Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

References to "we," "us," and "our" or the "Company" refers to Sound Financial Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sound Community Bank, unless the context otherwise requires.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2017 ("2016 Form 10-K"). The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2016, included in the 2016 Form 10-K. Certain amounts in the prior quarters' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These classifications do not have an impact on previously reported consolidated net income, retained earnings, stockholders' equity or earnings per share.

Note 2 – Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued or Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which creates Topic 606 and supersedes Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which postponed the effective date of 2014-09. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net, which amended the principal versus agent implementation guidance set for in ASU 2014-09. Among other things, ASU 2016-08 clarifies that an entity should evaluate whether it is the principal or the agent for each specified good or service promised in a contract with a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The ASU amends certain aspects of the guidance set forth in the FASB's new revenue standard related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In general, the new ASU requires companies to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provides clarifying guidance in certain narrow areas and adds some practical expedients, but does not change the core revenue recognition principle in Topic 606. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; early adoption is not permitted. For financial reporting purposes, the ASU allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning this ASU is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the ASU is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. As a financial institution, the Company's largest component of revenue, interest income, is excluded from the scope of this ASU. Accordingly, the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The new guidance is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. This ASU requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. In addition, the ASU requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes and requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. This ASU also eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The ASU also requires a reporting organization 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 (also referred to as "own credit") when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for certain provisions. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-01is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Management is in the planning stages of developing processes and procedures to comply with the disclosure requirements of this ASU, which could impact the disclosures the Company makes related to the fair value of its financial instruments.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize, on the balance sheet, the assets and liabilities arising from operating leases. A lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A lessee should include payments to be made in an optional period only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. For a finance lease, interest payments should be recognized separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income. For operating leases, the lease cost should be allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments in the ASU is permitted. Although an estimate of the impact of the new leasing standard has not yet been determined, once adopted, we expect to report higher assets and liabilities as a result of including right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to certain banking offices and certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements, however, based on current leases the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodology that recognizes credit losses when a probable loss has been incurred with new methodology where loss estimates are based upon lifetime expected credit losses. The amendments in this ASU require a financial asset that is measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The income statement would then reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as changes to the expected credit losses that have taken place during the reporting period. The measurement of expected credit losses will be based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that impact the collectability of the reported amount. Available-for-sale securities will bifurcate the fair value mark and establish an allowance for credit losses through the income statement for the credit portion of that mark. The interest portion will continue to be recognized through accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The change in allowance recognized as a result of adoption will occur through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the ASU is adopted. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted after December 15, 2018. The Company has begun the process to implement this new standard by working with a vendor that specializes in this area. While the Company has not quantified the impact of this ASU, it does expect changing from the current incurred loss model to an expected loss model will result in an earlier recognition of losses. The Company also expects that once adopted the allowance for loan losses will increase, however, until its evaluation is complete the magnitude of the increase will be unknown.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU addresses the appropriate classification of eight specific cash flow issues on the cash flow statement. Debt prepayment costs should be classified as an outflow for financing activities. Settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments divides the interest portion as an outflow for operating activities and the principal portion as an outflow for financing activities. Contingent consideration payments made after a business combination should be classified as outflows for financing and operating activities. Proceeds from the settlement of bank-owned life insurance policies should be classified as inflows from investing activities. Other specific areas are identified in the ASU as to the appropriate classification of the cash inflows or outflows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and must be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20). ASU 2017-08 is intended to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. Under ASU 2017-08, the FASB is shortening the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. Under current GAAP, entities generally amortize the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument. ASU 2017-08 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is reviewing its securities portfolio to assess the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements but does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation--Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The ASU was issued to provide clarity as to when to apply modification accounting when there is a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. According to this ASU, an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value, vesting conditions, and balance sheet classification of the award is the same after the modification as compared to the original award prior to the modification. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This ASU amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in ASC 815 to (1) improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity's risk management activities by better aligning the entity's financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities and (2) reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. The amendments in this ASU permit hedge accounting for hedging relationships involving nonfinancial risk and interest rate risk by removing certain limitations in cash flow and fair value hedging relationships. In addition, the ASU requires an entity to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Investments

The amortized cost and fair value of our available-for-sale ("AFS") securities and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized gains and losses at the dates indicated were as follows (in thousands):

The amortized cost and fair value of AFS securities at September 30, 2017, by contractual maturity, are shown below (in thousands). Expected maturities of AFS securities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Investments not due at a single maturity date, primarily mortgage-backed investments, are shown separately.

There were no pledged securities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

There were no sales of AFS securities during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

The following tables summarize the aggregate fair value and gross unrealized loss by length of time of those investments that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at the dates indicated (in thousands):

There were no credit losses recognized in earnings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016 relating to the Company's securities.

At September 30, 2017, two municipal securities were in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and one municipal security was in an unrealized loss position for over 12 months. At December 31, 2016, three municipal securities were in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and one agency security and one non-agency mortgage-backed security were in a loss position for over 12 months. The agency mortgage-backed security in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2016 was guaranteed by a U.S. governmental agency. The non-agency mortgage-backed security was fully redeemed during the third quarter of 2017. The unrealized losses were caused by changes in market interest rates or the widening of market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of these securities, and not related to the underlying credit of the issuers or the underlying collateral. It is expected that these securities will not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of each investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates or widening market spreads and not credit quality, and because we do not intend to sell the securities in this class and it is not likely that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may include holding each security until contractual maturity. The unrealized losses on these investments are not considered an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016.

Credit Quality Indicators. Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans as substandard, doubtful or loss. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and payment capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses of currently existing facts, conditions and values. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

When we classify problem loans as either substandard or doubtful, we may establish a specific allowance in an amount we deem prudent to address the risk specifically (if the loan is impaired) or we may allow the loss to be addressed in the general allowance (if the loan is not impaired). General allowances represent loss reserves which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been specifically allocated to particular problem loans. When the Company classifies problem loans as a loss, we charge-off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Assets that do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard, doubtful or loss, but possess identified weaknesses, are classified as either watch or special mention assets. Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our valuation allowances is subject to review by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), the Bank's federal regulator, and the Washington Department of Financial Institutions ("WDFI"), the Bank's state banking regulator, which can order the establishment of additional loss allowances. Pass rated loans are loans that are not otherwise classified or criticized.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans. Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are automatically placed on nonaccrual once the loan is 90 days past due or sooner if, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment of obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory authorities.

Nonperforming Loans. Loans are considered nonperforming when they are placed on nonaccrual and/or when they are considered to be nonperforming troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") and/or when they are 90 days or greater past due and still accruing interest. A TDR is a loan to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty that has been modified from its original terms and conditions in such a way that the Company has granted the borrower a concession of some kind. Nonperforming TDRs include TDRs that do not have sufficient payment history (typically greater than six months) to be considered performing or TDRs that have become 30 or more days past due.

Impaired Loans. A loan is considered impaired when we determine that we may be unable to collect payments of principal or interest when due under the terms of the loan. In the process of identifying loans as impaired, we take into consideration factors which include payment history and status, collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments in the future. Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically do not result in a loan being classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and shortfalls is considered on a case by case basis, after taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including payment history. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for all loans in the portfolio. All TDRs are also classified as impaired loans and are included in the loans individually evaluated for impairment in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses.

Impaired loans at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, by type of loan were as follows (in thousands):

Forgone interest on nonaccrual loans was $12,000 and $95,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were classified as nonaccrual or impaired at September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

Troubled debt restructurings. Loans classified as TDRs totaled $4.0 million and $3.4 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and are included in impaired loans. The Company has granted, in its TDRs, a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications. The modifications granted can generally be described in the following categories:

Rate Modification: A modification in which the interest rate is changed.

Term Modification: A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments or frequency of payments is changed.

Payment Modification: A modification in which the dollar amount of the payment is changed. Interest only modifications in which a loan is converted to interest only payments for a period of time are included in this category.

Combination Modification: Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple categories above.

There was one $1.3 million one- to four- family residential combination loan modified as a TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The following TDR loans paid off during the first nine months of 2017: a $125,000 one- to four- family residential loan, a $14,000 manufactured home loan, one $86,000 home equity loan, a $27,000 land loan, and a $359,000 commercial/multifamily loan. There were no new TDRs during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

There were no post-modification changes for the unpaid principal balance in loans, net of partial charge-offs, that were recorded as a result of the TDRs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. There were no TDRs for which there was a payment default within the first 12 months of modification during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.

The Company had no commitments to extend additional credit to borrowers owing receivables whose terms have been modified in TDRs. All TDRs are also classified as impaired loans and are included in the loans individually evaluated for impairment in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 nor between Level 2 and Level 3.

The following tables provide a description of the valuation technique, unobservable input, and qualitative information about the unobservable inputs for the Company's assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

September 30, 2017
Financial Instrument	Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input(s)	Range (Weighted-Average)
Mortgage Servicing Rights	Discounted cash flow	Prepayment speed assumption		109-412% (164%)
		Discount rate		13-15% (13%)

December 31, 2016
Financial Instrument	Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input(s)	Range (Weighted-Average)
Mortgage Servicing Rights	Discounted cash flow	Prepayment speed assumption		104-396% (152%)
		Discount rate		13%-15% (13%)
Non-agency mortgage-backed securities	Discounted cash flow	Discount rate		7%-9% (8%)

Generally, any significant increases in the constant prepayment rate and discount rate utilized in the fair value measurement of the mortgage servicing rights will result in a negative fair value adjustment (and decrease in the fair value measurement). Conversely, a decrease in the constant prepayment rate and discount rate will result in a positive fair value adjustment (and increase in the fair value measurement). An increase in the weighted average life assumptions will result in a decrease in the constant prepayment rate and conversely, a decrease in the weighted-average life will result in an increase of the constant prepayment rate.

The following table provides a reconciliation of assets and liabilities (excluding mortgage servicing rights) measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring basis during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

There were no liabilities carried at fair value, measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis, at September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

The following tables provide a description of the valuation technique, observable input, and qualitative information about the unobservable inputs for the Company's assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

September 30, 2017
Financial Instrument	Valuation Technique(s)	Unobservable Input(s)	Range (Weighted Average)
OREO	Market approach	Adjustment for differences between comparable sales		0-0% (0%)
Impaired loans	Market approach	Adjustment for differences between comparable sales		0-100% (10%)

December 31, 2016
Financial Instrument	Valuation Technique(s)	Unobservable Input(s)	Range (Weighted Average)
OREO	Market approach	Adjusted for difference between comparable sales		0-0% (0%)
Impaired loans	Market approach	Adjusted for difference between comparable sales		0-100% (11%)

A description of the valuation methodologies used for impaired loans and OREO is as follows:

Impaired Loans - The fair value of collateral dependent loans is based on the current appraised value of the collateral or internally developed models utilizing a calculation of expected discounted cash flows which contain management's assumptions.

OREO and Repossessed Assets – The fair value of OREO and repossessed assets is based on the current appraised value of the collateral.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents, and accrued interest receivable and payable - The estimated fair value is equal to the carrying amount.

AFS Securities – AFS securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, management utilizes third-party pricing services or broker quotations from dealers in the specific instruments. Level 2 securities include those traded on an active exchange, as well as U.S. government and its agencies securities. Level 3 securities include private label mortgage-backed securities.

Loans Held-for-Sale - Loans held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate residential loans is based on whole loan forward prices obtained from government sponsored enterprises. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, loans held-for-sale were carried at cost, as no impairment was required.

Loans - The estimated fair value for all fixed-rate loans is determined by discounting the estimated cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities. The estimated fair value for variable rate loans is the carrying amount. The fair value for all loans also takes into account projected loan losses as a part of the estimate.

Mortgage Servicing Rights –The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis, which uses interest rates, prepayment speeds, discount rates, and delinquency rate assumptions as inputs.

FHLB stock - The estimated fair value is equal to the par value of the stock, which approximates fair value.

Deposits - The estimated fair value of deposit accounts (savings, demand deposit, and money market accounts) is the carrying amount. The fair values of fixed-maturity time deposits are estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows using the current rate at which similar time deposits would be issued.

Borrowings - The fair value of borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments - The fair value of the off-balance sheet loan commitments are estimated based on fees charged to others to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and credit standing of the customers. The estimated fair value of these commitments is not significant.

We assume interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of our normal operations. As a result, the fair values of our financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change, which may be favorable or unfavorable to us. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent necessary or possible to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed-rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed-rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by establishing early withdrawal penalties for time deposits, creating interest rate floors for certain variable rate loans, adjusting terms of new loans and deposits, by borrowing at fixed-rates for fixed-terms and investing in securities with terms that mitigate our overall interest rate risk.

Note 6 – Mortgage Servicing Rights

The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, totaled $391.5 million and $410.1 million, respectively, and are not included in the Company's financial statements. We also service loans for other financial institutions for which a servicing fee is received. The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for other financial institutions at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, totaled $19.4 million and $13.8 million, respectively, and are not included in the Company's financial statements.

The key economic assumptions used in determining the fair value of mortgage servicing rights at the dates indicated are as follows:

	September 30, 2017			December 31, 2016
Prepayment speed (Public Securities Association "PSA" model)		164	%		152	%
Weighted-average life	7.0 years			7.2 years
Yield to maturity discount rate		13	%		13	%

The amounts of contractually specified servicing, late and ancillary fees earned and recorded, net of fair value market adjustments to the mortgage servicing rights, are included in mortgage servicing income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income which were $18,000 and $399,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $239,000 and $462,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

The gross amount of contractually specified servicing, late and ancillary fees earned and recorded in mortgage servicing income were $230,000 and $868,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $223,000 and $636,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers' requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit.

Note 8 – Borrowings and FHLB Stock

The Company utilizes a loan agreement with the FHLB of Des Moines. The terms of the agreement call for a blanket pledge of a portion of the Company's mortgage and commercial and multifamily loan portfolio based on the outstanding balance.

Note 9 – Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, reduced for average unallocated ESOP shares and average unvested restricted stock awards. Unvested share-based awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method described in ASC 260-10-45-60B. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (such as stock awards and options) were exercised or converted to common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the Company's earnings. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period increased for the dilutive effect of unexercised stock options and unvested restricted stock awards. The dilutive effect of the unexercised stock options and unvested restricted stock awards is calculated under the treasury stock method utilizing the average market value of the Company's stock for the period.

Earnings per share are summarized for the periods presented in the following table (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Net income	$	1,222	$	1,454	$	3,939	$	3,814
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding, basic		2,507		2,490		2,502		2,483

Weighted-average number of shares outstanding, diluted		2,562		2,568		2,563		2,557
Earnings per share, basic	$	0.49	$	0.58	$	1.57	$	1.54
Earnings per share, diluted	$	0.48	$	0.57	$	1.54	$	1.48

(1) Represents the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of non-participating restricted shares, based on the treasury stock method.

There were no anti-dilutive securities at either September 30, 2017 or September 30, 2016.

Note 10 – Stock-based Compensation

Stock Options and Restricted Stock

The Company currently has two existing Equity Incentive Plans, a 2008 Equity Inventive Plan (the "2008 Plan") and a 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan", and together with the 2008 Plan (the "Plans")), both of which were approved by shareholders. The Plans permit the grant of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, and stock appreciation rights. Under the 2008 Plan, 126,287 shares of common stock were approved for awards for stock options and stock appreciation rights and 50,514 shares of common stock were approved for awards for restricted stock and restricted stock units. Under the 2013 Plan, 141,750 shares of common stock were approved for awards for stock options and stock appreciation rights and 56,700 shares of common stock were approved for awards for restricted stock and restricted stock units.

As of September 30, 2017, on an adjusted basis, awards for stock options totaling 265,801 shares and awards for restricted stock totaling 107,214 shares of Company common stock have been granted, net of any forfeitures, to participants in the Plans. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, share-based compensation expense totaled $144,000 and $126,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, share-based compensation expense totaled $432,000 and $354,000, respectively.

Stock Option Awards

The stock option awards granted to date under the 2008 Plan vest in 20 percent annual increments commencing one year from the grant date in accordance with the requirements of the 2008 Plan. The stock option awards granted to date under the 2013 Plan vest in equal annual installments of either two or four years. All of the options granted under the Plans are exercisable for a period of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to vesting. The following is a summary of the Company's stock option award activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

	Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term In Years		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2017		170,057		$	15.41		6.44	$	2,141,018

Expected to vest, assuming a 0% forfeiture rate over the vesting term		67,560		$	21.05		7.56	$	874,983

As of September 30, 2017, there was $331,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the Plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.6 years.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of options granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of the grant date.

Annual dividend yield		1.28	%
Expected volatility		22.99	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.20	%
Expected term	6.50 years
Weighted-average grant date fair value per option granted	$	6.62

The fair value of options granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of the grant date.

Annual dividend yield		1.03	%
Expected volatility		25.48	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.64	%
Expected term	6.92 years
Weighted-average grant date fair value per option granted	$	5.78

Restricted Stock Awards

The fair value of the restricted stock awards is equal to the fair value of the Company's stock at the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period that the awards are based. The restricted stock awards granted to date under the 2008 Plan provide for vesting in 20% annual increments commencing one year from the grant date. The restricted stock awards granted to date under the 2013 Plan provide for immediate vesting of 33.33% of a recipient's award with the balance of an individual's award under the 2013 Plan vesting in two equal annual installments commencing one year from the grant date.

The following is a summary of the Company's restricted stock award activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

	Shares			Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share
Non-vested at January 1, 2017		26,138		$	18.08
Granted		576			28.34

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

In January 2008, the ESOP borrowed $1.2 million from the Company to purchase common stock of the Company. In August 2012, in conjunction with the Company's conversion to a full stock company from the mutual holding company structure, the ESOP borrowed an additional $1.1 million from the Company to purchase common stock of the Company. Both loans are being repaid by the Bank through contributions to the ESOP over a period of ten years. The interest rate on the loans is fixed at 4.00% and 2.25%, per annum, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, the remaining balances of the ESOP loans were $136,000 and $590,000, respectively.

Neither the loan balances nor the related interest expense are reflected on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

At September 30, 2017, the ESOP was committed to release 21,443 shares of the Company's common stock to participants and held 66,800 unallocated shares remaining to be released in future years. The fair value of the 178,124 restricted shares held by the ESOP trust was $6.1 million at September 30, 2017. ESOP compensation expense included in salaries and benefits was $172,000 and $510,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $155,000 and $426,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Note 12 – Subsequent Event

On October 26, 2017, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share, payable November 24, 2017 to shareholders of record at the close of business November 10, 2017.

General

Sound Financial Bancorp, a Maryland corporation, is a bank holding company for its wholly owned subsidiary, Sound Community Bank. Substantially all of Sound Financial Bancorp's business is conducted through Sound Community Bank, a Washington state-chartered commercial bank. As a Washington commercial bank, the Bank's regulators are the WDFI and the FDIC. The Federal Reserve is the primary federal regulator for Sound Financial Bancorp.

Sound Community Bank's deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC. At September 30, 2017, Sound Financial Bancorp had total consolidated assets of $622.5 million, net loans of $523.2 million, deposits of $524.8 million and stockholders' equity of $63.3 million. The shares of Sound Financial Bancorp are traded on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "SFBC." Our executive offices are located at 2400 3rd Avenue, Suite 150, Seattle, Washington, 98121.

Our principal business consists of attracting retail and commercial deposits from the general public and investing those funds, along with borrowed funds, in loans secured by first and second mortgages on one- to four- family residences (including home equity loans and lines of credit), commercial and multifamily real estate, construction and land, consumer and commercial business loans. Our commercial business loans include unsecured lines of credit and secured term loans and lines of credit secured by inventory, equipment and accounts receivable. We also offer a variety of secured and unsecured consumer loan products, including manufactured home loans, floating home loans, automobile loans, boat loans and recreational vehicle loans. As part of our business, we focus on residential mortgage loan originations, the majority of which we sell to Fannie Mae and a portion of which we retain for our loan portfolio consistent with our asset/liability objectives. We sell loans which conform to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae ("conforming") in which we retain the servicing of the loan in order to maintain the direct customer relationship and to generate noninterest income. Residential loans which do not conform to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae ("non-conforming"), are either held in our loan portfolio or sold with servicing released. We originate and retain a significant amount of commercial real estate loans, including those secured by owner-occupied and nonowner-occupied commercial real estate, multifamily property, mobile home parks and construction and land development loans.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our accounting policies are important to an understanding of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances that could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses, accounting for other-than-temporary impairment of securities, accounting for mortgage servicing rights, accounting for other real estate owned and accounting for deferred income taxes. Our methodologies for analyzing the allowance for loan losses, other-than-temporary impairment, mortgage servicing rights, other real estate owned and deferred tax asset accounts are described in our 2016 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in the Company's application of accounting policies since December 31, 2016.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016

General. Total assets increased $34.2 million, or 5.8%, to $622.5 million at September 30, 2017 from $588.4 million at December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily the result of a $28.0 million, or 5.7%, increase in net loans and a $6.1 million, or 11.2%, increase in cash and cash equivalents. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to a $57.1 million, or 12.2%, increase in deposits, which also funded the loan growth and a $26.8 million, or 48.9%, decrease in borrowings to $28.0 million at September 30, 2017 from $54.8 million at December 31, 2016.

Cash and Securities. Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.1 million, or 11.2%, to $60.7 million at September 30, 2017 from $54.6 million at December 31, 2016. Available-for-sale securities, which consist primarily of agency mortgage-backed securities, decreased $916,000, or 13.9%, to $5.7 million at September 30, 2017 from $6.6 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease in available-for-sale securities was the result of normal principal repayments on securities during the first nine months of 2017 in addition to the full redemption of a $318,000 non-agency mortgage-backed security in July 2017.

Loans. Our gross loan portfolio increased $28.2 million, or 5.6%, to $528.2 million at September 30, 2017 from $500.0 million at December 31, 2016.

The following table reflects the changes in our loan portfolio at September 30, 2017, as compared to December 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2017			December 31, 2016			Amount Change			Percent Change
One- to four- family	$	156,871		$	152,386		$	4,485			2.9	%
Home equity		29,129			27,771			1,358			4.9
Commercial and multifamily		201,411			181,004			20,407			11.3
Construction and land		54,921			70,915			(15,994	)		(22.6	)
Manufactured homes		16,864			15,494			1,370			8.8
Floating homes		26,699			23,996			2,703			11.3
Other consumer		5,032			3,932			1,100			28.0
Commercial business		39,158			26,331			12,827			48.7
Deferred loan fees		(1,877	)		(1,828	)		(49	)		2.7
Total loans, gross	$	528,208		$	500,001		$	28,207			5.6	%

The increase in our loan portfolio was primarily a result of positive economic conditions which contributed to strong demand for credit. The largest dollar increases in the loan portfolio were in the commercial and multifamily loans which increased $20.4 million, or 11.3%, to $201.4 million and commercial business loans which increased $12.8 million, or 48.7%, to $39.2 million. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in construction and land loans which decreased $16.0 million, or 22.6%, to $54.9 million. At September 30, 2017, our loan portfolio remained well-diversified. Commercial and multifamily real estate loans accounted for 38.1% of the portfolio, one- to four- family loans accounted for 35.1% of the portfolio and home equity, manufactured and floating homes, and other consumer loans accounted for 9.1% of the portfolio at September 30, 2017. Construction and land loans accounted for 10.3% of the portfolio and commercial business loans accounted for the remaining 7.4% of total loans at September 30, 2017.

Loans held-for-sale decreased $575,000, or 66.0%, to $296,000 at September 30, 2017 from $871,000 at December 31, 2016. The decrease in loans held-for-sale was a result of the robust local economy putting pressure on housing prices and home loans available for sale, which when combined with increasing interest rates, reduced refinancing activity. Originations of loans held-for-sale decreased to $34.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $57.8 million during the same period last year.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $3.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively, in mortgage servicing rights recorded at fair value. We record mortgage servicing rights on loans sold to Fannie Mae and other financial institutions with servicing retained and upon acquisition of a servicing portfolio. We stratify our capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the type, term and interest rates of the underlying loans. Mortgage servicing rights are carried at fair value. If the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights fluctuates significantly, our financial results could be materially impacted.

Nonperforming Assets. At September 30, 2017, nonperforming assets totaled $4.5 million, or 0.73% of total assets, which was relatively unchanged from December 31, 2016.

The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of nonperforming assets at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

	Nonperforming Assets
	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016		Amount Change			Percent Change
Nonaccrual loans	$	2,100	$	3,144	$	(1,044	)		(33.2	)%
Nonperforming TDRs		1,403		205		1,198			584.4
Total nonperforming loans		3,503		3,349		154			4.6
OREO and repossessed assets		1,032		1,172		(140	)		(11.9	)
Total nonperforming assets	$	4,535	$	4,521	$	14			0.3	%

Nonperforming loans, consisting of nonaccrual loans and nonperforming TDRs, increased to $3.5 million, or 0.66% of total loans, at September 30, 2017 compared to $3.3 million or 0.67% of total loans at December 31, 2016. Nonaccrual loans decreased and nonperforming TDRs increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to a $1.3 million nonaccrual one- to four- family, residential loan which was modified as a TDR during the period.

OREO and repossessed assets decreased $140,000, or 11.9%, to $1.0 million at September 30, 2017 from $1.2 million at December 31, 2016. This decrease was due to the sale of three one- to four- family residential properties totaling $238,000. During the third quarter of 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell one of our one- to four-family OREO properties for $117,000 less than the carrying amount of the property on our books. As a result, we recorded a loss on OREO of $117,000 during the quarter. In addition, we acquired a $215,000, one-to four- family OREO property located in Stanton, MI. At September 30, 2017, our largest OREO property was a commercial building with a recorded value of $600,000 located in Clallam County, Washington, which was acquired in 2015 as a part of three branches purchased from another financial institution. It is currently leased to a not-for-profit organization headquartered in our market area at a below market rate. Our remaining three OREO properties at September 30, 2017, consisted of the $207,000 one- to four- family property that is under contract to sell, a $215,000, one- to four- family property located in Stanton, MI, and a $10,000 manufactured home located in King County, Washington.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained to cover losses that are probable and can be estimated on the date of evaluation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is our best estimate of probable credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The following table reflects the adjustments in our allowance during the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Balance at beginning of period	$	4,835		$	4,838		$	4,822		$	4,636
Charge-offs		(97	)		(24	)		(134	)		(146	)
Recoveries		3			45			53			119
Net (charge-offs)/recoveries		(94	)		21			(81	)		(27	)
Provisions charged to operations		250			-			250			250
Balance at end of period	$	4,991		$	4,859		$	4,991		$	4,859

Ratio of net charge-offs/(recoveries) during the period to average loans outstanding during the period		0.02	%		0.00	%		0.02	%		0.01	%

	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Allowance as a percentage of nonperforming loans (end of period)		142.48%		143.98%
Allowance as a percentage of total loans (end of period)		0.94%		0.96%

Our allowance for loan losses increased $169,000, or 3.5%, to $5.0 million at September 30, 2017, from $4.8 million at December 31, 2016. The provision for loan losses totaled $250,000 for the first nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily as a result of the increase in the loan portfolio balances and higher net loan charge-offs as compared to December 31, 2016.

Specific loan loss reserves increased to $980,000 at September 30, 2017 compared to $863,000 at December 31, 2016, while general loan loss reserves decreased to $3.1 million at September 30, 2017, compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2016 and the unallocated reserve increased to $906,000 at September 30, 2017 compared to $712,000 at December 31, 2016. The increase in specific loan loss reserves was primarily due to the $2.0 million increase in impaired loans since December 31, 2016. There were 22 loans totaling $3.2 million (of which $2.1 million were one- to four- family residential loans) reported as impaired at September 30, 2017 which were not impaired at December 31, 2016, partially offset by nine loans totaling $1.0 million reported as impaired at December 31, 2016 which were not impaired at September 30, 2017. The nine previously impaired loans at December 31, 2016, that were no longer impaired at September 30, 2017, consisted of one, one- to four- family residential loan, one home equity loan, four manufactured home loans, one commercial business loan, one commercial real estate loan, and one construction/land loan. Three of these loans were charged-off during the first nine months of 2017 totaling $111,000, while six loans were paid in full totaling $909,000. The three largest impaired loans at September 30, 2017 were two one- to four- family residential loans totaling $2.6 million, including one for $1.3 million which became impaired due to its modification as a TDR in 2017, and one $755,000 loan secured by a commercial building, all located in King County, Washington. The decrease in the general reserve was a result of the changes in loan balances and historical loss rates. The overall increase in the allowance for loan losses was due to the increase in the gross loan portfolio from $500.0 million at December 31, 2016 to $528.2 million at September 30, 2017. Net charge-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $94,000 and $81,000, respectively, compared to recoveries of $21,000 and charge-offs of $27,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans receivable and as a percentage of nonperforming loans were 0.94% and 142.48%, respectively, compared to 0.96% and 143.98%, respectively, at December 31, 2016.

Deposits. Total deposits increased $57.1 million, or 12.2%, to $524.8 million at September 30, 2017 from $467.7 million at December 31, 2016, primarily as a result of an $41.4 million, or 17.0%, increase in interest-bearing demand accounts, a $12.3 million, or 13.1% increase in savings and money market accounts, and an $11.8 million, or 18.5%, increase in noninterest-bearing demand accounts. Deposits increased $14.5 million due to the purchase of the University Place branch and the acquisition of deposits, during the second quarter of 2017, with the remainder of the increase due to organic growth from our ongoing deposit gathering efforts to obtain low cost deposit accounts from retail and small business customers.

A summary of deposit accounts with the corresponding weighted-average cost of funds at the dates indicated is presented below (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2017					December 31, 2016
	Amount		Wtd. Avg. Rate			Amount		Wtd. Avg. Rate
Noninterest-bearing demand(1)	$	71,529		0.00	%	$	60,566		0.00	%

Total deposits	$	524,817		0.59	%	$	467,731		0.53	%

(1) Escrow balances shown in noninterest-bearing deposits on the consolidated balance sheets.

Borrowings. FHLB advances decreased $26.8 million, or 48.9%, to $28.0 million at September 30, 2017, with a weighted-average cost of 1.08%, from $54.8 million at December 31, 2016, with a weighted-average cost of 0.55%. FHLB borrowings declined utilizing the cash received from the University Place branch acquisition and organic deposit growth. The increase in the cost of the borrowings was a result of the general increase in rates over the last year. We rely on FHLB advances from time to time to supplement deposits to fund interest-earning asset growth.

Stockholders' Equity. Total stockholders' equity increased $3.1 million, or 5.1%, to $63.3 million at September 30, 2017 from $60.3 million at December 31, 2016. This increase primarily reflects $3.9 million in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, partially offset by the payment of cash dividends of $1.3 million to common stockholders.

Comparison of Results of Operation for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

General. Net income decreased $232,000 to $1.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $1.5 million, or $0.57 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The primary reason for the decrease in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2017, was a decline in noninterest income and increases in noninterest expense and the provision for loan losses, which was partially offset by an increase in net interest income. Net income increased $125,000 to $3.9 million, or $1.54 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $3.8 million, or $1.48 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2016. The primary reason for the increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was an increase in net interest income, which was partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $918,000, or 14.9%, to $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Interest income increased $1.8 million, or 10.0%, to $20.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increases in interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily reflect the increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, in particular loans receivable, and a higher weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets in the current three and nine month periods. The average balance of gross loans receivable increased $28.6 million, or 5.8%, and $32.7 million, or 7.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016.

Our weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets was 4.99% and 4.93% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 4.71% and 4.80% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The weighted-average yield on loans increased to 5.29% and 5.23% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, from 5.10% and 5.15% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The weighted-average yield on investments was 1.88% and 1.48% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 0.85% and 0.83% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The increase in the average yields for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 for all of the interest-earning assets was due to the increase in market interest rates over the past year and the increase in the average balance of loans receivable as a percentage of total average interest-earning assets.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $150,000, or 20.5%, to $880,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $730,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Interest expense on deposits increased $130,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to the increase in the average balance of deposits during the three months ended September 30, 2017 to $510.7 million as compared to $452.3 million for the same quarter in 2016. Our weighted-average cost of deposits was 0.63% and 0.60% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 0.59% and 0.60% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The total cost of borrowings increased $20,000, or 38.5%, to $72,000, during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 from $52,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 despite a $17.2 million decline in average outstanding borrowings during the period. The increase in interest expense on borrowings was the result of an increase in the overnight borrowing rates reflecting recent increases in the federal funds rate. Average borrowings, consisting of FHLB advances, decreased to $21.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to $36.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 due to the repayment of FHLB advances, discussed above. Interest expense increased $281,000, or 13.0%, to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in interest expense for the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, was primarily a result of an increase in the cost of borrowings during the period. Average borrowings outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $29.5 million compared to $32.8 million outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The cost of those borrowings was 1.08% during the nine months of 2017 compared to 0.55% for the first nine months of 2016. Our overall weighted-average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.77% and 0.73% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 0.69% and 0.68% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $768,000, or 14.2%, to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Net interest income increased $1.6 million, or 9.7%, to $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 resulted from increased interest income due to higher average loan balances and higher yields on our loan portfolio. Our average yield on loans receivable increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same periods last year as rates have increased compared to a year ago. Our net interest margin was 4.40% and 4.34% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 4.19% and 4.23% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to earnings, at a level required to reflect management's best estimate of the probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group data, prevailing economic conditions, and current factors. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as one- to four- family, small commercial and multifamily, home equity and consumer loans, are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors adjusted for current economic conditions and other relevant data. Loan's for which management has concerns about the borrowers' ability to repay, are evaluated individually, and specific loss allocations are provided for these loans when necessary.

The provision for loan losses was $250,000 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to no provision for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and a provision of $250,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in the provision for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same quarter in 2016 reflects the increase in the loan portfolio and higher net loan charge-offs. The gross loan portfolio increased to $528.2 million at September 30, 2017 from $477.1 million at September 30, 2016. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2017 totaled $94,000 compared to net recoveries of $21,000 for the same quarter in 2016. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $81,000 compared to net charge-offs of $27,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Nonperforming loans decreased to $3.5 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $4.9 million at September 30, 2016. Nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.66% at September 30, 2017 as compared to 1.02% at September 30, 2016. Impaired loans increased $2.0 million, or 24.0% to $10.2 million at September 30, 2017 as compared to $8.2 million at December 31, 2016 principally as a result of the addition of 22 loans totaling $3.2 million, which were partially offset by the reduction of nine loans totaling $1.0 million that were impaired at December 31, 2016 but were not impaired at September 30, 2017. The allowance for loan losses increased to $5.0 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $4.8 million at December 31, 2016.

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to 0.73% at September 30, 2017 from 1.02% at September 30, 2016. This decrease is the result of the reduction in our nonperforming assets principally due to the payoff of a $2.1 million multifamily loan.

While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the adjustment of reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $717,000, or 46.5%, to $826,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Amount			Percent
	2017		2016		Change			Change
Service charges and fee income	$	439	$	743	$	(304	)		(40.9	)%
Earnings on cash surrender value of BOLI		82		84		(2	)		(2.4	)
Mortgage servicing income		18		239		(221	)		(92.5	)
Net gain on sale of loans		287		477		(190	)		(39.8	)
Total noninterest income	$	826	$	1,543	$	(717	)		(46.5	)%

The decrease in noninterest income during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year was a result of a $304,000 decline in service charges and fee income, a $221,000 decline in mortgage servicing income and a $190,000 decline in the gain on sale of loans. The decrease in service charges and fee income included a decrease in overdraft fees, as well as loan fees. The decrease in loan fees was due to a decline in the amount of loan originations and lower volume as well as the deferral of additional loan fees compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease in the mortgage servicing income was due to the larger decline in the mortgage servicing loan balances relative to the improvement in the market value of the servicing rights over the last year. The decline in the gain on sale of loans was due to a lower volume of loans originated and sold on the secondary market. During the third quarter of 2017, we originated and sold $13.8 million of loans compared with $22.4 million during the third quarter of 2016.

Noninterest income decreased $924,000, or 24.8%, to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,				Amount			Percent
	2017		2016		Change			Change
Service charges and fee income	$	1,442	$	1,988	$	(546	)		(27.5	)%
Earnings on cash surrender value of BOLI		245		252		(7	)		(2.8	)
Mortgage servicing income		399		462		(63	)		(13.6	)
Net gain on sale of loans		720		1,028		(308	)		(30.0	)
Total noninterest income	$	2,806	$	3,730	$	(924	)		(24.8	)%

The primary reasons for the decrease in noninterest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year was the decline in service charges and fee income and net gain on sale of loans. The decreases in service charges and fee income and gain on sale of loans were for the same reasons as reported for the quarterly period above. During the first nine months of 2016, we originated and sold $58.5 million of loans compared with $35.8 million for the first nine months of 2017.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $186,000, or 3.9%, to $4.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $4.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Amount			Percent
	2017		2016		Change			Change
Salaries and benefits	$	2,777	$	2,632	$	145			5.5	%
Operations		1,002		1,181		(179	)		(15.2	)
Regulatory assessments		80		124		(44	)		(35.5	)
Occupancy		520		376		144			38.3
Data processing		448		434		14			3.2
Net loss on OREO and repossessed assets		109		3		106			3,533.3
Total noninterest expense	$	4,936	$	4,750	$	186			3.9	%

The increase in noninterest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits, occupancy, and OREO related expenses, partially offset by decreases in operations expense and regulatory assessments. Salaries and benefits expense increased $145,000, principally due to higher health insurance-related expenses. Occupancy expense rose in 2017 due to the relocation of the company headquarters to a new location and the costs associated with the acquisition of the University Place branch in July, 2017. Occupancy expenses are anticipated to be higher compared to 2016 due to the lease of the University Place branch and the purchase of the new loan production office in Sequim, WA, as well as amortization expenses resulting from purchases of fixed assets and tenant improvements for these three locations. During the third quarter of 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell one of our OREO properties located in East Islip, NY for $117,000 less than our book value. As a result, we recorded a loss on OREO of $117,000 during the third quarter of 2017. Operations expense decreased $179,000 as a result of a $65,000 reduction of expenses related to losses on serviced loans, a $55,000 reduction in professional fees, and a $41,000 decrease in debit card processing fees.

Noninterest expense increased $485,000, or 3.5%, to $14.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $13.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,				Amount			Percent
	2017		2016		Change			Change
Salaries and benefits	$	8,130	$	7,813	$	317			4.1	%
Operations		3,052		3,237		(185	)		(5.7	)
Regulatory assessments		340		404		(64	)		(15.8	)
Occupancy		1,415		1,141		274			24.0
Data processing		1,293		1,264		29			2.3
Net loss on OREO and repossessed assets		123		9		114			1,266.7
Total noninterest expense	$	14,353	$	13,868	$	485			3.5	%

The increase in noninterest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits, occupancy, and OREO related expenses, partially offset by decreases in operations expense and regulatory assessments. The increases for salaries and benefits, occupancy, and OREO and the related decrease in occupancy expense were due to the same reasons discussed above for the quarter.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was 70.39%, compared to 68.19% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and was 69.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 69.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in the efficiency ratio on a quarterly and on a year-to-date comparison was primarily due to higher noninterest expense and lower noninterest income.

Income Tax Expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred income tax expense of $604,000 and $2.0 million on our pre-tax income as compared to $757,000 and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were 33.1% and 33.7%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were 34.2% and 34.1%, respectively.

Liquidity

The Management Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company's 2016 Form 10-K contains an overview of Sound Financial Bancorp's and the Bank's liquidity management, sources of liquidity and cash flows. This discussion updates that disclosure for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and borrowings. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank's primary investing activity is loan originations. The Bank maintains liquidity levels it believes to be adequate to fund loan commitments, investment opportunities, deposit withdrawals and other financial commitments. At September 30, 2017, the Bank had $66.3 million in cash and investment securities available-for-sale and $296,000 in loans held-for-sale generally available for its cash needs. Also, at September 30, 2017, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $161.6 million in FHLB advances based on existing collateral pledged, and could access $34.8 million through the Federal Reserve's Discount Window. At September 30, 2017, we also had available a total of $21.0 million in credit facilities with other financial institutions, with no balance outstanding. The Bank uses these sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits and fund withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments. At September 30, 2017, outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines and letters of credit totaled $74.0 million, including $38.9 million of undisbursed construction and land loans. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2017, totaled $60.6 million. Based on our competitive pricing, we believe that a majority of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.1 million to $60.7 million as of September 30, 2017, from $54.6 million as of December 31, 2016. Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Net cash used by investing activities totaled $15.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and was principally used to fund loan growth of $28.5 million, net of principal repayments, which was partially offset by the $13.7 million in cash received from the University Place branch acquisition. The $15.8 million of cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily a result of a net increase in deposits of $43.4 million, partially offset by a $26.8 million decrease in FHLB advances.

As a separate legal entity from the Bank, the Company must provide for its own liquidity. At September 30, 2017, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $506,000 in cash, noninterest-bearing deposits and liquid investments generally available for its cash needs. The Company's principal source of liquidity is dividends and ESOP loan repayments from the Bank.

Except as set forth above, management is not aware of any trends, events, or uncertainties that will have, or that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers' requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

A summary of our off-balance sheet loan commitments at September 30, 2017, is as follows (in thousands):

	September 30, 2017
Residential mortgage commitments	$	4,404
Undisbursed portion of loans originated		38,850
Unused lines of credit		29,412
Irrevocable letters of credit		1,360
Total loan commitments	$	74,026

Capital

Sound Community Bank is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by regulations of the FDIC. Capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require Sound Community Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital.

Based on its capital levels at September 30, 2017, Sound Community Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements as of that date. Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for Sound Community Bank to maintain a "well-capitalized" status under the regulatory capital categories of the FDIC. Based on capital levels at September 30, 2017, Sound Community Bank was considered to be well-capitalized under applicable regulatory requirements. Management monitors the capital levels to provide for current and future business opportunities and to maintain Sound Community Bank's "well-capitalized" status.

The actual regulatory capital amounts and ratios calculated for Sound Community Bank at September 30, 2017, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Actual					Minimum For Capital Adequacy Purposes			To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio	Amount		Ratio
Tier 1 Capital to average assets	$	60,949		10.15	%	$	24,015	> 4.0%	$	30,018	> 5.0%
Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") risk-based capital ratio		60,949		11.94	%		22,976	> 4.5%		33,188	> 6.5%
Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets		60,949		11.94	%		30,635	> 6.0%		40,846	> 8.0%
Total Capital to risk-weighted assets		66,135		12.95	%		40,846	> 8.0%		51,058	> 10.0%

Pursuant to the capital regulations of the FDIC and the other federal banking agencies, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels of risk-based CET1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, repurchasing shares, and paying discretionary bonuses. For our fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, the capital conservation buffer rule requires a buffer of greater than 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, which amount will increase by 0.625% yearly until the requirement is fully phased-in on January 1, 2019, when the buffer must exceed 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. As September 30, 2017, the Bank's CET1 capital exceeded the required capital conservation buffer of 1.25%.

For a bank holding company with less than $1.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary banks to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If Sound Financial Bancorp was subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies with $1.0 billion or more in assets, at September 30, 2017 Sound Financial Bancorp would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The estimated regulatory capital ratios calculated for Sound Financial Bancorp as of September 30, 2017 were 10.34% for Tier 1 leverage-based capital, 12.15% for both Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital, Tier 1 Capital to risk-based assets and 13.16% for total risk-based capital.

Item 3.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")), as of September 30, 2017, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2017, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

We intend to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and to improve the Company's controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that we may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While we believe the present design of the disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve this goal, future events affecting our business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

(b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2017, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
