NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)

March 31, 2017

(1)

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Standard 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.

(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 Financial Corp. at and for the year ended September 30, 2016 contained in the Company’s definitive prospectus dated February 1, 2017 (the “Prospectus”) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Securities Act Rule 424(b)(3) on February 3, 2017. The results for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2017 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017 or any future interim period. Certain amounts in the 2016 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 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 and six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Six Months Ended March 31,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Net income available to common stockholders	$	563	$	902	$	1,122	$	1,767

Basic EPS:

Basic EPS	$	0.23	$	0.37	$	0.47	$	0.71

Diluted EPS:
Weighted average shares outstanding		2,415,829		2,409,780		2,404,455		2,501,836
Diluted effect of common stock equivalents		83,666		87,556		77,455		89,476

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (a new revenue recognition standard). The Update’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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. In addition, this Update specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. This Update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Because the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities, we do not expect the new standard, or any of the amendments, to result in a material change from our current accounting for revenue because the majority of the Company's financial instruments are not within the scope of Topic 606. However, we do expect that the standard will result in new disclosure requirements, which are currently being evaluated

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this Update defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting Update.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805). The amendments in this Update require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in this Update require that the acquirer record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this Update require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. 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 January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Update applies to all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities and is intended to provide more useful information on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, this Update (a) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; (d) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (e) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (f) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (g) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that are not public business entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including 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 February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as one in which (a) the lease term is 12 months or less and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect to recognize lease payments over the lease term on a straight-line basis. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the practical expedients it may elect at adoption, but does not anticipate the amendments will have a significant impact on the financial statements. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis of its

current portfolio, the impact to the Company’s balance sheet is estimated to result in less than a 1 percent increase in assets and liabilities. The Company also anticipates additional disclosures to be provided at adoption.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this Update affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The standards in this Update provide simplification for several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as with equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. In addition to those simplifications, the amendments eliminate the guidance in Topic 718 that was indefinitely deferred shortly after the issuance of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. This should not result in a change in practice because the guidance that is being superseded was never effective. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

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. We expect 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 August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. Among these include recognizing cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment as cash outflows for financing activities; cash proceeds received from the settlement of insurance claims should be classified on the basis of the related insurance coverage; and cash proceeds received from the settlement of bank-owned life insurance policies should be classified as cash inflows from investing activities while the cash payments for premiums on bank-owned policies may be classified as cash outflows for investing activities, operating activities, or a combination of investing and operating activities. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s statement of cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), which requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are

effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s statement of cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. Public business entities should apply the amendments in this Update to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. All other entities should apply the amendments to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. 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 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. 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 February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-06, Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), and Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965). This Update relates primarily to the reporting by an employee benefit plan for its interest in a master trust, which is a trust for which a regulated financial institution serves as a trustee or custodian and in which assets of more than one plan sponsored by a single employer or by a group of employers under common control are held. For each master trust in which a plan holds an interest, the amendments in this Update require a plan's interest in that master trust and any change in that interest to be presented in separate line items in the statement of net assets available for benefits and in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits, respectively. The amendments in this Update remove the requirement to disclose the percentage interest in the master trust for plans with divided interests and require that all plans disclose the dollar amount of their interest in each of those general types of investments, which supplements the existing requirement to disclose the master trusts balances in each general type of investments. There are also increased disclosure requirements for investments in master trusts. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. This update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715). The amendments in this Update require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost as defined in paragraphs 715-30-35-4 and 715-60-35-9 are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. This update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20). The amendments in this Update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change

for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations

At March 31, 2017, the Company held 30 securities in an unrealized loss position. The decline in the fair value of these securities resulted primarily from interest rate fluctuations. 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, and the Company believes the collection of the investment and related interest is probable. Based on the above, the Company considers all of the unrealized losses to be temporary impairment losses.

Loans Receivable and Related Allowance for Loan Losses

The following table summarizes the primary segments of the loan portfolio, based on the way management analyzes such loans within the allowance for loan losses, as of March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

	Real Estate Loans

Total loans before allowance for loan losses	$	167,512	$	119,879	$	79,157	$	14,779	$	553	$	381,880

Total loans at March 31, 2017 were net of deferred loan costs of $208,000 and at September 30, 2016 were net of deferred loan costs of $150,000.

The segments of the Bank’s loan portfolio are disaggregated to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. Real estate loans are disaggregated into three segments which include one-to-four family residential (including residential construction loans), commercial real estate (which are primarily first liens) and home equity loans and lines of credit (which are generally second liens). The commercial loan segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of commercial customers. Other loans consist of automobile loans, consumer loans and loans secured by savings accounts. 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.

Management evaluates individual loans in the commercial and commercial real estate loan segments for possible impairment if the loan is in nonaccrual status or is risk rated Substandard, Doubtful or Loss and is greater than 90 days past due. Loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. 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 real estate loans for impairment, unless such loans are part of a larger relationship that is impaired, or are classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). Once the determination has been made that a loan is impaired, the determination of whether a specific allocation of the allowance is necessary is measured 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 method is selected on a loan by loan basis, with management primarily utilizing the fair value of collateral method.

Loans Receivable and Related Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

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 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. To be considered a TDR, the borrower must be experiencing financial difficulties and the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that would not otherwise be considered. The Company did not modify any loans as TDRs during the three or six month periods ended March 31, 2017 or 2016 nor did it have any TDRs within the preceding year where a concession had been made that then defaulted during the three or six month periods ending March 31, 2017 or 2016.

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, 2017 and September 30, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

	Impaired Loans With Allowance				Impaired Loans Without Allowance		Total Impaired Loans

Commercial real estate	$	445	$	790	$	442	$	730
Total impaired loans	$	445	$	790	$	442	$	730

There was no interest income recognized on impaired loans for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential real estate 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 Bank’s commercial loan officers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis. An annual loan review is performed for all commercial real estate and commercial loans for all commercial relationships greater than $500,000. The Bank engages an external consultant to conduct loan reviews on at least an annual basis. Generally, the external consultant reviews commercial relationships greater than $500,000 and all criticized relationships. Loans in the special mention, substandard or doubtful categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the loan loss allowance.

Loans Receivable and Related Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

The loan rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The special mention category includes assets that are currently protected 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 liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than 90 days past due are considered substandard. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets (or portions of assets) classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted and are charged off against the loan loss allowance. The pass category includes all loans not considered special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate pass and the criticized categories of special mention, substandard and doubtful within the internal risk rating system as of March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

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.

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; value of underlying collateral; 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 spreadsheet to track and apply the various components of the allowance.

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.

Stock Based Compensation

In 2012, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The purpose of the 2012 Plan is to provide officers, employees and directors with additional incentives to promote growth and performance of Standard Financial Corp. The 2012 Plan authorizes the granting of options to purchase shares of the Company’s stock, which may be nonqualified stock options or incentive stock options, and restricted stock which is subject to vesting conditions and other restrictions. The 2012 Plan reserved an aggregate number of 486,943 shares of which 347,817 may be issued in connection with the exercise of stock options and 139,126 may be issued as restricted stock.

On July 25, 2012, certain directors and officers of the Company were awarded an aggregate of 278,075 options to purchase shares of common stock and 111,300 restricted shares of common stock. The awards vest over five years at the rate of 20% per year and the stock options have a ten year contractual life from the date of grant. The Company recognizes expense associated with the awards over the five year vesting period. Remaining shares available to be issued under the stock option and restricted stock plans are 69,742 and 27,826, respectively.

The Company’s common stock closed at $16.50 per share on July 25, 2012, which is the exercise price of the options granted on that date. The estimated fair value of the stock options was $423,000, before the impact of income taxes. The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted with an exercise price equal to the market value on July 25, 2012 was $1.52 using the following Black-Scholes option pricing model assumptions: expected life of 7.5 years, expected dividend rate of 1.13%, risk-free interest rate of 1.10% and an expected volatility of 9.5% based on historical results of the stock prices of a bank peer group. Compensation expense on the options was $39,000, with a related tax benefit recorded of $4,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, there was $31,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options which is expected to be recognized ratably over the weighted average remaining service period of 4 months.

The following table summarizes transactions regarding the options under the Plan:

	Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at September 30, 2016		278,075		$	16.50

On July 25, 2012, the date of grant, the fair value of the restricted stock awards was approximately $1.8 million, before the impact of income taxes. Compensation expense on the grants was $183,000, with a related tax benefit recorded of $62,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, there was $105,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested grants which is expected to be recognized ratably over the weighted average remaining service period of 4 months. At March 31, 2017, future compensation related to the grants is expected to be $105,000 in 2017.

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, if 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 $181,000 and $184,000 was recognized during the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Dividends on unallocated shares are not treated as ordinary dividends and are instead used to repay the ESOP loan and recorded as compensation expense.

As of March 31, 2017, the ESOP held a total of 268,455 shares of the Company’s stock, and there were 187,912 unallocated shares. The fair market value of the unallocated ESOP shares was $5.0 million at March 31, 2017.

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 and Mortgage-Backed Securities Available for Sale

Fair values of investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale 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.

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, 2017 and September 30, 2016, 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.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The assumptions used below are expected to approximate those that market participants would use in valuing the following financial instruments.

Loans Receivable and Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of the Company’s loans was estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans were first segregated by type such as commercial, real estate, and home equity, and were then further segmented into fixed and variable rate and loan quality categories. Expected future cash flows were projected based on contractual cash flows, adjusted for estimated prepayments. The fair value of loans held for sale was estimated based on the price committed to sell the loan in the secondary market.

Certificate Deposit Accounts

The fair values of the Company’s certificate deposit accounts were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rates used were based on rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. The fair values of the Company’s certificate deposit accounts do not take into consideration the value of the Company’s long-term relationships with depositors, which may have significant value.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances

The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank advances was calculated using a discounted cash flow approach that applies a comparable FHLB advance rate to the weighted average maturity of the borrowings.

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition approximate fair value for the following financial instruments (Level 1): cash on hand and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other institutions, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, accrued interest receivable, bank-owned life insurance, demand, savings and club accounts, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and accrued interest payable. For short-term financial assets, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization. For financial liabilities such as interest and noninterest-bearing demand, savings and club accounts, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products having no stated maturity. For financial liabilities such as the Company’s securities sold under agreements to repurchase which are with commercial deposit customers, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short time nature of the agreement.

Subsequent Event

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Allegheny Valley Bancorp common stock was converted into the right to receive 2.083 shares of Standard AVB Financial common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the closing date, there were 1,040,923 outstanding shares of Allegheny Valley Bancorp common stock and resulted in a total of 2,168,097 shares of Standard AVB Financial common stock issued for exchange, subject to adjustment for fractional shares. Cash for any fractional shares of Standard AVB Financial common stock was based on $26.60 for each whole share, based on the average closing price of Standard AVB Financial common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the merger date. In addition, each option to purchase Allegheny Valley Bancorp common stock was converted into an option to Standard AVB Financial common stock at the same terms and conditions as were applicable prior to the Holding Company merger, except that the number of shares of Standard AVB Financial common stock issuable upon exercise of a converted option will be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of Allegheny Valley Bancorp common stock subject to the Allegheny Valley Bancorp stock option by 2.083 and the exercise price per share of a converted option will be adjusted by dividing the exercise price per share of the Allegheny Valley Bancorp option by 2.083. Additionally, at the consummation of the Holding Company Merger, each Allegheny Valley Bancorp restricted stock award became fully vested and was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

Management is still in the process of determining the fair value adjustments that will be applied as part of the business combination accounting.

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. The section should be read in conjunction with the notes and unaudited consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere in this report.

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, 2017 have remained unchanged from the disclosures presented in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2016 contained in the Company’s definitive prospectus dated February 1, 2017 (the “Prospectus”) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Securities Act Rule 424(b)(3) on February 3, 2017.

Standard 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 ten 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, 2017 and September 30, 2016

General. The Company’s total assets decreased $2.7 million, or 0.54%, to $492.6 million at March 31, 2017 from $495.2 million at September 30, 2016. The decrease was due primarily to a $5.4 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, a $3.2 million decrease in investment securities available for sale and a $3.0 million decrease in mortgage-backed securities, offset by a $9.8 million increase in net loans receivable. Total liabilities decreased $3.6 million, or 0.85%, to $418.6 million at March 31, 2017 from $422.2 million at September 30, 2016 due to a $4.8 million decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in deposits.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.4 million, or 29.8%, to $12.8 million at March 31, 2017 from $18.2 million at September 30, 2016 due mainly to the use of cash to fund net loan growth.

Loans. At March 31, 2017, net loans were $387.9 million, or 78.8% of total assets compared to $378.1 million, or 76.3% of total assets at September 30, 2016. The $9.8 million, or 2.6%, increase in total loans was primarily due to increases in 1-4 family residential and construction loans of $13.1 million and commercial loans of $4.7 million, offset by decreases in commercial real estate loans of $5.4 million and home equity and lines of credit of $2.5 million.

Investment Securities. Investment securities available for sale decreased $3.2 million to $41.0 million at March 31, 2017 from $44.2 million at September 30, 2016. The decrease primarily resulted from calls and maturities of municipals and government agency bonds totaling $2.9 million. In addition, sales of investment securities were $394,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2017.

Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Company’s mortgage-backed securities available for sale decreased $3.0 million to $16.7 million at March 31, 2017 from $19.7 million at September 30, 2016, primarily due to mainly to repayments of mortgage-backed securities during the six month period.

Deposits. The Company accepts deposits primarily from the areas in which our offices are located. Standard has consistently focused on building broader customer relationships and targeting small business customers to increase our core deposits. We also rely on our customer service to attract and retain deposits. Standard offers a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. Our deposit accounts consist of savings accounts, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, commercial and regular 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 our deposit growth goals. The Company does not accept brokered deposits.

Deposits increased $1.0 million, or 0.27%, to $369.6 million at March 31, 2017 from $368.6 million at September 30, 2016. The increase resulted primarily from a $5.0 million, or 3.7%, increase in certificate of deposit accounts, partially offset by a $4.0 million, or 1.7%, decrease in demand and savings accounts during the six months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in certificate of deposit accounts was due primarily to deposit inflows into our three-year flexible rate product. As interest rates have increased, customer demand has shifted to longer-term certificates of deposit.

Borrowings. Our borrowings consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and funds borrowed under repurchase agreements. Total borrowings decreased $4.2 million, or 8.3%, to $46.6 million at March 31, 2017 from $50.8 million at September 30, 2016. The decrease was due primarily to repayment of maturing Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $4.8 million.

Table of Contents

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $933,000 or 1.3%, to $73.9 million at March 31, 2017 from $73.0 million at September 30, 2016. The increase was due primarily to net income of $1.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and the exercise of stock options valued at $496,000, partially offset by dividends paid as of the six months ended March 31, 2017 of $528,000.

Average Balance and Yields

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were 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, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Table of Contents

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

General. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $563,000 compared to $902,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $339,000, or 37.6%. The decrease was primarily due to merger related expenses of $252,000 and higher noninterest expenses of $172,000, or 6.7% and lower noninterest income of $160,000 or 22.4%. Partially offsetting these items were higher net interest income of $111,000 and lower income tax expense of $134,000, or 33.0%.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $3.3 million compared to $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Our net interest rate spread and net interest margin were 2.75% and 2.87%, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets was offset by a decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income increased by $110,000, or 2.8%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets, partially offset by a decline in the average yield on interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets increased to $453.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $438.2 million for the same period in 2016. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 3.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 3.66% for the same period in the prior year.

Interest income on loans increased $159,000, or 4.4%, to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The average yield on loans receivable decreased to 3.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 4.00% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in average yield was primarily attributable to the origination of new loans in a generally lower interest rate environment and repayment/refinance of higher rate loans. Average loans receivable increased by $30.0 million, or 8.3%, to $390.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $360.3 million for the same period in the prior year due mainly to an increase in originations of one-to-four family residential and commercial real estate loans.

Interest income on investment and mortgage-backed securities decreased by $48,000, or 12.3%, to $341,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $389,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due to a decline in the average balance of investment and mortgage backed securities of $4.5 million or 7.1% to $58.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the prior period due to calls and maturities of municipals and government agency bonds. In addition, the average yield earned on investments and mortgage-backed securities declined to 2.32% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 2.46% for the same period in the prior year.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased by $1,000, or 0.12%, to $860,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $861,000 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 0.88% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 0.91% for the same prior year period, offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $10.7 million, or 2.8%, to $389.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $378.8 million for the same period in the prior year.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $27,000, or 4.2%, to $666,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $639,000 for the same period in the prior year. The average balance of deposits increased $23.2 million or 7.3% for the six months ended March, 31, 2017, compared to the prior period. The increase is due to net inflows in certificates of deposits as customer preferences from short-term deposits to longer term certificates shifted, and an increase in money market accounts due to a deposit relationship established with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The average cost of deposits declined from 0.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to 0.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, due primarily to higher yielding, maturing certificates of deposit being replaced by lower yielding certificate products.

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $28,000, or 12.7%, to $193,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $221,000 for the same period in the prior year. The average balance of advances decreased $12.7 million, or 21.4%, to $46.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year due to repayment of maturing advances. The average cost of advances increased to 1.65% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 from 1.48% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 lower rate advances matured and were repaid.

Provision for Loan Losses. No provision for loan losses were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Non-performing loans at March 31, 2017 were $1.1 million or 0.27% of total loans, $1.1 million or 0.28% of total loans at September 30, 2016 and $1.5 million or 0.43% of total loans at March 31, 2016. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 355.3% at March 31, 2017 compared to 245.7% at March 31, 2016. In management’s judgment, the allowance for loan losses is at a sufficient level that reflects the losses inherent in our loan portfolio relative to loan mix, economic conditions and historical loss experience. See “Non-Performing and Problem Assets” for additional information.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $160,000, or 22.4%, to $555,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $715,000 for the same period in 2016. The decrease was due mainly to lower net gains on sales of securities.

Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expenses increased by $424,000, or 16.6%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to merger-related expenses of $252,000. In addition, compensation and employee benefits increased $98,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to settlement of distributions from the frozen defined benefit pension plan. Other operating expenses increased $62,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period due to a $35,000 deductible paid on an insurance claim and general cost increases.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded a provision for income tax of $272,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $406,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The effective tax rate was 32.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 31.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in income tax expense was due primarily to the lower level of taxable income. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to a lower level of nontaxable income and certain nondeductible merger expenses.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

General. Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2017 was $1.1 million compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $645,000, or 36.5%. The decrease was primarily due to merger-related expenses of $559,000 and higher noninterest expenses of $201,000, or 3.9% and lower noninterest income of $112,000 or 8.2%. Partially offsetting these items were higher net interest income of $155,000 or 2.5% and lower income tax expense of $112,000, or 14.40%.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the six months ended March 31, 2017 was $6.5 million compared to $6.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016. The increase is due primarily to an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets. Our net interest rate spread and net interest margin were 2.73% and 2.85%, respectively for the six months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 2.78% and 2.91% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the net interest rate spread was the result of the yield on interest-earning assets declining more rapidly than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income increased by $201,000, or 2.5%, to $8.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year. Average interest-earning assets increased to $453.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from $434.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 3.62% for the six months ended March 31, 2017 from 3.69% for the same period in the prior year.

Interest income on loans increased $333,000, or 4.7%, to $7.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average balance of loans receivable increased $28.7 million or 8.0%, to $386.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017, from $357.5 million for the same period in the prior year due mainly to an increase in originations of one-to-four family residential and commercial real estate loans. The average yield on loans receivable decreased to 3.88% for the six months ended March 31, 2017 from 4.00% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in average yield was primarily attributable to our variable rate loans adjusting downward as prime and short-term interest rates remained low as well as the origination of new loans in a generally lower interest rate environment and repayment/refinance of higher rate loans.

Interest income on investment and mortgage-backed securities decreased by $140,000, or 16.6%, to $702,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2017 from $842,000 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due in part to a decrease in the average yield earned on investments and mortgage-backed securities to 2.32% for the six months ended March 31, 2017 from 2.54% for the same period in the prior year due to calls and maturities of higher yielding municipal and government agency bonds. Additionally, the average balance of investment and mortgage-backed securities decreased by $5.6 million or 8.5%, to $60.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from $66.2 million for the same period in the prior year.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased by $46,000, or 2.7%, to $1.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $19.9 million, or 5.4%, to $391.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 from $371.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.89% for the six months ended March 31, 2017 from 0.91% for the same prior year period.

Interest expense on deposits increased $77,000, or 6.1%, to $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 from $1.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The average balance of deposits increased $31.2 million, or 10.0% to $341.6 million for the six months ended March, 31, 2017, compared to $310.4 million for the prior period. The increase is due to net inflows in certificates of deposits as customer preferences from short-term deposits to longer term certificates shifted, an increase

in money market accounts due to a deposit relationship established with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and an increase in demand and NOW accounts. The average cost of deposits declined from 0.82% for the six months ended March 31, 2016 to 0.79% for the six months ended March 31, 2017, due primarily to higher yielding, maturing certificates of deposit being replaced by lower yielding certificate products.

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $31,000, or 7.3%, to $394,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2017 from $425,000 for the same period in the prior year. The average balance of advances decreased $11.6 million, or 19.5%, to $47.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $59.1 million for the prior period. The average cost of advances increased to 1.65% for the six months ended March 31, 2017 from 1.44% for the six months ended March 31, 2016 as lower rate advances matured and were repaid.

Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses of $40,000 was recorded for the six months ended March 31, 2017 compared to no provision for the same period in the prior year due in part to an increased balance of loans outstanding. Non-performing loans at March 31, 2017 were $1.1 million or 0.27% of total loans, $1.0 million or 0.28% of total loans at September 30, 2016 and $1.5 million or 0.43% of total loans at March 31, 2016. The provision that was recorded was sufficient, in management’s judgment, to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level that reflects the losses inherent in our loan portfolio relative to loan mix, economic conditions and historical loss experience. See “Non-Performing and Problem Assets” for additional information.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $112,000, or 8.2%, to $1.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 from $1.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due mainly to lower net gains on sales securities of $113,000.

Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expenses increased by $760,000, or 14.8%, to $5.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to merger related expenses of $559,000. In addition, compensation and employee benefits increased $25,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to settlement of distributions from the frozen defined benefit pension plan of $105,000, partially offset by lower compensation and employee benefit costs. Other operating expenses increased $161,000, or 23.0%, for the six months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year. The primary reasons for the increase in other operating expenses were higher expenses relating to foreclosed real estate properties compared to the prior year, gains recognized on the final disposition of the real estate owned properties in the prior year period, and a $35,000 deductible paid on an insurance claim.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded a provision for income tax of $666,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $778,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2016. The effective tax rate was 37.2% for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 30.6% for the six months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in income tax expense was due primarily to the lower level of taxable income. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to a lower level of nontaxable income and certain nondeductible merger-expenses.

Non-Performing and Problem Assets

There were no loans in arrears 90 days or more and still accruing interest at March 31, 2017. Loans in arrears 90 days or more or in process of foreclosure (non-accrual loans) were as follows:

					Percentage of
	Number of Loans		Amount		Loans Receivable
	(Dollars in thousands)

March 31, 2017		9	$	635		0.16	%
September 30, 2016		13		689		0.18

At March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company had impaired loans totaling $427,000 and $467,000, respectively. The largest impaired loan was a commercial real estate secured loan with a balance of $327,000 and $367,000 at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Although not over 90 days delinquent at March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the loan was considered impaired based on the recent delinquency issues and an analysis of the borrower’s financial performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and sales, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, repurchase agreements and maturities,

Table of Contents

principal repayments and the sale 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 interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee, under the direction of our Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. At March 31, 2017 the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $12.8 million. We believe that we have enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of March 31, 2017.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2017 totaled $22.0 million, or 6.0% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we may be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan and securities sales, repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Standard believes, however, based on historical experience and current market interest rates, it will retain upon maturity a large portion of its certificates of deposit with maturities of one year or less.The maximum borrowing capacity at the FHLB at March 31, 2017 was $214.3 million.

Our stockholder’s equity amounted to $73.9 million at March 31, 2017, an increase of $933,000 or 1.3% from $73.0 million at September 30, 2016. Contributing to the increase was net income of $1.1 million, amortization of stock awards and options under our stock compensation plans of $222,000 and common stock earned by participants in the employees stock ownership plan of $181,000. These increases were partially offset by an increase in other comprehensive loss of $560,000 and dividends paid of $528,000.

Current regulatory requirements specify that the Bank and similar institutions must maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet tier leverage, common equity tier 1 capital, 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, 2017, Standard Bank was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements ratios of 13.00%, 20.04%, 20.04% and 21.27%, respectively, and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are 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 our 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 we make. At March 31, 2017, Standard had $53.5 million in loan commitments outstanding, $25.4 million of which were for commercial real estate loans and $3.3 of which were for one- to four-family loans. In addition to commitments to originate loans, Standard had $14.3 million in unused lines of credit to borrowers and $4.4 million in undisbursed funds for construction loans in process. Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2017 totalled $22.0 million, or 6.0% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with Standard, Standard may be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan and securities sales, repurchase agreements and FHLB advances. Standard believes, however, based on historical experience and current market interest rates, it will retain upon maturity a large portion of its certificates of deposit with maturities of one year or less.

Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.
