NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of Presentation: BankFinancial Corporation, a Maryland corporation headquartered in Burr Ridge, Illinois, (the “Company”), is the owner of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of BankFinancial, National AssociationNA (the “Bank”). The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of and transactions of BankFinancial Corporation, the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Financial Assurance Services, Inc. and BFBFIN Asset Recovery CorporationCompany, LLC (collectively, “the Company”), and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. Such adjustments are the only adjustments reflected in the accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three-three and nine-monthnine month periods ended September 30, 20172020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

2020 or for any other period.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Commission (“SEC”).

Use of Estimates: To prepareThe preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management makesto make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptionsthat affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on the disclosures provided, and futurebest available information, actual information, actual results could differ.

differ from those estimates.

COVID-19: The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and around the world. The declaration of a global pandemic indicates that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted, and could further adversely impact, a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. On March 3, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee reduced the target federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.00% to 1.25%. This rate was further reduced to a target range of 0% to 0.25% on March 16, 2020. These reductions in interest rates and other effects of the COVID-19 outbreak may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. As a result of the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, economic uncertainties have arisen which are likely to negatively impact net interest income and noninterest income. Other financial impacts could occur though such potential impact is unknown at this time.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period’s financial statements to conform them to the current period’s presentation.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recent

Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements

Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update (ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers) creating FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides steps to follow to achieve the core principle. An entity should disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendments in this update become effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We have evaluated the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. Our finding is that the new pronouncement will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements as the majority of our business transactions will not be subject to this pronouncement.

In JanuaryJune 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities). The new guidance is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments by requiring: equity investments (other than equity method or consolidation) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets (i.e. securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for organizations that are not public business entities; eliminating the requirement for non-public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is to be required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in fair value of a liability resulting from the change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The new guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We have evaluated the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. Our finding is that the new pronouncement will not have a significant impact on our Statement of Operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The standard requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective

NOTE 1 2016- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. Our preliminary finding is that the new pronouncement will not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements as the projected minimum lease payments under existing leases subject to the new pronouncement are less than one percent of our current total assets.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). The standard is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. ASU 2016-09 was effective January 1, 2017. This new pronouncement affects the effective tax rate reported as existing vested stock options are exercised. The amount of the impact on the effective tax rate is determined by the number of stock options exercised and the stock price of the Company when the stock options are exercised. Excess tax benefits and deficiencies are recorded in the tax expense.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”2016-13”). These amendments require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. For SEC filers who are smaller reporting companies, such as the Company, ASU 2016-132016-13 is effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e., January 1, 2020, for calendar year entities). Early application will be permitted for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. Our initial review indicates that we have maintained sufficient historical loan data to support the requirements of this pronouncement. In addition, we have begun tracking the average life of the various segments of our loan portfolio. We are currently evaluating various loss methodologies to determine their correlation to our various loan categories' historical performance.2022.

In March of 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, “Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (“ASU 2017-08”). This guidance shortens the amortization period for premiums on certain callable debt securities to the earliest call date (with an explicit, noncontingent call feature that is callable at a fixed price and on a preset dates), rather than contractual maturity date as currently required under GAAP. The ASU does not impact instruments without preset call dates such as mortgage-backed securities.  For instruments with contingent call features, once the contingency is resolved and the security is callable at a fixed price and preset date, the security is within the scope of the ASU.  ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted.  Effective January 2017, we early adopted the pronouncement. Adoption of the new pronouncement was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - SECURITIES (continued)

that if a marketable security is in an unrealized loss position, whether due to general market conditions or industry or issuer-specific factors, the holder of the securities must assess whether the impairment is other-than-temporary.

Certain mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations that the Company holds in its investment portfolio were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2017,2020, but the unrealized losses were not considered significant under the Company’s impairment testing methodology. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell these securities, and it is likely that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery occurs.

The Bank, as a member of Visa USA, received 51,404 unrestricted shares of Visa, Inc. Class B common stock in connection with Visa, Inc.’s initial public offering in 2007 and a related retroactive responsibility plan. The retroactive responsibility plan obligates all former Visa USA members to indemnify Visa USA, in proportion to their equity interests in Visa USA, for certain litigation losses and expenses, including settlement expenses, for the lawsuits covered by the retrospective responsibility plan. Due to the restrictions that the retrospective responsibility plan imposes on the Company’s Visa, Inc. Class B shares, the Company did not record the Class B shares as an asset.

The Bank sold 25,702 shares of Visa Class B common stock in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the remaining 25,702 shares of Visa Class B common stock in the first quarter of 2019 and recorded an aggregate gain of $295,000.

Nonaccrual loans and impaired loans are defined differently. Some loans may be included in both categories, and some loans may only be included in one category. Nonaccrual loans include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans.

The Company’s reserve for uncollected loan interest was $250,000$135,000 and $199,000$81,000 at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, respectively. When a loan is on nonaccrual status and the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. Alternatively, when a loan is on non-accrualnonaccrual status but there is doubt concerning only the ultimate collectability of interest, contractual interest is credited to interest income only when received, under the cash basis method pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 310–10, as applicable. In all cases, the average balances are calculated based on the month–end balances of the financing receivables within the period reported pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 310–10, as applicable.

NOTE 4 - LOANS RECEIVABLE (continued)

U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP")

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020.  The CARES Act established the Paycheck Protection Program loan, designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll.  Under the most recently published guidance, the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") will forgive PPP loans if all employee retention criteria are met, and the funds are used for eligible expenses.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we allocated approximately $11 million to the PPP based on the expected 100% guaranty of the SBA.

COVID-19 Loan Forbearance Programs

Section 4013 of the recorded investmentCARES Act provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR") pursuant to US GAAP.  In addition, the Revised Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working With Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (“OCC Bulletin 2020-50”) provides more limited circumstances in which a loan modification is not subject to classification as a TDR and also defined the circumstances where the borrower’s loan is reported as current on loan payments. Pursuant to these new capabilities, we developed several loan forbearance programs to assist borrowers with managing cash flows disrupted due to COVID-19.

Our Apartment and Commercial Real Estate COVID-19 Qualified Limited Forbearance Agreement permitted borrowers who qualified under Section 4013 of the CARES Act to make an election to pay scheduled interest and escrow payments (if applicable) for a four-month period beginning in April 2020, and pay all deferred principal payments by December 2020.

Our Small Investment Property COVID-19 Qualified Limited Forbearance Agreement permitted borrowers with loan balances under $750,000 who qualified under Section 4013 of the CARES Act to make an election to pay scheduled interest and escrow payments (if applicable) for a four-month period beginning in April 2020, and pay all deferred principal payments by December 2020.   In addition, the borrower could elect to defer the May 2020 loan payment entirely, with all deferred interest amounts due by December 2020 and all deferred principal amounts due by June 30, 2021.


CARES Act Section 4013 and OCC Bulletin 2020-35 forbearance agreements are available to qualified commercial loan and commercial finance borrowers, and to commercial equipment lessees. 


For residential mortgage and consumer loans, relief under CARES Act Section 4013 or OCC Bulletin 2020-35 forbearance agreements are available to qualified borrowers with terms consistent with secondary residential mortgage market standards established by Fannie Mae.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company evaluates loan extensions or modifications not qualified under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under OCC Bulletin 2020-35in accordance with FASB ASC 310–40340-10 with respect to the classification of the loan as a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR"). In general,TDR.

Under ASC 340-10, if the Company grants a loan extension or modification to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties for other than an insignificant period of time that includes a below–market interest rate, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance or other concession intended to minimize the economic loss to the Company, the loan extension or loan modification is classified as a TDR. In cases where borrowers are granted new terms that provide for a reduction of either interest or principal then due and payable, management measures any impairment on the restructured loan in the same manner as for impaired loans as noted above.

The Company had $17,000 of TDRs at September 30, 2017, compared to $341,000 at December 31, 2016. No specific valuation reserves were allocated to those loans at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company had no outstanding commitments to borrowers whose loans were classified as TDRs at either date.

A TDRloan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

The TDRs for which there was a payment default resulted in no change to the allowance for loan losses allocated and resulted in no charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
There were certain other loan modifications during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. These loans had a total recorded investment of $149,000 and $615,000 at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties or a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant.
In order to

To determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans based on credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a monthly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the

NOTE 4 - LOANS RECEIVABLE (continued)

institution’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard. Loans categorized as Substandard continue to accrue interest, but exhibit a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. The loans continue to accrue interest because they are well secured and collection of principal and interest is expected within a reasonable time. The risk rating guidance published by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency clarifies that a loan with a well-defined weakness does not have to present a probability of default for the loan to be rated Substandard, and that an individual loan’s loss potential does not have to be distinct for the loan to be rated Substandard.

Nonaccrual. An asset classified Nonaccrual has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The loans were placed on nonaccrual status.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered “Pass” rated loans.

As of September 30, 2017, based

NOTE 5 - OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Real

Real estate that is acquired through foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned ("OREO") until it is sold. When real estate is acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, it is recorded at its fair value, less the estimated costs of disposal. If the fair value of the property is less than the loan balance, the difference is charged against the allowance for loan losses.

NOTE 6 - SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTSLEASES

The Company enters into operating leases in the normal course of business primarily for several of its branch and corporate locations. Leases (Topic 842) establishes a right of use model that requires a lessee to record a right of use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Currently the Company is obligated under four non-cancellable operating lease agreements for three branch properties and its corporate office. The leases have varying terms, the longest of which will end in 2032. The Company's lease agreements include options to renew at the Company's discretion. The extensions are not reasonably certain to be exercised; therefore, they were not considered in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. The Company has also elected not to recognize leases with original lease terms of 12 months or less (short-term leases) on the Company's Statement of Financial Condition.

The following table represents the classification of the Company's right of use and lease liabilities:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, 1,752,156 stock options were exercised. All stock options were exercised on a net settlement basis, using a portion of the shares obtained upon exercise to pay the exercise price of the stock option. The net settlements resulted in the issuance of 280,554 shares of the Company's common stock. Certain employees also chose to use a portion of the net shares received upon the exercise to pay required tax withholdings. This reduced the net shares issued by 82,528 shares to 198,026 shares.
NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

•

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Securities: The fair values of marketable equity securities are generally determined by quoted prices, in active markets, for each specific security (Level 1). If Level 1 measurement inputs are not available for a marketable equity security, we determine its fair value based on the quoted price of a similar security traded in an active market (Level 2). The fair values of debt securities are generally determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2)2).

Impaired Loans: loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available for similar loans and collateral underlying such

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE (continued)

loans. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted in accordance with the allowance policy.

Other Real Estate Owned: real estate owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are updated no less frequently than annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach with data from comparable properties. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Real estate owned properties are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE (continued)

FHLBC and FRB Stock: It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLBC and FRB stock due to the restrictions placed on their transferability.
Deposit Liabilities: The estimated fair value for certificates of deposit has been determined by calculating the present value of future cash flows based on estimates of rates the Company would pay on such deposits, applied for the time period until maturity. The estimated fair values of noninterest-bearing demand, NOW, money market, and savings deposits are assumed to approximate their carrying values as management establishes rates on these deposits at a level that approximates the local market area. Additionally, these deposits can be withdrawn on demand.
Borrowings: The estimated fair values of advances from the FHLBC and notes payable are based on current market rates for similar financing. The estimated fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is assumed to equal its carrying value due to the short-term nature of the liability.
Accrued Interest: The estimated fair values of accrued interest receivable and payable are assumed to equal their carrying value.
Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments: Off-balance-sheet items consist principally of unfunded loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and unused lines of credit. The estimated fair values of unfunded loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and unused lines of credit are not material.
assumptions.

While the above estimates are based on management’s judgment of the most appropriate factors, as of the balance sheet date, there is no assurance that the estimated fair values would have been realized if the assets were disposed of or the liabilities settled at that date, since market values may differ depending on the various circumstances. The estimated fair values would also not apply to subsequent dates.

In addition, other assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments, such as premises and equipment, are not included in the above disclosures.

(1)Not within the scope of ASC 606

A description of the Company's revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

Deposit service charges and fees:The Company earns fees from its deposit customers based on specific types of transactions, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.

Interchange income: The Company earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through the Visa payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Interchange income is included in deposit service charges and fees. Interchange income was $ 394,000 and $ 395,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.  Interchange income was $ 1.1 million and $ 1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Trust and insurance commissions and annuities income: The Company earns trust, insurance commissions and annuities income from its contracts with trust customers to manage assets for investment, and/or to transact on their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of assets under management (AUM) at month-end. Fees that are transaction based, including trade execution services, are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed, i.e., the trade date. Other related services provided include fees the Company earns, which are based on a fixed fee schedule, are recognized when the services are rendered.

Gains/losses on sales of OREO and other assets: The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO and other assets when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present. OREO sales for the three and  nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were not financed by the Bank.

disruptions or illiquidity in national or global financial markets; (ix) the credit risks of lending activities, including risks that could cause changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and charge-offs or changes in estimates relating to the computation of our allowance for loan losses; (x) monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; (xi) factors affecting our ability to access deposits or cost-effective funding, and the impact of competitors' pricing initiatives on our deposit products; (xii) the impact of new legislationlegislative or regulatory changes, including the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III,that have an adverse impact on our products, services, operations and operating expenses; (xiii) higher federal deposit insurance premiums; (xiv) higher than expected overhead, infrastructure and compliance costs; (xv) changes in accounting or tax principles, policies or guidelines; (xvi) the effects of any federal government shutdown; and (xvi)(xvii) privacy and cybersecurity risks, including the risks of business interruption and the compromise of confidential customer information resulting from intrusions.

These risks and uncertainties, together with the Risk Factors and other information set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and this2019, as well as Part II, Items 1A of our subsequent Quarterly ReportReports on Form 10-Q, as well asand other filings we make with the SEC, should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement in the future, or to reflect circumstances and events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement was made.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the most critical accounting policies upon which our financial condition and results of operation depend, and which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, are included in the discussion entitled “Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and all amendments thereto,2019, as filed with the SEC.

Overview

Total loans remained stable

At September 2020, the Company continued to be in the third quartera strong financial and operational condition. The Company had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 2017 as strong originations in commercial and industrial loans and multi-family real estate loans were offset by higher than expected payoffs in commercial leases and investor one-to-four family residential loans. Total commercial and industrial loans increased by 14% on a linked-quarter basis consistent with our recent conversion to a national bank charter. We expect continued growth in commercial and industrial loan originations and multi-family lending consistent with previous quarters10.66% and a resumptionTier 1 risk-based capital ratio of growth in commercial lease originations in the last quarter of 2017.

We recorded a decrease to our provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2017, as recoveries on previously-charged off loans exceeded the additional loan loss provision required due to growth in commercial-related loan balances. Based on the current loan portfolio composition and activity, we expect net interest margin to trend towards 3.30% during the fourth quarter of 2017, without regard to any further Federal Reserve rate increases.
Non-interest income increased modestly due primarily to higher deposit-account related fee income, loan fee income and other income. Additional growth in commercial and industrial lending, together with new product development within commercial leasing, multi-family/commercial real estate and trust operations, may contribute to further increases in non-interest income in future quarters.
Non-interest expense increased due to increased incentive compensation related to loan originations, and increased occupancy expenses primarily related to real estate tax expenses. The growth within multi-family lending, healthcare lending and direct commercial lessor finance required us to file additional state franchise tax returns; however, we expect to gain the benefit of lower state income tax rates from certain new markets in future periods. We also recognized additional advance disposition costs as we further accelerated the reduction of our remaining Other Real Estate Owned balances during the third quarter of 2017, with a goal to reduce the balance at December 31, 2017 by 40% or more of the September 30, 2017 balance. Other non-interest expenses remained well-contained.
17.84%. Our ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.19%, for commercial related loans0.22% and the ratio was 0.03%, and our ratio of non-performingnonperforming assets to total assets was 0.37%0.15%. The Company’s subsidiary, BankFinancial NA, had 28.3% of total assets in cash deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank and other insured depository institutions. We believe the Company continues to be prepared for the economic and social consequences of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Pandemic Operational Status

Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, we restored walk-in branch service hours for limited periods and modestly expanded drive-in hours for certain branch offices to accommodate customer service needs at peak periods. We implemented enhanced health safety protocols in all branch facilities for which we restored walk-in branch services.  As of September 30, 2017. 2020, two branch offices remain closed as we consolidated the customer service capabilities of these facilities with another nearby branch location.

Loan Composition & Activity

Our classified assets-to-Tier 1 Capital+ALLLloan portfolio continues to benefit from its inherent diversity of credit exposures and geographic distribution. Consistent with our long-standing asset allocation principles, we have no material exposure to the hospitality (hotels or restaurants/franchises), oil and gas production, or travel/leisure industries. We have no exposure to direct construction lending or leveraged loans. We have limited exposure to residential mortgages and consumer loans. Our principle of lending based on “essential-use” assets and industries, such as affordable multi-family housing, health care and within a broadly-diversified range of large corporations and governments, has so far resulted in a loan portfolio that could prove to be resilient in terms of asset quality performance.

21

In the third quarter of 2020, total loans declined by $15.9 million (1.5%) compared to June 30, 2020.  Commercial loan and lease finance balances increased by $5.0 million (1.3%) as growth in Equipment Finance originations offset reductions in commercial line of credit balances and scheduled principal amortizations in the Equipment Finance portfolio.  Total equipment finance originations were $58.9 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $18.0 million in the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to substantial growth in government and middle market commercial equipment and software finance transactions.  Line of credit usage by healthcare providers remains at historically low levels, as providers continued to receive substantial additional liquidity from Medicare reimbursement advances and other sources, and most line of credit borrowers chose to pay down credit exposures to the maximum extent possible.  Multi-family residential mortgage loans decreased by $13.8 million (2.6%) primarily due to prepayment activity related to project sales and external refinance activity.  Nonresidential real estate mortgage loans declined by $3.1 million (2.4%) primarily due to scheduled principal amortization.

U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)

We originated ten loans for $135,000 pursuant to the U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") in the third quarter of 2020.  Due to the uncertainties concerning the PPP, borrower demand for PPP loans declined each month during the second and third quarters of 2020. At September 30, 2020, we had 310 PPP loans with $11.0 million in outstanding principal balance.  We focused our PPP loan origination capabilities on new and existing small business deposit customers, resulting in an average loan origination amount of approximately $35,000.  On October 8, 2020, the SBA announced that PPP loans of $50,000 or less would be eligible for a streamlined loan forgiveness process.  As of September 30, 2020, we had 168 PPP loans for a total of $3.2 million with balances of $50,000 or less eligible for streamlined forgiveness, of which 41 loans totaling $678,000 had completed PPP Loan Forgiveness Applications submitted to the SBA.

In anticipation of further extensions and enhancements to the PPP, we implemented a technology solution to automate the processing of PPP loans.  We also implemented a technology solution to automate the processing of requests for forgiveness of PPP loans not forgiven by operation of law.  As of September 30, 2020, we submitted 57 completed Loan Forgiveness Applications for a total of $2.4 million to the SBA PPP Loan Forgiveness Portal.  As of October 23, 2020, the SBA had processed and paid 16 PPP Loan Forgiveness Applications, totaling approximately $388,000 in principal.

COVID-19 Loan Forbearance Program

Section 4013 of the CARES Act provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a Troubled Debt Restructuring pursuant to GAAP. In addition, OCC Bulletin 2020-35 provides more limited circumstances in which a loan modification is not subject to classification as a Troubled Debt Restructuring. Pursuant to these new capabilities, we developed several loan forbearance programs in the first half of 2020 to assist borrowers with managing cash flows disrupted due to COVID-19.

Our Apartment and Commercial Real Estate Qualified Limited Forbearance Program permits borrowers who qualify under Section 4013 of the CARES Act to make an election to pay scheduled interest and escrow payments (if applicable) for a four-month period beginning in April, 2020, and pay all deferred principal payments by December 2020.  As of September 30, 2020, 104 borrowers with $90.0 million in total outstanding balances executed a Qualified Limited Forbearance Program Agreement.  At September 30, 2020, 23 borrowers had paid all deferred amounts owed.  The remaining 81 borrowers owe approximately $458,000 in deferred principal payments which are scheduled for payment in full by December 31, 2020.

For small investment property owners with loan balances under $750,000, the borrower could elect to defer the May 2020 loan payment entirely, with all deferred interest amounts due by December, 2020 and all deferred principal amounts due by June 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2020, 40 borrowers with $12.3 million in outstanding principal balances executed to a Small Investment Property Limited Forbearance Program Agreement. At September 30, 2020, ten borrowers had paid all deferred amounts owed.  The remaining 30 borrowers owe approximately $139,000 of deferred payments, of which $97,000 is scheduled for payment by December 31, 2020 and $42,000 is scheduled for payment by June 30, 2021.

CARES Act Section 4013 and OCC Bulletin 2020-35 forbearance agreements are available to qualified commercial loan and commercial finance borrowers, and to commercial equipment lessees. As of September 30, 2020, we had no commercial loan borrowers subject to any form of forbearance agreement.  As of September 30, 2020, there were 25 commercial equipment lease obligations with $9.2 million in outstanding principal balances subject to a forbearance agreement which extended the maturity and re-amortized the principal over the remaining term with a weighted average maturity of 33 months. As of September 30, 2020, all lessees subject to re-amortization were current on all required payments.

Owner-Occupied Residential Mortgage & Consumer Loans

For residential mortgage and consumer loans, CARES Act Section 4013 or OCC Bulletin 2020-35 forbearance agreements are available to qualified borrowers. As of September 30, 2020, we had ten borrowers with $1.4 million in outstanding principal balances subject to a forbearance agreement with terms consistent with secondary residential mortgage market standards established by Fannie Mae.  As of September 30, 2020, there were approximately $11,000 of deferred payments of which $4,000 is scheduled for payment by December 31, 2020 and $7,000 is scheduled for payment by June 30, 2021.

Asset Quality

Our nonperforming loans to total loans ratio was 4.40%.0.22% as of September 30, 2020.  We expect continued reductionsplaced one Chicago nonresidential real estate loan in the amount of $1.6 million on nonaccrual status during the third quarter of 2020, due to our decision to commence receivership proceedings based on the borrower’s unauthorized material alteration of the OREO balancecollateral; however, the borrower expects to repay the loan in full prior to the November, 2020 effective date of the receivership.  Past due loan balances, including payments due on any loan or leases subject to a forbearance agreement, continued to remain nominal; however, these trends could change based on the pace of economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and scheduled pending resolutionsbased on any further fiscal stimulus, if any, from the U.S. Government in the future.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Our allowance for loan losses ("ALLL") decreased by $145,000 (1.8%), compared to an increase of $44,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the decline in lessor line of credit balances, partially offset by continued precautionary increases in the loan loss reserve ratios for multi-family residential and nonesidential real estate loans.  As of September 30, 2020, the required reserve ratios for multi-family residential real estate loans and nonresidential real estate loans increased by 21.5%, and 58.2%, respectively, compared to December 31, 2019.

If our loan balances increase as business and liquidity conditions normalize for our health care borrowers, and as equipment finance and commercial loan and finance originations return to their previously expected levels, we expect that we will experience additional increases to the ALLL.  Additionally, should economic conditions worsen due to the broad impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, further improve our asset quality.


increases in required reserve ratios for certain loan types may also require an increase in the ALLL.

Table of Contents

Deposit Portfolio Composition & Activity

Our deposit portfolio composition consists almost entirely of core transaction accounts, including local retail and business money market deposit accounts, and local retail certificates of deposit accounts. In the third quarter of 2020, total deposits increased by $14.1 million (1.0%), net of a $11.3 million reduction in wholesale deposit balances.  Core transaction account balances increased by $53.5 million during the third quarter of 2020 and $218.2 million since December 31, 2019, primarily due to the continuing impacts of multiple COVID-19 U.S. Government fiscal stimulus programs and reductions in personal and business spending by depositors.  We also note that the delays enacted for federal and state tax reporting and remittances also deferred seasonal deposit withdrawal activities which typically occur earlier in the calendar year.  For the remainder of 2020, we expect greater volatility in deposit balances, as various forms of government stimulus provide additional liquidity to depositors, but in most cases this liquidity may also be consumed to pay current or past due obligations. Given our substantial liquidity, we expect to maintain a moderate competitive posture for interest-bearing deposits, particularly certificates of deposit, with pricing flexibility reserved for our most valuable overall deposit relationships.

Net Interest Income and Noninterest Income

The abrupt decline in interest rates during the first quarter of 2020 not only reduced interest income on floating-rate commercial loans and liquidity assets, but it also reduced competitive pressures and depositor expectations concerning deposit interest rates. Because of the need to maintain higher levels of liquidity and delays in business investment activity due to COVID-19 disruptions, some further compression of our net interest margin is foreseeable through year-end, but a sustained recovery in business conditions should enable us to continue to deploy our expanded asset generation resources and thus reallocate some of our excess liquidity.

The average yield on our loan and lease portfolio for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was 4.43%, compared to an average loan and lease portfolio yield of 4.57% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The average cost of retail and commercial deposits decreased to 0.48% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to an average cost of 0.63% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The average cost of wholesale deposits and borrowings declined to 2.22% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Our net interest margin decreased to 2.85% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to 3.09% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

For the third quarter of 2020, noninterest income was $1.3 million, compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2020. Noninterest income improved slightly in the third quarter of 2020 as the impact of “Stay-At-Home” orders on use of card-based payments for retail sales and on commercial mortgage brokerage activity began to recover.  Changes in the market return of trust assets caused a slight reduction in wealth management and trust income.  Due to the abrupt change in market interest rates in the first quarter, income on our bank-owned life insurance portfolio remained at significantly reduced levels.  We expect to see some continued gradual improvement in consumer spending, trust and wealth management income, and commercial real estate brokerage fees as these market-based opportunities commensurate with the reduction of uncertainties in consumer incomes, commercial real estate rental collections and debt/equity market investments return potential.

Noninterest Expense

Current market conditions favor a focus on expense reductions where feasible; however, our Business Plan requires investment in personnel and marketing resources to achieve our growth objectives in our loan and lease portfolios, and noninterest income for Commercial Mortgage Banking and Trust Services. Accordingly, we will seek to leverage cost savings from improved efficiencies in customer service delivery and reduction of legacy card-based transaction assets such as ATM/debit cards and machines to help offset declines in interest income, and preserve our ability to realize our business generation priorities.

Noninterest expense increased to $9.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  Compensation and benefits increased by $230,000, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020, including $100,000 of employee severance accruals, $100,000 for branch employee pandemic service recognition payments and $13,000 for additional security related to civil unrest in the Chicago metropolitan area.  Occupancy expenses increased by $137,000 due to extensive cleaning activities for branch and corporate facilities. Information technology expenses decreased slightly due to the renegotiation of technology contracts and completion of improvements in our information security and network capacities.  Despite increased expenses for health safety and other COVID-19 protections and responses, other expenses remained well-contained, as we curtailed marketing expenses and other discretionary expenses to improve efficiencies.

Capital Management

The decline in the Company’s share price to below tangible book value should create an opportunity to enhance shareholder value through highly accretive share repurchases, absent the imposition of regulatory limitations or the existence of higher priority capital needs. We also intend to continue to pursue acquisition opportunities that meet our established parameters, if executable under current market conditions.

We repurchased 66,000 shares at an average cost of $7.82 during the third quarter of 2020. Our tangible book value increased to $11.63 at September 30, 2020 from $11.58 at June 30, 2020.  At September 30, 2020, we had 89,127 shares available for repurchase in our share repurchase program.  The current share repurchase authorization will expire on October 31, 2020, unless extended.

Average Balance Sheets

The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect of these adjustments would not be material. Average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans are included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees and expenses and discounts and premiums and purchase accounting adjustments that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Provision for Loan Losses

We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, we consider past and current loss experience, evaluations of real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of nonperforming and other classified loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or events change. We assess the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and make provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance.

A loan balance is classified as a loss and charged-off when it is confirmed that there is no readily apparent source of repayment for the portion of the loan that is classified as loss. Confirmation can occur upon the receipt of updated third-party appraisal valuation information indicating that there is a low probability of repayment upon sale of the collateral, the final disposition of collateral where the net proceeds are insufficient to pay the loan balance in full, our failure to obtain possession of certain consumer-loan collateral within certain time limits specified by applicable federal regulations, the conclusion of legal proceedings where the borrower’s obligation to repay is legally discharged (such as a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding), or when it appears that further formal collection procedures are not likely to result in net proceeds in excess of the costs to collect.

We recorded a recovery of loan losses of $225,000$187,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017,2020, compared to $525,000a recovery of $134,000 for the same period in 2016.2019. The provision for, or recovery of, loan losses is a function of the allowance for loan loss methodology that we use to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for inherent loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted. The portion of the allowance for loan losses that is attributable to loans collectively evaluated for impairment increased $252,000,decreased $165,000, or 3.1%2.0%, to $8.4$8.0 million at September 30, 2017,2020 from $8.1$8.2 million at June 30, 2017.2020. There was no reservewere $20,000 reserves established for loans individually evaluated for impairment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 or2020, compared to no reserves established for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Net recoveries were $477,000loans individually evaluated for impairment for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 321.46%343.08% at September 30, 2017,2020, compared to 274.76%457.43% at June 30, 2017.

Average Balance Sheets

The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect of these adjustments would not be material. Average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans are included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees and expenses and discounts and premiums purchase accounting adjustments that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Provision for Loan Losses

We recorded a recovery ofprovision for loan losses of $15,000$326,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, compared to a provision for loan losses of $300,000$3.7 million for the same period in 2016.2019. The portion of the allowance for loan losses attributable to loans collectively evaluated for impairment increased $273,000,$359,000, or 3.4%4.7%, to $8.4$8.0 million at September 30, 2017. The reserve2020, from $7.6 million at December 31, 2019. There were $20,000 reserves established for loans individually evaluated for impairment decreased $26,000 to zero at September 30, 2017.

Net recoveries were $262,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020 and no reserves established for loans individually evaluated for impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Net2019.  The decreases in net charge-offs in 2016and provision for loan losses were primarily due to the fact that our operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included a $1.6$4.4 million charge-off resulting fromloss on the sale of three performing loans to a single borrower with a total carrying value of $16.2 millionChicago commercial credit exposure that experienced an unexpected deterioration in the second quarter of 2016. Although the loans were well-secured and supported by adequate cash flow, the Company concluded that possible future events could increase the risk of a default and subject the Company to significant legal expenses and an extended resolution period. The Company therefore elected to pursue a resolution that would result in a finite, known consequence rather than pursue alternative resolution strategies that presented multiple uncertainties and risks that were difficult to quantify.

The decrease in noninterest expense is due in substantial part to decreases in compensation and benefits, advertising and public relations and other noninterest expense, offset in part by an increase in information technology expense. Compensation and benefits expense decreased $229,000,$44,000, or 1.3%0.3%, partially due to a decrease in full-time equivalent employees to 210 at September 30, 2020 from 223 at September 31, 2019.  Information technology expense increased $102,000, or 4.3%, to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to system upgrades and cybersecurity prevention expenses. FDIC insurance premiums increased $114,000, to $241,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $127,000 for the same period in 2019, due to the receipt of the FDIC's small bank assessment credit in third quarter 2019. Other expenses decreased $447,000, or 16.9%, to $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from $2.6 million for the same period in 2019, due in substantial part to the reversal of a decrease$116,000 reserve established for the open letters of $590,000credit related to a loan charge-off that was recorded in stock-based compensationthe second quarter 2019.  Supplies and office occupancy expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which was partially offset by increased accruals for loan origination and business plan performance incentives. In the first quarter of 2017, we recorded a one-time, non-cash, non-tax deductible equity compensation expense of $1.1 million2020 included $341,000 in expenses related to the termination of the Bank's ESOPcivil unrest and the repayment of the ESOP’s Share Acquisition Loan.

Expenses for office occupancyinfection control and equipment increased $145,000, or 3.0%, primarily due to increased real estate taxes and increased rent expense for the lending operations in selected metropolitan areas outside our primary lending area. Operations of OREO decreased $79,000, or 14.7%, due to decreases in legal expense and maintenance and repairs expense, partially offset by a decrease of $80,000 in rental income. Other expenses decreased $88,000, or 2.4%, primarily due to reductions in loss due to fraud in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the fact that we recorded an expense of $150,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 for a mortgage representation and warranty reserve for mortgage loans sold and serviced for others.

In addition, our income tax expense was reduced by $879,000 due to an increase in the deferred tax asset related to our Illinois net operating loss carryforward. Effective in July 2017, our Illinois income tax rate increased from 7.75% to 9.5%.

Nonperforming Loans and Assets

We review loans on a regular basis, and generally place loans on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. In addition, the Company placeswe place loans on nonaccrual status when we do not expect to receive full payment of interest or principal. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are recognized in accordance with our significant accounting policies. Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the borrower must generally demonstrate at least six consecutive months of contractual payment performance before the loan is eligible to return to accrual status. We may have loans classified as 90 days or more delinquent and still accruing. Generally, we do not utilize this category of loan classification unless: (1) the loan is repaid in full shortly after the period end date; (2) the loan is well secured and there are no asserted or pending legal barriers to its collection; or (3) the borrower has remitted all scheduled payments and is otherwise in substantial compliance with the terms of the loan, but the processing of loan payments actually

received or the renewal of the loan has not occurred for administrative reasons. At September 30, 2017,2020, we had no loans in this category.

We typically obtain new third–party appraisals or collateral valuations when we place a loan on nonaccrual status, conduct impairment testing or conduct a TDR analysis unless the existing valuation information for the collateral is sufficiently current to comply with the requirements of our Appraisal and Collateral Valuation Policy (“ACV Policy”). We also obtain new third–party appraisals or collateral valuations when the judicial foreclosure process concludes with respect to real estate collateral, and when we otherwise acquire actual or constructive title to real estate collateral. In addition to third–party appraisals, we use updated valuation information based on Multiple Listing Service data, broker opinions of value, actual sales prices of similar assets sold by us and approved sales prices in response to offers to purchase similar assets owned by us to provide interim valuation information for consolidated financial statement and management purposes. Our ACV Policy establishes the maximum useful life of a real estate appraisal at 18 months. Because appraisals and updated valuations utilize historical or “ask–side” data in reaching valuation conclusions, the appraised or updated valuation may or may not reflect the actual sales price that we will receive at the time of sale.

Real estate appraisals may include up to three approaches to value: the sales comparison approach, the income approach (for income-producing property) and the cost approach. Not all appraisals utilize all three approaches. Depending on the nature of the collateral and market conditions, we may emphasize one approach over another in determining the fair value of real estate collateral. Appraisals may also contain different estimates of value based on the level of occupancy or planned future improvements. “As-is” valuations represent an estimate of value based on current market conditions with no changes to the use or condition of the real estate collateral. “As-stabilized” or “as-completed” valuations assume the real estate collateral will be improved to a stated standard or achieve its highest and best use in terms of occupancy. “As-stabilized” or “as-completed” valuations may be subject to a present value adjustment for market conditions or the schedule of improvements.

As part of the asset classification process, we develop an exit strategy for real estate collateral or OREO by assessing overall market conditions, the current use and condition of the asset, and its highest and best use. For most income–producing real estate, we believe that investors value most highly a stable income stream from the asset; consequently, we perform a comparative evaluation to determine whether conducting a sale on an “as–is”,is,” “as–stabilized” or “as–completed” basis is most likely to produce the highest net realizable value. If we determine that the “as–stabilized” or “as–completed” basis is appropriate, we then complete the necessary improvements or tenant stabilization tasks, with the applicable time value discount and improvement expenses incorporated into our estimates of the expected costs to sell. As of September 30, 2017,2020, substantially all impaired real estate loan collateral and OREO were valued on an “as–is basis.”

Estimates of the net realizable value of real estate collateral also include a deduction for the expected costs to sell the collateral or such other deductions from the cash flows resulting from the operation and liquidation of the asset as are appropriate. For most real estate collateral subject to the judicial foreclosure process, we generally apply a 10.0% deduction to the value of the asset to determine the expected costs to sell the asset. This estimate includes one year of real estate taxes, sales commissions and miscellaneous repair and closing costs. If we receive a purchase offer that requires unbudgeted repairs, or if the expected resolution period for the asset exceeds one year, we then include, on a case-by-case basis, the costs of the additional real estate taxes and repairs and any other material holding costs in the expected costs to sell the collateral. For OREO, we generally apply a 7.0% deduction to determine the expected costs to sell, as expenses for real estate taxes and repairs are expensed when incurred.

We continue to experience modest quantities of defaults on residential real estate loans principally due either to the borrower’s personal financial condition or deteriorated collateral value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. The overall objective of our liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash funds to meet all financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. We manage liquidity in order to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.

Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and, to a lesser extent, wholesale borrowings, the proceeds from maturing securities and short-term investments, and the proceeds from the sales of loans and securities and lease payments. The scheduled amortization of loans and securities, as well as proceeds from borrowings, are predictable sources of funds. Other funding sources, however, such as deposit inflows, mortgage prepayments and mortgage loan sales are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments and lines of credit and maturing certificates of deposit that are not renewed or extended. We generally remain fully invested and utilize FHLBCFHLB advances as an additional sourcessource of funds. We had $60.0$4.0 million of FHLBCFHLB advances outstanding at September 30, 20172020 and $50.0 millionnone at December 31, 2016.

2019.

The Company is a separate legal entity from BankFinancial, NA. The Company must provide for its own liquidity to pay any dividends to its shareholders and to repurchase shares of its common stock, and for other corporate purposes. The Company's primary source of liquidity is dividend payments it receives from the Bank. The Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company is subject to regulatory limitations. At September 30, 2020, the Company (on an unconsolidated, stand-alone basis) had liquid assets of $8.0 million.  On April 1, 2020, the Company obtained a $5.0 million unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank. Interest is payable at a rate of Prime rate minus 0.75%. The line of credit will mature on April 1, 2021.  The line of credit had no outstanding balance at September 30, 2020. 

As of September 30, 2017,2020, we were not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that had or were reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on our liquidity.  As of September 30, 2017,2020, we had no other material commitments for capital expenditures.

Capital Management - Bank. The overall objectives of our capital management are to ensure the availability of sufficient capital to support loan, deposit and other asset and liability growth opportunities and to maintain sufficient capital to absorb unforeseen losses or write-downs that are inherent in the business risks associated with the banking industry. We seek to balance the need for higher capital levels to address such unforeseen risks and the goal to achieve an adequate return on the capital invested by our stockholders.

The Bank and the Company areis subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. The capital adequacy guidelines and additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve the quantitative measurement of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. The failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in regulatory actions. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015, with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019.2015. The net unrealized gain or loss on available for saleavailable-for-sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital.

In addition, as a result of the legislation, the federal banking agencies developed a “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (the ratio of a bank’s tangible equity capital to average total consolidated assets) for financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion. A “qualifying community bank” that exceeds this ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under Prompt Corrective Action statutes. The federal banking agencies may consider a financial institution’s risk profile when evaluating whether it qualifies as a community bank for purposes of the capital ratio requirement. The federal banking agencies must set the minimum capital for the new Community Bank Leverage Ratio at not less than 8% and not more than 10%. Beginning in the second quarter 2020 and until the end of the year, a banking organization that has a leverage ratio of 8% or greater and meets certain other criteria may elect to use the Community Bank Leverage Ratio framework; and qualified community banks will have until January 1, 2022, before the Community Bank Leverage Ratio requirement is re-established at greater than 9%. Pursuant to Section 4012 of the CARES Act and related interim final rules, the Community Bank Leverage Ratio will be 8% beginning in the second quarter and for the remainder of calendar year 2020, 8.5% for calendar year 2021, and 9% thereafter. A financial institution can elect to be subject to this new definition, and opt-out of this new definition, at any time. As a qualified community bank, we elected to be subject to this definition beginning the second quarter of 2020.   As of September 30, 2020, the Bank's Community Bank Leverage Ratio was 10.13%.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. As

Table of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the OCC categorized the Bank as well–capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since those notifications that management believes have changed the institution’s well–capitalized status.Contents
The Company and the Bank have each adopted Regulatory Capital Plans that require the Bank to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 7.5%, 7.0% for common equity tier 1 captial and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.5% (including the Capital Conservation Buffer ("CCB")).

The minimum capital ratios set forth in the Regulatory Capital Plans will be increased or decreased and other minimum capital requirements will be established if and as necessary. In accordance with the Regulatory Capital Plans, neither the Company nor the Bank will not pursue any acquisition or growth opportunity, declare any dividend or conduct any stock repurchase that would cause the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio and/or its Tier 1 leverage ratio to fall below the established minimum capital levels or the capital levels required for capital adequacy plus the  CCB.capital conservation buffer (“ CCB”). The minimum CCB at September 30, 2017 is 1.25% and will increase 0.625% annually through 2019 to 2.5%. In addition, the Company will continue to maintain its ability to serve as a source of financial strength to the Bank by holding at least $5.0 million of cash or liquid assets for that purpose.

As of September 30, 2017,2020, the Bank and the Company werewas well-capitalized, with all capital ratios exceeding the well-capitalized requirement. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the Bank’s prompt corrective action capitalization category.

The Bank is subject to regulatory restrictions on the amount of dividends it may declare and pay to the Company without prior regulatory approval, and to regulatory notification requirements for dividends that do not require prior regulatory approval.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had repurchased 2,482,879 shares of its common stock out of the 2,830,755 shares of common stock authorized under the share repurchase authorizations. The Board increased the share repurchase authorization by 250,000 shares to its current level on July 27, 2017. The share repurchase authorization will expire on December 31, 2017 unless further extended by the Board.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Qualitative Analysis. A significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results from timing differences in the maturity or repricing of our assets, liabilities and off balance sheet contracts (i.e., forward loan commitments), the effect of loan prepayments and deposit withdrawals, the difference in the behavior of lending and funding rates arising from the use of different indices and “yield curve risk” arising from changing rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities for constant or variable credit risk investments. In addition to directly affecting net interest income, changes in market interest rates can also affect the amount of new loan originations, the ability of borrowers to repay variable rate loans, the volume of loan prepayments and refinancings, the carrying value of investment securities classified as available-for-sale and the flow and mix of deposits.

The general objective of our interest rate risk management is to determine the appropriate level of risk given our business strategy and then manage that risk in a manner that is consistent with our policy to reduce, to the extent possible, the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which consists of certain members of senior management, evaluates the interest rate risk inherent in certain assets and liabilities, our operating environment and capital and liquidity requirements, and modifies our lending, investing and deposit gathering strategies accordingly. The Board of Directors then reviews the ALCO’s activities and strategies, the effect of those strategies on our net interest margin, and the effect that changes in market interest rates would have on the economic value of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the intrinsic value of our deposits and borrowings, and reports to the full Board of Directors.

We actively evaluate interest rate risk in connection with our lending, investing and deposit activities. In an effort to better manage interest-rateinterest rate risk, we have de-emphasized the origination of residential mortgage loans, and have increased our emphasis on the origination of nonresidential real estate loans, multi-family mortgage loans, commercial loans and commercial leases. In addition, depending on market interest rates and our capital and liquidity position, we generally sell all or a portion of our longer-term, fixed-rate residential loans, usually on a servicing-retained basis. Further, we primarily invest in shorter-duration securities, which generally have lower yields compared to longer-term investments. Shortening the average maturity of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term loans and securities, as well as loans with variable rates of interest, helps to better match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Finally, we have classified all of our investment portfolio as available-for-sale so as to provide flexibility in liquidity management.

We utilize a combination of analyses to monitor the Bank’s exposure to changes in interest rates. The economic value of equity analysis is a model that estimates the change in net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheetoff-balance-sheet contracts. In calculating changes in NPV, we assume estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates that seem most likely based on historical experience during prior interest rate changes.

Our net interest income analysis utilizes the data derived from the dynamic GAP analysis, described below, and applies several additional elements, including actual interest rate indices and margins, contractual limitations such as interest rate floors and caps and the U.S. Treasury yield curve as of the balance sheet date. In addition, we apply consistent parallel yield curve shifts (in both directions) to determine possible changes in net interest income if the theoretical yield curve shifts occurred instantaneously. Net interest income analysis also adjusts the dynamic GAP repricing analysis based on changes in prepayment rates resulting from the parallel yield curve shifts.

Our dynamic GAP analysis determines the relative balance between the repricing of assets and liabilities over multiple periods of time (ranging from overnight to five years). Dynamic GAP analysis includes expected cash flows from loans and mortgage-backed securities, applying prepayment rates based on the differential between the current interest rate and the market interest rate for each loan and security type. This analysis identifies mismatches in the timing of asset and liability repricing but does not necessarily provide an accurate indicator of interest rate risk because it omits the factors incorporated into the net interest income analysis.

Quantitative Analysis. The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2017,2020, the estimated changes in the Bank’s NPV and net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous parallel shift in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

The table set forth above indicates that at September 30, 2017,2020, in the event of an immediate 25 basis point decrease in interest rates, the Bank would be expected to experience a 1.60%2.48% decrease in NPV and a $791,000$328,000 decrease in net interest income. In the event of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Bank would be expected to experience a 0.71%2.39% increase in NPV and a $2.3$4.5 million increase in net interest income. This data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors, which could reduce the actual impact on NPV and net interest income, if any.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV and net interest income requires that we make certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The NPV and net interest income table presented above assumes that the composition of our interest-rate-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and, accordingly, the data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors. The table also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or the repricing characteristics of specific assets and liabilities. Because of the shortcomings mentioned above, management considers many additional factors such as projected changes in loan and deposit balances and various projected forward interest rate scenarios when evaluating strategies for managing interest rate risk. Accordingly, although the NPV and net interest income table provides an indication of our sensitivity to interest rate changes at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.
