STANDARD AVB FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2020

(1) Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Standard AVB Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Standard Bank, PaSB (the “Bank”), and Westmoreland Investment Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Standard AVB Financial Corp. owns all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank.

(2) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which, in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements and to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. The unaudited consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Standard AVB Financial Corp. at and for the year ended December 31, 2019 contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2020. The results for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or any future interim period. Certain amounts in the 2019 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation format. These reclassifications had no effect on stockholders’ equity or net income.

(3) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020		2019
Net income available to common stockholders	$	1,110	$	2,169

Basic EPS:
Weighted average shares outstanding		4,544,408		4,659,335
Basic EPS	$	0.24	$	0.47

Diluted EPS:
Weighted average shares outstanding		4,544,408		4,659,335
Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents		82,665		105,840
Total diluted weighted average shares outstanding		4,627,073		4,765,175
Diluted EPS	$	0.24	$	0.46

Options to purchase 234,339 and 256,030 shares of common stock were outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, with an average exercise price of $17.02 and $17.09, respectively. There were no anti-dilutive options as of March 31, 2020 or March 31, 2019.

As of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, there were 8,297 and 4,797 shares of outstanding restricted stock, respectively, that were not fully vested and included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2020

(4) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Pending Adoption

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This Update is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of the Update is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be effected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. With certain exceptions, transition to the new requirements will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments ‒ Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). This Update defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers, and all other companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, including not-for-profit entities that are adopting the amendments in this Update should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments ‒ Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), which deferred the effective date for ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715-20). This Update amends ASC 715 to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The Update eliminates the requirement to disclose the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as part of net periodic benefit cost over the next year. The Update also removes the disclosure requirements for the effects of a one-percentage-point change on the assumed health care costs and the effect of this change in rates on service cost, interest cost and the benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. This Update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, and must be applied on a retrospective basis. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2020

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which affects a variety of topics in the Codification and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses amendments are effective for SEC registrants for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other public business entities, the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and for all other entities, the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. For entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2017-12, the effective date is as of the beginning of the first annual period beginning after the issuance of this Update. Topic 825, Financial Instruments amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments ‒ Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). This Update defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers and all other companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Furthermore, the ASU provides a one-year deferral of the effective dates of the ASUs on derivatives and hedging for companies that are not public business entities. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 326, which allows entities to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost upon adoption of the new credit losses standard. To be eligible for the transition election, the existing financial asset must otherwise be both within the scope of the new credit losses standard and eligible for the applying the fair value option in ASC 825-10.3. The election must be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is not available for either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities. For entities that elect the fair value option, the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the financial assets would be recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the date an entity adopted ASU 2016-13. Changes in fair value of that financial asset would subsequently be reported in current earnings. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13, the effective dates and transition requirements are the same as those in ASU 2016-13. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2019-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted once ASU 2016-13 has been adopted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments ‒ Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). The Update defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers and all other companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

This Update also amends the mandatory effective date for the elimination of Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test under ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles ‒ Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Goodwill), to align with those used for credit losses. Furthermore, the ASU provides a one-year deferral of the effective dates of the ASUs on derivatives and hedging and leases for companies that are not public business entities. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt these ASUs with the exception of the ASU on leases which was adopted January 1, 2019.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, to clarify its new credit impairment guidance in ASC 326, based on implementation issues raised by stakeholders. This Update clarified, among other things, that expected recoveries are to be included in the allowance for credit losses for these financial assets; an accounting policy election can be made to adjust the effective interest rate for existing troubled debt restructurings based on the prepayment assumptions instead of the prepayment assumptions applicable immediately prior to the restructuring event; and extends the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest receivable from all additional relevant disclosures involving amortized cost basis. The effective dates in this Update are

the same as those applicable for ASU 2019-10. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-3, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments. This ASU was issued to improve and clarify various financial instruments topics, including the current expected credit losses (CECL) standard issued in 2016. The ASU includes seven issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments to GAAP; they are intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply and to eliminate inconsistencies, and they are narrow in scope and are not expected to significantly change practice for most entities. Among its provisions, the ASU clarifies that all entities, other than public business entities that elected the fair value option, are required to provide certain fair value disclosures under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, in both interim and annual financial statements. It also clarifies that the contractual term of a net investment in a lease under Topic 842 should be the contractual term used to measure expected credit losses under Topic 326. Amendments related to ASU 2019-04 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted before an entity’s adoption of ASU 2016-01. Amendments related to ASU 2016-13 for entities that have not yet adopted that guidance are effective upon adoption of the amendments in ASU 2016-13. Early adoption is not permitted before an entity’s adoption of ASU 2016-13. Amendments related to ASU 2016-13 for entities that have adopted that guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years. Other amendments are effective upon issuance of this ASU. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

At March 31, 2020, the Company held 72 investment securities in an unrealized loss position. The decline in the fair value of these securities resulted primarily from interest rate fluctuations. There were no potential credit concerns identified with regard to the municipal obligations as of March 31, 2020. The Company does not intend to sell these securities nor is it more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery. Additionally, the Company believes the collection of the investment principal and related interest is probable. Based on the above, the Company considers all of the unrealized losses to be temporary impairment losses.

(8) Loans Receivable and Related Allowance for Loan Losses

The following table summarizes the primary segments of the loan portfolio by the amounts collectively evaluated for impairment and the amounts individually evaluated for impairment, and the related allowance for loan losses, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Individually evaluated for impairment		—		835		—		607		—		1,442
Total loans before allowance for loan losses	$	234,421	$	323,843	$	111,499	$	47,514	$	570	$	717,847

Total loans at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were net of deferred loan fees of $259,000 and $233,000, respectively.

The segments of the Bank’s loan portfolio are disaggregated to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. The three segments are: real estate, commercial business and other. The real estate loan segment is further disaggregated into three classes. One-to-four family residential mortgages (including residential construction loans) include loans to individuals secured by residential properties having maturities up to 30 years. Commercial real estate (including commercial construction loans) consists of loans to commercial borrowers secured by commercial or residential real estate. Home equity loans and lines of credit include loans having maturities up to 20 years. The commercial business loan segment consists of loans to finance the activities of commercial business customers. The other loan segment consists primarily of consumer loans and overdraft lines of credit. The portfolio segments utilized in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses are disaggregated at the same level that management uses to monitor risk in the portfolio. Therefore the portfolio segments and classes of loans are the same.

There are various risks associated with lending to each portfolio segment. One-to-four family residential mortgage loans are typically longer-term loans which generally entail greater interest rate risk than consumer and commercial loans. Under certain economic conditions, housing values may decline, which may increase the risk that the collateral values are insufficient. Commercial real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than loans secured by residences. This greater risk is due to several factors including but not limited to concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effect of general economic conditions on income producing properties and the increased difficulty in monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of commercial real estate loans is typically dependent upon successful operation of the related real estate project. If the cash flow from the project is reduced by such occurrences as leases not being obtained, renewed or not entirely fulfilled, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. Commercial business loans are primarily secured by business assets, inventories and accounts receivable which present collateral risk. The repayment of the commercial business loan is dependent upon the ongoing cash flow of the operating entity and the ability of a guarantor to support the company. The other loan segment generally has higher interest rates and shorter terms than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, however, they can have additional credit risk due to the type of collateral securing the loan.

The Company’s primary business activity is with customers located within its local market area. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, loans outstanding to individuals and businesses are dependent upon the local economic conditions in its immediate market area. At March 31, 2020, the Company’s largest commercial loan concentrations are to the lessors of residential properties and the lessors of nonresidential properties representing 35.2% and 24.6% of the commercial loan portfolio, respectively. The construction portfolio is very well diversified with no exposure in any NAICS above $5.7 million. Additionally, the Bank had approximately $15.2 million in hotel and motel loans and $4.3 million in restaurant loans at March 31, 2020

The Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act, (the ”CARES Act”), was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and provides over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES act authorized the SBA to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). As a qualified SBA lender, the Company was automatically authorized to originate PPP loans. Through April 29, 2020, the Company has received and is processing approximately 360 PPP applications totaling approximately $40.0 million of which $39.0 million have been approved by the SBA.

An eligible business can apply for a PPP loan up to the greater of: (1) 2.5 times its average monthly “payroll costs;” or (2) $10.0 million. PPP loans have: (a) an interest rate of 1.0%, (b) a two-year loan term to maturity; and (c) principal and interest payments deferred for six months from the date of disbursement. The SBA will guarantee 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers. The entire principal amount of the borrower’s PPP loan, including any accrued interest, is eligible to be reduced by the loan forgiveness amount under the PPP so long as employee and compensation levels of the business are maintained and 75% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll expenses, with the remaining 25% of the loan proceeds used for other qualifying expenses.

Management evaluates individual loans in all of the commercial segments for possible impairment if the relationship is greater than $200,000, and the loan is in nonaccrual status, risk-rated Substandard or Doubtful, 90 days or more past due or represents a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). Loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same as the definition of “nonaccrual loans,” although the two categories overlap. The Company may choose to place a loan on nonaccrual status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectability, while not classifying the loan as impaired if the loan is not a commercial business or commercial real estate loan. Factors considered by management in evaluating impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. The Company does not separately evaluate individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment, unless such loan is part of a larger relationship that is impaired, has a classified risk rating, or is a TDR.

Once the decision has been made that a loan is impaired, the determination of whether a specific allocation of the allowance is necessary is calculated by comparing the recorded investment in the loan to the fair value of the loan using one of three methods: (a) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (b) the loan’s observable market price; or (c) the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. The appropriate method is selected on a loan-by-loan basis, with management primarily utilizing the fair value of collateral method. The evaluation of the need and amount of a specific allocation of the allowance and whether a loan can be removed from impairment status is made on a quarterly basis. The Company’s policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans does not differ from its overall policy for interest recognition.

Consistent with accounting and regulatory guidance, the Company recognizes a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and the Bank, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that would not normally be considered. Regardless of the form of concession granted, the Company's objective in offering a TDR is to increase the probability of repayment of the borrower's loan. The Company did not modify any loans as TDR’s during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, all TDR’s were performing in accordance with their modified terms and are included in the impaired loan table below.

The following table presents impaired loans by class, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and those for which a specific allowance was not necessary at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

The Company has elected to follow the loan modification guidance under Section 4013 of the CARES Act with regard to COVID-19 modifications made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of either December 31, 2020 or the 60th day after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency. Under that guidance, any short-term loan modification that is done as a result of COVID-19 for a loan that was current prior to any relief, will not be categorized as a TDR. The interagency guidance defines current as a loan that is less than 30 days past due on the contractual payments at the time of modification. The Company has developed loan payment deferral programs to provide assistance to both individuals and small business clients directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that will defer payments for up to 90 days. Through April 29, 2020, the Bank has received and is processing loan modifications for approximately 20% of the total loan portfolio.

Management uses a nine-point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first five categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently performing but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the collection of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans 90 days or more past due are considered Substandard. Any loan that has a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses and is in the process of liquidation of the collateral is placed in the Doubtful category. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as delinquency, bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolio at origination. Commercial relationships are periodically reviewed internally for credit deterioration or improvement in order to confirm that the relationship is appropriately risk rated. The Audit Committee of the Company also engages an external consultant to conduct loan reviews. The scope of the annual external engagement, which is performed through semi-annual loan reviews, includes reviewing approximately the top 50 to 60 loan relationships, all watchlist loans greater than $100,000, all commercial Reg O loans, and a random sampling of new loan originations between $200,000 and $500,000 during the year. Status reports are provided to management for loans classified as Substandard on a quarterly basis, which results in a proactive approach to resolution. Loans in the Special Mention and Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.

Management further monitors the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio by analyzing the age of the portfolio as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is past due based on the loans’ contractual due dates. Management considers nonperforming loans to be those loans that are past due 90 days or more and are still accruing as well as all nonaccrual loans. At March 31, 2020, there were 18 loans on non-accrual status that were less than 90 days past due

An allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio. The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience, and the amount of non-performing loans.

The Bank’s methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (discussed above) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance. The total of the two components represents the Bank’s ALL.

Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate. For general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio. These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualitative factors. Management tracks the historical net charge-off activity for the loan segments which may be adjusted for qualitative factors. Pass rated credits are segregated from criticized credits for the application of qualitative factors. Loans in the criticized pools, which possess certain qualities or characteristics that may lead to collection and loss issues, are closely monitored by management and subject to additional qualitative factors.

Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience. The additional factors are evaluated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources such as national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, depth and ability of management; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint.

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL. Management utilizes an internally developed methodology to

March 31, 2020

track and apply the various components of the allowance. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there was an increase in the provision for the One-to-four family Residential and Construction loan class primarily due to an increase in several qualitative factors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as an increase in the qualitative factor related to changes in loan balances; there was a decrease in the provision for the Commercial Real Estate and Construction loan class primarily due to a decrease in the qualitative factor related to changes in loan balances; the provision for Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit loan class increased primarily due increases in several qualitative factors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as charge-offs incurred during the three month period offset by a reduction in the qualitative factor related to adversely classified loans; and there was an increase in the provision for the Commercial Business loan class due to an increase in several qualitative factors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as charge-offs incurred during the period offset by a decrease in the qualitative factor related to the changes in loan balances.

The following tables summarize the activity in the primary segments of the ALL for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 as well as the allowance required for loans individually and collectively evaluated for impairment as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

The ALL is based on estimates and actual losses will vary from current estimates. Management believes that the granularity of the homogeneous pools and the related historical loss ratios and other qualitative factors, as well as the consistency in the application of assumptions, result in an ALL that is representative of the risk found in the components of the loan portfolio at any given date. In addition, federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Bank to make changes to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently

available to Management. Based on Management’s comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, they believe the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

(9) Foreclosed Assets Held For Sale

Foreclosed assets acquired in the settlement of loans are carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell and are included in foreclosed real estate on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, foreclosed real estate totaled $489,000 and $404,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, included within the foreclosed assets totaling $489,000 were three residential properties and one commercial real estate property.

The Company had initiated formal foreclosure procedures on $818,000 in one-to-four family residential loans, $64,000 in commercial real estate loans, and $75,000 in home equity loans. However, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company halted all foreclosure actions as of March 18, 2020.

(10) Stock Based Compensation

The Company currently has two stock plans that allow for the issuance of stock based compensation, the Allegheny Valley Bancorp, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and the Standard Financial Corp. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). On February 5, 2020, 3,058 shares of restricted stock were awarded to directors out of the 2011 Plan. The awards vest on December 31, 2020 and the related compensation expense is being recognized using the straight line method over the 11 month vesting period. On March 10, 2020, 3,295 shares of restricted stock were awarded to employees out of the 2011 Plan. The awards become 1/3 vested annually on the grant date for each of the next 3 years and the related compensation expense is being recognized using the straight line method over the vesting period. On February 26, 2019, 1,820 shares of restricted stock were awarded to directors out of the 2011 Plan. The awards vested quarterly through December 31, 2019 and the related compensation expense was recognized using the straight line method over the 11 month vesting period. On March 12, 2019, 2,727 shares of restricted stock were awarded to employees out of the 2011 Plan. The awards vest over 34 months and the related compensation expense is being recognized using the straight line method over the vesting period. At March 31, 2020, there were 66,235 and 101,144 shares available to be issued under the 2011 Plan and the 2012 Plan, respectively.

The following table summarizes transactions regarding restricted stock under the Plans:

(11) Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company established a tax qualified Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for the benefit of its employees in conjunction with the stock conversion on October 6, 2010. Eligible employees begin to participate in the plan after one year of service and become 20% vested in their accounts after two years of service, 40% after three years of service, 60% after four years of service, 80% after five years of service and 100% after six years of service, or earlier, upon death, disability or attainment of normal retirement age.

In connection with the stock conversion, the purchase of the 278,254 shares of the Company stock by the ESOP was funded by a loan from the Company through the Bank. Unreleased ESOP shares collateralize the loan payable, and the cost of the shares is recorded as a contra-equity account in the stockholders’ equity of the Company. Shares are released as debt payments are made by the ESOP to the loan. The ESOP’s sources of repayment of the loan can include dividends, if any, on the unallocated stock held by the ESOP and discretionary contributions from the Company to the ESOP and earnings thereon.

Compensation expense is equal to the fair value of the shares committed to be released and unallocated ESOP shares are excluded from outstanding shares for purposes of computing earnings per share. Compensation expense related to the ESOP of $100,000 and $108,000 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Dividends on unallocated shares are not treated as ordinary dividends but are instead used to repay the ESOP loan and recorded as compensation expense.

As of March 31, 2020, the ESOP held a total of 253,588 shares of the Company’s stock. Of the 253,588 shares, there were 144,548 unallocated as of March 31, 2020 with a fair market value of $3.1 million.

(12) Pension Information

The Company sponsors a pension plan which is a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan. Effective August 1, 2005, the annual benefit provided to employees under this defined benefit pension plan was frozen by the Bank. Freezing the plan eliminated all future benefit accruals; however, the accrued benefit as of August 1, 2005 remained.

(13) Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available. A contractually binding sales price also provides reliable evidence of fair value.

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement; inputs to the valuation methodology that utilize model-based techniques for which significant assumptions are not observable in the market; or inputs to the valuation methodology that requires significant management judgment or estimation, some of which may be internally developed.

Management maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value measurements. Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications of the Company’s assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Investment, Mortgage-Backed and Equity Securities

Fair values of investment and mortgage-backed securities were primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. This service provides pricing information by utilizing evaluated pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data from market research publications. Level 1 securities are comprised of equity securities. As quoted prices were available, unadjusted, for identical securities in active markets, these securities were classified as Level 1 measurements. Level 2 securities were primarily comprised of debt securities issued by government agencies, states and municipalities, corporations, as well as mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies. Fair values were estimated primarily by obtaining quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or through the use of pricing models. In cases where there may be limited or less transparent information provided by the Company’s third-party pricing service, fair value may be estimated by the use of secondary pricing services or through the use of non-binding third-party broker quotes.

March 31, 2020

On a quarterly basis, management reviews the pricing information received from the Company’s third-party pricing service. This review process includes a comparison to non-binding third-party broker quotes, as well as a review of market-related conditions impacting the information provided by the Company’s third-party pricing service. Management primarily identifies investment securities which may have traded in illiquid or inactive markets by identifying instances of a significant decrease in the volume or frequency of trades, relative to historical levels, as well as instances of a significant widening of the bid-ask spread in the brokered markets. Securities that are deemed to have been trading in illiquid or inactive markets may require the use of significant unobservable inputs. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, management did not make adjustments to prices provided by the third-party pricing service as a result of illiquid or inactive markets. On a quarterly basis, management also reviews a sample of securities priced by the Company’s third-party pricing service to review significant assumptions and valuation methodologies used. Based on this review, management determines whether the current placement of the security in the fair value hierarchy is appropriate or whether transfers may be warranted.

The following table presents the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 by level within the fair value hierarchy (dollars in thousands):

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

The following discussion and analysis provides further detail to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. This section should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company’s critical accounting policies involving the significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2020 have remained unchanged from the disclosures presented in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2020.

Standard AVB Financial Corp. is a Maryland corporation that provides a wide array of retail and commercial financial products and services to individuals, families and businesses through 17 banking offices located in the Pennsylvania counties of Allegheny, Westmoreland and Bedford and Allegany County, Maryland through its wholly-owned subsidiary Standard Bank.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019

General. The Company’s total assets as of March 31, 2020 increased $7.4 million, or 0.8%, to $991.8 million, from $984.4 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in total assets included an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $19.8 million, or 61.1%, partially offset by a decrease in investment and mortgage-backed securities of $10.3 million, or 6.4%, as well as a decrease in loans receivable of $3.0 million, or 0.4%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $19.8 million, or 61.1%, to $52.2 million at March 31, 2020 from $32.4 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily the result of the Company being proactive in positioning itself with additional liquidity in anticipation of the need to assist customers during the developing COVID-19 pandemic.

Investment Securities. Investment securities available for sale decreased $7.0 million, or 10.0%, to $62.9 million at March 31, 2020 from $69.9 million at December 31, 2019. Purchases of investment securities totaled $4.1 million which were more than offset by calls of $9.1 million due to the interest rate environment during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, there was a $2.5 million decrease in the unrealized gain on investment securities during the period. The decrease in the unrealized gain was primarily the result of fluctuations in the market values of the municipal bond portfolio due to temporary disruptions in the market. There were no potential credit concerns identified as of March 31, 2020. There were no sales of investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Equity Securities. Equity securities available for sale were $2.3 million and $3.0 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The decrease of $674,000 was a result of changes in the market prices of the equity securities related to the current economic environment. There were no purchases or sales of equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Company’s mortgage-backed securities available for sale decreased $3.3 million, or 3.6%, to $88.2 million at March 31, 2020 from $91.5 million at December 31, 2019. Purchases of mortgage-backed securities totaling $1.5 million and a $2.0 million increase in the unrealized gain on mortgage-backed securities were more than offset by repayments of $6.6 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2020. There were no sales of mortgage-backed securities during the three month period ended March 31, 2020.

Loans. At March 31, 2020, net loans were $710.0 million, or 71.6% of total assets, compared to $713.0 million, or 72.4% of total assets at December 31, 2019. The $3.0 million, or 0.4%, decrease in loans receivable was the result of loan payoffs and amortization exceeding loan production during the period. One-to-four family residential and construction, home equity loans and lines of credit, and other loans decreased $5.6 million or 2.4%, $4.8 million or 4.3%, and $58,000 or 10.2%, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in commercial real estate and construction loans and commercial business loans of $6.4 million or 2.0%, and $1.6 million or 3.4%, respectively.

Deposits. The Company accepts deposits primarily from the areas in which the Bank’s offices are located. The Company has consistently focused on building broader customer relationships and targeting small business customers to increase core deposits. The Company also relies on customer service to attract and retain deposits. The Company offers a variety

Table of Contents

of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. Deposit accounts consist of savings accounts, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, commercial and consumer checking accounts and individual retirement accounts. Interest rates, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market interest rates, liquidity requirements and deposit growth goals.

Deposits decreased $4.9 million, or 0.7%, to $729.5 million at March 31, 2020 from $734.4 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease resulted from decreases in time deposit, money market and interest-bearing checking accounts of $9.4 million or 3.8%, $1.1 million or 1.0%, and $619,000, or 0.6%, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by increases in non-interest-bearing checking accounts and savings accounts of $4.3 million or 3.4%, and $1.9 million or 1.3%, respectively.

Borrowings. Borrowed funds, which includes short and long-term borrowings and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, increased by $13.7 million, or 13.3%, to $116.6 million at March 31, 2020 from $102.8 million at December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $13.5 million, or 14.0% increase in long-terms borrowings resulting from new FHLB advances entered into during the period totaling $25.0 million partially offset by the maturity of a $5.8 million advance and an additional $5.7 million in principal repayments. Financing lease liabilities, which are also included in long-term borrowings, were $3.1 million at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased by $270,000, or 7.2%, to $4.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $3.7 million at December 31, 2019. There were no short-term borrowings at either March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity decreased $1.1 million, or 0.8%, to $140.7 million at March 31, 2020 from $141.8 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease was a result of $1.0 million in dividends paid during the period and a $373,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income related to changes in the fair value of available for sale debt securities during the period. Additionally, in accordance with the Company’s stock repurchase program, 43,700 shares of the Company’s outstanding stock were repurchased for $1.0 million. Those decreases were partially offset by net income of $1.1 million earned during the three months ended March 31, 2020. On March 19, 2020, the Company temporarily suspended its stock repurchase plan.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

General. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $1.1 million compared to $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 48.8%. Earnings per share for the current period was $0.24 for basic and $0.24 for fully diluted compared to $0.47 for basic and $0.46 for fully diluted for the same period in 2019.

The Company’s annualized return on average assets (ROA) and annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 were 0.46% and 3.14%, respectively, compared to 0.91% and 6.35%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was $6.8 million, a decrease of 4.5%, compared to $7.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets as well as a decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding. The net interest rate spread and net interest margin were 2.70% and 3.02%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 2.88% and 3.21%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income decreased $276,000, or 3.0%, to $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of an 18 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 3.96% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 4.14% for the same period in the prior year.

Interest income on loans decreased $203,000, or 2.5%, to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the average balance of loans receivable of $18.8 million, or 2.6%, to $712.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior period. Additionally, there was a three basis point decrease in the average yield on loans receivable to 4.36% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 4.39% for the same period in the prior year.

Interest income on investment and mortgage-backed securities decreased $50,000, or 4.8%, to $992,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of a 27 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on investment and mortgage-backed securities to 2.49% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 from 2.76% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the average yield was due to falling interest rates during the period. The decrease in interest income resulting from the decrease in the average yield was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of investment and mortgage-backed securities of $8.3 million, or 5.5%, to $159.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year.

Dividend income on FHLB and other restricted stock decreased $31,000, or 17.8%, to $143,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $174,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease primarily resulted from a decrease in the average yield to 7.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 9.02% for the same period in the prior year. The higher yield in the 2019 quarter resulted from a higher dividend received for the fourth quarter 2018 than was accrued as a result of the FHLB increasing the dividend yield on both activity and membership stock. There was also a decrease in the average balance of FHLB stock and other restricted stock of $270,000, or 3.4%, to $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior period.

Interest income on interest-earning deposits increased $8,000, or 10.0%, to $88,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $80,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in the average balance of interest-earning deposits of $15.6 million, or 127.3%, to $27.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior period. The increase in interest income resulting from the increase in the average balance was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning deposits to 1.28% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 2.67% for the same period in the prior year as a result of falling short-term interest rates during the period.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense was $2.2 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the three months ended March 31, 2019. The average cost and average balance of interest-bearing deposits were both higher for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, however, this increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of borrowings for the same period.

Interest expense on deposits increased $79,000, or 5.0%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily the result of a 2 basis points increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 1.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 1.10% for the same period in the prior year due to higher interest rates for much of the quarter. Additionally, there was an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $12.4 million, or 2.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased $33,000, or 5.9%, to $531,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $564,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the average balance of borrowings of $6.0 million, or 5.7%, to $99.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses increased $442,000, or 409.3%, to $550,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $108,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The provision for the quarter was impacted by a number of things including increases in several qualitative factors, some of which were directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in the loan balances included in the allowance calculation and increased reserves required on a few loans which experienced a deterioration in quality from the previous quarter. In management’s

Table of Contents

judgment, the allowance for loan losses is at a sufficient level that reflects the losses inherent in the loan portfolio relative to loan mix, economic conditions and historical loss experience. See Footnote 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for additional information.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $603,000, or 53.0%, to $535,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily the result of a $701,000 change in net equity securities fair value adjustments from a gain of $27,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to a loss of $674,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to fluctuations in the market prices of the equity securities. The decrease in noninterest income resulting from the change in net equity securities fair value adjustments was partially offset by increases in loan sale gains and referral fees, service charges and investment management fees of $65,000 or 191.2%, $43,000 or 6.2%, and $18,000 or 8.9%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior period. The increase in loan sale gains and referral fees was reflective of the Bank’s business strategy to continue to expand its product mix and capacity to sell residential loans in the secondary mortgage market.

Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expenses totaled $5.5 million for both the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and the quarter ended March 31, 2019. While total noninterest expenses remained relatively stable for both periods presented, federal deposit insurance, premises and occupancy expenses, and core deposit amortization for the three month ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $112,000 or 164.7%, $63,000 or 9.4%, and $48,000 or 24.9%, respectively, compared to the prior period. Those decreases were offset by increases in compensation and benefits of $144,000, or 4.5%, as well as increases in other operating expenses of $102,000, or 10.2%, respectively, compared to the prior period. The lower federal deposit insurance was due to the application of small bank credits to both the fourth quarter 2019 and the first quarter 2020 assessments.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded a provision for income tax of $194,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $543,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in income tax was primarily the result of a decrease in taxable income as well as a lower effective tax rate for the period. The effective tax rate was 14.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 20.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations. The Company’s primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and sales, advances and short-term borrowings from the FHLB, repurchase agreements and maturities, principal repayments and sales of available-for-sale securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company’s Asset/Liability Management Committee, under the direction of the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and monitoring liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the funding needs of the Company including borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of the Bank’s customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. At March 31, 2020, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $52.2 million. Management believes there are sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy short- and long-term liquidity needs as of March 31, 2020.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2020 totaled $113.3 million, or 15.5% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with the Bank, it may be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan and securities sales, repurchase agreements and FHLB advances and short-term borrowings. The Company believes, however, based on historical experience and current market interest rates, it will retain upon maturity a large portion of certificates of deposit with maturities of one year or less. The Company’s maximum borrowing capacity at the FHLB at March 31, 2020 was $413.1 million.

The Company is committed to serving both its individual and commercial customers through these difficult and unprecedented times. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has increased the monitoring of its current liquidity and anticipated funding needs. Additionally, the Company has been proactive in positioning itself with additional liquidity in anticipation of the need to assist customers. Finally, the Company has successfully tested all of its contingency funding sources.

Stockholders’ equity decreased $1.1 million, or 0.8%, to $140.7 million at March 31, 2020 from $141.8 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease was a result of $1.0 million in dividends paid during the period and a $373,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income related to changes in the fair value of available for sale debt securities during the period. Additionally, in accordance with the Company’s stock repurchase program, 43,700 shares of the Company’s outstanding stock were repurchased for $1.0 million. Those decreases were partially offset by net income of $1.1 million earned during the three months ended March 31, 2020. On March 19, 2020, the Company temporarily suspended its stock repurchase plan.

Current regulatory requirements specify that the Bank and similar institutions must maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet tier 1 leverage, common equity tier 1 risk-based, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 4.00%, 4.50%, 6.00% and 8.00%, respectively. At March 31, 2020, the Bank was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements with ratios of 11.80%, 17.14%, 17.14% and 17.97%, respectively, and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

As a result of the recently enacted Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, the federal banking agencies have adopted a rule to establish for institutions with assets of less than $10 billion that meet other specified criteria a “community bank leverage ratio” (the ratio of a bank’s tangible equity capital to average total consolidated assets) that such institutions may elect to utilize in lieu of the generally applicable leverage and risk-based capital requirements noted above. The federal banking agencies adopted 9% as the applicable ratio, however, in response to COVID-19, they reduced the ratio to 8% effective March 31, 2020. Institutions with capital meeting the specified requirements and electing to follow the alternative framework will be considered compliant with all applicable regulatory capital and leverage requirements, including the requirement to be “well capitalized.” The Bank did not utilize the community bank leverage ratio framework in its March 31, 2020 Call Report and maintains the right to opt-in or opt-out of the framework in any subsequent quarter.

As a financial services provider, the Company routinely is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans the

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2020, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer, the President and the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).

2020. Except as presented below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The recent global coronavirus outbreak could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic is having an adverse impact on the Company, its customers and the communities it serves. Given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be reopened. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: the demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; collateral for loans, including real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and investment securities, may decline in value or dissipate, which could cause loan charge offs to increase; our allowance for loan losses may increase if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income; the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; expenses may increase as a result of an escalation in the number of troubled credits; as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income; and our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely.
