

During 2007, the Bank’s stockholders approved the 2007 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Directors (the “2007 Director Plan”). At the time of the holding company reorganization, the 2007 Director Plan was assumed by the Company. This plan provides for 480,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued to non-employee directors of the Company. At March 31, 2017, stock options to purchase 385,332 shares, net of forfeitures, have been issued to non-employee directors of the Company under the 2007 Director Plan. No options were granted or exercised through the 2007 Director Plan during the first three months of 2017

Under the 2007 Director Plan, there were no unvested options at March 31, 2017 and no unrecognized compensation expense.

In connection with the 2007 Director Plan, no share based compensation expense was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

2011 Equity Incentive Plan

During 2011, the shareholders of the Company approved the Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). This plan authorizes the issuance of up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances described in the 2011 Plan, pursuant to awards of incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or performance awards. Employees, directors, consultants, and other service providers of the Company and its affiliates (primarily the Bank) are eligible to receive awards under the 2011 Plan, provided, that only employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options. At March 31, 2017, there were 135,468 shares, net of forfeitures, issued to employees and directors of the Company under the 2011 Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, 30,000 shares of restricted common stock were issued under the 2011 Plan. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, $45 thousand and $54 thousand, respectively, was recorded as expense for restricted stock that has been issued through the 2011 Plan.

During 2016, the Company granted 30,000 Non-Qualified Stock Options (NQO) to an executive of the Company. The fair value of the 30,000 NQOs granted was $2.92 per NQO on the date of grant. The fair value of the NQOs was determinded using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of the NQOs granted: expected dividend yield of 2.137%, risk free interest rate of 1.87%, expected volatility of 27.0% and expected lives of 10 years. One third of the NQO granted, or 10,000 NQOs vested immedialty, with the remaining 20,000 NQOs vesting over a two year period. No NQOs were exercised or forfeited during the first three months of 2017 under the 2011 Plan.

Under the 2011 Plan, there were 20,000 unvested options at March 31, 2017 and $32 thousand in unrecognized compensation expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, $7 thousand was recorded as expense for NQOs that have been issued through the 2011 Plan.

The aggregate intrinsic value of a stock option represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their options on that date. This amount changes based on the changes in the market value in the Company’s stock. The aggregate intrinsic value of NQOs outstanding as of March 31, 2017 under the 2011 Plan was approximately $121 thousand.

Note 3. Earnings Per Share.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for a period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that period.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for a period by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during that period. Outstanding “common share equivalents” include options and warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock.

The following table shows earnings per share for the three month periods presented:

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. In determining OTTI management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost; (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer; (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary-impairment decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on information available to management at a point in time. An OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.

When OTTI for debt securities occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If an entity intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI would be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI would be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors would be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable tax benefit. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings would become the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

At March 31, 2017, the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio consisted of fifteen securities, of which four were in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months, nine were in a loss position for less than twelve months and two had unrealized gains. No OTTI charges were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities. Unrealized losses primarily relate to interest rate fluctuations and not credit concerns.

Securities with an amortized cost of $35.3 million and a fair value of $35.2 million, were pledged to secure public funds on deposit at March 31, 2017. Securities with an amortized cost of $11.2 milion and a fair value of $11.1 million were pledged to secure borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) as of March 31, 2017. Securities with an amortized cost of $37.4 million and a fair value of $37.2 million, were pledged to secure public funds on deposit at December 31, 2016. In addition, securities with an amortized cost of $11.2 million and a fair value of $11.1 million were pledged to secure borrowings with FHLBNY as of December 31, 2016.

The Company grants loans primarily to those residents and businesses within its New Jersey local trading area. Its borrowers’ abilities to repay their obligations are dependent upon various factors, including the borrowers’ income and net worth, cash flows generated by the underlying collateral, value of the underlying collateral and priority of the Company’s lien on the property. Such factors are dependent upon various economic conditions and individual circumstances beyond the Company’s control; the Company is therefore subject to risk of loss. The Company believes its lending policies and procedures adequately manage the potential exposure to such risks and an allowance for loan losses is provided for management’s best estimate of probable loan losses.

Troubled debt restructured loans (“TDRs”) are loans where the contractual terms of the loan have been modified for a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications could include a reduction in the interest rate of the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal or a combination of these concessions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had no loans meeting the definition of a TDR that were placed on default status.

The Company may obtain physical possession of real estate collateralizing loans via foreclosure or an in-substance repossession into other real estate owned. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had no foreclosed residential real estate properties. In addition, as of March 31, 2017, we had loans with a carrying value of $4.4 million collateralized by real estate property for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process.

Note 6. Guarantees

The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than the Company’s standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had $3.6 million of letters of credit outstanding. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payment required under the corresponding guarantees. Management believes that the current amount of the liability as of March 31, 2017 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

There were no outstanding borrowings on any of the lines of credit at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Note 8. Capital Resources

A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital base.

The banking regulators have established guidelines for leverage capital requirements, expressed in terms of Tier 1 or core capital as a percentage of average assets, to measure the soundness of a financial institution. In addition, banking regulators have established risk-based capital guidelines for U.S. banking organizations.

Under the final capital rules that became effective on January 1, 2015, there is a requirement for a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets which is in addition to the other minimum risk-based capital standards in the rule. The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and is being phased in over a four-year period, increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019.

The aforementioned capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to Risk Weighted Assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

The following table summarizes the Bank’s risk-based capital and leverage ratios at March 31, 2017, the applicable minimum ratios, the applicable minimum required based on the phase-in provisions and the minimum required to be considered well capitalized:

Under a policy of the Federal Reserve applicable to holding companies with less than $1 billion in assets, the Company is not subject to capital requirements on a consolidated basis.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

U. S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 Inputs - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (that is, supported with little or no market activity).

The level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of that asset or liability.

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):


			(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value (in thousands):


	Fair Value		Valuation	Unobservable	Range
March 31, 2017	Estimate		Techniques	Input	(Weighted Average)
Other real estate owned	$	456	Appraisal of Collateral (1)	Appraisal Adjustments (2)	11.5%

Other real estate owned	$	614	Appraisal of Collateral (1)	Appraisal Adjustments (2)	11.5% - 48.40% (21.8)%
				Liquidation Expenses (2)	8.9% - 10.3% (9.3)%

(1)

Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable.

(2)

Appraisals may be adjusted for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

Other real estate owned assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned. The fair value of other real estate owned is based upon independent third party appraisal values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values.

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in sales transactions on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period end and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period end.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Interest Bearing Time Deposits

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.

Securities

The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquiditiy and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) were used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments.

Table of Contents

Restricted Investment in Bank Stock

The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.

Loans Receivable

The fair value of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the date of statement of financial condition that reflect the credit and the interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values approximate carrying values.

Impaired loans

Impaired loans are those for which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. Fair value is generally based upon independent third-party appraisals of the collateral. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates fair value.

Other Real Estate Owned

Deposits

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time deposits.

Borrowed Funds

The fair value of borrowed funds is estimated using quoted market prices, if available, or by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates for similar financial instruments.

Limitation

The preceding fair value estimates were made at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 based on pertinent market data and relevant information on the financial instrument. These estimates do not include any premium or discount that could result from an offer to sell at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument or category thereof. Since no market exists for a substantial portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates were necessarily based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk assessment of various financial instruments, and other factors. Given the innately subjective nature of these estimates, the uncertainties surrounding them and the matter of significant judgment that must be applied, these fair value estimates cannot be calculated with precision. Modifications in such assumptions could meaningfully alter these estimates.

Since these fair value approximations were made solely for on and off balance sheet financial instruments at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no attempt was made to estimate the value of anticipated future business. Furthermore,

certain tax implications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a substantial impact on these fair value estimates and have not been incorporated into the estimates.

Note 10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

There were no reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Note 11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

This note provides a summary description of recent accounting standards that have significant implications (elected or required) within the consolidated financial statements, or that management expects may have a significant impact on consolidated financial statements issued in the near future.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU establish a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this objective, the standard requires five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Public entities will apply the new standard for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Three basic transition methods are available – full retrospective, retrospective with certain practical expedients, and a cumulative effect approach. Under the third alternative, an entity would apply the new revenue standard only to contracts that are incomplete under legacy U.S. GAAP at the date of initial application (e.g. January 1, 2018) and recognize the cumulative effect of the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. That is, prior years would not be restated and additional disclosures would be required to enable users of the financial statements to understand the impact of adopting the new standard in the current year compared to prior years that are presented under legacy U.S. GAAP. Early adoption is prohibited under U.S. GAAP. The same three transition alternatives apply. The implementation of ASU 2014-09 should not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. However, we do believe the new standard will result in new disclosure requirements. We are currently in the process of reviewing contracts to assess the impact of the new guidance on our service offerings that are in the scope of the guidance, included in non-interest income such as, service charges and payments processing fees. The Company is continuing to evaluate the effect of the new guidance on revenue sources other than financial instruments on our financial position and consolidated results of operations.

ASU 2016-1, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.

In January 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-1, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale. ASU

Table of Contents

2016-01 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ASU 2016-02, Leases.

In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 amends existing lease accounting guidance to include the requirement to recognize most lease arrangements on the balance sheet. The adoption of this standard will require the Company to recognize the rights and obligations arising from operating leases as assets and liabilities. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is presently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this accounting pronouncement to its financial position or results of operations.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to report “expected” credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit rather than the current “incurred loss” model. These expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date are to be based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU will also require enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filers, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

Statements Regarding Forward Looking Information

This document contains forward-looking statements, in addition to historical information. Forward looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” and variations of such words and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” or similar expressions. The U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provide a safe harbor in regard to the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this document and documents incorporated by reference.

You should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this document could affect the future financial results of Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. and its subsidiaries and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained in this document. These factors include, but are not limited to, the items set forth under Item 1A – Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the following:

Economic conditions affecting the financial industry;

Changes in interest rates and shape of the yield curve;

Credit risk associated with our lending activities;

Risks relating to our market area, significant real estate collateral and the real estate market;

Legislative and regulatory changes and our ability to comply with the significant laws and regulations impacting the banking and financial services industry;

Operating, legal and regulatory compliance risk;

Regulatory capital requirements and our ability to raise and maintain capital;

Our ability to prevent, detect and respond to any cyberattacks in order to protect our information assets and supporting infrastructure including information of our customers;

Our ability to attract and retain well-qualified management;

Economic, political and competitive forces affecting our business;

Risks associated with potential business combinations; and

That management’s analysis of these risks and factors could be incorrect, and/or that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful.

Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc., referred to as “we” or the “Company,” cautions that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, all of which change over time, and we assume no duty to update forward-looking statements, except as may be required by applicable law or regulation, and except as required by applicable law or regulation, we do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date made, and we advise readers that various factors, including those described above, could affect our financial performance and could cause actual results or circumstances for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared based on the application of certain accounting policies, the most significant of which are described in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report. Certain of these policies require numerous estimates and strategic or

Table of Contents

economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or subject to variation and may significantly affect our reported results and financial position for the period or future periods. Financial assets and liabilities required to be recorded at, or adjusted to reflect, fair value require the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Assets carried at fair value inherently result in more financial statement volatility. Fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based on either quoted market prices or are provided by other independent third-party sources, when available. When such information is not available, management estimates valuation adjustments. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, or estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) represents our best estimate of losses known and inherent in our loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate. In determining the amount of the ALLL, we consider the losses inherent in our loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of our loan activities, along with general economic and real estate market conditions. We utilize a segmented approach which identifies: (1) impaired loans for which specific reserves are established; (2) classified loans for which the general valuation allowance for the respective loan type is deemed to be inadequate; and (3) performing loans for which a general valuation allowance is established. We maintain a loan review system which provides for a systematic review of the loan portfolio and the identification of impaired loans. The review of residential real estate and home equity consumer loans, as well as other more complex loans, is triggered by identified evaluation factors, including delinquency status, size of loan, type of collateral and the financial condition of the borrower. Specific reserves are established for impaired loans based on a review of such information and/or appraisals of the underlying collateral. General reserves are based upon a combination of factors including, but not limited to, actual loan loss experience, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and management’s judgment.

Although specific and general reserves are established in accordance with management’s best estimates, actual losses are dependent upon future events, and as such, further provisions for loan losses may be necessary in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level. For example, our evaluation of the allowance includes consideration of current economic conditions, and a change in economic conditions could reduce the ability of borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans. This could result in increased delinquencies and increased non-performing loans, and thus a need to make additional provisions for loan losses. Any provision reduces our net income. While the allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, it is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. A change in economic conditions could adversely affect the value of properties collateralizing real estate loans, resulting in increased charges against the allowance and reduced recoveries, and require additional provisions for loan losses. Furthermore, growth or a change in the composition of our loan portfolio could require additional provisions for loan losses.

Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the period in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be settled or realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs. Deferred tax assets are reduced, through a valuation allowance, if necessary, by the amount of such benefits that are not expected to be realized based on current available evidence.

The Company uses currently enacted tax rates to value deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Trump Administration and the U.S. Congress are in the process of evaluating possible tax changes which may include a reduction in U.S. corporate income tax rates. If corporate tax rates were reduced, Management expects the Company would record an initial charge against earnings to lower the carrying amount of the net deferred tax asset, and then would record a lower tax provision going forward on an ongoing basis.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets consist principally of loans and investment securities, while interest-bearing liabilities consist primarily of deposits. Net income is also affected by the provision for loan losses and the level of non-interest income, as well as by non-interest expenses, including salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, and other expenses, and income tax expense.

Net Income

Net income for the first quarter of 2017 was $1.1 million compared to $1.3 million for first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $230 thousand, or 17.8%. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in non-interest expense of $510 thousand or 12.8% and a decline of $184 thousand in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in provision for loan loss of $300 thousand.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them. For the three month period ended March 31, 2017, net interest income decreased by $184 thousand or 3.0%. Interest income on loans decreased by $367 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period last year. This decrease in interest income was primarily due to loan prepayment fees of $163 thousand realized in the first quarter of 2016. Yield on total loans decreased to 4.47% during the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 4.80% in the three months ended March 31, 2016. Total interest expense declined by $103 thousand in the first quarter of 2017 to $1.7 million compared to $1.8 million in the prior year period. The decline reflects a decrease in interest expense on certificate of deposits of $176 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, partially offset by an increase of $87 thousand in savings and money market deposits, and was due in most part to maturing of higher yielding certificates of deposits being replaced by lower yielding savings, money market and demand deposits. During the first quarter of 2017 average time deposits declined to $310.7 million from $342.9 million in the comparable quarter of 2016. Average non-interest bearing deposits increased to $137.5 million in the current quarter from $115.8 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents our determination of the amount necessary to bring our allowance for loan losses to the level that we consider adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. See “Allowance for Loan Losses” for additional information about our allowance for loan losses and our methodology for determining the amount of the allowance. We recognized no provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to a $300 thousand provision for the three month ended March 31, 2016.

Non-interest Income

Our non-interest income is comprised primarily of service fees received from deposit accounts and gains (losses) on the sales of securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, non-interest income increased by $34 thousand compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $4.5 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of approximately $500 thousand. This increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $300 thousand and professional fees of $236 thousand. These increases were related to the Company’s efforts to enhance its risk management structure, including consultant costs, legal expense, retaining experienced staff and the cost of loan system upgrades.

Income Tax Expense

The income tax provision decreased $131 thousand to $597 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $727 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The effective tax rate for the three month ended March 31, 2017 was 35.99% compared to 36.04% for the corresponding period in 2016.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total consolidated assets increased by $37.2 million, or approximately 4.53%, from $822.4 million at December 31, 2016 to $859.6 million at March 31, 2017. Loans receivable, or “total loans,” increased from $660.6 million at December 31, 2016 to $685.0 million at March 31, 2017, an increase of approximately $24.4 million, or 3.69%. Total cash and cash equivalents increased from $77.0 million at December 31, 2016 to $92.2 million at March 31, 2017, an increase of $15.2 million. The change in cash is in part due to the fluctuation in municipal deposit account balances. Total deposits grew by $37.3 million to $755.3 million at March 31, 2017, from $718.0 million at December 31, 2016 . Borrowed funds decreased to $23.4 million at March 31, 2017 from $25.0 million at December 31, 2016.

Loans

Our loan portfolio is the primary component of our assets. Net loans, which exclude net deferred fees and costs and the allowance for loan losses, increased by 3.73% to reach $676 million at March 31, 2017 from $651.7 million at December 31 2016. Historically, we offered residential mortgage loans. However in light of the increasing regulatory and compliance burdens associated with these loans, they have become a less significant part of our business strategy. As a result, we expect our portfolio of residential mortgage loans to continue to decrease in future periods. Our market area is concentrated in Bergen County, New Jersey, with commercial loans made to borrowers located primarily in New Jersey and New York. We believe that we will continue to have opportunities for commercial loan growth due in part, to our experienced staff and relationship focused strategy, and this commercial loan growth should help mitigate the run-off in the residential portfolio.

Our loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate, commercial & industrial, residential, consumer and home equity loans. Commercial & industrial loans are made for the purpose of providing working capital primarily for construction, financing the purchase of an income producing property, purchase of equipment or inventory, as well as for other business purposes. Real estate loans consist of loans secured by commercial or residential real property and loans for the construction of commercial or residential investment property. We have a concentration of commercial loans collateralized by real estate.

We have not made any sub-prime loans. We believe that our strategy of customer service, competitive rate structures, and selective marketing have enabled us to effectively compete as a relationship driven community bank.

For more information on the loan portfolio, see Note 5 in Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Loan Quality

As mentioned above, our principal assets are our loans. Inherent in the lending function is the risk of the borrower’s inability to repay a loan under its existing terms. Risk elements include past due and restructured loans, potential problem loans and loan concentrations.

Impaired loans are identified by evaluating factors, including delinquency status, size of loan, type of collateral and the financial condition of the borrower. Non-performing assets include loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more, troubled debt restructured loans and foreclosed assets. When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals discontinue and all past due interest, including interest applicable to prior years, is reversed and charged against current income. Payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors warrant returning the loan to accruing status.

We attempt to manage overall credit risk through loan diversification and our loan underwriting and approval procedures. Due diligence begins at the time we begin to discuss the origination of a loan with a borrower. Documentation, including a borrower’s credit history, materials establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of the loan, the source and timing of the repayment of the loan, and other factors are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval. Loans made are also subject to periodic audit and review.

As of March 31, 2017 the Bank had thirty non-accrual loans totaling approximately $19.3 million, compared to non-accrual loans totaling $18.8 million at year end 2016. The increase in non-accrual loans reflects the impact of a credit with an outstanding balance of $955 thousand being placed on non-accrual during the first quarter. If the nonaccrual loans had been current in accordance with their original terms and had been outstanding throughout the three months ended March 31, 2017, the gross interest income that would have been recorded in such period would have been approximately $181 thousand.

Within its nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2017, the Bank had five residential mortgage loans, eight home equity loans and one commercial real estate loan that met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loan.

TDRs are loans where the contractual terms have been modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications could include a reduction in the interest rate of the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, or a combination of these concessions. At March 31, 2017, nonaccrual TDR loans had an outstanding balance of $10.2 million and had no specific reserves connected with them. At March 31, 2017, the Bank had accruing loans which met the definition of a TDR totaling $622 thousand.

Investment Securities

Securities held as available for sale (“AFS”) were $57.7 million at March 31, 2017 compared to $61.6 million at December 31, 2016.

Deposits

Deposits remain our primary source of funds. Total deposits increased to $755.3 million at March 31, 2017 from $718 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of $37.3 million, or 5.2%. Time deposits increased by $46.6 million while savings and other interest bearing and noninterest bearing accounts decreased by $6.7 and $2.6 million, respectively, during the first three months of 2017. The Company has no foreign deposits, nor are there any material customer concentrations of deposits.

Borrowed Funds

Borrowings consist of long-term and short-term advances from the FHLBNY. These advances are secured under terms of a blanket collateral agreement by a pledge of qualifying securities and mortgage loans. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Bank had outstanding borrowings of $23.4 million and $25.0 million, respectively, with the FHLBNY.

Liquidity

Our liquidity is a measure of our ability to fund loans, withdrawals or maturities of deposits, and other cash outflows in a cost-effective manner. Our principal sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal, maturities of investment securities, and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flow and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by prevailing interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. In addition, if warranted, we would be able to access funds through established lines of credit and borrowings.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had a $5 million line of credit with the Atlantic Community Bankers Bank. In addition, the Bank had a $16 million overnight line of credit with Zions First National Bank, a $12 million overnight line of credit with First Tennessee Bank and a $10 million overnight line of credit with Atlantic Community Bankers Bank for the purchase of federal funds in the event that temporary liquidity needs arise. There were no amounts outstanding under any of the facilities at March 31, 2017. We are an approved member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”). The FHLBNY relationship could provide additional sources of liquidity, if required. At March 31, 2017, the Bank had $23.4 million of borrowed funds from the FHLBNY.

Our total deposits equaled $755.3 million and $718.0 million, respectively, at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Cash and cash equivalents increased from $77.0 million on December 31, 2016 to $92.2 million on March 31, 2017.

Through the investment portfolio, we have generally sought to obtain a safe, yet slightly higher yield than would have been available to us as a net seller of overnight federal funds, while maintaining liquidity. Through our investment portfolio, we also attempt to manage our maturity gap, by seeking maturities of investments which coincide with maturities of deposits. The investment portfolio also includes securities available for sale to provide liquidity for anticipated loan demand and other liquidity needs. (See Investment Securities)

We believe that our current sources of funds provide adequate liquidity for our current cash flow needs.
