NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Critical Accounting Policies

Nature of business - First Northwest Bancorp, a Washington corporation (the "Company"), was formed in connection with the conversion of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles ("First Federal" or "the Bank") from the mutual to the stock form of organization. The conversion and the Company's initial stock offering were completed January 29, 2015 , through the sale and issuance of 12,167,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $10.00 per share in a subscription offering. An additional 933,360 shares of Company common stock and $400,000 in cash were contributed to the First Federal Community Foundation ("Foundation"), a charitable foundation that was established in connection with the conversion, resulting in the issuance of a total of 13,100,360 shares. The Company's business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in First Federal. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including the consolidated unaudited financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank.

The Bank provides commercial and consumer banking services to individuals and businesses located primarily on the Olympic Peninsula in the state of Washington. These services include deposit and lending transactions that are supplemented with other borrowing and investing activities.

Basis of presentation - The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our June 30, 2014 audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as filed with the SEC. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended June 30, 2015 . In preparing the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to a determination of the allowance for loan losses (ALLL), mortgage servicing rights, fair value of financial instruments, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation of impaired loans and real estate owned and repossessed assets. Earnings per share and share calculations prior to March 31, 2015 are not meaningful as the Company completed its stock conversion and became a public company on January 29, 2015 .

The conversion has been accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and equity unchanged as a result.

Plan of conversion and change in corporate form - On January 29, 2015 , in accordance with a Plan of Conversion (Plan) adopted by its Board of Directors and as approved by its members, the Bank converted from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank and became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve").

Deferred conversion costs of $4.1 million were deducted from the proceeds of the shares sold in the offering during the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. The net proceeds of the issuance of capital stock were $117.6 million . From the net proceeds, the Company made a capital contribution of $58.4 million to the Bank and $400,000 cash contribution to the Foundation. The Bank intends to use this additional capital for future lending and investment activities and for general and other corporate purposes subject to regulatory limitations.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) which intends to purchase in the open market 8% of the common stock for a total of 1,048,029 shares. As of March 31, 2015 , 898,699 shares, or 85.8% of the total, have been purchased.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Critical Accounting Policies (continued)

At the time of conversion, the Bank established a liquidation account in an amount equal to its total net worth, approximately $79.7 million , as of June 30, 2014 , the latest statement of financial condition appearing in the Company's prospectus. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible depositors have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible depositor will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held. The liquidation account balance is not available for payment of dividends, and the Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.

Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles, its wholly owned subsidiary, North Olympic Peninsula Services, Inc., and majority-owned Craft3 Development IV, LLC. North Olympic Peninsula Services, Inc. owns a building currently rented in whole to First Federal. Craft3 is a partnership investment which offers loans qualifying under the New Markets Tax Credit rules. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Subsequent Events - The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure and determined there are no such events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements - In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-01, Income Statement--Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20) . The ASU eliminates the need to separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events. The disclosure of events or transactions that are unusual or infrequent in nature will be included in other guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-2, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . The ASU reduces the number of consolidation models and eliminating specialized guidance for some industries. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-2 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2014 unaudited interim consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2015 presentation with no effect on net income or equity.

The Company may hold certain investment securities in an unrealized loss position that are not considered other than temporarily impaired (OTTI). At March 31, 2015 , there were 31 investment securities with $902,000 of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $73.9 million . At June 30, 2014 , there were 23 investment securities with $1.0 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $72.9 million .

The unrealized losses on investments in debt securities relate principally to the general change in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, that has occurred since the securities’ purchase dates, and such unrecognized losses or gains will continue to vary with general interest rate level fluctuations in the future. As management does not intend to sell the securities, and it is not likely they will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

The unrealized losses on investment and mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate changes. Certain investments in a loss position are guaranteed by government entities or government sponsored entities. It is expected that securities in a loss position would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and the Company does not intend to sell the securities and believes it is not likely it will be required to sell these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other than temporarily impaired.

There were no OTTI losses during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014 .

Note 3 - Loans Receivable (continued)

A loan is considered impaired when First Federal has determined that it may be unable to collect payments of principal or interest when due under the contractual terms of the loan. In the process of identifying loans as impaired, management takes into consideration factors that include payment history and status, collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments in the future. Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically do not result in a loan being classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and shortfalls is considered by management on a case-by-case basis after taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loans and the borrowers, including payment history and amounts of any payment shortfall, length and reason for delay, and likelihood of return to stable performance. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for all loans in the portfolio except smaller balance homogeneous loans and certain qualifying TDR loans.

The following table presents a summary of loans individually evaluated for impairment by portfolio segment at the dates indicated:

Credit quality indicator - Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities, as substandard, doubtful, or loss. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and pay capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that First Federal will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

When First Federal classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish a specific allowance to address the risk specifically or First Federal may allow the loss to be addressed in the general allowance. General allowances represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities but that, unlike specific allowances, have not been specifically allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as a loss, it is required to charge off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Assets that do not currently expose First Federal to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but possess identified weaknesses are designated as either watch or special mention assets. At March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 , First Federal had $10.0 million and $13.9 million , respectively, of loans classified as substandard and no loans classified as doubtful or loss. Loans not otherwise classified are considered pass graded loans.

Additionally, First Federal categorizes loans as performing or nonperforming based on payment activity. Loans that are more than 90 days past due and nonaccrual loans are considered nonperforming.

Note 3 - Loans Receivable (continued)

Troubled debt restructuring (TDR) - A TDR is a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty that has been modified from its original terms and conditions in such a way that First Federal is granting the borrower a concession of some kind. First Federal has granted a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications. The modifications granted can generally be described in the following categories:

Rate modification - A modification in which the interest rate is changed.

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

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

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

Upon identifying a receivable as a troubled debt restructuring, First Federal classifies the loan as impaired for purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses. This requires the loan to be evaluated individually for impairment, generally based on the expected cash flows under the new terms discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rates. For TDR loans that subsequently default, the method of determining impairment is generally the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs.

The following is a summary of information pertaining to TDR loans included in impaired loans at the dates indicated:

TDR loans may be upgraded in their classification and placed on accrual status once there is a sustained period of repayment performance, usually six months or longer, and there is a reasonable assurance that repayment will continue. First Federal allows reclassification of a troubled debt restructuring back into the general loan pool (as a non-troubled debt restructuring) if the borrower is able to refinance the loan at then-current market rates and meet all of the underwriting criteria of First Federal required of other borrowers. The refinance must be based on the borrower’s ability to repay the debt and no special concessions of rate and/or term are granted to the borrower.

Note 5 - Federal Taxes on Income

As a result of the bad debt deductions taken in years prior to 1988, retained earnings include accumulated earnings of approximately $6.4 million , on which federal income taxes have not been provided. If, in the future, this portion of retained earnings is used for any purpose other than to absorb losses on loans or on property acquired through foreclosure, federal income taxes may be imposed at the then-prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not contemplate that such amounts will be used for any purpose that would create a federal income tax liability; therefore, no provision has been made.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. These calculations are based on many complex factors including estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal income tax laws, and a determination of the differences between the tax and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 , the Company contributed $400,000 in cash and $9.3 million in common stock to the Foundation. Under current Federal income tax regulations, charitable contribution deductions are limited to 10% of taxable income. Accordingly, the $9.7 million contribution created a carryforward for income tax purposes with a deferred tax asset of $3.3 million and related valuation allowance of $1.9 million for financial statement reporting purposes. The contribution carryforward and related valuation allowance will expire in 2020. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates whether its deferred tax assets will be realized and adjusts the amount of its valuation allowance, if necessary. There was a valuation allowance of $1.9 million at March 31, 2015 , and no valuation allowance at June 30, 2014 .

First Federal began participating in the New Markets Tax Credit program for low-income communities in its fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, and continues to do so. First Federal will receive tax credits of approximately $1.9 million over seven years. Tax benefits related to these credits will be recognized for financial reporting purposes in different periods than the credits are recognized in First Federal’s income tax returns due to a yearly tax basis reduction resulting in a gain for income tax purposes at the end of the tax credit period. The financial reporting tax credit will total approximately $1.3 million over the seven-year period, representing the available tax credit of $1.9 million less the reduction of the tax gain of $655,000 calculated at First Federal’s current tax rate of 34% .

First Federal complied with the various regulatory provisions of the New Markets Tax Credit program and, therefore, will earn approximately $296,000 of credits that will be claimed on the Company's current-year tax return. Additionally, as of March 31, 2015 , there were tax credit carryforwards of $467,000 that begin to expire in 2021.

The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 740 that require the application of a more-likely-than-not recognition criterion for the reporting of uncertain tax positions on its financial statements. The Company had no unrecognized tax assets at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 . During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended June 30, 2014 , the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company recognizes interest and penalties in income tax expense. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending before June 30, 2011 .

Note 6 - Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same amount at March 31, 2015 as the Company does not have any additional potential dilutive common shares.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to compute basic and diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 .

As of March 31, 2015 , the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) purchased 898,699 shares in the open market. For earnings per share calculations, the ESOP shares are included as outstanding shares. As of March 31, 2015 , no shares have been allocated to employees through the ESOP.

Note 7 - Employee Benefits

In connection with the mutual to stock conversion, the Company established an ESOP for eligible employees of the Company and the Bank. Employees of the Company and the Bank who have been credited with at least 1000 hours of service during a 12 -month period are eligible to participate in the ESOP.

Pursuant to the Plan, the ESOP intends to purchase in the open market 8% of the common stock for a total of 1,048,029 shares. As of March 31, 2015 , 898,699 shares, or 85.8% of the total, have been purchased in the open market at an average price of $ 12.38 per share with funds borrowed from the Company. It is anticipated that the Bank will make contributions to the ESOP in amounts necessary to amortize the ESOP loan payable to the Company over a period of 20 years, bearing estimated interest at 2.42% .

Shares purchased by the ESOP with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account and allocated to ESOP participants on a pro rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank's discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on the ESOP assets. Payments of principal and interest are due annually on June 30 . No payment of principal or interest was made during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 .

Note 7 - Employee Benefits (continued)

As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the average daily market prices of the shares and the shares become outstanding for EPS computations. The compensation expense is accrued monthly throughout the year. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest.

Compensation expense related to the ESOP for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was $162,000 .

Note 8 - Fair Value Accounting and Measurement

Fair value is the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the Company’s principal market. The Company has established and documented its process for determining the fair values of its assets and liabilities, where applicable. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available, for identical or similar assets or liabilities. In the absence of quoted market prices, management determines the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities using valuation models or third-party pricing services, both of which rely on market-based parameters when available, such as interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and credit spreads, or unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs may be based on management’s judgment, assumptions, and estimates related to credit quality, liquidity, interest rates, and other relevant inputs.

Any changes to valuation methodologies are reviewed by management to ensure they are relevant and justified. Valuation methodologies are refined as more market-based data becomes available.

A three-level valuation hierarchy is used in determining fair value that is based on the transparency of the inputs used in the valuation process. The inputs used in determining fair value in each of the three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Either: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; (ii) observable inputs, such as interest rates or yield curves; or (iii) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs.

35

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 8 - Fair Value Accounting and Measurement (continued)

The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to Level 1 inputs and the lowest ranking to Level 3 inputs. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques - Securities available for sale: where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified as Level 1. Level 1 instruments include highly liquid government bonds, securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, and exchange-traded equity securities.

If quoted prices are not available, management determines fair value using pricing models, quoted prices of similar securities, which are considered Level 2, or discounted cash flows. In certain cases, where there is limited activity in the market for a particular instrument, assumptions must be made to determine their fair value. Such instruments are classified as Level 3.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis - Assets and liabilities are considered to be fair valued on a recurring basis if fair value is measured regularly (i.e., daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly). The following tables show the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates indicated:

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis - Assets are considered to be fair valued on a nonrecurring basis if the fair value measurement of the instrument does not necessarily result in a change in the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Generally, nonrecurring valuation is the result of the application of other accounting pronouncements that require assets or liabilities to be assessed for impairment or recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 8 - Fair Value Accounting and Measurement (continued)

Financial assets and liabilities other than investment securities are not traded in active markets. Estimated fair values require subjective judgments and are approximate. The estimates of fair value in the previous table are not necessarily representative of amounts that could be realized in actual market transactions, or of the underlying value of the Company. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and cash equivalents - For short-term instruments, including cash and due from banks, and interest bearing deposits with banks, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities - Fair values for investment securities are primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. The pricing service uses evaluated pricing models based on market data. In the event that limited or less transparent information is provided by the third-party pricing service, fair value is estimated using secondary pricing services or non-binding third-party broker quotes.

Loans held for sale - For loans held for sale, carrying value approximates fair value.

Loans receivable, net - Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, including fixed and variable one to four family residential real estate, commercial, and consumer loans. There is an accurate and reliable secondary market for one to four family residential mortgage production, and available market benchmarks are used to establish discount factors for estimating fair value for these types of loans. Commercial and consumer loans use market benchmarks when available; however, due to the varied term structures and credit issues involved, they mainly rely on cash flow projections and repricing characteristics within the loan portfolio. These amounts are discounted further by embedded probable losses expected to be realized in the portfolio.

Valuations of impaired loans, real estate owned and repossessed assets are periodically performed by management, and the fair values of these loans are carried at the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell. Fair value of the underlying collateral may be determined using an appraisal performed by a qualified independent appraiser.

FHLB stock - For FHLB stock, carrying value approximates fair value.

Mortgage servicing rights - The estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.

Bank-owned life insurance assets - Fair values of insurance policies owned are based on the insurance contract cash surrender value.

Deposits - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing deposits, savings and interest checking accounts, and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 . The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings - The fair value of FHLB advances and other borrowings are calculated using a discounted cash flow method, adjusted for market interest rates and terms to maturity.

Off-balance-sheet financial instruments - Commitments to extend credit represent all off-balance-sheet financial instruments. The fair value of these commitments is not significant.

• changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area, that are worse than expected;

• the credit risks of our lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses that may be impacted by deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets;

• fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes, land and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market area;

• decreases in the secondary market demand for loans that we originate for sale;

• management’s assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;

• our ability to control operating costs and expenses, especially new costs associated with our operation as a public company;

• whether our management team can implement our operational strategy;

• our success in opening new branches:

• increases in premiums for deposit insurance;

• the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation;

• changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long-term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources;

• increased competitive pressures among financial services companies;

• our ability to attract and retain deposits;

41

• changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

• our ability to successfully manage our growth;

• results of examinations of us by the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, Department of Banks (DFI), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, or other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings;

• legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business, including the effects of the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III, changes in regulatory policies and principles, or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules;

• adverse changes in the securities markets;

• changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institutions regulatory agencies, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board or the Financial Accounting Standards Board;

• costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments;

• inability of key third-party vendors to perform their obligations to us; and

• other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services and other risks described elsewhere in this prospectus.

Any of the forward‑looking statements that we make in this report and in other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong because of inaccurate assumptions we might make, because of the factors illustrated above or because of other factors that we cannot foresee. Any of the forward-looking statements are based upon management's beliefs and assumptions at the time they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements included in this report or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements discussed in this report might not occur and you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

General

First Federal is a community-oriented financial institution primarily serving the North Olympic Peninsula region of Washington through our nine full-service banking offices. We offer a wide range of products and services focused on the lending and depository needs of the communities we serve. Historically, lending activities have been primarily directed toward the origination of first lien one- to four-family mortgage loans, and, to a lesser extent, commercial and multi-family real estate loans, construction and land loans (including lot loans), commercial business loans, and consumer loans, consisting primarily of home equity loans and lines of credit. During the past decade, recognizing our need to adapt to changing market conditions, we have revised our operating strategy to diversify our loan portfolio, expand our deposit product offerings and enhance our infrastructure. We have increased the origination of commercial real estate and multi-family real estate loans, and decreased reliance on originating and retaining longer-term, fixed-rate, residential mortgage loans. Since 2010, we have generally sold most newly originated and refinanced, conforming single-family owner-occupied mortgage loans into the secondary market, although in 2012, we began selectively retaining 30-year fixed-rate mortgages in the portfolio in an effort to enhance our net interest income. We have historically offered traditional consumer and business deposit products, including transaction accounts, savings and money market accounts and certificates of deposit for individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations. Deposits are our primary source of funds for our lending and investing activities.

As part of our planned expansion into new markets, we have secured a lease agreement for a full-service branch located in Bellingham, Washington, which has been approved by the FDIC and DFI. The lease term will be for approximately 20 years with rent payments beginning at $7,500 per month at the time of branch opening, which is estimated to be during the quarter-ended December 2015. The proposed new branch will offer similar deposit, lending, and investment products and services and will utilize technology in the form of interactive teller machines similar to the Silverdale, Washington full-service branch location we opened in June 2014.

On January 29, 2015 , the Bank completed its mutual-to-stock conversion and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company raised approximately $117.6 million in net proceeds from the sale of 12,167,000 common shares in its initial public offering. From the proceeds the Company made a capital contribution of approximately $58.4 million to the Bank. The Company's stock trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol "FNWB."

Common shares available in the initial stock offering were oversubscribed by eligible depositors in the first priority. As a result, the ESOP, being in the second priority eligible to purchase stock in the initial stock offering, is filling its order of 8% of the common stock, or 1,048,029 shares, in the open market. As of March 31, 2015 , the ESOP had purchased 898,699 , or 85.8% , of the total shares to be purchased at an average net price per share of $12.38 .

First Federal is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, available alternative investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles.

Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest that we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services, including service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage banking income, earnings from bank-owned life insurance, and gains and losses from sales of securities.

An offset to net interest income is the provision for loan losses, which represents the periodic charge to operations which is required to adequately provide for probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. As a loan's risk rating improves, property values increase, or recoveries of amounts previously charged off are received, a recapture of previously recognized provision for loan losses may be added to net interest income.

The noninterest expenses we incur in operating our business consist of salaries and employee benefits and expenses, occupancy and equipment expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments, data processing expenses, expenses related to real estate and personal property owned and other miscellaneous expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits consist primarily of salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for health insurance, retirement plans and other employee benefits, including employee compensation expenses stemming from recognition of expense related to the ESOP and the adoption of new equity benefit plans. We cannot determine the actual amount of these new stock-related compensation and benefit expenses at this time because applicable accounting practices require that they be based on the fair market value of the shares of common stock at specific points in the future.

Our contribution of $400,000 in cash and $9.3 million in common stock to the First Federal Community Foundation ("Foundation") established in connection with our conversion resulted in a pre-tax, noninterest expense charge of $9.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 , and primarily caused our net loss during the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2015. The contribution to the Foundation, on a net-tax basis, was $8.3 million .

Beginning in fiscal year 2009 and continuing through much of fiscal year 2012, housing markets deteriorated in many of our market areas and we experienced significantly higher levels of delinquencies and nonperforming assets, primarily in our residential related loan portfolios. During this period, home sales activity was exceptionally slow and property values generally declined. As the effects of the recent recession became more evident and the pace of the recovery remained slow, our borrowers' ability to service their debt became more difficult, which was reflected in our increased nonperforming asset totals. As a result, during these periods our provision for loan losses was significantly higher than historical levels. This higher than normal level of delinquencies and nonaccruals also had a material adverse effect on operating income as a result of foregone interest revenues, increased loan collection costs and carrying costs, loan charge-offs and valuation adjustments for real estate owned. Beginning in fiscal 2013, home sales activity and real estate values began to modestly improve along with general economic conditions, resulting in materially lower loan charge-offs and write-downs of real estate owned. As a result, during the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and continuing during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , our provision for loan losses and our real estate owned and impairment expense decreased significantly compared to prior comparable periods.

Critical Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in First Northwest Bancorp’s Prospectus dated November 12, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Securities Act Rule 424(b)(3) on November 25, 2014.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014

Assets . Total assets increased $141.5 million , or 17.8% , to $936.8 million at March 31, 2015 , from $795.3 million at June 30, 2014 , primarily due to an increase of $121.3 million , or 52.2% , in total investment securities to $353.5 million at March 31, 2015 , as a result of deploying $117.6 million received from the Company's stock offering. Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased $3.0 million , or 0.6% , to $493.2 million at March 31, 2015 , from $496.2 million at June 30, 2014 .

Gross loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased $4.6 million , or 0.9% , to $499.3 million at March 31, 2015 , from $503.8 million at June 30, 2014 . The portfolio decline was primarily the result of a reduction in commercial loans. Multi-family real estate loans declined during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 by $8.1 million , or 18.0% , to $37.0 million at March 31, 2015 from $45.1 million at June 30, 2014 , primarily a result of $13.3 million of purchased loans serviced by others th at paid off prior to maturity. We continue to reduce our reliance on purchased commercial and multi-family real estate loans and focus on organic growth in these portfolios of loans; however, we may from time to time evaluate loan purchases to supplement our loan growth and improve earnings . Commercial real estate loans increased $221,000 , or 0.2% , to $128.2 million at March 31, 2015 from $128.0 million at June 30, 2014 . Commercial business loans decreased $2.9 million , or 16.6% , to $14.6 million at March 31, 2015 , from $17.5 million at June 30, 2014 . Construction and land loans also decreased $6.6 million , or 32.0% , to $13.9 million at March 31, 2015. Partially offsetting these declines during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 were an increase in one- to four-family residential loans of $18.0 million , or 7.4% , and a $221,000 , or 0.2% increase in commercial real estate loans.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , the Company originated $72.8 million of loans, of which $54.6 million , or 75.0% , were originated in the North Olympic Peninsula, $16.0 million , or 22.0% , in the Puget Sound region of Washington, and $2.2 million , or 3.0% , in other areas in Washington. In addition to loans originated during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , the Company purchased two pools of one- to four-family residential loans totaling $25.6 million located in the Puget Sound region of Washington.

Our allowance for loan losses declined $648,000 , or 8.0% , from $8.1 million at June 30, 2014 to $7.4 million at March 31, 2015 , and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans declined 0.1% from 1.6% at June 30, 2014 , to 1.5% at March 31, 2015 . The allowance remained relatively stable as the result of improving asset quality and decreases in nonperforming and classified loans during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 .

Nonperforming loans decreased $1.5 million , or 25.0% , to $4.5 million at March 31, 2015 , from $6.0 million at June 30, 2014 . During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , nonperforming commercial real estate loans decreased $1.7 million , and nonperforming home equity loans decreased $118,000 , partially offset by increases of $181,000 in commercial business loans, $104,000 in construction and land loans, and $58,000 in other consumer loans. Nonperforming loans to total loans declined from 1.2% at June 30, 2014 to 0.9% at March 31, 2015 . Real estate owned and repossessed assets increased $1.0 million to $1.8 million at March 31, 2015 , from $810,000 at June 30, 2014 . The decrease in nonperforming commercial real estate loans and increase in real estate owned and repossessed assets was primarily the result of the transfer of a $1.4 million commercial real estate loan secured by a commercial real estate property located in Spokane Valley, Washington that was transferred to real estate owned during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 . Our allowance for loan losses was $7.4 million and $8.1 million , or 1.5% and 1.6% of gross loans receivable, at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 , respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased 22.1% from 135.3% at June 30, 2014 to 165.2% at March 31, 2015 .

At March 31, 2015 , there were $8.4 million in restructured loans, of which $6.4 million were performing in accordance with their modified payment terms and returned to accrual status. Classified loans decreased by $3.9 million , or 28.1% , to $10.0 million at March 31, 2015 , from $13.9 million at June 30, 2014 .

Loans 30 days or more past due increased $1.4 million , or 50.0% , to $4.2 million at March 31, 2015 , from $2.8 million at June 30, 2014 , primarily due to select one- to four-family residential mortgages that pay one month behind their due date and become 30-59 days past due during months with 31 days.

At March 31, 2015 , total investment securities increased $121.3 million , or 52.2% , to $353.5 million at March 31, 2015 , from $232.2 million at June 30, 2014 , primarily as a result of the deployment of cash received from the Company's initial stock offering into earning assets. Mortgage-backed securities represent the largest portion of our investment securities portfolio and totaled $229.3 million at March 31, 2015 , an increase of $60.6 million , or 35.9% , from $168.7 million at June 30, 2014 . Other investment securities, including municipal bonds, were $124.2 million at March 31, 2015 , an increase of $60.7 million , or 95.6% from $63.5 million at June 30, 2014 . From the net proceeds received from our stock offering and additional available cash on hand, we purchased $118.7 million of investment securities consisting of a combination of fixed rate securities of $88.8 million, or 74.8%, and adjustable rate securities of $29.9 million, or 25.2%. Of the fixed rate securities, $10.2 million consisted of laddered maturity U.S. Treasury notes which will mature in approximate $500,000 increments starting in September 2015 and each of the six months thereafter through February 2025. Other fixed rate securities consist of $5.0 million Agency bond securities, $59.2 million of U.S. government agency issued mortgage-backed securities (Agency MBS), $10.0

46

million of Small Business Association (SBA) securities, and one corporate issued mortgage-backed security (Corporate MBS) of $4.4 million. Adjustable rate securities consisted of $14.8 million corporate asset-backed securities (Corporate ABS), $4.5 million of Corporate MBS, and $10.6 million Agency MBS. Investment securities and mortgage-backed securities purchased fall within the policy types and dollar limits as set by First Federal's investment policy. Corporate MBS and Corporate ABS require additional monitoring by the Bank for credit quality and risk-weighting on at least a quarterly basis. The duration of the total investment securities portfolio decreased 0.4 years, or 8.5%, to 4.3 years at March 31, 2015 from 4.7 years at June 30, 2014.

Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $30.8 million , or 4.3% , to $745.1 million at March 31, 2015 , from $714.3 million at June 30, 2014 . This increase was primarily the result of deposit account balances increasing $44.3 million , or 7.4% , to $644.7 million at March 31, 2015 , from $600.4 million at June 30, 2014 . Transaction, savings, and money market account deposits increased $31.5 million , or 6.7% , to $498.2 million at March 31, 2015 from $466.7 million at June 30, 2014 , while certificates of deposit increased $12.8 million , or 9.6% , during this period. Increases in deposits were primarily the result of targeted promotional efforts on money market and certificates of deposits in new and existing market areas.

Borrowings consisting primarily of long term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, decreased $15.1 million , or 14.4% , from $105.1 million at June 30, 2014 to $90.0 million at March 31, 2015 , as Federal Home Loan Bank cash management advances were repaid. Total borrowings at March 31, 2015 consisted primarily of long term advances from the FHLB.

Equity . Total equity increased $110.7 million , or 136.6% , to $191.6 million at March 31, 2015 , from $81.0 million at June 30, 2014 . The increase was a result of an increase to capital from the initial stock offering of $126.9 million , partially offset by a $5.8 million net loss and $11.0 million of unearned ESOP shares purchased in the open market during the nine months ended March 31, 2015.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

General. The Company recorded a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $7.6 million compared to net income of $459,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 , a decrease of $8.0 million , or 1,751.2% . The net loss was primarily the result of the funding of the Foundation. On a net tax basis, the contribution to the Foundation was $8.3 million .

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $147,000 to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 , from $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 . The increase was the result of an increase in interest income coupled with a decrease in interest expense.

The net interest margin decreased 42 basis points to 2.54% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 , from 2.96% for the same period in 2014 . The net interest margin declined for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to last year due primarily to cash subscriptions received for the stock offering that was initially invested at nominal interest rates and subsequently deployed into the investment portfolio at lower average yields compared to the loan portfolio. The average balance of cash and cash equivalents increased $94.1 million from $24.7 million at March 31, 2014 to $118.8 million at March 31, 2015 . Of the $147,000 increase in net interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 , $530,000 was the result of an increase in volume partially offset by a $383,000 decline from the changes in rates. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased seven basis points to 0.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 , compared to 0.74% for the same period in the prior year, due primarily to a decrease in the average balance of FHLB borrowings.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased $137,000 , or 2.0% , to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $6.8 million for the comparable period in 2014 . Interest income on loans decreased $123,000 , or 2.2% , during the three months ended March 31, 2015 , primarily reflecting a decrease in loan yields of 32 basis points compared to the same period in the prior year, as higher yielding loans continued to pay off and were replaced with loans at lower interest rates.

Interest income on investment securities increased $218,000 to $509,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $291,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 . The average balance of our investment securities increased $36.2 million to $96.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $59.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as the net proceeds received from the stock offering was

used to purchase investment securities. The yield on investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased 17 basis points due primarily to the purchase of investments with higher yields compared to 2014 .

Interest income on mortgage backed securities decreased $12,000 primarily due to a decrease in average balance of $6.6 million from $184.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $177.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 .

The following table compares average earning asset balances, associated yields, and resulting changes in interest income for the periods shown:

Total interest-earning assets $ 902,097 3.06 $ 755,201 3.58 $ 137

Interest Expense. Total interest expense remained stable at $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 . Deposit costs increased $63,000 , or 16.6% , primarily due to increases in rates paid on money market accounts and certificates of deposit as the result of targeted promotional efforts in new and existing market areas.

The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $67.0 million , or 12.6% , to $599.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $532.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 . This increase was attributable to increases in the average balances for transaction accounts of $3.5 million , savings accounts of $44.0 million , money market accounts of $17.7 million , and certificates of deposit of $1.6 million . The average balance of savings accounts increased primarily as a result of subscriptions received in anticipation of the stock offering, which was completed on January 29, 2015.

With rates at historically low levels there has been little incentive for depositors to extend maturities and reduce the liquidity associated with savings and money market products by renewing maturing certificates of deposit. Our targeted promotional certificate of deposit offerings has reversed that decline during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, resulting in an increase in the average cost of deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the same period last year. Borrowing costs declined $73,000 to $719,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $792,000 for the same period last year due to the maturity of $10.0 million long-term FHLB advances and the use of less expensive borrowings on our FHLB cash management advance account (CMA) for short-term business cash flow needs.

Provision for Loan Losses. There was no provision for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2015 , compared to $367,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 . This was primarily due to continued improvement in our asset quality as reflected in the decrease in classified loans. The decrease in classified loans is attributed to the improving economic conditions allowing some borrowers to better their financial condition. Management considers the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2015 to be adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment or information available to them at the time of their examination.

Total loans $ 499,607 $ 515,296

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $133,000 , to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 , from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 , primarily as a result of increases in mortgage servicing fees, net of amortization, of $56,000 and in other income of $65,000 . Mortgage servicing fees increased primarily as a result of a decrease in the amortization of mortgage servicing rights, and other income increased primarily due to increased revenue from investment services.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $9.9 million , or 170.6% , to $15.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 , compared to $5.8 million for the same period in 2014 . This increase in noninterest expense was primarily the result of the funding of the Foundation in connection with the conversion, and as contemplated by our Plan of Conversion, which was funded by contributions of $400,000 in cash and $9.3 million in stock for a total contribution of $9.7 million. An increase in compensation and benefits of $268,000 also contributed to the increase in noninterest expense as additional staffing has been added in connection with our branch expansion into Kitsap County. The Company has increased staffing in the credit administration, production and other support areas to manage its growth and improve approval times for loans. Compensation and benefits increases were also a result of certain market rate and merit increase adjustments for employees and management, as well as additional expenses related to the ESOP. These increased expenses were partially offset by a $71,000 decrease in real estate owned and repossessed assets expense as the number of properties held and managed by the Company decreased, and a decline of $59,000 in advertising expense compared to the same period the prior year.

The following table provides an analysis of the changes in the components of noninterest expense for the periods shown:

Provision for Income Tax. An income tax benefit of $1.2 million was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to an income tax expense of $92,000 for net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 . This was generally due to a decrease in income before taxes of $9.3 million . The net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2015, was primarily due to the Company contributing $400,000 in cash and $9.3 million in common

50

stock to the Foundation, resulting in a pre-tax noninterest expense charge of $9.7 million. Under current Federal income tax regulations, charitable contribution deductions are limited to 10% of taxable income. Accordingly, the $9.7 million contribution will create a carry-forward for income tax purposes with a deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance for financial statement purposes.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

General. A net loss was recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 of $5.8 million , or $(0.45) per share, compared to net income of $2.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 , a decrease of $7.8 million , or 393.0% . The decrease in net income was primarily the result of the funding of the Foundation.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $763,000 to $16.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , from $16.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 . The increase was the result of an increase in interest income coupled with a decrease in interest expense.

Net interest margin decreased nine basis points to 2.77% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , from 2.86% for the same period in 2014 , primarily due to a decrease of 26 basis points in average loan yields from 4.77% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 to 4.51% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 . Of the $763,000 increase in net interest income during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 , $1.3 million was the result of an increase in volume partially offset by a $549,000 decline from change in rates. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased seven basis points to 0.69% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , compared to 0.76% for the same period in the prior year, due primarily to the decreased cost of FHLB borrowings and a decline in the average balance of certificates of deposit.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased $533,000 , or 2.7% , to $20.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 from $19.7 million for the comparable period in 2014 . Interest income increased primarily due to increases in the average yield on investment and mortgage-backed securities. During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , average loan yields decreased 26 basis points compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014 , as higher yielding loans continued to pay off and were replaced with loans at lower interest rates. This resulted in interest income on loans receivable remaining the same at $16.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 although there was an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $26.9 million between those same periods.

Interest income on investment securities increased $310,000 to $1.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $846,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 . The average balance of the investment securities increased $16.0 million to $76.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $60.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 . The yield on investment securities for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 increased 15 basis points due primarily to higher reinvestment rates available in 2015.

Interest income on mortgage backed securities increased $177,000 primarily due to an increase of 30 basis points in average yields from 1.59% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 to 1.89% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 . The average balance of mortgage-backed securities decreased as cash flows were partially redeployed primarily to fund loan growth and, to a lesser extent, other investment securities.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $230,000 , or 6.4% , to $3.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , compared to $3.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 , primarily due to a $257,000 , or 10.5% , decline in borrowing costs. Deposit costs increased $27,000 , or 2.3% , primarily due to an increase in the average balance of money market accounts of $13.3 million coupled with an increase in the average rate paid of two basis points, which resulted in a $44,000 increase in interest paid on money market accounts during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 .

The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $30.5 million , or 5.7% , to $563.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 from $533.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 . This increase was attributable to increases in the average balances for transaction accounts of $2.6 million , savings accounts of $24.4 million , and money market accounts of $13.3 million partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit of $9.8 million . With rates at historically low levels there has been little incentive for depositors to extend maturities and reduce the liquidity associated with savings and money market products by renewing maturing certificates of deposit. The average cost of all deposit products decreased one basis point for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the prior period 2014. Borrowing costs declined $257,000 to $2.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 from $2.4 million for the same period last year due to the maturity of $10.0 million long-term FHLB advances and the use of less expensive borrowings on the FHLB CMA account for short-term business cash flow needs.

Total interest-bearing liabilities $ 654,796 0.69 $ 634,558 0.76 $ (230 )

Provision for Loan Losses. There was no provision for loan losses during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , compared to $799,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 . This was primarily due to improving asset quality as reflected in the decrease in classified loans. The decrease in classified loans is attributed to the improving economic conditions allowing some borrowers to better their financial condition. The improvement in net charge-offs reflects the improvement in real estate values in our market areas.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $47,000 from $3.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 to $3.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 . Loan and deposit service fees decreased $113,000 , or 4.3% , to $2.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , mainly due to lower non-sufficient funds, or NSF, fees on deposit accounts and lower fees related to income received on ATM and VISA transactions. Decreases in the gain on sale of loans of $200,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , compared to the same period in 2014 , was attributable to a reduction in loan sales activity. These decreases were partially offset by increases to mortgage servicing fees, net of amortization, of $114,000 and other income of $81,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014. Mortgage servicing fees increased primarily as a result of a decrease in the amortization of mortgage servicing rights, and other income increased primarily due to increased revenue from investment services.

This increase in noninterest expense was primarily the result of the funding of the Foundation, which resulted in an increase in noninterest expense of $9.7 million. Compensation and benefits increased $1.0 million , and data processing and occupancy and equipment expense of $241,000 and $99,000 , respectively, partially offset by a $295,000 decline in real estate owned and repossessed assets expense, net. Compensation and benefits during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 also increased compared to the comparable period in 2014 as a result of certain market rate and merit increase adjustments for employees and management and increased employee benefits expenses, including expenses related to the ESOP.

Rate/Volume Analysis

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

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

In the normal course of operations, First Federal engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in the financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. For the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended June 30, 2014 , we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term and long-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities and borrowings from the FHLB. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are usually predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and borrowed funds, and prepayments on loans and investment securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition, which can cause those sources of funds to fluctuate.

Management regularly adjusts our investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of the expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, the yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our interest-rate risk and investment policies.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents followed by available for sale securities. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2015 , cash and cash equivalents totaled $42.1 million . Securities classified as available-for-sale, whose aggregate market value exceeds cost, provide additional sources of liquidity and had a market value of $290.4 million at March 31, 2015 . In addition, at March 31, 2015 , we had excess FHLB stock of $5.6 million . We expect the excess FHLB stock to be substantially redeemed after the merger of the FHLB Seattle and FHLB Des Moines during the quarter ending June 30, 2015. We have pledged collateral to support borrowings from the FHLB of $90.0 million . We have also established a borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco; however, no collateral has been pledged as of March 31, 2015 .

57

At March 31, 2015 , we had $425,000 in loan commitments outstanding, and an additional $36.8 million in undisbursed loans and standby letters of credit.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2015 totaled $65.6 million , or 44.8% of certificates of deposit. The large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers' hesitancy to invest their funds for longer periods at historically low interest rates. Management believes, based on past experience, that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will be renewed or rolled into money market accounts. If these maturing deposits are not renewed, however, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on certificates of deposit. In addition, we believe that our branch network, which is presently comprised of nine full-service retail banking offices located throughout our primary market area, and the general cash flows from our existing lending and investment activities, will afford us sufficient long-term liquidity. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Capital Resources

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

Effective January 1, 2015 (with some changes transitioned into full effectiveness over two to four years), First Federal became subject to new capital adequacy requirements adopted by the FDIC which created a new required ratio for common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital, increased the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, changed the risk-weightings of certain assets for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios, created an additional capital conservation buffer over required risk-based capital ratios, and changed what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting these various capital requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by bank regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In addition to the capital requirements, there are a number of changes in what constitutes regulatory capital, subject to transition periods. These changes include the phasing-out of certain instruments as qualifying capital, of which First Federal has none . Mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets over designated percentages of CET1 are deducted from capital, subject to a four-year transition period ending December 31, 2017. CET1 consists of Tier 1 capital less all capital components that are not considered common equity. In addition, Tier 1 capital includes accumulated other comprehensive income, which includes all unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt and equity securities, subject to a transition period ending December 31, 2017. Because of our asset size, we are not considered an advanced approaches banking organization and have elected to permanently opt-out of the inclusion of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt and equity securities in our Tier 1 capital calculations.

The new requirements also include changes in the risk-weighting of assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposure. These include a 150% risk weight (up from 100%) for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and for non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise in nonaccrual status; a 20% (up from 0%) credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is not unconditionally cancelable (currently set at 0%); and a 250% risk weight (up from 100%) for mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital.

In addition to the minimum CET1, Tier 1, and total capital ratios, First Federal will have to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. This new capital conservation buffer requirement is to be phased in over a period of four years starting with an increase of 0.625% beginning in January 2016 and increasing by the same amount each year until the full 2.5% becomes effective in January 2019.

Under the new standards, in order to be considered well-capitalized, First Federal must have a CET1 risk-based ratio of 6.5% (new), a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 8% (increased from 6%), a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% (unchanged) and a leverage ratio of 5% (unchanged)

58

At March 31, 2015 , First Federal exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for First Federal to maintain a “well-capitalized” status under the capital categories of the FDIC. Based on capital levels at March 31, 2015 , First Federal was considered to be well-capitalized.

The following table shows the capital ratios of First Federal at March 31, 2015 .

Actual — Amount Ratio Minimum Capital Requirements — Amount Ratio Minimum Required to Be Well-Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions — Amount Ratio
(Dollars in thousands)
Tier 1 Capital to total adjusted assets (1) $ 129,404 14.0 % $ 36,888 4.0 % $ 46,110 5.0 %
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets (2) 129,404 22.9 25,426 4.5 36,727 6.5
Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets (2) 129,404 22.9 33,902 6.0 45,202 8.0

On January 29, 2015 , First Northwest Bancorp became the bank holding company for First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles in connection with the completion of the Bank’s conversion from the mutual to the stock form of organization and the Company’s related public stock offering. In the offering, the Company sold 12,167,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10 per share, and received net offering proceeds of approximately $117.6 million . Following the offering and the contribution to the Foundation the Company has 13,100,360 shares of common stock outstanding. From the proceeds, the Company made a capital contribution of approximately $58.4 million to the Bank. The Company’s stock trades on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “FNWB.”

Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. For a bank holding company with less than $1.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary banks to be well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices. The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented in this report have been prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which require the measurement of financial and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs and the effect that general inflation may have on both short-term and long-term interest rates. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Although inflation expectations do affect interest rates, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in First Northwest Bancorp’s Registration Statement (SEC Registration No. 333-185101).

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) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), and other members of the Company's management team as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2015 , 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 Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 , that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company also continued to implement suggestions from its internal auditor and independent auditors to strengthen existing controls.

The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it 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 the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent every error or instance of 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 in controls or procedures 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 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 become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or 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.
