LEPPERT Chairman of the Board Dear Fellow Shareholders, There is no way to sugarcoat it: 2018 was a rough ride for the equity markets in general. SBBX, unfortunately, was no exception. While it would be easy to use this space to lament the market correction that took place, I believe you are owed more than that. It happened, lessons were learned, the experts and pundits have opined about the subject ad nauseum and it is now in our rearview mirror. It is time for some perspective. On so many levels, 2018 was another excellent year for our company. We closed on two major acquisitions during the calendar year, we continued what is now a multiyear trend and grew our commercial loan portfolio and deposits by double digits, our insurance subsidiary continued its winning streak by increasing its pretax profit by more than 40%, our total assets grew over 83% to $1.8 billion and we increased our net income from the previous year by more than 74%. We also successfully engineered a rebranding of the company, the bank, and our insurance subsidiary to SB One. We achieved these results because of the professionalism, dedication, and loyalty of every member of the SB One family. Adversity can affect an organization in a variety of ways, and 2018 taught us that our team not only can handle it, they thrive in it. Many organizations suffered operationally during the turbulence of last year. We did not. Our people never lost their focus. At a time when others were circling their wagons, we strengthened our team, our market share and delivered superior operating results. The most satisfying part of my job is to work alongside these fine people and witness them in action. They are an inspiration and they are by far the most important asset in our company. With the December closing of our merger with Enterprise Bank, we added Don Haake to our team as Senior Executive Vice President of Regional Banking, and Salvatore Davino and Michael Lombardi to our Board of Directors. We welcome these gentlemen, along with all of the Enterprise professionals who joined our team, and we look forward to working with them. Their contributions have already strengthened our organization and have proven that partnering with them was the right thing to do. I would like to thank our Board of Directors and management team for their confidence, continuing support and counsel. I assure you that we are all looking forward to 2019 with energy and enthusiasm. Sincerely, EDWARD J. LEPPERT Chairman of the Board From the President and CEO ANTHONY LABOZZETTA President and Chief Executive Officer Dear Fellow Shareholders, In 2018, I highlighted many of our accomplishments and noted that “the most exciting part of our journey still lies ahead of us.” This statement was not intended to be aspirational but rather an expression of my confidence in our team to continually raise the bar of expectation and performance. Any leader can take the time to lament the challenges the financial services industry currently faces—flat yield curve, compressing net interest margins, intense competition for deposits or equity markets currently disfavoring financial institutions—but to do so would mask the outstanding performance of our team and the value we have created. In just over twelve months, we closed and successfully converted two mergers. These partnerships enabled us to expand into Bergen, Essex, Union and Middlesex counties, markets that our brand of community-centric banking will thrive in. All that we expected from welcoming Community Bank of Bergen County and Enterprise Bank into our family is being delivered, and the prospects looking forward are even more promising. In 2018, we also successfully rebranded both our bank and insurance subsidiary to SB One Bank and SB One Insurance Agency, Inc., respectively. In addition, we began the build-out of our regional office in Hudson County, NJ, which will be completed in the first quarter of 2019. As President and CEO, I am proud of the many projects our team has so effectively accomplished. I am even more proud that while doing so, all of our business lines have continued their strong pace of growth and produced record core earnings per share and tangible book value expansion. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND GROWTH STRATEGY In 2018, after adjusting for merger-related expenses and other nonrecurring expenses, we again delivered record earnings of $14.7 million (or $1.86 per diluted share), up 30.4% from the previous year. This improvement is directly linked to the continued success of each of our principal business lines. Due to our intense focus on deepening the emotional connection with our customers, our commercial, retail and insurance divisions grew by double digits. As I have mentioned many times, our approach to banking continues to produce a level of stakeholder advocacy that propels our growth organically. Our capital remains strong. Our leverage, Common Equity Tier I, Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios are all well in excess of the ratios required to be considered a “well-capitalized” bank. Despite the headwinds impacting the financial markets mentioned earlier, we continued to far outpace the KBW and SNL indices by delivering an impressive shareholder return of 280% over the five-year period from 2013 through 2018. SB ONE BANCORP - PRICE CHANGE (%) NASDAQ: SBBX: 279.93% KBW Nasdaq Bank Index: 67.29% SNL U.S. Bank: 71.81% 560 460 360 260 160 60 -40 DEC 13 JUN 14 DEC 14 JUN 15 DEC 15 JUN 16 DEC 16 JUN 17 DEC 17 JUN 18 DEC 18 Growth and expansion are an important part of our business model. In addition to our merger activity, we continue to expand and grow organically. Our new Hudson County regional office in Weehawken, NJ, is nearing completion, and many of the resources needed to build out that market have been recruited and have already begun executing our plan. Lastly, to grow responsibly, we need to ensure that our infrastructure and risk management capabilities keep pace with our growth. Accordingly, we have made considerable investments to help manage the increasing scale and complexity of our organization. Critical to that endeavor, we have appointed a new Senior Risk Management Officer, who will not only oversee regulatory compliance but enhance our enterprise-wide risk management capabilities. OUR PEOPLE, OUR CUSTOMERS, AND OUR COMMUNITIES Consistently delivering outstanding performance would not be possible without a strong culture and best-in-class talent that is driven to succeed. Bringing together three similar yet distinct banking cultures in 2018 has come with challenges; however, I am pleased to say our efforts are beginning to bear fruit. The key has been staying true to our Guiding Principles, which remain the bedrock of our value system. These behaviors and attributes keep both the employee and customer experience at the epicenter of what we do and how we do it. In listening to our employees, we have heard loud and clear that they are motivated to learn and continually enhance their skillsets. Therefore, we will be launching We have faced these challenges head-on and, without exposing our organization to further undue risk, continue to deliver strong core operating results. Our team was able to achieve these results by staying focused on what we can control: building our businesses and improving operating efficiency. I believe we have the management team that can both execute our business plan and adapt to meet new and existing threats to deliver exceptional results for all of our stakeholders. To all of our employees who live by our guiding principles and work hard to execute our vision, I want to express my gratitude. Thank you for making 2018 another outstanding year for SB One Bancorp. Sincerely, ANTHONY LABOZZETTA President and Chief Executive Officer FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO CONTINUED a more robust professional development curriculum for all employees beyond our current offerings, and this will include a dedicated resource to coordinate training activities. Last year, I wrote about evaluating and investing in technology as we continue our journey toward an integrated digital banking platform that creates a seamless, unified and consistent customer experience. Our aim is to make banking simple, fast and easy from anywhere and at any time through the customer’s preferred channel. In 2018, we completed the evaluation phase, and I remain committed to putting these technologies into production during 2019. Community involvement is deeply embedded in the DNA of SB One Bank. We are true partners with our local communities, civic work organizations and social services. Through both SB One Bank and our charitable giving arm, the SB One Foundation, we donated over $400,000 to the organizations that truly make a difference in the lives of people in Northern New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area. But monetary donations are only one component of giving back. Last year, we introduced an Employee Volunteer Time Off program, encouraging our teams to devote their time and energy to causes that are important to them. LOOKING FORWARD Last year, I wrote about the challenges the financial services industry would face. Technology and new disruptors present financial institutions with long-term challenges to their business models. These threats still exist. However, I also spoke about more traditional risks such as liquidity risk and interest rate risk due to the changing shape of the yield curve and the competition for deposits putting more pressure on funding. These latter threats have clearly manifested and are having a deeper near-term effect on operating performance by way of compressing the net interest margin and adding to liquidity pressure. I expect these threats to continue in the short term. UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20549 FORM 10-K ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 TRANSITION REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 For the transition period from ________ to ________ Commission File Number 0-29030 SB ONE BANCORP (Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter) New Jersey (State or other jurisdiction of incorporation or organization) 22-3475473 (I.R.S.

Community Bank of Bergen County, NJ Acquisition On January 4, 2018, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of Community Bank of Bergen County, NJ (“Community”). In connection with the acquisition, Community merged with and into SB One Bank, with SB One Bank continuing as the surviving entity.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company also acquired certain subsidiaries of Community.

Our Business Our primary business is ownership and supervision of the Bank.   Through the Bank, we conduct a traditional commercial banking business, and offer services including personal and business checking accounts and time deposits, money market accounts and savings accounts.   We structure our specific services and charges in a manner designed to attract the business of the small and medium sized business and professional community as well as that of individuals residing, working and shopping in the northern New Jersey and New York markets.   We engage in a wide range of lending activities and offer commercial, consumer, mortgage, home equity and personal loans. Through the Bank’s subsidiary, SB One Insurance, we operate a full service general insurance agency, offering both commercial and personal lines of insurance.  We have two business segments, banking and financial services and insurance services. For financial data on the segments see Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements located elsewhere in this report. Market Area Our service area primarily consists of Sussex, Morris, Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, and Union Counties in New Jersey and Queens County, New York; however, we make loans throughout New Jersey and the New York metropolitan markets. We operate from our corporate office in Rockaway, New Jersey, and, as of December 31, 2018, our eighteen branch offices located in Andover, 1                     Augusta, Bloomfield, Edison, Fair Lawn, Franklin, Hackettstown, Kenilworth, Maywood, Montague, Newark, Newton, Oradell, Rochelle Park, Sparta, Vernon, and Wantage, New Jersey, and in Astoria, New York,  our regional office and corporate center in Rochelle Park, New Jersey and Wantage, New Jersey and our insurance agency offices in Augusta and Oradell, New Jersey.

On December 21, 2018, we announced the closing of our Andover, New Jersey branch location effective March 29, 2019. Competition We operate in a highly competitive environment competing for deposits and loans with commercial banks, thrifts and other financial institutions, many of which have greater financial resources than us.  City and other parts of New Jersey compete for the business of customers located in our service area.  have significantly higher lending limits than us and provide services to their customers which we do not offer.  Many large financial institutions in New York  Many of these institutions Management believes we are able to compete on a substantially equal basis with our competitors because we provide responsive personalized services through management’s knowledge and awareness of our service area, customers and business. Personnel At December 31, 2018, we employed 216 full-time employees and 21 part-time employees.  None of these employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement and we believe that our employee relations are good. Supervision and Regulation The Company, the Bank and certain of its non-banking subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation under federal and state laws.   The regulatory framework applicable to bank holding companies and their subsidiary banks is intended to protect depositors, federal deposit insurance fund (the “DIF”) of the FDIC, and the U.S. banking system as a whole. This system is not designed to protect investors in bank holding companies such as the Company.  Set forth below is a summary of the significant laws and regulations applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries. The summary that follows is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the statutes, regulations, and policies that are described. Statutes, regulations and policies are subject to ongoing review by Congress, state legislatures and federal and state regulatory agencies.  material effect on the Company’s operations and financial performance. Financial reform legislation and regulations, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), may have adverse implications on the financial industry, the competitive environment and our ability to conduct business.   As a result, we may incur additional expenses to comply with applicable laws and regulations, which may increase our costs of operations and adversely impact our earnings.  A change in any statute, regulation or policy applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries may have a Overview The Company is a separate and distinct legal entity from the Bank.  is regulated under the BHC Act, and is subject to inspection, examination and supervision by the FRB.  subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as administered by the SEC.  Company’s common stock is listed on the NASDAQ under the trading symbol, “SBBX,” and the Company is subject to the NASDAQ rules for listed companies.   The  As a registered bank holding company, the Company  The Company is also The Bank is organized as a state-chartered commercial bank pursuant to the banking laws and regulations of the Department.  The Bank is subject to the supervision of, and to regular examination by, the Department as its primary chartering authority, as well as by the FDIC as its primary federal regulator and deposit insurer.   Financial products and services offered by the Company and the Bank are subject to federal consumer protection laws and regulations promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”).  protection laws which are enforced by state attorneys general.  deposit insurance limits in accordance with FDIC laws and regulations.  are subject to federal and state laws and regulations, including regulations of the FRB, the FDIC and the Department, respectively.  Insurance agencies are licensed by the State of New Jersey and are regulated by the Department under state law.  The Company, the Bank and certain of its nonbank subsidiaries must also comply with state consumer  The Bank`s deposits are insured by the FDIC up to the applicable  The non-bank subsidiaries of the Company and the Bank 2                              Several provisions of the Dodd- The Dodd-Frank Act significantly changed the U.S. financial regulatory landscape.  Frank Act are subject to further rulemaking, guidance and interpretation by the federal banking agencies.   As a result, management cannot predict the ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act or the extent to which it could affect operations of the Company and the Bank. Federal Bank Holding Company Regulation The Company is a bank holding company under the BHC Act.   The BHC Act generally limits the business of the Company to banking, managing or controlling banks, and other activities that the FRB has determined to be so closely related to banking “as to be a proper incident thereto.”  its business operations and those of its subsidiaries.  The Company is required to file periodic reports with the FRB and other information regarding The BHC Act requires, among other things, prior FRB approval where a bank holding company proposes to (i) acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any other bank, (ii) acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of any class of voting stock of any bank or its parent company (unless it owns a majority of such bank’s voting shares) or (iii) merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company.  have a substantially anti-competitive effect, unless the anti-competitive impact of the proposed transaction is clearly outweighed by a greater public interest in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served. When reviewing acquisitions or mergers, the FRB also considers, among other factors: (i) capital adequacy; (ii) the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the companies and the banks concerned; (iii) the convenience and needs of the community to be served; (iv) banks' record under the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”); and (v) the effectiveness of the companies and the banks in combating money laundering.  The FRB will not approve any acquisition, merger, or consolidation that would The BHC Act also generally prohibits a bank holding company, with certain limited exceptions, from (i) acquiring or retaining direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting stock of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company; or (ii) engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or performing services for its subsidiaries, unless such non banking business is determined by the FRB to be  In making such determinations, so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks “as to be properly incident thereto”.  the FRB is required to weigh the expected benefits to the public, such as, greater convenience, increased competition or gains in efficiency, against the possible adverse effects, such as, undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound banking practices.

The BHC Act requires the prior FRB approval for a bank holding company to acquire, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of any class of voting securities of commercial bank or its parent holding company and for a company, other than a bank holding company, to acquire 25% or more of any class of voting securities of a bank or bank holding company. Under the Change in Bank Control Act, any person, including a company, may not acquire, directly or indirectly, control of a bank without providing 60 days` prior notice and receiving a non-objection from the appropriate federal banking agency. Under the Bank Merger Act, the prior approval of the appropriate federal banking agency is required for insured depository institutions to merge or enter into purchase and assumption transactions. In reviewing applications seeking approval of merger and purchase and assumption transactions, the federal banking agencies will consider, among other things, the competitive effect and public benefits of the transactions, the capital position of the combined banking organization, the applicant`s performance record under the CRA, and the effectiveness of the subject organizations in combating money laundering activities. For further information relating to the CRA, see "Community Reinvestment Act of 1977" below. Source of Strength Doctrine FRB policy requires that bank holding companies act as a source of financial and managerial strength to their subsidiary banks.  Section 616 of the Dodd-Frank Act codifies the requirement that bank holding companies serve as a source of financial 3                     strength to their subsidiary depository institutions.   As a result, the Company is expected to commit resources to support the Bank, including at times when the Company may not be in a financial position to provide such resources.  Any capital loan by the Company to the Bank is subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of the Bank.   The U.S. Bankruptcy Code provides that, in the event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to priority of payment. Volcker Rule Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act, commonly known as the Volcker Rule, restricts the ability of banking entities, such as the Company, from: (i) engaging in “proprietary trading” and (ii) investing in or sponsoring certain types of funds (“Covered Funds”), subject to certain limited exceptions. The implementing regulation defines a Covered Fund to include certain investments such as collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) and collateralized debt obligation securities. The regulation also provides, among other exemptions, an exemption for CLOs meeting certain requirements.   The Company is fully compliant with the Volcker Rule.  Given the Company’s size and the scope of its activities, the Company's implementation of the Volcker Rule had no significant effect on its financial statements. Dividend Rights The principal source of the Company’s liquidity is dividends from the Bank.   As a New Jersey-chartered bank, the Bank may declare and pay dividends only if, after payment of the dividend, the capital stock of the Bank will be unimpaired and either the Bank will have a surplus of not less than 50% of its capital stock or the payment of the dividend will not reduce the Bank’s surplus. The Company`s ability to pay dividends is subject to the regulatory authority of the FRB. The supervisory concern of the FRB focuses on a bank holding company`s capital position, its ability to meet its financial obligations as they come due, and its capacity to act as a source of financial strength to its insured depository institution subsidiaries. In addition, FRB policy discourages the payment of dividends by a bank holding company that is not supported by current operating earnings. Capital Adequacy and Prompt Corrective Action In July 2013, the FRB, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) and the FDIC approved final rules (the “Capital Rules”) that established a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The Capital Rules generally implement the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s (the “Basel Committee”) December 2010 final capital framework referred to as “Basel III” for strengthening international capital standards. In addition, the Capital Rules implement certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, including the requirements of Section 939A to remove references to credit ratings from the federal banking agencies’ rules. The Capital Rules substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries. The risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposures and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid, low-risk assets. The Capital Rules apply on a consolidated basis to bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $1 billion or more, and to certain bank holding companies with less than $1 billion in assets if they are engaged in substantial non-banking activity or meet certain other criteria.   Under FRB reporting requirements, a bank holding company that reaches $1 billion or more in total consolidated assets as of June 30 of the preceding year must begin reporting its consolidated capital beginning in March of the following year. The threshold for capital consolidation was raised from $500 million to $1 billion effective May 15, 2015. The Company will begin reporting its consolidated capital on March, 31, 2019, as it reached $1 billion in total consolidated assets as of June 30, 2018. The Capital Rules: (i) require a capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”) and related regulatory capital ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets; (ii) specify that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting certain revised requirements; (iii) mandate that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital; and (iv) expand the scope of the deductions from and adjustments to capital as compared to existing regulations. The Capital Rules revised the definitions and the components of regulatory capital and impacted  The Capital Rules became effective for the Bank the calculation of the numerator in banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios.  on January 1, 2015, subject to phase-in periods for certain components and other provisions.   Under the Capital Rules, for most banking organizations, the most common form of Additional Tier 1 capital is non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and the most common forms of Tier 2 capital are subordinated notes and a portion of the allocation for loan losses, in each case, subject to the Capital Rules’ specific requirements. 4             Pursuant to the Capital Rules, the minimum capital ratios are as follows: • • • • 4.5% CET1 to risk-weighted assets; 6.0% Tier 1 capital (CET1 plus Additional Tier 1 capital) to risk-weighted assets; 8.0% Total capital (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets; and 4.0% Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets as reported on consolidated financial statements (the “leverage ratio”). The Capital Rules also requires a “capital conservation buffer,” composed entirely of CET1, in addition to these minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the capital conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity and other capital instrument repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. When fully phased-in on January 1, 2019, the capital standards applicable to the Bank will include an additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of CET1, effectively resulting in minimum ratios inclusive of the capital conservation buffer of (i) CET1 to risk- weighted assets of at least 7%, (ii) Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.5%, and (iii) Total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10.5%. The Capital Rules provide for a number of deductions from and adjustments to CET1. These include, for example, the requirement that mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences that could not be realized through net operating loss carrybacks and significant investments in non-consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one such category exceeds 10% of CET1 or all such items, in the aggregate, exceed 15% of CET1. The deduction and adjustments will be incrementally phased in between January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2019. In addition, under the prior general risk-based capital rules, the effects of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (“AOCI”) items included in shareholders’ equity (for example, marks-to-market of securities held in the available-for-sale portfolio) under U.S. GAAP are reversed for the purposes of determining regulatory capital ratios. Pursuant to the Capital Rules, the effects of certain AOCI items are not excluded; however, banking organizations not using the advanced approaches, including the Bank were permitted to make a one-time permanent election to continue to exclude these items in January 2015.  elected to make the one-time permanent election to exclude certain AOCI items for regulatory capital ratios. The Capital Rules also preclude certain hybrid securities, such as trust preferred securities issued after May 19, 2010, from inclusion in bank holding companies’ Tier 1 capital.   The Bank Implementation of the deductions and other adjustments to CET1 began on January 1, 2015 and will be phased-in over a 4-year period (beginning at 40% on January 1, 2015 and an additional 20% per year thereafter). The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and increases by 0.625% on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The Capital Rules prescribe a standardized approach for risk weightings, generally ranging from 0% for U.S. governmental and agency securities, to 600% for certain equity exposures, and resulting in higher risk weights for a variety of asset classes. Pursuant to Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the "FDIA"), federal banking agencies are required to take "prompt corrective action" should a depository institution fail to meet certain capital adequacy standards. For purposes of prompt corrective action, to be: (i) well-capitalized, a bank must have a total risk based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of at least 8%, a CET1 risk based capital ratio of at least 6.5%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 5%; (ii) adequately capitalized, a bank must have a total risk based capital ratio of at least 4.5%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4%; (iii) undercapitalized, a bank would have a total risk based capital ratio of less than 8%, a Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of less than 6%, a CET1 risk based capital ratio of less than 4.5%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of less than 4%; (iv) significantly undercapitalized, a bank would have a total risk based capital ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of less than 4%, a CET1 risk based capital ratio of less than 3%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of less than 3%; and (v) critically undercapitalized, a bank would have a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is less than or equal to 2%. Bank holding companies and insured banks also may be subject to potential enforcement actions of varying levels of severity by the federal banking agencies for unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their business, or for violation of any law, rule, regulation, condition imposed in writing by the agency or term of a written agreement with the agency. In more serious cases, enforcement actions may include the issuance of directives to increase capital; the issuance of formal and informal agreements; 5   the imposition of civil monetary penalties; the issuance of a cease and desist order that can be judicially enforced; the issuance of removal and prohibition orders against officers, directors, and other institution-affiliated parties; the termination of the bank's deposit insurance; the appointment of a conservator or receiver for the bank; and the enforcement of such actions through injunctions or restraining orders based upon a judicial determination that the agency would be harmed if such equitable relief was not granted. Management believes that the Bank is in compliance, and will remain in compliance, with the targeted capital ratios as such capital requirements are phased in. Depositor Preference The FDIA provides that, in the event of the “liquidation or other resolution” of an insured depository institution, the claims of depositors of the institution, including the claims of the FDIC as subrogee of insured depositors, and certain claims for administrative expenses of the FDIC as a receiver, will have priority over other general unsecured claims against the institution. If an insured depository institution fails, insured and uninsured depositors, along with the FDIC, will have priority in payment ahead of unsecured, non-deposit creditors, including the parent bank holding company, with respect to any extensions of credit they have made to such insured depository institution Federal Deposit Insurance The Bank`s deposit accounts are fully insured by the DIF of the FDIC up to the deposit insurance limits of $250,000 per depositor, per insured institution, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.   Assessment rates are calculated using formulas that take into account the risk of the institution being assessed.  The FDIC uses a risk-based assessment system that imposes insurance premiums based upon a risk matrix that accounts  The risk matrix uses different risk categories distinguished  The base for deposit insurance assessments is consolidated average assets less average for a bank's capital level and supervisory rating (“CAMELS rating”).  by capital levels and supervisory ratings.  tangible equity.  addition to deposit insurance assessments, the FDIA provides for additional assessments to be imposed on insured depository institutions to pay for the cost of Financing Corporation (“FICO”) funding.   The FICO is a mixed-ownership government corporation established by the Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987, whose sole purpose was to function as a financing vehicle for the now defunct Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corporation.  The FICO assessments are adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment base of the DIF and do not vary depending upon a depository institution’s capitalization or supervisory evaluation.  In Under the FDIA, the FDIC may terminate deposit insurance upon a finding that an insured depository institution has engaged in unsafe and 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. The Company’s management is not aware of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to the termination of deposit insurance. Reserve Requirements FRB regulations require insured depository institutions to maintain non-interest earning reserves against their transaction accounts (primary interest-bearing and regular checking accounts).   The Bank’s required reserves can be in the form of vault cash.  If vault cash does not fully satisfy the required reserves, in the form of a balance maintained with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.   In 2018 FRB regulations required that reserves be maintained against aggregate transaction accounts, except for transaction accounts which are exempt up to $16.0 million. Transaction accounts greater than $16.0 million up to and including  A 10% reserve ratio will be assessed on transaction accounts in excess of $122.3 $122.3 million have a reserve requirement of 3%.   The Bank was in compliance with these reserve requirements. million. The FRB makes annual adjustments to the tiered reserves.  Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders Under federal law, transactions between insured depository institutions and their affiliates are governed by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act (“FRA”) and its implementing Regulation W. In a bank holding company context, at a minimum, the parent holding company of a bank, and any companies which are controlled by such parent holding company, are affiliates of the bank. Generally, sections 23A and 23B of the FRA are intended to protect insured depository institutions from losses arising from transactions with non-insured affiliates by limiting the extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may engage in covered transactions with any one affiliate and with all affiliates of the bank in the aggregate, and requiring that such transactions be on terms consistent with safe and sound banking practices. 6     Further, Section 22(h) of the FRA and its implementing Regulation O restricts loans to directors, executive officers, and principal stockholders (“insiders”). Under Section 22(h), loans to insiders and their related interests may not exceed, together with all other outstanding loans to such persons and affiliated entities, the institution’s total capital and surplus. Loans to insiders above specified amounts must receive the prior approval of the board of directors. Further, under Section 22(h) of the FRA, loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders must be made on terms substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to other persons, except that such insiders may receive preferential loans made under a benefit or compensation program that is widely available to the bank’s employees and does not give preference to the insider over the employees. Section 22(g) of the FRA places additional limitations on loans to executive officers. Anti-Money-Laundering The Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”), as amended by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USAPATRIOTAct”), imposes obligations on U.S. financial institutions, including banks and broker-dealer subsidiaries, to implement policies, procedures and controls which are reasonably designed to detect and report instances of money laundering and the financing of terrorism.   The USA PATRIOT Act requires all financial institutions, including the Company and the Bank, to identify their customers, adopt formal and comprehensive anti-money laundering programs, scrutinize or prohibit altogether certain transactions of special concern, and be prepared to respond to inquiries from U.S. law enforcement agencies concerning their customers and their transactions. The USA PATRIOT Act also encourages information-sharing among financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement authorities by providing an exemption from the privacy provisions of the GLB Act for financial institutions that comply with this provision. The effectiveness of a financial institution in combating money laundering activities is a factor to be considered in any application submitted by the financial institution under the Bank Merger Act, which applies to the Bank, or the BHC Act, which applies to the Company. Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, or to comply with all of the relevant laws or regulations, could have serious legal, financial and reputational consequences.   As of December 31, 2018, the Company and the Bank believe that they are in compliance with the BSA and the USA PATRIOT Act, and implementing regulations thereof. Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulation The United States has imposed economic sanctions that affect transactions with designated foreign countries, nationals and others. These are typically known as the “OFAC” rules based on their administration by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). The OFAC-administered sanctions targeting countries take many different forms. Generally, they contain one or more of the following elements: i) restrictions on trade with or investment in a sanctioned country, including prohibitions against direct or indirect imports from and exports to a sanctioned country and prohibitions on “U.S. persons” engaging in financial transactions relating to making investments in, or providing investment-related advice or assistance to, a sanctioned country; and ii) a blocking of assets in which the government or specially designated nationals of the sanctioned country have an interest, by prohibiting transfers of property subject to U.S. jurisdiction (including property in the possession or control of U.S. persons). Blocked assets (property and bank deposits) cannot be paid out, withdrawn, set off or transferred in any manner without a license from OFAC. Failure to comply with these sanctions could have serious legal and reputational consequences. Consumer Protection and CFPB Supervision The Dodd-Frank Act centralized responsibility for federal consumer financial protection in the CFPB, which is an independent agency charged with responsibility for implementing, enforcing, and examining compliance with federal consumer  The Company and the Bank are subject to a number of federal and state laws designed financial protection laws and regulations.  to protect borrowers and promote lending to various sectors of the economy. Among others, these laws include the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, various state law counterparts, and the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010, which is part of the Dodd-Frank Act and established the CFPB. The Dodd-Frank Act does not prevent states from adopting stricter consumer protection standards. State regulation of financial products and potential enforcement actions could also adversely affect the Company`s business, financial condition or operations. Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 The Bank has a responsibility under the CRA to help meet the credit needs of its communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.   The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community consistent with the CRA.  addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit discrimination in lending practices on the basis of 7  Regulators periodically assess the Bank’s record of compliance with the CRA.   In         characteristics specified in those statutes. The Bank’s failure to comply with the CRA could, at a minimum, result in regulatory restrictions on its activities and the activities of the Company.   The Bank`s failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions. The Bank received a “Satisfactory” CRA rating in its most recent examination. Financial Privacy and Data Security The Company is subject to federal laws, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLBA”), and certain state laws containing consumer privacy protection provisions. These provisions limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to affiliated and non-affiliated third parties and limit the reuse of certain consumer information received from non-affiliated institutions. These provision require notice of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to affiliates or non-affiliated third parties by means of “opt out” or “opt in” authorizations. The GLBA requires that financial institutions implement comprehensive written information security programs that include administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect consumer information. Further, pursuant to interpretive guidance issued under the GLBA and certain state laws, financial institutions are required to notify customers of security breaches that result in unauthorized access to their nonpublic personal information. The federal banking agencies, including the FRB, through the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) have adopted guidelines to encourage financial institutions to address cybersecurity risks and identify, assess, and mitigate these risks, both internally and at critical third party services providers. FFIEC has provided a Cybersecurity Assessment Toll for institutions to identity and address cybersecurity risks in their systems. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (“FACT Act”), Red Flags Rule requires financial institutions with covered accounts (e.g., consumer bank accounts and loans) to develop, implement, and administer an identity theft prevention program. This program must include reasonable policies and procedures to detect suspicious patterns or practices that indicate the possibility of identity theft, such as inconsistencies in personal information or changes in account activity. Employee Compensation The Dodd-Frank Act requires publicly traded companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation at their first annual meeting taking place six months after the date of enactment and at least every three years thereafter and on so-called “golden parachute” payments in connection with approvals of mergers and acquisitions. The Dodd-Frank Act also requires the federal banking agencies and the SEC to establish joint regulations or guidelines prohibiting incentive-based payment arrangements at specified regulated entities with at least $1 billion in total consolidated assets that encourage inappropriate risks by providing an executive officer, employee, director or principal shareholder with excessive compensation, fees, or benefits that could lead to material financial loss to the entity. The federal banking agencies and the SEC most recently proposed such regulations in 2016, but the regulations have not yet been finalized. If the regulations are adopted in the form initially proposed, they will restrict the manner in which executive compensation is structured. Future Legislative Initiatives From time to time, federal and state legislatures may introduce legislation that will impact the financial services industry. In addition, the federal banking agencies may introduce regulatory initiatives that are likely to impact the financial services industry. However, it is not clear whether such changes will be enacted or, if enacted, what effect such changes would have on the Company. New legislative and regulatory initiatives are introduced by Congress, state legislatures, and financial regulatory agencies.   Such initiatives may include proposals to expand or contract the powers of bank holding companies and/or depository institutions or  Such legislation could change banking statutes and proposals to substantially change the financial institution regulatory system.  the operating environment of the Company in substantial and unpredictable ways.   If enacted, such legislation could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities, or affect the competitive balance among banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other financial institutions. The Company cannot predict whether any such legislation will be enacted, and, if enacted, the effect that it or any implementing regulations would have on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.   A change in statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries could have a material effect on the business of the Company.  8         Available Information We file annual reports, quarterly reports, proxy statements and other documents with the SEC under the Securities  The SEC maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information  The public can obtain any documents Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.  that we file with the SEC at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS If the bank regulators impose limitations on our commercial real estate lending activities, our earnings could be adversely affected. In 2006, the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (collectively, the “Agencies”) issued joint guidance entitled “Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending, Sound Risk Management Practices” (the “CRE Guidance”). Although the CRE Guidance did not establish specific lending limits, it provides that a bank’s commercial real estate lending exposure may receive increased supervisory scrutiny where total non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, including loans secured by apartment buildings, investor commercial real estate and construction and land loans, represent 300% or more of an institution’s total risk-based capital and the outstanding balance of the commercial real estate loan portfolio has increased by 50% or more during the preceding 36 months. Our level of non-owner occupied commercial real estate equaled 398% of Bank total risk-based capital at December 31, 2018. In December 2015, the Agencies released a new statement on prudent risk management for commercial real estate lending (the “2015 Statement”). In the 2015 Statement, the Agencies express concerns about easing commercial real estate underwriting standards, direct financial institutions to maintain underwriting discipline and exercise risk management practices to identify, measure and monitor lending risks, and indicate that the Agencies will continue “to pay special attention” to commercial real estate lending activities and concentrations going forward. If the FDIC, the Bank's primary federal regulator were to impose restrictions on the amount of commercial real estate loans we can hold in our portfolio, or require higher capital ratios as a result of the level of commercial real estate loans we hold, our earnings would be adversely affected. Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses. Like all financial institutions, we maintain an allowance for loan losses to provide for loan defaults and nonperformance.  Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses, and future provisions for loan losses could materially and adversely affect the results of our operations.  In addition to periodic reviews by an independent loan review function, risks within the loan portfolio are analyzed on a continuous basis by management and by the Board of Directors. A risk system, consisting of multiple-grading categories, is utilized as an analytical tool to assess risk and the appropriate level of loss reserves.  Along with the risk system, management further evaluates risk characteristics of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions and considers such factors as the financial condition of the borrowers, past and expected loan loss experience and other  This risk assessment process is performed at factors management feels deserve recognition in establishing an adequate reserve.  least quarterly and any necessary adjustments are realized in the periods in which they become known.   The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates that may be beyond our control, and these losses may exceed current estimates.  State and federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, review our loans and allowance for loan losses and have in the past required an increase in our allowance for loan losses.   Although we believe that our allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable and reasonably estimated losses, we cannot assure you that we will not further increase the allowance for loan losses or that our regulators will not require us to increase this allowance.   Either of these occurrences could adversely affect our earnings. If our non-performing assets increase, our earnings will be negatively impacted. At December 31, 2018, our non-performing assets (“NPAs”) (which consist of non-accrual loans, loans 90 days or more delinquent, performing troubled debt restructurings and foreclosed real estate assets) totaled $25.8 million, which was an increase of $16.5 million or 179.2% from December 31, 2017.  However, we can give no assurance that our NPAs will decrease and we 9            We do not may experience further increases in NPAs in the future.  Our NPAs adversely affect our net income in various ways.  record interest income on non-accrual loans or real estate owned.   We must reserve for estimated credit losses, which are established through a current period charge to the provision for loan losses, and from time to time, if appropriate, we must write down the  Additionally, there are legal fees value of properties in the other real estate owned portfolio to reflect changing market values.  associated with the resolution of problem assets as well as carrying costs, including taxes, insurance and maintenance related to our other real estate owned.   Further, the resolution of NPAs requires the active involvement of management, potentially distracting them from the overall supervision of our operations and other income-producing activities.

Our profitability, like that of most financial institutions, depends substantially on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on our interest-bearing liabilities.  Increases in interest rates may decrease loan demand and make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable rate loans.  In addition, as market interest rates rise, we will have competitive pressures to increase the rates we pay on deposits, which will result in a decrease of our net interest income.

As of December 31, 2018, our consolidated balance sheet included goodwill of $27.3 million and other intangible assets of $2.1 million. Our business acquisitions typically result in goodwill and other intangible assets, which affect the amount of future period amortization expense and possible impairment expense. We make estimates and assumptions in valuing such intangible assets that affect our consolidated financial statements. In accordance with GAAP, our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. Impairment testing incorporates the current market price of our common stock, the estimated fair value of our assets and liabilities, and certain information of similar companies. Impairment testing may be based on valuation models that estimate fair value. In preparing the valuation models, we consider a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic conditions, future cash flows, and transactions and market data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and our judgment in applying them to the impairment analyses. It is possible that future impairment testing could result in a decline in fair value of our goodwill or other intangible assets, which may be less than the carrying value, and, as a result may adversely affect our financial condition. If we determine that impairment exists at a given point in time, our earnings and the book value of goodwill or other related intangible asset will be reduced by the amount of the impairment. If we record an impairment loss related to our goodwill or other intangible assets, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial 10         condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the results of impairment testing on our goodwill or other intangible assets have no impact on our tangible book value or regulatory capital levels. We operate in a highly-regulated environment and are subject to extensive government supervision and regulation that affects our operations and may adversely impact our business. We are subject to extensive federal and state supervision and regulation that govern nearly all aspects of our operations and can have a material impact on our business.  Financial regulatory authorities have significant discretion regarding the supervision, regulation and enforcement of banking laws and regulations.  Banking and insurance laws, regulations and policies are subject to amendment by Congress, the State of New Jersey and federal and state financial regulatory agencies.   Changes to statutes, regulations or policies, including changes in the administrative interpretation of regulations or policies, could materially impact our business.  These changes could impose additional costs on us and limit the types of financial products and services that we may offer our customers.  Compliance with laws and regulations can be difficult and costly, and changes to laws and regulations often impose significant compliance costs.  Failure to comply with any laws, regulations or policies could result in sanctions by financial regulatory agencies, including civil money penalties, private lawsuits or reputational damage, any of which could adversely affect our business or results of operations. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent such violations, there can be no assurance that violations will not occur.   See “Supervision and Regulation” in ITEM 1. Business.

The Department, as the supervisory and regulatory authority for state-chartered banks, has similar enforcement powers with respect to our banking business and insurance agency.   The CFPB has the authority to take enforcement actions, including cease-and-desist orders or civil monetary penalties against us if it finds that we offer consumer financial products and services in violation of federal consumer financial protection laws. If we were unable to comply with future regulatory directives, or if we were unable to comply with the terms of any future supervisory requirements to which we may become subject, then we could become subject to a variety of supervisory actions and orders, including cease and desist orders, prompt corrective actions, MOUs, and/or other regulatory enforcement actions.  our financial regulators were to take such supervisory actions, then we could, among other things, become subject to greater restrictions on our ability to develop any new business, as well as restrictions on our existing business, and we could be required to raise additional capital, dispose of certain assets and liabilities within a prescribed period of time, or both.  remedial measures as required by financial regulatory agencies could result in additional orders or penalties from federal and state regulators, which could result in one or more of the remedial actions described above.   The terms of any supervisory action and associated consequences with any failure to comply with any supervisory action could have a material negative effect on our business, operating flexibility and overall financial condition.  Failure to implement  If 11           There is a risk that we may not be repaid in a timely manner, or at all, for loans we make.

In 2017, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), announced that the FCA intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit the rates required to calculate LIBOR after 2021. This announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021. Consequently, at this time, it is not possible to predict whether and to what extent banks will continue to provide submissions for the calculation of LIBOR. Similarly, it is not possible to predict whether LIBOR will continue to be viewed as an acceptable market benchmark, what rate or rates may become accepted alternatives to LIBOR or what the effect of any such changes in views or alternatives may be on the markets for LIBOR-indexed financial instruments. We have a significant number of loans, derivative contracts, borrowings and other financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR. The transition from LIBOR, or any changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR, could have an adverse impact on the market for or value of any LIBOR-linked securities, loans, and other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by or due to us, could create considerable costs and additional risk and could have an adverse impact on or overall financial condition or results of operations. Since proposed alternative rates are calculated differently, payments under contracts referencing new rates will differ from those referencing LIBOR. The transition will change our market risk profiles, requiring changes to risk and pricing models, valuation tools, product design and hedging strategies. Furthermore, failure to adequately manage this transition process with our customers could adversely impact our reputation. Although we are currently unable to assess what the ultimate impact of the transition from LIBOR will be, failure to adequately manage the transition could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are in competition with many other financial service providers, including larger commercial banks which have greater resources than us. The banking industry within our trade area is highly competitive.   Our principal market area is also served by branch offices of large commercial banks and thrift institutions.   In addition, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act of 1999 permits other financial entities, such as insurance companies and securities firms, to acquire or form financial institutions,  A number of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do to expend thereby further increasing competition.   Our success upon advertising and marketing, and their substantially greater capitalization enables them to make much larger loans.  depends upon our ability to serve small business clients in a more responsive manner than the large and mid-size financial institutions against whom we compete in our principal market area. In addition to competition from larger institutions, we also face competition for individuals and small businesses from recently formed banks seeking to compete as “home town” institutions.  new institutions have focused their marketing efforts on the smaller end of the small business market we serve.  Most of these We depend on our executive officers and key personnel to continue the implementation of our long-term business strategy and could be harmed by the loss of their services. We believe that our continued growth and future success will depend in large part upon the skills of our management team.  The competition for qualified personnel in the financial services industry is intense, and the loss of our key personnel or an inability to continue to attract, retain and motivate key personnel could adversely affect our business.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our existing key personnel or attract additional qualified personnel.   We have employment agreements and/or change in control agreements with our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Banking Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Senior Executive Vice President of Regional Banking, Market Executive and Chief Executive Officer of SB One Insurance, and the loss of the services of one or more of our executive officers and key personnel could impair our ability to continue to develop our business strategy.  12                   Changes in local economic conditions could adversely affect our loan portfolio. Our success depends to a great extent upon the general economic conditions of the local markets that we serve.   Unlike larger banks that are more geographically diversified, we provide banking and financial services primarily to customers in the New Jersey and New York markets in which we have branches, so any decline in the economy of this specific region could have an adverse impact on us. The ability of our borrowers to repay their loans, our financial results, the credit quality of our existing loan portfolio, and the ability to generate new loans with acceptable yield and credit characteristics may be adversely affected by changes in prevailing economic conditions, including declines in real estate values, changes in interest rates, adverse employment conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government.  not have a significant adverse effect on us.  We cannot assure you that negative trends or developments would We cannot predict how changes in technology will impact our business. The financial services market, including banking services, is increasingly affected by advances in technology, including developments in telecommunications, data processing, automation, internet-based banking, telephone banking, and debit cards and so-called “smart cards.” Our ability to compete successfully in the future will depend on whether we can anticipate and respond to technological changes.  To develop these and other new technologies, we will likely have to make additional capital investments.  continually invest in new technology, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient resources or access to the necessary proprietary technology to remain competitive in the future.  Although we The risks presented by acquisitions could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. From time to time we may pursue growth through strategic acquisitions of assets or companies. Acquisitions are subject to many risks, including potential loss of significant customers or key personnel of the acquired business as a result of the change in ownership, difficulty integrating the operations of the acquired business or achieving targeted efficiencies, the incurrence of substantial costs and expenses related to the acquisition effort, and diversion of management's attention from other aspects of our business operations. For example, we may face integration challenges as we continue to fully integrate the operations of Community and Enterprise, both of which were acquired in 2018. Acquisitions may also cause us to incur debt or result in dilutive issuances of our equity securities. Our acquisitions may cause large one-time expenses or create goodwill or other intangible assets that could result in significant impairment charges in the future. We also make various estimates and assumptions in order to determine purchase price allocation and estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If our estimates or assumptions used to value these assets and liabilities vary from actual or future projected results, we may be exposed to losses, including impairment losses, which could be material. We do not provide any assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate the operations of any acquired businesses into our operations or achieve the expected benefits of any acquisitions. The failure to successfully integrate newly acquired businesses or achieve the expected benefits of strategic acquisitions in the future could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We may not complete a potential acquisition for a variety of reasons, but we may nonetheless incur material costs in the preliminary stages of evaluating and pursuing such an acquisition that we cannot recover. We face cybersecurity risks and risks associated with security breaches which have the potential to disrupt our operations, cause material harm to our financial condition, result in misappropriation of assets, compromise confidential information and/or damage our business relationships and can provide no assurance that the steps we and our service providers take in response to these risks will be effective.  We face cybersecurity risks and risks associated with security breaches or disruptions such as those through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusions over the Internet, malware, computer viruses, attachments to emails, social engineering and phishing schemes or persons inside our organization. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusions, including by computer hackers, nation-state affiliated actors, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. These incidents may result in disruption of our operations, material harm to our financial condition, cash flows and the market price of our common stock, misappropriation of assets, compromise or corruption of confidential information collected in the course of conducting our business, liability for stolen information or assets, increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs, regulatory enforcement, litigation 13           and damage to our stakeholder relationships. These risks require continuous and likely increasing attention and other resources from us to, among other actions, identify and quantify these risks, upgrade and expand our technologies, systems and processed to adequately address them and provide periodic training for our employees to assist them in detecting phishing, malware and other schemes. Such attention diverts time and other resources from other activities and there is no assurance that our efforts will be effective. In the normal course of business, we collect and retain certain personal information provided by our customers, employees and vendors. We also rely extensively on computer systems to process transactions and manage our business. We can provide no assurance that the data security measures designed to protect confidential information on our systems established by us will be able to prevent unauthorized access to this personal information. There can be no assurance that our efforts to maintain the security and integrity of the information we and our service providers collect and our and their computer systems will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed not be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and thus it is impossible for us to entirely mitigate this risk.

For 2018, our net income increased to $9.9 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, or a 74.4% increase, as compared to net income of $5.7 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, for the same period last year. For 2018 our adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measurement) was $14.7 million, or $1.86 per diluted share. The increase in net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 was largely due to increases in net interest income of $15.0 million and non-interest income of $2.5 million and a decrease in income tax expense of $1.4 million, which were partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses of $14.8 million. The increase in non-interest expenses was largely due to a $5.9 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and merger-related expenses of $4.6 million. Excluding tax effected merger-related expenses and non-recurring expenses of $4.5 million and $271 thousand, respectively, net income increased $7.0 million, or 91.1%, to $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The following table contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (GAAP). This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of our performance because it believes these measures are material and will be used as a measure of our performance by investors. 19             SB ONE BANCORP Non-GAAP Reporting (Dollars In Thousands) Net income (GAAP) Merger related expenses net of tax (1) Non-recurring expenses inclusive of rebrand net of tax (3) S-3 registration filing expenses net of tax (1) Tax Cut and Jobs Act adjusted (2) Net income, as adjusted Average diluted shares outstanding (GAAP) Diluted EPS, as adjusted (4) Average Assets Return on average assets, as adjusted (5) Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 $ $ $ 9,923 $ 4,521 271 — — 14,715 $ 7,921,269 1.86 $ 1,426,455 1.03% 5,691 1,024 — 45 942 7,699 5,404,381 1.42 914,747 0.84% (1) Merger related expenses net of tax expenses $1.3 million YTD 2018 and $137 thousand YTD 2017; S-3 registration filing net of tax expenses of $30 thousand in 2017.

Total loans receivable, net of unearned income, increased $654.1 million, or 79.7%, to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2018,  Our total deposits increased $591.4 million, or 77.8%, to $1.4 billion at December 31, from $820.7 million at year-end 2017.  2018, from $762.5 million at December 31, 2017.  The increase in deposits was primarily due to an increase in interest bearing deposits of $477.8 million, or 77.5%, at December 31, 2018, as compared to December 31, 2017. The growth in both loans and deposits was primarily the result of the mergers with Community and Enterprise augmented by organic growth. At December 31, 2018, our total stockholders’ equity was $185.4 million, an increase of $91.2 million when compared  The increase was largely due to the mergers with Community and Enterprise and the increase in net income to December 31, 2017.  for the year ended December 31, 2018.   At December 31, 2018, the leverage, Tier I risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and common equity Tier I capital ratios for the Bank were 12.06%, 12.34%, 12.94% and 12.34%, respectively, all in excess of the ratios required to be deemed “well-capitalized.” Management Strategy Our goal is to serve as a community-oriented financial institution serving northern New Jersey and the New York marketplace.  While offering traditional community bank loan and deposit products and services, we obtain significant non-interest income through SB One Insurance’s insurance brokerage operations.   We report the operations of SB One Insurance as a separate segment from our commercial banking operations. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report for additional information regarding our two segments. 20         Critical Accounting Policies Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition  Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make and Results of Operations.  included elsewhere in this report.  estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and  Since future events and their effect cannot be determined with absolute certainty, actual results may differ accompanying notes.  from those estimates.  Management makes adjustments to its assumptions and judgments when facts and circumstances dictate.  The amounts currently estimated by us are subject to change if different assumptions as to the outcome of future events  We evaluate our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are are subsequently made.   Management believes the following critical accounting policies encompass believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

We have a detailed policy covering the real estate appraisal process, including the selection of qualified appraisers, review of appraisal reports upon receipt, and complying with the federal regulatory standards that govern the minimum requirements for obtaining appraisals or evaluations to support the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Appraisals and evaluations are considered to be current when the valuation date is within 12 months of a new loan or 24 months of any renewal of an existing loan, provided that certain conditions are met.  The appraisal is not considered to be current if there has been a substantial change in value, demand, supply or competitive factors. The following types of transactions require a real estate appraisal: • Non-residential transactions when the transaction value exceeds $250,000. • Loan transactions in which real estate is used as the primary security for the loan, regardless of the type of loan (commercial, installment or mortgage), including: New loans, loan modifications, loan extensions and renewals, provided that certain conditions are met. The purchase, sale, exchange or investment in real property or an interest in real property where the “transaction value” of the real property interest exceeds $250,000. The long-term lease of real estate, which is the economic equivalent of a purchase or sale where the “transaction value” of the real property interest exceeds $250,000. Purchase of a loan or pool of loans, or participation therein, or of an interest in real property, providing that any individual loan or property interest exceeds $250,000, and further provided that a satisfactory appraisal of the property relating to that loan or interest has not been made available to the Bank by another party to the transaction. 21             The need for real estate appraisals applies to initial loan underwriting and subsequently when the value of the real estate collateral might be materially affected by changing market conditions, changes in the occupancy of the property, changes in cash flow generated by the property, changes in the physical conditions of the property, or other factors.  These factors include changes in the sales prices of comparable properties, absorption rates, capitalization rates, effective rental rates and current construction costs. Real estate appraisals are not required for the following transactions:  • New loans, loan modifications, loan extensions and renewals with real property interest value of $250,000 or less. • Purchase, sale, exchange, long-term lease or investment in real property where the “transaction value” of the real property interest does not exceed $250,000. • Renewal or extension of an existing loan in excess of $250,000 provided that certain conditions are met. • Purchase of a loan or pool of loans, or participation therein, or of an interest in real property where a satisfactory appraisal of the property relating to that loan or interest has been made available to the Bank by another federally insured depository institution that is subject to Title XI of Financial Institutions Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. While real estate appraisals are not required for transactions of $250,000 or less, we will consider obtaining an appraisal if the orderly liquidation of the collateral is the primary source of repayment.  To the extent that an appraisal is not required for a real estate collateralized transaction, we will obtain for its credit files another acceptable form of valuation (i.e. equalized value with a reasonable market relevance or evaluation). Additionally, real estate appraisals are not required on transactions over $250,000 when taking a lien on real property as collateral solely through an “abundance of caution,” and where the terms of the transaction have not been made more favorable than would have been in the absence of the mortgage lien.  In determining whether an appraisal can be waived due to this reason, approval must be obtained from our Chief Credit Officer. Generally, we obtain updated appraisals for real estate loan renewals and modifications or certain classified loans depending on the age of the last appraisal, volatility of the local market, and other factors. In certain circumstances, if we can support an appraisal that is greater than one year old with an evaluation, utilizing current information, including, but not limited to, current comparable sales, independent appraisal, consultant data or tax assessment values, then we may continue to use the existing appraisal. For classified/criticized loans, when it is determined that a deficiency exists utilizing the above evaluation methods, a new appraisal will be ordered.  Foreclosed real estate is primarily comprised of property acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at fair value, less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis.  are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in expenses related to foreclosed real estate.  Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets Derivatives. The Company utilizes derivative instruments in the form of interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in its cash flows due to interest rate risk. The variability in cash flows is managed as part of the Company’s asset/liability management process.  In accordance with accounting requirements, the Company formally designates all of its hedging relationships as cash flow hedges, intended to offset changes in the cash flows of certain financial instruments due to movement in interest rates, and documents the strategy for undertaking the hedge transactions and its method of assessing ongoing effectiveness. All derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Financial Statements at their fair values.  the cash flow hedge become ineffective, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value (i.e. gain or loss) is reported in current period earnings.  income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.   The effective portion of the change in fair value is initially recorded as a component of other comprehensive  Should Derivative effectiveness and ineffectiveness will be assessed and measured at the date of designation (inception), each reporting date, and whenever a designated hedge period is terminated to ensure that ongoing high effectiveness is expected by regression analysis of the periodic change in fair value of the hedging instrument and the periodic change in fair value of the hypothetical derivative. 22               The Company’s interest rate derivatives are comprised entirely of interest rate swaps hedging floating-rate and forecasted issuances of fixed-rate liabilities and accounted for as cash flow hedges.  balance of other assets or other liabilities. Changes in fair value are offset against accumulated other comprehensive income, net of deferred income tax.  The carrying value of interest rate derivatives is included in the Income Taxes.  Management considers accounting for income taxes as a critical accounting policy due to the subjective nature of certain estimates that are involved in the calculation and evaluation of the timing and recognition of resulting tax assets  Management uses the asset liability method of accounting for income taxes in which deferred tax assets and and liabilities.  liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax expense is the result of changes between deferred tax assets and liabilities.  The principal types of differences between assets and liabilities for financial statement and tax return purposes are allowance for loan losses, deferred compensation, securities available for sale and interest rate swaps. Significant estimation is required to determine if a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is required. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become available.   Because the judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond the Company’s control, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s judgment about the need for a valuation allowance for deferred taxes could change in the near term. Goodwill. We have recorded goodwill of $27.3 million at December 31, 2018, primarily related to the acquisitions of Community and Enterprise of $22.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Our recorded goodwill total includes $2.8 million related to the acquisition of SB One Insurance in October of 2001. Our recorded goodwill total also includes $486 thousand related to the 2006 acquisition of $6.3 million in deposits in our Port Jervis branch.   During the quarter ended March 31, 2016 we announced the closing of the Port Jervis branch and the deposits from that branch were transferred to our Montague, New Jersey branch. As  FASB ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Others, of December 31, 2018 deposits originated in that branch were $7.6 million.   We periodically assess requires that goodwill is not amortized to expense, but rather be tested for impairment at least annually.  whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of goodwill require additional impairment testing.  We perform our annual impairment test on the goodwill of SB One Insurance in the fourth quarter of each calendar year.  the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the book value, no write-downs of goodwill are necessary.  the book value, an additional test is necessary to assess the proper carrying value of goodwill.  write-offs were necessary during 2018 and 2017.  If  If the fair value is less than  We determined that no impairment Reporting unit valuation is inherently subjective, with a number of factors based on assumptions and management judgments.  Among these are future growth rates, discount rates and earnings capitalization rates.  results due to economic conditions, industry factors and reporting unit performance could result in different assessments of the fair value and could result in impairment charges in the future.  Changes in assumptions and Investment Securities Impairment Evaluation. The Company periodically evaluates the security portfolio to determine if a decline in the fair value of any security below its cost basis is other-than-temporary.  temporary impairment considers the duration and severity of the impairment, the company’s intent and ability to hold the securities and our assessments of the reason for the decline in value and the likelihood of a near-term recovery.   If a determination is made that a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired, the Company will estimate the amount of the unrealized loss that is  The credit related component will be recognized as an other-than- attributable to credit and all other non-credit related factors.  temporary impairment charge in non-interest income.   The non-credit related component will be recorded as an adjustment to AOCI, net of tax.

We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets to determine fair value disclosures. Investment, mortgage-backed securities available for sale, and interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, real estate owned and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”), establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 includes debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently then exchange-traded instruments. Valuation techniques include matrix pricing which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity). Under ASC Topic 820, we base our fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is our policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy in FASB ASC Topic 820.  Fair value measurements for assets where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore, are based primarily upon our or other third-party’s estimates, are often calculated based on the characteristics of the asset, the economic and competitive environment and other such factors. Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of our financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique.  Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could have realized in sales transaction on the dates indicated.   The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period end and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements  As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective subsequent to those respective dates.  reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period-end. Additionally, changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future valuations. COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT YEAR-END DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 General. At December 31, 2018, we had total assets of $1.8 billion compared to total assets of $979.4 million at December 31, 2017, an increase of $816.3 million, or 83.4%. Gross loans increased $654.1 million, or 79.7%, to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2018, from $820.7 million at December 31, 2017.  $762.5 million at December 31, 2017.  Total deposits increased 77.6% to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2018, from Cash and Cash Equivalents.

The ratio of NPAs to total assets for December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were 1.4% and 0.9%, respectively. The increase was largely attributable to two commercial real estate loans totaling $8.9 million and consumer loans totaling $3.1 million. Additionally, the increase was attributable to $2.5 million in acquired loans not classified as PCI as the Company does not expect losses from these loans.  Total NPAs increased by $16.0 million, or 173.4%, to Our non-accrual loan balance increased $14.1 million, or 235.0%, to $20.2 million at December 31, 2018, from $6.0  Troubled debt restructured loans still accruing decreased $27 thousand, or 2.9%, to $905 thousand  Foreclosed assets increased $1.9 million to $4.1 million at million at December 31, 2017.  at December 31, 2018, from $932 thousand at December 31, 2017.  December 31, 2018, from $2.3 million at December 31, 2017.  Management continues to monitor our asset quality and believes that the non-accrual loans are adequately collateralized and anticipated material losses have been adequately reserved for in the allowance for loan losses. 27             The following table provides information regarding risk elements in the loan and securities portfolio as of December 31, 2014 through 2018.

Potential problem loans are defined as loans which cause management to have serious concerns as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may cause the loan to be placed on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2018,  we had one loan totaling $392 thousand that we deemed a potential problem loan. Management is actively monitoring this loan. Future increases in the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on the growth of the loan portfolio, the change in composition of the loan portfolio, possible future increases in non-performing loans and charge-offs, and the impact of deterioration of the real estate and economic environments in our lending region. Although we use the best information available, the level of allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. For additional information, see Critical Accounting Policies above and as more fully described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses consists of general, specific and unallocated components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.   Other adjustments may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment  For those loans that are classified The allowance contains reserves identified as unallocated. These reserves reflect management's attempt to ensure that the overall allowance reflects a margin for imprecision and the uncertainty that is inherent in estimates of probable credit losses. Management regularly assesses the appropriateness and adequacy of the loan loss reserve in relation to credit exposure associated with individual borrowers, overall trends in the loan portfolio and other relevant factors, and believes the reserve is reasonable and adequate for each of the periods presented. At December 31, 2018, the allowance for loan losses was $8.8 million,  an increase of $1.4 million, or 19.6%, from $7.3 million at December 31, 2017.   The provision for loan losses was  $1.4 million and there were $128 thousand in charge-offs and  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.60% at December $131 thousand in recoveries during 2018.  31, 2018 compared to 0.89% at December 31, 2017. The decline in allowance coverage was primarily driven by the addition of loans acquired in the Community and Enterprise mergers with no allowance for loan losses; such loans were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. 28                             The table below presents information regarding our provision and allowance for loan losses for each of the periods presented.

Total deposits increased $591.4 million, or 77.6%, to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2018, from $762.5 million  The increase in deposits were primarily driven by the mergers with Community and Enterprise, where at at December 31, 2017.  each acquisition date, the Company acquired $301.2 million resulting from the merger with Community and $197.3 million resulting from the merger with Enterprise. The increase in deposits was due to increases in interest bearing demand deposits of $477.8 million, or 77.5%, mainly attributable to a $53.1 million increase in brokered money market deposits, an increase in time deposits of $190.1 million, or 95.6%, and an increase in non-interest bearing transaction deposits of $113.6 million, or 77.8%, at December 31, 2018, as compared to December 31, 2017.  Our funding mix continued to improve as non-interest deposits increased.

The subordinated notes have a maturity date of December 22, 2026 and bear interest at the rate of 5.75% per annum, payable quarterly, for the first five years of the term, and then at a variable rate that will reset quarterly to a level equal to the then current 3-month LIBOR plus 350 basis points over the remainder of the term. Equity.  Stockholders’ equity inclusive of AOCI, net of income taxes, was $185.4 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of $91.2 million, from the $94.2 million at year-end 2017. The increase in stockholders’ equity was mostly due to shares of common stock issued in the Community and Enterprise mergers and $9.9 million in net income in 2018, which was offset by $2.3 million in dividends declared during 2018.  31                     COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR YEAR-END DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 Results of Operations. Our net income is impacted by five major components and each of them is reviewed in more detail in the following discussion: • • • • net interest income, or the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds; provision for loan losses, or the amount added to the allowance for loan losses to provide reserves for inherent losses on loans; non-interest income, which is made up primarily of certain loan and deposit fees, insurance commissions and gains and losses from sales of securities or other transactions; non-interest expense, which consists primarily of salaries, employee benefits, credit collection and write-off costs, merger-related expenses and other operating expenses; and • income taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company reported net income of $9.9 million, or $1.26 per basic and $1.25 per diluted share, a 74.4% increase, as compared to net income of $5.7 million, or $1.06 per basic share and $1.05 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company’s net income, adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses and non-recurring expenses of $4.5 million and $271 thousand, respectively, increased $7.0 million, or 91.1%, to $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. Diluted earnings per share, as adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses and non-recurring expenses, increased 30.4% to $1.86 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $1.42 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The changes were largely attributed to the growth of the Company resulting from the merger with Community, net of non-interest expense savings, double digit organic commercial loan and deposit growth, the positive impacts from the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, and a 41% increase in SB One Insurance pretax income. Net Interest Income.  Net interest income is the most significant component of our income from operations. Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on total interest-earning assets (primarily loans and investment securities), on a fully taxable equivalent basis, where appropriate, and interest paid on total interest-bearing liabilities (primarily deposits and borrowed funds). Fully taxable equivalent basis represents income on total interest-earning assets that is either tax-exempt or taxed at a reduced rate, adjusted to give effect to the prevailing incremental federal tax rate, and adjusted for nondeductible carrying costs and state income taxes, where applicable. Yield calculations, where appropriate, include these adjustments. Net interest income depends on the volume and interest rate earned on interest-earning assets and the volume and interest rate paid on interest- bearing liabilities. 32             Comparative Average Balance and Average Interest Rates. The following table presents, on a fully taxable equivalent basis (a non-GAAP measurement), a summary of our interest-earning assets and their average yields, and interest-bearing liabilities and their average costs for each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.  non-accrual loans, and associated yields include loan fees, which are considered adjustment to yields.  The average balances of loans include (Dollars in thousands) 2018 2017 2016 Year Ended December 31, Average Average Average Average Average Average Balance Interest Rate (2) Balance Interest Rate (2) Balance Interest Rate (2) Earning Assets: Securities: Tax exempt (3) Taxable Total securities $ 61,673 $ 126,104 187,777 2,632 3,507 6,139 Total loans receivable (1) (4) 1,139,199 51,359 Other interest-earning assets 10,586 99 Total earning assets (3) 1,337,562 57,597 Non-interest earning assets Allowance for loan losses Total Assets Sources of Funds: Interest bearing deposits: NOW Money market Savings Time Total interest bearing deposits Borrowed funds Subordinated debentures 97,078 (8,185) $1,426,455 $ 257,314 $ 124,973 216,275 270,807 869,369 150,294 27,853 1,527 1,952 818 3,781 8,078 3,288 1,263 Total interest bearing liabilities 1,047,516 12,629 Non-interest bearing liabilities: Demand deposits Other liabilities Total non-interest bearing liabilities Stockholders' equity 223,984 5,060 229,044 149,895 Total Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity $1,426,455 Net Interest Income and Margin (3) (5) Tax-equivalent basis adjustment (3) Net Interest Income 4.27% $ 46,449 $ 4.13% $ 32,359 $ 2.78% 3.27% 4.51% 0.94% 4.31% 64,636 111,085 756,766 8,611 1,918 1,437 3,355 32,953 35 876,462 36,343 45,398 (7,113) $ 914,747 2.22% 3.02% 4.35% 0.41% 4.15% 69,225 101,584 625,399 9,440 1,247 1,443 2,690 26,862 23 736,423 29,575 40,106 (6,059) $ 770,470 584 843 285 1,872 3,584 1,749 1,278 6,611 0.59% $ 183,457 $ 1.56% 93,505 0.38% 1.40% 0.93% 2.19% 4.53% 1.21% 137,120 171,163 585,245 78,551 27,844 691,640 139,611 4,167 143,778 79,329 313 148 286 1,702 2,449 1,922 391 4,762 0.32% $ 145,659 $ 0.90% 37,046 0.21% 1.09% 0.61% 2.23% 4.59% 0.96% 137,696 162,864 483,265 93,974 13,256 590,495 117,927 4,530 122,457 57,518 3.85% 2.08% 2.65% 4.30% 0.24% 4.02% 0.21% 0.40% 0.21% 1.05% 0.51% 2.05% 2.95% 0.81% $ 914,747 $ 770,470 44,968 3.36% 29,732 3.39% 24,813 3.37% (888) $ 44,080 (644) $ 29,088 (415) $ 24,398 Includes loan fee income (1) (2) Average rates on securities are calculated on amortized costs (3) Full taxable equivalent basis, using a 21% (2018) and 34% (2017 and 2016) effective tax rate and adjusted for TEFRA (Tax and Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act) interest expense disallowance (4) Loans outstanding include non-accrual loans (5) Represents the difference between interest earned and interest paid, divided by average total interest-earning assets Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $15.2 million, or 51.2%, to $45.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $29.7 million for the same period in 2017. The increase in net interest income was largely due to a $461.1 million, or 52.6%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable, which increased $382.4 million, or 50.5%. The aforementioned was partially offset by a decrease in the net interest margin of 3 basis points to 3.36% for the year 33                                                                                                                                                                                                                         ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease was primarily driven by the effects of higher market rates on interest bearing liabilities costs, which increased 25 basis points, and were partially offset by an increase in earning asset yields, which grew 16 basis points during the comparison period. The increase in interest earning asset yields was partially attributed to purchase accounting accretion of $1.2 million ($1.1 million from the Community merger and $78 thousand from the Enterprise merger) for fiscal year 2018 as compared to fiscal year 2017. Interest Income. Total interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased $21.3 million, or 58.5%, to $57.6 million  The increase in interest income for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $36.3 million for the same period in 2017.  was largely due to a $461.1 million, or 52.6%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable, which increased $382.4 million, or 50.5%. The increase in interest income benefited from an increase in average rate of 16 basis points to 4.31% for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. Interest income from securities, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased $2.8 million, or 83.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was due to an increase in the average balance of the securities portfolio of $76.7 million, or 69.0%, to $187.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.  The increase in the average balance of the securities portfolio was complimented by an increase in the average rate of 25 basis points to 3.27% for 2018 from 3.02% for 2017. Interest income from the loan portfolio increased by $18.4 million, or 55.9%, to $51.4 million for 2018 from $33.0 million for 2017.  The improvement was due to an increase in the average balance on loans, which increased $382.4 million, or 50.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in the average balance on loans was complimented by an increase of 16 basis points in the average rate on the loan portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased 6.0 million, or 91.0%, to $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $6.6 million for the same period in 2017.  bearing deposits of $284.1 million and average balance of borrowed funds of $71.7 million in 2018 compared to 2017.  rate increased 25 basis points for 2018 compared to 2017.  The increase was principally due to growth in the average balance of interest-  The average The following table reflects the impact on net interest income from changes in the volume of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and changes in rates earned and paid by us on such assets and liabilities.  have been included in the average loan balance.  relationship of the dollar amount change in each.   For purposes of this table, nonaccrual loans  Changes due to both volume and rate have been allocated in proportion to the (Dollars in thousands) Securities: Tax exempt (1) Taxable Total securities Total loans receivable (2) Other interest-earning assets Total net change in income on interest-earning assets Interest bearing deposits: NOW Money market Savings Time Total interest bearing deposits Borrowed funds Subordinated debentures Total net change in expense on interest-bearing liabilities Change in net interest income December 31, 2018 v. 2017 December 31, 2017 v. 2016 Increase (decrease) Due to changes in: Rate Volume Total Volume Increase (decrease) Due to changes in: Rate Total $ 648 $ 66 $ 714 $ 1,638 2,286 17,203 9 432 498 1,203 55 2,070 2,784 18,406 64 577 $ (99) 478 5,715 (2) 94 $ 93 187 376 14 671 (6) 665 6,091 12 19,498 1,756 21,254 6,191 577 6,768 299 350 220 1,294 2,163 1,571 — 3,734 $ 15,764 $ 644 759 313 615 2,331 (32) (15) 943 1,109 533 1,909 4,494 1,539 (15) 95 381 (1) 89 564 (333) 590 176 314 — 81 571 160 297 2,284 (528) $ 6,018 15,236 $ 821 5,370 $ 1,028 (451) $ 271 695 (1) 170 1,135 (173) 887 1,849 4,919 (1) Fully taxable equivalent basis, using 21% (2018) and 34% (2017 and 2016) effective tax rate and adjusted for TEFRA   (Tax and Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act) interest expense disallowance Includes loan fee income (2) 34                                             Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses decreased $149 thousand to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2017.  The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the year-ended December 31, 2018 was largely attributed to a decrease in the Company's qualitative factors due to an increase in credit quality. The provision for loan losses reflects management review, analysis and judgment of the credit quality of the loan portfolio for 2018 and the effects of current economic environment and changes in real estate collateral values from the time the loans were originated.  Our non-accrual loans increased $14.7 million, or 243.9%, to $20.7 million at December 31, 2018 from $6.0 million at December 31, 2017.  We believe these loans are adequately provided for in our loan loss allowance or are sufficiently collateralized at December 31, 2018.The increase in non-accrual loans was attributable to two commercial real estate loans totaling $8.9 million and consumer loans totaling $3.1 million. Additionally, the increase was attributable to $2.5 million in acquired loans not classified as PCI as the Company does not expect losses from these loans. The provision for loan losses reflects management’s judgment concerning the risks inherent in our existing loan portfolio and the size of the allowance necessary to absorb the risks, as well as the activity in the allowance during the periods.   Management reviews the adequacy of its allowance on an ongoing basis and will provide additional provisions, as deemed necessary. Also see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements herein for further discussion. Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income consists of all income other than interest and dividend income and is principally derived from: service charges on deposits; insurance commission income; commissions on sales of annuities and mutual funds; ATM and debit card income; BOLI income; and net gains on sale of securities and loans.   We recognize the importance of supplementing net interest income with other sources of income as we continue to explore new opportunities to generate non- interest income. Non-interest income increased $2.5 million, or 29.7%, to $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was largely due to growth of $1.3 million in insurance commissions and fees related to SB One Insurance Agency. In addition, other income, bank owned life insurance, ATM and debit card fees and service fees on deposit accounts increased $411 thousand, $239 thousand, $206 thousand, and $167 thousand, respectively, largely due to the merger with Community. Non-Interest Expense.  Total non-interest expense increased $14.8 million to $40.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. Non-interest expenses adjusted to exclude merger related expenses and other non-recurring expenses of $5.8 million and $376 thousand, respectively, in 2018, and $1.2 million and $75 thousand, respectively, in 2017, increased $9.9 million to $34.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. Total merger-related expenses increased $4.6 million to $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. Merger related expenses consist mainly of payouts for pre-existing employee contracts of the non-surviving institution, investment banking fees, additional professional fees for filings, early vendor contract terminations, and payments to employees who serve on a transitional basis. The increase in non-interest expenses occurred largely in salaries and employee benefits of $5.9 million, data processing of $1.2 million, occupancy of $896 thousand, other expenses of $485 thousand, advertising and promotion of $279 thousand, furniture and equipment of $256 thousand and amortization of intangible assets of $247 thousand. The growth in operating expenses was largely due to the merger with Community, net of expense savings from reduction in staff, termination of large contracts and combination of key contracts, offset by an increase in expenses to support the Company’s growth. Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased $1.4 million, or 31.7%, to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2018 was 23.6%, as compared to 44.0% for the year ended December 31, 2017, due to the reduction in the statutory federal tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018, partially offset by the newly enacted New Jersey tax legislation in 2018. The Company’s re-measurement of its net deferred tax asset resulted in additional income tax expense of $942 thousand in year ended December 31, 2017. See Notes 1 and 19 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion on income taxes.

Liquidity management is critical to our stability. Our liquidity position over any given period of time is a product of our operating, financing and investing activities. The extent of such activities is often shaped by such external factors as competition for deposits and loan demand. Traditionally, financing for our loans and investments is derived primarily from deposits, along with interest and principal payments  At December 31, 2018, total deposits amounted to $1.4 billion, an increase of $591.4 million, or 77.5%, on loans and investments.  from December 31, 2017.   At December 31, 2018, borrowings from the FHLBNY and subordinated debentures totaled $247.8 million and represented 13.8% of total assets as compared to $118.2 million and 12.1% of total assets, at December 31, 2017.  Loan production continued to be our principal investing activity.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market Risk Market risk is generally described as the sensitivity of income to adverse changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and other relevant market rates or prices.  such as investments, loans, mortgage-backed securities, deposits, borrowings and other debt obligations; derivative financial 36  Market rate sensitive instruments include: financial instruments                           instruments, such as futures, forwards, swaps and options; and derivative commodity instruments, such as commodity futures, forwards, swaps and options that are permitted to be settled in cash or another financial instrument. We do not have any material exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.  market rate sensitive instruments for trading purposes nor did we engage in any trading or hedging transactions utilizing derivative financial instruments during 2018. Our real estate loan portfolio, concentrated largely in northern New Jersey, is subject to risks associated with the local and regional economies.   Our primary source of market risk exposure arises from changes in market interest rates (“interest rate risk”).  We did not enter into any Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is generally described as the exposure to potentially adverse changes in current and future net interest income resulting from: fluctuations in interest rates, product spreads, and imbalances in the repricing opportunities of interest-rate-sensitive  Therefore, managing our interest rate sensitivity is a primary objective of our senior management. Our Asset/ assets and liabilities.  Liability Committee (“ALCO”) is responsible for managing the exposure to changes in market interest rates.   We review a variety of strategies that project changes in asset or liability mix and the impact of those changes on projected net interest income and net income. Current and future sensitivity to changes in interest rates are measured through the use of balance sheet and income simulation models. The analyses capture changes in net interest income using flat rates as a base, a most likely rate forecast and rising and declining interest rate forecasts. Changes in net interest income and net income for the forecast period, generally twelve to twenty- four months, are measured and compared to policy limits for acceptable change. There are a variety of reasons that may cause actual results to vary considerably from the predictions presented below which include, but are not limited to, the timing, magnitude, and frequency of changes in interest rates, interest rate spreads, prepayments, and actions taken in response to such changes. Specific assumptions used in the simulation model include instantaneous and permanent yield curve shifts for market rates and current asset and liability spreads to market interest rates are fixed. The following table sets forth our interest rate risk profile at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities and the impact on net interest income illustrated in the following table would vary substantially if different assumptions were used or if actual experience differs from that indicated by the assumptions. (Dollars in thousands) Change in Interest Rates (basis points) December 31, 2018 +200bp 0bp -100bp December 31, 2017 +200bp 0bp -100bp $ $ $ $ $ $ Net Portfolio Value(2) Net interest Income Estimated Increase (Decrease) Estimated NPV(1) Amount Percent Estimated Net Interest Income (3) Estimated Increase (Decrease) Amount Percent 177,661 $ (37,371) (17.4)% $ 56,056 $ (5,741) 215,032 221,122 $ — 6,090 — $ 61,797 (2.8)% $ 62,841 $ — 1,044 (9.3)% — 1.7 % 88,038 $ (20,247) (18.7)% $ 27,375 $ (4,148) (13.2)% 108,285 — — $ 31,523 105,903 $ (2,382) (2.2)% $ 31,860 $ — 337 — 1.1 % (1) Assumes an instantaneous and parallel shift in interest rates at all maturities. (2) NPV, also referred to as economic value of equity, is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. (3) Assumes a gradual change in interest rates over a one year period at all maturities. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in net interest income requires the making of certain assumptions regarding prepayment and deposit decay rates, which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. While management believes such assumptions are reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates and decay rates will approximate actual future loan prepayment and deposit withdrawal activity. Moreover, the net interest income table presented assumes that the composition of interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net interest income table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurement is not intended to and does not provide 37                                     a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and will differ from actual results.  Furthermore, the simulation does not reflect actions that ALCO might take in response to anticipated changes in interest rates or competitive conditions in the market place. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature.  result, the level of interest rates has a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than general levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or change with the same magnitude as the price of goods  Accordingly, the liquidity, interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics of and services, which are affected by inflation.   Management monitors and our assets and liabilities are more indicative of our ability to maintain acceptable performance levels.  seeks to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes by attempting to match the maturities of assets and liabilities, thus seeking to minimize the potential effect of inflation.  As a ITEM 8.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end  Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial of the period covered by this report.  Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely discussion regarding required disclosure. We regularly assess the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting and enhance our controls in response to internal control assessments and internal and external audit and regulatory requirements. As previously discussed, we completed our acquisition of Enterprise Bank, NJ during the fourth quarter of 2018 (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements). We are in the process of integrating certain controls and related procedures for legacy Enterprise with those of legacy SB One. Other than integrating such controls, during the three months ended December 31, 2018, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13A-15 (f) and 15d-15 (f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors as to the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, errors or fraud. Also, projections of any evaluations 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. 38                     Management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. In making this assessment, management used criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). In accordance with SEC rules, management elected to exclude Enterprise, acquired on December 21, 2018, from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. Enterprise, which merged with and into SB One Bank, represents approximately 15 percent of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2 percent of the Company’s consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2018. Based on this assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting is operating as designed and is effective based on the COSO criteria. Our independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, LLP, that audited the consolidated financial statements has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and our report dated March 18, 2019, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ BDO USA, LLP We have served as the Company's auditor since 2013. Woodbridge, New Jersey March 18, 2019 F-1 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Stockholders and Board of Directors SB One Bancorp Rockaway, New Jersey Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited SB One Bancorp’s (the “Company’s”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheets of SB One Bancorp (formerly Sussex Bancorp) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes, and our report dated March 18, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible 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 “Item 9A, Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit 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 audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. As indicated in the accompanying “Item 9A, Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Enterprise Bank N.J. (“Enterprise”), which was acquired on December 21, 2018, and was included in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Enterprise constituted approximately 16% and 18% of total assets and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2018, and less than 1% of both total revenue and net income for the year then ended. Management did not assess the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of Enterprise because of the timing of the acquisition which was completed on December 21, 2018. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Enterprise. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting 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.

(“SB One Insurance Agency”), formerly Tri-State Insurance Agency, Inc.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Organization and Nature of Operations The Company’s business is conducted principally through the Bank.  The Bank is a New Jersey state chartered bank and provides  The Bank generates commercial, mortgage and consumer loans and receives deposits from customers at its full banking services.  eight branches located in Sussex County, New Jersey, two branches in Essex County, New Jersey, one branch in Warren County, New Jersey, one branch in Bergen County, New Jersey, one branch in Middlesex County, New Jersey, one branch in Union County, New Jersey, and one in Queens County, New York.   As a state bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Company is subject to regulation by the Federal  SCB Investment Company, Inc., Community Investing Company, Inc. and SCBNY Company, Inc. hold portions Reserve Board.   SB One Insurance provides insurance agency services mostly through the sale of property and of the Bank’s investment portfolio.  casualty insurance policies.   ClassicLake Enterprises, LLC, and PPD Holding Company, LLC, GFR Maywood LLC and 490 Boulevard Realty Corp. hold certain foreclosed properties. In 2018, the Company opened a corporate office in Rockaway, New Jersey, a regional office and corporate centers in Wantage, New Jersey and Rochelle Park, New Jersey. Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the other-than- temporary impairment, allowance for loan losses, valuation of foreclosed real estate, valuation of goodwill, the valuation of deferred tax assets and the fair value of financial instruments.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.   Material Business Combinations The Company accounts for business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. The application of this method of accounting requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to properly allocate purchase price consideration between assets that are amortized, accreted or depreciated from those that are recorded as goodwill. Our estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based upon assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, and whenever necessary, include assistance from independent third- party appraisal and valuation firms. Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk Most of the Company’s activities are with customers located within Sussex, Bergen, and Essex Counties and adjacent counties in  Notes 4 and 5 discuss the types of securities that the Company invests the states of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.   Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, in.  The types of lending that the Company engages are included in Note 6.  its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the region’s economy.   The Company does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or customer. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid instruments with original maturities of less than 90 days, primarily, balances due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. Securities Securities are designated at the time of acquisition as available for sale or held to maturity. Securities that the Company will hold for indefinite periods of time and that might be sold in the future as part of efforts to manage interest rate risk or in response to F-9             SB ONE BANCORP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, changes in market conditions or changes in economic factors are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings  Securities that the Company has the positive and reported in other comprehensive (loss) income, net of related deferred tax effect.  intent and ability to hold to maturity are designated as held to maturity regardless of changes in market conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions and carried at amortized cost.  Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the level yield method over the contractual terms of the securities.  Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on the specific identification method and are reported in non-interest income. The Company periodically evaluates the security portfolio to determine if a decline in the fair value of any security below its cost basis is other-than-temporary. The Company’s evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment considers the duration and severity of the impairment, the company’s intent and ability to hold the securities and our assessments of the reason for the decline in value and the likelihood of a near-term recovery. If a determination is made that a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired, the Company will estimate the amount of the unrealized loss that is attributable to credit and all other non-credit related factors. The credit related component will be recognized as an other-than-temporary impairment charge in non-interest income. The non-credit related component will be recorded as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of tax. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock Federal law requires a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula.   Based on redemption provisions of the FHLB, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.   The FHLB stock was carried at $11.4 million and $4.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Commercial loans consist of the following classes: commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and construction loans.  consist of the following classes: residential real estate and consumer and other loans.  Residential and consumer loans For all classes of loans, the accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing.   A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid  Interest received on nonaccrual loans including interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses.  impaired loans generally are either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal.   Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time (generally six months) and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.  is determined based on contractual due dates for loan payments.  The past due status of all classes of loans receivable Purchased Credit Impaired (“PCI”) loans are loans acquired at a discount rate, in part, to credit quality. PCI loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality”, and are initially recorded at fair value (as determined by the present value of expected future cash flows) with no valuation allowance (i.e., the allowance for loan losses). The difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition and the initial carrying amount (fair value) of the PCI loans, or the “accretable yield,” is recognized as interest income utilizing the level-yield method over the life of the loans. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the “non-accretable difference,” are not recognized as a yield adjustment, as a loss accrual or a valuation allowance. Reclassifications of the non-accretable difference to the accretable yield may occur subsequent to the loan acquisition dates due to increases in expected cash flows of the loans and would result in an increase in yield on a prospective basis. F-10               SB ONE BANCORP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses represents the amount, which, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The adequacy of the allowance is determined by management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio based on such factors as the differing economic risks associated with each loan category, the current financial condition of specific borrowers, the economic environment in which borrowers operate, the level of delinquent loans, the value of any collateral and, where applicable, the existence of any guarantees or indemnifications.  The allowance for loan losses consists of specific, general and unallocated components.  The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income.   Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses.   For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  value or observable market price is lower than the carrying value for that loan.   The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss factors adjusted for general economic factors and other qualitative risk factors such as changes in delinquency trends, industry concentrations and local/national economic trends. The allowance contains reserves identified as unallocated. These reserves reflect management's attempt to ensure that the overall allowance reflects a margin for imprecision and the uncertainty that is inherent in estimates of probable credit losses.  The specific component A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.   Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.   Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.   Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and industrial, commercial real estate and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”) A modification to the terms of a loan is generally considered a TDR if the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties.  is not necessarily limited to, the modification of loan terms such as a temporary or permanent reduction of the loan’s stated interest rate, extension of the maturity date and/or reduction or deferral of amounts owed under the terms of the loan agreement.  A TDR may include, but All restructured loans that qualify as TDRs are placed on nonaccrual status for a period of no less than six months after restructuring, irrespective of the borrower’s adherence to a TDR’s modified repayment terms during which time TDRs continue to be adversely classified and reported as impaired. TDRs may be returned to accrual status if (1) the borrower has performed in accordance with the terms of the restructured loan agreement for no less than six consecutive months after restructuring, and (2) the Company  If these conditions expects to receive all principal and interest owed in accordance with the terms of the restructured loan agreement.  are met the loan may also be returned to a non-adverse classification while retaining its impaired status. Transfers of Financial Assets  Control over transferred Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered.  assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (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) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. Foreclosed Real Estate Foreclosed real estate is primarily comprised of property acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed-in- lieu of foreclosure. Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at fair value, less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis.   Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in expenses related to foreclosed real estate.  F-11                   SB ONE BANCORP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS We may obtain physical possession of residential real estate collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan via foreclosure on an in- substance repossession. As of December 31, 2018, we held $1.3 million in foreclosed residential real estate properties as a result of obtaining physical possession. As of December 31, 2017, we held $179 thousand in foreclosed residential real estate properties as a result of obtaining physical possession. In addition, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had consumer loans with a carrying value of $682 thousand and $180 thousand, respectively, collateralized by residential real estate property for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process. Premises and Equipment Land is carried at cost.  the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets:  Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.   Depreciation is computed on Buildings and building improvements Leasehold improvements Furniture, fixtures and equipment Computer equipment and software Years 20 – 40 5 – 10 5 – 10 3 – 5 The Company periodically evaluates impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of by sale. There was no impairment of long-lived assets at any of the reported periods.

Increases in the carrying value are recorded as other income in the consolidated statements of income and insurance proceeds received are generally recorded as a reduction of the carrying value. The carrying value consists of cash surrender value of $35.8 million at December 31, 2018 and $22.1 million at December 31, 2017. Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired.  2017, the Company has recorded goodwill totaling $27.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, consisting of $22.3 million from the acquisition of Community in 2018, $2.2 million from the acquisition of Enterprise in 2018, $2.3 million from the acquisition  In accordance with current of an insurance agency in 2001 and $486 thousand from the acquisition of a bank branch in 2006.  accounting standards, goodwill is not amortized, but evaluated at least annually for impairment.   Any impairment of goodwill  The Company periodically assesses whether events and changes in circumstances indicate that the results in a charge to income.  carrying amounts of goodwill and intangible assets may be impaired.   The estimated fair value of each reporting segment exceeded its book value; therefore, no write-down of goodwill was required.  Goodwill related to acquisitions is not deductible for tax purposes.  At December 31, 2018 and The balance of other intangible assets at December 31, 2018 totaled $2.1 million representing the remaining unamortized balance of the core deposit intangibles ascribed to the value of deposits acquired by the Bank through the acquisitions of Community in January 2018 and Enterprise in December 2018. The Company did not have intangible assets at December 31, 2017. Core deposit premiums represent the intangible value of depositor relationships assumed in purchase acquisitions and are amortized on an accelerated basis over 10 years. Advertising Costs The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset/liability method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes.  The income tax guidance results in two components of  Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period income tax expense: current and deferred.  by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues.   Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  F-12             SB ONE BANCORP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which they occur.   A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become available.  Because the judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond the Company’s control, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s judgment about the need for a valuation allowance for deferred taxes could change in the near term. In connection with the accounting guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions, the Company has evaluated  A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax its tax positions as of December 31, 2018.  position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.   The amount recognized is the largest amount of the tax benefit that has more than a 50 percent likelihood of being realized on examination.  For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.   Under the “more likely than not” threshold guidelines, the Company believes no significant uncertain tax positions exist, either individually or in the aggregate, that would give rise to the non-recognition of an existing tax benefit.  accrued interest or penalties.  The Company’s policy is to account for interest as a component of interest expense and penalties as a component of other expense.  The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return as well as income tax returns in the States of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns subsequent to 2015 remain subject to examination by respective tax authorities.  As of December 31, 2018 the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits or Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit.   Such financial instruments are recorded in the balance sheet when they are funded. Derivatives The Company utilizes derivative instruments in the form of interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in its cash flows due to interest rate risk. The variability in cash flows is managed as part of the Company’s asset/liability management process.  accordance with accounting requirements, the Company formally designates all of its hedging relationships as cash flow hedges, intended to offset changes in the cash flows of certain financial instruments due to movement in interest rates, and documents the strategy for undertaking the hedge transactions and its method of assessing ongoing effectiveness.  In All derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Financial Statements at their fair values.   Should the cash flow hedge become ineffective, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value (i.e. gain or loss) is reported in current period earnings.   The effective portion of the change in fair value is initially recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction effects earnings.  Derivative effectiveness and ineffectiveness will be assessed and measured at the date of designation (inception), each reporting date, and whenever a designated hedge period is terminated to ensure that ongoing high effectiveness is expected by regression analysis of the periodic change in fair value of the hedging instrument and the periodic change in fair value of the hypothetical derivative. The Company’s interest rate derivatives are comprised entirely of interest rate swaps hedging floating-rate and forecasted issuances of fixed-rate liabilities and accounted for as cash flow hedges.  balance of other assets or other liabilities. Changes in fair value are offset against accumulated other comprehensive income, net of deferred income tax.  The carrying value of interest rate derivatives is included in the Stock Compensation Plans The Company currently has multiple stock plans in place for employees and directors of the Company. U.S. GAAP requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements.  The share-based compensation accounting guidance requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and recognized over a defined  For awards with graded-vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting vesting period.   A Black-Scholes model is used to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of period for the entire award.  the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards.   If pre-vesting termination (forfeiture) occurs, then any expense recognized to date can be reversed. Effective in 2016, the Company and Bank amended the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Agreement (“DCA”) to permit directors of the Company and Bank to defer their board fees in the form of shares of to be held in Rabbi Trust. Fees deferred in the form of F-13       SB ONE BANCORP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS shares placed in the Rabbi Trust are accounted for and disclosed in accordance with the applicable guidance specific to deferred compensation plans involving Rabbi Trusts contained within Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) section 710. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share represents net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  The weighted-average common shares outstanding include the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the weighted average number of unvested shares of participating restricted stock.  Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance.   Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to unexercised outstanding stock options.   Potential common shares related to stock options are determined using the treasury stock method. Shares held by the Rabbi Trust are treated as treasury stock for purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share calculations while the related share obligations are reflection in the denominator of the earnings per share calculations in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260-10-45. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive income includes revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive income but excluded from net income. Comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) are reported net of related income taxes. AOCI for the Company consists of unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale and fair value adjustments on derivatives.

Revenue Recognition of SB One Insurance Agency Commission revenues are recognized as of the effective date of the insurance policy or the date on which the policy premium is processed into our systems, whichever is later. Commission revenues related to installment billings are recognized on the latter of effective or invoiced date. Subsequent commission adjustments are recognized upon our receipt of notification from insurance companies concerning matters necessitating such adjustments. Profit-sharing contingent commissions are recognized when determinable, which is generally when such commissions are received from insurance companies, or when we receive formal notification of the amount of such payments. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date of December 31, 2018 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements.   The evaluation was conducted through the date these financial statements were issued. New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 to amend its guidance on “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (Topic 606). The objective of the ASU is to align the recognition of revenue with the transfer of promised goods or services provided to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB issued an amendment (ASU 2015-14) which defers the effective F-14     SB ONE BANCORP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS date of this new guidance by one year. More detailed implementation guidance on Topic 606 was issued in March 2016 (ASU 2016-08), April 2016 (ASU 2016-10) May 2016 (ASU 2016-12), December 2016 (ASU 2016-20), February 2017 (ASU 2017-05) and September 2017 (ASU 2017-13), and the effective date and transition requirements for these ASUs are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09. The amendments in Topic 606 are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Approximately 80% of the Company’s revenue is comprised of interest income on financial assets, which are explicitly excluded from the scope of Topic 606.  With respect to the remaining elements of our non-interest income, management has identified revenue streams within the scope of the guidance, primarily insurance commissions and fees, service fees on deposits and ATM and debit card fees. Topic 606 states that revenue should be recognized when the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring goods or services to the customer. An asset is considered transferred when the customer obtains control of the asset and is able to use and obtain substantially all of the benefits of the asset. The entity then has to determine whether the performance obligation was satisfied over time or at a point in time to determine when to recognize revenue. For insurance commissions and fees, we determined based on the criteria presented in Topic 606 that once the contract is executed there is no further obligation by SB One Insurance; therefore, the revenue would be recognized at the time the contract period begins. For service fees on deposits and ATM/Debit Card fees, we determined based on the criteria presented in Topic 606 that the performance obligation was satisfied at a point in time since the customer obtains immediate control of the deposit accounts and ATM/Debit Card and there are no additional obligations that the entity performs over time; therefore, the revenue would be recognized as received. The Company recognized $6.6 million in insurance commissions and fees, $1.3 million in income for Service fees on deposit accounts and $983 thousand in ATM and debit card fees for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company has and continues to present the revenue and associated costs on a net basis. ASU 2014-09 and related amendments were adopted effective January 1, 2018, using the cumulative effect approach. Under this alternative, the Company applied the new revenue standard only to contracts that are incomplete under legacy U.S. GAAP at the date of initial application and did not recognize the cumulative effect of the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. That is, prior years will not be restated and additional disclosures will be provided to enable users of the financial statements to understand the impact of adopting the new standard in the current year compared to prior years that are presented under legacy U.S. GAAP. The Company`s adoption of the ASU did not significantly change the recognition of revenue on the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 22 Revenue Recognition for additional information. In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01, among other things, (i) requires equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (iii) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (iv) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (v) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (vi) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (vii) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The Company`s adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all public business entities upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases which was issued to clarify and correct untended application of the guidance in ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU affect aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02 and provide clarification to related topics, such as 1) Rate implicit in the lease; 2) Reassessment of leases; 3) Transition guidance; and 4) Impairment of net investment in the lease. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides guidance related to comparative reporting requirements for initial adoption and separating lease and non-lease components. Currently, entities are required to adopt the new standard utilizing the modified retrospective approach. This amendment provides F-15   SB ONE BANCORP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS entities with an additional transition method which allows entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Currently, ASU 2016-02, provides a practical expedient to lessees to allow them to not separate non-lease components from lease components; however, it does not provide a similar practical expedient to lessors. This amendment provides a practical expedient to lessors which allows them the option to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components. However, the lessor practical expedient is limited to circumstances in which the non-lease components would otherwise be account for under the new revenue guidance (Topic 606). In addition, both of the following conditions must be met: 1) the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for non-lease components and associated lease components 2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. An entity that elects the lessor practical expedient is also required to provide certain disclosures. For entities that early adopted Topic 842 the amendments in these ASUs are effective upon issuance. The Company adopted both ASU No. 2016-02 and ASU No. 2018-11 effective January 1, 2019 and elected to apply the guidance as of the beginning of the period of adoption (January 1, 2019) and not restate comparative periods. The Company also elected certain optional practical expedients, which allow the Company to forego a reassessment of (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) the initial direct costs for any existing leases.  Additionally, the Company elected to adopt the practical expedient use of hindsight to determine right if use asset and lease liability for each lease with a renewal option through their first option date. The Company also anticipates additional disclosures to be provided on its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Adoption of the standard did not result in material changes to the Company's consolidated results of operations. The Company's adoption of the ASU resulted in a right of use asset and lease liability of approximately $2.7 million at January 1, 2019. The impact of the adoption on the Company's operating results will not be significant. In June, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for- sale (AFS) debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. This ASU will be effective for public business entities that are SEC filers in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All other entities will have one additional year. Early application of the guidance will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has determined that a third-party vendor will assist with model development, data governance and operational controls to support the adoption of this ASU.  Model implementation, including development and validation, is set to be begin in the second quarter of 2019, as is the establishment of the control activities required to support the models. In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which addresses eight classification issues related to the statement of cash flows: (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of zero-coupon bonds, (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate- owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (vi) distributions received from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the ASU in an interim period, adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. Entities should apply this ASU using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable for an entity to apply the ASU retrospectively for some of the issues, it may apply the amendments for those issues prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company`s adoption of the ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350). The main objective of this ASU is to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment by requiring impairment charges be based upon the first step in the current two-step impairment test under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350. Currently, if the fair value of a reporting unit is lower than its carrying amount (Step 1), an entity calculates any impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount (Step 2). This ASU’s objective is to simplify how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The standard will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption F-16   SB ONE BANCORP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (Subtopic 310-20). The update shortens the amortization period for premiums on purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The amendment will apply only to callable debt securities with explicit, noncontingent call features that are callable at fixed prices and on preset dates, apply to all premiums on callable debt securities, regardless of how they were generated, and require companies to reset the effective yield using the payment terms of the debt security if the call option is not exercised on the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount. The discount continues to be amortized to maturity and does not apply when the investor has already incorporated prepayments into the calculation of its effective yield under other GAAP. The amendments in the ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company's adoption of the ASU will not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The objective of the ASU is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and to make improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The amendments in the ASU will, among other things, 1) permit hedge accounting for risk components in hedging relationships involving nonfinancial risk and interest rate risks; 2) change the guidance for designating fair value hedges of interest rate risk and for measuring the change in fair value of the hedged item in fair value hedges of interest rate risk; 3) modify disclosures to include a tabular disclosure related to the effect on the income statement of fair value and cash flow hedges; and 4) eliminate the requirement to disclose the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of hedging instruments. These changes will more closely align the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with risk management activities and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. ASU 2017-12 will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the update with all transition requirements and elections being applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption. The Company's adoption of the ASU will not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In January 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-02 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) which introduces guidance for stranded tax effects resulting from the re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the newly enacted Tax Act. The amendments in ASU 2018-02 would require a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings for tax effects resulting from the re-measurement. The amount of the reclassification would be the difference between the amount initially charged or credited to other comprehensive income at the previous U.S. federal corporate income tax rate (34 percent) that remains in AOCI and the amount that would’ve been charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income using the newly enacted U.S. federal corporate income tax rate (21 percent). ASU 2018-02 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the amendments in this ASU using a retrospective transition method to each period in which the effect of the change in U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the “Tax Act” is recognized. Early application is permitted, including adoption in interim periods, for public business entities in which financial statements have not yet been issued and for all other entities in which financial statements have not been made available for issuance. As a result of the “Tax Act” the Company re-measured their deferred tax assets and liabilities utilizing the newly enacted federal corporate income tax rate which resulted in a reduction of $247 thousand in deferred tax liabilities related to elements of accumulated other comprehensive income and a related reduction of federal income tax of $247 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company elected to early adopt this ASU and, accordingly, has reclassified the $247 thousand from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings effective December 31, 2017. Such reclassification is reflected in the Company`s consolidated statements of stockholders' equity. In June 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-07 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The main objective of this ASU is to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions in current GAAP by expanding the scope to include nonemployee share-based payment transactions. This ASU will apply to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used in their own operations by issuing share-based payments. This ASU does not apply to share-based payments used to provide financing to the issuer or awards issued in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in the ASU will require an entity to, among other things, 1) measure nonemployee share-based payment awards at the fair value of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue when the good has been delivered or the service has been rendered; 2) measure equity classified F-17 SB ONE BANCORP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS nonemployee share-based payment awards at the grant date; and 3) take into consideration the probability of satisfying performance conditions when accounting for nonemployee share-based payment awards with such conditions. ASU 2018-07 will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted; however, an entity’s adoption date shall not be earlier than the entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. Per review of the ASU, the Company determined that it does not pertain to our current operations; therefore, no evaluation regarding adoption is required. In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The updates in this ASU are part of the disclosure framework project and modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The modifications include removal, modification, and removal of disclosure requirements. The ASU removed the following disclosure requirements: a) The amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, b) The policy for timing of transfers between levels, c) The valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements, c) For nonpublic entities, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in earnings for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period. The ASU added the following disclosure requirements: a) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; b) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also modified the following disclosure requirements: a)In lieu of a rollforward for Level 3 fair value measurements, a nonpublic entity is required to disclose transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and purchases and issues of Level 3 assets and liabilities; b) For investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee's assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly; c) Clarifies that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The updates in this ASU are part of the disclosure framework project ASU 2018-14 and modify the disclosure requirements under ASC 715-201 for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Those modifications include the removal, addition, and of disclosure requirements as well as clarifying specific disclosure requirements. The ASU removed the following disclosures: a) the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year; b) the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer; c) the disclosures related to the June 2001 amendments to the Japanese Welfare Pension Insurance Law; d) related party disclosures about the amount of future annual benefits covered by insurance and annuity contracts and significant transactions between the employer or related parties and the plan; and e) for nonpublic entities, the reconciliation of the opening balances to the closing balances of plan assets measured on a recurring basis in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. However, nonpublic entities will be required to disclose separately the amounts of transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and purchases of Level 3 plan assets. f) For public entities, the effects of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the (a) aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and (b) benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. The ASU added the following disclosures: a) The weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates. b) An explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. The ASU then clarified the following disclosures: a) the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with PBOs more than plan assets; and b) the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with ABOs more than plan assets. ASU 2018-14 will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16: “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes”. The amendment permits the use of the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. ASU 2018-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period upon issuance of this ASU if an entity already has adopted ASU 2017-12. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively for qualifying new or F-18 SB ONE BANCORP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. The Company will evaluate the effect of ASU No. 2018-16 on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS On January 4, 2018 the Company announced the successful closing of the merger with Community Bank of Bergen County, NJ, a New Jersey-chartered bank (“Community”) in an all-stock transaction (the “Community Merger”). The Community Merger enhanced and expanded SB One Bank’s presence in Bergen County, New Jersey with the addition of 3 full service branch locations in that county, which complements SB One Bank’s existing location in Oradell, New Jersey. Under the terms of the agreement, Community merged with and into SB One Bank, with SB One Bank being the surviving entity and each outstanding share of Community common stock was exchanged for 0.97 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company issued 1,873,028 shares of its common stock, having an aggregate fair value of $51.9 million in the Community Merger and paid approximately $2 thousand in cash for fractional shares. Outstanding Community stock options were paid out in cash by the Company for a total payment of $140 thousand. Expenses related to the Community merger totaled $4.0 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31 2018 and 2017, respectively. On December 21, 2018, the Company announced the successful completion of the merger with Enterprise Bank N.J. (“Enterprise”) in an all-stock transaction (the "Enterprise Merger"). The Enterprise Merger is expected to enhance and expand the Company's presence in Union, Middlesex and Essex Counties, New Jersey with the addition of 4 full service branch locations in those counties. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Enterprise merged with and into SB One Bank and each outstanding share of Enterprise common stock was exchanged for 0.4538 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued 1,573,454 shares of its common stock, having an aggregate fair value of $32.4 million and paid approximately $1 thousand in cash for fractional shares. Outstanding Enterprise stock options were paid out in cash by the Company for a total payment of $1.6 million. Expenses related to the Enterprise merger totaled $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 Community The Community acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management's best estimate using information available at the date of the acquisition, including the use of a third party valuation specialist. The following table summarized the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for Community.

The fair values of certificates of deposits and IRAs represent the present value of contractual cash flows discounted at market rates for similar certificates of deposit. The Company has finalized the accounting as a result of the merger with Community. Fair values of the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined as follows: Investment securities available-for-sale The estimated fair values of the investment securities available for sale, primarily comprised of U.S. Government agency mortgage- backed securities, U.S. government agencies and municipal bonds, were determined using open market pricing provided by multiple independent securities brokers. Management reviewed the open market quotes used in pricing the securities. A fair value discount of $261 thousand was recorded on the investments. Loans Loans acquired in the Community acquisition were recorded at fair value, and there was no carryover related allowance for loan and lease losses. The fair values of loans acquired from Community were estimated using cash flow projections based on the remaining maturity and repricing terms. Cash flows were adjusted for estimated future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected cash flows were then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans. The fair value of the acquired loans receivable had a gross amortized cost basis of $242.5 million. The table below illustrates the fair value adjustments made to the amortized cost basis in order to present a fair value of the loans acquired. The credit adjustment on purchased credit impaired loans is derived in accordance with ASC 310-30 and represents the portion of the loan balances that has been deemed uncollectible based on the Company’s expectations of future cash flows for each respective loan on a level yield amortization over 3.5 years. (Dollars in thousands) Gross amortized cost basis at January 4, 2018 Fair value adjustment on general pooled loans Credit fair value adjustment on purchased credit impaired loans Fair value of acquired loans at January 4, 2018 $ $ 242,471 (3,737) (2,664) 236,070 For loans acquired without evidence of credit quality deterioration, the Company prepared the interest rate loan fair value and credit fair value adjustments. Loans were grouped into general pools by characteristics such as loan type, term, collateral and rate. Market rates for similar loans were obtained from various internal and external data sources and reviewed by management for reasonableness. The average of these rates was used as the fair value interest rate a market participant would utilize. A present value approach was utilized to calculate the interest rate fair value premium of $324 thousand. Additionally for loans acquired without credit deterioration, a credit fair value adjustment was calculated using a two-part credit fair value analysis: 1) expected lifetime credit migration losses; and 2) estimated fair value adjustment for certain qualitative factors. The expected lifetime losses were calculated using historical losses observed at the Bank, Community and peer banks. The Company also estimated an environmental factor to apply to each loan type. The environmental factor represents potential discount which may arise due to general credit and economic factors. A credit fair value discount of $4.1 million was determined. Both the interest rate and credit fair value adjustments relate to performing loans and loans acquired with evidence of credit quality deterioration will be substantially recognized as interest income on a level yield amortization method over the weighted average life of the loans of 4 years.

The fair value of Community’s premises was determined based upon independent third-party appraisals performed by licensed appraisers in the market in which the premises are located which will be amortized on a straight line basis over 40 years. Core Deposit Intangible The fair value of the core deposit intangible was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate commensurate with market participants. To calculate cash flows, deposit account servicing costs (net of deposit fee income) and interest expense on deposits were compared to the cost of alternative funding sources available through national brokered CD offering rates. The projected cash flows were developed using projected deposit attrition rates. The core deposit intangible will be amortized over ten years using the sum-of-years digits method. The core deposit intangible totaled $1.3 million and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 10 years using an accelerated method of the sum of the years digits. The goodwill will be evaluated annually for impairment. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized from the merger with Community was created based on the consideration paid by the Company for enhancing its presence in the Bergen County, NJ area in addition to our expected synergies from the combined operations of the Company and Community. Time Deposits The fair value adjustment for time deposits represents a discount from the value of the contractual repayments of fixed-maturity deposits using prevailing market interest rates for similar-term time deposits. The time deposit discount of approximately $965 thousand is being amortized into income on a level yield amortization method over the contractual life of the deposits of 22.5 months and a weighted average life of 16.5 months. Bank Owned Life Insurance Community's bank-owned life insurance book value was $8.0 million with no fair value adjustment. Borrowings The Company acquired borrowings at Community's carrying value of $12.0 million with no fair value adjustment. The remaining maturity of Community's borrowings was less than thirty days at a weighted average cost of funds equivalent to the current market rate for the similar term borrowing type.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company uses a hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing  The three broad levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows: observability utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value.  Level I - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. Level II - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these asset and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. Level III - Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of reported date.   These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of market participants’ estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

Impaired Loans (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value): Fair value of impaired loans is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds.   These assets are included in Level III fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.  Derivatives (Carried at Fair Value): The fair value of the Company's derivatives are determined using discounted cash flow analysis using observable market-based inputs, which are considered Level 2 inputs. Other Real Estate Owned (Carried at Fair Value): Other Real Estate Owned is recorded at estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs when acquired, thus establishing a new cost basis. Fair value is generally based on independent appraisals. These appraisals include adjustments to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience. When an asset is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over fair value, less estimated selling costs, a writedown is recorded through expense.

The Company elected to account for the loans with evidence of credit deterioration individually rather than aggregate them into pools. The difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition and the investment in the acquired loans, or the “accretable yield,” is recognized as interest income utilizing the level-yield method over the life of each loan. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the “non-accretable difference,” are not recognized as a yield adjustment, as a loss accrual or as a valuation allowance. Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the yield on the loans over the remaining life, while decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments through a loss provision and an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses. Valuation allowances (recognized in the allowance for loan and lease losses) on these impaired loans reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (representing all cash flows that were expected at acquisition but currently are not expected to be received).

Specific loan terms vary as to interest rate, repayment, and collateral requirements based on the type of loan requested and the credit worthiness of the prospective borrower. Credit risk tends to be geographically concentrated in that a majority of the loan customers are located in the markets serviced by the Company. Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and/or property type. A description of the Company's different loan segments follows: Commercial Loans: Commercial credit is extended primarily to middle market and small business customers. Commercial loans are generally made in the Company's market place for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes. Loans will generally be guaranteed in full or for a meaningful amount by the businesses' major owners. Underwriting of commercial loans is based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided. Residential Mortgage and Consumer Loans: The Company originates mortgage and consumer loans including principally residential real estate and home equity lines and loans. Each loan type is evaluated on debt to income, type of collateral and loan to collateral value, credit history and Company relationship with the borrower. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company estimates losses based on the identification of specific problem loans through its credit review process and also estimates losses inherent in other loans on an aggregate basis by loan type.  The credit review process includes the independent evaluation of the loan officer assigned risk ratings by the Chief Credit Officer and a third party loan review company.   Such risk ratings are assigned loss component factors that reflect the Company’s  It is management’s and the board of directors’ responsibility to oversee the lending process loss estimate for each group of loans.  F-35                                       SB ONE BANCORP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS to ensure that all credit risks are properly identified, monitored, and controlled, and that loan pricing, terms, and other safeguards against non-performance and default are commensurate with the level of risk undertaken and is rated as such based on a risk-rating system.  Factors considered in assigning risk ratings and loss component factors include: borrower specific information related to expected future cash flows and operating results, collateral values, financial condition, payment status and other information; levels of and trends in portfolio charge-offs and recoveries; levels in portfolio delinquencies; effects of changes in loan concentrations and observed trends in the economy and other qualitative measurements. The Company’s risk-rating system as defined below is consistent with the system used by regulatory agencies and consistent with industry practices.

Substandard: This category represents loans that the primary source of repayment has significantly deteriorated or weakened which has or could threaten the borrowers’ ability to make scheduled payments.   The weaknesses require close supervision by the Company’s management and there is a distinct possibility that the Company could sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  principal and interest or fees due.  by current financial information or pledged collateral.  Such weaknesses could jeopardize the timely and ultimate collection of our loan  Loss may not be expected or evident, however, loan repayment is inadequately supported Doubtful: Loans so classified have all the inherent weaknesses of a substandard loan with the added provision that  The probability of at least partial loss collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable and not reasonably assured.  is high, but extraneous factors might strengthen the asset to prevent loss. The validity of the extraneous factors must be continuously monitored. Once these factors are questionable the loan should be considered for full or partial charge-off. Loss: Loans so classified are considered uncollectible, and of such little value that their continuance as active assets of the Company is not warranted.   Such loans are fully charged off. Residential and consumer loans are rated non-performing if they are delinquent in payments ninety or more days, or a TDR with less than six (6) months current contractual performance or past maturity. All other residential and consumer loans not rated pass or better are reviewed on a case by case basis at the time of a credit event.

NOTE 12 – DERIVATIVES The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.  The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company entered into four interest rate swap agreements used to hedge the variable cash outflows associated with two future three month FHLB borrowings totaling $75.0 million, with an effective date of September 15, 2018, two interest rate swaps mature September 15, 2021 with fixed rates of 2.89% and 2.85%, and the other two mature September 15, 2022 with fixed rates of 2.90% and 2.86%. During the year ended December 31, 2017 such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash outflows associated with four FHLB borrowings totaling $26.0 million. In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge its $12.5 million variable rate (3 Mo Libor +1.44%) subordinated debt issued by Sussex Capital Trust II, a non-consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, for 10 years at a fixed rate of 3.10%.  The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The Company implemented this program during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 the Company did not record any hedge ineffectiveness.

The majority of the Company’s revenues come from interest income and other sources, including loans, leases, securities, and derivatives that are outside the scope of ASC 606. The Company’s services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within other income and are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies its performance obligation to the customer. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include deposit service charges on deposits, interchange income, and insurance contracts. The Company, using a modified retrospective transition approach, determined that there will be no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as a result of adopting the new standard, nor will the standard have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements including the timing or amounts of revenue recognized. All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized within other income. The following table presents the Company’s sources of other income for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Sources of revenue outside the scope of ASC 606 are noted as such.

Transaction- based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed at the point in the time the Company fulfills the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance. Interchange Income The Company earns interchange fees from debit and credit card holder transactions conducted through various payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided by an outsource technology solution and are presented on a net basis. Insurance commissions and fees Commission revenues are recognized as of the effective date of the insurance policy or the date on which the policy premium is processed into our systems, whichever is later. Commission revenues related to installment billings are recognized on the latter of effective or invoiced date. Subsequent commission adjustments are recognized upon our receipt of notification from insurance companies concerning matters necessitating such adjustments. Profit-sharing contingent commissions are recognized when determinable, which is generally when such commissions are received from insurance companies, or when we receive formal notification of the amount of such payments. Other Other fees consist of revenues that are both in scope and out of scope of ASC 606. Other fee revenues in scope of ASC 606 are made up of wire transfer fees for deposit customers, other agency fee income for SB One Insurance, and other deposit related fees. Revenues for such fees are recognized at the point the fee is incurred by the customer. NOTE 23 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY, CAPITAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS In 2017, the Company closed a public offering of 1,136,363 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $24.00 per share. The Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 113,636 shares of its common stock, which was exercised in full by the Underwriters on June 16, 2017. The net proceeds to the Company (including the proceeds from the exercise of the Underwriters’ option) after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions was $28.0 million, which will be used for general corporate purposes. The Company incurred $470 thousand in offering expenses which reduced net proceeds. The Company is required to maintain cash reserve balances either in vault cash or with the Federal Reserve Bank.  those reserve balances was approximately $4.4 million at December 31, 2018.  The total of  Failure to meet the The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  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 Company’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  The Bank’s of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors. The federal banking agencies have substantially amended the regulatory risk-based capital rules applicable to the Bank. The amendments implemented the “Basel III” regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The new rules apply regulatory capital requirements to the Bank.   The amended rules included new minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios, which became effective in January 2015, with certain requirements to be phased in beginning in 2016, and refined the definition of what constitutes “capital” for purposes of calculating those ratios. F-55       SB ONE BANCORP NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The new minimum capital level requirements applicable to the Bank include: (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 5.75% (increased from 4.5% ; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.25% (increased from 6%); (iii) a total capital ratio of 9.25% (increased from 8%); and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% for all institutions. The amended rules establish a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% (phased in over four years at 0.625% per year) above the new regulatory minimum capital ratios, and would result in the following phased-in minimum ratios when fully implemented: (i) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%; and (iii) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. The new capital conservation buffer requirement phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year until fully implemented in January 2019. An institution will 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 will establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. As of December 31, 2018, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

At December 31, 2018, the Bank’s funds available for payment of dividends were $203.4 million.  the Company’s equity in the net assets of the Bank was restricted as of December 31, 2018.  Accordingly, $4.4 million of In addition, dividends paid by the Bank to the Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.
