Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks LAKE SHORE BANCORP, INC. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 14, 2025: 36 risks under these headings, as written.3

  • Risks Related to Lending Activities
  • We have a substantial amount of commercial real estate and commercial business loans, and we intend to continue to increase our originations of these types of loans. These loans involve credit risks that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
  • We have a significant number of loans secured by real estate, and a downturn in the local real estate market could negatively impact our profitability.
  • Our non-residential, non-owner-occupied real estate loans may expose us to increased credit risk.
  • Our historical emphasis on residential mortgage loans exposes us to lending risks.
  • Deteriorating credit quality could adversely affect our earnings.
  • We have extended off-balance sheet commitments to borrowers which expose us to credit and interest rate risk.
  • Risks Related To Our Business
  • Low demand for real estate loans may lower our profitability.
  • We depend on our executive officers and key personnel to implement our business strategy and could be harmed by the loss of their services.
  • The results of our operations may be adversely affected by environmental conditions.
  • Our business strategy includes growth, and our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if we fail to grow or fail to manage our growth effectively. Growing our operations could also cause our expenses to increase faster than our revenues.
The other 26 risks
  • Acquisitions may disrupt our business and dilute stockholder value.
  • Competition in our primary market area may reduce our ability to attract and retain deposits and originate loans.
  • Our asset size may make it more difficult for us to compete.
  • Risks Related to Interest Rates and Liquidity
  • Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
  • We are subject to certain risks with respect to liquidity.
  • Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as bank failures or concerns involving liquidity, may have a material effect on our operations.
  • Risks Related to Economic Conditions
  • High inflation levels could adversely impact our business and results of operations.
  • Changes in the Federal Reserve Board’s monetary or fiscal policies could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
  • Risks Related to Operations
  • We face significant operational risks because of our reliance on technology. Our information technology systems may be subject to failure, interruption or security breaches.
  • We rely on third party vendors, which could expose us to and have exposed us to additional cybersecurity risks.
  • We continually encounter technological change.
  • We may be subject to risks and losses resulting from fraudulent activities that could adversely impact our financial performance and results of operations.
  • Risks Related To Laws and Regulations
  • Changes in laws and regulations and the cost of regulatory compliance with new laws and regulations may adversely affect our operations and/or increase our costs of operations.
  • Non-compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act, Bank Secrecy Act and related regulations may subject us to fines or sanctions.
  • Our ability to pay dividends is subject to the ability of Lake Shore Savings to make capital distributions to Lake Shore Bancorp and the waiver of dividends by Lake Shore, MHC.
  • We are subject to the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) and fair lending laws, and failure to comply with these laws could lead to material penalties.
  • We may be required to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed, or it may only be available on unacceptable terms, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
  • The Federal Reserve Board may require us to commit capital resources to support Lake Shore Savings Bank, and we may not have sufficient access to such capital resources.
  • We qualify as a smaller reporting company, and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies could make our common stock less attractive to investors.
  • Other Risks Related to Our Business
  • We are a community bank and our ability to maintain our reputation, which is critical to the success of our business, may materially adversely affect our performance.
  • Legal and regulatory proceedings and related matters could adversely affect us.
  • Severe weather, acts of terrorism, geopolitical and other external events could impact our ability to conduct business.
  • Risks Related to Investment in the Company’s Stock
  • We expect that our return on equity will be low compared to other financial institutions as a result of our high level of capital.
  • If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and, as a result, stockholders and depositors could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could adversely affect our business, the trading price of our stock and our ability to attract additional deposits.
  • Public stockholders do not exercise voting control over us.
  • Our stock price may be volatile due to limited trading volume.

Legal proceedings

At December 31, 2024, we are not involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. We believe that these routine legal proceedings, in the aggregate, are immaterial to our financial condition and results of operations.
