Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. THE MEASURE OF OUR SUCCESS Our Communities.... Our Future Annual Report 2013 About the Cover The Measure Of Our Success Our focus on building and maintaining strong customer and community relationships has been the inspiration for this year’s Annual Report cover. These are the building blocks responsible for Lake Shore Savings’ solid foun- dation and current 122-year history, that contribute every year to our success. images, As evidenced by the represented our employees and officers unselfishly partici- pate in Lake Shore Savings’ corporate mission of Putting People First. Corporate Profile Serving the financial needs of consumers and businesses in Western New York. Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. is the parent company of Lake Shore Savings Bank, originally chartered as a savings and loan association in New York State in 1891. Lake Shore Savings Bank is a community-oriented bank dedicated to serving the financial needs of con- sumers and businesses in Western New York. In April 2006, the Bank con- verted into the federal mutual holding company structure. As part of that process, Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. con- ducted an initial public offering and became a public company. Total assets as of December 31, 2013 were $482.2 million. In 2013, Lake Shore Savings Bank cele- brated more than 122 years of service to the community since opening its first branch in Dunkirk, New York. The Bank opened its 11th branch office in Snyder, New York during the second quarter of 2013. The Bank’s 11 full ser- vice branches and 18 ATMs are locat- ed throughout Chautauqua and Erie counties. The Bank maintains its cor- porate headquarters in Dunkirk, New York. Lake Shore Savings Bank serves cus- tomers’ financial needs at every stage of life – from the first savings account, to home mortgages, to small busi- ness loans, to retirement accounts. The Bank specializes in high-quality, personal customer service. Its primary business is in residential mortgages and commercial real estate loans to small business customers. Lake Shore Savings Bank supports its markets through a Community Rein- vestment Fund. This program makes money available to area clubs, sports teams, civic groups, schools, charita- ble organizations and other non-prof- it groups. After all, we’re dedicated to “Putting People First” throughout the communities we serve. “The Measure of Success” For community banks in general, and Lake Shore Savings in particular, the harder we work at helping our customers and communities succeed, the better our results. During 2013, Lake Shore Savings achieved record financial performance even though the economic environment continued to be challenging for banks. Our re- cord performance was achieved, in part, by remaining focused on the needs of the communities we serve, and by working to enable our customers to achieve their financial goals. Whether it involved providing funding for new business growth, or helping a family to purchase the home of their dreams, our associates were able to assist. When helping the community meant supporting an initiative which positive- ly affects the environment, or raising funds for a program that helps children who must face the emotional and physical hardships of long-term debilitating treat- ment, once again our associates were there. Our team understands the importance of the role that our bank plays in the economic vitality of the communities in which our branches are located, and this awareness energizes their approach to helping our customers to reach their individ- ual definition of success. Our mission “Putting People First” focuses our associates on meeting the needs of our customers and the communities we serve. This ap- proach yields strong and consistent performance, as indicated by our 2013 results, and builds enduring long-term value for investors. 2013 – Successful Execution in a Sluggish Economy Our measure of success in 2013 was the Bank’s effectiveness at helping our custom- ers and communities to continue the process of recovering from an unprecedented and sustained economic downturn. Although the recession is over, the resulting economic recovery has been slower than expected. Federal Reserve policy has kept interest rates low during this prolonged recovery, narrowing industry margins but providing a benefit to borrowers. This has stimulated demand for new residential mortgage loans and refinancings and helped to create interest among our small business customers for loans to support business growth. During the past two years, our commercial mortgage lenders have originated approximately $35.8 million in new variable rate loans to support business investment in the commu- nities that we serve. Combined with lower funding costs, this lending activity has improved our interest rate margin, benefitted our bottom line performance and has better positioned us to react to changing interest rate scenarios. Our Company’s financial and operating performance in 2013 was solid and a re- flection of our focus on effective execution of our business plan in an environment that was characterized by narrowing margins and limited growth opportunities. We succeeded by remaining committed to our fundamental approach to banking which utilizes effective policies and procedures along with a sound approach to risk management, and is bolstered by a strong capital position along with a long-term perspective on appropriate and profitable growth. Consistent with our approach to growing our banking franchise, we seized on a promising and cost-effective opportunity to expand our customer service footprint by opening our first branch in Snyder, New York; an area with compelling demo- graphics. We are pleased by the customer response to our superior level of personal service and excited by the added scale this provides to our growing retail presence in Erie County. Our decision to enter this market area was a reflection of our princi- pled approach to expansion prospects that fit our targeted service area and offers a high probability of solid and profitable growth. Another important strategic initiative in 2013 was to better manage the Bank’s interest rate risk by working to originate credits which generally provide higher re- turns and have shorter durations than residential mortgage loans. As a result we fo- cused our attention on originating commercial real estate and business loans. This initiative yielded a substantial measure of success despite the sluggish Upstate New York economy, as it provided Lake Shore Savings with the opportunity to diversify its loan portfolio by adding variable rate loans with shorter maturities and higher yields than typical fixed rate residential mortgages loans. Our success was achieved without deviation from the effective underwriting standards which are the founda- tion for Lake Shore’s very strong asset quality metrics. Even with our increased focus on commercial lending, we plan to continue to originate residential mortgage loans going forward, and expect that one- to four-family residential mortgage loans will continue to be the dominant type of loan in our portfolio. However, we also expect that the growth of our commercial lending will work to mitigate the Bank’s interest rate risk vulnerability in future rising rate environments. Daniel P. Reininga President and Chief Executive Officer Gary W. Winger Chairman of the Board Another element of our interest rate risk strategy involves reducing and controlling the cost of funds by improving our funding mix. We accomplished this by adding more core (non-time) deposits and by focusing on building longer-term customer relationships. This approach, which involves offering competitive core deposit prod- ucts and leveraging our customer service culture, complements our commercial lending strategy and helps to attract lower cost core deposits as part of these borrower relationships. The effectiveness of this approach is evident from the growth of our average core (non-time) deposits which increased $15.6 million, or 8.7%, from the end of 2012. We believe that all of these accomplishments are reflective of a sound strategic approach to serving our Western New York market area, and are indicative of a year where we performed for our cus- tomers, for our communities and for our shareholders. Our Customer Focus Yields Solid Earnings Our financial strength, focus on meeting the needs of our commu- nities and emphasis on providing high quality customer service have made Lake Shore Savings a well-respected Western New York community bank during its 122 year history. Goodwill is earned; the community’s recognition of and respect for Lake Shore’s service cul- ture continues to bring customers through our doors regardless of whether the branch has been an established part of the community for decades or a new location in our expanded service footprint. Our community focus energizes our approach to business which in turn drives our performance. This approach continues to yield excellent bottom-line results as it did in 2013 with record net income of $3.7 million or $0.65 per diluted share, a solid and consistent outcome in a slow growth economic environment. Our bottom-line perfor- mance was a result of our net interest margin increase of 8 basis points, compared to 2012, reflecting growth in our core deposits and a reduced dependence on CDs and FHLB borrowings. Our record 2013 financial performance contributed to an already strong capital base, which exceeded all applicable regulatory requirements during the year. On December 31, 2013 the Bank’s total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 25.08%, an increase of 131 basis points from the 2012 year end, and our Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 24.36%, was up 132 basis points for the same period. We expect that our consistent financial performance will enable us to maintain a strong capital position going forward. Lake Shore’s asset quality has been, and remains, a core operating strength. Our asset quality metrics are significantly better than broad industry or peer averages and are a reflection of our solid and consistent approach to underwriting loans. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.66% on December 31, 2013, 20 basis points better than the average for all FDIC reporting savings banks at December 31, 2013. Our lower provision for loan losses in 2013, $105,000 compared to $656,000 in 2012, was reflective of fa- vorable asset quality trends throughout the year, and of net charge- offs of only $98,000 or 0.04% as a percentage of average loans. effectively deployed to grow the Bank for the benefit of our inves- tors. However, due to current regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, it was necessary for the MHC to seek approval from its members (depositors of Lake Shore Savings Bank) to waive its right to receive these dividends. In the 1st quarter of 2013, the MHC obtained approval to waive receipt of dividends declared during the following 12 months from its depositors and the Federal Reserve Board. On February 5, 2014, the MHC members once again voted to authorize the waiver of dividends declared by the Company aggregating up to $0.28 per share through February 4, 2015, and on March 6, 2014, the Federal Reserve Board approval was obtained. Measuring Success in 2014 We expect the operating environment for community banks to remain challenging in 2014 with continued low interest rates, the burden of shifting regulatory requirements, and slow growth mar- kets where banks must continue to compete for a limited number of quality lending opportunities. Despite these very significant challenges, we are encouraged by our business prospects for 2014. We have an experienced and capable team in place focused on advancing our strategic growth objectives. We expect to benefit from investments made in enhancing our “digital bank” and we plan to continue investing in the Bank’s service technology platform in 2014. Our plans include enhance- ments targeted at both individual and business banking customers and include an enhanced online bill pay product, improved ACH capabilities, a mobile banking application (“app”), and improved check capture processing. These steps will elevate the convenience and satisfaction of our customers, as well as drive a higher degree of efficiency to our service and product delivery. We don’t expect to make new investments in bricks and mortar in 2014; however, we’ll remain opportunistic in evaluating potential transactions which have the ability to move the market share needle or drive additional profitability. We will continue to focus on adding high-quality commercial credits to our balance sheet to moderate future interest rate risk, while at the same time driving organic growth in our core deposit base through expanded customer relationships. Furthermore, we have made an ongoing commitment to continue to invest in the develop- ment of our employees through leadership and training programs which emphasize customer service qualities and sales activities. As we have done in the past, we will maintain a strong financial position as an independent bank with an emphasis on profitability, fair returns for our investors, and bank safety and soundness. We will build on our success as a locally operated financial institution which remains totally invested in the success of the communities we serve. Our high performing Board of Directors will continue to provide a wealth of business experience, along with important knowledge of our customers and communities, appropriately guiding the Compa- ny’s strategic direction. We thank you for your continued strong support and we look for- ward to updating you on our progress throughout 2014. The Measure of Success for Investors Yours truly, Your Board of Directors believes that paying a meaningful dividend is an important part of providing a return on investment to our shareholders. During 2013, cash dividends of $0.28 per share of common stock were declared, and based on the closing stock price of $12.20 on December 31, 2013, the dividend provided an implied return to shareholders of 2.3% for the year. Historically, Lake Shore, MHC (the “MHC”), the parent company of Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. and Lake Shore Savings Bank, has waived its right to receive divi- dends declared on its more than 3.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Our Board believes that this capital can be more Daniel P. Reininga President and Chief Executive Officer Gary W.

A Recipe for Success... With Lake Shore Savings, the Chautauqua County IDA and Rae Foods, providing just the right ingredients Supporting Business Growth in Chautauqua County During 2013, Lake Shore Savings was instrumental in financing the first new manufacturing facility to locate in the Chautauqua Coun- ty town of Westfield, New York in approximately 40 years. This new venture for Rae Foods, Inc. is expected to result in 15 new jobs in the company’s first year of operation and up to 50 new positions over the initial five years of the business. This newest addition to the Westfield business community is the in- spiration of Beverly Braley and her daughter Rachelle McFeely. The mother and daughter team leveraged a combined 45 years of food manufacturing experience to launch their own business, when they acquired Nowinski Pierogies of New Castle, Pennsylvania in 2013. Working in conjunction with the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA), Lake Shore Savings participated in providing a funding package for Rae Foods which also included fi- nancing from the CCIDA administered AL Tech Revolving Loan Fund for working capital, machinery and equipment. Tax incentives were also provided by the CCIDA along with additional economic incen- tives approved by Empire State Development. This collaborative financing arrangement made it possible for Rae Foods to acquire, renovate and equip a 15,000 square foot facility in Westfield which became the new home of the Nowinski Pierogies manufacturing op- eration in November. Although Rae Foods is a relatively new Western New York business, many are already familiar with the company’s products which have sold since the company’s founding, in 1998, in six varieties in local corner markets. Western New Yorkers are also familiar with the quality associated with the Nowinski name, as the winner of Buffalo’s “Pierogi Power” competition in 2006. After learning that Nowinski Pierogies was available from owners who were interested in retiring and at the same time wanting to see the company continue to grow under new ownership, Beverly and Rachelle started the process of evaluating this opportunity. They came away convinced that they could, through the deployment of their solid business principles and practices, improve on an already good product, increase production efficiency and, most important substantially increase sales. As the vice president of a bakery manufacturer, Beverly was instru- mental in the company’s growth from yearly revenue of $1.0 million dollars to annual sales of more than $36 million. This understanding of driving growth in a small business will be of pivotal importance as Beverly and Rachelle work to take Nowinski Pierogies to the next level. This process was started by identifying the right manufacturing location, which just happened to be in Westfield, and which was ap- parent from the broad support provided by local, state and federally elected officials, area economic development agencies and by their new financial institution – Lake Shore Savings. The next step was the substan- tial conversion of the Fireman’s Exempt Hall in Westfield into a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility able to meet the strin- regulations gent codes and of the food industry. With the perfecting of their production lines Rae Foods has entered the market place and is providing the finest Pierogi products available to retail, food service, co-pack and private label customers. Lake Shore Savings involvement in bringing this important new business to Chautauqua County demonstrates our commitment to the markets we serve. We believe that Rae Foods has the potential to provide a significant positive economic benefit to the Village of West- field and to Chautauqua County as a whole, through the creation of a significant number of new jobs. The positive economic impact on a new company reaches far beyond the owners and the employees of the business driving additional spending to other businesses located in the community. The importance of this for the smaller communi- ties in Western New York cannot be overstated. Succeeding Beyond All Expectations Mikey’s vision quickly became a passionate goal for the Lake Shore Savings employees who accepted the challenge... to Mikey’s Way and each Lake Shore branch created its own version of a Mikey’s Way Connection Cart. Our associates shared the Mikey’s Way story with customers, community groups, local schools, Cham- bers of Commerce and area merchants. Clothing retailer Aeropost- ale contributed more than $5,000 to Lake Shore Savings’ fundraising efforts, enabling the presentation of a check for more than $26,000 to the Mikey’s Way Founda- tion in November. Our as- sociates continue to receive donations for the founda- tion along with responding to requests by area retail merchants and community groups for information on sponsoring a Mikey’s Way Connection Cart. In 2013, Lake Shore Savings was awarded the Mikey’s Way Hero Award for its efforts to raise money to support the organization. “Put- ting People First” is not simply our Bank’s mission statement, it is a fundamental belief shared by all Lake Shore Savings Bank associates. Our commitment to our customers goes beyond the daily nine to five and when we focus on meeting the needs of our community we succeed beyond all expectation. Mikey’s Way Foundation Lake Shore Savings Bank has a proud history of supporting organi- zations which provide services that help to improve the lives of the residents of our Western New York service area. These organizations address an important need within our community, have a concise mission and are efficient and effective at providing their service. Our commitment to be involved in the communities we serve, along with our dedicated approach to identifying the right opportunities for in- volvement led us to the Mikey’s Way Foundation. The mission of Mikey’s Way is to enrich the lives of children with can- cer and other life threatening conditions, by helping them to cope with the isolation, boredom and fear associated with life-threatening illnesses. This is accomplished by enabling the child to remain con- nected with their friends, family and school, helping them to cope with the long hours, days and weeks of separation that they must endure. Mikey’s Way is a non-profit organization that received its vision from founder, Michael “Mikey” Friedman, who lost his battle with cancer at the age of 19. Early in his treatment, Mikey realized that while the doctors were doing everything they could to help him physically, that long hours of treatment were taking an emotional toll on him. The more that he was able to distract himself, the better he tolerated the side effects from chemotherapy. Through research Mikey gained an understanding of the significance of the mind-body connection, and how remaining connected, could be beneficial in terms of the healing process. The Mikey’s Way organization helps children cope with long hours, days and weeks of separation from loved ones by providing gifts of iPads, tablets, and other electronic devices from the “Mikey’s Way Connection Carts” . The Bank’s involvement with Mikey’s Way was initiated in August 2012, with a commitment to sponsor one of the Mikey’s Way Con- nection Carts. The “Mikey’s Way Connection Cart” travels the pediat- ric floors of various hospitals, including Roswell Park Cancer Institute and Buffalo Children’s Hospital, giving away all forms of electronics with each child able to select the item that will work best for them. Since the foundation’s inception in 2005, it has reached over 3,000 seriously ill children. The response from our associates to the Company’s commitment to sponsor a cart has been and remains inspirational. Accepting the challenge to raise $5,000 for one of the Mikey’s Way Connection Carts, our associates dedicated the month of October 2012 to real- izing this goal. To meet the challenge they decorated branch lobbies with a tail-gate theme and raffled off Buffalo Bills tickets, held basket raffles and bake sales, made donations on “wear your jeans to work day”, held 50/50 drawings, and requested donations from customers and non-customers alike. As a result of their efforts and creativity our Bank provided over $20,000, in funding for four Mikey’s Way Connec- tion Cart visits at Roswell Park Cancer Institute and Buffalo Children’s Hospital! Lake Shore Savings renewed its relationship with Mikey’s Way in 2013 with a commitment to raise funds, as well as increase awareness and community support for the foundation.
