Plain-text annual report

Two Thousand Sixteen Annual Report 2016 First Northwest Bancorp Message to Our Shareholders 2016 Annual Report – Message to Shareholders Larry Hueth, President and CEO Stephen Oliver, Board Chairman Message to our Shareholders Fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 represents the completion of our first full fiscal year as a public company. We are proud of the continued progress we have made in successfully deploying the capital raised in the conversion, our geographic diversification, earnings improvements and the development of robust reporting, internal controls, and risk management programs that are required as a public company. We see exciting opportunities to invest in, and build our banking platform to meet the needs of the communities we serve. Financial Performance The company had a profit of $4.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 compared to a loss of $5.1 million for the previous year. The previous year’s loss was attributed to the costs associated with funding the First Federal Community Foundation as part of our conversion. Excluding the one-time foundation costs, the company would have reported net income of $3.3 million* for fiscal year 2015. Through the dedicated efforts of our entire team of banking professionals, we delivered another year of strong growth. Total assets at June 30, 2016, exceeded $1.0 billion, growing $73.3 million or 7.8% from $936.8 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. Loans outstanding increased by $132.0 million or 27.0% while deposits increased $76.1 million or 11.8% from the prior year. We are very pleased with the performance of our two newest branches and the contributions those new communities make to increasing our shareholder value. The Silverdale branch opened in June 2014 and had deposits totaling $34.5 million at June 30, 2016. Our Bellingham branch opened in November 2015 and had deposits of $17.7 million at June 30, 2016. Our capital ratios continue to substantially exceed the regulatory requirement for a well-capitalized financial institution. While we plan to deploy some of this capital through organic growth opportunities, the board and management are reviewing other methods to manage capital and enhance shareholder value. Community Support and Development First Northwest Bancorp continues our proud tradition of connecting with our local communities by supporting numerous organizations across our market area through monetary donations and volunteerism. Our community involvement, innovative products, responsive customer services and flexibility contribute to the growth and success of the communities we serve. The Future Our focus in 2017 will be to continue to grow our franchise, expanding our footprint into markets that will provide for both loan and deposit growth. We also plan to invest in technology, compliance and risk management, and personnel. By executing on these and other strategies, our intent is to continue to improve earnings and shareholder value. Sincerely, Stephen Oliver Chairman, Board of Directors Larry Hueth President and Chief Executive Officer *This is a non-GAAP measure calculated by taking the net loss of $5.1 million calculated on a GAAP basis and adding back the charitable contribution, net of tax, of $8.3 million to arrive at net income of $3.3 million. Differences may occur due to rounding. Total Assets as of June 30 Dollars in millions $1,010.1 $936.8 $795.3 $784.5 Total Shareholders’ Equity as of June 30 Dollars in millions $190.7 $189.7 2013 2014 2015 2016 $81.0 $78.6 Total Loans, Net. as of June 30 Dollars in millions $496.2 $487.9 $449.4 $619.8 2013 2014 2015 2016 Net Income (Loss) as of June 30 Dollars in thousands $3,992 $2,668 $2,318 2013 2014 2015 2016 ($5,090) 2013 2014 2015 2016 Total Deposits Dollars in millions $723.3 $600.4 $595.0 $647.2 2013 2014 2015 2016 Financial Highlights The graphs above present selected financial information concerning the consolidated financial position and results of operations of First Northwest Bancorp (“Company”) at and for the dates indicated.

Throughout our new and existing markets, we have seasoned employees, strong leadership and board representation. Technology The Interactive Teller Machine (ITM) was introduced in our Business Solutions Center and newest market areas and enhances our mission to provide alternative banking choices for our current and future customers with extended hours. Apple Pay is proving to be a valuable and convenient option for our customers, offering them a safer and more private way to pay for purchases. Awards, Recognition and Memberships First Northwest Bancorp was added as a member of the broad-market Russell 3000® Index and the prestigious American Bankers Association (ABA) NASDAQ Community Bank Index. The Russell 3000® Index is a global index leader and data provider that provides innovative benchmarking, analytics and data solutions for investors worldwide. The ABA NASDAQ Community Bank Index is the nation’s most broadly represented stock index for community banks. First Federal was presented the 2015 Corporations for Communities award by Secretary of State Kim Wyman, which honors exceptional Washington businesses that make helping the community a priority. First Federal was voted “Best Place to Bank” (the 20th consecutive year in Clallam County), “Best Customer Service” and “Best Financial Advisor” in Clallam and Jefferson counties in the Peninsula Daily News, “Best of Peninsula” poll. Community Giving and Support During this fiscal year, First Federal supported over 150 organizations and events in our communities through monetary and in-kind donations and volunteer participation. We are proud that our efforts have had a positive impact in the following areas: Economic and Business Development, Impact on Community, Neighborhood Giving, Education/Youth, and programs associated with the Community Reinvestment Act (meeting the credit needs of our communities in low and moderate income neighborhoods). On January 29, 2015, First Federal converted from a mutual to stock savings bank and formed First Northwest Bancorp as its holding company. In connection with the conversion a private foundation was established to continue First Federal’s 93-year history of giving back to the communities it serves. With a gift of cash and stock valued at $12 million from First Northwest Bancorp, the Foundation received the funding it needed to ensure it would have a meaningful impact on the communities we serve. Since that time, the First Federal Community Foundation has awarded $1,041,800 in grants to recipients located in the com- munities in which First Federal operates a full service branch – currently Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap and Whatcom counties in the state of Washington. The Foundation’s awards target four key priorities: Community Support; Affordable Housing; Economic Development; and Community Development. First Federal has enthusiastically embraced its new Foundation and integrated it throughout the Bank’s operations. Although a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation, the Foundation’s board and officers include members of the Bank’s board and executive team. Volunteers from the Bank also serve on the Foundation’s Advisory Committee. With encouragement from its board and executives, the Bank’s employees interact regularly with the Foundation, promoting its benefits within their com- munities and participating in Foundation events.

Business General First Northwest Bancorp ("First Northwest" or the "Company"), a Washington corporation, was formed for the purpose of becoming the bank holding company for First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles ("First Federal" or the "Bank") in connection with the Bank's conversion from the mutual to stock form of ownership, which was completed on January 29, 2015. At June 30, 2016, we had total assets of $1.0 billion, total deposits of $723.3 million, and total shareholders' equity of $189.7 million. The Company's business activities are generally limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in First Federal. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including consolidated financial statements and related data, relates primarily to First Federal. First Northwest is a bank holding company and is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”). First Federal is examined and regulated by the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks (“DFI”) and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). First Federal is required to have certain reserves set by the Federal Reserve and is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (“FHLB” or “FHLB of Des Moines”), which is one of the 11 regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System (“FHLB System”). First Federal is a community-oriented financial institution primarily serving the North Olympic Peninsula region of Washington. We have ten full-service banking offices, including a new full-service banking office that was opened during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 in Bellingham, Washington, which is located in Whatcom County. In addition, we anticipate opening a second full-service location in Bellingham, Washington and a Home Lending Center in Seattle, Washington during the first half of fiscal 2017. We offer a wide range of products and services focused on the lending and depository needs of the communities we serve. Historically, lending activities have been primarily directed toward the origination of first lien one- to four-family mortgage loans, and, to a lesser extent, commercial and multi-family real estate loans, construction and land loans (including lot loans), commercial business loans, and consumer loans, consisting primarily of automobile loans and home equity loans and lines of credit. During the past decade, recognizing our need to adapt to changing market conditions, we have revised our operating strategy to diversify our loan portfolio, expand our deposit product offerings and enhance our infrastructure. We have increased our originations of commercial real estate and multi-family real estate loans and are focused on increasing originations of one- to four-family residential loans held for sale. We have historically offered traditional consumer and business deposit products, including transaction accounts, savings and money market accounts and certificates of deposit for individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations. Deposits are our primary source of funds for our lending and investing activities. The executive office of the Company is located at 105 West 8th Street, Port Angeles, Washington 98362, and its telephone number is (360) 457-0461.

Our business plan includes the intent to extend our operations further into the Puget Sound Region of Washington. The Puget Sound region dominates the economy of the Pacific Northwest and is broadly defined as the area surrounding the inlet of the Pacific Ocean that extends into the northwestern section of the state of Washington. The population of this additional region (beyond our current market area) approximates 4.2 million, or 58.6% of the state's population. The market area is a mix of urban, suburban and rural areas, with the Seattle metropolitan area harboring a well-developed urban area along the eastern portion of Puget Sound. The region extends from Whatcom County in the north on the Canadian border to Thurston and Pierce counties to the south. Other key metropolitan areas within the Puget Sound region include Bellingham (Whatcom County), Burlington (Skagit County), Everett (Snohomish County), Tacoma (Pierce County) and Olympia, the state capital (Thurston County). Key employment sectors include aerospace, military, information technology, clean technology, biotechnology, education, logistics, international trade and tourism. The region is well known for the long-term presence of The Boeing Corporation and Microsoft, two major industry leaders. The military presence includes a number of large installations serving the U.S. Air Force, Army and Navy. Given the employment profile, the region's workforce is generally highly educated. Washington's geographic proximity to the Pacific Rim along with a deep water port has made it a center for international trade as well, which contributes significantly to the regional 7 economy (one in three jobs in Washington is tied to foreign exports). The Washington ports make Washington the fourth largest exporting state in the nation, and the top five trading partners with Washington include China, Mexico, Canada, Japan and Korea. Tourism has also developed into a major industry for the area, due to the scenic beauty, temperate climate, and easy accessibility. Maritime industry employment, supported by the trade and fishing industries, is also an important employment sector. The regional economy has had a historical dependence on the aerospace industry, which has had periods of strong growth as well as reductions in activity. Over the past few years, growth rates have been steady and long- term growth trends are favorable as the market area continues to maintain a highly educated and motivated workforce, and the Puget Sound region remains a desirable place to live. In the most recent periods, similar to national trends, most of the Puget Sound region has largely recovered from the prior issues related to home value declines, foreclosure rates, and other real estate related problems that were a result of the national recession of 2007-2009. For a discussion regarding the competition in our primary market area, see “Competition.” Lending Activities General. First Federal’s principal lending activities are concentrated in first lien one- to four-family mortgage loans and commercial and multi-family real estate loans. First Federal also makes construction and land loans (including lot loans), commercial business loans, and consumer loans, consisting primarily of automobile loans and home-equity loans and lines of credit. A substantial portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real estate, either as primary or secondary collateral. 8 Loan Portfolio Analysis The following table represents information concerning the composition of our loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, by the type of loan at the dates indicated: 2016 2015 June 30, 2014 2013 2012 Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent (Dollars in thousands) Real estate: One- to four-family $ 308,471 49.3% $ 256,696 52.0% $ 241,910 48.0% $ 247,772 54.2% $ 215,243 52.6% Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Total real estate loans Consumer: Home equity Other consumer Total consumer loans 9 Commercial business loans 46,125 161,182 50,351 566,129 33,909 9,023 42,932 16,924 7.4 25.7 8.0 90.4 5.4 1.5 6.9 2.7 33,086 125,623 19,127 434,532 36,387 8,198 44,585 14,764 6.7 25.4 3.8 87.9 7.4 1.7 9.1 3.0 45,100 128,028 20,497 435,535 40,064 10,697 50,761 17,532 8.9 25.4 4.1 86.4 8.0 2.1 10.1 3.5 27,928 93,056 15,493 384,249 42,497 13,029 55,526 17,746 6.1 20.3 3.4 84.0 9.3 2.8 12.1 3.9 17,175 79,965 22,689 335,072 51,155 11,083 62,238 12,259 4.2 19.5 5.6 81.9 12.4 2.7 15.1 3.0 Total loans 625,985 100.0% 493,881 100.0% 503,828 100.0% 457,521 100.0% 409,569 100.0% Less: Net deferred loan fees (Premium) discount on purchased loans, net Allowance for loan losses 1,182 (2,280) 7,239 840 (1,957) 7,111 862 (1,290) 8,072 622 (428) 7,974 563 957 7,390 Total loans, net $ 619,844 $ 487,887 $ 496,184 $ 449,353 $ 400,659 Fixed-Rate and Adjustable-Rate Loans The following table shows the composition of our loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, in dollar amounts and in percentages by fixed rates and adjustable rates at the dates indicated: 1 0 Fixed-rate loans: Real estate: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Total real estate loans Consumer: Home equity Other consumer Total consumer loans Commercial business loans Total fixed-rate loans Adjustable-rate loans: Real estate: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Total real estate loans Consumer: Home equity Other consumer Total consumer loans Commercial business loans Total adjustable-rate loans Total loans Less: Net deferred loan fees (Premium) discount on purchased loans, net Allowance for loan losses Total loans, net 2016 2015 June 30, 2014 2013 2012 Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent (Dollars in thousands) $ 198,984 31.8% $ 182,299 36.8% $ 172,801 34.3% $ 187,870 41.1% $ 160,567 39.2% 1.6 7.5 2.9 48.8 1.8 1.4 3.2 1.2 53.2 15.1 5.1 18.0 1.0 39.2 5.6 0.2 5.8 1.8 46.8 9,596 46,082 17,399 272,061 8,845 7,991 16,836 6,607 295,504 109,487 36,529 115,100 32,952 294,068 25,064 1,032 26,096 10,317 330,481 1.5 7.4 2.7 43.4 1.4 1.3 2.7 1.1 47.2 17.5 5.8 18.4 5.3 47.0 4.0 0.2 4.2 1.6 52.8 625,985 100.0% 1,182 (2,280) 7,239 7,979 36,880 14,132 241,290 8,741 6,986 15,727 5,900 262,917 74,397 25,107 88,743 4,995 193,242 27,646 1,212 28,858 8,864 230,964 493,881 840 (1,957) 7,111 2,281 46,199 12,575 233,856 10,085 9,247 19,332 8,547 0.5 9.1 2.5 46.4 2.0 1.8 3.8 1.7 2,291 43,226 14,153 247,540 10,367 11,345 21,712 13,112 0.5 9.4 3.1 54.1 2.3 2.4 4.7 2.9 3,630 46,823 17,444 228,464 12,412 9,198 21,610 5,873 0.9 11.4 4.3 55.8 3.0 2.2 5.2 1.4 261,735 51.9 282,364 61.7 255,947 62.4 69,109 42,819 81,829 7,922 201,679 29,979 1,450 31,429 8,985 13.7 8.5 16.2 1.6 40.0 6.0 0.3 6.3 1.8 59,902 25,637 49,830 1,340 136,709 32,130 1,684 33,814 4,634 13.1 5.6 10.9 0.3 29.9 7.0 0.4 7.4 1.0 54,676 13,545 33,142 5,245 13.3 3.3 8.1 1.3 106,608 26.0 38,743 1,885 40,628 6,386 9.5 0.5 10.0 1.6 37.6 242,093 48.1 175,157 38.3 153,622 100.0% 503,828 100.0% 457,521 100.0% 409,569 100.0% 862 (1,290) 8,072 622 (428) 7,974 563 957 7,390 $ 619,844 $ 487,887 $ 496,184 $ 449,353 $ 400,659 Loan Maturity The following table illustrates the contractual maturity of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2016.

At June 30, 2016, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans (excluding loans held for sale) totaled $308.5 million, or 49.3%, of our gross loan portfolio, including $52.2 million, or 16.9%, of loans secured by properties outside the state of Washington, primarily in the states of California, Ohio, and Oregon. We originate both fixed and adjustable-rate loans, which can be sold in the secondary market or retained in our residential portfolio, and supplement our originations with bulk loan purchases from time to time, depending on our balance sheet objectives. Residential loans are underwritten to secondary market standards or to other acceptable underwriting standards, which may not meet all of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") and Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") eligibility requirements. Fixed-rate residential mortgages are offered with repayment terms between 10 and 30 years, and we use Freddie Mac posted daily pricing, as well as other economic considerations, to establish pricing for our residential mortgage loans. Adjustable-rate residential mortgage products with similar amortization terms are also offered; however, the interest rate is typically fixed for an initial period. For example, the interest rate and payment will remain fixed between one to seven years with annual adjustments thereafter. Future interest rate adjustments are usually limited to increases or decreases of no more than 2% per adjustment and carry a typical lifetime cap of 5% to 6% above the initial interest rate, with no borrower prepayment restrictions. Currently, we are retaining adjustable- rate mortgages that we originate in our portfolio. Borrower demand for adjustable-rate mortgage loans typically increases when borrowers expect lower mortgage rates in the future. Adjustable-rate mortgage loans could increase credit risk because as interest rates rise, the borrower’s payments rise, increasing the potential for default. In addition, adjustable-rate mortgages may be offered with an initial discounted rate, which may be less than the fully indexed rate and lower than comparable fixed-rate loans, which could also contribute to a higher risk of delinquency, default and foreclosure when the interest rate and payment on the loan adjusts. To mitigate and balance this risk for both the borrower and First Federal, these loans usually contain both periodic and lifetime interest rate caps that limit the amount of payment changes. In addition, depending on market conditions, we may underwrite the borrower at a higher interest rate and payment amount than the initial discount rate. We do not offer adjustable-rate mortgages with deep discount teaser rates. At June 30, 2016, the average interest rate on our adjustable-rate mortgage loans was approximately 2.5% under the fully indexed rate. As of June 30, 2016, we had $109.5 million, or 17.5%, of adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans in our residential loan portfolio. Residential loans are evaluated at the time they are originated using underwriting criteria that meet the Freddie Mac Loan Prospector guidelines, other than loans guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, which we began originating in July 2013. This underwriting process considers a variety of factors including, but not limited to, credit history, debt to income ratios, property type, loan to value ratio, and occupancy. For loans with over 80% loan to value ratios, we typically require private mortgage insurance, which reduces our loan to value risk exposure in the event of a default on the loan and liquidation of the collateral for repayment. Other tools we use to reduce credit risk include, but are not limited to, title insurance, hazard insurance and flood insurance as required under current regulations. Residential mortgage loans which require appraisals are appraised by independent fee appraisers approved by First Federal who submit documentation to First Federal in order to complete a formal review in conjunction with the loan approval. In connection with the new rules issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB"), which includes a definition for “qualified mortgage” loans based on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, we believe that generally all of the mortgage loans approved by First Federal meet this standard. First Federal does not actively engage in subprime lending, either through advertising, marketing, underwriting and/or risk selection, and has no established program to originate or purchase subprime loans to be held in its portfolio. Commercial and Multi-Family Real Estate Lending. At June 30, 2016, $161.2 million, or 25.7%, and $46.1 million, or 7.4%, of our total loan portfolio was secured by commercial and multi-family real estate property, respectively. At June 30, 2016, we have identified $35.8 million of our commercial real estate portfolio as owner- occupied commercial real estate, which includes properties used for the following purposes: vehicle dealerships of $9.4 million, health care of $7.9 million, manufacturing of $3.4 million, retail of $2.4 million, office buildings of $2.3 million and all other categories of $10.4 million. The remaining $171.5 million is secured by income producing, or non-owner-occupied, commercial real estate, which includes properties used for the following purposes: multi-family of $46.1 million, retail of $42.6 million, hospitality of $19.3 million, self-storage of $15.1 million, health care of $13.8 million, warehouse of $12.9 million, office buildings of $12.5 million, and all other 13 categories of $9.1 million. Substantially all of our commercial real estate and multi-family loans are primarily secured by properties located in Washington State. These loans are generally priced at a higher rate of interest than one- to four-family residential loans, as these loans have higher loan balances, are more difficult to evaluate and monitor, and involve a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential loans. Repayment on loans secured by commercial or multi-family properties is dependent on successful management or utilization of the land and improvements by the property owner to create gross revenues and sufficient net operating income to meet the debt service requirements and provide a return to the owner. Changes in economic and real estate market conditions can affect net operating income, capitalization rates, and ultimately the valuation and marketability of the collateral. As a result, we analyze market data including, but not limited to, vacancy rates, absorption percentages, leasing rates, and competing projects under development. Interest rate, occupancy and capitalization rate stress testing are required as part of our underwriting analysis. If the borrower is a corporation, we generally require and obtain personal guarantees from the corporate principals, which include underwriting of their personal financial statements, tax returns, cash flows and individual credit reports, which provides us with additional support and a secondary source for repayment of the debt. We offer both fixed- and adjustable-rate loans on commercial and multi-family real estate, which may include balloon loans. As of June 30, 2016, we had $115.1 million in adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans and $36.5 million in adjustable-rate multi-family loans. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans with adjustable rates generally adjust after an initial period of three to five years. These loans generally have maturity dates between three and 10 years. Amortization terms are generally limited to terms up to 25 years on commercial real estate loans and up to 30 years on multi-family loans. Adjustable-rate multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans are generally priced to market indices with appropriate margins, which may include the U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury Rate, LIBOR, The Wall Street Journal prime rate, or other acceptable index. Substantially all adjustable-rate commercial and multi-family real estate loans are subject to a floor rate, and the weighted average floor rate on these loans was 4.14% at June 30, 2016. Of all of the adjustable-rate commercial loans, 65% are subject to a ceiling rate, and the weighted average ceiling rate on those loans was 4.78% at June 30, 2016. The maximum loan to value ratio for commercial and multi-family real estate loans is typically limited to 75% of the appraiser opinion of market value or determined by the income to debt service ratio, which is 1.20x for non-owner-occupied and owner-occupied properties. In addition, aggregate debt service ratios, including the guarantor’s cash flow and the borrower’s other projects, are required by policy to have a minimum income to debt service ratio of 1.20x. We require independent appraisals or evaluations on all loans secured by commercial real estate from an approved appraisers list. We require most of our commercial and multi-family real estate loan borrowers to submit annual financial statements and/or rent rolls on the subject property. These properties may also be subject to annual inspections with pictures to support that appropriate maintenance is being performed by the owner/borrower. All commercial real estate loans over $750,000 are reviewed at least annually along with each commercial real estate borrower and, as applicable, each guarantor. The loan and its borrowers and/or guarantors are subject to an annual risk certification verifying that the loan is properly risk rated based upon covenant compliance and other terms as provided for in the loan agreements. While this process does not prevent loans from becoming delinquent, it does provide us with the opportunity to better identify problem loans in a timely manner and to work with the borrower prior to the loan becoming delinquent. 14 The following table provides information on multi-family and commercial real estate loans by type at the dates indicated: 2016 Amount Percent June 30, 2015 Amount Percent (Dollars in thousands) 2014 Amount Percent $ 46,125 42,637 19,293 15,086 12,940 13,837 12,510 9,080 22.3% $ 20.6 9.3 7.3 6.2 6.7 6.0 4.4 33,086 38,604 19,837 6,504 — 11,568 1,568 6,537 20.9% $ 24.3 12.5 4.1 — 7.3 1.0 4.1 45,100 46,197 21,289 6,698 — — 2,379 7,846 26.0% 26.7 12.3 3.9 — — 1.4 4.5 Non-owner occupied Multi-family Retail Hospitality Self-storage Warehouse Health care Office building Other non-owner occupied Total non-owner occupied 171,508 82.8 117,704 74.2 129,509 74.8 Owner occupied Vehicle dealership Health care Manufacturing Retail Office building Other owner-occupied 9,424 7,925 3,387 2,396 2,271 10,396 4.5 3.8 1.6 1.2 1.1 5.0 Total owner occupied 35,799 17.2 Summary by type Multi-family Retail Hospitality Self-storage Warehouse Health care Office building Vehicle dealership Manufacturing Other non-owner occupied Other owner-occupied Total multi-family and commercial real estate 46,125 45,033 19,293 15,086 12,940 21,762 14,781 9,424 3,387 9,080 10,396 22.3 21.8 9.3 7.3 6.2 10.5 7.1 4.5 1.6 4.4 5.0 — 13,236 1,219 3,922 2,616 20,012 41,005 33,086 42,526 19,837 6,504 — 24,804 4,184 — 1,219 6,537 — 8.3 0.8 2.5 1.6 12.6 25.8 20.9 26.8 12.5 4.1 — 15.6 2.6 — 0.8 4.1 20,012 12.6 — 13,995 2,813 13,181 2,600 11,030 — 8.1 1.6 7.6 1.5 6.4 43,619 25.2 45,100 59,378 21,289 6,698 — 13,995 4,979 — 2,813 7,846 11,030 26.0 34.3 12.3 3.9 — 8.1 2.9 — 1.6 4.5 6.4 $ 207,307 100.0% $ 158,709 100.0% $ 173,128 100.0% If we foreclose on a multi-family or commercial real estate loan, the marketing and liquidation period to convert the real estate asset to cash can be a lengthy process with substantial holding costs. In addition, vacancies, deferred maintenance, repairs and market stigma can result in prospective buyers expecting sale price concessions to offset their real or perceived economic losses for the time it takes them to return the property to profitability. Depending on the individual circumstances, initial charge-offs and subsequent losses on commercial real estate loans can be unpredictable and substantial. The average outstanding loan size in our commercial real estate portfolio was $870,000 as of June 30, 2016. We generally target individual commercial real estate loans between $250,000 and $10.0 million to small and mid-size owners and investors in our market areas as well as other parts of Washington. We will also make commercial real estate loans in other states if we have a pre-existing relationship with the borrower. 15 Our three largest commercial and multi-family borrowing relationships at June 30, 2016 consisted of a $12.7 million relationship secured primarily by a warehouse in King County, an $11.9 million relationship secured by a hotel in King County, and an $11.5 million relationship secured primarily by self-storage facilities located in King, Pierce, and Thurston counties. Construction and Land Lending. Our construction and land loans increased $31.2 million, or 163.2%, to $50.4 million, or 8.0%, of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2016 compared to $19.1 million at June 30, 2015. This increase over the past year reflects our strategic decision to focus on increasing construction loan origination activity as real estate values and general economic conditions in our market areas continued to improve. First Federal offers an “all-in-one” residential adjustable-rate custom construction loan product, which upon completion of the construction phase may be placed in our loan portfolio. We also originate construction loans for certain commercial real estate projects. These projects include, but are not limited to, subdivisions, multi-family, retail, office/warehouse, hotel, and office buildings. Underwriting criteria on these loans include, but are not limited to, minimum debt service coverage requirements of 1.20x or better, loan to value limitations, pre-leasing requirements, construction cost over-run contingency reserves, interest and absorption period reserves, occupancy, capitalization rates and interest rate stress testing, as well as other underwriting criteria. Construction loan applications require the borrower to provide architectural and working plans, a material specifications list, detailed cost breakdown and a construction contract. Construction loan advances are based on progress payments for “work in place” based on detailed line item construction budgets. Independent construction inspectors are used to evaluate the construction draw request relative to the progress and “work in place.” Our construction administrator reviews all construction projects, inspection reports and construction loan advance requests to ensure they are appropriate and in compliance with all loan conditions. Other risk management tools include title insurance, date down endorsements or periodic lien inspections prior to the payment of construction loan advances. In some cases, general contractors may be required to provide sub-contractor lien releases for any work performed prior to the filing of our deed of trust or prior to each construction loan advance. Construction lending for custom construction as well as speculative construction requires additional underwriting measures to effectively manage the construction process and future collateral value. Valuations on construction loans are based on the assumption that the finished improvements will be built in strict accordance with plans and specifications submitted to us at the time of the loan application. The appraiser must take into consideration the proposed design and market appeal of the improvements, based on current market conditions and demand for homes, although the improvements may not be completed for six to 12 months or longer, depending on the complexity of the plans and specifications and market conditions. Land acquisition, development and construction loans are available on a limited basis to local contractors and developers for the purpose of holding and/or developing residential building sites and homes when market conditions warrant such activity. Land acquisition loans are secured by a first lien on the property and are generally limited to 65% of the acquisition price or the appraised value, whichever is less. Development land loans are generally limited to 75% of the discounted appraised value based on the projected lot sale absorption rate and associated carry and liquidation costs of the developed lots and homes. Underwriting criteria for acquisition and development loans include, but are not limited to, evidence of preliminary plat approval, compliance with state and Federal environmental protection and disclosure laws, engineering plans, detailed cost breakdowns and marketing plans. These loans have been limited to projects within the North Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound region. Other risk management tools include, but are not limited to, title insurance, feasibility and market absorption reports, environmental questionnaires, and other supplementary information as may be required to determine if the project and proposed lots represent acceptable collateral for timely repayment of the loan. The success of land acquisition, development and construction lending is largely dependent upon successful completion of the project and future sales or leasing of the property for repayment of the loan. Because of the uncertainties inherent in the estimates related to construction costs, the market value of the completed project, the demand for the property at completion, the rates of interest paid, and other factors that may affect the ability to complete the project or affect the value of the completed project, actual results may vary significantly from those estimated and can have a significant adverse impact on the value and marketability of the collateral for these types of loans. At June 30, 2016, the average construction commitment for single family residential construction was $387,000, for multi-family construction was $6.2 million and for commercial real estate construction was $2.0 16 million. The largest construction commitments for multi-family and commercial real estate were $10.0 million and $11.1 million, respectively, at June 30, 2016. Substantially all of our land acquisition, development and construction lending have adjustable rates of interest based on The Wall Street Journal prime rate. During the term of construction, the accumulated interest on the loan is either added to the principal of the loan through an interest reserve or billed monthly, as is the case for acquisition and development loans. When original interest reserves set up at origination are exhausted, no additional reserves are permitted unless the loan is re-analyzed and it is determined that the additional reserves are appropriate. In the event of default on an incomplete construction project, and because properties under construction are difficult to sell, we may advance additional funds and/or contract with another builder in order to complete construction and assume the market risk of selling the project at a future market price, at which time we may or may not fully recover unpaid loan funds and associated construction and liquidation costs. Furthermore, in the case of speculative construction loans, there is the added risk associated with identifying an end-purchaser for the finished project. We also originate individual lot loans, which are secured by a first lien on the property, for borrowers who are planning to build on the lot within the next five years. Generally, these loans have a maximum loan to value ratio of 75% for improved lands (legal access, water and power) and 50% to 65% for unimproved land. The interest rate on these loans is fixed with a 20-year amortization and a five-year term. At June 30, 2016, individual lot loans totaled $17.5 million or 2.8% of the total loan portfolio.

We manage all of our construction lending by utilizing a licensed third party vendor to assist us in monitoring our construction projects with construction loan proceeds disbursed periodically as construction progresses and as inspections by our approved third party vendor warrant.

We offer a variety of consumer loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit, new and used automobile loans, loans on other miscellaneous vehicles including recreational vehicles, travel trailers and motorcycles, and personal lines of credit. At June 30, 2016, home equity loans and lines of credit totaled $33.9 million, or 5.4% of the loan portfolio. Our interest rates on home equity loans are risk priced adjusted based on credit score, loan to value and overall credit quality of the applicant. Home equity loans are made for, among other purposes, the improvement of residential properties and other consumer needs. Some of these loans are secured by first liens; however, the majority of these loans are secured by a second deed of trust on the residential property. Fixed-rate, fully-amortizing home equity loans in first lien position are available up to a maximum loan amount of $750,000 with repayment periods ranging from five to 20 years. We also offer a home equity line of credit product, which has a five year, interest-only term with the remaining balance at the end of the term amortized over a period of 15 years, up to a maximum of $250,000 if in first lien position. Home equity fixed and line of credit products in second lien positions have a maximum loan amount of $75,000. Home equity lines of credit are tied to the prime rate during the interest-only period. Home equity loans and lines of credit have greater risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans because they are secured by mortgages subordinated to the existing first mortgage on the property, which we may or may not have private mortgage insurance coverage. We offer several options for vehicle purchase or refinance with a maximum term of up to 84 months depending on the age and condition of the vehicle. Loan rates for auto lending, as well as all other consumer loans, are priced based on the specific loan type and the risk involved. Direct and indirect lending sources are used to originate auto loans, which includes online as well as in person applications at our branch locations. We currently make indirect auto loans by partnering with auto dealerships throughout our market areas using a third party service provider that facilitates the underwriting and origination of these loans based on our underwriting and pricing criteria. We contracted directly with local auto dealerships prior to the implementation of the current program. At June 30, 2016, auto loans totaled $5.3 million, of which $2.2 million were originated through one of our local dealer programs. We have also used an Internet-based origination service that was terminated in 2015, and at June 30, 2016, we had $202,000 and $366,000 of auto loans to borrowers located outside and inside the state of Washington, respectively, that were originated through this service. Consumer loans represent additional and unique underwriting risks because of the mobility and rapidly depreciating nature of consumer assets such as automobiles, RVs, boats and trailers in contrast to real estate based collateral. If a borrower defaults, repossession and liquidation of the collateral may not provide sufficient sales proceeds to satisfy the outstanding loan balance. Many factors account for potential loan losses on consumer loans, a number of which are largely outside the control of the lender and include deferred maintenance, damages, depreciation and borrowers who relocate to other states. While subsequent legal actions and judgments against defaulted borrowers may be appropriate, such collection efforts and costs may not always be warranted and are evaluated after determining the cost of such collection efforts and the probability of any future loan recovery. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability and are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on these loans. Commercial Business Lending. As of June 30, 2016, commercial business loans totaled $16.9 million, or 2.7%, of our loan portfolio. These loans are primarily originated as loans to business borrowers, which include lines of credit, term loans, and letters of credit. These loans are typically secured by business assets and are used for general business purposes, including seasonal and permanent working capital, equipment financing, capital, and general investments. In general, loan terms vary from one to seven years with floating rates indexed to LIBOR, The Wall Street Journal prime rate or other acceptable indices depending on prevailing economic and market conditions. A typical requirement for us to extend business credit is for the borrower to have a business deposit relationship with us which, in most cases, includes multiple accounts and related services from which we realize low cost deposits plus service and ancillary fee income. Commercial business loans typically have shorter maturity terms and higher interest spreads than real estate loans but generally involve more credit risk because of the type and nature of the collateral. We are focusing our efforts on small-to-medium sized, privately-held companies with local or regional businesses that operate in our market area. Our commercial business lending policy includes credit file documentation and analysis of the borrower’s background, capacity to repay the loans and the adequacy of the borrower’s capital, as well as an evaluation of other conditions affecting the borrower. Analysis of the borrower’s past, present and future cash flows, as well as the collateral pledged as security is also an important aspect of our credit analysis. We generally obtain personal guarantees on our commercial business loans. 19 Primary repayment of our commercial loans is often dependent on cash flows of the borrower, which may be unpredictable due to normal business cycles, industry changes, and economic and political conditions. Furthermore, collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value based on market conditions or other factors. Our commercial business loans are originated primarily based on the identified cash flow of the borrowing entity and secondarily on the underlying collateral and revenue provided by the borrower and guarantors. Most often, this collateral consists of real estate, accounts receivable, inventory or equipment. Secondary sources of repayment and/ or recovery for most of these loans are based on the liquidation of the pledged collateral, and may include enforcement of personal guaranties. Secondary underwriting and collection efforts may include accounts receivable, or other third party payments, whereby availability of funds for repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower or a third party to collect amounts due from its customers. In addition, collateral secured by business assets may become functionally or economically obsolete, which can become problematic from a valuation, collection and liquidation perspective. Loan Solicitation and Processing. Our loan originations are obtained from a variety of sources, including existing or walk-in customers, business development by our relationship managers (“RMs”), and referrals from our directors, business owners, investors, entrepreneurs, builders, realtors, existing customers and other professional third parties, including brokers. Loan originations are further supported by lending services offered through our Internet website, direct mail, advertising, cross-selling, employees’ community service and in the case of auto loans, by partnering with auto dealerships throughout our market areas using a third party service provider. All of our consumer loan products, including residential mortgage loans and secured and unsecured consumer loans are processed through our centralized processing and underwriting center. Commercial business loans, including commercial and multi-family real estate loans, are processed by the RMs, RM assistants, and credit underwriters with formalized credit presentations submitted to our senior loan committee, and/or management possessing the appropriate lending authority, for approval. The senior loan committee consists of the president/chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief credit officer, chief banking officer, director of lending, commercial credit administrator, and mortgage and consumer credit manager. Exceptions to our loan policies are fully disclosed to the approving authority, either the individual or senior loan committee, prior to commitment. Exceptions are reported to the board of directors monthly. During the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there were eight exceptions and twenty-seven exceptions, respectively. Lending Authority. Under our current policy, our board of directors has delegated loan approval authority as follows: Overdrafts may be approved by our chief credit officer up to $250,000 and select named positions up to $25,000. The chief credit officer along with an underwriter or the mortgage and consumer credit manager can approve mortgage loans up to $500,000. Mortgage loans in amounts over $500,000 up to $2.9 million require the approval of the senior loan committee. At June 30, 2016, any loan or relationship in excess of $5.0 million required the approval of the board loan asset/quality committee. The lending limit requiring board loan approval was increased to $6.0 million with a corresponding lending authority change of up to $5.9 million from $4.9 million for the senior loan committee. Commercial loan approvals require two or more signatures from Credit Administration, Production Administration, and/or Executive Administration personnel. The chief credit officer and the commercial credit administrator are authorized individually to approve commercial loan relationships up to $1.0 million and $500,000, respectively. The chief banking officer or director of lending are authorized individually to approve commercial loans relationships up to $500,000, and the chief executive officer or chief financial officer are authorized individually to approve commercial loans up to $250,000. Approval is required from two of the three levels, regardless of the loan relationship amount, and their approval authorities can be aggregated not to exceed $1.8 million. The approval of any commercial loan relationship in excess of the aggregate approval authority and up to $5.9 million requires the approval of the two officers stated above with further approval required from the Bank's senior loan committee. Commercial loan relationships of $6.0 million or more require approval by the senior loan committee and then the majority of the board loan committee. In certain circumstances, the chief credit officer, individually, or the commercial credit administrator and the chief banking officer together, may approve Automated Clearing House and Remote Deposit Capture transactions up to any amount. In addition, where there is an existing relationship with a commercial borrower with loans outstanding in excess of $6.0 million, the board loan committee has authorized the senior loan committee to approve additional commercial loans to this borrower in excess of $6.0 million, so long as the total amount of these additional loans does not exceed $750,000. The board loan/asset quality committee and full board continue to provide direction through policy approval and oversight for key credit risk management, such as lending to percentage of capital, loans to one borrower limits, and underwriting criteria. The board loan committee reviews all loan approvals by the senior loan 20 committee each quarter. The board of directors will also review the approvals of the board loan/asset quality committee. The board loan/asset quality committee will also review all policy exceptions, concentrations of credit and compliance with all lending policies. The board loan/asset quality committee meets at least quarterly to discuss asset quality, loan production, and policy compliance, as well as to review industry trends. Washington law provides that Washington chartered savings banks, such as First Federal, are subject to the same loans to one borrower restrictions as Washington chartered commercial banks, which restricts total loans and extensions of credit by a bank to 20% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. As a result, under Washington law, First Federal would be limited to loans to one borrower of $28.0 million at June 30, 2016. As of July 26, 2016, First Federal elected to restrict its loans to one borrower to no more than 18% of its unimpaired capital plus surplus or $18.0 million, whichever is less, unless specifically approved by the board loan/asset quality committee as an exception to policy. At June 30, 2016, 18% of First Federal’s unimpaired capital was $22.6 million, and under this policy, loans to one borrower would have been $18.0 million. The following table provides a summary of our five largest relationships at June 30, 2016. Total Commitment (In thousands) $12,695 11,862 11,482 11,304 11,069 Number of Loans in Relationship 1 4 3 5 5 Primary Collateral Type Commercial Real Estate Commercial Real Estate Commercial Real Estate Multi-family Real Estate Multi-family Real Estate Loan Originations, Servicing, Purchases and Sales. We originate mortgage, consumer, multi-family and commercial real estate, and commercial business loans for our portfolio utilizing fixed- and adjustable-rate loan products. We also purchase whole and participation loans on a servicing retained or released basis, including loans that may be located outside our primary market areas. Our ability to originate sufficient loan volume to meet our asset and liability management objectives is limited within our historical market as a result of consumer demand, population demographics, and economic conditions. We, like many other financial institutions, may experience significant prepayments on loans due to prevailing economic conditions and low interest rates. In periods of economic uncertainty, the ability of financial institutions, including us, to originate real estate loans is substantially reduced, which results in a decrease in interest income. During the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, our total originations were $217.0 million, $105.0 million and $113.3 million, respectively. The North Olympic Peninsula region, which represents a substantial concentration of depositors and borrowers, has experienced limited population growth, and the region's unemployment rate is higher than both the state and national unemployment rates. As a result, we originate and purchase loans outside of these areas in the counties surrounding the Puget Sound and elsewhere, and we may purchase loans with different credit and underwriting criteria than those we originate organically. During the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 we purchased $59.2 million, $26.1 million and $39.9 million of loans, respectively. Loan pools purchased in the past three years consisted primarily of loans exceeding conforming loan limits, or "jumbo loans," secured by single family residential properties located in Washington and California. We have also participated with other lenders on commercial real estate loans located in Washington. Purchased loans, loan pools, and participations are underwritten by our credit administration department, evaluated for credit risk, and approved by the appropriate loan committee(s) prior to purchase, according to our lending authority guidelines. For more information see Item 1.A. Risk Factors -“Slower growth in our primary market area has led us to originate and purchase loans outside of our market area which could affect the level of our nonperforming loans.” We actively sell residential first mortgage loans in the secondary market, and we currently service all loans sold but have, in the past, also sold loans with the servicing released. The majority of all residential mortgages we originate are fixed-rate mortgages, which we may sell to the secondary market at the time of origination to improve our interest rate risk or selectively add to our loan portfolio in an effort to enhance our net interest income. During the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we sold $7.8 million, $22.5 million and $28.8 million of residential mortgage loans, respectively. Our secondary market relationship is primarily with Freddie Mac, and we receive a servicing fee on loans sold when the servicing is retained by us. Loans in general are sold on a non-recourse basis, whenever possible, subject to a provision for repurchase upon breach of representation, warranty or covenant. Sales 21 of real estate loans through secondary market conduits can be beneficial to us since these sales generate income at the time of sale, produce future servicing income, provide funds for additional lending, and assist us in managing our interest rate risk. Gains, losses and transfer fees on sales of one- to four-family loans and participations are recognized at the time of the sale. Our net gain on sales of residential loans was $234,000, $548,000 and $762,000 for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2016, we were servicing $187.7 million of residential mortgage loans for Freddie Mac and other secondary market purchasers. We earned mortgage servicing income of $502,000, $561,000, and $606,000 for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and mortgage servicing rights for these loans had a fair value at June 30, 2016, of $1.7 million. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K. During fiscal 2008, we sold loans with “life of the loan” recourse provisions to Freddie Mac, requiring us to repurchase the loan if it defaults. Additionally, beginning in May 2013, Freddie Mac has required loans guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture to be sold with "life of the loan" recourse provisions. The balance of loans serviced for others with life of the loan recourse provisions was $7.2 million at June 30, 2016. Two loans were repurchased during the year ended June 30, 2016 for $151,000, two loans were repurchased during the year ended June 30, 2015 for $335,000 and one loan was repurchased during the year ended June 30, 2014 for $239,000. 22 The following table shows our loan origination, sale and repayment activities for the periods indicated: 2016 Year Ended June 30, 2015 (In thousands) 2014 $ 50,229 $ 56,694 $ 36,413 Originations by type: Fixed-rate: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Home equity Other consumer Commercial business Total fixed-rate Adjustable-rate: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Home equity Other consumer Commercial business Total adjustable-rate Total loans originated Purchases by type: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Multi-family construction Total loans purchased Sales and Repayments: One- to four-family loans sold Commercial real estate loans sold Total loans sold — 16,713 11,997 2,193 4,133 3,413 88,678 1,095 13,882 54,139 49,818 4,987 23 4,399 128,343 217,021 — — 8,204 798 1,609 1,148 68,453 3,276 — 20,151 8,461 1,931 9 2,675 36,503 104,956 55,143 26,078 74 — 3,986 59,203 7,763 1,500 9,263 21 — — 26,099 22,540 — 22,540 132 3,745 1,103 1,489 2,127 1,271 46,280 3,263 — 49,180 5,328 1,221 3 8,053 67,048 113,328 18,477 20,463 993 — 39,933 28,769 5,865 34,634 72,320 106,954 46,307 Total principal repayments, charge-offs and transfers to real estate owned and repossessed assets Total reductions Net loan activity 134,857 144,120 132,104 $ 118,462 141,002 (9,947) $ $ Loan Origination and Other Fees. Loan origination fees generally represent a percentage of the principal amount of the loan that is paid by the borrower. Accounting standards require that certain fees received, net of certain origination costs, be deferred and amortized over the contractual life of the loan. Net deferred fees or costs associated with loans that are prepaid or sold are recognized as income at the time of prepayment. We had $1.2 million, $840,000 and $862,000 of net deferred loan fees at June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, we receive fees for loan commitments, late payments and miscellaneous services. Asset Quality Management of asset quality is accomplished by internal controls, monitoring and reporting of key risk indicators, and both internal and independent third party loan reviews. The primary objective of our loan review process is to measure borrower performance and assess risk for the purpose of identifying loan weakness in order to minimize loan loss exposure. From the time of loan origination through final repayment, all loans are assigned a 23 risk rating based on pre-determined criteria and levels of risk. The risk rating is monitored annually for most loans, and may change during the life of the loan as appropriate. Internal and independent third party loan reviews vary by loan type, as well as the nature and complexity of the loan. Some loans may warrant detailed individual review, while other loans may have less risk based upon size, or be of a homogeneous nature reducing the need for detailed individual analysis. Assets with these characteristics, such as consumer loans and loans secured by residential real estate, may be reviewed on the basis of risk indicators such as delinquency or credit rating. In cases of significant concern, a total re-evaluation of the loan and associated risks are documented by completing a loan risk assessment and action plan. Some loans may be re-evaluated in terms of their fair market value or net realizable value in order to determine the likelihood of potential loss exposure and, consequently, the adequacy of specific and general loan loss reserves. We generally assess late fees or penalty charges on delinquent loans of five percent of the monthly payment amount due. Substantially all first lien residential fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loan payments are due on the first day of the month with a 15-day grace period following the due date, after which time we institute collection procedures including a mailed first notice of delinquency and late charge and efforts to contact the borrower by telephone. Attempts to contact the borrower to establish a cause of the default and assess the borrower's willingness and ability to repay the debt continue until the 90th day, after which time if we have not been able to reach a mutually satisfactory arrangement for curing the default with the borrower, we will pursue all permissible remedies according to the terms of the security instruments and applicable law. In the event of an unsecured loan, we will either seek legal action against the borrower or refer the loan to an outside collection agency. The following table shows our delinquent loans by type of loan and number of days delinquent as of June 30, 2016.

Delinquent loans, not including nonperforming and impaired loans, were $0, $479,000 and $489,000 at June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Nonperforming Assets. The following table sets forth information with respect to our nonperforming assets and troubled debt restructurings. The troubled debt restructurings include nonperforming and performing loans. Nonperforming assets include all nonperforming loans as well as real estate owned and repossessed assets. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets was 0.3% at June 30, 2016, compared to 0.7% and 0.9% at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At each of the dates indicated, there were no loans delinquent more than 90 days that were accruing interest. 24 Nonaccruing loans: Real estate loans: One- to four-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Total real estate loans Consumer loans: Home equity Other Total consumer loans Total nonaccruing loans Real estate owned: One- to four-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Total real estate loans Home equity Total real estate owned Repossessed automobiles and recreational vehicles Total nonperforming assets TDR loans: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Total real estate loans Home equity Other consumer Commercial business Total restructured loans 2016 2015 June 30, 2014 (Dollars in thousands) 2013 2012 $ 2,413 $ 4,232 $ 474 91 2,978 167 112 279 3,257 — — 22 22 — 22 59 3,338 4,285 122 1,314 — 5,721 464 — 360 6,545 $ $ $ 147 159 4,538 181 164 345 4,883 493 1,368 — 1,861 — 1,861 53 6,797 4,923 629 1,363 — 6,915 428 — 403 7,746 $ $ $ $ $ $ 3,543 1,913 127 5,583 340 41 381 5,964 524 — 220 744 — 744 66 6,774 5,939 728 4,456 — $ $ $ 5,643 2,823 236 8,702 1,062 100 1,162 9,864 1,920 195 119 2,234 — 2,234 31 12,129 6,318 280 4,701 — 11,123 11,299 615 0 426 12,164 740 2 308 12,349 $ $ $ $ $ 5,410 3,626 132 9,168 882 102 984 10,152 2,546 41 233 2,820 — 2,820 45 13,017 4,946 287 2,894 — 8,127 742 30 — 8,899 Nonaccrual and 90 days or more past due loans as a percentage of total loans Nonperforming TDR loans included in total nonaccruing loans and total restructured loans above 0.5% 1.0% 1.2% 2.2% 2.5% $ 944 $ 2,070 $ 3,536 $ 5,263 $ 4,107 For the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, gross interest income which would have been recorded had the nonaccruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $306,000 and $184,000, respectively. The amount that was included in interest income on a cash basis on nonaccruing loans was $75,000, $178,000 and $167,000 for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Other Loans of Concern. In addition to the nonperforming assets set forth in the table above, as of June 30, 2016 there were 47 accruing loans totaling $4.1 million with respect to which known information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers have caused management to have concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such items in the nonperforming asset categories. These loans have been considered in management's determination of our allowance for loan losses. 25 Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Property. Real estate we acquire as a result of foreclosure, deed in lieu, or non-merger deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until it is sold. When the property is acquired, it is recorded at the lower of its cost, which is the unpaid principal balance of the related loan, or the fair market value of the property less selling costs. Other repossessed collateral, including automobiles, are also recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value. As of June 30, 2016, First Federal had one property in real estate owned with a book value of $22,000 and one personal property owned with a book value of $59,000. Our real estate owned property is located in Washington State, listed with a real estate broker for sale, included in the multiple listing service, and actively being marketed. Restructured Loans. According to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), we are required to account for certain loan modifications or restructurings as a TDR. In general, the modification or restructuring of a debt is considered a TDR if we, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grant a concession to the borrower under more favorable terms and conditions than we would grant to an ordinary bank customer under a normal course of business standard. General loan restructures and modifications not considered as TDR loans may include lowering interest rates, extending the maturity date, deferring or re-amortizing monthly payments or other concessions. These general loan restructures and modifications are made on a case-by-case basis provided that such concessions are not below market rates nor considered material and outside of the terms and conditions granted to other borrowers under normal course of business standards. Adversely classified loans which are subsequently modified and placed in nonaccrual status must remain in nonaccrual status for a period of not less than six months with consecutive satisfactory payment performance and be further supported by current financial information and analysis which demonstrates the borrowers have the financial capacity to meet future debt service before being returned to accrual status. As of June 30, 2016, we had 52 loans with an aggregate principal balance of $6.5 million which we have identified as TDR loans, of which $5.6 million were performing in accordance with their revised payment terms and on accrual status. As of June 30, 2016, there were $944,000 of TDR loans on nonaccrual and whose accrual status continues to be evaluated by management. Included in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2016 was a reserve of $267,000 related to TDR loans. Nonaccruing TDR loans are classified as substandard, and accruing TDR loans may be classified special mention or pass in our loan grading system depending upon verified repayment sources, collateral values and repayment history. Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets as substandard, doubtful or loss. An asset is considered substandard when material conditions are identified which raise issues about the financial capacity, collateral or other conditions which may compromise the borrower’s promise and ability to satisfactorily perform under the terms of the loan. Substandard assets considered impaired include those characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as impaired with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make near term collection or liquidation highly questionable and improbable. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets with the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets that do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but possess identified weaknesses are classified by us as either watch or special mention assets. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310 and ASC 450, when we classify problem assets as substandard, doubtful, and loss, we may conduct individual loan and collateral analysis to establish a specific loan loss allowance in an amount we deem prudent, based on the unique circumstances of each loan. Our Credit Administration and certain other members of senior management review the analysis and approve the specific loan loss allowance for these loans. General reserve loan loss allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances on impaired loans, have not been specifically allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution identifies a problem asset as an unavoidable and imminent loss, it is required to partially or fully charge-off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our valuation allowances is subject to review by the DFI and the FDIC, who can order specific charge-offs or the establishment of additional loan loss allowances. 26 We review, at least quarterly, the problem assets in our portfolio to determine whether any assets require reclassification. On the basis of our review, as of June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we had classified loans of $4.6 million, $9.9 million, and $13.9 million, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2016 we had $2.8 million of special mention loans. At June 30, 2016, classified assets represented 2.4% of equity capital and 0.5% of assets. The decrease in classified assets during the year ended June 30, 2016 was mainly attributable to the borrowers' improved financial condition as well as their ability to sell the underlying collateral securing these loans and repay our loan with the sales proceeds. The following table shows the aggregate amounts of our classified assets at the dates indicated.

Management recognizes that loan losses may occur over the life of a loan and the allowance for loan losses must be maintained at a level necessary to absorb specific losses on impaired loans and probable losses inherent in the total loan portfolio. Monthly, our chief credit officer prepares a report of the allowance for loan losses and establishes the provision for credit losses based on the risk composition of our loan portfolio, delinquency levels, loss experience, economic conditions, regulatory examination results, seasoning of the loan portfolios, and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. This allowance for loan losses report is reviewed monthly by our Asset Quality Committee consisting of the chief credit officer, chief banking officer, chief financial officer and chief executive officer. The qualitative factors, which have an impact on the allowance for loan losses, are approved by Management on a quarterly basis. Quarterly, the allowance for loan losses with the adjusted qualitative factors is reviewed by the board of director's board loan/asset quality committee and presented for approval to the full board of directors. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is charged against current period operating results, and decreased by the amount of actual loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. We believe the quantitative and qualitative analysis necessary to calculate accounting estimates for loan loss reserves is a critical process; however, we also recognize that economic, market, industry and political changes can adversely affect loan quality. Unpredictable personal events or other undisclosed information by individual borrowers can occur at any time, which can result in immediate significant changes in, as well as management’s assumptions about, probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The impact of such events can quickly deplete the allowance and potentially require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which could negatively affect current and future earnings. Our methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of two components: general and specific allowances. The formula for the general loan loss reserve allowance is determined by applying an estimated quantified loss percentage, as well as qualitative factors, to various groups of loans. The loss percentages are generally based on various historical measures such as the amount and type of classified loans, past due ratios, loss experience, and economic conditions, which could affect the collectability of the respective loan types. Qualitative factors and adjustments to the loan loss reserve calculations are largely subjective but also include objective variables such as unemployment rates, falling or rising real estate values, real estate and retail sales, demographics and other known material economic indicators. A specific allowance is established when management believes the borrower’s financial and/or collateral condition has materially deteriorated to a point of impairment and loss is highly probable. The allowance for loan losses was $7.2 million, or 1.2% of total loans, at June 30, 2016, compared to $7.1 million, or 1.4% of total loans, and $8.1 million, or 1.6% of total loans, at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Fluctuations in the allowance for loan losses are the result of changes in asset quality reflected in our delinquent, nonperforming, and classified loans and amount of loan charge-offs, together with our recognition of qualitative factors and changes in the balance and mix of loans in the portfolio. First Federal uses a three year loss history as part of its allowance for loan losses methodology, and management continually monitors local, regional, and national economic trends. We define a loan as being impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable we will be unable to collect amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, are grouped together for impairment analysis and reserve calculation. All other loans are evaluated for impairment on an individual basis. In the process of identifying loans as impaired, management takes into consideration factors which include payment history, collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments in the future. Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically do not result in a loan being classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and shortfalls is considered by management on a case- by-case basis, after taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loans and borrowers, including payment history and amounts of any payment shortfall, length and reason for delay, and likelihood of return to stable performance. As of June 30, 2016, we had impaired loans of $9.1 million, compared to $10.8 million and $14.7 million at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management utilizes the valuation shown in the most recent appraisal obtained, unless additional information is known, which can result in additional adjustments to the valuation of collateral pledged. Appraisals or evaluations may be updated subsequent to the time of origination, whenever management identifies a loan as impaired or potentially being impaired. Events which may trigger an updated appraisal or evaluation include, but are not limited to, borrower delinquency, material technical defaults, 29 annual review of borrower’s financial condition, property tax and/or assessment delinquency, deferred maintenance or other information known or discovered by us. Impaired collateral dependent loans require a current appraisal and analysis to determine the net value of the collateral for loan loss reserve purposes. Our policy is to update these appraisals every 12 months as long as the loan and collateral remains impaired, except for smaller balance, homogeneous loans, which are applied a reserve according to their risk weighting and loan class. Certain types of collateral, depending on market conditions, may require more frequent appraisals, updates or evaluations. When the results of the impairment analysis indicate a potential loss, the loan is classified as substandard and a specific reserve amount is established or adjusted to reflect any further deterioration in the value of the collateral that may occur prior to liquidation or reinstatement. The impairment analysis takes into consideration the primary, secondary, and tertiary sources of repayment, whether impairment is likely to be temporary in nature or liquidation is anticipated. Management believes that our allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2016, was adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in the loan portfolio at that date. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provision that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. 30 The following table summarizes the distribution of our allowance for loan losses at the dates indicated. 2016 2015 June 30, 2014 Percent of loans in each category to total Amount Amount Percent of loans in each category to total Percent of loans in each category to total Amount (Dollars in thousands) 2013 2012 Percent of loans in each category to total Amount Percent of loans in each category to total Amount Allocated at end of period to: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Home equity Other consumer Commercial business Unallocated Total 3 1 $ 2,992 49.3% $ 3,143 52.0% $ 3,408 341 1,268 599 833 310 335 7.4 25.7 8.0 5.4 1.5 2.7 251 998 336 1,052 321 251 6.7 25.4 3.8 7.4 1.7 3.0 475 1,491 397 1,289 389 388 48.1% $ 3,667 8.9 230 25.4 4.1 7.9 2.1 3.5 1,321 297 1,562 453 223 54.2% $ 3,464 52.6% 6.1 20.3 3.4 9.3 2.8 3.9 78 876 230 1,773 395 574 4.2 19.5 5.5 12.5 2.7 3.0 561 $ 7,239 — 759 100.0% $ 7,111 — 235 100.0% $ 8,072 — 221 100.0% $ 7,974 — — 100.0% $ 7,390 — 100.0% The following table sets forth an analysis of our allowance for loan losses: 2016 2015 June 30, 2014 (Dollars in thousands) 2013 2012 Allowance at beginning of period $ 7,111 $ 8,072 $ 7,974 $ 7,390 $ 4,728 Charge-offs: One- to four-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Home equity Other consumer Commercial business Total charge-offs Recoveries: One- to four-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Home equity Other consumer Commercial business Total recoveries Net charge-offs Provision for loan losses (75) (18) (17) (77) (172) (7) (366) 64 — 33 63 59 42 261 (105) 233 (430) — (49) (325) (178) (177) (662) (125) (35) (434) (181) (10) (548) — (222) (463) (169) — (2,482) (577) (314) (1,465) (301) (364) (1,159) (1,447) (1,402) (5,503) 84 — 17 48 46 3 198 (961) — 92 — 2 86 42 16 238 180 269 — 27 106 28 610 95 — — 7 47 46 195 (1,209) 1,307 8,072 $ (792) 1,376 7,974 (5,308) 7,970 7,390 $ Balance at end of period $ 7,239 $ 7,111 $ Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding Net charge-offs as a percentage of average nonperforming assets Allowance as a percentage of nonperforming loans Allowance as a percentage of total loans —% 0.2% 0.3% 0.2% 1.3% 2.3% 14.0% 13.0% 6.2% 36.0% 222.3% 145.6% 135.3% 80.8% 72.8% 1.2% 1.4% 1.6% 1.7% 1.8% Average consolidated loans, net Average total loans $ $ 536,706 542,855 $ $ 491,497 498,227 $ $ 474,222 482,276 $ $ 423,294 432,431 $ 412,262 $ 418,954 32 Investment Activities General. Under Washington law, savings banks are permitted to invest in various types of liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, banker’s acceptances, repurchase agreements, federal funds, commercial paper, investment grade corporate debt, and obligations of states and their political subdivisions. Our chief financial officer has the basic responsibility for the management of our investment portfolio, in consultation with our chief executive officer, and the direction and guidance of the board of directors. Various factors are considered when making investment decisions, including the marketability, maturity and tax consequences of the proposed investment. The maturity structure of investments will be affected by various market conditions, including the current and anticipated slope of the yield curve, the level of interest rates, the trend of deposit inflows, and the anticipated demand for funds from deposit withdrawals and loan originations and purchases. The general objective of our investment portfolio is to provide sufficient liquidity to fund lending when loan demand is high, to assist in maintaining earnings when loan demand is low, and to maximize earnings while satisfactorily managing risk, including credit risk, reinvestment risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Securities. Total investment securities decreased $36.7 million, or 10.2%, to $323.9 million at June 30, 2016, from $360.6 million at June 30, 2015, as we continued to use cash flows from sales, calls, and normal amortization and prepayment activity of investment securities to fund loan growth. At June 30, 2016, U.S. government agency issued mortgage-backed securities ("MBS agency") still comprised the largest portion of our investment portfolio at 56.4%, followed by corporate issued mortgage-backed securities ("MBS corporate") at 12.7%, municipal bonds at 11.6%, corporate issued asset-backed securities ("ABS corporate") at 9.1%, U.S. Treasury and government agency issued bonds ("Agency bonds") at 4.6%, U.S. Small Business Administration securities ("SBA") at 3.1%, and U.S. government agency issued asset-backed securities ("ABS agency") at 2.4%. MBS agency securities also comprised the largest change in the investment portfolio, decreasing $39.6 million during the year, followed by decreases in SBA securities of $25.2 million, Agency bonds of $8.7 million, ABS agency of $1.3 million, and ABS corporate of $253,000, partially offset by an increase in municipal bonds of $5.2 million. The estimated average life of the total investment securities portfolio was 4.2 years at June 30, 2016 and 4.7 years at June 30, 2015. The issuers of MBS agency securities held in our portfolio, which include Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae, and certain issuers of agency bonds held in our portfolio, which include the U.S. Treasury, FHLB, and Fannie Mae, as well as the U.S. Small Business Administration, guarantee the timely principal and interest payments in the event of default. ABS agency bonds held in our portfolio also include securities issued by Sallie Mae Student Loan Trust and CIT Education Loan Trust, which are backed by student loans in a subordinate tranche where payment is not guaranteed by the issuer. The underlying student loans are reinsured by the U.S. Department of Education, which mitigates a significant portion of their risk of loss. Municipal bonds consist of a mix of taxable and non-taxable, revenue and general obligation bonds issued by various local and state government entities that use their revenue-generating and taxing authority as a source of repayment of their debt. The state of the issuers of our municipal bonds, in which we hold more than 10% of our municipal bond portfolio at June 30, 2016, include Washington state at 23.5%, New York at 21.6%, Florida at 12.1%, and Michigan at 11.1%. Our municipal bonds are considered investment grade, and we monitor their credit quality on an ongoing basis. ABS and MBS corporate securities have no guarantees in the event of default and therefore warrant continued monitoring for credit quality. Our MBS corporate securities consist of fixed and variable rate mortgages issued by various corporations, and our ABS corporate securities consist of a mix of variable rate collateralized loan obligations in managed funds which we believe have sufficient subordination to mitigate the risk of loss on these investments. Monitoring of these securities may include, but is not limited to, reviewing credit quality standards such as delinquency, subordination, and credit ratings. Our corporate securities are considered investment grade. As a member of the FHLB, we had an average balance of $4.6 million in stock of the FHLB for the year ended June 30, 2016. We received $104,000, $12,000, and $10,000 in dividends from the FHLB during the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. 33 The table below sets forth information regarding the composition of our securities portfolio and other investments at the dates indicated.

At June 30, 2016, there were 15 investment securities with $1.3 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $65.6 million. At June 30, 2015, there were 54 investment securities with $2.1 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $157.7 million. Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds General. Deposits, borrowings and loan repayments are the major sources of our funds for lending and other investment purposes. Scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are influenced significantly by general interest rates and market conditions. Borrowings from the FHLB are used to supplement the availability of funds from other sources and also as a source of term funds to assist in the management of interest rate risk. Our deposit composition reflects a mixture with certificates of deposit accounting for 22.0% of the total deposits at June 30, 2016, and interest and noninterest-bearing checking, savings and money market accounts comprising the balance of total deposits. We rely on marketing activities, convenience, customer service and the availability of a broad range of deposit products and services to attract and retain customer deposits. We did not have any brokered deposits at June 30, 2016. Deposits. Deposits are attracted from within our market area through the offering of a broad selection of deposit instruments, including checking accounts, money market deposit accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit with a variety of rates. Deposit account terms vary according to the minimum balance required, the time periods the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. In determining the terms of our deposit accounts, we consider the development of long-term profitable customer relationships, current market interest rates, current maturity structure and deposit mix, our customer preferences, and the profitability of acquiring customer deposits compared to alternative sources.

These reserves may be in the form of cash or noninterest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts and other types of accounts that permit payments or transfers to third parties fall within the definition of transaction accounts and are subject to the reserve requirements, as are any non-personal time deposits at a savings bank. As of June 30, 2016, our deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and vault cash exceeded our reserve requirements. Borrowings. Although customer deposits are the primary source of funds for our lending and investment activities, we have used advances from the FHLB, including short-term overnight advances and longer term advances, to supplement our supply of lendable funds, to meet short-term deposit withdrawal requirements, and to provide longer-term funding to better match the duration of selected loan and investment maturities. 40 Depending upon the retail banking activity and the availability of excess post-conversion capital that may be provided to us, we will consider and may undertake additional leverage strategies within applicable regulatory requirements or restrictions. These borrowings would be expected to primarily consist of FHLB advances. As a member of the FHLB, we are required to own capital stock in the FHLB and are authorized to apply for advances on the security of that stock and certain of our mortgage loans and other assets (principally securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. Government) provided certain creditworthiness standards have been met. Advances are individually made under various terms pursuant to several different credit programs, each with its own interest rate and range of maturities. Depending on the program, limitations on the amount of advances are based on the financial condition of the member institution and the adequacy of collateral pledged to secure the credit. We maintain a committed credit facility with the FHLB and at June 30, 2016 had pledged loan and security collateral to support a borrowing capacity of $214.1 million. At that date outstanding advances from the FHLB totaled $80.7 million leaving a remaining borrowing capacity of $133.4 million. The following tables set forth information regarding our borrowings at the end of and during the periods indicated. The tables include both long- and short-term borrowings.

(“NOPS”), which had been inactive for approximately ten years prior to its dissolution by First Federal during the fiscal year 2016. In 2008, First Federal partnered with Craft3, Inc., a Washington nonprofit corporation, to form two limited liability 41 companies for the purpose of participating in the new markets tax credit program (“NMTC”). The Craft3 partnership was also dissolved in fiscal 2016 after the expiration of our participation in the NMTC program in June 2015. Competition We face competition in originating loans. Competition in originating real estate loans comes primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions, life insurance companies, and mortgage bankers. Other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending, including our indirect lending. Commercial business competition is primarily from commercial banks, some of which have a nationwide presence. We compete by delivering high-quality, personal service to our customers that result in a high level of customer satisfaction. We attract our deposits through our branch office system. Competition for those deposits is principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks and credit unions located in the same community, as well as mutual funds and other alternative investments. We compete for these deposits by offering excellent service and a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates. Our market area has a high concentration of financial institutions, many of which are branches of large money center and regional banks. These include large national lenders that have greater resources and may offer services that we do not provide. Employees At June 30, 2016, we had 178 full-time equivalent employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. We consider our employee relations to be good.

HOW WE ARE REGULATED The following is a brief description of certain laws and regulations applicable to First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal. The descriptions of laws and regulations included herein do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual laws and regulations. Legislation is introduced from time to time in the United States Congress or the Washington State Legislature that may affect the operations of First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal. In addition, the regulations governing us may be amended from time to time. Any such legislation or regulatory changes in the future could adversely affect our operations and financial condition by the FDIC, DFI, Federal Reserve and the CFPB. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which was enacted in July 2010, imposed new restrictions and an expanded framework of regulatory oversight for financial institutions, including depository institutions and their holding companies. Among other changes, the Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB as an independent bureau of the Federal Reserve Board. The CFPB assumed responsibility for the implementation of the federal financial consumer protection and fair lending laws and regulations and has authority to impose new requirements. First Federal is subject to consumer protection regulations issued by the CFPB, but as a smaller financial institution, we are generally subject to supervision and enforcement by the FDIC and the DFI with respect to our compliance with consumer financial protection laws and CFPB regulations. Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to delayed effective dates and/or rule-making by the federal banking agencies, and their impact on operations cannot yet fully be assessed. However, it is likely that the Dodd-Frank Act will increase the regulatory burden, compliance costs and interest expense for First Northwest Bancorp, First Federal and the financial services industry more generally. Regulation of First Federal General. First Federal, as a state-chartered savings bank, is subject to applicable provisions of Washington law and to regulations and examinations of the DFI. As an insured institution, it also is subject to examination and regulation by the FDIC, which insures the deposits of First Federal to the maximum permitted by law. During these state or federal regulatory examinations, the examiners may require First Federal to provide for higher general or specific loan loss reserves, which can impact our capital and earnings. This regulation of First Federal is intended for the protection of depositors and the deposit insurance fund of the FDIC and not for the purpose of protecting shareholders of First Federal or First Northwest Bancorp. First Federal is required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital and is subject to some limitations on the payment of dividends to First Northwest Bancorp. See "– Capital Requirements" and "– Dividends." Federal and State Enforcement Authority and Actions. As part of its supervisory authority over Washington-chartered savings banks, the DFI may initiate enforcement proceedings to obtain a cease-and-desist order against an institution believed to have engaged in unsafe and unsound practices or to have violated a law, regulation, or other regulatory limit, including a written agreement. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against insured institutions for similar reasons and may terminate the deposit insurance if it determines that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition. Both these agencies may utilize less formal supervisory tools to address their concerns about the condition, operations or compliance status of a savings bank. Regulation by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions. State law and regulations govern First Federal's ability to take deposits and pay interest, to make loans on or invest in residential and other real estate, to make consumer loans, to invest in securities, to offer various banking services to its customers, and to establish 43 branch offices. As a state savings bank, First Federal must pay semi-annual assessments, examination costs and certain other charges to the DFI. Washington law generally provides the same powers for Washington savings banks as federally and other- state chartered savings institutions and banks with branches in Washington, subject to the approval of the DFI. Washington law allows Washington savings banks to charge the maximum interest rates on loans and other extensions of credit to Washington residents which are allowable for a national bank in another state if higher than Washington limits. In addition, the DFI may approve applications by Washington savings banks to engage in an otherwise unauthorized activity if the DFI determines that the activity is closely related to banking and First Federal is otherwise qualified under the statute. This additional authority, however, is subject to review and approval by the FDIC if the activity is not permissible for national banks. Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC. The deposit insurance fund of the FDIC insures deposit accounts in First Federal up to $250,000 per separately insured depositor. As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of, and to require reporting by, FDIC-insured institutions. Our deposit insurance premiums for the year ended June 30, 2016, were $424,000. Under the FDIC’s risk-based assessment system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other risk factors. Rates are based on each institution’s risk category and certain specified risk adjustments, whereby stronger institutions pay lower rates while riskier institutions pay higher rates. Assessments are based on an institution’s average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity with an assessment rate schedule ranging from 2.5 to 45 basis points. The FDIC has authority to increase insurance assessments, and any significant increases would have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of First Federal. Management cannot predict what assessment rates will be in the future. Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. We do not currently know of any practice, condition, or violation that may lead to termination of our deposit insurance. Prompt Corrective Action. Federal statutes establish a supervisory framework based on five capital categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. An institution’s category depends upon where its capital levels are in relation to relevant capital measures, which include a risk-based capital measure, a leverage ratio capital measure and certain other factors. The federal banking agencies have adopted regulations that implement this statutory framework. Under these regulations, an institution is treated as well capitalized if its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 10% or more, its ratio of core capital to risk-weighted assets is 6% or more, its ratio of common equity capital is 5% or more, its ratio of core capital to adjusted total assets (leverage ratio) is 5% or more, and it is not subject to any federal supervisory order or directive to meet a specific capital level. In order to be adequately capitalized, an institution must have a total risk-based capital ratio of not less than 8%, a core capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of not less than 4%, and a leverage ratio of not less than 4%. An institution that is not well capitalized is subject to certain restrictions on brokered deposits, including restrictions on the rates it can offer on its deposits generally. Any institution which is neither well capitalized nor adequately capitalized is considered undercapitalized. Undercapitalized institutions are subject to certain prompt corrective action requirements, regulatory controls and restrictions which become more extensive as an institution becomes more severely undercapitalized. Failure by First Federal to comply with applicable capital requirements would, if not remedied, result in restrictions on its activities and lead to enforcement actions, including, but not limited to, the issuance of a capital directive to ensure the maintenance of required capital levels and, ultimately, the appointment of the FDIC as receiver or conservator. Banking regulators will take prompt corrective action with respect to depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. Additionally, approval of any regulatory application filed for their review may be dependent on compliance with capital requirements. At June 30, 2016, First Federal was categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory capital requirements described below. For additional information, see Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K. Capital Requirements. The minimum capital level requirements applicable to First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal are: (i) a common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6%; (iii) a total capital ratio of 8%; and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. 44 There is a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% above these regulatory minimum capital requirements, which must consist entirely of common equity Tier 1 capital and would result in the following minimum ratios: (i) a CET1 capital ratio of 7.0%, (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%, and (iii) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. The capital conservation buffer requirement is being phased in, which began in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets, and will increase by that amount each year until fully implemented in January 2019. A financial institution would be subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the buffer amount. These limitations establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. To be considered "well capitalized," First Northwest Bancorp must have, on a consolidated basis, a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater and must not be subject to an individual order, directive or agreement under which the Federal Reserve requires it to maintain a specific capital level. To be considered “well capitalized,” First Federal must have a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a CET1 capital ratio of at least 5% and a leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be subject to an individualized order, directive or agreement under which its primary federal banking regulator requires it to maintain a specific capital level. As of June 30, 2016, First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal met the requirements to be "well capitalized" and met the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer requirement. Management monitors the capital levels of First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal to provide for current and future business opportunities and to meet regulatory guidelines for “well capitalized” institutions. For additional information regarding First Northwest Bancorp’s and First Federal’s required and actual capital levels at June 30, 2016, see Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K. The Federal Reserve and the FDIC have authority to establish individual minimum capital requirements in appropriate cases upon a determination that an institution’s capital level is or may become inadequate in light of particular risks or circumstances. Management believes that, under the current regulations, First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal will continue to meet their minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. Standards for Safety and Soundness. The federal banking regulatory agencies have prescribed, by regulation, guidelines for all insured depository institutions relating to internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems; loan documentation; credit underwriting; interest rate risk exposure; asset growth; asset quality; earnings; and compensation, fees and benefits. The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. Each insured depository institution must implement a comprehensive written information security program that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the institution’s size and complexity and the nature and scope of its activities. The information security program must be designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information, protect against any unanticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information, protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer, and ensure the proper disposal of customer and consumer information. Each insured depository institution must also develop and implement a risk-based response program to address incidents of unauthorized access to customer information in customer information systems. If the FDIC determines that an institution fails to meet any of these guidelines, it may require an institution to submit to the FDIC an acceptable plan to achieve compliance. Federal Home Loan Bank System. First Federal is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines. As a member, First Federal is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB. At June 30, 2016, First Federal held $4.4 million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region, and it is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Each FHLB makes loans or advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures, established by its Board of Directors, subject to the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Board. All advances from the FHLB are required to be fully secured by sufficient collateral as determined by the FHLB, and all long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential home financing. At June 30, 2016, First Federal had $80.7 million of outstanding advances from the FHLB of Des Moines. See Item 1, "Business – Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds – Borrowings." The FHLBs continue to contribute to low- and moderately-priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects. 45 These contributions have affected adversely the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future. These contributions could also have an adverse effect on the value of FHLB stock in the future. A reduction in value of First Federal's FHLB of Des Moines stock may result in a corresponding reduction in its capital. Activities and Investments of Insured State-Chartered Financial Institutions. Federal law generally limits the activities and equity investments of FDIC insured, state-chartered banks to those that are permissible for national banks. An insured state bank is not prohibited from, among other things, (1) acquiring or retaining a majority interest in a subsidiary, (2) investing as a limited partner in a partnership, the sole purpose of which is direct or indirect investment in the acquisition, rehabilitation or new construction of a qualified housing project, provided that such limited partnership investments may not exceed 2% of the bank’s total assets, (3) acquiring up to 10% of the voting stock of a company that solely provides or reinsures directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage or bankers’ blanket bond group insurance coverage for insured depository institutions, and (4) acquiring or retaining the voting shares of a depository institution if certain requirements are met. Dividends. Dividends from First Federal constitute a major source of funds for dividends in future periods that may be paid by First Northwest Bancorp to shareholders. The amount of dividends payable by First Federal to First Northwest Bancorp depends upon First Federal’s earnings and capital position; is limited by federal and state laws, regulations and policies; and is subject to prior regulatory approval. According to Washington law, First Federal may not declare or pay a cash dividend on its capital stock if it would cause its net worth to be reduced below (1) the amount required for liquidation accounts or (2) the net worth requirements, if any, imposed by the Director of the DFI. Dividends on First Federal’s capital stock may not be paid in an aggregate amount greater than the aggregate retained earnings of First Federal without the approval of the Director of the DFI. The amount of dividends actually paid during any one period will be strongly affected by First Federal’s policy of maintaining a strong capital position. Federal law further provides that no insured depository institution may pay a cash dividend if it would cause the institution to be “undercapitalized” as defined in the prompt corrective action regulations. Moreover, the federal bank regulatory agencies also have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured banks if such payments are deemed to constitute an unsafe and unsound practice. Affiliate Transactions. Federal laws strictly limit the ability of banks to engage in certain transactions with their affiliates, including their bank holding companies. Transactions deemed to be a “covered transaction” under Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act and between a subsidiary bank and its parent company or the nonbank subsidiaries of the bank holding company are limited to 10% of the bank subsidiary’s capital and surplus and, with respect to the parent company and all such nonbank subsidiaries, to an aggregate of 20% of the bank subsidiary’s capital and surplus. Further, covered transactions that are loans and extensions of credit generally are required to be secured by eligible collateral in specified amounts. Federal law also requires that covered transactions and certain other transactions listed in Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act between a bank and its affiliates be on terms as favorable to the bank as transactions with non-affiliates. Community Reinvestment Act. First Federal is subject to the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA), which requires the appropriate federal bank regulatory agency to assess a bank’s performance under the CRA in meeting the credit needs of the community serviced by the bank, including low-and moderate income neighborhoods. The regulatory agency’s assessment of a bank’s record is made available to the public. Further, a bank’s CRA performance rating must be considered in connection with a bank’s application, among other things, to establish a new branch office that will accept deposits; to relocate an existing office; or to merge or consolidate with, or acquire the assets or assume the liabilities of, a federally regulated financial institution. First Federal received a “satisfactory” rating during its most recent CRA examination. Privacy Standards. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (GLBA) modernized the financial services industry by establishing a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms and other financial service providers. First Federal is subject to FDIC regulations implementing the privacy protection provisions of the GLBA. These regulations require First Federal to disclose its privacy policy, including informing consumers of its information sharing practices and informing consumers of its rights to opt out of certain practices. Environmental Issues Associated with Real Estate Lending. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") is a federal statute that generally imposes strict liability on all prior and present "owners and operators" of sites containing hazardous waste. However, Congress asked to protect secured creditors by providing that the term "owner and operator" excludes a person whose ownership is limited to protecting its security interest in the site. Since the enactment of the CERCLA, this "secured creditor 46 exemption" has been the subject of judicial interpretations which have left open the possibility that lenders could be liable for cleanup costs on contaminated property that they hold as collateral for a loan. To the extent that legal uncertainty exists in this area, all creditors, including First Federal, that have made loans secured by properties with potential hazardous waste contamination (such as petroleum contamination) could be subject to liability for cleanup costs, which costs often substantially exceed the value of the collateral property. Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board requires that all depository institutions maintain reserves on transaction accounts or non-personal time deposits. These reserves may be in the form of cash or noninterest-bearing deposits with the regional Federal Reserve Bank. Negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts and other types of accounts that permit payments or transfers to third parties fall within the definition of transaction accounts and are subject to the reserve requirements, as are any non-personal time deposits at a savings bank. As of June 30, 2016, First Federal's deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank and vault cash exceeded its reserve requirements. Other Consumer Protection Laws and Regulations. The Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB and empowered it to exercise broad regulatory, supervisory and enforcement authority with respect to both new and existing consumer financial protection laws. First Federal is subject to consumer protection regulations issued by the CFPB, but as financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion, First Federal is generally subject to supervision and enforcement by the FDIC and the DFI with respect to compliance with consumer financial protection laws and CFPB regulations. First Federal is subject to a broad array of federal and state consumer protection laws and regulations that govern almost every aspect of its business relationships with consumers. While the list set forth below is not exhaustive, these include the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Right to Financial Privacy Act, the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act, the Consumer Leasing Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Homeowners Protection Act, the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, laws governing flood insurance, laws governing consumer protections in connection with the sale of insurance, federal and state laws prohibiting unfair and deceptive business practices, and various regulations that implement some or all of the foregoing. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits, making loans, collecting loans, and providing other services. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations can subject First Federal to various penalties including, but not limited to, enforcement actions, injunctions, fines, civil liability, criminal penalties, punitive damages, and the loss of certain contractual rights. Regulation and Supervision of First Northwest Bancorp General. First Northwest Bancorp is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve and the sole shareholder of First Federal. Bank holding companies are subject to comprehensive regulation by the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHCA”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder. This regulation and oversight is generally intended to ensure that First Northwest Bancorp limits its activities to those allowed by law and that it operates in a safe and sound manner without endangering the financial health of First Federal. As a bank holding company, First Northwest Bancorp is required to file quarterly and annual reports with the Federal Reserve and any additional information required by the Federal Reserve and is subject to regular examinations by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve also has extensive enforcement authority over bank holding companies, including the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to require that a holding company divest subsidiaries (including its bank subsidiaries). In general, enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of law and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. The Bank Holding Company Act. Under the BHCA, First Northwest Bancorp is supervised by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has a policy that a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act and earlier Federal Reserve policy provides that bank holding companies should serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks by being prepared to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity, and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A bank holding company's failure to meet its obligation to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will 47 generally be considered by the Federal Reserve to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the Federal Reserve's regulations, or both. Under the BHCA, the Federal Reserve may approve the ownership of shares by a bank holding company in any company the activities of which the Federal Reserve has determined to be so closely related to the business of banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. These activities generally include, among others, operating a savings institution, mortgage company, finance company, credit card company or factoring company; performing certain data processing operations; providing certain investment and financial advice; underwriting and acting as an insurance agent for certain types of credit-related insurance; leasing property on a full-payout, non-operating basis; selling money orders, travelers' checks and U.S. Savings Bonds; real estate and personal property appraising; providing tax planning and preparation services; and, subject to certain limitations, providing securities brokerage services for customers. Acquisitions. The BHCA prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from acquiring ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its subsidiaries. A bank holding company that meets certain supervisory and financial standards and elects to be designed as a financial holding company may also engage in certain securities, insurance and merchant banking activities and other activities determined to be financial in nature or incidental to financial activities. The BHCA prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from acquiring ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its subsidiaries. Regulatory Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve has adopted capital guidelines pursuant to which it assesses the adequacy of capital in examining and supervising a bank holding company and in analyzing applications under the BHCA. These guidelines apply on a consolidated basis to bank holding companies with $1.0 billion or more in assets, or with fewer assets but certain risky activities, and on a bank-only basis to other companies. These bank holding company capital adequacy guidelines are similar to those imposed on First Federal by the FDIC. For a bank holding company with less than $1.0 billion in total consolidated assets, the capital guidelines typically apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary banks to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. For additional information, see the section above entitled “- Regulation of First Federal - Capital Regulation” and Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8., "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K. Interstate Banking. The Federal Reserve must approve an application of a bank holding company to acquire control of, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, a bank located in a state other than the holding company's home state, without regard to whether the transaction is prohibited by the laws of any state. The Federal Reserve may not approve the acquisition of a bank that has not been in existence for the minimum time period, not exceeding five years, specified by the law of the host state. Nor may the Federal Reserve approve an application if the applicant controls or would control more than 10% of the insured deposits in the United States or 30% or more of the deposits in the target bank's home state or in any state in which the target bank maintains a branch. Federal law does not affect the authority of states to limit the percentage of total insured deposits in the state that may be held or controlled by a bank holding company to the extent such limitation does not discriminate against out-of-state banks or bank holding companies. Individual states may also waive the 30% state-wide concentration limit contained in the federal law. The federal banking agencies are authorized to approve interstate merger transactions without regard to whether the transaction is prohibited by the law of any state, unless the home state of one of the banks adopted a law prior to June 1, 1997, which applies equally to all out-of-state banks and expressly prohibits merger transactions involving out-of-state banks. Interstate acquisitions of branches will be permitted only if the law of the state in which the branch is located permits such acquisitions. Interstate mergers and branch acquisitions will also be subject to the nationwide and statewide insured deposit concentration amounts described above. Restrictions on Dividends. First Northwest Bancorp's ability to declare and pay dividends is subject to the Federal Reserve limits and Washington law, and it may depend on its ability to receive dividends from First Federal. A policy of the Federal Reserve limits the payment of a cash dividend by a bank holding company if the holding company's net income for the past year is not sufficient to cover both the cash dividend and a rate of earnings retention that is consistent with capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. A bank holding company that does not meet any applicable capital standard would not be able to pay any cash dividends under this 48 policy. A bank holding company not subject to consolidated capital requirements is expected not to pay dividends unless its debt-to-equity ratio is less than 1:1, and it meets certain additional criteria. The Federal Reserve also has indicated that it would be inappropriate for a company experiencing serious financial problems to borrow funds to pay dividends. Except for a company that meets the well-capitalized standard for bank holding companies, is well managed, and is not subject to any unresolved supervisory issues, a bank holding company is required to give the Federal Reserve prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of its outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding 12 months, is equal to 10.0% or more of the company's consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that the proposal would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law, regulation or regulatory order, condition, or written agreement. A bank holding company is considered well-capitalized if on a consolidated basis it has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0% and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or more, and is not subject to an agreement, order, or directive to maintain a specific level for any capital measure. Any material deviations from, or changes to, the business plan provided as part of the conversion and stock offering are subject to the prior written approval of the Regional Director of the FDIC-San Francisco. Under Washington corporate law, First Northwest Bancorp generally may not pay dividends if after that payment it would not be able to pay its liabilities as they become due in the usual course of business, or its total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities. Stock Repurchases. Any repurchases of our common stock during the three year period following the conversion is subject to the prior approval of the DFI and other bank regulatory agencies, as applicable. A bank holding company, except for certain “well-capitalized” and highly rated bank holding companies, is required to give the Federal Reserve prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of its outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding twelve months, is equal to 10% or more of its consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that the proposal would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law, regulation, Federal Reserve order or any condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the Federal Reserve. The Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank-Act imposes restrictions and an expanded framework of regulatory oversight for financial institutions, including depository institutions, and implemented new capital regulations that First Northwest Bancorp has become subject to and that are discussed above under “- Regulation of First Federal - Capital Regulations.” In addition, among other changes, the Dodd-Frank Act requires public companies, like First Northwest Bancorp, to (i) provide their shareholders with a non-binding vote (a) at least once every three years on the compensation paid to executive officers and (b) at least once every six years on whether they should have a “say on pay” vote every one, two or three years; (ii) have a separate, non-binding shareholder vote regarding golden parachutes for named executive officers when a shareholder vote takes place on mergers, acquisitions, dispositions or other transactions that would trigger the parachute payments; (iii) provide disclosure in annual proxy materials concerning the relationship between the executive compensation paid and the financial performance of the issuer; and (iv) amend Item 402 of Regulation S-K to require companies to disclose the ratio of the Chief Executive Officer's annual total compensation to the median annual total compensation of all other employees. For certain of these changes, the implementing regulations have not been promulgated, so the full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on public companies cannot be determined at this time. Federal Securities Law. The stock of First Northwest Bancorp is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result, First Northwest Bancorp is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. First Northwest Bancorp stock held by persons who are affiliates of First Northwest Bancorp may not be resold without registration unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. Affiliates are generally considered to be officers, directors and principal shareholders. If First Northwest Bancorp meets specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of First Northwest Bancorp will be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period. The SEC has adopted regulations and policies under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that apply to First Northwest Bancorp as a registered company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The stated goals of these Sarbanes-Oxley requirements are to increase corporate responsibility, provide for enhanced penalties for accounting 49 and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The SEC and Sarbanes-Oxley-related regulations and policies include very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees. Federal Taxation TAXATION General. First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize certain pertinent federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to First Northwest Bancorp or First Federal. First Federal is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ended before June 30, 2013. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K. First Northwest Bancorp anticipates that it will file a consolidated federal income tax return with First Federal commencing with the first taxable year after completion of the conversion. Accordingly, it is anticipated that any cash distributions made by First Northwest Bancorp to its shareholders would be considered to be taxable dividends and not as a return of capital to shareholders for federal and state tax purposes. Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, First Federal currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a fiscal year ending on June 30 for filing its federal income tax return. Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, called alternative minimum taxable income. The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent such alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an exemption amount. Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. First Federal has been subject to the alternative minimum tax, and at June 30, 2016 has credits for carryover of approximately $14,475. Corporate Deduction. First Northwest Bancorp may eliminate from its income dividends received from First Federal as a wholly owned subsidiary of First Northwest Bancorp if it elects to file a consolidated return with First Federal. The corporate dividends-received deduction is 100%, or 80%, in the case of dividends received from corporations with which a corporate recipient does not file a consolidated tax return, depending on the level of stock ownership of the payor of the dividend. Corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct 70% of dividends received or accrued on their behalf. Charitable Contribution Carryovers. The Company may carryforward charitable contributions to the succeeding five taxable years. The utilization of the charitable contribution carryforward may not exceed 10% of taxable income as defined by the federal taxation laws. At June 30, 2016, the Company had a charitable contribution carryforward for federal income tax purposes of $8.8 million. This carryforward was generated from the Company’s creation of the First Federal Community Foundation to which it contributed 933,360 shares of its common stock and $400,000 in cash in connection with the mutual to stock conversion. Management does not fully expect to utilize the benefit over the five year carryforward period and has recorded a reserve on the portion of the related deferred tax asset estimated to expire unused. Washington Taxation First Federal is subject to a business and occupation tax imposed under Washington law at the rate of 1.5% of gross receipts. Interest received on loans secured by mortgages or deeds of trust on residential properties and certain investment securities are exempt from this tax. 50 Item 1A. Risk Factors. Our increased emphasis on commercial real estate lending subjects us to various risks that could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. We have increased the amount of our commercial real estate and multi-family loans to $207.3 million, or 33.1% of our total loan portfolio, at June 30, 2016, from $97.1 million, or 23.7%, of our total loan portfolio at June 30, 2012. We intend to continue to increase, subject to market demand, our origination and purchase of commercial real estate loans. Our increased focus on this type of lending has increased our risk profile relative to traditional one- to four- family lenders. Commercial real estate loans are intended to enhance the average yield of our earning assets; however, they do involve a different level of risk of delinquency or collection than generally associated with one- to four-family loans for a number of reasons. The repayment of commercial real estate loans typically is dependent on the successful operation and income stream of the borrowers’ business, or the ability to lease the property at sufficient rates, and the value of the real estate securing the loan as collateral, which can be significantly affected by economic conditions. These loans also involve larger balances to a single borrower or groups of related borrowers. Some of our commercial borrowers have more than one loan outstanding with us. Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to a significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a single one- to four-family residential mortgage loan. Since commercial real estate loans generally have large balances, deterioration in the quality of commercial loans may result in the need to significantly increase our provision for loan losses and charge-offs will likely be larger on a per loan basis compared to consumer loans. As a result, deterioration of this portfolio could materially adversely affect our future earnings. Collateral evaluation and financial statement analysis in these types of loans also requires a more detailed analysis at the time of loan underwriting and on an ongoing basis. Finally, if we foreclose on a commercial real estate loan, our holding period for the collateral is typically longer than for a one- to four-family residence because the secondary market for most types of commercial real estate is not readily liquid, which results in less opportunity to mitigate credit risk by selling part or all of our interest in these assets. At June 30, 2016, we had $474,000 of nonperforming commercial real estate loans and no nonperforming multi-family loans in our portfolio. The unseasoned nature of our commercial loan portfolio may result in errors in judging its collectability, which may lead to additional provisions for loan losses or charge-offs, which would hurt our profits. Our commercial loan portfolio, which includes loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate as well as business assets, has increased to $224.2 million, or 35.8% of total loans, at June 30, 2016, from $109.4 million, or 26.7% of total loans, at June 30, 2012. Included in our commercial loan portfolio at June 30, 2016, were $17.2 million of purchased loans and loan participations. A large portion of our commercial loan portfolio is unseasoned, meaning they were originated recently. Our experience with these borrowers may not provide us with a significant payment history pattern. Further, First Federal has not experienced a downturn in economic conditions with these borrowers. As a result, it is difficult to predict the future performance of this part of our loan portfolio. These borrowers may develop delinquency or charge-off levels above our historical experience, which could adversely affect our future performance. We have a concentration of large loans outstanding to a limited number of borrowers that increases our risk of loss. First Federal has extended significant amounts of credit to a limited number of borrowers, largely in connection with high-end residential real estate and commercial and multi-family real estate loans. At June 30, 2016, the aggregate amount of loans, including unused commitments, to First Federal's five largest borrowers (including related entities) amounted to approximately $54.1 million, or 8.6% of total loans. Loans to the largest 20 borrowers at June 30, 2016 totaled $146.0 million, or 23.3% of total loans. At such date, none of the loans to First Federal's 20 largest borrowers were nonperforming loans. Concentration of credit to a limited number of borrowers increases the risk in First Federal's loan portfolio. In the event that one or more of these borrowers is not able to service the contractual repayment, the potential loss to First Federal is more likely to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 51 Slower growth in our primary market area has led us to originate and purchase loans outside of our historic market area which could affect the level of our nonperforming loans. We currently have full service offices on the North Olympic Peninsula, Kitsap County, and Whatcom County. The North Olympic Peninsula region, which represents our largest concentration of depositors and borrowers, has experienced limited population growth, and the region's unemployment rate is higher than both the state and national unemployment rates. As a result, we have been originating and purchasing loans outside of these areas, and we may purchase loans with different credit and underwriting criteria than those we originate organically. We have purchased loans, primarily secured by one- to four-family residential properties, of $59.2 million $26.1 million during the years ended June 30, 2016, and 2015, respectively. Loan pools purchased in the last two years consisted primarily of jumbo loans secured by single family residential properties located in Washington and California. At June 30, 2016, we had approximately $112.7 million of one- to four-family mortgage loans, $32.5 million of multi-family loans and $91.1 million of commercial real estate loans secured by properties located outside of the North Olympic Peninsula, Whatcom, and Kitsap counties. Included in the one- to four-family residential loans are $31.1 million and $13.9 million of one- to four-family mortgages secured by properties located in the states of California and Ohio, respectively. We also have multi-family and commercial real estate loans of $39.0 million and $104.9 million, respectively, located primarily around the Puget Sound region of Washington. We have not experienced significant loan delinquencies with these out of market area loans; however, declines in economic conditions or real estate values in these markets could significantly adversely affect the level of our nonperforming loans and our results of operations. Our construction and land loans are based upon estimates of costs and the value of the completed project. During the year ended June 30, 2016, our construction and land loans increased $31.2 million, or 163.2%, to $50.4 million, or 8.0%, of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2016 and consisted of properties secured by one- to four-family residential of $4.5 million, multi-family of $12.3 million, commercial real estate of $18.8 million, and land of $14.8 million. Land loans include raw land and land acquisition and development loans. Construction and land development lending generally involves additional risks when compared with permanent residential lending because funds are advanced upon estimates of costs in relation to values associated with the completed project that will produce a future value at completion. Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs, the market value of the completed project, the effects of governmental regulation on real property, and changes in demand, it is relatively difficult to evaluate accurately the total funds required to complete a project and the completed project loan-to-value ratio, which may cause actual results to vary significantly from those estimated. For these reasons, this type of lending also typically involves higher loan principal amounts and is often concentrated with a small number of builders. A downturn in housing, or the real estate market, could increase loan delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures, and significantly impair the value of our collateral and our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure. Some of our builders have more than one loan outstanding with us, and an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to a significantly greater risk of loss. In addition, during the term of most of our construction loans, no payment from the borrower is required since the accumulated interest is added to the principal of the loan through an interest reserve. As a result, these loans often involve the disbursement of funds with repayment substantially dependent on the successful outcome of the project and the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property or obtain permanent take-out financing, rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest. If our appraisal of the value of a completed project proves to be overstated, we may have inadequate security for the repayment of the loan upon completion of construction of the project and may incur a loss. Because construction loans require active monitoring of the building process, including cost comparisons and on-site inspections, these loans are more difficult and costly to monitor. Increases in market rates of interest may have a more pronounced effect on construction loans by rapidly increasing the end-purchasers' borrowing costs, thereby reducing the overall demand for the project. Properties under construction are often difficult to sell and typically must be completed in order to be successfully sold which also complicates the process of working out problem construction loans. This may require us to advance additional funds and/or contract with another builder to complete construction and assume the market risk of selling the project at a future market price, which may or may not enable us to fully recover unpaid loan funds and associated construction and liquidation costs. Furthermore, in the case of speculative construction loans, there is the added risk associated with identifying an end-purchaser for the finished project. At June 30, 2016, $7.3 million of our construction and land loans were for speculative construction. 52 We occasionally purchase loans in bulk or “pools.” We may experience lower yields or losses on loan “pools” because the assumptions we use when purchasing loans in bulk may not prove correct. In order to achieve our loan growth objectives and/or improve earnings, we may purchase loans, either individually, through participations, or in bulk. When we determine the purchase price we are willing to pay to purchase loans in bulk, management makes certain assumptions about, among other things, how fast borrowers will prepay their loans, the real estate market, our ability to collect loans successfully and, if necessary, our ability to dispose of any real estate that may be acquired through foreclosure. When we purchase loans in bulk, we perform certain due diligence procedures and typically require customary limited indemnities. To the extent that our underlying assumptions prove to be inaccurate or the basis for those assumptions change, the purchase price paid for “pools” of loans may prove to have been excessive, resulting in a lower yield or a loss of some or all of the loan principal. Our success in growing through purchases of loan “pools” depends on our ability to price loan “pools” properly and on the general economic conditions within the geographic areas where the underlying properties of our loans are located. For loans purchased outside of the state of Washington where management may not have substantial prior experience, the Bank typically relies on the seller or its assignee to service these loans. We may be exposed to greater risk of loss due to the inability of the Bank to directly negotiate with a delinquent borrower to recover principal and interest due in the event of default. Adverse economic conditions in the market areas we serve could adversely impact our earnings and could increase the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio. Our customer base has been historically concentrated in the North Olympic Peninsula of Washington, in particular Clallam, Jefferson and Kitsap counties. We recently expanded our lending area to include other counties surrounding the Puget Sound and, to a lesser extent, other parts of Washington. In the most recent economic downturn, the market areas we service experienced substantial home price declines, increased foreclosures and above average unemployment rates. Continued weakness or further deterioration of economic conditions in the market areas we serve could result in the following consequences, any of which could have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations: • • • • • loan delinquencies, problem assets and foreclosures may increase; demand for our products and services may decline, possibly resulting in a decrease in our total loans or assets; collateral for loans made may decline further in value, exposing us to increased risk of loss on existing loans and reducing customers’ borrowing power; the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; and the amount of our deposits may decrease and the composition of our deposits may be adversely affected. There are local factors that may have further adverse impact on the economies in our primary market areas. For example, a study that was released in early 2012 found that areas of the Port Angeles harbor contained high concentrated levels of pollution. Clean up requirements and associated costs could materially affect local businesses and the regional economy. In addition, the health care industry is a significant source of employment within the region. Rising costs as well as changing insurance reimbursement levels have adversely affected the health care industry in recent years. If these rising costs and adverse insurance reimbursement changes continue, many health care organizations may be forced to reduce their operations, which could result in a reduction of the number of jobs, which would adversely affect unemployment rates within the North Olympic Peninsula region of Washington. At June 30, 2016, $75.3 million, or 12.0%, of our total loans were located outside of the North Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound areas. Included in this amount are one-to four-family residential loans of $31.1 million and $13.9 million secured by properties located in the states of California and Ohio, respectively, with the balance of $22.9 million consisting primarily of real estate loans secured by properties throughout the state of Washington. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations will be subject to general economic conditions and the conditions in the real estate markets prevailing in the markets these loans are located as well as the North Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound markets. If economic conditions or if the real estate market declines in the areas these loans are located, we may suffer decreased net income or losses associated with higher default rates and decreased collateral values on our existing portfolio. In addition, real estate values in California may be affected by, among other things, earthquakes and other national disasters. Further, because of their geographical diversity, these loans can be more difficult to oversee than loans in our market areas in the event of delinquency. 53 Our branching strategy will cause our expenses to increase and may negatively affect our earnings. Over the past three years, we have opened two new full-service branches in Silverdale and Bellingham, Washington, and anticipate opening our second full-service branch in Bellingham and a home lending center (HLC) in Seattle, Washington during the first six months of fiscal 2017. We plan to continue opening new branches and HLCs, and the success of our expansion strategy into new markets is contingent upon numerous factors, such as our ability to select suitable locations, assess each market's competitive environment, secure managerial resources, hire and retain qualified personnel and implement effective marketing strategies. The opening of new offices may not increase the volume of our loans and deposits as quickly or to the degree that we hope, and opening new offices will increase our operating expenses. On average, de novo branches do not become profitable until three to four years after opening. We currently expect to lease rather than own the additional branches and HLC, and projected time lines and estimated dollar amounts involved in opening new offices could differ significantly from actual results. In addition, we may not successfully manage the costs and implementation risks associated with our branching strategy. Accordingly, any new branch or HLC may negatively impact our earnings for some period of time until the office reaches certain economies of scale, and there is a risk that our new offices will not be successful even after they have been established. Our business may be adversely affected by credit risk associated with residential property. At June 30, 2016, $342.4 million, or 54.7% of our total loan portfolio, consisted of one- to four-family mortgage loans and home equity loans secured by residential properties. Lending on residential property is generally sensitive to regional and local economic conditions that significantly impact the ability of borrowers to meet their loan payment obligations, making loss levels difficult to predict. Declines in residential real estate values securing these types of loans may increase the level of borrower defaults and losses above the recent charge-off experience on these loans. Net charge-offs of one- to four-family residential and home equity loans secured by residential properties during fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014 totaled $25,000, $623,000 and $918,000, respectively, or 23.8%, 64.8% and 75.9% of total net charge-offs during these periods, respectively. Further, a significant amount of our home equity lines of credit consist of second mortgage loans. For those home equity lines secured by a second mortgage, it is unlikely that we will be successful in recovering all or a portion of our loan balances in the event of default unless we are prepared to repay the first mortgage loan and such repayment and the costs associated with a foreclosure are justified by the value of the property. For these reasons we may experience higher rates of delinquencies, default and losses on loans secured by junior liens. Our non-owner-occupied residential real estate loans may expose us to increased credit risk. At June 30, 2016, $34.9 million, or 5.6% of our total loan portfolio, was secured by non-owner-occupied residential properties consisting of one- to four-family and home equity loans. Loans secured by non-owner- occupied properties generally expose a lender to greater risk of nonpayment and loss than loans secured by owner- occupied properties because repayment of such loans depends primarily on the tenant’s continuing ability to pay rent to the property owner, who is our borrower, or, if the property owner is unable to find a tenant, the property owner’s ability to repay the loan without the benefit of a rental income stream. In addition, the physical condition of non- owner-occupied properties is often below that of owner-occupied properties due to lax property maintenance standards, which has a negative impact on the value of the collateral properties. Furthermore, some of our non- owner-occupied residential loan borrowers have more than one loan outstanding with us, which may expose us to a greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to an owner-occupied residential mortgage loan. Repayment of our commercial business loans is often dependent on the cash flows of the borrower, which may be unpredictable, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. At June 30, 2016, we had $16.9 million, or 2.7% of total loans, in commercial business loans. Commercial business lending involves risks that are different from those associated with residential and commercial real estate lending. Real estate lending is generally considered to be collateral based lending with loan amounts based on predetermined loan to collateral values, with liquidation of the underlying real estate collateral being viewed as the primary source of repayment in the event of borrower default. Our commercial business loans are primarily made based on the cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The borrowers' cash flow may be unpredictable, and collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Although commercial business loans are often collateralized by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, or other business 54 assets, the liquidation of collateral in the event of default is often an insufficient source of repayment because accounts receivable may be uncollectible and inventories may be obsolete or of limited use, among other things. A portion of our loan portfolio is serviced by third parties, which may limit our ability to foreclose on such loans. At June 30, 2016, $51.8 million of our one- to four-family and $671,000 of our commercial real estate loan portfolios were serviced by third parties. When a loan goes into default, it is the responsibility of the third-party servicer to enforce the borrower’s obligation to repay the outstanding indebtedness. We are reliant on the servicer to bring the loan current, enter into a satisfactory loan modification or foreclose on the property on behalf of First Federal. We must comply with any loan modification entered into by the servicer even if we would not otherwise agree to the modified terms, which may result in a reduction in our interest income due to the loan modification. Delays in foreclosing on property, whether caused by restrictions under state or federal law or the failure of a third party servicer to timely pursue foreclosure action, can increase our potential loss on such property, due to factors such as lack of maintenance, unpaid property taxes and adverse changes in market conditions. These delays may adversely affect our ability to limit our credit losses. Our lending limit may restrict our growth. Washington law provides that Washington chartered savings banks, such as First Federal, are subject to the same loans to one borrower restrictions as Washington chartered commercial banks, which restricts total loans and extensions of credit by a bank to 20% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. As a result, under Washington law, First Federal would be limited to loans to one borrower of $28.0 million at June 30, 2016. Under its current policy, First Federal has elected to restrict its loans to one borrower to no more than 18% of its unimpaired capital plus surplus or $18.0 million, whichever is less, unless specifically approved by the board loan/asset quality committee as an exception to policy. At June 30, 2016, 18% of First Federal's unimpaired capital was $22.6 million, and under this policy, loans to one borrower would have been $18.0 million. This amount is significantly less than that of many of our competitors and may discourage potential commercial borrowers who have credit needs in excess of our loans to one borrower lending limit from doing business with us. Our loans to one borrower restriction also impacts the efficiency of our commercial lending operation because it lowers our average loan size, which means we have to generate a higher number of transactions to achieve the same portfolio volume. We can accommodate larger loans by selling participations in those loans to other financial institutions, but this strategy is not the most efficient or always available. We may not be able to attract or maintain clients seeking larger loans or may not be able to sell participations in these loans on terms we consider favorable. Our allowance for loan losses may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses in our loan portfolio. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, we review our loans and our loss and delinquency experience, and we evaluate economic conditions. If our assumptions are incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio, resulting in additions to our allowance for loan losses through the provision for losses on loans which is charged against income. Additionally, pursuant to our growth strategy, management recognizes that significant new loan growth, new loan products, and the refinancing of existing loans, resulting in portfolios comprised of unseasoned loans that may not perform in a historical or projected manner, may increase the risk that our allowance may be insufficient to absorb losses without significant additional provisions. Material additions to our allowance could materially decrease our net income. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for possible loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. In addition, if charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance for loan losses we will need additional provisions to replenish the allowance for loan losses. Any additional provisions will result in a decrease in net income and possibly capital, and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If our nonperforming assets increase, our earnings will be adversely affected. At June 30, 2016, our nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccruing loans and real estate owned, were $3.3 million, or 0.3% of total assets. Our nonperforming assets adversely affect our net income in various ways: 55 • we record interest income on a cash basis only for nonaccrual loans and any nonperforming investment securities and we do not record interest income for real estate owned; • we must provide for probable loan losses through a current period charge to the provision for loan losses; • noninterest expense increases when we write down the value of properties in our real estate owned portfolio to reflect changing market values or recognize other-than-temporary impairment on nonperforming investment securities; there are legal fees associated with the resolution of problem assets, as well as carrying costs, such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance fees related to our real estate owned; and the resolution of nonperforming assets requires the active involvement of management, which can distract them from more profitable activity. • • If additional borrowers become delinquent and do not pay their loans and we are unable to successfully manage our nonperforming assets, our losses and troubled assets could increase significantly, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our securities portfolio may be negatively impacted by fluctuations in market value and interest rates. Our securities portfolio may be impacted by fluctuations in market value, potentially reducing accumulated other comprehensive income and/or earnings, both of which could adversely affect the value of our equity. Fluctuations in market value may be caused by changes in market interest rates, lower market prices for securities, and limited investor demand. Our securities portfolio is evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment, and if this evaluation shows impairment to the actual or projected cash flows associated with one or more securities, a potential loss to earnings and/or a decline in other comprehensive income may occur. There can be no assurance that declines in market value will not result in other-than-temporary impairments of these assets, which would lead to accounting charges that could have a material adverse effect on our net income and capital levels. If our real estate owned is not properly valued or declines further in value, our earnings could be reduced. We obtain updated valuations in the form of appraisals and tax assessed values when a loan has been foreclosed and the property taken in as real estate owned and at certain other times during the asset’s holding period. Our net book value of the loan at the time of foreclosure and thereafter is compared to the updated market value of the foreclosed property less estimated selling costs (fair value). A charge-off is recorded for any excess in the asset’s net book value over its fair value. If our valuation process is incorrect, or if property values decline, the fair value of our real estate owned may not be sufficient to recover our carrying value in such assets, resulting in the need for additional charge-offs. In addition, bank regulators periodically review our real estate owned and may require us to recognize further charge-offs. Significant charge-offs to our real estate owned could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We are subject to interest rate risk. Our earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon our net interest income. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest we receive on loans and investments and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, but these changes could also affect (i) our ability to originate and/or sell loans (ii) the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities, which could negatively impact shareholders' equity, and our ability to realize gains from sales of such assets; (iii) our ability to obtain and retain deposits in competition with other available investment alternatives; (iv) the ability of our borrowers to repay adjustable or variable rate loans; and (v) the average duration of our mortgage-backed securities portfolio and other interest-earning assets. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, our net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and other investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings. Although management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management strategies to reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on our results of operations, any substantial, unexpected or prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Also, our interest rate risk modeling techniques and assumptions likely may not fully predict or capture the impact of actual interest rate changes on our balance sheet. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and 56 Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk,” of this Form 10-K. Decreased volumes and lower gains on sales of mortgage loans sold could adversely impact our noninterest income. We originate and sell one- to four-family mortgage loans. Our mortgage banking income is a significant portion of our noninterest income. We generate gains on the sale of one- to four-family mortgage loans pursuant to programs currently offered by Freddie Mac and other secondary market purchasers. Any future changes in their purchase programs, our eligibility to participate in such programs, the criteria for loans to be accepted or laws that significantly affect the activity of such entities could, in turn, materially adversely affect our results of operations. Further, in a rising or higher interest rate environment, our originations of mortgage loans may decrease, resulting in fewer loans that are available to be sold to investors. This would result in a decrease in mortgage banking revenues and a corresponding decrease in noninterest income. In addition, our results of operations are affected by the amount of noninterest expense associated with mortgage banking activities, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, equipment and data processing expense and other operating costs. During periods of reduced loan demand, our results of operations may be adversely affected to the extent that we are unable to reduce expenses commensurate with the decline in loan originations. In addition, although we sell loans into the secondary market without recourse, we are required to give customary representations and warranties about the loans to the buyers. If we breach those representations and warranties, the buyers may require us to repurchase the loans and we may incur a loss on the repurchase. We are dependent on key personnel and the loss of one or more of those key persons may materially and adversely affect our prospects. We rely heavily on the efforts and abilities of our executive officers, and certain other key management personnel, which make up our management team. The loss of the services of any of our current management team could have a material adverse impact on our operations because we would most likely have to search outside of First Federal for qualified replacements. The ability to attract, retain and season replacements to our management team presents risks to executing our business plan. The search for new management may be prolonged as our current market area is considered remote. This characteristic may make it more difficult for us to find qualified replacements willing to relocate to a smaller community like ours. Changes in our current management team and their responsibilities may be disruptive to our business and operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. While we believe that our relationship with our management team is good, we cannot guarantee that all members of our management team will remain with our organization. If we are unable to effectively integrate new personnel hired to carry out our business plan our business may be adversely affected. We have recently hired a number of experienced bankers, and we expect to hire additional personnel in order to successfully implement our business plan. The difficulties in hiring and training new personnel include integrating personnel with different business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures, while retaining other key employees. The process of integrating personnel could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, our operations and the loss of customers and key personnel. In addition, we may not realize expected revenue increases and other projected benefits from the increased emphasis in these areas. Any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with integrating and growing this portion of our operations could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations or otherwise adversely affect our ability to achieve anticipated results. Our consideration of whole bank or branch acquisitions may expose us to financial, execution and operational risks that could adversely affect us. We may evaluate supplementing organic growth by acquiring other financial institutions or their businesses that we believe will help us fulfill our strategic objectives and enhance our earnings. There are risks associated with this strategy, however, including the following: • We may be exposed to potential asset quality issues or unknown or contingent liabilities of the financial institutions, businesses, assets and liabilities we acquire. If these issues or liabilities exceed our estimates, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially negatively affected; 57 • Our growth initiatives may require us to recruit experienced personnel to assist in such initiatives, which will increase our compensation costs. The failure to identify, hire and retain such personnel would place significant limitations on our ability to execute our growth strategy; • Our strategic efforts may divert resources or management’s attention from ongoing business operations and may subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny; • The acquisition of other entities generally requires integration of systems, procedures and personnel of the acquired entity into our company to make the transaction economically successful. This integration process is complicated and time consuming and can also be disruptive to the customers of the acquired business. If the integration process is not conducted successfully and with minimal effect on the acquired business and its customers, we may not realize the anticipated economic benefits of particular acquisitions within the expected time frame, and we may lose customers or employees of the acquired business. We may also experience greater than anticipated customer losses even if the integration process is successful; • To finance a future acquisition, we may borrow funds, thereby increasing our leverage and diminishing our liquidity, or raise additional capital, which could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders; and • We expect our income will increase following our acquisitions; however, we also expect our general and administrative expenses to increase. We operate in a highly competitive industry. We face substantial competition in all areas of our operations from a variety of different competitors, many of which are larger and may have more financial resources. These competitors primarily include national, regional and Internet banks within the various markets in which we operate. We also face competition from many other types of financial institutions, including savings and loans, credit unions, mortgage banking finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies and other financial intermediaries. The financial services industry could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and continued consolidation. Also, technology has lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for nonbanks to offer products and services traditionally provided by banks, such as automatic transfer and automatic payment systems. Competitors in these nonbank sectors may have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost structures. Additionally, due to their size, many competitors may be able to achieve economies of scale and, as a result, may offer a broader range of products and services as well as better pricing for those products and services than we can. Failure to perform in any of these areas could significantly weaken our competitive position, which could adversely affect our growth and profitability and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We participate in a multiple employer defined benefit pension plan for the benefit of our employees. If we were to withdraw from this plan, or if the plan sponsor requires us to make additional contributions, we could incur a substantial expense which would negatively impact our earnings. We participate in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions, a multiple employer pension plan for the benefit of our employees. Effective February 1, 2006, we did not allow additional employees to participate in this plan. On January 31, 2010, we froze the future accrual of benefits under this plan with respect to participating employees. Pentegra, as sponsor of the plan, may request that we make additional contributions to the plan in excess of the contributions that we are regularly required to make, or obtain a letter of credit in favor of the plan, if our financial condition declines to the point that it triggers certain criteria contained in the plan. If we fail to make the contribution or obtain the requested letter of credit, then we may be forced to withdraw from the plan and establish a separate, single employer defined benefit plan at a substantial expense to us and that we anticipate would be underfunded to a similar extent as under the multiple employer plan. Non-compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act, Bank Secrecy Act, or other laws and regulations could result in fines or sanctions and limit our ability to get regulatory approval of acquisitions and new branches. The USA PATRIOT and Bank Secrecy Acts require financial institutions to develop programs to prevent financial institutions from being used for money laundering and terrorist activities. If such activities are detected, financial institutions are obligated to file suspicious activity reports with the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. These rules require financial institutions to establish procedures for identifying and verifying the identity of customers seeking to open new financial accounts. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in fines or sanctions and limit our ability to get regulatory approval of acquisitions and new branch locations. Recently, several banking institutions have received large fines for non-compliance with these laws and regulations. While we have developed policies and procedures designed to assist in compliance with these laws and 58 regulations, no assurance can be given that these policies and procedures will be effective in preventing violations of these laws and regulations. We operate in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations. We are subject to extensive examination, supervision and comprehensive regulation by the FDIC as insurer of our deposits, and by the DFI. As a bank holding company, First Northwest Bancorp is subject to examination and supervision by the Federal Reserve. Such regulation and supervision will govern the activities in which we may engage, primarily for the protection of depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund. These regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the ability to impose restrictions on an institution’s operations, require additional capital, reclassify assets, determine the adequacy of an institution’s allowance for loan losses and determine the level of deposit insurance premiums assessed. Any future changes to the laws, rules and regulations applicable to us could make compliance more difficult and expensive, or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition or prospects. We are also subject to tax, accounting, securities, insurance, monetary laws and regulations, rules, standards, policies, and interpretations that control the methods by which financial institutions conduct business. These may change significantly over time, which could materially impact our business and have a significant adverse effect on our cost of regulatory compliance and results of operations. Further, changes in accounting standards and their interpretation may materially impact how we report, potentially retroactively, our financial condition and results of operations. The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt and implement a broad range of new rules and regulations for which they are given significant discretion in drafting and implementation. Consequently, many of the details and impact of the Dodd-Frank Act are not known, and it is difficult at this time to predict when or how these new standards will ultimately be applied to us or, specifically, what impact the Dodd-Frank Act will have on community banks in general. It is expected that, at a minimum, rules related to the Dodd-Frank Act will increase our operating and compliance costs and could increase our non-interest expense. The CFPB, which was created under the Dodd-Frank Act, has issued, and continues to issue, rules related to consumer protection, including The Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act Integrated disclosure (TRID), which combines certain disclosures that consumers receive in connection with applying for and closing a mortgage loan. These CFPB rules, most of which thus far have pertained to mortgage originations, including rules generally prohibiting creditors from extending mortgage loans without regard for the consumer's ability to repay, may adversely affect the volume of mortgage loans that we underwrite and subject us to increased potential liabilities related to such residential loan origination activities. The CFPB has adopted a number of additional requirements and issued additional guidance, including with respect to indirect auto lending, appraisals, escrow accounts and servicing, each of which will entail increased compliance costs. We are subject to certain risks in connection with our use of technology. We rely heavily on in-house and third-party service providers for communications, information, operating and financial control systems technology, including our Internet banking services and data processing systems. Any failure or interruption of these services or systems or breaches in security of these systems could result in failures or interruptions in our customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan servicing and/or loan origination systems. The occurrence of any failures or interruptions could damage our reputation and result in a loss of customers and business, could subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or could expose us to legal liability. Any of these could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. While we have taken steps to adequately secure our computer systems, software, and networks, and assure our vendors have adequate security over technology-based systems we outsource from them, those security measures may not be sufficient to mitigate the risk of a cyber-attack, and therefore we may be vulnerable to breaches, unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses, or other malicious code that could have a security impact. A security breach could lead to the disclosure of confidential bank or customer information contained within our, or our vendor's, computer systems and networks and/or cause a significant disruption of service in our operations or the operations of our customers or counterparties, which could subject us to litigation, financial losses, and reputational damage. 59 Our business may be adversely affected by an increasing prevalence of fraud and other financial crimes. Our loans to businesses and individuals and our deposit relationships and related transactions are subject to exposure to the risk of loss due to fraud and other financial crimes. Nationally, reported incidents of fraud and other financial crimes have increased, and while we have policies and procedures designed to prevent such losses, there can be no assurance that we will not incur such losses.

Effective July 1, 2015, our branch in Poulsbo was closed and all accounts were moved to the new location in Silverdale. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General First Northwest Bancorp (or the "Company") is a bank holding company which primarily engages in the business activity of its subsidiary, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles ("First Federal" or the "Bank"). First Federal is a community-oriented financial institution serving Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, and Whatcom counties of Washington, including a full-service banking office that was opened during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 in Bellingham, Washington, which is located in Whatcom County, through our ten full-service banking offices. We offer a wide range of products and services focused on the lending and depository needs of the communities we serve. While we have a large concentration of first lien one- to four-family mortgage loans, we have revised our operating strategy to diversify our loan portfolio, expand our deposit product offerings, and enhance our infrastructure. We have increased the origination of commercial real estate and multi-family real estate loans, and decreased reliance on originating and retaining longer-term, fixed-rate, residential mortgage loans. We may sell conforming single-family owner-occupied fixed-rate mortgage loans into the secondary market to increase noninterest income and improve our interest rate risk, or we may retain select loans in our portfolio to enhance interest income. We offer traditional consumer and business deposit products, including transaction accounts, savings and money market accounts and certificates of deposit for individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations. Deposits are our primary source of funds for our lending and investing activities. 65 As part of our planned expansion into new markets, we have secured a lease agreement for a second full- service branch located in Bellingham, Washington, and a home lending center ("HLC") in Seattle, Washington, which has been approved by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and Department of Financial Institutions of Washington ("DFI"). The new branch in Bellingham, Washington will offer similar deposit, lending, and investment products and services as other branch locations and will utilize technology in the form of interactive teller machines, and the HLC will be primarily focused on the origination of loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties, which may be sold into the secondary market or retained in our loan portfolio, subject to management's assessment of interest rate risk and interest income levels. First Federal is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, available alternative investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles. Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest that we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services, including service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage banking income, earnings from bank-owned life insurance, and gains and losses from sales of securities. An offset to net interest income is the provision for loan losses, which represents the periodic charge to operations which is required to adequately provide for probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. As a loan's risk rating improves, property values increase, or recoveries of amounts previously charged off are received, a recapture of previously recognized provision for loan losses may be added to net interest income. The noninterest expenses we incur in operating our business consist of salaries and employee benefits and expenses, occupancy and equipment expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments, data processing expenses, expenses related to real estate and personal property owned and other miscellaneous expenses. Salaries and employee benefits consist primarily of salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for health insurance, retirement plans and other employee benefits, including employee compensation expenses stemming from recognition of expense related to the employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") and the adoption of new equity benefit plans. The actual amount of these new stock-related compensation and benefit expenses are based on the fair market value of the shares of common stock at specific points in the future, and it is difficult to determine exactly what those costs will be. Our Business and Operating Strategy Throughout most of our over 90-year history, we have operated as a traditional savings and loan association, attracting deposits and investing those funds primarily in residential mortgage loans and investment securities. Recognizing our need to adapt to changing market conditions, we revised our operating strategy to diversify our loan portfolio, expand our deposit product offerings, and enhance our infrastructure. Certain highlights of our operations in recent years are as follows: • Expanding our branch footprint. Over the past three years, we have opened two new full-service branches in Silverdale and Bellingham, Washington. Through these new branches, we have realized growth in deposits and expanded our ability to secure customer relationships outside of our historic market areas of Clallam and Jefferson counties. We anticipate opening a second full-service branch located in Bellingham, Washington, and HLC in Seattle, Washington in fiscal 2017. • Repositioning the loan portfolio. We have significantly increased the origination of commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, and construction and land loans. This has been done to increase the yield on our loan portfolio, reduce our exposure to interest rate risk, and shorten the maturity of the loan portfolio. • Adding new deposit capabilities. Historically, we have offered traditional consumer and business deposit products. Over the past several years, we have added remote deposit capture, consumer and business on- line banking and consumer mobile banking capabilities. At our new branch locations in Silverdale and 66 Bellingham, Washington, we have implemented interactive teller machines, allowing our customers to conduct business with a teller through the video monitor. The board and management remain committed to maintaining competitive deposit products and services. • Enhancing our infrastructure. Over the past several years, we have focused on upgrading our infrastructure, both in terms of equipment and personnel, in order to support our changing lending and deposit capabilities and position ourselves for growth. Our objective is to develop First Federal into an independent, high performing bank focused on meeting the needs of individuals, small businesses and community organizations throughout the North Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound region with our exceptional service and competitive products. We intend to implement these strategies to achieve our objective: • Increasing our portfolio of higher yielding commercial loans. Through increased loan originations and purchases, we intend to increase our loan to deposit ratio and the percentage of our loan portfolio consisting of higher-yielding commercial real estate and commercial business loans. These loan categories offer higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations than traditional fixed-rate, one- to four-family residential loans. Our commercial real estate, commercial business and multi-family real estate loans have increased from $109.4 million, or 26.7% of total loans, at June 30, 2012, to $224.2 million, or 35.8% of total loans, at June 30, 2016. The increase resulted in part from developing relationships with new loan referral sources, including our board of directors and loan brokers, pursuing loan purchase and participation opportunities, competing successfully in new and existing markets, and benefiting from the improvement of the economy in northwestern Washington. We have also increased our lending for construction and land loans, consisting primarily of commercial real estate and multi-family construction. Our construction and land loans have increased to $50.4 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $22.7 million at June 30, 2012. • Maintaining our focus on asset quality. We believe that strong asset quality is a key to our long-term financial success. We are focused on monitoring existing performing loans, resolving nonperforming loans and selling foreclosed assets. Nonperforming assets have decreased from $13.0 million at June 30, 2012, to $3.3 million at June 30, 2016. The level of our nonperforming assets has been reduced through write- downs, collections, modifications and sales of real estate owned and repossessed assets. We have taken proactive steps to resolve our nonperforming loans, including negotiating repayment plans, forbearances, loan modifications and loan extensions with our borrowers when appropriate. We have also accepted short payoffs on delinquent loans, particularly when such payoffs result in a smaller loss to us than foreclosure. We also retain the services of independent firms to periodically review segments of our loan portfolio and provide comments regarding our loan policies and procedures. • Attracting core deposits and other deposit products. Our strategy is to emphasize relationship banking with our customers to obtain a greater share of their deposits, with specific emphasis on their core transaction accounts. We believe this emphasis will help to increase our level of core deposits and locally- based retail certificates of deposit. In addition to our retail branches, we maintain state-of-the-art technology-based products, such as on-line personal financial management, business online banking, business remote deposit products, mobile remote deposit services through smartphones and tablets, account-to-account transfer services between First Federal and other banks, and person to person funds transfer through smartphones and tablets that enable us to compete effectively with banks of all sizes. We recently enhanced our integrated mobile banking platform by introducing applications for both smartphones and tablets and we have begun implementing a new branching structure that includes extended banking hours through the use of interactive teller machines. • Expanding our market presence and capturing business opportunities resulting from changes in the competitive environment. By delivering high quality, customer-focused products and services, we believe we can attract additional borrowers and depositors and thus increase our market share and revenue generation in our primary market area. We intend to continue our franchise growth by opening two additional full-service branches, including our second branch in Bellingham, Washington, and a home lending center in Seattle, Washington over the next two years. We also expect that community bank consolidation will continue to take place and we may consider acquiring individual branches or other banks. We do not, however, currently have any understandings or agreements regarding any specific acquisitions and will be disciplined when evaluating and deciding on future acquisitions, recognizing that there may also be opportunity for increasing our market share as a result of customer dissatisfaction from other transactions or changes in strategy of market competitors. Our primary focus for expansion will be in the Northwest Washington markets we know and understand, although we may consider opportunities that arise in other parts of Western Washington. 67 • Hiring experienced employees with a customer sales and service focus. Our goal is to compete by relying on the strength of our customer service and relationship building. We believe that our ability to continue to attract and retain banking professionals who have a significant knowledge of existing and new market areas, possess strong business banking sales and service skills, and maintain a focus on community relationships will enhance our success. We intend to hire additional lenders and business development officers who are established in their communities to enhance our market position and add profitable growth opportunities. Critical Accounting Policies We have certain accounting policies that are important to the assessment of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." The following represent our critical accounting policies: Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are: the likelihood of default; the loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash flows on impaired loans; the value of collateral; and the determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Management reviews, and the board of directors approves, at least quarterly, the level of the allowance and the provision for loan losses based on past loss experience, current economic conditions and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the FDIC and the DFI, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgment about information available at the time of their examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions for loan losses to replenish the allowance, which would adversely affect earnings. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Mortgage Servicing Rights. We record mortgage servicing rights on loans originated and subsequently sold into the secondary market. We stratify our capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the type, term and interest rates of the underlying loans. Mortgage servicing rights are initially recognized at fair value. The value is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis, which uses interest rates, prepayment speeds and delinquency rate assumptions as inputs. All of these assumptions require a significant degree of management judgment. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, the value of our mortgage servicing rights could be negatively affected. See Notes 1 and 6 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Income Taxes. Management makes estimates and judgments to calculate certain tax liabilities and to determine the recoverability of certain deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenues and expenses. We also estimate a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. These estimates and judgments are inherently subjective. In evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, recent cumulative losses - both capital and operating - and the forecast of future taxable income, both capital gains and operating. In determining future taxable income, management makes assumptions for the amount of taxable income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require judgments about future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates to manage our business. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period and could have a significant impact on future earnings. 68 Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets. Real estate owned and repossessed assets include real estate and personal property acquired through foreclosure or repossession, and may include in-substance foreclosed properties. In- substance foreclosed properties are those properties for which the institution has taken physical possession, regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have taken place. At the time of foreclosure, foreclosed real estate is recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new cost basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and property held for sale is carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Impairment losses on property to be held and used are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a property exceeds its fair value. Fair Value. Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates. New Accounting Pronouncements For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements and their impact on the Company, see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 Assets. Total assets increased $73.3 million, or 7.8%, to $1.0 billion at June 30, 2016, from $936.8 million at June 30, 2015, primarily due to an increase of $131.9 million, or 27.0%, in net loans receivable to $619.8 million at June 30, 2016 from $487.9 million at June 30, 2015, partially offset by a decrease of $36.7 million, or 10.2%, in total investment securities to $323.9 million at June 30, 2016 from $360.6 million at June 30, 2015, and a decrease of $22.3 million in cash and cash equivalents to $22.7 million at June 30, 2016 from $45.0 million at June 30, 2015. Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $132.1 million, or 26.7%, to $626.0 million at June 30, 2016, from $493.9 million at June 30, 2015. The increase in the portfolio was primarily the result of an increase of $51.8 million, or 20.2%, of one- to four-family residential loans to $308.5 million at June 30, 2016 from $256.7 million at June 30, 2015, the result of originations of $51.3 million and purchases of $55.1 million, partially offset by normal repayment and amortization activity. One- to four-family loan pool purchases consisted primarily of jumbo loans located in Washington and California. In addition, we participated in a multi-family construction loan secured by a property located in Washington for $4.0 million. Commercial real estate loans increased $35.6 million, or 28.3%, to $161.2 million at June 30, 2016 from $125.6 million at June 30, 2015, multi-family loans increased $13.0 million, or 39.3%, to $46.1 million at June 30, 2016 from $33.1 million at June 30, 2015, and commercial business loans increased $2.2 million, or 14.9%, to $16.9 million at June 30, 2016 from $14.8 million at June 30, 2015, as we continue to focus on increasing our commercial lending activity. Construction and land loans increased $31.2 million, or 163.2%, to $50.4 million at June 30, 2016 from $20.5 million at June 30, 2015. There were $29.9 million in undisbursed construction commitments at June 30, 2016 compared to $7.9 million at June 30, 2015. Undisbursed construction commitments at June 30, 2016 included $7.9 million of mainly custom one- to four-family residential construction; $12.5 million multi-family construction located in the Puget Sound region; and $9.5 million commercial real estate construction consisting of $5.5 million of speculative construction and other commercial real estate located primarily in the Puget Sound region. These increases were offset by a decrease in total consumer loans of $1.7 million, or 3.8%, to $42.9 million at June 30, 2016 from $44.6 million at June 30, 2015, primarily the result of a reduction of $2.5 million, or 6.8% in home equity loans. We continue to reduce our reliance on purchased commercial and multi-family real estate loans and focus on organic growth in these portfolios of loans; however, we do continue to evaluate loan purchases and participations to supplement our loan growth and increase our yield on interest earning assets. We continue to focus on increasing our loan balances as a percentage of earning assets. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company originated $217.0 million of loans, of which $78.1 million, or 36.0%, were originated in the North Olympic Peninsula, $122.8 million, or 56.6%, in the Puget Sound region of Washington, and $16.1 million, or 7.4%, in other areas in Washington. Our allowance for loan losses increased $128,000, or 1.8%, to $7.2 million at June 30, 2016 from $7.1 million at June 30, 2015, and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans declined 20 basis points from 1.4% at June 30, 2015, to 1.2% at June 30, 2016. The slight increase in the allowance for loan losses and 69 decrease as a percentage of total loans reflects both the increase in our loan portfolio and improving asset quality as nonperforming loans, classified loans, and net charge-offs decreased during the year. Loans receivable, excluding loans held for sale, consisted of the following at the dates indicated: June 30, 2016 June 30, 2015 (In thousands) Real Estate: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Total real estate loans Consumer: Home equity Other consumer Total consumer loans Commercial business loans Total loans Less: Net deferred loan fees Premium on purchased loans, net Allowance for loan losses Total loans receivable, net $ 308,471 $ 46,125 161,182 50,351 566,129 33,909 9,023 42,932 16,924 625,985 1,182 (2,280) 7,239 $ 619,844 $ 256,696 33,086 125,623 19,127 434,532 36,387 8,198 44,585 14,764 493,881 840 (1,957) 7,111 487,887 Nonperforming loans decreased $1.6 million, or 32.7%, to $3.3 million at June 30, 2016, from $4.9 million at June 30, 2015. During the year ended June 30, 2016, nonperforming one- to four-family residential loans decreased $1.8 million, construction and land loans decreased $68,000, other consumer loans decreased $52,000, and home equity loans decreased $14,000, partially offset by a $327,000 increase in nonperforming commercial real estate loans. Nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 0.5% at June 30, 2016 from 1.0% at June 30, 2015, and real estate owned and repossessed assets decreased $1.8 million to $81,000 at June 30, 2016, from $1.9 million at June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of sales of one- to four-family real estate. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased 52.7% to 222.3% at June 30, 2016 from 145.6% at June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2016, there were $6.5 million in restructured loans, of which $5.6 million were performing in accordance with their modified payment terms and returned to accrual status. Classified loans decreased by $5.3 million, or 53.5%, to $4.6 million at June 30, 2016, from $9.9 million at June 30, 2015. 70 The following table represents nonperforming assets and troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") at the dates indicated.

Mortgage-backed securities represent the largest portion of our investment securities portfolio and totaled $223.9 million at June 30, 2016, a decrease of $6.4 million, or 2.8%, from $230.3 million at June 30, 2015. Other investment securities, including municipal bonds and other asset-backed securities, were $100.0 million at June 30, 2016, a decrease of $30.3 million, or 23.2% from $130.2 million at June 30, 2015. During the year, we sold available-for-sale securities at a net gain, primarily to offset prepayment penalties on the early repayment of our FHLB advances, and reinvested a portion of the cash proceeds into certain U.S. Treasury and 71 government agency issued securities and mortgage-backed securities. The average life of the total investment securities portfolio was 4.2 years at June 30, 2016 and 4.7 years at June 30, 2015. The investment portfolio contains 85.1% of amortizing securities at June 30, 2016, and the projected average life of our securities may vary due to prepayment activity, which, particularly in the mortgage-backed securities portfolio, is generally affected by changing interest rates. Management continues to focus on improving the mix of earning assets by originating loans and decreasing securities as a percentage of earning assets; however, we will continue to purchase investment securities as a source of interest income in lieu of carrying higher cash balances at nominal interest rates. For additional information, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $74.2 million, or 10.0%, to $820.4 million at June 30, 2016, from $746.1 million at June 30, 2015. This increase was primarily the result of deposit account balances increasing $76.1 million, or 11.8%, to $723.3 million at June 30, 2016, from $647.2 million at June 30, 2015. Transaction, savings, and money market account deposits increased $65.0 million, or 13.0%, to $564.2 million at June 30, 2016 from $499.2 million at June 30, 2015, including an increase in personal and business transaction accounts of $19.1 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Certificates of deposit increased $11.2 million, or 7.6%, during this period. Increases in deposits were primarily the result of targeted promotional efforts on money market and certificates of deposits in new and existing market areas. Borrowings, consisting primarily of long term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, decreased $9.4 million, or 10.4%, to $80.7 million at June 30, 2016 from $90.0 million at June 30, 2015. During the year, $30.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank long term advances were repaid, and the Company offset prepayment penalties on the early repayment of these advances with the gain on sale of investment securities. Total borrowings at June 30, 2016 consisted of $60.0 million long term advances and $20.7 million of short term overnight advances from the FHLB. Equity. Total shareholders' equity decreased $940,000, or 0.5%, to $189.7 million at June 30, 2016, from $190.7 million at June 30, 2015. The decrease was the result of a decrease of $5.5 million related to the repurchase of shares for future issuance under the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, and a decrease of $576,000 related to the purchase in the open market and allocation of ESOP shares, offset by net income of $4.0 million and an increase in the unrealized market value of available for sale securities of $1.1 million, net of tax, during the year ended June 30, 2016. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 General. The Company had net income for the year ended June 30, 2016 of $4.0 million, or $0.33 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $9.1 million, or 178.4%. The net loss during the year ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to the Company contributing $400,000 in cash and $9.3 million in common stock to the First Federal Community Foundation (the "Foundation"), resulting in a pre-tax noninterest expense charge of $9.7 million. Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $4.5 million to $27.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, from $22.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2015. This increase was the result of an increase in interest income related to increased average volume of loans receivable and increases in both the average volume and average yield earned on investment and mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by an increase in interest expense due primarily to the higher average cost of deposits. The net interest margin increased 19 basis points to 2.98% for the year ended June 30, 2016, from 2.79% for the fiscal year June 30, 2015. The net interest margin increased due primarily to an increase in the average balance of total loans receivable earning higher yields compared to cash and investment alternatives, as well as an increase in both the average balance and the average yield of investment and mortgage-backed securities. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits in banks decreased $32.9 million, while the average balance of investments and mortgage-backed securities increased $91.8 million, and the average balance of net loans receivable increased $45.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 compared to last year. Of the $4.5 million increase in net interest income during the year ended June 30, 2016 compared to fiscal year June 30, 2015, $3.8 million was the result of an increase in volume, $2.0 million and $1.8 million of which was due to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable and investment and mortgage-backed securities, respectively, and $733,000 was due to an increase in rates, of which $1.2 million was attributable to an increase in yields on investment and mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by a $385,000 decline in average loan rates. 72 The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 0.71% for the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to 0.70% for the prior fiscal year, due primarily to an increase of seven basis points in the average rate paid on customer deposits, which offset a 17 basis point decline in the average cost of borrowings compared to the prior year. Interest Income. Total interest income increased $4.7 million, or 17.1%, to $32.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 from $27.5 million for the comparable period in 2015. Interest income increased primarily due to increases in the average balance and yield on investment and mortgage-backed securities and, to a lesser extent, the increase in the average balance of loans receivable. Interest income on loans receivable increased $1.7 million, to $23.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 from $22.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, due to an increase in the average balance of net loans receivable of $45.2 million during the year. Average loan yields decreased eight basis points compared to the year ended June 30, 2015, as higher yielding loans continued to pay off and were replaced with loans at lower interest rates. Interest income on investment securities increased $1.2 million to $3.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, due to a $29.2 million increase in the average balance of investment securities to $118.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 compared to $88.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, and an increase in the average yield of 54 basis points compared to the prior year, due primarily to investments purchased at higher yields. Interest income on mortgage-backed and related securities increased $1.8 million, primarily due to an increase of 23 basis points in average yields to 2.14% for the year ended June 30, 2016 from 1.91% for the year ended June 30, 2015, due primarily to investments purchased with higher yields and an increase in the average balance of $62.5 million compared to the prior year. The following table compares average earning asset balances, associated yields, and resulting changes in interest income for the periods shown: Year Ended June 30, 2016 2015 Average Balance Outstanding Yield Average Balance Outstanding Increase/ (Decrease) in Interest Income Yield (Dollars in thousands) $ 536,706 4.41% $ 491,497 118,010 244,246 4,600 17,222 $ 920,784 2.62 2.14 2.26 0.34 3.49 88,764 181,727 9,463 50,098 $ 821,549 4.49% $ 2.08 1.91 0.13 0.23 3.35 $ 1,645 1,246 1,757 92 (55) 4,685 Loans receivable, net Investment securities Mortgage-backed securities FHLB stock Interest-bearing deposits in banks Total interest-earning assets Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $178,000, or 3.9%, to $4.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to $4.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to an increase in deposit costs of $500,000, or 30.0%, during the year. Deposit costs increased for the year ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior year primarily due to higher average balances and an increase in rates paid on money market accounts and certificates of deposit as the result of targeted promotional efforts in new and existing market areas. The cost of money market accounts increased $173,000 due to an increase in the average balance of $23.1 million and an increase in the average rate paid of five basis points, and the cost of certificates of deposit increased $325,000 due to an increase in the average balance of $12.2 million and an increase in the average rate paid of 14 basis points. These deposit cost increases were partially offset by a $322,000, or 11%, decline in borrowing costs, as higher cost, long- term FHLB deposits were repaid during the year. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $17.1 million, or 3.0%, to $582.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 from $565.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2015. Increases in the average balances of money market accounts and certificates of deposit were partially offset by decreases in the average balance of transaction accounts of $6.0 million and savings accounts of $12.2 million. The average cost of all deposit products increased to 0.37% for the year ended June 30, 2016 from 0.30% for the year ended June 30, 2015. Borrowing costs 73 declined to $2.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 from $2.9 million for the last fiscal year primarily due to the early repayment of $30.0 million of long term, higher cost FHLB advances. The following table details average balances, cost of funds and the change in interest expense for the periods shown: Year Ended June 30, 2016 Average Balance Outstanding Rate 2015 Average Balance Outstanding Rate Increase/ (Decrease) in Interest Expense Savings accounts Transaction accounts Money market accounts Certificates of deposit Borrowings Total interest-bearing liabilities $ 667,347 $ 90,482 0.04% $ 102,696 0.04% $ (Dollars in thousands) 100,117 241,046 150,463 85,239 0.01 0.25 1.00 3.05 0.71 106,130 217,901 138,287 90,730 $ 655,744 0.01 0.20 0.86 3.22 0.70 $ (2) 4 173 325 (322) 178 Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $233,000 during the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to none for the year ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to increases in the balances and changes in the mix of loans receivable in our portfolio, partially offset by decreases related to a decline in nonaccruing and classified loans and improvements in net-charge offs during the year. The following table details activity and information related to the allowance for loan losses for the periods shown: Provision for loan losses Net (charge-offs) recoveries Allowance for loan losses Allowance for losses as a percentage of total gross loans receivable at the end of this period Total nonaccruing loans Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans at end of period Nonaccrual and 90 days or more past due loans as a percentage of total loans Total loans Year Ended June 30, 2016 2015 (Dollars in thousands) $ 233 $ (105) 7,239 1.2% 3,257 222.3% 0.5% — (961) 7,111 1.4% 4,883 145.6% 1.0% $ 625,985 $ 493,881 While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $1.5 million to $6.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2016 from $4.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to an increase in the gain on sale of investment securities of $1.6 million and an increase in loan and deposit service fees of $166,000, partially offset by a decrease in the gain on sale of loans of $314,000 during the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to fiscal year 2015. The gain on sale of investment securities was mainly intended to offset FHLB prepayment penalties on advances that were repaid prior to maturity during the year. Reduced gain on sale of loans was attributable to a 74 reduction in loan sales activity in the fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal year 2015 as we retained most of our longer-term, fixed-rate mortgage loan originations as part of our efforts to increase net interest margin while staying consistent with our management of interest rate risk. We expect to increase our originations of one- to four-family residential loans held for sale as we begin operations at our Home Lending Center in Seattle, Washington during the first six months of 2017. The following table provides a detailed analysis of the changes in the components of noninterest income for the periods shown: Year Ended June 30, Increase (Decrease) 2016 2015 Amount Percent (Dollars in thousands) Loan and deposit service fees $ 3,570 $ 3,404 $ Mortgage servicing fees, net of amortization Net gain on sale of loans Net gain on sale of investment securities Increase in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance Other income 255 234 1,567 114 437 305 548 — 102 348 166 (50) (314) 1,567 12 89 4.9% (16.4) (57.3) 100.0 11.8 25.6 Total noninterest income $ 6,177 $ 4,707 $ 1,470 31.2% Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $5.1 million, or 15.6%, to $27.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, compared to $33.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2015. This decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to the $9.7 million funding of the Foundation, which contributed to total charitable contributions of $9.9 million for the fiscal year 2015. We also saw a decline in expenses related to real estate owned and repossessed assets of $472,000 and a decrease in our FDIC insurance premiums of $120,000. These declines in noninterest expense were partially offset by increases in compensation and benefits of $1.8 million primarily reflecting salary and wage adjustments, increased staffing and higher benefit costs; professional fees of $694,000; and occupancy, equipment, depreciation and amortization of $434,000, as we continued to grow our franchise through opening of new branch offices and develop our personnel and infrastructure to better position ourselves for the future. The increase in professional fees reflects expenses relating to doing business as a public company. Prepayment penalties on FHLB advances were $1.2 million during the year, offset by the net gain on the sale of securities, as we paid down higher cost, long term FHLB advances during the year and continued to strive to reduce FHLB advances and utilize deposit growth as our main source of funding for new loan originations. We expect increased noninterest expenses related to the opening and operations of our second branch in Bellingham, Washington and Home Lending Center in Seattle, Washington, which we anticipate will occur during the first six months of fiscal 2017. 75 The following table provides an analysis of the changes in the components of noninterest expense for the periods shown: Compensation and benefits Real estate owned and repossessed assets expenses, net Data processing Occupancy and equipment Supplies, postage, and telephone Regulatory assessments and state taxes Advertising Charitable contributions Professional fees FDIC insurance premium FHLB prepayment penalty Other Total Year Ended June 30, Increase (Decrease) 2016 2015 Amount Percent (Dollars in thousands) $ 14,523 $ 12,703 $ 1,820 14.3 % (307) 2,704 3,492 668 485 797 — 1,757 424 1,193 2,161 165 2,521 3,058 663 334 433 9,870 1,063 544 — 1,692 (472) 183 434 5 151 364 (9,870) 694 (120) 1,193 469 (286.1) 7.3 14.2 0.8 45.2 84.1 (100.0) 65.3 (22.1) 100.0 27.7 $ 27,897 $ 33,046 $ (5,149) (15.6)% Provision for Income Tax. An income tax expense of $1.5 million was recorded for the year ended June 30, 2016 compared to an income tax benefit of $354,000 for the year ended June 30, 2015. This was generally due to an increase in income before taxes of $10.9 million. The income tax expense in 2016 was due to net income of $4.0 million as compared to the 2015 tax benefit due to the net loss as a result of the charitable contribution to the Foundation. Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 Assets. Total assets increased $141.5 million, or 17.8%, to $936.8 million at June 30, 2015, from $795.3 million at June 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase of $128.4 million, or 55.3%, in total investment securities to $360.6 million at June 30, 2015, as a result of deploying $117.6 million received from the Company's initial stock offering and an increase of $26.1 million in total cash and due from banks during the year. Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased $8.3 million, or 1.7%, to $487.9 million at June 30, 2015, from $496.2 million at June 30, 2014. Gross loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased $9.9 million, or 2.0%, to $493.9 million at June 30, 2015, from $503.8 million at June 30, 2014. The decline in the portfolio was primarily the result of a reduction in commercial, construction and land, and consumer loans. Commercial loans, including commercial real estate, multi- family, and commercial business loans, decreased $17.2 million, or 9.0%, to $173.5 million at June 30, 2015 from $190.7 million at June 30, 2014. Total consumer loans decreased $6.2 million, or 12.2%, to $44.6 million at June 30, 2015 from $50.8 million at June 30, 2014. These declines were primarily the result of a combination of prepayments and regular amortization outpacing the amount of new originations during the year. We continue to reduce our reliance on purchased commercial and multi-family real estate loans and focus on organic growth in these portfolios of loans; however, we may from time to time evaluate loan purchases to supplement our loan growth and increase our yield on interest earning assets. Partially offsetting these declines during the year ended June 30, 2015 was an increase in one- to four-family residential loans of $14.8 million, or 6.1%, primarily the result of purchase loan activity. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company originated $104.5 million of loans, of which $76.2 million, or 72.9%, were originated in the North Olympic Peninsula, $26.1 million, or 25.0%, in the Puget Sound region of Washington, and $2.2 million, or 2.1%, in other areas in Washington. In addition to loans originated during the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company purchased two pools of one- to four-family residential loans totaling $25.6 million located in the Puget Sound region of Washington. 76 Our allowance for loan losses declined $961,000, or 11.9%, from $8.1 million at June 30, 2014 to $7.1 million at June 30, 2015, and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans declined 20 basis points from 1.6% at June 30, 2014, to 1.4% at June 30, 2015. The allowance remained relatively stable as the result of improving asset quality and decreases in nonperforming and classified loans during the year ended June 30, 2015. Loans receivable, excluding loans held for sale, consisted of the following at the dates indicated: June 30, 2015 June 30, 2014 (In thousands) Real Estate: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Total real estate loans Consumer: Home equity Other consumer Total consumer loans Commercial business loans Total loans Less: Net deferred loan fees Premium on purchased loans, net Allowance for loan losses Total loans receivable, net $ 256,696 $ 33,086 125,623 19,127 434,532 36,387 8,198 44,585 14,764 493,881 840 (1,957) 7,111 $ 487,887 $ 241,910 45,100 128,028 20,497 435,535 40,064 10,697 50,761 17,532 503,828 862 (1,290) 8,072 496,184 Nonperforming loans decreased $1.1 million, or 18.3%, to $4.9 million at June 30, 2015, from $6.0 million at June 30, 2014. During the year ended June 30, 2015, nonperforming commercial real estate loans decreased $1.8 million, and nonperforming home equity loans decreased $159,000, partially offset by increases of $689,000 in one- to four-family residential loans, $32,000 in construction and land loans, and $123,000 in other consumer loans. Nonperforming loans to total loans declined to 1.0% at June 30, 2015 from 1.2% at June 30, 2014. Real estate owned and repossessed assets increased $1.1 million to $1.9 million at June 30, 2015, from $810,000 at June 30, 2014. The decrease in nonperforming commercial real estate loans and increase in real estate owned and repossessed assets was primarily the result of the transfer of a $1.4 million commercial real estate loan to real estate owned during the year ended June 30, 2015. Our allowance for loan losses was $7.1 million and $8.1 million, or 1.4% and 1.6% of gross loans receivable, at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased 7.6% from 135.3% at June 30, 2014 to 145.6% at June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, there were $7.7 million in restructured loans, of which $2.1 million were performing in accordance with their modified payment terms and returned to accrual status. Classified loans decreased by $4.0 million, or 28.8%, to $9.9 million at June 30, 2015, from $13.9 million at June 30, 2014. 77 The following table represents nonperforming assets and troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") at the dates indicated.

Mortgage-backed securities represent the largest portion of our investment securities portfolio and totaled $230.3 million at June 30, 2015, an increase of $61.6 million, or 36.5%, from $168.7 million at June 30, 2014. Other investment securities, including municipal bonds, were $130.2 million at June 30, 2015, an increase of $66.7 million, or 105.0% from $63.5 million at June 30, 2014. From the net proceeds received from our initial stock offering and additional available cash on hand during the year, we purchased $138.0 million of investment securities 78 consisting of a combination of fixed rate securities of $107.9 million, or 78.2%, and adjustable rate securities of $30.1 million, or 21.8%. Of the fixed rate securities, $10.2 million consisted of laddered maturity U.S. Treasury notes which will mature in approximate $500,000 increments starting in September 2015 and each of the six months thereafter through February 2025. Other fixed rate securities consist of $5.0 million Agency bond securities, $70.7 million of U.S. government agency issued mortgage-backed securities ("Agency MBS"), $10.0 million of Small Business Association ("SBA") securities, $7.6 million of municipal securities, and one corporate issued mortgage- backed security ("Corporate MBS") of $4.4 million. Adjustable rate securities consisted of $14.8 million corporate asset-backed securities ("Corporate ABS"), $4.7 million of Corporate MBS, and $10.6 million Agency MBS. Investment securities and mortgage-backed securities purchased fall within the policy types and dollar limits as set by First Federal's investment policy. Corporate MBS and Corporate ABS require additional monitoring by the Bank for credit quality and risk-weighting on at least a quarterly basis to detect underlying credit issues that may require attention as these investments do not have guarantees of payment in the event of default. The duration of the total investment securities portfolio remained the same at 4.7 years at June 30, 2015 and 2014. Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $31.8 million, or 4.5%, to $746.1 million at June 30, 2015, from $714.3 million at June 30, 2014. This increase was primarily the result of deposit account balances increasing $46.8 million, or 7.8%, to $647.2 million at June 30, 2015, from $600.4 million at June 30, 2014. Transaction, savings, and money market account deposits increased $32.5 million, or 7.0%, to $499.2 million at June 30, 2015 from $466.7 million at June 30, 2014, while certificates of deposit increased $14.2 million, or 10.6%, during this period. Increases in deposits were primarily the result of targeted promotional efforts on money market and certificates of deposits in new and existing market areas. Borrowings, consisting primarily of long term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, decreased $15.1 million, or 14.4%, from $105.1 million at June 30, 2014 to $90.0 million at June 30, 2015, as Federal Home Loan Bank cash management advances were repaid. Total borrowings at June 30, 2015 consisted primarily of long term advances from the FHLB. Equity. Total equity increased $109.7 million, or 135.4%, to $190.7 million at June 30, 2015, from $81.0 million at June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of an increase to capital from the initial stock offering of $126.9 million, partially offset by a $5.1 million net loss and $11.8 million of unearned ESOP shares purchased in the open market during the year ended June 30, 2015. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 General. The Company had a net loss for the year ended June 30, 2015 of $5.1 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to net income of $2.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $7.8 million, or 288.9%. The net loss during the year ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to the Company contributing $400,000 in cash and $9.3 million in common stock to the Foundation, resulting in a pre-tax noninterest expense charge of $9.7 million. Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.1 million to $22.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, from $21.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in interest income as cash received from the initial public stock offering and increased customer deposits was deployed into the investment portfolio. Net interest margin decreased 14 basis points to 2.75% for the year ended June 30, 2015, from 2.89% for the fiscal year 2014, primarily due to an increase in the average balance of investment and mortgage-backed securities and cash and cash equivalents yielding lower rates compared to the loan portfolio, coupled with a decrease in average loan yields during the year ended June 30, 2015. Of the $1.1 million increase in net interest income during the year ended June 30, 2015 compared to fiscal year 2014, $1.8 million was the result of an increase in volume partially offset by a $746,000 decline from change in rates. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased four basis points to 0.70% for the year ended June 30, 2015, compared to 0.74% for the prior fiscal year, due primarily to the decreased cost of FHLB borrowings and a decline in the average balance of certificates of deposit. Interest Income. Total interest income increased $928,000, or 3.5%, to $27.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2015 from $26.6 million for the comparable period in 2014. Interest income increased primarily due to increases in the average balance and in the yield on investment and mortgage-backed securities as additional cash flows were deployed into the investment securities and mortgage-backed securities portfolios. During the year ended June 30, 2015, average loan yields decreased 23 basis points compared to the year ended June 30, 2014, as higher yielding loans continued to pay off and were replaced with loans at lower interest rates. This resulted in interest 79 income on loans receivable decreasing $320,000, to $22.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2015 from $22.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, despite an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $17.3 million during fiscal year 2015. Interest income on investment securities increased $701,000 to $1.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2015 compared to $1.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2014. The average balance of investment securities increased $27.1 million to $88.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2015 compared to $61.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2014. The yield on investment securities for the year ended June 30, 2015 increased twenty-two basis points. Interest income on mortgage backed securities increased $473,000 primarily due to an increase of 25 basis points in average yields to 1.91% for the year ended June 30, 2015 from 1.66% for the year ended June 30, 2014 and an increase in the average balance of $1.0 million compared to the prior year. The following table compares average earning asset balances, associated yields, and resulting changes in interest income for the periods shown: 2015 Year Ended June 30, 2014 Loans receivable, net Investment securities Mortgage-backed securities FHLB stock Cash and due from banks Average Balance Outstanding $ 491,497 88,764 181,727 9,463 61,154 Yield 4.49 % 2.08 1.91 0.13 0.18 Average Balance Outstanding (Dollars in thousands) Yield Increase/ (Decrease) in Interest Income $ 474,222 61,620 180,743 10,268 27,596 $ 4.72 % 1.86 1.66 0.10 0.15 (320) 701 473 2 72 928 Total interest-earning assets $ 832,605 3.30 $ 754,449 3.52 $ Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $137,000, or 2.9%, to $4.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, compared to $4.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a $269,000, or 8.4%, decline in borrowing costs. Deposit costs increased $132,000, or 8.6%, primarily due to an increase in the average balance of money market accounts of $14.5 million coupled with an increase in the average rate paid of three basis points, which resulted in an $82,000 increase in interest paid on money market accounts during the year ended June 30, 2015. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $31.8 million, or 6.0%, to $565.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2015 from $533.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2014. This increase was attributable to increases in the average balances of savings accounts of $19.0 million, money market accounts of $14.5 million and transaction accounts of $2.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit of $4.5 million. With rates at historically low levels there has been little incentive for depositors to extend maturities and reduce the liquidity associated with savings and money market products by renewing maturing certificates of deposit. The average cost of all deposit products increased to 0.30% for the year ended June 30, 2015 from 0.29% for the year ended June 30, 2014. Borrowing costs declined $269,000 to $2.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2015 from $3.2 million for the last fiscal year primarily due to the maturity of $10.0 million long-term FHLB advances. 80 The following table details average balances, cost of funds and the change in interest expense for the periods shown: Year Ended June 30, 2015 2014 Savings accounts Transaction accounts Money market accounts Certificates of deposit Borrowings Average Balance Outstanding $ 102,696 106,130 217,901 138,287 90,730 Total interest-bearing liabilities $ 655,744 Average Balance Outstanding Rate (Dollars in thousands) $ 83,686 0.05 % $ 103,333 203,375 142,775 104,698 $ 637,867 0.01 0.17 0.79 3.05 0.74 $ Rate 0.04 % 0.01 0.20 0.86 3.22 0.70 Increase/ (Decrease) in Interest Expense — — 82 50 (269) (137) Provision for Loan Losses. There was no provision for loan losses during the year ended June 30, 2015, compared to $1.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2014. This was primarily due to improving asset quality as reflected in the decrease in classified loans. The decrease in classified loans is attributed to the improving economic conditions allowing some borrowers to better their financial condition. The improvement in net charge-offs reflects the improvement in real estate values in our market areas. The following table details activity and information related to the allowance for loan losses for the periods shown: Year Ended June 30, 2015 2014 Provision for loan losses Net (charge-offs) recoveries Allowance for loan losses Allowance for losses as a percentage of total gross loans receivable at the end of this period Total nonaccruing loans Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans at end of period Nonaccrual and 90 days or more past due loans as a percentage of total loans Total loans (Dollars in thousands) — $ $ (961) 7,111 1.4% 4,883 145.6% 1.0% 1,307 (1,209) 8,072 1.6% 5,964 135.3% 1.2% $ 493,991 $ 504,441 Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $283,000 to $4.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2015 from $5.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2014 primarily due to the absence of any gain on sale of investment securities, and a decrease in the gain on sale of loans of $214,000 during the year ended June 30, 2015, compared to fiscal year 2014. Reduced gain on sale of loans was attributable to a reduction in loan sales activity in the fiscal year 2015 compared to fiscal year 2014 as we retained more loans in our portfolio in order to increase interest income rather than selling eligible loans into the secondary market. 81 The following table provides a detailed analysis of the changes in the components of noninterest income for the periods shown: Year Ended June 30, Increase (Decrease) 2015 2014 Amount Percent (Dollars in thousands) Loan and deposit service fees $ 3,404 $ 3,447 $ Mortgage servicing fees, net of amortization Net gain on sale of loans Net gain on sale of investment securities Increase in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance Other income 305 548 — 102 348 284 762 112 94 291 (43) 21 (214) (112) 8 57 (1.2)% 7.4 (28.1) (100.0) 8.5 19.6 Total noninterest income $ 4,707 $ 4,990 $ (283) (5.7)% Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $10.9 million, or 49.5%, to $33.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2015, compared to $22.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2014. This increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to the funding of the Foundation, which resulted in an increase in noninterest expense of $9.7 million. Compensation and benefits increased $1.1 million, and data processing and occupancy and equipment expense increased $321,000 and $5,000, respectively, partially offset by a $233,000 decline in real estate owned and repossessed assets expense, net. Compensation and benefits during the year ended June 30, 2015 increased compared to the comparable period in 2014 as a result of certain market rate and merit increase adjustments for employees and management and increased employee benefits expenses, including expenses related to the ESOP. The following table provides an analysis of the changes in the components of noninterest expense for the periods shown: Compensation and benefits Real estate owned and repossessed assets expenses, net Data processing Occupancy and equipment Supplies, postage, and telephone Regulatory assessments and state taxes Advertising Charitable contributions Professional fees FDIC insurance premium Other Total Year Ended June 30, Increase (Decrease) 2015 2014 Amount Percent (Dollars in thousands) $ 12,703 $ 11,614 $ 1,089 9.4% 165 2,521 3,058 663 334 433 9,870 1,063 544 1,692 398 2,200 3,053 695 381 425 183 945 551 1,660 (233) 321 5 (32) (47) 8 (58.5) 14.6 0.2 (4.6) (12.3) 1.9 9,687 5,293.4 118 (7) 32 12.5 (1.3) 1.9 49.5% $ 33,046 $ 22,105 $ 10,941 Provision for Income Tax. An income tax benefit of $354,000 was recorded for the year ended June 30, 2015 compared to an income tax expense of $740,000 for the year ended June 30, 2014. This was generally due to a decrease in income before taxes of $8.9 million. Under current Federal income tax regulations, charitable contribution deductions are limited to 10% of taxable income. Accordingly, the $9.7 million contribution will create a carry-forward for income tax purposes with a deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance for financial statement purposes. 82 Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields/Cost The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest-earning assets and interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, resultant yields, interest rate spread, net interest margin (otherwise known as net yield on interest-earning assets), and the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities. Also presented is the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets, rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant spread at June 30, 2016.

It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and due to the changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest- bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk Risk Management Overview. Managing risk is an essential part of successfully managing a financial institution. Our Enterprise Risk Management committee reports key risk indicators to the board of directors through the Audit Committee. The most prominent risk exposures management monitors are: strategic, credit, interest rate, liquidity, operational, compliance, reputational and legal risk. We utilize the services of outside firms to assist us in our asset and liability management and our analysis of market risk. Interest Rate Risk Management. We manage the interest rate sensitivity of interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment. Except for certain adjustable-rate home equity lines of credit and commercial real estate loans that are tied to the prime rate, the twelve month constant maturity treasury, or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), deposit accounts typically reprice more quickly in response to changes in market interest rates than mortgage loans because of their shorter maturities. As a result, sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect earnings. Typically, decreases in interest rates beneficially affect our earnings in the short term, but with the Federal Reserve Board maintaining the federal funds rate near zero for a prolonged period, decreases in interest rates adversely affect earnings due to prepayments and refinancing associated with loans and investment securities, which are then 84 reinvested in lower yielding assets, reducing interest income. In contrast, First Federal has little or no long-term ability to reduce funding costs associated with deposits and borrowings. We currently do not participate in hedging programs, interest rate swaps or other activities involving the use of derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. Management uses an interest rate sensitivity analysis to review our level of interest rate risk. This analysis measures interest rate risk by computing changes in the present value of our cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The present value of equity is equal to the market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. This analysis assesses the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments in the event of a sudden and sustained 100 to 300 basis point increase or a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates with no effect given to any future steps that management might take to counter the impact of that interest rate movement. The following table presents the change in the present value of First Federal’s equity at June 30, 2016, that would occur in the event of an immediate change in interest rates based on management’s assumptions. Basis Point Change in Interest Rates June 30, 2016 Economic Value of Equity $ Amount $ Change (Dollars in thousands) % Change + 300 + 200 + 100 0 - 100 $ $ 151,492 158,249 163,528 165,007 138,015 (13,515) (6,758) (1,479) — (26,992) (8.2)% (4.1) (0.9) — (16.4) EVE Ratio % 16.9% 17.1 17.1 16.8 13.8 Using the same assumptions as above, the sensitivity of our projected net interest income for the year ended June 30, 2016, is as follows: June 30, 2016 Projected Net Interest Income $ Amount $ Change (Dollars in thousands) % Change $ $ 23,805 25,546 27,296 28,545 27,744 (4,740) (2,999) (1,249) — (801) (16.6)% (10.5) (4.4) — (2.8) Basis Point Change in Interest Rates + 300 + 200 + 100 0 - 100 Assumptions made by management relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others. As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets have features, such as rate caps or floors, which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change 85 in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Liquidity Management Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term and long-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities and borrowings from the FHLB. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are usually predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and borrowed funds, and prepayments on loans and investment securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition, which can cause those sources of funds to fluctuate. Management regularly adjusts our investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and objectives of our interest-rate risk and investment policies. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents followed by available for sale securities. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents totaled $22.7 million, and securities classified as available-for-sale provide additional sources of liquidity with a market value of $267.9 million at June 30, 2016. We have pledged collateral to support borrowings from the FHLB of $80.7 million, and have established a borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, for which no collateral has been pledged as of June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, we had $1.1 million in loan commitments outstanding and an additional $65.6 million in undisbursed loans and standby letters of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2016 totaled $61.9 million, or 38.9% of certificates of deposit. The large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers' hesitancy to invest their funds for longer periods at historically low interest rates. Management believes, based on past experience, that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will be renewed or rolled into money market accounts. If these maturing deposits are not renewed, however, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on certificates of deposit. In addition, we believe that our branch network, and the general cash flows from our existing lending and investment activities, will afford us sufficient foreseeable long-term liquidity. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and provides for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations. At June 30, 2016, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $41.1 million. Off-Balance Sheet Activities In the normal course of operations, First Federal engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in the financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. For the year ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended June 30, 2015, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. 86 Contractual Obligations At June 30, 2016, our scheduled maturities of contractual obligations were as follows: Within 1 Year After 1 Year Through 3 Years After 3 Years Through 5 Years (In thousands) Beyond 5 Years Total Balance Certificates of deposit $ 61,903 $ 75,537 $ 21,584 $ FHLB advances Operating leases Borrower taxes and insurance Deferred compensation 20,672 234 1,040 18 — 495 — 65 60,000 389 — 41 89 — 1,764 — 268 $ 159,113 80,672 2,882 1,040 392 Total contractual obligations $ 83,867 $ 76,097 $ 82,014 $ 2,121 $ 244,099 Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The following table summarizes our commitments and contingent liabilities with off-balance sheet risks as of June 30, 2016: Amount of Commitment Expiration - Per Period Total Amounts Committed Due in One Year (In thousands) Commitments to originate loans: Fixed-rate Adjustable-rate Unfunded commitments under lines of credit or existing loans Standby letters of credit Total $ $ 1,111 $ — 65,151 401 66,663 $ 1,111 — 65,151 401 66,663 Capital Resources First Northwest Bancorp is a bank holding company subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve. As a bank holding company, we are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. For a bank holding company with less than $1.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis, and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary banks to be well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. Our subsidiary, First Federal, is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC. Capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital. First Federal is subject to meeting minimum capital adequacy requirements for common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and tier 1 capital ("leverage"). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by bank regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. First Federal is subject to capital requirements adopted by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. See Item 1, “Business-How We Are Regulated,” and Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal’s regulatory capital requirements. 87 In addition to the minimum CET1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios, First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal will have to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital equal to 2.5% of risk- weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. This new capital conservation buffer requirement began to be phased in starting in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year until fully implemented in January 2019. At June 30, 2016, First Federal exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for First Federal to maintain a “well-capitalized” status under the capital categories of the FDIC. Based on capital levels at June 30, 2016, First Federal was considered to be well-capitalized. The following table shows the capital ratios of First Federal at June 30, 2016. Actual Minimum Capital Requirements Minimum Required to Be Well-Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (Dollars in thousands) $ 132,800 13.8% $ 38,566 4.0% $ 48,208 5.0% 132,800 132,800 140,237 21.4 21.4 22.6 27,982 37,310 49,746 4.5 6.0 8.0 40,419 49,746 62,183 6.5 8.0 10.0 Tier 1 Capital to total adjusted assets(1) Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk- weighted assets(2) Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets(2) Total Capital to risk-weighted assets(2) ______________ (1) Based on adjusted average assets of $964.2 million.

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented in this report have been prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which require the measurement of financial and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs and the effect that general inflation may have on both short-term and long-term interest rates. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Although inflation expectations do affect interest rates, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services. Recent Accounting Pronouncements See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Our market risk arises principally from interest rate risk inherent in our lending, investing, deposit and borrowing activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. In addition to other risks that we manage in the normal course of business, such as credit quality and liquidity, management considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could potentially have a material effect on our financial condition and result of operations.

We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.  We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.      Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of First Northwest Bancorp and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, First Northwest Bancorp maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Everett, Washington September 9, 2016     FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS (In thousands, except share data) ASSETS Cash and due from banks Interest-bearing deposits in banks Investment securities available for sale, at fair value Investment securities held to maturity, at amortized cost Loans held for sale Loans receivable (net of allowance for loan losses of $7,239 and $7,111) Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, at cost Accrued interest receivable Premises and equipment, net Mortgage servicing rights, net Bank-owned life insurance, net Real estate owned and repossessed assets Prepaid expenses and other assets Total assets LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Deposits Borrowings Accrued interest payable Accrued expenses and other liabilities Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance Total liabilities Commitments and Contingencies (Note 13) Shareholders' Equity Preferred stock, $0.01 par value, authorized 5,000,000 shares, no shares issued or outstanding Common stock, $0.01 par value, authorized 75,000,000 shares; issued and outstanding 12,676,660 at June 30, 2016; issued and outstanding 13,100,360 at June 30, 2015 Additional paid-in capital Retained earnings Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax Unearned employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) shares Total shareholders' equity June 30, 2016 2015 $ 12,841 $ 9,809 267,857 56,038 917 619,844 4,403 2,802 13,519 998 18,282 81 2,711 10,590 34,440 299,040 61,524 110 487,887 4,807 2,546 12,580 1,187 18,168 1,914 2,009 $ $ 1,010,102 $ 936,802 723,287 $ 80,672 189 15,173 1,040 820,361 647,164 90,033 265 7,727 932 746,121 — — 127 122,595 77,301 1,895 (12,177) 189,741 131 126,809 74,573 750 (11,582) 190,681 936,802 Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $ 1,010,102 $ See accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. 92 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME (In thousands, except per share data) INTEREST INCOME Interest and fees on loans receivable Interest on mortgage-backed and related securities Interest on investment securities Interest-bearing deposits and other FHLB dividends Total interest income INTEREST EXPENSE Deposits Borrowings Total interest expense Net interest income PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES Net interest income after provision for loan losses NONINTEREST INCOME Loan and deposit service fees Mortgage servicing fees, net Net gain on sale of loans Net gain on sale of investment securities Increase in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, net Other income Total noninterest income NONINTEREST EXPENSE Compensation and benefits Real estate owned and repossessed assets (income) expense, net Data processing Occupancy and equipment Supplies, postage, and telephone Regulatory assessments and state taxes Advertising Charitable contributions Professional fees FDIC insurance premium FHLB prepayment penalty Other Total noninterest expense Years Ended June 30, 2016 2015 2014 $ 23,691 $ 22,046 $ 22,366 5,223 3,096 58 104 3,466 1,850 113 12 2,993 1,149 41 10 32,172 27,487 26,559 2,169 2,601 4,770 27,402 233 27,169 3,570 255 234 1,567 114 437 6,177 14,523 (307) 2,704 3,492 668 485 797 — 1,757 424 1,193 2,161 27,897 5,449 1,457 3,992 0.33 $ $ 1,669 2,923 4,592 22,895 — 22,895 1,537 3,192 4,729 21,830 1,307 20,523 3,404 3,447 305 548 — 102 348 284 762 112 94 291 4,707 4,990 12,703 165 2,521 3,058 663 334 433 9,870 1,063 544 — 1,692 33,046 (5,444) (354) (5,090) $ 11,614 398 2,200 3,053 695 381 425 183 945 551 — 1,660 22,105 3,408 740 2,668 (0.42) na (1) INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES NET INCOME (LOSS) Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share $ $ (1) Not applicable as no shares were issued and outstanding during this period.

97 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of operations - First Northwest Bancorp, a Washington corporation ("First Northwest"), was formed in connection with the conversion of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles ("First Federal" or the "Bank") from the mutual to the stock form of organization. First Northwest and the Bank are collectively referred to as the "Company." The conversion and the Company's initial stock offering were completed January 29, 2015, through the sale and issuance of 12,167,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $10.00 per share in a subscription offering. An additional 933,360 shares of Company common stock and $400,000 in cash were contributed to the First Federal Community Foundation ("Foundation"), a charitable foundation that was established in connection with the conversion, resulting in the issuance of a total of 13,100,360 shares. First Northwest's business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in First Federal. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including the consolidated financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank. The Bank provides commercial and consumer banking services to individuals and businesses located primarily on the Olympic Peninsula in the State of Washington. These services include deposit and lending transactions that are supplemented with borrowing and investing activities. Plan of conversion and change in corporate form - On January 29, 2015, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion (Plan) adopted by its Board of Directors and as approved by its members, the Bank converted from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank and became the wholly-owned subsidiary of First Northwest, a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve"). Deferred conversion costs of $4.1 million were deducted from the proceeds of the shares sold in the offering during the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. The net proceeds of the issuance of capital stock were $117.6 million. From the net proceeds, First Northwest made a capital contribution of $58.4 million to the Bank and a $400,000 cash contribution to the Foundation. Pursuant to the Plan, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an ESOP which purchased in the open market 8% of the common stock originally issued for a total of 1,048,029 shares. As of June 30, 2016, 1,048,029 shares, or 100.0% of the total, had been purchased. As of June 30, 2016, First Northwest has allocated 70,356 shares from the total shares purchased to participants. At the time of conversion, the Bank established a liquidation account in an amount equal to its total net worth, approximately $79.7 million, as of June 30, 2014, the latest statement of financial condition appearing in First Northwest's prospectus. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible depositors have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible depositor will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held. The liquidation account balance is not available for payment of dividends, and the Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount. Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make assumptions. These assumptions result in estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to a determination of the allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, fair value of financial instruments, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation of impaired loans. Earnings per share and share calculations prior to January 29, 2015 are not meaningful as the Company completed its stock conversion and became a public company on January 29, 2015. The conversion has been accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and equity unchanged. 98 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Northwest Bancorp; its wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal; and First Federal's wholly owned subsidiary, North Olympic Peninsula Services, Inc. ("NOPS"), and majority-owned Craft3 Development IV, LLC ("Craft3"). NOPS was dissolved on February 12, 2016, at which time the building owned by NOPS and rented in whole to First Federal became the property of the Bank. Craft3 is a partnership investment formed to provide a loan qualifying under the New Markets Tax Credit ("NMTC") rules. The Craft3 partnership was a seven year commitment, commensurate with the NMTC period, which expired June 6, 2015. First Federal subsequently entered a membership redemption and assignment agreement which terminated its membership interest in the Craft3 partnership effective September 30, 2015. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Subsequent events - The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure. Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist of currency on hand, due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions with an original maturity of three months or less. The amounts on deposit fluctuate and, at times, exceed the insured limit by the FDIC, which potentially subjects First Federal to credit risk. First Federal has not experienced any losses due to balances exceeding FDIC insurance limits. Restricted assets - Federal Reserve Board regulations require maintenance of certain minimum reserve balances on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The amount required to be on deposit was approximately $6.7 million and $7.4 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. First Federal was in compliance with its reserve requirements at June 30, 2016 and 2015. Investment securities - Investment securities are classified into one of three categories: (1) held-to-maturity, (2) available-for-sale, or (3) trading. First Federal had no trading securities at June 30, 2016 or 2015. Investment securities are categorized as held-to-maturity when First Federal has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity. Securities that are held-to-maturity are stated at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which are recognized as adjustments to interest income. Investment securities categorized as available for sale are generally held for investment purposes (to maturity), although unanticipated future events may result in the sale of some securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, with the unrealized holding gain or loss reported in other comprehensive income (OCI), net of tax, as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Realized gains or losses are determined using the amortized cost basis of securities sold using the specific identification method and are included in earnings. Dividend and interest income on investments are recognized when earned. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the level yield method over the period to maturity. The Company reviews investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) on a quarterly basis. For debt securities, the Company considers whether management intends to sell a security or if it is likely that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis of the investment, which may be maturity. For debt securities, if management intends to sell the security or it is likely that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost basis, the entire impairment loss would be recognized as OTTI and charged against earnings. If management does not intend to sell the security and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the security, but management does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, only the portion of the impairment loss representing credit losses would be recognized in earnings. The credit loss on a security is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected. Projected cash flows are discounted by the original or current effective interest rate depending on the nature of the security being measured for potential OTTI. The remaining impairment related to all other factors, i.e. the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and fair value, is recognized as a charge to OCI. Impairment losses related to all other factors are presented as separate categories within OCI. If there is an indication of additional credit losses, the security is re-evaluated according to the procedures described above. Federal Home Loan Bank stock - First Federal’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) stock is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. As a member of the FHLB system, First Federal is required to maintain a minimum investment in 99 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FHLB stock based on specific percentages of its outstanding mortgages, total assets, or FHLB advances. At June 30, 2016 and 2015, First Federal’s minimum investment requirement was approximately $4.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively. First Federal was in compliance with the FHLB minimum investment requirement at June 30, 2016 and 2015. First Federal may request redemption at par value of any stock in excess of the amount First Federal is required to hold. Stock redemptions are granted at the discretion of the FHLB. Management evaluates FHLB stock for impairment based on its assessment of the ultimate recoverability of cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of any decline in net assets of the FHLB compared with the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, the customer base of the FHLB, and (4) the liquidity position of the FHLB. Based on its evaluation, First Federal did not recognize an OTTI loss on its FHLB stock at June 30, 2016 and 2015. Loans held for sale - Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Fair value is determined based upon market prices from third-party purchasers and brokers. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to earnings. Gains or losses on the sale of loans are recognized at the time of sale and determined by the difference between net sale proceeds and the net book value of the loan less the estimated fair value of any retained mortgage servicing rights. Loans receivable - Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, net of charge-offs, unearned income, allowance for loan loss (ALLL) and any deferred fees or costs. Interest on loans is calculated using the simple interest method based on the month end balance of the principal amount outstanding and is credited to income as earned. The estimated life is adjusted for prepayments. Each loan segment and class inherently contains differing credit risk profiles depending on the unique aspects of that segment or class of loans. For example, borrowers tend to consider their primary residence and access to transportation for employment-related purposes as basic requirements; accordingly, many consumers prioritize making payments on real estate first-mortgage loans and vehicle loans. Conversely, second-mortgage real estate loans or unsecured loans may not be supported by sufficient collateral; thus, in the event of financial hardship, borrowers may tend to place less importance on maintaining these loans as current and the Bank may not have adequate collateral to provide a secondary source of repayment in the event of default. Notwithstanding the various risk profiles unique to each class of loan, management believes that the credit risk for all loans is similarly dependent on essentially the same factors, including the financial strength of the borrower, the cash flow available to service maturing debt obligations, the condition and value of underlying collateral, the financial strength of any guarantors, and other factors. Loans are classified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that First Federal will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due, in accordance with the terms of the original loan agreement. The carrying value of impaired loans is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at each loan’s effective interest rate or, for collateral dependent loans, at fair value of the collateral, less selling costs. If the measurement of each impaired loan’s value is less than the recorded investment in the loan, First Federal recognizes this impairment and adjusts the carrying value of the loan to fair value through the allowance for loan losses. This can be accomplished by charging off the impaired portion of the loan or establishing a specific component to be provided for in the allowance for loan losses. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent, unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. For those loans placed on non-accrual status due to payment delinquency, return to accrual status will generally not occur until the borrower demonstrates repayment ability over a period of not less than six months. 100 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Loan fees - Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to the yield of the loan over the contractual life using the effective interest method. In the event a loan is sold, the remaining deferred loan origination fees and/ or costs are recognized as a component of gains or losses on the sale of loans. Allowance for loan losses - First Federal maintains a general allowance for loan losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, including management’s continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, and current and anticipated economic conditions. The reserve is an estimate based upon factors and trends identified by management at the time the financial statements are prepared. The ultimate recovery of loans is susceptible to future market factors beyond First Federal’s control, which may result in losses or recoveries differing significantly from those provided in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review First Federal’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require First Federal to recognize additional provisions for loan losses based on their judgment using information available to them at the time of their examination. Allowances for losses on specific problem loans are charged to income when it is determined that the value of these loans and properties, in the judgment of management, is impaired. First Federal accounts for impaired loans in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310-10-35, Receivables—Overall—Subsequent Measurement. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that First Federal will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan has been identified as being impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured by using discounted cash flows, except when it is determined that the sole source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the underlying collateral. In such cases, impairment is measured at current fair value generally based on a current appraisal of the collateral, reduced by estimated selling costs. When the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (including collected interest that has been applied to principal, net deferred loan fees or costs, and unamortized premiums or discounts), loan impairment is recognized by establishing or adjusting an allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Uncollected accrued interest is reversed against interest income. If ultimate collection of principal is in doubt, all cash receipts on impaired loans are applied to reduce the principal balance. The impairment amount for small balance homogeneous loans is calculated using the adjusted historical loss rate for the class and risk category related to each loan, unless the loan is subject to a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). A TDR is a loan for which First Federal, for reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that First Federal would not otherwise consider. The loan terms that have been modified or restructured due to the borrower’s financial difficulty include, but are not limited to, a reduction in the stated interest rate; an extension of the maturity; an interest rate below market; a reduction in the face amount of the debt; a reduction in the accrued interest; or extension, deferral, renewal, or rewrite of the original loan terms. The restructured loans may be classified “special mention” or “substandard” depending on the severity of the modification. Loans that were paid current at the time of modification may be upgraded in their classification after a sustained period of repayment performance, usually six months or longer, and there is reasonable assurance that repayment will continue. Loans that are past due at the time of modification are classified “substandard” and placed on nonaccrual status. TDR loans may be upgraded in their classification and placed on accrual status once there is a sustained period of repayment performance, usually six months or longer, and there is a reasonable assurance that repayment will continue. First Federal allows reclassification of a troubled debt restructuring back into the general loan pool (as a non-troubled debt restructuring) if the borrower is able to refinance the loan at then-current market rates and meet all of the underwriting criteria of First Federal required of other borrowers. The refinance must be based on the borrower’s ability to repay the debt and no special concessions of rate and/or term are granted to the borrower. Reserve for unfunded commitments - Management maintains a reserve for unfunded commitments to absorb probable losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments to lend funds such as unused lines of credit and the undisbursed portion of construction loans. 101 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Management determines the adequacy of the reserve based on reviews of individual exposures, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The reserve is based on estimates and ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates. The reserve is evaluated on a regular basis and necessary adjustments are reported in earnings during the period in which they become known. The reserve for unfunded commitments is included in "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets. Real estate owned and repossessed assets - Real estate owned and repossessed assets include real estate and personal property acquired through foreclosure or repossession, and may include in-substance foreclosed properties. In-substance foreclosed properties are those properties for which the Bank has taken physical possession, regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have taken place. At the time of foreclosure, foreclosed real estate is recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new cost basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and property held for sale is carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Impairment losses on property to be held and used are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a property exceeds its fair value. Subsequent gains, losses, and expenses recognized on the sale of these properties are included in noninterest expense. The amounts ultimately recovered on foreclosed assets may differ substantially from the carrying value of the assets due to future market factors beyond management's control. Mortgage servicing rights - Originated servicing rights are recorded when mortgage loans are originated and subsequently sold with the servicing rights retained. Servicing assets are initially recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial asset. To determine the fair value of servicing rights, management uses a valuation model that calculates the present value of future cash flows. Assumptions used in the valuation model include market discount rates and anticipated prepayment speeds. In addition, estimates of the cost of servicing per loan, an inflation rate, ancillary income per loan, and default rates are used. The initial fair value relating to the servicing rights is capitalized and amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated future net servicing income. Management assesses impairment of the mortgage servicing rights based on recalculations of the present value of remaining future cash flows using updated market discount rates and prepayment speeds. Subsequent loan prepayments and changes in prepayment assumptions in excess of those forecasted can adversely impact the carrying value of the servicing rights. Impairment is assessed on a stratified basis with any impairment recognized through a valuation allowance for each impaired stratum. The servicing rights are stratified based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans: fixed-rate loans and adjustable-rate loans. The effect of changes in market interest rates on estimated rates of loan prepayments is the predominant risk characteristic for mortgage servicing rights. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds, and default rates and losses. Mortgage servicing income represents fees earned for servicing loans. Fees for servicing mortgage loans are generally based upon a percentage of the principal balance of the loans serviced, as well as related ancillary income such as late charges. Servicing income is recognized as earned, unless collection is doubtful. The caption in the consolidated statement of operations “Mortgage servicing fees, net” includes mortgage servicing income, amortization of mortgage servicing rights, the effects of mortgage servicing run-off, and impairment. Income taxes - First Federal accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for their future tax consequences, attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 102 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Premises and equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized and computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows: Buildings Furniture, fixtures, and equipment Software Automobiles 37.5 - 50 years 3 - 10 years 3 years 5 years Transfers of financial assets - Transfers of an entire financial asset, a group of financial assets, or a participating interest in an entire financial asset are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when: (1) the assets have been isolated from First Federal, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) First Federal does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. The mortgage loans that are sold with recourse provisions are accounted for as sales until such time as the loan defaults. Periodically, First Federal sells mortgage loans with “life of the loan” recourse provisions, requiring First Federal to repurchase the loan at any time if it defaults. The remaining balance of such loans at June 30, 2016 and 2015, was approximately $7.2 million and $7.4 million, respectively. Of these loans, two loans were repurchased for a total of $151,000 during the year ended June 30, 2016. Two loans were also repurchased in the amount of $335,000 during the year ended June 30, 2015. There is an associated allowance of $57,000 and $94,000 at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets related to these loans. Bank-owned life insurance - The carrying amount of life insurance approximates fair value. Fair value of life insurance is estimated using the cash surrender value, less applicable surrender charges. The change in cash surrender value is included in noninterest income. An additional $10.0 million of life insurance was purchased in August 2016. Off-balance-sheet credit-related financial instruments - In the ordinary course of business, First Federal has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under lines of credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Advertising costs - First Federal expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Comprehensive income (loss) - Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, and gains and losses be included in net income (loss). Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, such items, along with net income (loss), are components of comprehensive income (loss). Fair value measurements - Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions (Note 14). Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates. Segment information - First Federal is engaged in the business of attracting deposits and providing lending services. Substantially all income is derived from a diverse base of commercial, mortgage, and consumer lending activities and investments. The Company’s activities are considered to be a single industry segment for financial reporting purposes. Employee Stock Ownership Plan - The cost of shares issued to the ESOP but not yet allocated to participants is shown as a reduction of shareholders' equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participants' accounts. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings while dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce debt and accrued interest. 103 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Earnings (loss) per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income or (loss), reduced by earnings allocated to participating shares of restricted stock, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As ESOP shares are committed to be released they become outstanding for EPS calculation purposes. ESOP shares not committed to be released are not considered outstanding for basic or diluted EPS calculations. The basic EPS calculation excludes the dilutive effect of all common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average potential dilution that could occur if all potentially dilutive securities or other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock using the treasury stock method. According to the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings per Share, nonvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. At this time the Company has no share-based payment awards nor paid a dividend. Recently issued accounting pronouncements - In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 one year. ASU No. 2014-09 created Topic 606 and supersedes Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes 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. In general, the new guidance requires companies to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU No. 2015-14 is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. For financial reporting purposes, the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805), which simplifies the accounting for measurement period adjustments. The ASU simplifies accounting for business combinations by not requiring retrospective adjustments of estimated amounts. Instead, the effect on earnings by line item as a result of changes in provisional amounts will be separately disclosed in the period for which the accounting of the combination is complete. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-16 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. Prior to this amendment, entities were required to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting, or by the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. The ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The main provisions of this ASU address the valuation and impairment of equity securities along with enhanced disclosures about those investments. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values will be treated in the same manner as other financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about 104 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS leasing arrangements. The principal change required by this ASU relates to lessee accounting, and is that for operating leases, a lessee is required to (1) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position, (2) recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis, and (3) classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight- line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 also changes disclosure requirements related to leasing activities, and requires certain qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of the amendments in ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which amends the revenue recognition standard that was issued in 2014. The amendments in this ASU clarify the guidance on assessing collectability, presenting sales taxes, measuring noncash consideration, and certain transition matters. ASU 2016-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Loss, which updates the guidance on recognition and measurement of credit losses for financial assets. The new requirements, known as the current expected credit loss model (CECL) will require entities to adopt an impairment model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2015 and 2014 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2016 presentation with no effect on net income or equity. 105 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 2 -

At June 30, 2016, there were 15 investment securities with $1.3 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $65.6 million. At June 30, 2015, there were 54 investment securities with $2.1 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $157.7 million. The unrealized losses on investments in debt securities relate principally to the general change in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, that has occurred since the securities’ purchase dates, and such unrecognized losses or gains will continue to vary with general interest rate level fluctuations in the future. As management does not intend to sell the securities, and it is not likely they will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary. The unrealized losses on investment and mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate changes. Certain investments in a loss position are guaranteed by government entities or government sponsored entities. It is expected that securities in a loss position would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and the Company does not intend to sell the securities and believes it is not likely it will be required to sell these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other than temporarily impaired. There were no OTTI losses during the years ended June 30, 2016 or 2015. 109 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment and mortgage-backed securities by contractual maturity are shown in the following tables at the dates indicated.

In the process of identifying loans as impaired, management takes into consideration factors that include payment history and status, collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments in the future. Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically do not result in a loan being classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and shortfalls is considered by management on a case-by-case basis after taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loans and the borrowers, including payment history and amounts of any payment shortfall, length and reason for delay, and likelihood of return to stable performance. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for all loans in the portfolio except smaller balance homogeneous loans and certain qualifying TDR loans. 114 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following table presents a summary of loans individually evaluated for impairment by portfolio segment at the dates indicated: June 30, 2016 2015 Recorded Investments (Loan Balance Less Charge-off) Unpaid Principal Balance Related Allowance Recorded Investments (Loan Balance Less Charge-off) Unpaid Principal Balance Related Allowance (In thousands) $ 2,386 $ 2,728 $ — $ 3,502 $ 4,162 $ With no allowance recorded: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Home equity Other consumer Commercial business Total With an allowance recorded: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Home equity Other consumer Commercial business Total Total impaired loans: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Home equity Other consumer Commercial business — 475 — 138 — — — 558 — 203 47 — 2,999 3,536 3,715 122 1,182 91 492 111 360 3,910 122 1,187 115 527 137 360 6,073 6,358 6,101 122 1,657 91 630 111 360 6,638 122 1,745 115 730 184 360 — — — — — — — 60 1 11 11 19 63 196 361 60 1 11 11 19 63 196 361 503 355 17 209 — — 503 416 48 322 10 180 4,586 5,641 3,904 127 1,008 142 426 164 403 4,157 126 1,008 166 441 181 403 6,174 6,482 7,406 630 1,363 159 635 164 403 8,319 629 1,424 214 763 191 583 — — — — — — — — 161 — 75 18 54 77 44 429 161 — 75 18 54 77 44 $ 10,760 $ 12,123 $ 429 Total $ 9,072 $ 9,894 $ 115 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following table presents the average recorded investment in loans individually evaluated for impairment and the related interest income recognized for the periods shown: Years Ended June 30, 2016 2015 2014 Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized (In thousands) With no allowance recorded: One- to four-family $ 2,178 $ Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Home equity Other consumer Commercial business Total With an allowance recorded: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Home equity Other consumer Commercial business Total Total impaired loans: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Home equity Other consumer Commercial business 284 325 14 186 3 19 3,009 3,928 166 1,098 141 503 149 367 6,352 6,106 450 1,423 155 689 152 386 69 — 12 — 7 3 — 91 200 6 69 9 31 9 22 346 269 6 81 9 38 12 22 $ 4,018 $ 162 $ 5,101 $ 173 543 1,284 237 221 — 26 6,329 3,223 128 1,504 185 593 101 454 6,188 7,241 671 2,788 422 814 101 480 17 21 4 8 2 4 218 227 6 49 14 28 8 23 355 389 23 70 18 36 10 27 — 3,015 61 601 — — 8,778 3,780 — 3,277 226 786 — — 8,069 8,881 — 6,292 287 1,387 — — — 40 12 18 — — 243 206 — 283 16 26 — — 531 379 — 323 28 44 — — Total $ 9,361 $ 437 $ 12,517 $ 573 $ 16,847 $ 774 Interest income recognized on a cash basis on impaired loans for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, was $376,000, $473,000, and $594,000, respectively. 116 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following table presents the recorded investment in nonaccrual loans by class of loan at the dates indicated: One- to four-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Home equity Other consumer Total nonaccrual loans June 30, 2016 2015 (In thousands) 2,413 $ 474 91 167 112 3,257 $ 4,232 147 159 181 164 4,883 $ $ Past due loans - Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due.

An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and pay capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that First Federal will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. When First Federal classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish a specific allowance to address the risk specifically or First Federal may allow the loss to be addressed in the general allowance. General allowances represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities but that, unlike specific allowances, have not been specifically allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as a loss, it is required to charge off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Assets that do not currently expose First Federal to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but possess identified weaknesses are designated as either watch or special mention assets; risk ratings 4 and 5 in our risk rating system, respectively. At June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, First Federal had $4.6 million and $9.9 million, respectively, of loans classified as substandard and no loans classified as doubtful or loss. Loans not otherwise classified are considered pass graded loans and are rated 1-3 in our risk rating system. Additionally, First Federal categorizes loans as performing or nonperforming based on payment activity. Loans that are more than 90 days past due and nonaccrual loans are considered nonperforming. 118 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following table represents the internally assigned grade as of June 30, 2016, by class of loans: Pass Watch Special Mention Sub- Standard Total (In thousands) Real Estate: One- to four-family $ 302,841 $ 2,100 $ Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Total real estate loans Consumer: Home equity Other consumer Total consumer loans Commercial business loans 39,955 153,783 45,986 542,565 32,661 8,632 41,293 15,080 6,048 5,736 3,560 17,444 634 190 824 1,454 367 122 1,105 643 2,237 76 83 159 360 $ 3,163 $ 308,471 — 558 162 3,883 538 118 656 30 46,125 161,182 50,351 566,129 33,909 9,023 42,932 16,924 Total loans $ 598,938 $ 19,722 $ 2,756 $ 4,569 $ 625,985 The following table represents the internally assigned grade as of June 30, 2015, by class of loans: Pass Watch Special Mention Sub- Standard Total (In thousands) Real Estate: One- to four-family $ 247,491 $ 2,458 $ 794 $ 5,953 $ 256,696 Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Total real estate loans Consumer: Home equity Other consumer Total consumer loans Commercial business loans 22,907 106,072 18,426 394,896 34,969 7,622 42,591 8,449 9,550 12,960 351 25,319 501 213 714 5,795 — 5,134 113 6,041 86 77 163 62 629 1,457 237 8,276 831 286 1,117 458 33,086 125,623 19,127 434,532 36,387 8,198 44,585 14,764 Total loans $ 445,936 $ 31,828 $ 6,266 $ 9,851 $ 493,881 119 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following table represents the credit risk profile based on payment activity as of June 30, 2016, by class of loans: Real Estate: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Consumer: Home equity Other consumer Commercial business loans Nonperforming Performing Total (In thousands) $ 2,413 $ 306,058 $ — 474 91 167 112 — 46,125 160,708 50,260 33,742 8,911 16,924 308,471 46,125 161,182 50,351 33,909 9,023 16,924 Total loans $ 3,257 $ 622,728 $ 625,985 The following table represents the credit risk profile based on payment activity as of June 30, 2015, by class of loans: Real Estate: One- to four-family Multi-family Commercial real estate Construction and land Consumer: Home equity Other consumer Commercial business loans Nonperforming Performing Total (In thousands) $ 4,232 $ 252,464 $ — 147 159 181 164 — 33,086 125,476 18,968 36,206 8,034 14,764 256,696 33,086 125,623 19,127 36,387 8,198 14,764 Total loans $ 4,883 $ 488,998 $ 493,881 Troubled debt restructuring - A TDR is a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty that has been modified from its original terms and conditions in such a way that First Federal is granting the borrower a concession of some kind. First Federal has granted a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications. The modifications granted can generally be described in the following categories: Rate modification - A modification in which the interest rate is changed. Term modification - A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments, or frequency of payments is changed. Payment modification - A modification in which the dollar amount of the payment is changed. Interest-only modifications in which a loan is converted to interest-only payments for a period of time are included in this category. Combination modification - Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple categories above. Upon identifying a receivable as a troubled debt restructuring, First Federal classifies the loan as impaired for purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses. This requires the loan to be evaluated individually for impairment, generally based on the expected cash 120 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS flows under the new terms discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rates. For TDR loans that subsequently default, the method of determining impairment is generally the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs.

The refinance must be based on the borrower’s ability to repay the debt and no special concessions of rate and/or term are granted to the borrower. 123 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 4 - Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets The following table presents the activity in real estate owned and repossessed assets for the periods shown: Beginning balance Loans transferred to foreclosed assets Sales Write-downs Net gain on sales Ending balance 2016 June 30, 2015 (In thousands) 1,914 $ 810 $ 1,352 (3,591) (140) 546 2,585 (1,470) (212) 201 81 $ 1,914 $ $ $ 2014 2,265 1,138 (2,312) (306) 25 810 The following table presents the breakout of real estate owned and repossessed assets by type as of: One- to four-family residential properties Land Commercial real estate Personal property June 30, 2016 2015 (In thousands) — $ 22 — 59 81 $ 493 — 1,368 53 1,914 $ $ Note 5 - Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment consist of the following at June 30, 2016 and 2015: Land Buildings Building improvements Furniture, fixtures, and equipment Software Automobiles Construction in progress Less accumulated depreciation and amortization June 30, 2016 2015 (In thousands) $ $ 2,560 6,074 8,505 7,071 1,430 81 184 25,905 (12,386) $ 13,519 $ 2,560 6,115 7,220 6,140 1,349 81 733 24,198 (11,618) 12,580 Depreciation expense was $1.1 million, $973,000, and $1.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. 124 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Operating rental payments for buildings were $144,000, $126,000, and $103,000 for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

The entire unpaid principal balance plus any remaining interest due was paid during 2016 prior to dissolving the partnership. Note 9 - Federal Taxes on Income The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended June 30 is summarized as follows: Current Deferred 2016 2015 2014 (In thousands) 2,364 $ (907) 1,457 $ $ 647 (1,001) (354) $ $ $ 1,096 (356) 740 128 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A reconciliation of the tax provision (benefit) based on statutory corporate tax rates, estimated to be 34%, on pre-tax income and the provision (benefit) shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the years ended June 30 is summarized as follows: 2016 2015 2014 (In thousands) Income taxes computed at statutory rates $ 1,853 $ Tax credits Tax-exempt income Bank-owned life insurance income Deferred tax asset valuation allowance Other, net — (358) (39) — 1 (1,851) $ (195) (218) (35) 1,917 28 $ 1,457 $ (354) $ 1,159 (195) (357) (32) — 165 740 As a result of the bad debt deductions taken in years prior to 1988, retained earnings include accumulated earnings of approximately $6.4 million, on which federal income taxes have not been provided. If, in the future, this portion of retained earnings is used for any purpose other than to absorb losses on loans or on property acquired through foreclosure, federal income taxes may be imposed at the then- prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not contemplate that such amounts will be used for any purpose that would create a federal income tax liability; therefore, no provision has been made. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. These calculations are based on many complex factors including estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal income tax laws, and a determination of the differences between the tax and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company contributed $400,000 in cash and $9.3 million in common stock to the Foundation. Under current Federal income tax regulations, charitable contribution deductions are limited to 10% of taxable income. Accordingly, the $9.7 million contribution created a carryforward for income tax purposes with a deferred tax asset of $3.3 million and related valuation allowance of $1.9 million for financial statement reporting purposes. At June 30, 2016, the balance of the contribution carryforward totaled $8.8 million. The contribution carryforward will expire in 2020. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates whether its deferred tax assets will be realized and adjusts the amount of its valuation allowance, if necessary. There was a valuation allowance of $1.9 million at both June 30, 2016 and 2015. First Federal participated in the New Markets Tax Credit program for low-income communities beginning in fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, through June 2015. First Federal received tax credits of approximately $1.9 million over seven years. Tax benefits related to these credits were recognized for financial reporting purposes in different periods than the credits are recognized in First Federal’s income tax returns due to a yearly tax basis reduction resulting in a gain for income tax purposes at the end of the tax credit period. The financial reporting tax credit approximated $1.3 million over the seven-year period, representing the available tax credit of $1.9 million less the reduction of the tax gain of $655,000 calculated at First Federal’s current tax rate of 34%. The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 740 that require the application of a more-likely-than-not recognition criterion for the reporting of uncertain tax positions on its financial statements. The Company had no unrecognized tax assets at June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015. During the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company recognizes interest and penalties in income tax expense. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending before June 30, 2013. 129 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The components of net deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30 are summarized as follows: Deferred tax assets Allowance for loan losses Accrued compensation Nonaccrual loans Credit carryforwards Real estate owned ESOP timing differences Contribution carryforward Total deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities Deferred loan fees Unrealized gain on securities available for sale FHLB stock dividends Accumulated depreciation Deferred investment gain Other, net Total deferred tax liabilities Deferred tax asset, net 2016 2015 (In thousands) $ 2,527 $ 2,483 535 15 — 36 69 2,976 6,158 537 960 807 1,281 — 152 3,737 2,421 313 20 205 80 — 3,156 6,257 749 369 881 1,417 562 174 4,152 2,105 Deferred tax asset valuation allowance (1,917) (1,917) Deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance $ 504 $ 188 Note 10 - Benefit Plans Multi-employer Pension Plan The Bank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (the Pentegra DB Plan), a tax-qualified defined- benefit pension plan that covered substantially all employees after one year of continuous employment. Pension benefits vested over a period of five years of credited service. The Pentegra DB Plan’s Employer Identification Number is 13-5645888 and the Plan Number is 12004. The Pentegra DB Plan operates as a multi-employer plan for accounting purposes and as a multiple-employer plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. There are no collective bargaining agreements in place that require contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan. The Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan was frozen and no new benefits were allowed as of February 1, 2010. The Pentegra DB Plan is a single plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 413(c) and, as a result, all of the assets stand behind all of the liabilities. Accordingly, under the Pentegra DB Plan, contributions made by a participating employer may be used to provide benefits to participants of other participating employers. 130 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The table below presents the funded status (market value of plan assets divided by funding target) of the plan as of July 1: Source Our plan 2015 2014 Valuation Report Valuation Report 106.8% 105.3% There was no change to the funded status of the plan as of June 30, 2016. First Federal’s contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan are not more than 5% of the total contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan. First Federal’s policy is to fund pension costs as accrued. Total contributions during the years ended June 30 were: 2016 2015 2014 Date Paid Amount Date Paid Amount Date Paid Amount 10/14/2015 $ 1/4/2016 $ 74 425 499 (In thousands) 12/26/2014 $ 700 9/4/2013 $ 12/31/2013 $ 700 $ 31 763 794 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan First Federal also sponsors a nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan for members of the Board of Directors and eligible officer-level employees. This plan, approved by the Board on February 1, 2012, allows eligible participants to defer and invest a portion of their earnings in a selection of investment options identified in the plan at no expense to First Federal. All deferrals are remitted to Pentegra, the Plan Administrator, and held in a trust. The aggregate balance held in trust at June 30, 2016 was $392,000. The Company also has agreements with certain key officers that provide for potential payments upon retirement, disability, termination, change in control and death. 401(k) Plan During the year ended June 30, 1994, First Federal began participation in a multi-employer 401(k) plan funded by employees and a Bank matching program. In December 2012, the Plan converted to a single-employer 401(k) plan. Beginning July 1, 2015, employees may contribute up to 100% of their pre-tax compensation to the 401(k) plan, an increase from the 20% limitation in prior plan years. First Federal provides matching funds of 50% limited to the first 6% of salary contributed. First Federal's contributions were $159,000, $163,000, and $153,000 during the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Employee Stock Ownership Plan In connection with the mutual to stock conversion, the Company established an ESOP for eligible employees of the Company and the Bank. Employees of the Company who have been credited with at least 1,000 hours of service during a 12-month period are eligible to participate in the ESOP. Pursuant to the Plan, the ESOP purchased in the open market 8% of the common stock originally issued in the mutual to stock conversion. As of June 30, 2016, 1,048,029 shares, or 100.0% of the total, have been purchased in the open market at an average price of $12.45 per share with funds borrowed from First Northwest. The Bank will make contributions to the ESOP in amounts necessary to amortize the ESOP loan payable to First Northwest over a period of 20 years, bearing estimated interest at 2.46%. Shares purchased by the ESOP with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account and allocated to ESOP participants on a pro rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank's discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on the ESOP 131 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS assets. Annual principal and interest payments of $810,000 and $274,000 were made by the ESOP during the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the average daily market prices of the shares and the shares become outstanding for EPS computations. The compensation expense is accrued monthly throughout the year. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares will be recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP shares will be recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest. Compensation expense related to the ESOP for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $677,000 and $216,000, respectively. Shares held by the ESOP as of the dates indicated are as follows: June 30, 2016 June 30, 2015 (Dollars in thousands) Allocated shares Unallocated shares Total ESOP shares 70,356 977,673 1,048,029 Fair value of unallocated shares $ 12,456 17,509 935,290 952,799 11,532 Stock Options and Restricted Stock On November 16, 2015, the Company's shareholders approved the First Northwest Bancorp 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the "EIP"), which provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to eligible participants. The cost of awards under the EIP generally is based on the fair value of the awards on their grant date. The maximum number of shares that may be utilized for awards under the EIP is 1,834,050. Under the EIP stock options may be granted that, upon exercise, result in the issuance of up to 1,310,036 shares of common stock and up to 524,014 shares of restricted stock may be awarded. Shares of common stock issued under the EIP may be authorized but unissued shares or repurchased shares. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company purchased and retired 423,700 shares of common stock to be used for future stock awards. As of June 30, 2016, no awards had been granted. On July 7, 2016, the Company reissued 402,500 shares of common stock and granted them as restricted share awards to directors and certain employees pursuant to the EIP. The restricted shares will vest in equal installments of 20% per year over a five-year period. Note 11 - Regulatory Capital Requirements Under Federal regulations, pre-conversion retained earnings are restricted for the protection of pre-conversion depositors. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies. 132 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table that follows) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations) and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Effective January 1, 2015 (with some changes transitioned into full effectiveness over two to four years), the Bank is subject to capital requirements which created a required ratio for common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital, increased the leverage and Tier 1 capital ratios, changed the risk-weightings of certain assets for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios, created an additional capital conservation buffer over the required capital ratios and changed what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting these various capital requirements. The Bank is required to maintain additional levels of Tier 1 common equity over the minimum risk-based capital levels before it may pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses. The minimum requirements are a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital (CET1 capital) to total risk-weighted assets the (“CET1 risk- based ratio”) of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%, a total capital ratio of 8.0%, and a leverage ratio of 4.0%. In addition to the capital requirements, there were a number of changes in what constitutes regulatory capital, subject to a certain transition period. These changes include the phasing-out of certain instruments as qualifying capital. The Bank does not have any of these instruments. Mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets over designated percentages of CET1 are deducted from capital, subject to a transition period ending December 31, 2017. CET1 consists of Tier 1 capital less all capital components that are not considered common equity. In addition, Tier 1 capital includes accumulated other comprehensive income, which includes all unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt and equity securities, subject to a transition period ending December 31, 2017. Because of the Bank’s asset size, the Bank is not considered an advanced approaches banking organization and has elected to permanently opt-out of the inclusion of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt and equity securities in its capital calculations. The requirements also include changes in the risk-weighting of assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposure. These include a 150% risk weight (up from 100%) for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and for non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise in nonaccrual status; a 20% (up from 0%) credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is not unconditionally cancellable; and a 250% risk weight (up from 100%) for mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital. In addition to the minimum CET1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios, the Bank will have to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. This capital conservation buffer requirement began to be phased in starting in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year until fully implemented in January 2019. Under the new standards, in order to be considered well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain a CET1 risk-based ratio of 6.5% (new), a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 8% (increased from 6%), a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% (unchanged) and a leverage ratio of 5% (unchanged). As of June 30, 2016, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized First Federal as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed First Federal’s category. At periodic intervals, the DFI and FDIC routinely examine First Federal as part of its legally prescribed oversight of the banking industry. A future examination by the DFI and FDIC could include a review of certain transactions or other amounts reported in First Federal’s consolidated financial statements. Based on these examinations, the regulators can direct that First Federal’s consolidated financial statements be adjusted in accordance with their findings. In view of the uncertain regulatory environment in which First Federal operates, the extent, if any, to which a forthcoming regulatory examination may ultimately result in adjustments to the accompanying consolidated financial statements cannot presently be determined. 133 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS At June 30, 2016 and 2015, regulatory capital for First Federal was calculated in accordance with the FDIC’s regulatory capital guidelines. First Federal’s actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table: Actual For Capital Adequacy Purposes To Be Categorized As Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provision Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (Dollars in thousands) $ 132,800 21.36% $ 187,846 29.92 132,800 187,846 140,237 195,283 132,800 187,846 21.36 29.92 22.55 31.10 13.77 18.73 27,982 28,252 37,310 37,670 49,746 50,227 38,566 40,124 4.50% $ 4.50 6.00 6.00 8.00 8.00 4.00 4.00 40,419 40,809 49,746 50,227 6.50% 6.50 8.00 8.00 62,183 62,783 10.00 10.00 48,208 50,155 5.00 5.00 $ 129,618 23.76% $ 24,549 4.50% $ 35,460 6.50% 129,618 23.76 32,733 6.00 43,643 8.00 136,443 25.01 43,643 8.00 54,554 10.00 129,618 14.53 35,695 4.00 44,618 5.00 As of June 30, 2016 (1) Common equity tier 1 capital Bank only Consolidated company Tier 1 risk-based capital Bank only Consolidated company Total risk-based capital Bank only Consolidated company Tier 1 leverage capital Bank only Consolidated company As of June 30, 2015 Common equity tier 1 capital Bank only Tier 1 risk-based capital Bank only Total risk-based capital Bank only Tier 1 leverage capital Bank only (1) As a small bank holding company, First Northwest Bancorp is not required to file regulatory ratios until March 31, 2017. Ratios were calculated voluntarily during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 in preparation of the filing requirement. Note 12 - Related Party Transactions Certain directors and executive officers are also customers who transact business with First Federal. All loans and commitments included in such transactions were made in compliance with applicable laws on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present any other unfavorable features. 134 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following table presents the activity in loans to directors and executive officers for the periods shown: Beginning balance Loan advances Loan repayments Reclassifications1 Ending balance At or For the Year Ended June 30, 2016 2015 2014 (In thousands) 817 $ 1,226 $ 715 (76) — 36 (49) (396) 1,456 $ 817 $ $ $ 1,231 187 (105) (87) 1,226 1 Represents loans that were once considered related party but are no longer considered related party or loans that were not related party that subsequently became related party loans. Deposits and certificates from related parties totaled $1.4 million and $3.1 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies First Federal is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments generally represent a commitment to extend credit in the form of loans. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. First Federal’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. First Federal uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Management does not anticipate any material loss as a result of these transactions. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established by the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. First Federal evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. First Federal did not incur any significant losses on its commitments for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk at June 30: Commitments to grant loans Standby letters of credit Unfunded commitments under lines of credit or existing loans 2016 2015 (In thousands) $ 1,111 $ 401 65,151 4,183 201 38,956 Legal contingencies - Various legal claims may arise from time to time in the normal course of business, which, in the opinion of management, have no current material effect on First Federal’s consolidated financial statements. Significant group concentrations of credit risk - Concentration of credit risk is the risk associated with a lack of diversification, such as having substantial loan concentrations in a specific type of loan within First Federal’s loan portfolio, thereby exposing First Federal to greater risks resulting from adverse economic, political, regulatory, geographic, industrial, or credit developments. Loans-to-one- borrower are subject to the state banking regulations general limitation of 20 percent of First Federal’s equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income. At June 30, 2016 and 2015, First Federal’s most significant concentration of credit risk was in loans secured by real estate. These loans totaled approximately $600.0 million and $471.5 million, or 95.9% and 95.5%, of First Federal’s total loan 135 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS portfolio at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Real estate construction, including land acquisition and land development, commercial real estate, multi-family, home equity, and one- to four-family residential loans are included in the total loans secured by real estate for purposes of this calculation. After a period of decline the real estate market has begun to recover, which has helped stabilize nonperforming loans and the allowance for loan losses. At June 30, 2016 and 2015, First Federal’s most significant investment concentration of credit risk was with the U.S. Government, its agencies, and Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs). First Federal’s exposure, which results from positions in securities issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies, and securities guaranteed by GSEs, was $261.3 million and $295.4 million, or 79.6% and 80.8%, of First Federal’s total investment portfolio (including FHLB stock) at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Note 14 - Fair Value Accounting and Measurement Fair value is the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the Company’s principal market. The Company has established and documented its process for determining the fair values of its assets and liabilities, where applicable. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available, for identical or similar assets or liabilities. In the absence of quoted market prices, management determines the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities using valuation models or third-party pricing services, both of which rely on market-based parameters when available, such as interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and credit spreads, or unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs may be based on management’s judgment, assumptions, and estimates related to credit quality, liquidity, interest rates, and other relevant inputs. Any changes to valuation methodologies are reviewed by management to ensure they are relevant and justified. Valuation methodologies are refined as more market-based data becomes available. A three-level valuation hierarchy is used in determining fair value that is based on the transparency of the inputs used in the valuation process. The inputs used in determining fair value in each of the three levels of the hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Either: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; (ii) observable inputs, such as interest rates or yield curves; or (iii) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to Level 1 inputs and the lowest ranking to Level 3 inputs. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques - Securities available for sale: where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified as Level 1. Level 1 instruments include highly liquid government bonds, securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, and exchange-traded equity securities. If quoted prices are not available, management determines fair value using pricing models, quoted prices of similar securities, which are considered Level 2, or discounted cash flows. In certain cases, where there is limited activity in the market for a particular instrument, assumptions must be made to determine their fair value. Such instruments are classified as Level 3. 136 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis - Assets and liabilities are considered to be fair valued on a recurring basis if fair value is measured regularly (i.e., daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly).

Generally, nonrecurring valuation is the result of the application of other accounting pronouncements that require assets or liabilities to be assessed for impairment or recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. 137 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following tables present the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at the dates indicated: Impaired loans Real estate owned and repossessed assets Impaired loans Real estate owned and repossessed assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total June 30, 2016 (In thousands) — $ — — $ — $ — — $ 9,072 $ 81 9,153 $ 9,072 81 9,153 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total June 30, 2015 (In thousands) — $ — — $ — $ 10,760 $ — 1,914 — $ 12,674 $ 10,760 1,914 12,674 $ $ $ $ During the year ended June 30, 2016, there were no impaired loans with discounts to appraisal disposition value.

Estimated fair values require subjective judgments and are approximate. The estimates of fair value in the previous table are not necessarily representative of amounts that could be realized in actual market transactions, or of the underlying value of the Company. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company's financial instruments: 139 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Financial instruments with book value equal to fair value - The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value equal to book value. These instruments include cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks, loans held for sale, FHLB stock, accrued interest receivable, and accrued interest payable. FHLB stock is not publicly traded, however, it may be redeemed on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for any amount the Bank is not required to hold, subject to the FHLB's discretion. The fair value is therefore equal to the book value. Securities - Fair values for investment securities are primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. The pricing service uses evaluated pricing models based on market data. In the event that limited or less transparent information is provided by the third-party pricing service, fair value is estimated using secondary pricing services or non-binding third-party broker quotes. Loans receivable, net - Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, including fixed and variable one- to four-family residential real estate, commercial, and consumer loans. There is an accurate and reliable secondary market for one- to four-family residential mortgage production, and available market benchmarks are used to establish discount factors for estimating fair value for these types of loans. Commercial and consumer loans use market benchmarks when available; however, due to the varied term structures and credit issues involved, they mainly rely on cash flow projections and repricing characteristics within the loan portfolio. These amounts are discounted further by embedded probable losses expected to be realized in the portfolio. Valuations of impaired loans, real estate owned and repossessed assets are periodically performed by management, and the fair values of these loans are carried at the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell. Fair value of the underlying collateral may be determined using an appraisal performed by a qualified independent appraiser. Mortgage servicing rights - The estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. Deposits - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing deposits, savings and interest checking accounts, and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of June 30, 2016 and 2015. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Borrowings - The fair value of FHLB advances and other borrowings are calculated using a discounted cash flow method, adjusted for market interest rates and terms to maturity. Off-balance-sheet financial instruments - Commitments to extend credit represent all off-balance-sheet financial instruments. The fair value of these commitments is not significant. Note 15 - Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect 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 entity. Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same amount at June 30, 2016 as the Company does not have any additional potential dilutive common shares. 140 FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to compute basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods shown.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures (i) Disclosure controls and procedures. An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company’s senior management as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures in effect as of June 30, 2016 were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act was (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. (a) Management's report on internal control over financial reporting. First Northwest Bancorp's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act of 1934. The Company's internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This process includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time. The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Based on that assessment, the Company's management believes that, as of June 30, 2016, First Northwest Bancorp's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. Moss Adams LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the Company's consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, which is included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. (b) Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm. The “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K is incorporated herein by reference. (c) Changes in Internal Controls. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the year ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
